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.

Former Erratic
Hurlers Win For
Dodgers, Cardinals
(By the Asscx'lntod Press)
Managers Durochcr of the
Brooklyn Dodgers hihI Dyer of
the SI. Louis Cardinals, whose
singing talents are confined
mainly to the bathtub, were hum
ming the same tune today and
it sounded suspiciously like the
song entitled ''Coming in On a
Wing ann a rrayer.
Searehine frantically for an
other starting moundsman to ease
the pitching burden of his over
worked staff, each perspiring
pilot received a much needed lift
yeslerdny when Joe Hntlen and
Ten Wilks, a pair of pitching prob
lems U season, came, ihroiish
wllh handsome hurling exnim
Hons to bring victory to the Dod-
fiors and Cards, respectively. Both
Jurocher and Dyer were keoping
their fingers crossed praying that
the former erratic moumismen
have finally hit their strides.

whose stylish left wing was
counted on to notch "at least 15
victories" for the Dodgers in this,
his freshman year, finally flashed
the form expected of him as he

(Continued from page 1)
at such a high speed (maybe five
miles PER SECOND) . that . it
would go right through the
armor plate of a plane flying an
atom bomb or punch right
through an atomic rocket."
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
