SANITARIAN NEEDED
In the Day's News
By CHARLES V. STANTON
The Douglas County budget committee is reported to have
rejected an appeal for funds with which to employ a county
sanitary engineer. The committee doubtless felt it had ade
quate reason for its action, but our personal opinion is that
the matter was not properly presented to the committee or
insufficient investigation was made, for, otherwise, we be
lieve, the greatly needed safeguard to health would have
been provided. :
Few people, we fear, are aware of the great danger and
menace to health occasioned by poor sanitation. We will be
extremely fortunate if we escape epidemics and loss of life
pending improvements to sanitary facilities. Already we
have had several mild epidemics of dysentery. These may or
may not have resulted from increasingly dangerous condi
tions but, we believe, that if proper investigation could be
made, the source of these epidemics could be traced directly
to conditions which would quickly be remedied under proper
supervision.
Employment of a sanitarian is proposed as a state subsi
dized project. The state, With federal cooperation, would pay
one-third of the cost, while the county would assume two
thirds of the expense. The City of Roseburg set aside $1,000
in its tentative budget to join with the county, which would
leave less than $3,000 as the county's contribution. Both the
county and city would receive back a considerable share of
their investment through fees collected by the engineer in
his inspections of restaurants, taverns and other places
where foods or beverages are publicly dispensed.
The budget committee, naturally, is concerned with future
expenses of a new department. Experience has shown that
such projects,, once started, keep growing and expanding,
demanding more and more funds, while, at the same time,
outside participating agencies gradually withdraw, leaving
the county with the entire burden, or at least the greater
share.
Our county health department, county agricultural arid
4-H club departments are good examples. Yet the services
rendered by these agencies are of extreme value. They have
amply proven their Worth. Even those who once fought vig-
orously to have them expunged from the county budget would
rally to their defense today should efforts be made to dis
continue them.
If vc installed a sanitary engineer we could expect his
work to expand and costs to go up in proportion. In that
premise the county budget committee was not in error. But
we also must consider the type of services, to be rendered
and the. need for such service. -
We have in Douglas County approximately 500 places dis
pensing foods and-beverages. Soma could not conform to
even the minimum standards.
We have a sewage disposal problem that deserves imme
diate attention. The fringe area around the city of Roseburg
is as densely populated as residential' '-districts inWe the
munipical boundaries, yet theso areas have no sanitary sys
tems. Numerous cases of surface seepage and even open
ditches are to be found some in heavily populated sections,
lieptic tanks have been installed in black mud, despite the
fact that this type of soil cracks open in summer months
and permits effluent to rise to the surface of the ground.
The county health department reports that approximately
one-third of the calls received at the local office pertain to
Unsanitary conditions. But the health department staff, al
eady overworked, is not able to make the inspections neces
sary for correction.
It is true that a sanitarian would cost money, but we be
lieve the service to bo rendered would well justify the expen
diture. We would rather pay a little more in taxes than to
see our children crippled with infantile paralysis, which
many authorities now claim is a fly-borne disease, or num
bers of people made ill, and possibly killed, by typhoid or
other diseases resulting from unsanitary conditions.
An effort will be made, at the time the county budget is
given 'ft. public hearing, to have the item for employment of
a sanitarian included. It is our personal hope the effort will
be successful.

The figure considerably tops
the 800 cars whleh northwest
feed dealers have estimated
would be necessary to relieve the

R. B. Collins, memner of the
Washington State PMA commit

"We were also advised of two

Yugoslavia was received by the
U. S. delegation to the foreign
ministers council yesterday and
today. The reports created a cer
tain amount of anxiety either
that Moscow might be trying to
embark on a new type of pres
sure politics to obtain peace set
tlements in accordance with its
own conceptions or that elements
seeking discord among the Big
Four powers were at work."
He adds:
"Because of the difficulty of ac
cess behind the so-called iron
curtain' of Europe, it is hard to
get any exact, confirmed details
regarding these rumors . . . Nev
ertheless, there is reason to be
lieve that as a result of such in
formation as has been received
U. S. regiments In Germany and
some allied troops in Italy have
been alerted and units protective
ly shifted, despite any official de
nials of such measures."
HE story brought from an "of
ficial spoKesman' from the
American delegation in Paris a
statement that "a published news.
paper story that American troops
in Germany may have been alert
ed because of reported concen
trations of Russian troops in
southeastern Germany is based
on rumors."
"Official spokesman" then
added:
There are all sorts of rumors
flying around here and that par
ticular one is the kind that I do
not want to comment on in any
way whatsoever."
That is to say, he neither con

EEP in mind that matters in
Europe are approaching a
showdown. Both Byrnes (U. S.)
and Bevin (British) have asserted
that they are going to bring the
peace treaty business "to a head
this time. IF there is bluffing, it
may be assumed that It will con
tinue clear up to the last mo
ment. The- city of Trieste, in north
ern Yugoslavia, is the hot spot of
the peace settlement, and If there
are to be displays of force any
where It may be assumed that
they will come In that general
area.
IF the Russians are moving
troops into advantageous posi

be natural to assume that we and
the British 'are moving troops in
to counter-positions.
It all serves to Illustrate the ex
plosive nature of the crisis that
Is at hand.
THERE Is one other straw in the
wind.
A senate-house conference com
mittee has tentatively agreed up
on a nine-months extension of the
draft until next March 31. With
election coming up, nobody want
ed to take action like that now.

Lumber for Farms
Farmers mav find a rav of
hope for more lumber as the re
sult of recent actions taken by
the Civilian Production Adminis
tration. The actions are:
1. Instructions to CPA field of
fices to cut down two-thirds on
the amount 'of lumber approved
for uses other than in housinp
and farm construction.
2. 25 percent of a distributor's
regular monthly supply of lum
ber must now be held for uses
without priority ratings as well
as all lumber a distributor may
get above his regular certified
amounts. Distributors also must
release their reserve lumber at
the end of the month It is receiv
ed, rather than wait 60 days as
previously required. Hitherto,
lumber distributors could hold all
their supplies for priority sales,
making It difficult to get lumber
even for small repair Jobs on the
farm. Immediate effect of the
changes should be to release for
sale without priority all the lum
ber the yards received prior to
June 1 except that which is ob
