Building of More
Boats Noted At
Gardiner Plants
REEDSPOKT Fred C. 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.
The first six months of 1915
also showed more growth in
membership and registered units
with a net gain of over 300 Boy
Scouts and Cub Scouts and 20
new troops and packs.

PUBLIC HOUSING PROJECTS
By ChsriM
Roseburg' s desperate need
before representatives of the
a luncheon meeting held Thursday. 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;,

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

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

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.

In another recent Kansas City
Interview, he described himself
as "a busy man In charge of $200,

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."

Lead f o 6 Games
It won't annear In the record

The Stars droDDed their fourth

while the Seals were knocking
off the second-place Seattle Rain

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.
