STANTON The Roseburg: Rod and Gun Club was especially honored in the annual election by the Oregon Wildlife Federation, held in Bend last weekend, when Bruce Yeager was named state president. Because of the outstanding position of the Roseburg Club among sports organizations of the state, Federation delegates were virtually unanimous in the opinion that the state presi dency should go to a Roseburg man. The Federation, in our opinion, has made an excellent choice. ' Yeager has long been active in the work of the local clubs as well as in state organization. He is an ardent sportsman and conservationist. At the same time he has exceptional ability in leadership and is a tireless worker. He has a keen understanding of wildlife problems. One of the most im portant of his abilities is that of securing friendly coopera tion in undertakings he may promote. The Federation is undergoing reorganization, setting up executive controls through regional councils instead of through a loosely knit membership club system as in the past. Yeager, we believe, because of demonstrated ability, will prove an excellent choice to lead the new organization. The fact that the. Roseburg Rod and Gun Club has been so outstanding in its achievements that it commanded state wide recognition and honor gives cause for local pride. We are confident our pride will not suffer through any failure on the part of Yeager and the local club to justify the con fidence bestowed by the Federation. juv t-ny jw n rase- ;eiMi s,n y m n 1 wm: tAfc V Observations On Sunday Drivers When you happen upon a road you have not previously traveled, do you branch off to look over new country ami scenery? We have that habit which occasionally gets us into trouble. Traveling alone, homeward bound from tlie meeting of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers' Association at Gearhart last Sunday, we saw a paved road which, according to our map, didn't materially increase distance and traversed an area we hadn't seen previously. We've been over Highway 101 so we , tried Highway 53. Maybe you've driven Highway 53. If so, we'll offer two to one you won't voluntarily do it again ; that is if you're in a hurry. It is a beautiful road, paved, scenic like a scenic roller coaster. Uphill and down and more turns per mile than any road we've ever seen, , But, now we know 1 Sunday is a poor time to try to make speed on a major highway. One sees all kinds of drivers and driving. On crooked sections cars pile up miles deep while the guy in the lead devotes more attention to the beautiful gal at his side than he does to his one-armed driving. Then there y,as the car that came around a sharp turn during a driving rainstorm, skidded toward the bank, went off a soft shoulder and into a ditch, slid on its side for con siderable distance on tall, wet grass as slick as butter, righted itself and continued on down the road, the fool driver very grateful for more luck than he was entitled to have. We are quite sure that driving a cilr.on its side to save wear and tear on tires isn't economically practical. We hope they don't charge us too much for. fixing our fenders.

Martin j! i-j--J Editorial Comment From Tht Ortgon Prou Today'! Grad No Slouch, Ha Salem, Oregon Stntcsmnn The Capital Journal and Hie CorvalMs tiazplte-Tline hotli view with dismay a Fortune magazine poll that says only two per rent of college seniors KiadualinR this June intend to ro into business lor themselves. The editors conclude that this is one of the results of govern ment planning and the welfare state. They see signs of national aecanence in youths search for security. Nonsense. Why should the class of '-I9, touted as the most mature and responsible in U. S. college hlstoiy" be eager to assume the risk of small business ventures at a time when many new operators are going nnnitrupt and most so called wise men are predicting a business slowdown as evidenced by curtailed spending all around? And why should these graduates take the shop-worn, shalibv ideal of '.'making a million dollars" as their own? Older heads are always quick to prouch thai youth has lost the pioneer spirit, daring, vision ami self-ieliancc the previous genera tion thinks It had; or to holler that youlh is not copying the solid values, fautlon and sound common sense of its elders. Youth, to quote Its crlllcs. Is al ways either loo conservative or too radical, Actually It Is neither as a whole, one or ihe other only in some individual cases. Government planning? It Is true that many graduates owe their' educations to the (il bill. But that they finished college at all is some Indication of their calibre. Manv of them depended on Ihe individual enterprise of their working wives to pay the food and housing bills. Many of them were freshmen ten years ago. The war Interrupt ed, all right, and maybe some of them were bijter when thev left the armed forces. Hut few of'them pinned on that discharge button conditioned to regimentation" as one editor would have us think On Ihe contrary, they were sick of iiana lastingly prejudiced against Starting In business takes more than brains and willingness to grab while Ihe grabbin's good. K takes money. And the capital assets of many graduates prob ably amounts to little more than a mortgaged used car, a radio, some bonks and Ihe baby's ulav pen. Starting at the bottom is nothing new, although one editor regarus with disdain the stu dents' willingness to work for someone else. How manv cap tains of Industry and tycoons of finance began I heir careers by leaping into Wall Street with a diploma In one hand, a bank roll In the other, and dollar signs in their eyes. Chances are there were more signs of decadence In the Hoarlng Twenties when inzv. ovcr-cnnfC dent cnllegiates with n bottle of prohibition moonsbineonthe-hip were swarming around, leady to gouge Ihelr first million. In contrast to that, a group of seniors at Ihe University of Ore gon recently requested that the orator at their commencement make "no comments on our sterl ing character," sling no line about the cruel cruel world." but in stead tell them "what can we do to repay society for our educa- lion" and "what can we grads do as a service to the community." In Irving to find some secin liv in someones employ while he works out his "debt to socletv." today's sober-minded. Idealistic graduate -born In "normalcy." bred In depression and matured In war- may he playing it safe. And maybe the "nil knowing'' elders could take a lesson from him. A . box of lovely toys was opened by two parents who were Inost enthusiastic over the con tents. Which thing did one baby choose? The spool which his grandmother had "painted with the colors of my new breakfast rooM so you can see how It looks!" For months that sKol was one of his prized possessions. He would roll it ahead of him and, since he "crept" by hitching himself along in a sitting posi tion, he would follow that way after Ihe spool. Nothing would do but "Ihe ba bies must have an Easier egg hunt," so Daddy took one, and Mother the other, and there was a lot of fun. The next day six dozen eggs came from Ihelr grandparents. The eggs disap peared out of the aluminum car rier. Where? To make nn Easter egg hunt tor Daddy and Mother! We didn't dare sit or step until we had as many eggs as came In the carrier, for these "Easter eggs" were not boiled and were In some strangely unusual places. Daddy's arrival each afternoon was the day's great event. But one lime as he came In the front door he stopped suddenly, a pe culiar expression taking the place of his welcoming smile. He stopped stock still. Bent over and turned back the rug. Neatly laid edge to edge were eight or 10 records. Fortunately he had broken only about four! One baby was discovered "eat ing something" when nothing had been given to them. Investi gation suggested crackers. "Crackers" was n the grocery list. Come to think of it, if Daddy had not been having cheese and cracker snacks, that last box had gone very quickly! "Give Mother a cracker, please?" discovered the cache also neatly laid under a rug. There was the time the baby walker 'stuck' In the door through which an energetic baby wished to progress. He backed up, went for the door determined ly, and again Ihe walker stuck. Hut he didn't. He flew out of it, and shot across the tiled bath room floor, wedging his head un der the tub! And I do mean wedged. He j-oared hut he was none the worse for Ihe perform ance. He got through the door anyhow! (Stories any mother can match!)

The way to get along with Com munist Russia is first to inspire in her a healthy respect for our toughness, resourcefulness and hitting power.

Judith Coplon acknowledged Tuesday that she had gone to hotels in Baltimore and Phila delphia and spent tne night in a room with a man. This testimony in Miss Coplon's espionage trial set off an uproar and federal Judge AiDen l.. Reeves told her mother she would have to leave unless she quieted down. She remained In the court room. Miss Coplon also testified that she had visited the man's apart ment, presumably in Washington, during February. When John M. Kelley Jr., a government prosecutor, asked whether Miss Coplon had spent the night of Jan. 7 in Room 412 in the Southern Hotel in Balti more with a man who registered them as Mr. and Mrs. Shapiro, Miss Coplon screamed: "That's a damn He. Why are you doing this in front of my mother?" She admitted that she spent the following night in a hotel room with the same man in Phila delphia. When Kelley asked whether they spent the two nights "in fornication," Miss Coplon scream ed that this was not true. Kelley led the questioning into the defendant's personal life after she had testified that Valen tine A. Gubitchev told her at their first meetine that he was nntl. Soviet and wanted to become an American citizen. She said she did not sleep at all In the Baltimore hotel hut that she might have slept a little in the Philadelphia hotel. Kelley then asked Mlse Coplon whether she spent New Year's Eve with the same man. She shouted that she did not. Answering other questions by Kelley, she said she "spent the time with him" In his apartment the night of Feb. 17. The cross-examination began when the defense completed ap proximately 12 hours testimony. STAYS AT WILLAMETTE SALEM, June 22. r- Dr. Raymond A. Withey, dean of stu dents at Willamette University, said Tuesday he won't accept the position of chancellor of Ne braska Wesleyan College.

Famed Alaskan Airman, Crosson, Dies Suddenly SEATTLE, June 21. ' - (.V) Joe Crosson, one of the most famed Alaskan pilots, died sud denly Tuesday in his office at Seattle's Hoeing Field. He was one of the first of the famed Alaska "hush pilots" who flew mercy mission;) to the wide ly scattered and isolated spots In the Northland. In l!Vi', he flew Ihe bodies of Will Rogers and Wiley Post to Seattle from Point narrow after they were killed In a rrash of Post's plane. Between 1fl,H and 1M-4 he was Alaska division manager for Pan- American Airways. He resigned In 1D4-1 and moved to Seattle to manage the Northwest Air Serv ice at Boeing Field. He Is survived by his wife and four children. Crosson was associated with Ben Eielson, "father ot Alaskan aviation," early in his flying ca reer. In 1930, Crosson searched for Elelson's missing plane, which was lost on a Siberia flight. Cms son found the wrecked plane and recovered Eielson's body. In 1027 Crosson was a pilot with the Wilklns Arctic expedi tion. The following two years ho went with Wllkins to the Ant arctic. He was one of the first airmen to cross the treacherous Endicott Range on a flight to Point Barrow. AUL ROBESON (noted Ameri can singer) tells a Harlem audience in New York that he "loves the Soviet people more than any other nation." That is his Individual right, and if he feels that way H Is nobody else's business. My personal sug gestion; however, would be that if he is sincere in what he says he ought to move to Russia. Otherwise, he will expose him self to Ihe suspicion that he is re maining In America because he CAN MAKE MORE MONEY HERE. That wouldn't sit well with his Communist principles. G OVERNORS of our states. gathering lit Colorado Springs for the 41st annual governors' conference, are talking to the re porters before getting down lo the real business of the session. What they are saying Is interesting. Adlal E. Stevenson, new Demo cratic governor of Illinois, says he thinks the states would better set Ihelr own houses In order be fore quarreling about federal aid. He asserts: "Government Is loo expensive at all levels. We need economy from the township up to Wash ington. But until we can do a bet ter Job In government at local and state levels we ought not to be damning federal Interference at Ihe same time we are asking for more federal funds." Credit For Bible School At Green Is Corrected The Bible School at Green was not conducted by the Conservative j Baptist Church, as stated in the cullines of a picture appearing in last Thursday's News-Review. i The Green Community Sunday school is interdenominational, and Miss Bernlce Iser Is the village , missionary, it is explained. Be cause the Conservative Baptist Church had no place to hold vaca tion Bible School, the Green Community Sunday School in vited its children to attend. Thei invitation was accepted and r group went out by school bus each day. i ' FROM THE NEWS OF 40 YEARS AGO In 1519 Coiiez Invaded Mexico, conquered Montezuma, and se; up a kingdom. I can't get away from that. G OVERNOR DUFF, of Pennsyl vania, complains about too much Washington interference in administering reilef and other i programs. Well, thfe man who puts I up the money is always going to have a big say.ln the spending of it. That's something else you can't I get away from. G T MAT is good common sense. As long as we go on yelling for more federal money for our states and communities, we will have extravagant federal spending. You OVERNOR WARREN, of Cali fornia, chips into the discus sion with the statement that he doesn't think federal aid can be cut until some definite agreement Is reached to give the states a bigger bite of lax collections. "When you get down to cases," he says, "and try' to decide who Is going to give up what In the way of taxes, that's when the difficulties begin." This is his point: ! Back in the early 30's, the fed eral government was taking . about 25 cents out of the total tax dollar. Now It takes out about , 75 cents. As long as that con tinues, there won't be money , enough teft for the needs of local government.
