STANTON Our provincial pride has again been offended. It seems that Roseburg is never given deserved recognition or credit. Other cities have no trouble making headlines, but no one seems to know that Roseburg exists, even though we now have official standing as the Medford lays claim to our Falls boasts of taking our (Friendly) puts us on a sidetrack and lists us in small type, even leaving us off some of its maps. The State Highway Commission bypasses our need for improvements to bottle necks north and south of town and lists us as about the last spot on the whole Pacific Highway system to benefit from the reconstruction program. Guide, distributed to all Portland hotel rooms, contains a mileage chart which lists virtually every town in Oregon except Roseburg. Thus we have been and arc ignored, slighted and robbed of rightful recognition. But now comes the crowning insult. If we did not know Marshall Dana as we do, having had through his efforts as editor of the editorial page of the Oregon Journal much help and many courtesies in dealing with civic problems, we would accuse him of prejudice. But we are confident his acts were without malice and were based purely upon misinformation. Other cities, too, have felt the slight, and are protesting bitterly against what must, be only unintentional discrimination. The Oregon Journal placed itself in this unenviable posi tion by nominating the city of North Bend as the "jaywalk ingest city in Oregon." The Dalles and Medford immediately challenged the nomination and claimed the title for their own communities. Now, The Journal has the temerity to announce that "it begins to look as if the competition is closed and North Bend is the undisputed winner." Hold, Marshall I Roseburg is not to be ignored in this high-handed manner! Let no one claim superiority to Rose burg in the matter of jaywalking. North Bend we will admit may have a moderate propor tion of jaywalkers. Ib is true that the city has posted en trance signs proclaiming the municipality to be the "Jay walkingest City in Oregon." We agree that The Dalles can not be considered a logical contender because motorists and pedestrians alike get bo wobbly from driving the curves of the Columbia Higway that reeling and veering off at tan gents finally becomes habitual with residents and the visitor alike, so it becomes impossible to reach a classification of true jay walking, as contrasted with blind staggers. We must doubly challenge Medford, not only for claiming the jaywalking title, but also for claiming to be "the coffee drinkingest town west of the Mississippi," a statement found In a recent issue of the Medford Mail Tribune which says: "We would, Indeed, be remiss In our clvio duty if we failed ..,to speak forth In behalf of Medford In this momentous con - troversy. Being the coffee-drlnklngest town west of the Mis sissippi, we are naturally the Jaywalklngest place certainly as far as Oregon - is concerned. Dexterous citizens here, when headed for the nearest coffee shop, can cross ' main street between Intersections with more agility than an All-American halfback running through a broken field In a Rose Bowl Game." Coffee drinkers, indeed! Why, a puny eighth grader from this land of tho Paul Bunyans, where our restaurants use locomotive boilers to brew coffee for the trade, could whip those effete Mcdfordites and never crook a little finger. Imagine, if you please, North Bend, The Dalles or Med ford disputing Roseburg's right to the jaywalking cham pionship. This, sir, is a land of rugged individualism. Is it to be thought for one moment that our population, trained in the Great Outdoors, where nnui walk iii unrestrained freedom on virgin paths beneath a canopy of stalwart firs, will waste footsteps in trekking to the pedestrian lane? Can one imagine that our men of profession and business, pressed by over whelming duties imposed by continuing immigration of new population and the prosperity of Oregon's leading boom town, have time to seek a crosswalk as they dash regularly upon the hour, and frequently between times, for the cup of steaming Java which is almost tho sole source of nourish ment for some? IiCt's hear no more about this matter. It is obvious that in the pure and unadulterated art and practice of jaywalk ing there is no place w hich can begin to compare with Rose burg Simply because wc have heretofore failed to toot our own horn is not sufficient excuse for the oversight. We'll admit we've been sidetracked by the "Friendly" S.P. We know we've been left off a lot of maps. We realize we haven't been pushing ourselves forward in the society of municipali-j tics our roads are too bad lor our neighbors. But, brother, don't think the people of Rose burg aren't artists at jaywalking! Until you've seen the way people jaywalk in Koseburg, you ain't scon nothin'. Federal Service Rapped by Judge In Citizenship Case SAN FRANCISCO, April 6. Mi- A 2i year-old boy was grant ed V. S. citizenship yesterday by a federal Judge who took a sharp lash at the U. S. Immigration service. "It's about time," said Judge Michael J. Roche, "that the hu man side of these cases got some attention in this court." Two years ago in Edmonton, Alta., Canada, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron M. I'nilerkof tier, now of Albanv, Calif., adopted little Gregory and brought him here. They thought that made him a citizen of the united Mates. Im migration authorities said no. Last Juno the I'mlrrknfflers formally re-adopted him. Immi gration 'said that wasn't any good either: hat the foster parents would have to re-adopt him all over again after he had eben in their custody for two years. Undei koffler appealed to Judge timber capital of the world own Diamond Lake. Klamath timber. The Southern Pacific The Portland Entertainment much social visitation witn Roche who overruled the Immi gallon service. Mentioning Canada. Judge Roche commented without elab oration: "It won't bo long before this is all one country." Later, talking with reporters, Judge Roche said that in com menting on the "one country" possibility, he had in mind the "community of interest" between Canada and the I'nlted States. He considered it only a question of itme before the two would be united politically.

Schools of North Douglas Ready For Baseball Opening Weather permitting, northern Douglas County's Hieh School Baseball B league will open its season this Friday with Yoncalla playing at Sutherlin and Oakland at Drain. Elkton, the fifth mem ber in the league will draw a bye me ujjumiig uau. The schedule calls for girls' softball games, five innings, to start at 1:30 P. M. as a prelude to the boys' regulation baseball seven-inning contests. By mutual agree ment between individual schools playing dates may re adjusted, and the place for the game reversed to the others ball field, if one school's ball diamond Is in better playing condition than the other. LeRoy Hanson, Yoncalla prin cipal and league secretary, an nounces that trophies have been obtained for winners In both boys and girls contests. The win ner Is slated to compete in the Southern Oregon district cham pionship, and the district champ is to enter the state play. A split in the county hns been made for baseball, with Roseburg as dividing line. The northern boys' teams will play hard base ball, but the southern division teams, including Canyonvllle, Riddle and Days Creek, with Glendalc and Camas Valley as possible entries, win play only boys' and girls' Softball. Further information on the southern league will be announced later. Myrtle Creek, last year's coun ty "B" champion, Is now playing A league competition. Drain took second place in the league last year, and Yoncalla fhird. Yon calla's girls team was last vear's champ, and Days Creek won the boys sottoau tropny.

Umpqua Chiefs Hot To Participate In State League That the Roseburg Chiefs would not enter the State Base ball League was decided follow ing a meeting Sunday at Albany attneded by H. W. Sanders, rep resenting itoseourg sponsors. The State League is not well organized, and tentative playing dates would conflict too strongly with the Southern Oregon Lea gue, in wnicn Koseourg is sched uled to play. Only Dend, Salem, Albany, Portrland and Roseburg were rep resented, said banners. 1 ravel dis tance between the towns was considered too great. Prepara tions may be made, however, for an entry into the league next year, if conditions Justify, he said. At a meeting in Medford to complete details for the South ern Oregon schedule, it was vot ed that no representatives of the teams entered in the play could hold office, rejmrted Elmo'rc 1 1111, Umpqua Chiefs' manager. As a result it was necessary for the delegates to choose a new president and vice-president. Don Iledgepath of Grants Pass, was elected president, succeeding nir. iionord oi Lentrai r'olnt. Hill said that an effort Is be ing made to line up some exhibi tion matches between the local ball club and touring teams, such as the Harlem Globe Trotters or the Hawaiian All-Stars. A tenta tive date for one of these games would be June 23. Nancy Merki, Swim Star, Weds North Carolinan DAYTON A BEACH, Fla.. April ti LIT Nancy Merkl. national swim star from Poll land..

Mat OSa ' r "c5ay Auam - "Edgar's a big distributor, lie distributes a piece of his mind every place he goes!" Graziano Not Up To Top Form in Defeating Home By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON, April 6. (IP) If there's anything that Middle weight Champion Rocky Gra ziano doesn't need, it's a rest cure. He showed that last night as he defeated Sonny Home of Valley Stream, L. I., in a non-title bout that went the full 10 rounds. He also showed that he will need plenty of work if he expects to defend his title successfully against Tony Zale on June 9, probably in Newark. Graziano is famed for his knockout punch. It was complete ly unemployed last night. Repeat edly Graziano swung, and repeat edly he missed, sometimes by as much as six inches. Yet so powerful is Graziano a stocky little character with the muscles of a 250-pounder that his glancing blows did more dam age than the straight ones, from At the end Home had bad cuts over both eyes, and looked tuck ered out. Graziano didn't have a mark on him, and looked as if he was ready to fan Home for another 10 rounds. The Judges all voted for Gra ziano, but many of the 5,181 cus tomers Dooca wnen tne decision was announced. Graziano. who at 160 weighed a pound less than Home, pretty wen summed up tne situation in the dressing room after the fight. "I needed this one," he said. "If they don't ban me out of the ring, they'll rust me out." lie was referring, of course, to the fact that he hasn't fought since he won the title from Zale last summer. New York has banned him be cause he failed to mention that someone tried to bribe him. Illi nois and 13 other states have bar red him because he once wan dered off from the Army without bothering to ask the Army's con sent. So put Graziano's troubles down as rust. After all, he won. So did the National Infantile Paralysis Fund. It will get Gra ziano's share round $10,000 of the $34,737.92 gate. This was sup posed to be the clinching proof of what a good boy the Rock has become.

The exhibition is free and the public is invited to attend. Spectacular shooting with rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers and safety practices in the han dling of firearms are stressed bv the Llnds throughout their ex hibition. In addition, the Llnds will answer anv questions and dis cuss shooting problems with mem bers of the audience following their exhibition. Dot Lind, a pretty 120-pounder, shooting -at aerial targets with single and double barrel shot guns, shows how, with patience and practice, a woman can easily handle the heaviest shotguns. Ernie Lind matches any Western film performer with his exciting demonstrations of the "quick draw" with one and with two revolvers. Targets as tiny as aspirin tab lets and moth balls disappear be fore bullets from Dot Lind's Model 52 target rifle, which she also uses to sDlit a playing card from edge to edge. Four flying aerial targets become merely puffs of dark smoke in the sky in the wink of an eye when Ernie points his shotgun and fires on them.
