AdamskI, secretary. time, the gubernatorial candidate claimed "we are not producing enough." He illustrated how Eastern Ore gon Is a great undeveloped coun try. Two-thirds of Oregon ! east of the Cascades, yet 80 percent of the people and 75 percent of ine industry lies west or the mountains, McKay said. The need ior rangeiana improvement by cooperative experimentation be tween federal, state and private organizations is seen oy McKay. "There are places In Eastern Oregon that could produce food crops if water could be supplied there," he said. 'Today we (In Oregon) are looking for people tomorrow the people will be looking for Jobs." McKay stated. He sees a definite need here for the processing of our own products. He cited his own Marion County as the sec ond largest food producing county In the United States. "By processing our own raw materials," McKay said, "we can keep people working." He mentioned the next state legislative session as a "most im portant" one, when the $50 mil lion so-called "surplus" will be come one of the main Items of business. "Let'i not get excited over this alleged surplus," he cautioned. "The day will come when this money will be needed for schools, welfare of needy peoples, and other necessary uses. Let's kecD something In the sock for a rainy day. This is no time to feel pros perous times may get bad again." The Board of Control was listed as next important on the legisla tive agenda. He pointed out that the board "spends our money," therefore cooperative, common sense people must be elected to the Job. McKay concluded by making some general remarks about what the Republican oarty stands for. 'There are those who thinks our party is the party of the privi leged classes. This could be no further from the truth," he de clared. He emphasized that the Republican party is "the friend of the people." The Republican party Is not of a certain "class" of people, he said. He maintained "there is no such thing as class distinction In this country," and added: "I believe the Republican nartv represents all the people." Honored guest introduced at the dinner meetin" Included Mrs. Guy Cordon. Mrs. McKay, Mrs. Marshall Co nett, Republican na tional committeewoman; Dr. Mor ris H. Roach, and Roy Young, Republican county committeeman. Eugene A. Springer local cam paign manager for McKay, va master of ceremonies and made the Introductions. Mrs. Cornett stressed the Im portance of not being "overconfi dent" in the coming election. "We're all salesmen, and we have a good product to sell, she re minded. The Republican national com mitteewoman pointed out that "every Republican must consider himself a committee of one to sell the ticket." Schools Needs Stressed By Chairman of Board (Continued from Page One) the monev to be raised by the proposed bond issue would be spent according to the following tentative outline, Ellison said: S.nl.r Hlfb Srae.l: 32 rlau rroma. corridor, lollete. cale- terla MIS soo Central heating plant u 72.000 Equipment .. 30.000 I Bll.rl.a uracil: Elftlt clae- rooma ana one baaement room 120.000 Equipment . .. 10.000 Blv.r.14.

Payment of the bond issue including interest over 20-year period, has been esti mated at an annual average of about 59 mills on present dis trict valuation. This levy would take the place of a 6-mllI serial levy, which ends this year and which hai been Imposed for the past five years for school build ing purposes. Although there will not be an increase in taxes so far as the bond Issue is concerned, Ellison pointed out that there will be an Increase In administrative and maintenance costs with the new school building program, as well as the cost of employing additional teachers. Ellison pointed out that the district has found it necessary to construct "temporary buildings" at a number of the schools. These buildings are not satisfactory and tne money spent on them, if al lpwed to accumulate, could have been more wisely used to con struct a permanent 10-room school "This Is the truest picture we can place before the public at the present time, based on cur rent standards and census fig ures," Ellison said. "If the voters fall to approve the bond Issue, we would still be required by law to 'educate' the children. We would have to rent buildings in town and cut out the 'extras' In the curriculum." Also a speaker on the forum Program was Fire Chief Glenn I. Taylor, who spoke on fire prevention week. Military Street Block Widening Contracted (Continued from Page One) to Improve Military St. through to Umpqua Ave., and to construct a cutover route to Harvard Ave. Military St., however, has a grade which would be exceasive lor heavy traffic. City Attorney Paul E. Geddes suggested a course which may be followed. It would involve wid ening of Corey Ave., and Har vard Ave., and the purchase or condemnation of property at the corners at either end of Corey Ave. to provide wider turns for traffic. The Council then asked the City Engineer to prepare an es timate for the entire widening program for Corey and Harvard Aves.. as well as for separate es timates for the Improvement of el trier street. Meanwnile, parking will be eliminated from both sides of Corey. The widening of Military St., for which the Rouse and Bell hid was accepted, will be completed by Dec. 1, according to terms of the contract to be signed. Airport Zoning Planned Acting on the recommendation of the City Planning Commis sion, the Council authorized the preparation of an ordinance cre ating an airport zoning board. The board, to be created Jointly with the County, would control the construction of possible haz ards near the Roseburg Airport, which lies entirely outside the city. The board would be composed of five members two to be ap pointed by the mayor, one of whom would be a City Council member: two to be appointed by the County Court, and a fifth to be chosen as chairman by the otner lour memoers. The matter of requesting the Pacific Greyhound Lines to re vise the hours of closing at the local bus depot, ror the conven ience of passengers arriving and departing on night schedules, was brought up by Mayor Albert G. Flegel. City Manager M. W. Slankard said he had written to the district office of the Pacific Greyhound Lines at Medford and has yet re ceived no answer. The mayor said he would take the matter up with the "proper authorities." At present, the depot is open from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Paving Requested Petition of property owners on E. 3rd St., between E. 2nd Ave. S. and E. 1st Ave. S., requesting that the street be paved was re ceived by the Council. Engineer's estimates will be prepared for the project. The street Is adjacent to Roseburg Lumber Co., Union Oil Co., and Flegel Transfer and Storage. On the recommendation of the City Manager, the Council auth orized the payment of $2 each to persona who will serve on elec tion boards Inside the city, to re ceive and count city annexation ballots at the general election Nov. 2. The City Manager presented estimates for the construction of a building on the south sitle of the City Hall, which would In clude a room for the parking meter maintenance supervisor and garage for police ears. Slankard estimated the stntrtiire would cost approximately $2,300. The city attorney ruled that the money could not legally be taken from the emergency fund. Other Matter Disposed Of The City Manager also pre sented cost estimates for approxi mately 25 trash cans which would be placed at strategic loca tions on tne city streets. The cans would cost $18.90 each. They would be supplied with swivel tops for easy placement of trash within and would be lettered "City of Roseburg." The matter Has tabled. Northern Roofing Co. of Port land, which is doing business in Roseburg, was granted a waiver on the requirement that it post a bond as a temporary business here. Petition for a street light at the ocrner of E. 4th St. and Ave. A. was referred to the City Man ager. Otis Hatcher, building contrac tor asked if the City would ap prove remodeling of the Hunter building, which has been con demnefl by the Stale Fire Marsh al and must be razed. Hatcher was told that the matter would be referred to the State Fire Marshal for further recommen dation, i I he said Is to know the phone I number of the local Fire De partment, which la 99. When It can be quickly determined that 'it Is not possible to extinguish ia fire without aid, the Fire De j partment should be summoned at once, said Taylor. r WALLBOARD OF ALL KINDS PAGE LUMBER & FUEL 164 E. 2nd Ave. S.
