The enclosure is carpeted with vivid green, shaded by laufel and by oak and by stately pine; it overlooks the fair coun try which Its inhabitants knew. Its air is made fragrant by clusters of lilac, the lavender, that of old memories, too. The plot is the last home of the Davlins and Nichols, the Smiths and McGuires; the Leonards, Bolsingers and Byrons. Lying near Brockway, James Davlin gave it for the enduring use of his neigh boring friends. Well kept and serene, it is secluded but not lonely; it hints at that peace which all of us hope for but which so few ever live to attain. It proves somehow that the troubles we fret over are nothing at all in the eternity of time which eventually we gain.

Knowledge Of Geology By FRANK E. CAREY Associated Press Science Reporter WASHINGTON. IIP) You've got to have more than a pick, and shovel and a hopeful heart to go prospecting for uranium the "gold dust" of the atomic age. The Atomic Energy Commission has come out with a booklet giving some of the low-down on how to search for uranium ore the precious stuff that's used to make bombs as well as peacetime products of atomic energy. PIANOS Baldwin, Wurlititr Gulbranien Ott't Piano Dapt. Corner of Cast and Jackton Phone 1119 J PITCO S OPEII HOOSi Saturday June 11 All Day - REFRESHMENTS - Piftenger's-Pifco of Roseburg 1819 N. Stephens Highway 99 North The whole idea of issuing the booklet, says the commission, is to stimulate more .prospecting for uranium. But You've got to bone up on a little geology. You've got to be a handy-man with a Geiger counter, an instru ment for detecting radioactivity. And, it would be a big help, too, if you'd load into your mod ern covered wagon such gear as ultra-violet lamps, photographic plates or film, a metal key, an instrument called a "scintllli scope" and another called an "electroscope." All of these are aids in spot ting the pay dirt. The commission's 123-page booklet goes into detail on how to detect the stuff and how to iden tify it when you find it, but 't gives only very general informa tion on the big question: where? That's something the AEC boys would like to know themselves. $10,000 Bonus Pasted The commission has even set up a kind of jackpot to encour age modern 49-ers to get in there and dig. This is a bonus of $10, 000 "for the discovery of a new deposit and the production there from of the first 20 short tons of uranium ore . . . assaying 20 per cent or more uranium oxide." iou can Duy tne dookici ior 30 cents from the government nrintine office. Those three dimes may put you in the chips, because the AhL promises to pay a minimum price of $3.50 a pound for uranium oxide. Here s a little on tne detection tests described in case you want to start laying in equipment: A Geiger counter gives audible "clicks" when there's radioactive material nearby. But you've got to get some fairly big-league clicking before you can be cer tain tne trail is not. uosmic rays in the atmosphere can activate the instrument, too, and these may fool you. (Remember: You can't sell cosmic rays.) Pointers On Test If you find some rocks you think might contain uranium, take them into a dark room. Put a metal key on some photo graphic film and then lay the rock on top of the key. If you get an image of the key on the developed film, you may be well on your way to paying off the mortgage. Another test: If your mineral glows under ultra-violet light, you may have made a strike. The ''scintilliscope" is an In strument that produces bright flashes of light from radioactive material. The "electroscope" is a gadget that has two leaves of gold which come together in the presence of raaioactivity. You May Dig Anywhere Will an AEC cop be after you if you go searching for uranium some place other than your own property? No sir. upen to prospectors for urani um (another radioactive materi al) are the "vacant and unap propriated public lands" in the states of Arizona, Arkansas, Cali fornia, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wyoming, and the territory of Alaska. So are certain national monuments and one national park Mt. McKInley. You can even dig on your neighbor's land, if you get his permission. If you make a strike on a pub lic land and establish a claim, the commission reserves the right to go and remove the uranium or thorium itself. It says this right "protects the government from, among other things, a Mrs. E. E. Kilpatrick, Merrill; Mrs. Henry Kopacz, Hermiston, and Mrs. Robert Thomas, Port Orford. A check for $25,000 was turned over to President A. L. Strand to be held by the O. S. C. Foundation until $20,000 more is raised to build a student cooperative living group house on the O. S. C. camp us. This Azalea House, named in honor of Mrs. Azalea Sager, state leader of home economics exten sion, is to serve both as a student living center for women and as a headquarters for the state coun cil when it holds its annual meet ings. Douglas County women during the last two years have contrib uted nearly $700 toward this proj ect Mrs. John Bacon, Umpqua, has served as county Azalea House chairman. Each extension unit in the county also has an Azalea House chairman. PROMISE YOURSELF: THAT NOTHING CAN DISTURB YCUR PEACE OF MIND '- i .tv.-;'T t i ..:,.v..,,".-;--:j'.".-'?..r..

You'd get paid for any damage or Injury caused by this action and for your services of discov ery but you wouldn't get paid for the uranium or thorium the AEC removed. The AEC says, however, It would not be its policy to exer cise this right except "in case of emergency." Unemployment Jumps To New Postwar Mark WASHINGTON, June 7. ) Unemployment jumped 273,000 in May to a new postwar peak of 3,289,000. The census bureau, reporting this today, commented that "or dinarily unemployment drops Be tween April and May and the in crease this year was, therefore, contrary to seasonal expecta tions." It said one reason the number of job seekers outside of farm ing rose faster than the num ber of job opportunities was be cause school age youths turned out for summer or post gradua tion work. Because of the seasonal up swing in farming, employment moved up, climbing 875,000 In May to a total of 58,694,000 slightly above the same point last year. Death Claims Last GAR Member Of Ohio Dept.
