Communism THRIVES In a cockeyed world. d.fference By CHARLES C. C. Crow, editor of Crow's Pacific Coast Lumber Diyest, a timber industry magazine, bangs out a two-fisted attack on the proposed cooperative sustained yield timber plan in the March 19 issue of his publication. Crow's virile editorial style Is most effective, and while his language is a little more restrained regarding this program than that used previously in connection with some other subjects, he builds a strong case against sustained yield on a sentimental basis. Crow says : Here In the state of Oregon, particularly in the south--western parts where the last great forests of virgin timber In our nation stand, greedy eyes covetously survey the thousands upon thousands of aores of government-owned . trees that are ready for harvesting, and oertain groups, newly sprung from bankruptcy to affluence as a result of war prosperity, are joining hands with the power-hungry federal bureaus In an attempt to take this God-given natural resource and convert It Into a vast private estate for them selves and their descendants, to the complete exclusion of all other free-born American citizens. The screen behind which this high-handed business Is being promoted Is "sus tained yield." It should be oalled "sustained grab." No more un-Amerioan plan was sver concocted. Sure, the favored few thus endowed will be assured of making more and more money under any and all circumstances and, too, they will have assured their children and their children's children sustained fortunes and government-guaranteed prosperity. The whole scheme Is not even as liberal as conditions under which "share croppers" eke out an existence In the 8outh, where vast holding of land make the many slaves to the few, with never a chance to do other than pick up the orumbs that fall from the tables of those who, with political Intrlguo, will have set themselves up as timber barons. There is more of the same, prosperity produced by timber operations, growth and bene fits to communities, increase in employment, etc. The pro phecy is made that "an extended period of development for southwestern Oregon has just conclusion that this development "has good prospects of continuing if we do not over to a few, with the inevitable result of erasing the out lying communities and the small operators in the picture." The question is asked, "What will happen to such thriving places as Eugene, Lebanon, Sweethome, Cottage Grove, Roseburg, Grants Pass and Coos Bay if, through impositions of the sustained-yield racket, all of their neighboring small towns and all the surrounding small mills and logging camps are eliminated?" Crow supplies his own question with the d- Maration : "Kill the littlo operators and you kill the little connunities. Kill the little communities and you kill the Eugenes and the Roseburgs and the Lebanons, and you kill the state." He holds fears that if all the timber in Western Oregon is handed over to a few concerns they might even tually consolidate into one. Editor Crow has every right to his own opinions and the right, and even the responsibility as an editor, to express those opinions. But we do not believe an issue as important as that of sustained-yield forest management will be solved by vituperation, nor by superficial claims. Certain fundamental issues are involved. These must be analyzed. Then we must endeavor to look into the future and baso policies on forsceablo trends. Continued prosperity in Southwestern Oregon depends upon proper management of our timber resource. Here tofore tho history of tho timber industry has been one of reckless, criminal waste. There has been no change in that practice, except in a few minor cases and chiefly among tho large operators having an ample supply of timber to guarantee a perpetual supply. As an example, the Pope and Talbot development has boomed Oakridge from a town of '100 residents! to 1500. A new $1 million sawmill is to be expanded into a $4,500,000 utilization plant, and the popu lation of Oakridge is expected to reach 5,000. This results when an operator has reasonable assurance of future supply. Approximately one-half the timber supply in Southwest ern Oregon is owned by John Q. Public. The public, there fore, has a right to demand protection of its interests. It has the right to demand protection of its interests. It has the right to demand that waste and overcutting of the re source shall be stopped. The forseeable trend is toward utilization of waste and a product of far greater value than that of today, even from that portion of the resource now be ing wasted. But full utilization will come only w ith security. We cannot concur in the theory that sustained yield forest management destroys the right of free enterprise, except as free enterprise permits the operator to do as ho "gol danged well pleases" with a resource upon which public in terest and welfare depends. may be limited and restrained in public interest. We have stopped, in part at least, tho destructive overgrazing prac tices on public lands, and cattlemen are raising the same hue-and-cry as sustained-yield opponents. We are attempt ing to restrain destruction of our fisheries resource. Why shouldn't wc also attempt to protect the timber resource from wasteful exploitation? We disagree that sustained yield will kill the little com munities. Instead, full utilization will create more jobs, more payrolls, more homes, just as at Oakridge. And this only can be accomplished when industry is given assurance of continued source of raw material supply.

J DISHES, THERE ' V BORtt THIRTY YEARS TOO SOOM J J J Salvation Army Expansion Heeds To Be Considered Definite need for tho expan sion of Salvation Army facilities in Roseburg was under discussion Wednesday by the Roseburg ad visory hoard, headed by Jack Fariss. Members met ct a lunch ?on to consider ways and means to meet the increasing need. Copt. Claude Bowden, local corps officer, presented several plans to the board for its consid eration. Principal item for con sideration, he gold hoard mem bers, was thp sale of the present Salvation ' Army quarters at 130 S. Jackson St. Several offers have been received for the property, Bowden said. Sale must depend upon finding other facilities, pend ing plans to erect suitable build ings. Need for expansion, Bowden told the board, is necessitated through increased activity-, in young people's work. The num ber of young people now b(jng served by the Salvation Army has grown considerably during the past your, to such a point that the present building is "inade quate" to handle tliern together with the spiritual and welfare work. ; The board considered various plans for new facilities and a com mittee was appointed to ascertain building costs and other factors entering the plun. Committee members are V. V. llarpham, chairman; Paul Geddes, and Toin Parkinson. Kariss will sit in with the committee as chairman of the hoard. Kccicalional and athletic fa cilities for young people are "woe fully and inadequate" In Rose burg, Kariss told the board, and said that the success of the Sal vation Army in dealing with youth warranted "widespread support of any plan to expand facilities to this end here." John M. Chesebro of the Sal vation Army divisional office at Portland met with the board and offered the assistance of his of fice in working out anv plan which would benefit Roseburg youth. First endeavor of the new com mittee will be to secure listing of various properties adaptable to the need. Several vacant lots on Winchester Street will he con sidered. Property owners In this locality are urged to contact the committee. Mayor Personally Hikes Collections For City Projects CHARLES CITY, la.

These mat ters will be investigated by club members and a report made at the meeting next Wednesday morning at the Rose Hotel. The club voted to hold a skat ing party for members of the two Girl Scout troops which it sponsors.

Emmett Meek was named to secure the skating rink at Winchester; Bill Adair was appointed food committee chairman: Ken Under in charge of transportation, and Jim Loom is to arrange for soft drinks. Climaxing a drive to secure members, 15 candidates have been accepted into the club, and initiation of the new members present was held. The club members have been working on shelters for school children who must wait for the school busses. Two have been built but remain to be painted and two more are to be erected. The opinion was expressed that the shelters would probably not be ready for use before fall, but it was hoped they could be com pleted in the near future, stored and then placed at designated places before school starts next fall. The shelters, six by eight feet in dimensions would care for about 15 children, It was report ed.
