JUNIOR FIRST CITIZEN By CHARLES V, STANTON Selection of Bijl Black as Roscburg's Junior First Citizen for 1947, as announced Friday night at the annual award banquet sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, was, to our mind, a most fitting' choice. Thousands of people have been pleased and thrilled by the Knights of Pythias Girls Drum Corps. Few cities can boast a better looking, better behaved or more proficient drum corps than has represented Roseburg upon numerous occasions. But while watching the girls on parade or in exhibitions, either at home or in the various cities where they have been welcomed, few people have realized that this organization is in existence only because of the single-handed efforts of Bill Black. Billy has always liked drums. He has been playing drums since his hands would hold the sticks. He has played in drum corps, bands and orchestras. When it appeared the Junior Drum Corps would fold up for lack of a leader, Billy took over. By sheer persuasive force he kept up membership. He enlisted new recruits. When sponsorship failed, he rang door bells and hounded leaders until he literally drove the Knights of Pythias lodge into assuming the sponsor role an action it has never re gretted. He has paid out of his own pocket for repair of instruments and for new equipment During the past year he organized and sustained a campaign in which funds were raised for new uniforms. Being a lover of rhythm, Billy has insisted upon perfec tion. He is a hard drillmastcr. He is a strict disciplinarian. His practice sessions are models of organization and leader ship. His enthusiasm is contagious, so that, despite the disci pline and hard work, girls are eager candidates for the drum corps. Once accepted, however, they must conform to all rules or they are promptly replaced. Due to age limitations, there is a rapid turnover in mem bership, so that Billy's training, his enthusiasm and his love of music have been directed into lessons in teamwork, disci pline, harmony and civic activity in the lives of more than 300 girls. Bill Black has made a very distinct contribution to the general welfare of the City of Roseburg. Under his leader ship the Knights of Pythias Girls Drum Corps has made its mark throughout Oregon as a Roseburg institution, bringing praise and credit to the community. The award for First Citizen is made not on a basis of position but upon the basis of service to the community. No one, in our opinion, is more deserving of the great honor than Bill Black. Celebrating a Birthday More than 2,120,000 boys in the United States are cele brating birthdays this week. That seems a lot of birthdays for one seven-day period. But these boys are not celebrating their personal anniversaries, but are joining in observance of the 38th birthday of the Boy Scouts of America. The organization was incorporated in Washington, D. C, Feb. 8, 1910. It was granted a federal charter June 15, 1916. During the 38 years of organization more than 14,000,000 men and boys have had Scout training. Today the Scouts are organized in 42 nations, and number in all 4,409,780 members. Scout Week began Feb. C and will continue through Feb. 12 America's largest birthday celebration. The theme of Boy Scout Week this year is, "The Scout Citizen at work in his home in his community in his nation in his world." The nation's Boy Scouts are engaged in a program of saving and producing food to alleviate the world's food shortage. As a part of the 19-M service program each Scout is expected to "save a bushel, grow a bushel, share a bushel" of food. In addition to conserving food and natural resources, Scouts will emphasize safety and fire prevention, home re pairs and personal health. Through their World Friendship Fund of voluntary gifts, Scouts have sent more than 3,000 tons of supplies to help Scout organizations overseas to rebuild. This aid is to be continued through 1948. The Boys Scouts of America deserve a nation's gratitude, along with its congratulations. Community Type Hospital Benefit Topic at Forum Franklin Smith, manacrer of the Josephine County (ieneral Hospital. Seaking at the R.wp hurg Chamber of Commerce forum lunrheon Monday on the suhtcct, "How a community hos pital can he A saving to the citi zens of a community." said thnt money derived from the city's in dustries put into a rommunity hospital would be well spent. "There Is ciTt.ilnly nothing easy about constructing a hospi tal or stipiKirtlng It," he said, but added that If It were run in a businesslike manner, the monev received frnm services would fi nance the upkeep. Smith statel that one advan ei of a rommunity hospital is that the management Is not ohll. gated to make a pirtfit. and therefore is able to revert the in plus into Improvements. "We can ami do get good equipment." he asserted, referring to the hos pital In .tiwephlne county, and added that Sso.nfH) has been spent (nr equipment during the last 2) years. "We five medical service first and worry about finances after- nsrds." he said. Smith contended that one of the best ways of fi nancing medical care Is by a pre paid service plan, now used In Josephine county. Another way, he explained, la by a load con cern directed bv the hospital, which has worked out well la Pittsburgh, Ta. A general hospital must con tain an obstetrical ward, an J t.un an ohsetrical wsrd, an X surgery detriments. Smith stat ed. Again stressing the importance of good administration, Smith pointed to the necessity of a rep resentative board of directors and an individual manager. G.M.

GOP President Needed Senator Cain Declares OKLAHOMA CITY. Feb. 10. tjpy Sen. Harry P. Cain (R.- wash.) today pushed on to rw lo, Colo., for another Republican Lincoln Day speech. He left behind him a descrip tion of the Democratic party that used the words "tired, cynical and decadent." Cain is a former mayor of Ta- coma, a wartime officer, and the freshman senator from Washing ton state. He t.-lked to Oklahoma Repu- licans here last night at their Lincoln Day banquet, and said a Republican president is needed In the WTUte House. "The present administration has assumed the role of a sprawl ing, tired, cynical, decadent and power-grasping bureaucracy," he said. "In my opinion we need to clean house in Washington and this can only be done through election of a Republican presi dent." Cain declared he wanted to see a rousing ca' naign, with people getting behi:.". both parties. "I want t.u-m to choose sides," he said. "I wai t the new admin istration whaKser It Is, to bene fit from a great surge of public approval." Cain described the Democrats ps a mixture of liberals, pseudo liherals, and conservatives, and the Republicans as basically con servative. Annual Dads' Day Weekend Program Set at Oregon U.

A dozen fo0 businessmen believe the peak of business activity has been reached, if not already passed. But their fwo-fold prediction to government experts a week be fore the market break that (a) inflationary dangers are fading and (bt a price downturn is ahead1 still draws a don't-be-too-sure reaction from at laest one federal economist. The views of the corporation executives were outlined at the first of a series of six meetings suggested by the government. These are being arranged by Prentiss Coonley and Ernest A. Tupper, private business consult ants. ReDortini on the first session, Coonley and Tupper said one Big farm machinery company fore cast a general price drop "after the middle ol the year." utners In the group represented rail roads. Insurance, banking, mer chandising and food processing. They predicted factory building will decline from 1947 Dut nome building will hold u- as costs de cline. The government economist who discussed the meeting with the understanding he would not be quoted by name commented: "Much of what these business men sav is frue. we may be clos er to the catching up period than general price trends have indi cated. But the inflationary cur rent still is very strong." Psychology Changing Coonley and Tupper described the session as evidence! of a "changing business psychology." Thev attributed last week's break in stock, bond and commodity prices to a "growing public awareness" of fhls change. In holding that inflationary dangers are lessening, the busi ness leaders cited these trends and views in support of their po sition: Business firm are buying cau tiously; merchants eight months ago stopped amassing stocks In anticipation of price rises. In an "ever-crowing" number of cases, prices are reflecting supplies equal to, or greater than, demand. European crop prospects appeaT good. This should balance off U. S. shortages. But adoption of the full Marshall plan will hold food prices up. There are "definite evidences" that labor unions wish to coope rate with management In avoid ing further increase in costs. Mississippi Solons Demand Revolt Of Dixie Democrats JACKSON, Miss.. Feb. 10. 7P Mississippi legislators, beating the drums of revolt, have called for a grass-roots uprising against the Democratic high command. By such action the legislators hope to drive home their opposi tion to "anti-Southern" legislative proposals. Within hours of a memorial service yesterday to the late Sena tor Theodore G. Bilbo, exponent of white supremacy, the House of Representatives urged an early meeting of Southern Democrats. The resolution by the House was directed to Gov. Fielding L. Wright and now goes to the isen ate. In the resolution the represen tatives scored the "dilatory" tac tics of a malority of Southern governors attending a conference in Tallahassee. Fla., last week end. The governors voted to delay for 40 days any action on a reso lution Introduced by Gov. Wright calling for a convention of South ern Democrats. Hills Combed For Girl's Murderer BEAUMONT, Calif., Feb. 10 (F Possemen using walkie-talkie radio beat through the brush of the San Gorgonio hills today in a search they hoped was closing in on the holdup klller of pretty Marjorie Winn, 17, Redlands high school girl.
