2 Tht New.-Review, Roieburg, Ore. -Mon., Aug. T, 1949 James Brinks Is Douglas County's Bee Inspector With fund appropriated by the last legislature now available to inspect honeybees for the pur pose of eliminating disease, par ticularly American foulbrood, James Brinks ot Oakland has been appointed bee inspector lor Douglas county. He is an ex perienced beekeeper and will cov er his territory as fast as time and. weather conditions permit. A. Burr Black, state supervisor of apiary Inspection for the Ore gon department of agriculture, says thftt because Inspection was held up this season until appropri ated funds became available, bee disease has become serious n some localities.. He urges that beekeepers give the local Inspector full coopera tion In. locating outbreaks of di sease so the situation may be cleaned up for the protection of other bees In the area. There are no fees for inspection. However, the bees must be registered with the state. Owners of bees not registered are subject to penal ties outlined In the Oregon api ary law, which the apiary in spector Is charged with enforc ing. Officials feel that with the active cooperation of beekeepers edthe diseases of bees will be re duced to the point no bees may be kept without much danger of losing them from foulbrood. They jtresa the fact that bees are needed In this area to pol linlze the cherries and melons and that this phase of the bee industry is even more important financially to the district than the honey produced.

Catholics Hit ly New Decree In Romania (Continued From Pag One) Union in the past two weeks for an extended stay. . The best known of the Roman Ian orders dissolved by today1 Bucharest decree is the French order of St. Vincent de Paul. The orders are devoted to chanty, hospital and social work among Roman Catholics. The Roman Catholic church has been under attack for some time in Romania, as in other eastern European countries.

The 202-page report made no reference to current discussions concerning American -Canadian relations in the atomic energy field. And a member of the commis sion's staff said the report's ref erence to the newly-found domes tic unamium resources had no connection with recent specula tion concerning Amerlcan-Bri-tinh-Canadlan relations. One report growing out of the recent Blair house meeting of American atomic and other offi cials was that AEC Chief Lilien thal feared a cut-back in our sup plies of uranium from Canada and the Belgian Congo unless we shared atomic secrets with the British and the Canadians.

It almost always rains In Wayensburg on July 29. But Fri day, for the sixth time In 72 years, there was nary a drop of mois ture. Everyone waited for It all day long. And no one waited for a rain cloud more eagerly than Attor ney John M. Daily, official "rain maker" for this little western Pennsylvania community of 8,-500. Daily has a traditional bet with Vince Johnson, Pittsburgh (Post Gazette) newspaper columnist that when the 29th day of July rolls around, there'll be rain in Waynesburg. Daily lost his hat to Johnson for the second straight year, but Rainmaker Daily didn't give up through the whole sunny day. At nightfall he even talked the city council Into ordering day light saving time suspended for an hour at midnight. That gave him 25 hours to save his hat and the old Waynesburg tradition. But It wasn't enough. I m dog tired and discourag ed," said Daily. "People have been kidding me a lot why I ve had phone calls from all over the country. Daily had plenty ot support during his fruitless ratn vigil. Some 3,000 persons crowded bor ough streets in a last minute " rain carnival. But tney joinea Daily in paying off debts at midnight. Daily called tne rainless aay a temporary bad break." "Sure," he said. "I'll take all comers next year we'll have a downpour." Coal Representatives From Japan Visit U. S. SEATTLE, Aug. 1.

A spokesman said they were travel-weary but felt the tour l.as been a profitable one. The acting mayor and a group of business men met them at the airport gram until congress can assure itself that western Europe has evolved a detailed plan for mili tary coordination, cooperation and unit. Marshall said he does not be lieve there will be any difficulty getting the benefitting nations to cooperate. He said he thinks "the formal conclusions ' for coopera ion have been reached already.
