Newspaper Page TextNEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, MONDAY, JANUARY 3, 1949 TWO 3 1 i 4 jf! J. s O I?-;-..-. Air Chief Ends Gripes of GSs At British Airport U. S. AIRFORCE BASE AT BURTONWOOD, England, Jan 3. UP Gripes from American Gls at this big aircraft depot won yesterday a firm promise of bet ter living conditions soon. Airforce officials here disclosed that Secretary for Air S'uart Symington before leaving for home had allocated an extra $100,000 to make that promise good. With It went Symington's blunt declaration that he will be back In late February to see that con ditions have improved "and I expect you," he told air officials here "to back me up." Behind the promise was the story of Symington's arrival here, where airforce mechanics work night and day to keep the Berlin airlift planes flying. He found a base restless with bad morale, with grumbling which threatened efficiency in re pairing and overhauling the transport planes. Symington acted promptly. He called a meeting of the Gls. He asked them, in effect: "What goes Joes, let me know your woes." He told them to write down their complaints anonymously If they chose. They did. A bushel basket of them. They followed a pattern. Not enough heat in the Nlssen huts in which they are sheltered. Dr. E. W. Carter Chiropodist Foot Specialist 12S N. Jackson Phone 1170 Over Rexall Drug Store No carpet or matting on the ce ment floors. Too little light to read by night. Filthy sanitation. Bad cooking in some cases. Symington rounded up Ameri can airforce officials In Britain and laid down his instructions for a quick remedy. They've scouled around the ma terial for the work that needs doing. Now that they have the money to pay for it, the work will be underway within a few days. Things should be looking up for Gls soon. Kiwanis Club To Handle Canvass In March of Dimes Future projects were discussed at length at the weekly Lions Club meeting Thursday night in the Hotel umpqua. Del McKay, Rnsehurg chair man for the March of Dimes, re ported on the forthcoming cam paign. He announced that (he Ki wanis Club had agreed to handle the solicitation this year. This has been done in the past by the Lions. The part the Lions could take In the campaign was discussed but no action was taken. McKay reported that there were 30,000 cases of polio In the United States this past year, and that the foundation had exhausted most of Its res)urces. He said that In Douglas County alone there were eight cases during the fall. Care of polio victims does not end with hospitalization and immediate medical care, but may continue for many years to come. This Is largely responsible for the drain on the I'unds. Also, he said, considerable Is spent on research Into the cause and treat ment of polio. A directors meeting was called for 7 a. m. Tuesday, Jan. 4, in Umpqua dining room.

Fewer Acres Of Seed Certified; Clover Group Up Acreages of 70 crop varieties, passed for certification in 1948 under state seed and plant certifi cation standards, dipped from a high of 70,396 acres in 1947 to 50, 750 acres this year, H. E. Finnell, OSC extension certification spe cialist states. Reason for the drop in acreage is accounted for largely by poor planting weather In the fall of 1947 and during the spring months of 1948. Markets also re acted unfavorably for some cer tified crops, notably Hannchen barley, Finnell reports. As a crop family, the clovers were the only group to exceed their 1947 acreage totals. Seven clover varieties included In the certification program totaled 9, 491 acres this year a compared with slightly more than 7,000 acres passed a year ago. Certified Ladino clover continues to hold the top position among the clovers with a total of 5662 acres this year. The acreage of the new Ken land variety red clover is slowly increasing. This year 62 acres of the crop were passed for certifica tion. Finnell states the acreages of certified Midland and Cumber land variety red clovers were well over their 1947 acreage totals. Certified grasses, which Include ryegrass, the fescues, bents and others, totaled 27,595 In 1948. This is about 4000 acres below the acreage of 1947. The fescues as a group, however, did exceed their 1947 acreage largely as a result of Increased market demands for those seeds. Twenty-four oereal crops Includ ed in the certification program dipped 5,000 acres from 1947 to a total of 6104 acres in 1918. Big gest drop was in Hannchen bar ley. It slipped from 7,234 acres In 1947 to 3,490 acres this year. The acreage of certified Willa mette vetch fell 7.000 acres in 1918 to 2727 acres. With Increased demand, Finnell expects this loss to be regained in 1949. Plywood and Wallboards PAGE LUMBER & FUEL 1G4 E. 2nd Ave. S.
