Local News By CHARLES V. STANTON Two fleer strolled into a main residential district In Rose burg one day this week, coming from the hill north of town, traveling to the Second Avenue intersection. There they took one surprised look at the traffic death trap and quickly made a dive for cover along the banks of Deer Creek. Frequently we read of deer entering towns in many of our states. Such events are not unusual. What oases" thee graceful, timid animals to enter popu lated communities? Does their appearance result from curi ositjyor confusion, or is there an instinct to follow long forgotten natural trails? Buried beneath our pavements. homes and business houses, and the skyscrapers of our great cities are the trails once used by game animals in years long ago. Deer are not exclusively inhabitants of the uplands as we tend to think of them today. In their natural state they love the lowlands, where lush forage is to be found along the river bench. We can imagine how deer, traditionally curious, watched from the forest shadows the peculiar antics of white, two-legged animals that came into their range, cut trees and made shelters from logs. The forest and brush were cut away, and succulent gardens, green pastures and tender shoots of young fruit trees offered tempting, strange foods until a new fear was created by blasts from long rifles. In time the deer grew more and more afraid of this invader and approach to gardens and haystacks became stealthy and nocturnal. Gradually more and more men came, more buildings were built, more rifles cracked. Game animals were driven from their lowland pastures. They were hunted into the high hills. They became more and more fearful. Yet they still, upon occasion, seek out the old trails and return to the scenes of the peaceful range of their forebears, and thus run afoul of civilization. , Civilization connotes intelligence a superior kind of intel ligence. Yet civilization has driven our wild animals from their natural habitat It has forced them into places where food is scarce, where predators are prevalent. It hunts them in season and out. It deals death even at night in the glare of spotlights and headlights. It sends armies of red-hatted hunters into the forests to shoot at everything that moves. And then civilization cries to the high heavens because its game commissions can't furnish ample supply of wild ani mals, shortens seasons and prescribes restrictive legislation. Civilization superior intelligence pours filth, waste and pollution into the streams. It cuts away the forests. It leaves ground bare so that topsoil may be washed away at the rate of millions of acres a year. It creates floods in winter and drouth in summer. It dumps logs, debris and sawdust into the water to steal precious oxygen. Then civilization yowls like a scalded cat beciuse there are too few fish in our streams. Civilization plows up the bottom lands, it cleans out hedge rows, it destroys the natural grasses and food-bearing shrubs, it destroys cover afforded by brush and tall weeds. It speeds in motor vehicles along paved highways leaving trails of broken bodies of game birds. It scatters unwanted house cats throughout the land. It drains swamps, usurps lakes. Then civilization wails long and loud because the season for ring-necked pheasants is cut and because protec tive measures are Invoked for migratory waterfowl. Perhaps deer visit our towns because they are curious about this thing we call civilization. Leave I?ai Rah, Mr inii Mr. L. E. McClintock of Roseburg lft tnriflV far NMlfnuili, tn -nanrl two weeks vacationing. At Lawaona.

In the Day's News (Contim-ed From Page One) which Is his usual rising hour.) The delegate went tired, sweat soaked and bored. He was Im maculate In a w.ilte linen suit. He came to the stage with a springy step. He was grinning and If you haven't seen It you can't know how charming his grin can be. APs Rolman Morln (whose stories have been vivid. Interest ing and accurate) says: "The President hit hard, and hit aim was good. Hit theme was an old one the sin., of the Republican controlled 80th congress. His manner was such that the audi ence could hardly fail to react He was, by turns, angry, amusing and poisonously sarcastic. . . It was a good speech. It got the Democratic aircraft off the ground." HIS strategy was POLITICAL LY good. He called the REPUBLICAN congress Into 1 summer session beginning two weeks from now. Ho dared It to make good on Its platform pledges. That. In Itself, Is ultrr.smart politicking. A po litical platform, you know, Isn't f , Intended for PREELECTION law-making. It Is a sheet of sticky flypaper put out to catch votes. Truman threw the opposition's platform Into the teeth of Its makers and said Incisively: "You've talked mighty big about what you're GOING TO DO If you're put In power. OK. DO IT NOW." AS PURE political strategy, you can't beat It. It's always good strategy, In war or politic, when you can put your enemy on the hot seat with out taking any risk yourself. (We'd love nothing better than to put the Russians in that kind of hole right now.) If the Republicans, In the sum mer session of congress, should fall for the President's bait and get Involved In a thumb-biting, ear-chewing free-for-all over such purely domestic problems as "civ il rights," labor laws, etc.. It would be simply wonderful from the Democratic standpoint. In any time other than a grim national crisis. It would he fun to watch the scrap that would fol low, BUT lift your eye this morning from !"te American political stage to the world backdrop be hind It.
