PICTURED here it the huge four-outlet fireplace in the lobby
of Sherwood Lodge at Yachatt, pleasant resort town of the
Lincoln county beaches. It's the only one of its kind I have
happened to see.
The lodge itself is of special interest to those of us who have
traveled the Coos Bay highway for lol these long years. The
logs forming the walls of the big hotel are the same as the ones
used in the somewhat mysterious structure which stood for so
many years on the highway near Remote and when we marvelled
at exceedingly because it never was used except for a while by
a CCC outfit in the early thirties.
Owners of Sherwood Lodge, which opened to the public last
May, are Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Sherwood Jr., Mrs. Marian Irwin
and Dr. F. I. O'Neill, the latter of Oroville, Calif. The Sherwoods
and Mrs. Irwin have active management.

In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE curtain rises In England on
what is certain to be one of
the great shows of all history.
Between now and about a year
from now Britain will decide po
litically between socialism and
modified free enterprise.
It will be a momentous decision.
Because we and the British are
of the some blood and ancestry,
we can be expected to follow the
same broad, general lines in our
thinking. What happens In Britain
within the next 12 months will in
all probability foreshadow what
will happen here later.
We shall be more than mere
spectators at an exciting and sig
nificant drama. More than we
realize, we shall be gazing during
the year that lies ahead Into a
crystal ball that holds the secret
of our own future.
We'd better watch this big show
thoughtfully and prayerfully.

KU KLUX MOB ROUTED
Mayor Of Georgia Town
Resisting Kidnap Plan.
Makes Good Use Of Gun
DONALSONVILLE, Ga., July 26. (IP) The mayor of a south
Georgia country town said today he beat off with gunfire a mob
of Ku Klux Klansmen who tried to kidnap him.
Mayor C. L. Drake of nearby Iron City said "seven or eight auto
mobiles loaded with uniformed and masked klansmen" approached
his house about 3 a. m. Sunday, July 17.
"I opened fire on them and they
scattered in a hurry," he said,
"When they shot back they were
too far away to do any harm."
Iron City is a town of about
500 persons in extreme south
west Georgia. It is about 15 miles
from the Alabama line and about
35 miles from Florida.
In Atlanta, Grand Dragon Sam
uel Green said his association of
Georgia klans does not operate
at all in the south Georgia area.
Dr. Green said he believed a
Man organization with head
quarters at Columbus, Ga., was
responsible.
Sheriff C. L. Charter of Sem
inole county said the mayor him
self had not reported the attack,
but that a relative had.

Miss Lansbury flew to London
with her fiance, a Hollywood set
designer, today. She promptly
telephoned the church to ask per
mission to be married there
where her father and grandfather
worshipped.
"The vicar was very charm
ing," said the platinum-haired
actress, "but he explained he does
not feel he can marry people who
have been divorced."
Miss Lansbury was married to
Actor Richard Cromwell in 1945,
and divorced a year later.
Miss Lansbury's ambition to be
married in Bow church stems
from the legend that a "cockney"
i3 anyone "born within the sound
of Bow's bells." She was born just
around the corner.
"I had so hoped to be married
in the church with which my fam
ily had such a strong connection,"
her grandfather, the late George
Lansbury, was a member of par
liament from the Bow district.
The Church of England, to
which the Bow church is affili
ated, frowns upon church mar
riage of divorced persons, but the
final decision is left to the bishop
of each diocese. The Rev. Ansell
said he had conferred with his
bishop before making the deci

One Man Injured
In Sideswiping
One man is In Mercy hospital
and two cars were heavily dam
aged as the result of a sideswiping
incident on the North Umpqua
highway a mile east of Glide
shortly after midnight.
According to Deputy Sheriff Ira
Byrd, who, with Deputy Dallas
Bennett and Officer Ryman of
the state police investigated, John
Meyera, Idleyld, is in Mercy hos
pital suffering head injuries, and
numerous cuts and bruises.
Meyers was a passenger with
Robert William Henry, also of
Idleyld, who was traveling gen
erally west toward Glide. The sec
ond car was operated by Roy Niel
Carmichael, also of Idleyld, travel
ing generally east.
Carmichael, who was accom
panied by his wife, Dorothy, was
cited for having no operator's li
cense. None of the others were
injured.
"It's a pretty ugly thing here,"
the sheriff said. "I don't like
it and the better class of people
don't like it.
"It started off pretty bad, but
has cooled down. I think we have
things under control."
No Arrests Made
Sheriff Chandler said no war
rants had been sworn out and
no arrests had been made.
Mayor Drake said there has
been a persistent effort to in

Sanitary
N, Roseburg
Project Calls
For $225,000
Sewerage Plant On Vets
Hospital Grounds Could
Also Serve W. Roseburg
An election to pass on a pro
pose $225,000 bond issue has
been tentatively set for Tuesday,
Aug. 23, by the North Roseburg
Sanitary district. The date was
selected in a meeting Monday
afternoon of the district's direc
tors. Clarence Landis, chairman,
said the money to be raised by
sale of the bonds would be used
solely for the construction of a
sewerage system and treatment
plant. Two sites are being con
sidered for the plant.
The district has an option for
the purchase of a site near the
Masonic cemetery, which will be
used if plans for locating . the
plant on the Roseburg Veterans
hospital grounds do not go
through.
Veterans administration offi
cials have proposed that the dis
trict erect its sewage treatment
plant on the hospital grounds, so
that the hospital's sewage may
also be treated.
Could Serve Two Districts
Dr. H. J. Haskins. manager,
said approval of a proposed lease
Is awaited from the VA's central
office. The plant would be locat
ed on the South Umpqua river,
about 800 yards below the Veter
ans hospital bridge. The VA
would then pay a fee to cover
Its share ol operation ana main
tenance of the plant.
Landis said that the proposed
West Roseburg Sanitary district
would also use the plant on the
same basis as the VA, paying us
share of operational and main
tenance costs, but otherwise
would have no connection with
the North Roseburg district.
If the district is unable to lo
cate the plant on the hospital
grounds, ana must use rne option
al site near the Masonic ceme
rerv. It would not be feasible to
also serve the West Roseburg dis
trict, Landis pointed out.

state line are to be filed against
two carnival workers arrested
here after bringing two young
girls from Bend, Ore.

young men, Froome said.
The girls left the two men
while they slept in a car.

HUSH HUSH REASON?
Soviet Explodes
A-Bomb, French
Paper Declares
PARIS, July 26. UP) A
Paris weekly newspaper claims in
its current edition that Russia has
exploded an atom bomb.
The story appeared in Samedi
Soir, a weekly noted for sensa
tionalism. According to the newspaper.
United States recording devices
showed an atomic explosion in Si
beria July 10.
This, said Samedi Soir, is the
reason President Truman called
a top-secret conference of mili
tary scientific and congressional
leaders.
'The United States," said the
weekly, "which had managed un
til now to keep monopoly of the
atom bomb and of the material
necessary for its production is in
a frightful scare since the mo
ment it knew the U. S. S. R. had
pierced the secret of the bomb."
Samedi Soir said the United
States established a listening post
in "the Arctic after being alerted
by British 'intelligence who had
received reports from Russian
refugees that the Soviets were on
the point of unlocking the secret
of the atom bomb.
Jewelry Thieves
Quickly Captured
NEW YORK, July 26. UP)
Two men fled from a Fifth ave
nue jewelry shop with $368,500
worth of gems yesterday, but
they soon lost their loot and
their liberty to a quickly-formed
posse of police and store clerks.
The pair held up a dozen cus
tomers and clerks in the Brand
Chatillon Corp. store at Fifth
avenue and 55th street.
Carrying four diamond - set
pieces, the robbers dashed into
the late afternoon crowd of shop
pers and strollers. And the chase
was on.
A pistol shot by" a toliceman,
a flying tackle by a' passerby,
some good wrestling by police
men and store clerks, and the
chase was over.
The prisoners, relieved of their
loot, were booked by police as
Joseph Qulnn, 36, a seaman, for
merly of Seattle, Wash., and
John Broderlck, 34, a salesman,
formerly of Boston.
Broderlck was brought down
by a flying tackle by a passing
salesman, William Van Zandt, 26,
who had joined In the chase.
Houston Schools May Be
Operated Entire .Year
HOUSTON, Texas, July 26.
UP) Houston may keep Its
schools open all year.
The city's school board asked
superintendent W. E. Moreland
yesterday to draft plans for keep
ing the schools open 12 months
and estimate costs.
Dr. Henry A. Petersen, a board
member, suggested the plan as an
alternative to another large bond
issue -for building more schools.
Houston's swift war growth has
crowded class rooms.
Under the year round plan each
child would go to school nine
months. There would still be a
three-month vacation. But for
some it might come in the fall,
winter, spring or even summer.

Sugar Goes On
Ship, But No
Crew On Hand
Boycott Also Waits On
Mainland, Strike Chief
At Honolulu Declares
HONOLULU, July 26. UP)
Non-union stevedores packed a
big cargo of raw sugar into a
freighter today. But the ship still
needed a crew before it could
sail with the first sugar shipment
of the 87-day CIO dock strike.
There was more to It than get
ting a fraction of the $38,000,000
sugar stockpile to mainland re
fineries. If the cargo can be de
livered, some quarters believe it
will show ' that proposed dock
seizure legislation will work.
A major bill before a special
session of the Hawaii legislature,
opening today, seeks power for
Gov. Ingram M. Stainback to
take over the islands' six strike
bound ports and to hire civil serv
ice stevedores.
The program Is opposed by the
employers and by the striking
Interna t i o n a 1 Longshoremen's
and Warehousemen's union. But
the governor has said he favored
it in the public interest.
Union officials seemed to think
the sugar shippers would lose out
in their attempt to by-pass ILWU
stevedores. The AFL crew of the
