TWO NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG. OREGON. FRIDAY, JANUARY 28, 1949 O t' "r.' . ..4 ..W ,i tew . limn it?- : I i;V'" School Districts Reminded Of Need of Submitting Their Budgets by Feb. 1 Deadline Attempt to Oust GOP Committee Head Fails (Continued From Page One) All school district! In Douglas County which do not submit their budgets to the Rural School Board by Feb. 1 will have their budgets prepared for them. This was the announcement of Super intendent of Schools Kenneth Barneburg In explaining the pro cedure where the districts are unable to submit a budget by the deadline. Under the law setting up the Rural School Boards, all budgets from district other than lirst class are consolidated In an over all rural school budget. If the total amount exceeds the 6 per cent limitation, then the school voters must approve the addi tional amount. Barneburg explained also that in cases where an individual dis trict turns down a budget sub mitted by its board, the matter will be taken 'out of the hands of the local people, and the budget then prepared by the Rural School Board. The Feb. 1 deadline, established by law, is necessary, he said, In order that all budgets may be consolidated and an election held to vote on the amount outside the 6 percent limitation figure. Voter Requirement Told Barneburg also called attention to the new school voters eligibili ty law, which makes qualifica tions as follows: Over 21 years of age, citizen of the United States, ability to read and write the Eng lish language, resident of the dis trict six months prior to the elec tion, and be a registered voter. However, he said the law pro cedure was not set up In the bill, and must be clarified by the State Legislature. He referred specifi cally to the "registered voter" re quirement, where nothing spe cific has been established as to what constitutes a registered vot er. Since voting precincts do not necessarily correspond with school districts, there is some con fusion there. Also the bill does not specify how long a voter must have been registered. Some boards have gone to the county clerk and made copies of regis tered volers in their areas. Barne burg said he expects that the law will be clarified by the present legislature. Dances, Stunts Will Be Polio Drive's Finales (Continued from Page One) tra will furnish the music. Originally known as the Presi dent's ball, dances have been sponsored in most communities throughout the country on a date corresponding to the lale Presi dent Roosevelt's birthday. To date, according to Roseburg polio chairman Del McKay, the campaign has been lagging, and If the last period contributions are not overwhelming the entire county and city of Roseburg will fall far short of their anticipated goal.

The Umpqua River studies were start ed in 1946. Charges were hurled that the state of depletion resulted from commercial fishing and that sports anglers should not be pe nalized for destruction caused by the commercial industry. De mands were made that offshore troll for salmon be discontinued and that results on subsequent fish migrations be observed l-e-fore consideration is given fur ther reduction in sports angling.

New Storm Slows Task Of Saving Livestock (Continued from Page One) and Utah nearly half of them In Utah. More than 10,000 Navajo In dians in an area 100 miles square are threatened with the loss of their livestock, Harold E. John son, Indian service road engineer at Winslow, said last night. Johnson said more than 15,000 head of sheep are virtually help less In snow measuring 57 Inches In depth. In addition some 1,000 horses, the Indians' sole means of trans portation in the remote north west section of their vast reser vation, are imperiled. New snowstorms prevented five air force planes from flying into the worst stricken areas yes terday. A caravan of eight trucks led by a bulldozer started for Navajo Mountain School Wednesday, loaded with 18 tons of coal and 1,000 gallons of fuel oil. The party traveled only about 50 miles in more than 24 hours and at that point reported progress was slowing through giant drifts. Some 60 children are isolated at the school. Old-timers In that area fear the results of the storm on the Nav ajo economy. K. W. Richardson, a trader, said that even if the sheep survive the present emer gency, the excessive snows may bring devastating floods in the spring. The early grazing lands would then turn to mud, he said, and the livestock would sicken, dealing still another blow to the struggling Indians. Dr. E. W. Carter Chiropodist Foot Specialist 129 N.
