' INFORTUNATELY, in these u I days, we are SUSPICIOUS. ;wa are suspicious of NEARLY ' EVERYTHING. We haven't much ' confidence in anything. That is probably our greatest handicap I at this present critical moment ln world affairs. ! So, naturally enough, this thought occurs to us: "Aha! People are selling their 7 bonds so fast that a big new drive has to be put on to get the money to buy 'cm up as fast as they are , thrown on the market." , . 20U'D be surprised. I Even without drives, just in the natural course of events, peo . pie have been buying bonds ' faster than they have been selling ' them, ''. Let's take a look at the state of Oregon. i In 1947, in all of Oregon, total ' bond sales were $00,625,925. Total bond redemptions in Oregon in ;1947 were only $55,334,321. That, Is to say, In 1947, with no drives, . ho ballyhoo, no whoop-hurrah, the - people of Oregon bought over five , million dollars MORE bonds than they sold. And remember this ! In 1947, people wanted to use ' their bond savings to buy a lot of things they had been saving up for. But, in spite of this natural I and normal desire, they bought more bonds than they sold. THAT represents CONFIDENCE. Confidence arises out of the fact that government bonds have ' been kept salable at par. . We want to RETAIN that con ,'fldcnce. We WILL retain it as . long as people go on buying bonds with their spare cash. : ANE other fact: 1 At tho end of 1947, there were T outstanding in Oregon bonds to 3 the amount of $502,982,000 an - average of $1,224 per family. The " annual INTEREST on these bonds amounts to $13,907,000. That's . tidy Utile sum to be coming into Oregon every year to be SPENT. (One of the first principles of ., sound business, you know, is that you can SPEND THE INTER. Jest.) Let's not fool ourselves, how- ever. The Interest on government bonds Is offset by the taxes out of - which bond interest and rcdump- . lion are paid. Still, it Oregon DIDNT have bonds and other I states DID, we'd be out just that " much for we'd still have to pay taxes for interest and redemption FACT-FINDING STUDY By CHARLES V. STANTON F UNDAMENTALLY, of course, these Security bonds which we're now being asked to buy are refunding bonds. Among ". other things, they'll be used to take bonds out of the commercial ' banks, where according to good I business rules they shouldn't be, ' and put into the hands of the peo I pie, where they should be. That's too big a question to be gone into here, but it's TRUL. This is DOUBLY TrtUE: If you go on buying bonds with your spare cash, you'll be fur better off PERSONALLY than If you don't. Safety Council Will Complete Organisation A meeting to complete the or ganization of tho Roseburg Safety Council is called for 8 p. m. to day in the City Hall counc 1 chambers, reports Miss Mavis Hasbargen, who last Thursday was selected as county chairman of the program. - Tbe principal business will be the appointment of the seven ' ommlttie chairmen, who will comprise the Safety Council These committees are engineer ing. education, legislative, public Residents of the Riverside-Edenbower community are making a most commendable approach to the problem of relieving unsanitary conditions. Engineers have been em ployed to direct preliminary studies, already well advanced. A census has been made to determine the number of homes as well as the number of people residing in the area. Tenta tive routes for sanitary sewer lines have been engineered. Additional information is being collected as rapidly as pos sible by a committee of civic-minded residents. Particularly interesting is the general spirit of coopera tion. Money was needed for the fact-finding activity, and the committee conducted a canvass of business operations in the area collecting considerably more than had been set as a goal, tew persons rejected the request for financial contributions. " The committee is not formulating any policy and probably will make no recommendations. It has been organized strictly to determine facts. It has consulted with sanitary engineers to learn the necessity for sewer installations and whether an emergency exists. On this score the committee has positive data. The situation is acute. Engineers were employed to make preliminary studies of a sewage system, to determine the size and cost of a disposal plant adequate to meet immediate needs of the area, to study prospective future requirements, etc. When all the facts are at hand, including estimates of the cost of sewer and drainage installations, public meetings will be held to determine the course of action. Three major plans are under consideration. One is to form a drainage district. Oregon law authorizes formation of such districts which may float bor.d issues to finance construction of sanitary facilities. The chief point of deter mination in the district plan is whether the percentage of indebtedness will be in excess of that permitted by law. This will be known when the engineers have completed their estimates of cost. The second plan is annexation to the City of Roseburg, which would give a larger base for the bond issue, as the city's credit could be used by the issuance of Bancroft bonds. The third would bo formation of a separate municipality, a remote possibility because the same indebtedness limita tion pertaining to a drainage district wculd be imposed upon a municipal government, while the expense of municipal offices and services would be required in addition. It is the purpose of the committee as presently constituted to leave tho decision regarding policy to the residents follow ing presentation of all the facts involved. The committee, following a door-to-door census, has fixed the population of the community at 1,800. In addition several hundred children from other sections will be utiliz ing the newly constructed Riverside school. The rapid in crease in construction of business and industrial buildings is adding to the emergency daily. Valuation of the district is expected to approximate $1 million. 4M!H?I The census and valuation findings reveal an error in the opinions of many people regarding annexation. Some resi dents of suburban areas believe the municipality would bene fit financially from annexation. Some of the even less in formed believe the city is anxious to "grab" additional area because of benefits. Many city residents also believe an nexation to be financially advisable. Naturally, annexation is desirable for many reasons which outweigh tho financial consideration. But from the fiscal viewpoint the city would be the loser. Tho City of Roseburg has a population estimated in ex cess of 7,000 persons and the assessed valuation will ap proximate $0,225,000, or $889 per capita. Riverside-Eden-bower, on the other hand, has 1,800 population while the as sessed valuation is $1 million or $563 per capita. Thus the same rate of levy will produce only two-thirds as much revenue per capita in tho Edenbower-Riversido area as in side the City of Roseburg, yet the expense of municipal services is spread evenly and the city, as presently consti tuted would, in the event of annexation, bo required to ab sorb tho per capita difference. The matter of annexation doubtless will be reconsidered at the forthcoming community meetings when a decision on sanitary installations is required. In tho meantime, the committee in tiinrge of the study is to be commended for its determination to exhaust the facts and place them im partially before the people directly concerned.

Sl( Hennlnger's Calkins By JOE REICHLER (Associated Press Sports Writer) This is deflnetly a new year for Eddie Dyer and his St. Louis Cardinals. Just a year ago today. Dyer's Hedbirds were in the midst of one of their worst early season slumps. But the picture is much bright er this year thanks to some splendid pitching by Murry Dick son and George Munger. Dickson gave up 10 hits In Tues day's opener, but wound up with a 4-0 shutout. Munger allowed only Ave yesterday and register ed a 5-2 victory over the same Cincinnati Reds. The two trt umohs shoved the Cards into a first place tie with the Philadel phia Phils. The Phillies made It two in a row over the Boston Braves. taking yesterday's game 4-3 in 13 innings. At the doIo erounds the flianta flattened the Dodgers, 9-5, in one of the weirdest games in years. Five Brooklyn huriers issued 13 free Dasses and cava un 11 hiia including two home runs. The Giant's pitching wasn't much better. Two of them also allowed 11 hits between them, including three home runs, but walked only four men. Bases on balls by Main forced in iwo umcago runs in the ninth to help the Cubs defeat the Pirates in Pittsburgh, 6-3. Bad pitching continued to plague the Yankees. The Wash ington benators pounced upon Raschl for five runs in the third inning and whipped the world champions 6-3, in the Capital City. Detroit made it two in a row over the White Sox in Chicago, winning 4-3 and tying the Phila delphia Athletics for first place in the American League.

Flagg, republican candidal for the nomination to tho office of secretary of state, who, In visiting the News-Review Wednesday, spent his time prin cipally in the "back shop." The son of a pioneer printer and publisher, Flagg followed printing for a number of years and still carries his withdrawal card from the ITU. He left the printing trade to work for nine years as a deputy in the Secre tary of State's office, and since 1943 held the office of Public Utilities Commissioner, resigning recently to enter the present cam paign. He is making a final swing in to Southern Oregon, after thor oughly canvassing Eastern Ore gon, and will finish the campaign in the upper Willamette Valley.
