MODERN ATHLETIC PLANT By CHARLES V. STANTON Roaeburg'e Flnlay Field is beginning to tske on the ap pearance of a really modern, first-clans athletic plant The Umpqua Chiefs will dedicate their new baseball diamond Thursday in the first night baseball game to be played in Roseburg. The baseball and softball fields are to be sepa rated and both will be improved. The Senior High School Indians will have a turfed practice field for their football season. Jim Mess, property custodian for the Roseburg school district, has built a new main entrance to the field, Is completing a new building for use by the school, band, planning the building so that it will fit into the athletic pro gram, and is preparing to build aluminum-roofed bleacher seats for the south side of the football field. Considerable work remains to be done before the athletic insUUatlon Is complete. More lights on taller poles are Jamet Y. Rogers, visiting here from Charlotte, N. C. foresees needed for the football field. More bleacher seats and a I no,hln but destruction for every country Involved !n the event of bandstand should be placed on the south side of the gridiron. The grandstand needs a new roof. Mess is preparing to clean and paint the grandstand. The softball field will need new bleachers, as the seats have been taken to the new baseball diamond. The running track around the football field needs revamping. Other improvements and additions are in con templation. With continued cooperation and support the field will be an important future asset in athletics and enter tainment The Umpqua Chiefs and their backers are to be com mended for the fine new baseball field which they will dedi cate Thursday night Fans should show their appreciation by a big turnout for this first baseball game under lights. While night softball games have been seen here for a num ber of years, the installation has not been sufficient for i. ji- li m. u , , , tnereiore oecomes not a case ol hardball.

He stated that 500 bombs are considered iufflrient to complete ly destroy Industrial United States. The armament! picture therefore become! not a case of major league park. While we realize that some people do not approve of beer taverns and pool halls, nevertheless one must applaud the civic spirit demonstrated by proprietors of these businesses who hsve combined their contributions to make the new baseball field possible. There seems to be a definite relation ship between beer and baseball witness the stock owner ship by brewers and brewing interests in organized ball. Roseburg tavern proprietors have pooled their contributions, which amount to several thousands of dollars, to finance installation of lights, grading and filling a complete new diamond, setting up stands and backstops and laying the foundation for one of the best diamonds in Southern Oregon. 1 PJ!rlo,Li!,rh ' nyJT ic bombs, hut which h suffi cient bomhi for saturation of a country in the event of an attack. We are living in a new age the nuclear energy age. which it at Important In the progress of civilization as fire was to primitive man, and as the use of chemical energy became in a later period, said Rogers. Technically, he said, nuclear energy Is the ultimate energy of the unlverae holding the nucleui of atoms together. In an atomic explosion, the energy holding the nucleus -to-together Is released. The explo slon, he said, li like nothing else known to science, and cannot be compared with a chemical ex- mite, because It It entirely dif- omlr plant. ferent The atomic bomb It made from uranium ore. the amount of which is limited. So far this it the only Eventually the field will be turfed, permanent stands con structed and other Improvements made. At present the field is not perfect Being newly constructed, it has not had time to pack sufficiently and will have a few soft spots. But after a few weeks of maintenance it will be highly satisfactory. j Fans owe a vote of thanks to the men who have made the improvement possible, for if Roseburg is to maintain its 'Oaffl Fail" In Cp place as the trade center for its area, it must, first of all.

The snswtr Is simple and plain.
