Thi Is no time for a rush act. ... IN Essen (center of the German I coal-steel industry) 4,000 Ger man coal miners strike In pro test against short food rations. The strike is accomnied by much angry demonstrating. This strike of German coal min ers shows us plainly what hungry people will do. The strikers know they could all be shot down. They aren't free workers in a free de mocracy. They are CONQUERED ENEMIES. Their lives are in pawn. But they are so desperate with hunger that they don't care. rHAT has happened over and over In the world. When peo ple get just so hungry and hope less, they don't care much what happens to them. They feel that . their situation Is so bad that it couldn't get much worse. Hunger is the result of LACK OK PRODUCTION of food. Cold (meaning cold peoplel results from lack of production of luel and shelter and clothing. In this modern world, lack of prodtictlun of things upsets near ly everything. Until we get back to something like full production, there will be nothing but grief and trouble on every side. , ENGLAND'S cold and hungry people (cold and hungry be cause of lack of sufficient produc tion of things) get a great thrill. In i chase, and the mud of the gloomiest English spring in recent memory. Caughoo, a long-shot Irish horse, comes up from behind to win by 20 lengths. It was a thrill, of course, for all the spectators, but it was an especial thrill for the few who held tickets on the win ner. Each two-shilling (10 cent) ticket on Caughoo paid 88901 POUNDS l$Xv!Wi. PROOF BY EXPERIENCE By CHARLES V. STANTON i The Umpqua Kiver fish bill apparently has hurdled the last difficult obstacle and i.s on its way to the. Governor for his official approval. We believe this measure will prove one of the most im portant acts of the current session of the state legislature, insofar as legislative action affecte the Umpqua valley ex clusively. It is our opinion that development of the Umqua River as a recreational resource will bring millions of dollars an nually into the area to benefit everyone. We cannot expect immediate realization of this condition, as it will be neces sary to Rpend from 10 to 20 years rehabilitating the stream, overcoming destruction resulting from over-intensity of fishing, as well as numerous other causes of the decline in fish life. Hut if we are successful in conservation efforts, the Umpqua River can become one of our most important sources of revenue. In the last stage of the legislative battle the Reedsport Chamber of Commerce telegraphed its opposition to every state representative. We recall how in 19:i5 the communities of Gold Beach and Wedderburn fought bitterly against closure of the Rogue Kiver to commercial fishing. But only two years ago, when a move to reopen the Rogue to net fishing was rumored, the Chamber of Commerce represent ing those two communities, both of which grew and pros pered immediately as a result of the river closure, printed and distributed pamphlets, letters and varied literature and organized a vigorous lobby to prevent reopening the river to nets. We believe our good friends at Reedsport will benefit as did residents of Gold Beach and Wedderburn and that when the Umpqua closure ends January 1, 19?,, the Reedsport community will be the strongest opponent to any effort to restore commercial fishing. We are not at all worried by the six-year limitation on the Umpqua bill, for we believe that during the coming .six years the State of Oregon will become sufficiently aware of the value of its recreational fishery resource to prevent reactionary legislation with regard to the Umpqua. Passage of the Umpqua River bill was not accomplished easily. Members of the Douglas County delegation in the state legislature deserve the greatest credit for an outstand ing example of teamwork and brilliant, aggressive labor. Senator Thomas Parkinson achieved a legislative rarity when, by dint of his personal "missionary" work among members of the upper house, he secured a UNANIMOUS vote. It is seldom that ANY measure parses with a unani mous vote and it is especially unusual to secure such record support for a bill with the controversial potentials of the Umpqua River closure. Representative Carl Hill led the battle In the House w here desperate efforts were made by the opiisition to beat the measure. Officers of fishermen's Ialor unions maintained a hard-working lobby. Commercial fishing interest and repre sentatives of the State Fish Commission opposed the bill in committee hearings. Lacking from the opposition forces, however, was the cannery organization, which heretofore has taken an active part against any fish conservation program. Every trick and deceit of legislative procedure was used to delay and beat tl)e bill, but all were met and overcome by .noiinmgsi ge. a gr. . ........ , K,M,rc8,.ntillivo jml Htu miinv f lis conservation-minded In the Grand National steeple-. ' .... . , ., , lase, at Alntree, run in the rain I colleagues, and Representative Robert Gilo, w ho, while bear ing one of the most exhausting Jobs in the legislature as chair man of the committee on Assessment and Taxation, never theless took much time to help push the Umpqua River bill through the House. Wo arc assuming that the Senate will approve minor amendments passed in the House and that the Governor will sign the bill. If these remaining hurdles arc negotiated, we predict that experience of the next -0 years, providing we succeed in keeping the river closed to net fi.shing for salmon and steelhead, will prove, through millions of dollars of revenue, the value of the prolonged legislative battle and the wisdom of legislative decision.

It's no April Fool's joke -donkey basketball will be played tonight at H o'clock at Koseburg High School gym despite yester day's erroneous announcement that Ihe high school faculty would square off with Douglas County's Posse last night. According to Mel Ingrain, spokesman for the teachers' quin tet, a capacity crowd is antici pated for tonight's basketball fun fest. due to Ihe great turnout last night on the misinformation ol a sportwritcr. With slanderous ac cusations. Ingram rejiorts the faculty is more teeed up for to night's fray than ever and are out to "really ride herd on the Sheriff's cowhands." Actually the Sheriff's Posse, led by Si Diilard. have much more to lose in the game's outcome. Sheriff O. T. Carter stated last week that a loss for the posse means they lead their horse and walk In their big annual rodeo parade June 21. Coach Homer Grow, busily mentoring the teachers in the art of balancing their equilibrium on a makeshift home-made donkey, yesterday simply stated "We're ready lor those mule-skinners." Proceeds from tonight's eourt-f-sl will be used for further financing high school spring sports. states of Idaho, Montana, Ore gon, and Washington.
