IF you want to check that state ment, search YOUR OWN thoughts. Tow do YOU feel about it? Are you perfectly happy and contented with the fact that your government went 20 billion dol lars In the hole during this fiscal year that is Just ending? Or would you feel better about It If we were making some prog ress toward REDUCING our in AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT L ETS put It a little more simply. Suppose you owned some stock In a concern whose earn ings represented your sole hope of a comfortable living In your old age." How would you feel about It if that concern were hcuding deep er Into debt ever yduy with no visible prospect that Us managers contemplate any REDUCTION in their spending policies? LETS put It a little more bluntly: What would you DO about It? THE lnswer ! fairly plain. You'd get together with your fellow stockholders and serve an ultimatum on your managers to the effect that unless they begin to display a little more plain com mon sense and elementary busi ness judgment you'll FIRE them. THIS is the point: As long as spenders continue to be elected or appointed to of fice government spending will go on more or less unchecked. '. That is plain human nature. If the people continue to RE WARD reckless spending It is only natural for the spenders to assume that what they arc doing is popular. German Prisoners Aid Beet Growers In Malheur By CHARLES V. STANTON A definite showdown on local airport facilities must be faced in the very near future. Feeder service is scheduled to start in September. It is very possible authority will be granted for temporary use of Roseburg's existing airport, but duration of such permission, we believe, will be definitely limited, and service will be discontinued if some action to provide improved facilities is not taken. ' ! Roseburg's present port is below the minimum standards for a Class III airport, and anything below a Class III air port is considered unsuitable for commercial airline service. If the Roseburg port is accepted it will be only because the Civilian Aeronautics Authority waives variations between the existing field and Class III requirements. A Class III airport, for instance, requires a runway 3800 feet in length, 500 feet in width, with &t least an asphalt or oiled surface. Roseburg's runway is almost 1,000 feet longer than required, but is only 350 feet wide, and is surfaced with gravel. Regulations further require a specific glide angle on ap proaches to the field, and these angles cannot be obtained without lowering hilltops at both the north and south ends of the port. To bring the airport up to Class III standards, state aero nautical engineers report, would cost approximately $400, 000. A Class III rating would be about all the field could ever hope to obtain, and, if a still higher standard should be set, as probably will result in the near future, money used to improve the present field would be wasted. On the other hand, a site, approved by the CAA is obtain able and would be capable of eventual development into a port capable of handling any type of aircraft. To buy the land, excavate and grade, construct runways, drainage sys tem, erect hangars, administration building, workshops, etc., would cost well in excess of $1,000,000. Federal and state aid perhaps could' be secured, limiting local participation to a half million dollars or more. It would seem more logical, therefore, to spend a half million on a new site, capable of future expansion, than to invest $400,000 on a field which probably would be aban doncd within the next 10 years. But several questions must be raised when considering the subject : How are we to raise the money? Is -the construction of an airport a problem for the City of Roseburg alone, or should Douglas County as a whole participate? Is tho establishment of feeder airline service ot sullicient importance to justify the proposed expenditure? Could the nioney required for airport improvement be used to better advantage serving a larger number of people if iilneed in "other tvnes of projects such as parks, Play groumlH, shimming pool, civic center, drainage? system, etc;? West Coast" Airlines will serve 25 towns between Belling ham, Wash., and Medford, Ore. Only three of the towns on the projected route have airports falling below Class III standards. These fields are at Port Townsend, Wash. ; Grants Pass, Ore., and Roseburg. Each of these three localities has the same problem, that of building an airport in an exceed- inelv rough and hilly country, where sites are few and costly Other areas, having available large acreages of level land, much of it sub-marginal in character, have been able to ob tain land more cheaply and to make improvements at lesser cost. Some also have been much more- definitely avtution minded than our own citizens. The problem is here and determination cannot be long delayed. We must make up our minds whether we. want air line service enough to pay the cost; whether the value of avia tion in our future civic development is greater than the ex pense. We must, if we want an airport, find ways and means of paying for the same, and we must determine who is to pay the bill. We also must decide whether we can use our money to better advantage in some other direction. It is something to think about. County German prisoners of war while engaged In farm work In Mal heur countv from May 1 to Juno IS. added $130,184.40 to the United States treasury balance as thev blocked and thinned or ' hn..H 13.M5 acres of the total 22.000-acrn sugar beet crop In that section, announces J.

Work by prisoner groups was hailed June 15 when the War ixv ' partment ordered preparation for returning the men to Germany. During the six weeks period In which the German prisoners were working In Malheur county, ' they amassed a total of 28,957 man duvs of labor. High mark in numbers of prisoners engaged In farm work was b!M, bcck states. Approximately 300 farm ir in the Malheur region bone filed from nrisoner work. In addition to the acreage of sugar beets blocked and thinned the prisoners worked in 234 acres of onions and 97 acres of other m seel aneous crops. Farmers paid the prevailing wage rate for all prisoner of war labor, Beck explains. The pris oners themselves were allowed to keep 80 cents per day; the ' remainder of their wages going to the U. S. treasury. Tha pris nnpt-s werp allowed to keen a . total of $23,165.60 from their '. earnings.
