TWO ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1 946 OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION By CHARLES V. STANTON An opportunity for Roseburg residents, who for rrmny months have been complaining about the lack of street signs, to facilitate installation of signs now being prepared for erection, has been offered by the city council. The city street department, lacking adequate personnel, is unable to place the signs with any great amount Of speed. If, on th,e other hand, sufficient manpower could be obtained, the 35Q signs soon to be available, could be erected promptly. George Frew, street superintendent, reports that 350 post holes must be dug. A few will be in concrete, but the ma jority will be in parkings, Where no great amount of labor will be involved. The city council has indicated it would appreciate dona tions of volunteer labor. It is quite possible some organiza tion interested in civic improvement would be willing to aid in this activity certainly one of great importance. Any group willing to furnish the labor necessary to com plete this project should contact the street superintendent and arrange date, tools, and other details. Frew says the street department will lend .every assistance and give super visory direction, stake locations for posts, and join in the lahor. Unless voluntary assistance is given, erection of signs will be done piecemeal, whenever regular employes can snatch a few minutes of time, and the task will string out for several weeks. On the other hand, donated labor by a large number of persons could complete the job in a single day. We have had a lot of vocalizing about the lack of street signs, the criticism being well justified, and now we have an opportunity to back up our demands by direct action. Propaganda Often Misleading Oregon residents have been ;nuch concerned in recent months about the proposed Columbia Valley Authority. It now appears nothing will be done by the present Congress with the proposal, but it 1b sure to turn up in the next Congress. The Tennessee Valley Authority is frequently cited as an example of what CVA would offer. The Tennessee Val ley is a long distance from Oregon and very few of our resi dents are familiar with details of that project, aside from news and propaganda. The Intelligencer published at Wheeling, W. Va., recently made the following editorial comment concerning TVA : Continuing jtp program of boasting about the economio advantages .the Tennessee Valley Authority has created at the expense of the taxpayer of the entire country, the Ten nessee Department of Conservation is ourrently printing an advertisement in national publications which says, among other things: "Power lines fiave brought to. the area a new way of life. Frnn have become mechanized motors have taken the place of man power. Modern appliances have made liv ing more enjoyable. Workers have more time for self improvement and recrdation ; , , M The advertisement doesn't iay how many farms have heoome mechanised, r to what extent motors have re placed men. Aotually, after 10 years of TVA, directed pri ' marlly at eleotrifylng a vast rural area, only 5.6 per cent ',, of the farms In Tennessee are eleotrjf led. ,ln that respsct Tennessee ranks 41st among the 48 states of the Union. -West Virginia, getting power through private enterprise and without federal subsidization of nearly a billion dollars, has electrified ?3.8 per cen( of her farms. Tennessee has Inoreaaed farm electrification 551.3 per cent In 10 years, West Virginia, 820 per cent. The advertisement leaves some other things unsaid It .mention that flood control has been accomplished. As sume tor the taks of argument that the big dams have stop ped the floods. But to do so, they toavs permanently flooded territory with an estimated orop value of 3,Q00,000, whereas the average annual 'lood damage was figured at $1,784,061. This propaganda Is directed at private Industry, Inviting suoh industry to selxe upon the opportunities awaiting in the Tennessee Valley by locating plants there. Ironical, to say the least, that such an Invitation should come from a tax free, government-supported operation that I the antithesis of private enterprise. ' The advertisement offers no assurance that new In dusty locating In Tennessee will not be absorbed by the gov ernment like private companies In the power field have been. - Apparently, judging from the observations of the Intelli gencer, which is in a position to sec TVA at close range, free enterprise and competition still produce better results than federally-sponsored and financed organization. : We should think twice before we cede our Northwest empire to Washington's economic and social planners, who promise a Utopia if wo will only sign away everything but our lives in permitting the CVA to control our future. lto$eturo News-Beview Entered eecond clM matter My IT JlttO. at tn poi toff ire at Roneburg Oratfon. under pet of March 2, Member of the AMoclted Pre".

THE Idea 1b that an atom rocket, fooling along at a mere b.uou feet a second a out let travels at about 3,000 feet per second) would be caught up with by this spurting flash of molten metal whizzing at 25,000 feet a second and POOF! That would be the end of it. (We think of ourselves, of course, as doing all this to our enemies, but we have to remem ber that In the course of time our enemies would be doing It to us.) WE all fear world government as we fear the plague, but in the face of terrors that science, just now beginning to got its stride, is cooking up for us, world government may seem by com parison almost cozy. . SPEAKING of old-fashioned ter rors, there was a cyclone the other day in the general area of Detroit and Windsor, which is just across the line in Canada. An eyewitness describes it thus: "It seemed to have electricity in the center of it. It wasn't black, the way some people have described it. It was gray shaped like a cone, with the tip pointed toward the earth. "It seemed to bounce along and every time the tip of the cone touched the earth there was a rush of smoke. It seemed to pick or suck a house up and tear it to bits, dropping pieces of wood and debris all over the country. "Outside the cone, it seomed to be dark, which made the cone In the center look something like a flashlight. As It picked up a house, it looked like there was going to ho a fire, and then a ter rific wind seemed to smother the fire." In the olden, golden days of the dear dead past, a cyclone such as that would have seemed, even when merely read about, a horrible nightmare. Now It is al most comforting to hear of some thing of that sort thai Isn't man made and primed for war. AFTKR all these jittery terrors, we'd better solace ourselves a little bit and as a spluce noth ing is better than a good, hearty gripe. Along the gripe line, Senator Wllev (Republican, from Wiscon sin) calls in the reporters in Washington and tells them with tooth-gritting emphasis that "dis posal of surplus government (war) properly by the War As sets Administration is a national disgrace . . . that Is crying to high heaven for full exposure and immediate correction." . WITH the country crying ior goods and Inflation creeping ud on us like a hungry ugcr oe- cause of the lack of litem, It is something of a scandal that gov ernment warehouses from the Atlantic to the Pacific are bulg ing with goods that because of red tape and unworkable legisla tion can't 1)0 sold. It scorns prob able that tills flood of goods will get to the markets Just about tne time Industry gets into full pro-j duction. Still, a lot ol people want gov ernment to DO EVKKYTIUNG.i to retain their game and a half national League bulge over the runner-up Kcdbinls.

Scarsella's Bat Keeps Oaks Game, Ahead of Seals ' (By the Associated Press) The loading pitcher and heavi est home run hitter of the Pacific Coast Baseball League, sparking he pennant chase of the chief rivals, today had impressive bids lo surpass the top players in their specialities last year. Scarsella, Oakland first base man, banged out his 17lh circuit blow last night to deliver his league-leading club a 6-5 decision over Ihe San Diego Padres. Jansen, ace moundsman of the San Francisco Seals, hold the Rainiers to six hits for a 10-3 vic tory and his 15th in 18 games this season. The victory left the Seals a game behind the league-leading Oaks. With more than half the season left, Scarsella needs only six more homers to equal Ihe 1945 mark of 23 hold by Ted Norbert, playing for Seattle. The league's home run record is GO, clouted by Anthony Lazcrri of Ihe old Salt Lake Club in 1025, but baseballs were bouncier then. Jansi'n is nearly half way to the 11)45 game-winning mark of 31 which won Bob Joyce a ticket from the San Kranclsco Seals to the majors. Joyce's 1945 record was the highest in the league since Frank S. May of the Vernon Cluh turned in 35 in 1922. Scarsella clouted his game-winner in the ninth frame with the count knotted at 5-all. He earlier singled home two runs, and his total of three for the night gave him 62 for the loop's top number of runs hatted in this season. The Padres outhit the Oaks, collect ing 11 safeties off four cliuckers. Other Results Manny Perex won a tight pitch- Intr duel with Al Smith for a 3-0 victory by the Hollywood Stars over the Sacramento Solons. Each hurlor allowed six hits. Portland's Beavers snagged a 4-3 decision over the Los Angeles Angels with a throe-run rally in the final stanza. Crawford got a walk and Reich singled to open the rally. Turner sacrificed them along, and Wheeler's single sent Crawford and Reich home to tie the score. Helser, Beavor hurler, singled and Dobbins drove in the winning tally with a single. In the times of Henry VIII, a person was liable to have his ears cut off for not attending church. The name used In medical re ports for the black ,or ship rat is rattus rattus rattus.
