Frank, blunt talk by men who

THIS writer should apologize for
putting such stuff as this into
a column, which is supposed to
contain light reading for the en

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

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

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

could find enough SINCERE men
who are ready to back that pro

IT, and not Just as a scheme to
GET ELECTED, the Republican
party could have a walkaway this

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.

Roseburg's Templin Street

Dr. E. J. Wainscott, county
health officer, condemned the

Because of the danger of nolio,
and the reported cases of ring

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

Just saying a thing is so doesn't make it so.
Wa know that.
Occasionally somebody will question our right to call ourselves the
friendly Southern Pacific.
"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. We'll be glad to
