said, "Americans fell into the be
lief that to make the world safe

democracy for other world peo
ples."
Now, he added, Russians (pre
sumably of the governing class)
seem to be flirting with the idea
that the way to make the Rus
sian system safe is to impose
communism on the rest of the
world.
You will recall that the same
general Idea has been expressed,
much more bluntly and WITH

r shivered a little at Bcvin's
statement, for it appeared to
carry the implication that Rus
sia, proposes to impose commun
ism on the rest of the world by
armed might.
Dr. Simons approaches the idea
from another angle, suggesting
that what is In the wind is the
spread of communism through
out the non-communist world by
Infiltration from Russia. '
That may be dangerous. Still,
If we ADOPT communism volun

TS suggestion that the Rus
sians couldn't make war if
they wanted to is Interesting.
The same statement has been of

It could bo true.

in Abundance, is no longer the
dominant factor in war-making.
Man-power must now be supple
mented by machine-power. Rus
sia's machine-power is rising, but
it can't yet hope to equal the com
bined production resources of
Britain and America. Russia
made a gallant fight, but there
are few informed people In the
world who bollevc she could have
won against Germany without
the war machines provided for
her by the United States and
Britain.

IF we assume that Russia has so
far been running a blutf, we
shall have to admit that she has
profiled hoavlly by it. She has
gathered in about all ot Europe
east of the Elbe river, and all of
the Balkans save Crercc. So II
stands to reason that she will con

off.

KEEP UP THE
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Harold Hickerson, secretary-manager of the Roseburg
Chamber of Commerce, was in a very depressed mood when
we contacted him one mid-afternoon recently. The mood was
so foreign to his usual enthusiasm and energy that we had
to inquire into the cause.
"AH I've done today has
Harold replied.
When we inquired what he
told us it is his office record
and critical inquiry regarding
The discussion which followed disclosed a lot of wasted
energy which could be used
directed.
We have in Roseburg and,
county, progressive people
anxious to see improvements in community life.
For instance, here in Roseburg, we hear much vocaliza
tion concerning parks and playgrounds, swimming pool,
civic center, street signs, rest rooms, parking meters, traffic
signals, improved hospital facilities, street improvements.
better airport facilities, etc.
campaigns to open dead-end
up store fronts, clean-up and
and many other such activities. '
Service clubs, veterans organizations, women's clubs, fra
ternities and civic societies each strive to find some project
in which to work for civic betterment. As a result we have
a dozen or more activities under promotion, but see little
real accomplishment.
It is obvious that our municipal governments, limited in
revenue and hard pressed to extend needed services to rap
idly expanding populations, do not have funds to do all the
things people desire.
If we could concentrate our energies upon one thing at a
time, devoting time, money and effort to one particular pur
pose, we might be able to make some progress.
As an example, take the
years ago by Kenneth Ford
public contributions toward a
single-handed, raised a large
rolling. But, immediately, individuals and groups went off
on various tangents and not another thing was done to ad
vance the program on which such a favorable start had been
made. Had this most worthy
deserved we would now have enough funds on hand to make
a good start toward a well-planned civic center, with park,
playground and swimming pool as component parts. We sin
cerely hope the plan will be revived and pressed during the
current year. Some civic-minded group, ambitious to engage
in a worth-while project, could solve its problem, we believe,
by taking the initiative in reviving the civic center campaign.
Another thing that should be borne in mind, is that it
pays to investigate what has been and is being dono con
cerning any project before becoming too vocal with criticism.
A delegation recently visited the Chamber of Commerce
office vigorously criticizing failure to campaign for much
needed increase in hospital facilities. The visitors were some
what chagrined when shown a voluminous file covering more
than two years of hard work directed toward enlarging
hospital accommodations and
Chamber of Commerce committees are working on the
airport problem, street improvements and traffic control,
parks, playgrounds, recreation, rest rooms, etc. But the work
proceeds slowly, partially because energies are dissipated by
trying to do too many things ut once, rather than concen
trating upon one issue at a timo.
One possible solution, we believe, is the formation of a plan
ning or steering committee which would classify projects in
the order of their Importance, and then coordinate and unify
efforts of all organizations and individuals into the comple
tion of the adopted task.
We would not want to see
for business. When we quit "griping" about conditions, when
we are satisfied with what we have, we might as well fold
up the city streets, erect headstones and turn out the lights.
We need dissatisfaction and criticism if we are to make prog
ress, but our criticism should be constructive, based on facts
and backed by a willingness to strjvc for improvement.

Jaycee Dance Is
Delight to Throng
Featuring both western
rhythms and popular ballads,
Douglas county dancers and spec
tators alike cheered and ap
plauded the orchestra of Tiny Du
mont last night at the Junior
Chamber of Commerce rodeo-eve
dance at the Armory.
With each of the seven music
makers taking part in vocals and
various instrumental solos to the
delight of dancers, Uke Tracy,
the girl vocalist and bass player
of the combo, stole the spotlight
throughout the evening with per
sonality displays during her fea
tured songs.
Another all-round western mu
sician who won the large crowd's
attention was Smitty Smith,
drummer, and former member of
several leading dance orchestras
in Los Angeles before serving
three vears in the armed forces.
Leader Tinv Dumont, owner of
Dumont Amusement Park in
Portland, went through numerous
humorous antics as master of
