After all, the only hope of. peace remaining In United Nations t tn hrlnir the Dower ol world opinion to bear on Russia. It may be a slim hope, but u it is to pe realized there must be plain blunt speaking of men's minds. m IN the background of all this is thi. ATOM BOMB, of whose latest test at Bikini the Joint chiefs of staff evaluation nonra "These contaminated ships (contaminated by radioactive water thrnwn un hv the bomb) became radioactive STOVES, and would have BURNED ALL. LIV ING THINGS aboard them with invisible and plalnless, but DEADLY, radiation." THIS writer should apologize for putting such stuff as this into a column, which is supposed to contain light reading for the en tertainment of the paying sub icrlbeis. It Is quite obvious that people In these postwar days don't LIKE tuch subjects. They are hard to Understand. It mukes our heads ache to TRY to understand them. We prefer to ESCAPE from them. Still ,you OWE It to yourself as a duty of citizenship in a free republic to make an honest effort to understand these serious and nnrtentoua thlncs. When you shrug them off and turn to the Helrcns confession, black "Father" Devlne's new white bride (whom, he claims, he has "made the same as the Virgin Mary") and the latest murder shocker, you are shirking your duties as a citizen. That Is the blunt long and short of it. WHAT is wrong with democracy (where anything IS wrong with It) Is that too many citizens SHIRK the things that require hard study and careful, Impartial, painstaking thought. IT was announced liy the Vet erans Adminlstlon the other day that there are now 17,000,000 EX-GIs In the United States. All are within the VOTING ages. Most of them are married -and wives SOMETIMES vote as their husbands vote. SEVENTEEN MILLION votes will control ANY election in this country, Ex GIs have hud a pecu liarly significant training In the meaning of democracy. They have FOUGHT for It. What you fight for, you usually value. What a responsibility rests upon GI shoulders In these com ing years of the American re public! IN COEUR d'AIene, Idaho, J. Carroll Reece, national chair man of the Republican party, told a breakfast meeting that a Republican-dominated congress will promote these policies: "Drastic reduction of bureau cracy, early end of unjustifiable controls on production and dis tribution, opportunities for em ployment at good wages for vet erans, protection of state and local government, immediate re duction of Individual Income taxes and an end to DEFICIT spend ing." If (as the party's leader) he could find enough SINCERE men who are ready to back that pro cram because they BELIEVE IN IT, and not Just as a scheme to GET ELECTED, the Republican party could have a walkaway this fall. Never before In our history were average, everyday, common A BETTER SPORTS PROGRAM By CHARLES V. STANTON Douglas County's industrial and business growth has been so rapid and extensive that it has largely obscured in the public eye advances in the field of sports and recreation. We have expressed our opinion previously that a good sports town is always a good business town. We also hold to the theory that if the City of Roseburg proposes to hold Its place as the county's wholesale and retail trading center it must, in addition to its business activities, encourage im proved recreational facilities and support athletic programs. Publicity gained for the City of Medford by its high school football team has been worth many thousands of dollars to the business interests of that city. But Medford's enviable reputation in high school football has not been achieved without a large measure of financial support from business interests. Aside from an occasional reluctant store closing for an opening football game, Roseburg business firms have not shown much interest in high school athletics in past years. The athletic department in our school system is critically understaffed. We should have a coaching staff large enough to conduct an organized program throughout our elementary schools as well as our high schools. The action of the school board in furnishing an assistant coach for the forthcoming season will be a forward step in advancing our athletic pro gram. But public interest and In general, we have made in the sports and recreation field during the past few months We have had a good season recreation program, with its numerous schedules in various types of athletics, entertainment for young people, hobby classes, park and playground activities, supervised swim ming, athletic contests, baseball, softball, etc. A start has been made in developing the Rose School playground. Much work needs to be done in building more and better play ground facilities. Roseburg has the best baseball team it has known for vears. The Umpqua Chiefs, gon League, have given fans very high caliber baseball. The team is deserving of greater public support. If we are to continue Southern Oregon League play in future years, wo will need extensive improvements to our baseball dia mond. We should have covered night games. Douglas County had an interesting and successful part in American Legion Junior baseball during the past season. Drain, Oakland-Sutherlin, Myrtle Creek and Roseburg sup ported teams. Although our team lost to Eugene in the semi finals of the state championship round, the defeat was no reflection on the ability of the players. The team would un doubtedly have made a much better showing had it not been for poor scheduling of games. Revived interest in Legion sponsored baseball should furnish incentive for a large num ber of youthful prospects throughout the country in future years. . Roseburg has maintained an excellent softball league throughout the summer season. Twice-weekly games have furnishiW entertainment for large crowds of partisan fans. Presence of good baseball and softball teams has resulted in several well-received contests with traveling professional squads. The Sheriff's Posse staged u most successful rodeo and already is at work on a bigger and better show for next year. The Roseburg Country Club has enjoyed increased ac tivity. The Roseburg Rod and Gun Club has acquired a large recreational tract at Winchester and is planning a develop ment which will bo one of the largest and best in Oregon, outside of the City of Portland. Our bowling alleys have been moved to a new location, enlarged, and supplemental recreational facilities installed. We have turfed our high school football field. Several new night spots have been constructed and put in operation by private interests during late months. All of these factors enter into an expanded sports, recrea tion and entertainment program, which, in our opinion, is of great importance in complementing our industrial and business growth.

Klamath Indians Deny Attack on Fremont Party KLAMATH FALLS, Ore., Auff 12 (Pi The Klamath Indians took issue today with an Indian White battle of 18-1(1. declaring records maligned the peaceful character of the Klamath tribe. In a letter to a local news paper, a Klamath spokesman said the report that Explorer John C. Fremont, Scout Kit Carson, and the California-bound party were attacked by Klamaths was unt rue. Perhaps, wrote Clayton Kirk, It might have been Rogue River or Shasta Indians who launched an attack on the shore of Klam ath Lake and killed three of the Fremont party. Rut the Klamath Indians, said Kirk, "never par ticipated in any depreciations on the whites." "Quotations from Fremont's memoirs are very inconsistent and mar the reputation of the Klamath Indians," Kirk said. The matter arose in connection with the approaching centennial of the establishment of an im migrant trail through here. Oregon's Highway Debt . Nearing End, Snell Says SALEM. Ore..

Rut not all of the work can be dime because of shortages of materials and building restrictions.

Dr. Wainscott said today that the river is contaminated from Canyonville down, and "very much so" from Myrtle Creek downstream toward Roseburg. H. W.

"How can you say that," he'll ask, "when one of your ticket agents practically barked at me once?" Well, one swallow doesn't mako a summer, and when you havo 90,000 people running a railroad, you're bound to have soma n.uick tempers and cases of stomach ulcers among them. We wouldn't be human if we didn't slip up once in a while, even though we try very hard to prevent slips. We call ourselves a friendly railroad becaus3 you seldom see a Southern Pacific engineer who doesn't wave at folks, or a conductor who doesn't like to pat children on the head and give them a fist-full of discarded seat checks to play with. Or a Southern Pacific man or woman who won't go out of his or her way to perform an act of human kindness above and beyond the call of duty. Incidentally, if you're planning a trip anywhere, our service is much faster and better, even, than it was before the war.
