"No," the citizen answered.

THE news wires toll us that Fin

It usually works that way.
ARGENTINA, we read, Is buy

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.

Franklin Smith, manacrer of
the Josephine County (ieneral

forum lunrheon Monday on the
suhtcct, "How a community hos

money derived from the city's in

"There Is ciTt.ilnly nothing
easy about constructing a hospi

added that If It were run in a
businesslike manner, the monev

Smith statel that one advan

that the management Is not ohll.

therefore is able to revert the

"We five medical service first

that one of the best ways of fi

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

Inflationary
Danger Not Yet
Passed, Warning
Washington, Feb. io-.?
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.
