FOREST SERVICE CAMP FEES Plans to collect a small fee from campers and picnickers using the Wolf Creek camp on Little River, starting in July, are being made at the local office of the U. S. Forest Service. Wolf Creek camp, the largest and most widely used of the many recreational sites in the Umpqua National Forest, will be the only camp in the Umpqua forest where fees will be collected. Campers will be charged 50 cents per night or $3 per week for a party of not more than six adults. The charge for picnicking will be 25 cents per day per car party of noc more than six adults. No charge will be made for children under 12 years of age for either camping or picnicking. It is the present plan to install a permittee at the Wolf Creek camp who will be allowed to collect and retain fees in return for keeping the area clean, disposing of garbage, maintaining improvements and furnishing firewood. He will be required to take out liability insurance to protect the government and camp users. Wolf Creek camp is one of 12 camps selected from among the more than 1,100 National Forest campgrounds in Oregon and Washington to be placed on a charge basis this summer. Some, like Wolf Creek, will be maintained by permittees, but others will be served by Forest Service attendants. Some criticism has been heard concerning the announced plan to set up certain camps where fees for use will be col lected. The fact that these camps are built with public funds on 'public lands causes many people to feel that no charge should be made for their use. On the other hand, Congress has repeatedly urged that recreational use of National Forests should bring in some revenue to offset in part the cost of constructing, maintain ing and administering forest recreational facilities. Yielding to congressional pressure, the Forest Service experimented last year with a few camps in California. It was found, according to published reports, that the public appeared to prefer the pay camps to the free camps because of the services which accompanied the fees. If the public will accept pay camps, the Forest Service will be in a position to utilize receipts to install more improvements. It is the present intention, officials report, that charges for use shall be made only at well improved camps and that a majority of sites shall be maintained for use without charge. The Wolf Creek camp has about 10 campsites, a large picnic area, playground equipment, running water, flush toilets, fii'e circle, and facilities for both group and individ ual picnicking. The camp is usually well filled each weekend during the summer months and is used especially by organizations. i Picketed Mr xYv . mm To MY CAMPAIGN A News-Review Anniversary Last June 1 Tht News-Review officially started operation of its 16-paga uni-tube press, eliminating one of its most serioug production bottlenecks. Sinca that date many changes have been made In The News-Review, including different page styling, tighter edit ing, increased news gathering facilities, additional comics and features, more local photography, etc. Because wa grow accustomed to change quito quickly we do not always realize the extent or nature of advancement. Just for our own amusement we went back into the records of The News-Review for the first five months ol 1918, when we were still using the old flat-bed press, and made a comparison with the first five months of 19 10. We thought our roaders might be interested in some of those findings. For instance, you received 37 per cent more pages in your daily News-Review from January through .May this year than you had in the same period of 19 IS. You were furnished more than twice as many news stories, both local and from the Associated Press wire, due to an editorial policy of cutting long stories and printing more short articles. You have been given more than twice as much sport news, more markets and considerably more news from the county in general. Comic strips and panel cartoons have been added. Local photography has been growing steadily in volume. News-Review advertisers have used considerably more display advertising space and you have shown your interest by responding to their suggestions and sales efforts so that, because our advertisers have had good results, The News-Review has consistently led Oregon news papers in the rate of advertising lineage gains. And so today a sort of anniversary around our office and shop we again express our appreciation to our large and rapidly growing family of roaders and to our advertisers. Benefits Await Vets Who Served With Canadians Some Oregon residents who served In the Canadian milled forces dining World War II are eligible for war service gratuities and re-establishment credit pro vided hy the Canadian govern ment, but have not yet applied for them. Clifford Fields, veterans admin Istration representative at Hnso burg, said today this was Indi cated in word to the VA from the Canadian department of veterans a I fairs. These benefits are not col j leetible In cash, but may be of substantial value in other ways, fields staled each day overseas and lesser al lowances, lie establishment credit is approximately the same. On the latter benefit, eligible who live In the United States may use it only to buy veterans' Insur ance In Canada. Inquiries may be sent to the Canadian department of veterans affairs at Ottawa, Canada. Viahnett S. Martin Several weeks ago the question was asked "In the Day's News": How do you feel about it? If the showdown came, would you tamely submit to Russian communism? Or would you prefer to fight for what you've got? That's the $64 question. About that time I read "The Audacity of Faith," by Dr. Glenn Hunter (Harper & Bros. 1949). Because the book had been of fered me by a friend, one who had known Dr. Hunter well for many years, I read It with mote than usual Intercut. It was, to me, a most extraordinary book! So when I was In Los Angeles recently I talked with Dr. Hun ter for perhaps a half-hour. And asked him the question pro pounded by the writer of "In the Day's News" and a lot of other questions. Dr. Hunter did not quibble, or dodge or evade; he was thoroughly sincere, as one would, of course, assume a clergy man would be. He backed up pleasantly ana firmly, In his sjioken words exactly what he had written In his book. May I quote a paragraph? "Let us grant that If we risked every thing for peace instead of for war, we might be invaded. Our women might be attacked, our children enslaved . . . The people as a whole might be physically degraded, crushed, wiped ut. But something redemptive might happen Instead. . ." Dr. Hunter believes that If he does not lift a finger In defense of himself or his family, but trusts to "the goodness of God," they will be "protected." His con viction is such that he said he was prepared to go to jail for It, or to lose his "job" (pastorate of a Hollywood church). He con cedes that he is one of a "minor ity" but "there must be leaders." He reiterated that he believed he would be "betraying his country" If he acted otherwise than to re fuse to defend It by physical means. He is, If I understand the term correctly, a Pacifist, who is firmly against even preparation for defense of this country. Well, Mr. Jenkins, there's one answer to your "$64 question." in the Day s News (Continued from Page One) LETTERS to the Editor Two Glendale Residents Injured In Accident Two Clcnd.ile reisdents were taken to a llrants l'ass hospital, when their automobiles collided head-on Saturday morning.

Swimming Suit Making Easy Task, Says Writer ROSEBURG With the oix-n- ing of the Koseburg swimming pool and tne shortage nt swim suits In mind, 1 am enclosing in structions for easily making chil dren's swim suits and trunks at Home. I made suits like these for mv children when they were small, and they looked very cute in them and found them most sat isfactory and comfortable. It would be too bad If young sters were to be denied the train ing and pleasures available to them because they had no swim suits and their parents could not a I ford to get them. I originally read about this idea many years ago and was always so grateful. naming suits for children uu to 10 or 12 years can bp made In a few minutes either with the sewing machine or with an oyer and over stich hy hand out of old cotton or wool stocking tops. Reinforced tops make the body of the trunks when slit to crotch length and sewn together. A hive to four-Inch square double piece of material is sewn into the crotch. For neat appearance, lens on trunks should lie cut quite short and hemmed. For T-shirts, slit two stocklm- tots the length of the skirt. Sow together for underarm seams. Leave open six Inches at top for armhole, putting hem at bottom of shirt. Cut neckline Just laive enough for Head to go through. and hem shoulder, neck and sleeve openings. Stocking tops may h used with two straps to make nice bandeaux for girls. MKS. A. T. KKRR, Rt. 2. Box -t-'J, liosehurg, (.ire. Thrift More Important Than Higher Income ROSEBURG It's mv convic tion, and recollection, that a man Is not old at 60 if he has a g,vn constitution and good habits. The average length of hip has was a generation or two ago. Likewise, a man's years for effi cient service have Increased. Many persons have done their best work after the age of 60 or even 70 years. For example, my friend Alonzo Stagg, received the award of Football Coach of th? Year when he was 81. and is still act i vp as assistant coach of a college team at 86. It's my conviction that the av erage American does not need higher wages or higher income as much as he needs a habit of thrift. I notice that the Amer ican people put more money into savings accounts so far this year, after incomes began to drop slightly, than they did in the same period of last year when incomes were at their peak. We might well afford to follow Her bert Hoovers advice and "eat simple food, wear simple cloth ingand, in short, live the sim ple life." And, here's hoping that our Congress and our President put into effect the principles of the Hoover Commission and cut out some of the needless waste In the cost of our federal gov ernment. It's my opinion that the group of workmen who are redecorat ing the exterior of the Kohl hagen Apartments are doing a neat Job. I see that they go to work at 7:30 a. m so get out a little earlier in the evening. I don't Imagine they set their watches a half-hour ahead of standard time. Just setting the alarm a little earlier would do the trick. I read somewhere that clocks were Invented, replacing the sundial, to Indicate the time of day. That should mean the real time. THE MAN WITH THE HOE. Roseburg, Ore. Soviet Practice Fire Plan Draws Pretests The they BERLIN. May 31. U1 Russians have announced will begin summer army and air maneuvers Immediately and will no? accept responsibility for al lied aircraft flying over "danger aivas." The Russian announcement to American authorities said aid to ground fire will be conducted by their airplanes In the Bueckebprg air corridor to Berlin. British and American officials protested that such firing would "No one," he replies, "has the right to question any man's po litical or religious beliefs. A man should be judged on his actions and not on the basis of member ship In any organization." TRUE enough. This ALSO is true: Any American who is ashamed or afraid to admit membership In a political or other organization admits at the same time that there is a screw loose somewhere. Personally, I wouldn't be a Communist if I were ashamed to admit it. THE other disponsed-wlth pro fessor denounces what he calls "control of education by big busi ness" and cites the number of businessmen on college trustee boards. Both refuse to discuss questions about academic freedom in Communist-dominated countries. Draw your own conclusions. IN New York seven members of a stick-ball team ("stick-ball" is a street game played with broom sticks and rubber balls) are ar rested in connection with the gang slaying of a rival ball player. It came about this way: In a game this week a ball batted by a member of one team hit a member of the other team in the face. A scuffle followed. The "scuffle" was resumed later in the day. In the progress of it five shots were fired, one of which hit an innocent passer-by in the neck and sent him to the hospital in a serious condition. It seems to have gone on from there. NOTE: That's a good way NOT to play stick-ball. IN Istanbul, Turkey, a Turkish soccer team plays a Greek soccer team. The Greeks lick the Turks. A ruckus follows. The ruckus spreads from the teams to MOBS. All In all, the dispatches report, it ends up as the worst outburst of Turkish feeling against Greece in a quarter of a century. FURTHER note: That's a good way NOT to play international soccer. A GOOD rule to follow: If you can't be a sportsman In the full sense of the word, you'd better stay out of sports.
