ROSEBURS" NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG', OREGON. TUESDAY, raKUATtY XI. 1748
SEVEN
steelhead over 20 Inches must be
counted in the aggregate.
The Game Commission has not
allowed in its tentative regula
tions requests for a winter limit
on tiout. Efforts were made at
the healing in Portland Jan. 9 to
secure authority for an "inciden
tal" trout catch by steelhead fish
ermen and failure of the commis
sion to include a daily limit, as re
quired, is accepted by anglers as
a denial. Further argument may
be presented when the commis
sion meets again to make its reg
ulations final.
Proposed Changes in Angling
Regulations Will Affect Both
North. South Umpqua Rivers
Trout fishermen on the Umpqua River will have an opening date
May 1, with closure Oct. 31, if tentative rules promulgated by the

ing with a ti-inch limit from Sep
tember 1 to Oct. 31.

31 in all waters not specifically
closed, except that the South
Umpqua river, exclusive of tribu
taries, will be open to steelhead

Compensation
Claims Reach New
igh in December
With nearly double the num
ber of unemployed people report
ing for unemployment compensa
tion claims over November, a
high point was reached in claims
payments for Douglas County
during December, according to
the monthly labor market bulle
tin released today bv the Oregon
State Employment Service in
Roseburg.
"The last two weeks In the year
brought a decided change in the
employment picture of the coun
ty, the bulletin states. "Many
operations closed down to give
their employes a Christmas va
cation and to make a few repairs
necessitated by continuous opera
tion. "This situation will take care
of itself shortlv after the first
of the year by the return of the
majority of these people to their
Jobs. Snow, in the higher regions,
has curtailed some of the logging,
but there have been no far reach
ing effects.
" "The only apparent shortages
in this area at this time are in the
clerical, sales, and service fields.
This is particularly true with re
gard to stenographers, bookkeep
ers, typists, etc."
There was a sharp reduction of
applicants from outside areas
visiting the emolovment office
during December. This was large
ly aue 10 tne noitaay season, the
bulletin states. From 372 appli
cants during November, the total
dropped to 2t7 during December.
Job Chances Decreased
Opportunities for employment
likewise remained at a low level.
Ac the end of December, there
were but 47 unfilled openings
listed at the employment ottice,
with more than half in the cleri
cal and service fields.
While the December total of
employed people in 30 non-manufacturing
establishments contact
ed showed a slight increase, it Is
expected that there will be a de
crease during January. This is be
cause of the release of many
workers In the retail trade field.
It is believed the over-all em
ployment total will generally in
crease in January. The basis for
this observation, the bulletin
states, being the return to nor
mal operating schedules In the
lumner industry.
While 85 new vetpmn annllefl.
tlons for work were taken, there
were no notices received to the
effect that men from this area
had been dischared from the
service, the report continues.
"The workers available In this
area are more than enough to fill
the nepds of the industry, gener
ally speaking. The high level of
unemployment Is exnected to con
tinue through January.
"There has been no noticeable
nmerenee in the housing situa.

U.S. Neglect Of
Education Spells
Grave Recession
By JAMES R. THRASHER
It didn't make big headlines. It
wasn't as dramatic as the stories
on grain speculation, aid to Eu
rope, or anti-inflation legislation.
Yet the first two reports of the
President's Commission on High
er Education may prove, 10 years
hence, to have been the most im
portant stories of the lot.
Americans are accustomed to
think that they are not only the
most properous and best fed peo
ple on earth, but also the best ed

much more than considerably
more.
The war highlighted and aggra
vated a condition that has been
developing for some time. The
President's comml: .ion called fur
ther attention to It, but tlie reve
lation has been coming along,
piecemeal, for some time.
Only recently a careful study
showed that the great state of
New York had a sorry record in
the matter of education.

tremendous sum of money. It
would also Inject the federal gov

system, even though indirectly.
All this guarantees the plan a
loud, long and vigorous opposi

remain for all to see. It has been
clear for some time that the coun
try would one day have to face
the consequences of indifferen:e
and lack of equal opportunity In
its educational system. After long
study, the President's commission
presented the facts as it saw
them.
No nation can be healthy and

putting its best minds to good

Now we must somehow start to
give those same opportunities to
all who can take good advanta ge
of them, for the sake of thuir
country as well as themselves.
