One writer points out where credit belongs for improved motor vehicle operation, while private land by anglers an(f I. C. Bishop, license examiner from the office of the Secretary of State, believes courtesy extended by Roseburg motorists to pedestrians results from education gained through examinations, rather He unquestionably has a point where due. We point to the fact, however, that courtesy in Roseburg is far better than found in many other Oregon cities, which indicates, we believe, that complimented for a measure of voluntary response. Jitv Bishop says: Your editorial of Sat., Aug. 13th, titled "A Nice Compli ment,'' has come to my attention. First, I wish to thank you for the publicity on courteous driving. But now we come to ths sentence, "Furthermore, the Improved condition has reeulted from voluntary action." That le where we come to ' th erossroad, so here ars a few fecta In whloh I will bs brief: 1 Two-thirds of ths present drlvsrs In Roseburg are from out of state. ' 2 To obtain an Oregon drivers licenss all persons must pass an examination on Oregon law and a drive teat. 3 Fifty percent of all original applicante In Roseburg fail soma phase of the examination about 32 percent law, , 18 percent drive. 4 One of tht questions missed most frsquently has to to do with pedstrlan right of way, and one of the large factors in failing ths drivs test is falling to give pedestrians the right of way. 5 One out of twenty are operating vehicles In Ross burg with non-valid licenses. So by the time an applicant has returned from two to ten times, as some have, they know that pedestrians do havt the right of way at intersections. As about 70 percent of tht pedestrians art drivers themselves, It shows a decided lack of courtesy on their part. Misust Of Land By Sportsmen Mr. R. A. (Al) Tcrrel writes us as follows: I recall an editorial that you published quite soms time ' ago In regard to tht opening of tht whitetail deer refuge for deer hunting and tht attltudt of some of tht ranchers In regard to refusing sntry to hunters on their property. I am ons of ths many who maintain that this privilege Is rightly ths land owner's and feel that If the so-called sports enthusiasts, who object so violently to the treatment they recsivt from tht so-called cranks would voluntarily open their lawns and front yards to us country rubes whsn ws ooms to town on our shopping trips, so ws oould have a nice, thaded, grasey place to lunoh, and for our roughneck kids to romp and play on at random, they might, after a selge or two of oleaning up and repairing after us, ssa ths reason for these littlt signs that rtads "No Hunting or Trespassing." We can agree with Mr. Terrcl as far as he goes. Disregard of property rights by some anglers and hunters is rcsponsi ble for many "No Trespass" signs. In this column lust July 16, we protested the probability that some of the landowners private shooting grounds for their friends. We said: Wt havt no quarrel with tht land owner who posts his proptrty against all-too-numerous hunters and anglers who disregard avery rule of decent behavior and havt no rttpect for property rights. Nor do ws object to tht property owner himeelf taking a legal limit of game birds or anlmale from hit own land. After all, ha has fed them and Is deserving of his kill. But ws Cj object strsnuously to ths growing practico of posting land to provide a private hunting or fishing reserve for a coterie of friends. Hunting on posted land should be confined strictly to tht owner and nont other. We still stand on that premise. Rogers' Humor Recalled On Anniversary Of Death " HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 18 m Fourteen years ago Monday, a small airplane nosed into the Icy water at Point Harrow, Alaska, carrying Will Rogers to his death, Most American adults bear a niemona of hearing that tragic news and fondly recall the gun ning Oklahoman who made the nation laugh. With the vears he is fast growing Into a U.S. legend. Hollywood, where he worked and lived in his last year, recalls him as sometimes shrewd, somi- times humble, but always Will Rogers. He claimed his epitaph could be "I never met a man I diuh't . like." But. says a former co worker, "He had no use for pho nies, and could spot 'em a mile away.'' He played polo and earned $3, 500,000 In eight years from mo vies alone, but he maintained the common touch that was his trade mark. Concerning Ms grammar, he said: "Maybe ain't ain't so correct, but I notice that Iota of folks wno ain't usin' ain't ain't eatln No one has replaced Will Roc- ers.

Smaller Military Budget Next Fiscal Year Looms WASHINGTON, Aug. lrt.-t.n A smaller budget for the military establishment is under discussion for the fiscal year starting next July 1, Secretary of Lvfense Johnson disclosed. How much smaller, he declined to say. Nor would he give any Indication of what parts of it will go to the army, navy and air force. Johnson and other top leaders of the military establishments called at the White House to talk about defense spending. Budget Director Frank Pace also sat in on today's talks. All Johnson would tell report ers was: "We a re heclnnlnir uni-k nn the new hnriVet nH we mva :ilm 'Just A Small fyMm P' Vmhnett S. Martin Ki'-JsJ Although I am most emphati cally not In favor of 'raising a baby' by slavishly following any one book, I think any young mother, or an expectant mother, might find much good In a de lightful book which I bought yes terday as a gift. It Is published by BETTER HOMES Magazine; it Is a sort of compendium of many articles published by that magazine In their child care and child welfare department. It so happens that the one to whom I sent the book has a baby Just a year old, so about a third of the book will be superfluous In that case. It seemed well worth the money for helpful Ideas for the years ahead. The price was amazingly low for so beautifully printed a book, $2.25. I know that In the days when I was raising "twins'" there were times when I found In magazines many a helpful, practical idea, despite the fact that I had served several months In maternity work, In my hospital training, and a straight nine months In children's ward, both day and night duty. The point I liked was the one stressed right In the beginning: That the schedule should be to a THEY'RE AFTER J3U5INESS Salesmen frying Many Tricks To Gef Dollars; Even Banks Using Lures By SAM DAWSON NEW YORK, Aug. 16. .Pv Salesmen are heating the hushes for customers again.

If he gets away with It, other commu nist small fry leaders will be en couraged to try. In that event, communism will become DIVIDED, and so will be more easily conquered. a a DR. Kenneth Scott Latourette, professor of missions and Oriental history at Yale, tells a Portland service club that he Is confident communism will FAIL in China and that the Chinese will work out their problems satisfac torily. BUT, he adds "It may take as long as 100 to 150 years to work it out." a a THAT Is an Interesting state ment. It servea to remind us that a lot of the things we are all steamed up about In these days ARENT GOING TO HAP PEN TOMORROW. These great swings in human history take time. a PROVERBS are Interesting things. Here Is one that bears on the point raised by the Yal professor: "Rome wasn't built in a day." It certainly wasn't. Nor did Rome rot away In a day. It took hundreds and hundreds of years to build Rome up to the point of supreme and unquestioned power in the world of that day, and it took even more hundreds of years for the Roman empire to rot away and fall apart after Its decline began. We moderns, flying around the earth in airplanes, picking up our telephones and talking to some body on the other side of the world, fall naturally into the error of thinking that every thing moves fast. So we tend to lose our perspective. The big swings of history still move slow ly. aaa WE doddering old conservatives who believe that you can't lift j yourself by your bootstraps, that j you can't vote yourself rich, that j there Is no such thing as some j thing for nothing, that wealth is produced ONLY by the applica tion of human labor to natural resources, that you can't divide what Isn't produced, view the modern tendency to rely on these fallacies with alarm and predict that if this tendency continues ; our way of life will be destroyed j and our standards of living w ill I fall. I We say: "It won't work." Whereupon those who follow these will -o'-the-wisps chortle:! j"Heh! heh! heh! It IS working : ! pretty well, isn't It?" i This answer discomforts and ; discredits us for, measured In 1 paper dollars, we ARE doing ! pretty well. Our national debt is j staggering already and getting j ; bigger, but we still eat hearty. i aaa ' IT takes a long time for a nation j to become strong and great and rich by adhering to sound, wise, j w holesome policies and It takes ; ' fully as long for It to go broke ! through abandonment of these policies. I That Is one of history's clearest lessons. j Portland Theft Orgy Confessed By Deaf Mute PORTLAND, Aug. 16. VP) A 26-year-old deaf mute astonished detectives Monday by scrawling out the details of difficult burg laries that police had though' were committed by a gang of men. He was booked on a robbery charge as Glenn Hendrickson, a native of Miles City, Mont., who worked occasionally as a kitch en helper. Detective Joe Blewett, question ing by the paper-and-pencll sys tem, said Hendrickson admitted that he alone had carried otif months of burglaries in several cities. Among the "Jobs" was the ran sacking of two downtown Port land buildings, which were gone through, office by office, last month, with glass doors smashed, and safes almost too heavy for cne man to move pushed around. "And Hendrickson isn't very big, either," said Detective Blew ett. "Just a medium-sized guy. Being deaf, he apparently hadn't any idea of the noise 'he was malting." In one burglary, the Intruder got out of the ofilee bulldine just ahead of the night watchman. None of the Portland burg, larlre yielded large sums, but among the out-of-town cases men tioned in the notes was $2,900 taken from a Denver, Colo., office building last November. Hendrickson was captured Sun day by police called to a house where neighbors had seen a prow ler. He was held under $3,000 bail. Mrs. Mable Hammond Funeral Held At Riddle Funeral services were held at Riddle today for Mrs. Mahel Hammond, who died there Fri day. Services were conducted by the Rev. Samuel Newfeldt In the Riddle Baptist church. Interment followed in the Riddle cemetery. Arrangements were by the Rose burg Funeral home.
