I IF you will recall that sharp con
J I trast balancing those grim
-days when Britain's military
" power was smashed, when France
had lallen, when Hitler's victori
ous armies stood across the chan-
nel, only a few miles away, with
the present time, you will be In
clined to agree that the British
have something to celebrate.
' IN Hollywood, there Is a binge of
' a different sort. Lana Turner
; and Bob Topping are getting mar-
rled. It ought to be a fairly pro-
fcsslohal spectacle. Each has been
married three times before. There
Z should be no false moves any
; where along the line. At every
point, both should know exactly
I what to do next.
; Practice, you know, makes per--feet.
"THROUGHOUT the story, dol
'. I lars are mentioned casually In
"thousands. Bob got loose on Frl-
day from his third wife. He
1 handed her $100,000 In alimony.
After the wedding and the recep
tion, Lana donned her $25,000
; trousseau and prepared to leave
-on a New York-London honey
; moon with the first stop at Palm
; Springs.
One correspondent says: 'The
festive board groaned 'neath the
'weight of lobsters flown from
"Boston and assorted delicacies
"flown from New York and
' Louisiana."
,
WHO are they?
fl Well, Bob Is the plnyboy dc-
scendant of a tough and compe
"tent ancestor who learned how
to put tin permanently onto steel,
'.. thus making our tin can civiliza
tion possible. Lana Is a former
I Hollywood high school girl who
"has demonstrated outstanding
"ability to pack people Into thea
,'tros. .
I THESE celebrations In London
and Hollywood differ sharply
n one respect. The London dis
"patches tell us that George's and
Elizabeth's DOMESTICITY has
I endeared them to home-loving
"Britons. Bob and Lana gain an
'added luster from the fact that
"this l their fourth wedding.
" The British are amused and
'diverted by royal spectacles. So
ithey pay the price for royalty. As
n part of tholr show, they don't
'care for divorce. Witness Edward

' the more the merrier.
It all depends, you sec, on what

SECURITY BOND CAMPAIGN
By CHARLES V. STANTON
The people of the United States are being urged to take
out insurance. This is a somewhat different insurance than
that which ordinarily would come to mind at mention of the
word. It is insurance against inflation, against depression
and against future personal financial hardship. The public
is urged to buy government savings bonds in the first peace
time bond campaign. Success of the drive will aid in re
tarding inflation, will act to forestall depression, and, in
addition, it offers personal financial benefits to every par
ticipant. Who could ask more in the way of insurance?
The drive was planned midway in 1947. At that time
several impelling reasons were foremost in the minds of
federal economists. Organized labor was preparing to drive
for spring wage increases, which would add another round
in the spiral of inflation. There was too much money in the
hands of the public. Bank credits were too free. Too much
money was available for speculation.
Economists saw the need to reduce inflationary circula
tion of money. When people have too much money to spend
and to use in speculation they are not careful with expendi
tures. Rapid circulation of money keeps prices on a con
stantly advancing plane, and, when coupled with increasing
wages and salaries, may result in uncontrolled inflation.
The economists wanted taxes kept high, but, this being
a political year, Congress voted a tax decrease over strenu
ous objections from the administration's financial experts.
The millions saved by income tax reductions will propor
tionately increase national spending power, thus contribut
ing to inflation.
The government succeeded in tightening bank credits and
restricting speculative loans. This was done by increasing
the amount of money banks are required to hold in reserve.
Thus the banks had less money to loan. But the effort to
stop another round of wage increases met only partial suc
cess. Wages have been advanced in many lines and more
wage demands are pending. The month of May will be a
crucial time in many large industries, as that is the period
for contract renewals. With more money from wages and
more money saved from taxes, everything is ripe for another
upward turn of the inflationary spiral.
Two programs have been put in operation to drain off
surplus money. One is the Marshall plan, which takes bil
lions of dollars for European recovery money which prob
ably will come back in the form of industrial and business
benefits at some future date and another is the increase in
expenditures for military defense. But, despite these levies
on national wealth, there still is too much money in the
hands of the public to suit the economists.
Naturally, most people resent the scheming of the federal
rrovernment to sit as judge, jury and executioner on the
family pocketbook. Yet it must be lreeiy admitted tnaxne
danger of inflation remains acute. The anticipated recession
and possible depression failed to materialize. There is no
sign of other than increasing prosperity. Inflation could
cause untold suffering. Actually it could be worse than any
depression we have known.
We may object to the government taking our money irom
us by taxation and wasteful expenditures, but we can find
no irrounds upon which to raise
our surplus earnings and profits to practice thrift on a
voluntary basis.
A great many people have
year, for example, people in
Series E bonds, or $5 million
turned in for redemption.
It is the purpose of the federal government to get its
obligations out of the hands of bankers. The banks can use
federal bonds a3 a basis for credit. Credit is inflationary.
If the debt can be taken from
the neonle. tho national economy is far nioro stable.
That is why this new bond issue is insurance. Purchase
of the new Series E bonds drains off excess purchasing
power, lowers the volume of inflationary credit, sets current
profits and salary surpluses aside for use at some future
dato when, perhaps, they will be needed more than today.
Instead of confiscating wealth, as is done through taxation,
the federal government encourages retention of wealth in
tho hands of the people, but retards circulation. Circulation,
not possession, of money is the cause of inflation. Our last
depression was not caused by a lack of money but resulted
onlv because people quit circulating money.
Thus the new issue of Series E bonds will be known as
"Security" bonds, because they make our national economy
more secure and give the possessor protection against both
inflation and depression
cause whenever the circulation
times become hard, bonds
restored to circulation.
Kn. regardless of what may be our opinions regarding
other financial manipulations,
couragement to the Security
fullest cooperation and participation.

National Guard
Unit in Tri-City
Area Proposed
Proposed establishment of a
National Guard rille company in
the Tri-City area will be explain
ed by Lt. Col. Robert Irving of
Roseburg, at a meeting ol the
Canyonvllle Chamber or com
merce May 10.
Col. Irving, commander of the
1st Battalion of the 186th Infan
try, said one more company is
to be organized in Southern Ore
gon to bring the regiment to
full strength. The meeting at
Canyonvllle will be in the nature
of a "feeler," to learn whaton-
terest Riddle, Canyonvllle, and
Myrtle Creek will take in the
National Guard, he added.
In addition to Col. living, Col.
Brlggs, Regular Army inspector
of the 1st Battalion, will be pre-
icnt at the Canyonvllle meeting.
The National Guard company
in Roseburg is a heavy weapons
unit of the 186th Infantry.' LoMer
designation of the company here
is "D." Letter designation of the
company vet to bo organized
would he "B.," Col. Irving said.
The 186th Infantry Regiment
is part of the 41st Division. This
division established a combat
record in the South Pacific dur
ing the recent war, taking p.lrt
In three "spearheads" recoveries
of islands or. airfields.
The first spearhead took place
at H o 1 1 a n d i a, in Dutch New
Guinea; the second on the Island
of Biak, and the third in tho
Philippines.
In addition to a unit which
would be used in both war and
peacetime protection, approxima
tely s-iu.uuo in iNauonai uuara
nay would be brought into the
Tii-City area if the new company
is located there, lt was pomtca

Logging, Wartime
Experience Tc!d
To Toastmasters
Autobiographical sketches were
the topics of tho speakers at the
wcoKiy loasimasiers uiud mpet
Ing Tuesday night. R. L. McCoy
and Jim Price each gave talks,
but an additional extemporaneous
speech was given at tne cluns
request ny Harrison Winston on
his wartime flight experience.
McCoy who is with the state
industrial accident commissitan
told of his early life and export
ences as a logger during the years
of "tramp" ioggers, skid roads
and "employment sharks." Most
loggers, he said, jumped around
from place to place and wore
known as "tramps." In reference
to employment "sharks," he told
how many logging operations
were said to have three crews:
one working, one coming and one
going. Mou were hired by thft
"sharks" for a tic and fired In
turn by the employers, who re
reived a cut on the fee. Ho con
trasted logging methods then and
today. Alccoy served in tne Ma
rines from 1SH2 to 1!M1, and has
since worked with the accident
commission.
Price sketched briefly his
earlv childhood, schooling and
employment, and his experience
as an amphibious engineer in
Kuropp during the war. He came
to Roseburg In 1947. ,
Winston gave a graffic account
of some of his flight experiences
during the war in the Pacific
and hold the club s attention with
accounts of his dangerous mis.
slons. i
His first mission (he completed
31 in all), he said, was from
Mindora in the Philippines over
a target on Formosa. The Air
corps was assigned to wipo out
these bases prior to the invasion
of Okinawa. He admitted he was
"scared" half to death when he
learned his first mission was
over so dangerous a target that
rescue would have been almost
impossible if he had crashed.
He explained the flight forntn
tion and flying principles, in
which his duty over the target
was merely to maintain the ii.ee J

and altitude of the plane, while
the controls were turned over to !
the bombardier. -
He said on approaching over
the target he could see ahead
what appeared to be a wall of
anti-aircraft fire, and was shock
ed to witness a plane just ahead
go down in a ball of fire. After
releasing his load of fragmentary
oomos, lie lollowea nis lead pilot,
who was on his last mission, in
dive out of the danger area.
When he returned to his Philip
pine base, his plane had 22 anti
aircraft fragment holes, and he
ditin t realize, ne said nis plane
had been hit.
Two engines, he reported, were
knocked out during his second
mission. He was unable to locate
a nearby submarine with the in
tention of balling out with his
crew to be rescued, so headed
back toward the nearest Philip
pine air strip. His third motor
conked out, forcing him to cut the
lourtn, out ne managed a crasn
landing.
The only casualty of this, or
any other trip, was a broken
ankle of his tall gunner, sustain
ed when other crewmen jumped
out of the plane upon him. He
said he was intercepted by Japa
nese planes on his third mission.
While these first experiences were
the most vivid in his memory, ne
said, his most thrilHng and dan
gerous flights come later.

Federal Tract
Lease Transferred
To Scouts Council
Transfer of a lease to 80 acres
of federal public land on Wolf
Creek, near Little River, to the
Oregon Trail Council, Inc., Boy
Scouts of America, for use as a
summer camp received final ap
proval in Washington, j. u., to
day, it was announced by Assis
tant Secretary of the Interior C.
Girard Davidson.
The camp, used for 21 years by
the Boy Scouts, is the only camp
of its kind In the United States
established by special act of Con
gress. Details of the lease transfer
negotiations, handled by the Bu
reau of Land Management in the
Department of the Interior, have
served to emphasize a unique
feature of the national program
for cooperation between govern
ment and the public In promot
ing the maximum beneficial use
of the federal public lands," Secre
tary Davidson pointed out. The
story, briefly, is as follows:
Used By Various Groups
In January 1927, Congress
oassed a law authorizing and di
recting the secretary of the in
terior to lease the iands to the
Douglas County Boy Scout Coun
cil as a summer camp for the Boy
Scouts of Douglas County. Under
the law the lease would be effec
tive for 50 years and the Scouts
were required to report to the
Department of the Interior each
year as to the use made of the
land.
These requirements were faith
fully met and during the course
of the past 21 years the Scout
Council's reports told of tho use
of the land by Girl Scouts, Camp
Fire Girls, 4-H Club members,
