STANTON f '"p The Rose-burg Chamber of Commerce ranks exceptionally -rfugh in comparison with organizations in cities of similar J'liize, according to information gathered by Harold J. Hick-.'''-5i?rson. secretary-manager, and published in his monthly , jmlletin to the membership. The survey, however, reveals me weak spot. The Roseburg Chamber, while far above the iverage in membership, is below the average in Income. In ill other respects, the Roseburg organization is in the upper rackets in the way of achievements and working plans. Reporting that the first Chamber of Commerce in' the Jnited States was organized April 5, 1768, "to promote and ncourage commerce, support industry, adjust disputes rela ive to trade and navigation, and to procure such laws and -egulations as may be found necessary for the benefit of rade in general," the local bulletin states that the nation oday has 2,749 Chambers of Commerce, with total member hip of approximately 1,250,000 and income of more than 560,000,000. . Summarizing responses to a recent questionnaire circu- ated by the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, with particular ittention to reports from 229 serving communities corre- ponding to Roseburg's population class, Hickerson found hat the Roseburg Chamber is : Ona of 0 among 229 with an Industrial plant alta aurvoy. ' Ona of 176 among 229 off.rjng no cash bonus, frsa sits, fraa rant or moving aspens, as an Jn4uo.rn.nt to now Industrlaa. Ona of 72 among 22t having a rsssrva fund aarmarksd for a spselfio purpose.

Ons of 192 among 229 furnishing a pookst mambarahlp oard. ' Ona of 179 among 229 furnishing msmbsrship signs. Ono of 11 among 229 holding wsskly mastlngs. One of 173 among 229 using a mall ballot In slsotions. Ona of 111 among 229 nominating two or mora .and I ' datss for aach alsotlvs position. Ona of 10 among 229 with a msmbsrship slub masting waakly. Ona of four among 229 offering a rsprssentativs of the Junior Chamber the privilege of attending our board meetings. One of 11 among 229 with Junior Chamber members serving on the committees. Ona of 55 among 229 making a special effort to aesuro young men ae members. Ona of 29 among 229 whose duee collected during 1947 were below the average of 114,202. We received 112,54.50. One of 30 among 229 with a membership of mere then 400 In 1947. Ona of 19S among 229 that la Incorporated. Ons 4f 53 among 229 with an Inersase In membership In "47. One of 47 among 229 operating on a budget plan. Only ona among 229 which provides that Its Immedi ate pact president shall serve as a beard member. Ons of 36 among 229 with dlrsetsrs msstlng bi monthly. One of 219 among 229 with 14 or more standing com mlttaaa. One of 103 among 229 not Increasing number af em ployee since 1944. One of 104 among 229 having a ssorstary with prsvious experience In chamber of commerce service. One of 38 among 229 having a ssorstary with mere than 11 years servloe In that position. One of 73 among 229 having a eecrstary serving a fifth yssr In ths sams oommunlty. Ona of 166 among 279 with a solicitation committee to pass en applications to solicit. Ono of 219 among 279 not operating a better business burssu. One of 112 among 229 aesisting In promoting one or more annual events that attraot out of town visitors. One of 177 emeng 229 having a national affaire com mittee. One of 134 among 229 having an sducatlon committee. One of 163 among 229 that sponsorsd a community chest. The foregoing comparison, we believe, indicates that the toseburg Chamber is above average in its organizational tructure and working methods. It could operate more effl lently with larger membership and income, but there is no eason to be ashamed of achievement to date. Too many people are inclined to look upon Chamber of !ommerc membership as "donation" or "contribution" omething that every community should have but not re- uiring participation except a monthly or yearly hand-out. A study, however, of the items listed above will show that Chambers of Commerce are most essential to civic, industrial nd business welfare of any community and that "invest- v4 lent" in the Chamber of Commerce brings actual monetary rofita.

By the time I think which way y-e're heading, the sun has whizz ed around to ths other shoulder or behind me, and It's all to do over again. When there's no sun and no north star visible, one glvrs up, or tries to give up, for after all what difference does It make which way Is north? Only to me It does make a difference, to the struggle goes on. "Correct the compass 21 de grees East" I was told, as If that settled everything. But what about the times the metal In the hills, or whatever It Is, that causes the needle to deflect wildly until I can't bear to look at It? About that time It usually gets stuck anyway. EJ can't for the life of him ae why I can't "Just settle down and ride." Since I never add two and two If I can avoid It, I ask his help In navigating. Not that my navigation hat a thing In the world to do with the direction the car goes he gets lost anyhow. Of course, on my part, I can't see why every grade must be made without shifting gears if possible. I miss half the scenery, and he missel all of it (I hope!) as we glide around the curves, but bless me, what of that? We made the grade without shifting gears! The only time I ever really saw all the scenery I wanted tq tee was rolling down to Del Rio on that ninety miles of straight road, straight as an arrow with a shaft warped up and down by the heat. We never could tell whether the windmill we were passing was one we had teen ten miles back or whether It was an extra one that had popped up from behind a rise, a very little rise. "It takes five acres of grazing land around here to each head of stock." they told us where we stopped to eat. So when we taw a steer all by Itself, with nothing else but a windmill within miles, EJ says, "Well, he's enjoying his five acres." Of course I'd rather ride with him than anyone I know (he readt this, too.) But I wish some timesbut there, we do have to "get where we're going!" loos Bay Ready Tor Big Pageant a COOS BAY, Ore, Aug. 5 -n- .1 pageant and queen coronal Inn jen the North Bend-Coos Bay Irate Treature dayt Friday Ight.

Does Congress want the American woman to stay beautiful? Well. If It does. It had better start forking out some cash. This is the advice of Mrs. Veronica Dengel, a beauty engineer, who tayt the high coat of keeping beautiful la pricing many women right out of the market "Beauty is so Important." she I said. "That there should be na- h. k... ...n., ,. tional beauty clinics subsidized "". l?? 'i'L by federal funds which would L h"1" Tjw bring beautv within the reach of " P?h t?-. ''L !'n akawt-ir U'a-itnnn " I in-iauar j m s Mrs. Dengel thinks women have every bit as much right to a chunk of the nat.onal budget as farmers. "There are government subsi dies for almost every type of (-duration except for the all-Important one of enabling Ameri can women to learn how to he and remain a rare of beautiful healthy creatures. And this Is vital necessity to preserve mar riages In the face of today's alarming divorce rate." Mrs. Dengel has been cam paigning for some time for equal rights at the drugstore counter. "Congress should repeal the M per cent tax on cosmetics." she said, "because lipstick, powur-r and cream are as easentlal to a woman as shaving cream Is to a man. but the man doesn't pay a luxury tax on his whisker soap." Convinced that American wo men are the most beautiful In the world. Mrs. Dengel regards this as "one of the dividends of Democracy." "As long as we have beautiful women," she said, "our men would slaughter any foreign 'Ism'." So she puts It up to congress to save America by saving Its womanly beauty. Five Types of Facea Mrs. Dengel's views were giv en In a long telegram In which she disagreed with this depart ment's recent muted protests against "the great American fe male face." "There are five basic types of fa. -re," she said. "These are Alexis Smith, exe cutive; Joan Crawford, dramat ic; Ingrld Bergman, wholesome: Shirley Temple, feminine; and Irene Dunne, conservative" So there are five kinds of faces. I wouldn't quarrel with a lady beauty expert even If she said there were 23 kinds. My only contention It that In public they tend loo often to merge In to an Iceberg profile that cloaks their real personalities. And Mark, a well known Man- strive for the same farlal lines. And with this I leave, I hope forever, the problem of "The Great American Female Face" to Mark, Mrs. Dengel, Congress, and the woman who wears one. Beauty may be only skin-deep, but It s too deep for me.

We have been more lenient on legal crab size In Oregon than has been the case In Wash ington, this being one of the underlying causes of the recent arrest of a Warrenton crab fish erman for violation of the Wash ington nonresident fishing law. Now Oregon adopts stricter regulations, which should help ease the irritation of Washing ton authorities who see Oregon crab fishermen come Into their coastal waters, perhaps to take crahs smaller than Washington legal size. I'nlform regulation among the three coastal states Is. however. the only adequate solution. Such uniform regulation no doubt will come soon as result of rec ommendations by the new three- state fisheries commission recent ly created. Another example of the need for uniform regulation It the. recent Oregon-Washington flur ry over the season tor taking silver salmon by trollers. Oregon banned trolling for sil vers until July IS and Oregon atitnorltlea apparently thought Washington would have a paral lel ban. Hut Washington threw open the fishing season for troll- raugnt silvers June iv At result, there was tome irritation and resentment among the fisher men. This tort of thing does the commercial fishery no good. It points up the need for uniform regulation. the sale committee hat an nounced. Mall bids may be c. t to H.
