Schulte, of the F. C. Schulte boat build ing plant of Gardiner, announces that lie naa jusi signed a ooniiavt to build a new wood hull, 65 feet ' In length, fully equipped all ready for sea, with the exception of fishing gcur, for Virgil Streng, of Eureka, California. This -boat Is tn he used for deeu sea fishing. The vessel will be similar to the four fine Baby Tuna clippers that this firm recently completed for the Van Camp 1'acKing company and which are now in service In southern waters. Each of the Van Camp boats cost slightly in ex cess of $35,000.00 and the new vessel, 30 feet longer than the Clippers will naturally cost con siderably more. Schulte is at present finishing and refitting a life boat for use by the Keedsport sea acouis, which will be equipped with a light engine as well as sail. He Is also rebuilding the river Boat "Bear" for Dewey Abbot to be used in the umpqua ana smim Kiver towing fleet. The mall and freight boat, "Benetia," recently purchased by the Nehal Brothers when they took over the nihil und freight route on flie Smith River run, Is being fitted with a new 60 H. P. diesrt engine arid will soon be back on Its run. Mr. Schulte is also building, for his own use, a 36-foot worn boat with cabin and living quarters for crew and workmen so that he can r-xtend his repair business to ome distance from his plant when It becomes necessary. This bout will have as power a 135-45 H. P. Royal gas engine. A 300 loot marine railway has just been comuleted at the Gardiner plant to assist In handling boat repair work. At the present time Mr. Schulte is employing 18 men but normally he has from 25 to 65 men on the pay roll. Membership Gain Of Oregon Trail Council Reported Only two Boy Scout councils In America showed a greater uercelitage enin in scout mem- iH-rship than the Oregon Trail council during li)44. This fact was revealed this Week by Kenneth A. Wells, former scout executive of the Oitgon Truil council, now a mem ber of the national council staff, who sent a statistical report to the local council, Roger L. Bales, scout executive, said. There was over a 48 per cent Increase In the number of Boy Souts in the Oregon Trail coun cil during 11)14, and the increase Jor a two-year period was nearly 75 per cent. At the end of 1944 there were 1R71 Boy Scouts, in addition to nearly a thousand Cub Scouts, boys 9, 10 and 11 years of ige. The total membership of Hie Oregon Trail council, which com prises Lane, Benton, Lincoln, Douglas, Quiry and Coos coun ties, was 3,331 nt the end of last year.

Little hope was held out for complete relief, although recommendations that pub lie housing installations be NHA. officials. A good many people are of public housing units. Personally, we feel it is econom ically unsound to use public there is ample private capital resentatives of the housing agency hold like opinions, but, under prevailing circumstances, it appears no Solution to the critical housing Situation exists in Roseburg, and other industrial communities in Douglas county, except througfc federally-financed projects. The first barrier to private shortage of building materials. Dealers report siding and flooring to be practically non other materials are extremely ties for private home construction have been approved for the Roseburg area, James E. Maxwell, housing repre sentative, reported, but only about 90 houses have been built or are in process of construction. Other priority holders are either waiting for materials or have become discouraged and have given up original plans to construct homes. Another handicap to private home construction is found in the shortage of carpenters. Mill operators report great difficulty in obtaining skilled workmen to erect needed buildings, and several business structures are being delayed for the same reason. Many dwelling units are standing vacant in some of the large public housing projects in the Portland-Vancouver area, where shipyard workers have been released. It is possible to move these structures into localities where they are needed. Mill and logging operators are unanimous in the opinion that the only immediate solution to the housing proolem in Douglas county is transfer of these available units. One 60-unit project already has been authorized for con struction in West Roseburg. It was reported at Thursdays meeting that another block of these demountable-type homes would be recommended by the National Housing Agency. The agency indicated it would recommend installation of the maximum number of availablo units, but doubts were expressed that authority Would be obtained for as many as 100. Showing Was made that requirements by the first of the year will be approaching the 500 mark as Kenneth Ford's new mill at Dillard goes into operation as the Umpqua Plywood company opens its plant how under construction at Green, and if Voung's Bay Lumber company adds an other shift, as it is being pressed to do by the War Produc tion board. Investment builders and real estate agents joined with the mill operators in encouraging installation of public housing projects. Rather than interfering with sale of privately-owned property, experience has proven that pub lic units promote real estate movement, it was stated. Workers who become established on the job and who form a liking for the community decide to become permanent residents and either buy existing homes or take up priorities for construction with private capital. Living conditions in the federally-financed projects are not entirely satis factory and once a worker has determined to become a permanent resident of a community, his first act is to ootain his own home, experience has shown. It is quite evident that even though we may dislike pub lic housing in principle, it is the only answer to Douglas county's critical need for living quarters for the man power required in our lumber industry. Simultaneously with public housing, the National Housing Agency promises to keep priorities for private buildings available, within reasonable limits, so those persons, particularly key in dustrial men, may erect their own homes when materials and labor can bo obtained. More Agents to be Engaged for Drive On Tax Evaders J. W. Malonev. collector nt In. ternal revenue, lor the Oi-i.ir.n district, announced today that 25 employes will be added to the in ternal revenue staff In this dis trict to assist the Treasury de partment's current drive against wartime tax evaders. Primarily, the positions will ho allotted to persons havlns. ex perience In business, accountitu;, ecal, and investigation work which would fit them for emplr.v nient as deputy collectors, rev enue agents, and special iigcnls. A limited number of clerical posi tions must also be filled. Salaries mr the positions rnnrje from $1,704 plus overtime for clerical to j:,t80 plus overtime for tech nical and administrative posi tions. The efforts of these additional employees, together with the in tensified effort to existing staffs, are expected, according to ihe Treasury department, to collect at least a billion dollars of addi tional revenue from tax chlsrlcrs all over the country. AltoKcther this effort to force black marketeers and ot'.icr tax evaders to pay their fair share of the war cost, will rrquirc the addition of more than 10,000 qualified employees to the Inter nal revenue service throuohout the United tates.

XX) YOU MIGHT CO MORE WOKK YOU HAVE Suicide Planes Worst Jap Weapon, Adm. Kiefer Says CHICAGO, JULY 21 (API- Japanese kamikaze or suicide planes obtain "four to five times'' as many hits on naval craft "as can be accomplished In normal aive bombing or horizontal bomb ing," Commodore Dixie Klefer, captain of the aircraft carrier Ticondcroga, said yesterday. The navy disclosed the Ticond croga suffered 337 casualties and extensive fire and bomb damage when struck by two Jap suicide planes near Formosa last Jan uary. The commodore said that sui cide bombing was effective "be cause it is fairly easy for a ship to maneuver away from other types of bombing but impossible to maneuver away lrom a plane that is being steered." , I believe the Jap air force and factories have been so badly bat tered they Just don't have any planes to send out,' he said. borne of the suicide nlancs arc old, obsolete crates. If they had any planes up their sleeve there would be no better place to use them than off the coast of JaDan right now."' The baka bomb a Bllot-drlvcn suicide bomb carried under the belly of another plane is not In wide use by the Japs, Klefer stat ed. Wounded Many Times Klefer. wounded in 65 nlaees by bomb fragments when the Ti condcroga was hit. still has one arm in a cast. The veteran naw man attrl. butes the fact that all fires on the Tleonderoga were extinguish ed before any of the carrier's own bombs exploded to a quick maiuunra turn, maae lour min utes after the hit. In another recent Kansas City Interview, he described himself as "a busy man In charge of $200, 000,000 of naval air stations in New England," and added: "I've got another carrier ear marked for me. And this time the Japs are really going to pay for what they have done to me." Klefer shattered his left arm In June, 1912, while he was serv ing as executive officer of the carrier Yorktown, which was sunk in the battle of Midway. He walked with a slight limp from a broken leg In the Yorktown sinking. r U. S. Governor HORIZONTAL 1, Pictured V.

VACATION CHURCH fT rr. -rrn T7J Lower Umpqa to Vote on Proposed School Merger REEDSPORT Voters of the lower Umpqua valley will be cal led to the polls by a special elec tion August 15 of this year to de cide whether or not they shall have one large and efficient con solidated high school district, or plod along with divided interests. The wheels have been set in mo tion by the school heads of Gar diner, Reedsport, Loon Lake and Smith River to consolidate their interests with the Gardiner high school district No. 13. Each will maintain present grade school districts and if the consolidation Is voted, which will make the present Gardiner set-up the mo ther district, certain of the direct ors of that district will resign and others be elected at large to fill the vacancies in order to equalize the representation with five members on the high school district board. Under this set-up the Reeds port district will turn over its present high school building for the use of the new district as long as that building is used as a high school. The former asses sed valuation of the property in what will be the new ristrict, if approved by, the voters was $3, 578,545.00 and under the new valuation recently approved in this county, it will be consider ably more. This new arangement if authorized will give the lower Umpqua district a much higher standing in education value, pro ponents claim.
