STANTON The Roseburg Business and Professional Women's club is carrying on an extensive educational campaign as a part of National Business and Professional Women's Week. We know of no organization having a better right to boast of its purposes and accomplishments, for B. P. W., both na tionally and locally, has carved for itself an important place in business, economic and social fields. B. P. W. is an organization composed of women actively engaged in business and professional activities. Its member ship, by embracing such a large cross section of working women, has available information touching on virtually every important issue. Efforts are made to disseminate this information to all members, thus producing a high degree of understanding and intelligence. Although B. P. V., because of its large membership and closely knit organization, could be one of the nation's strongest pressure groups, this power is seldom used. Never to our knowledge has it been used for selfish purposes, al though it has been exercised in an advisory manner in the field of national legislation having to do with public wl- fare. The Roscburg club has been organized since 1921. From a very modest beginning, it has developed to include more than 80 members. The membership rolls are kept active and individuals must justify their membership by partici pation and cooperation. From its very beginning, the Roseburg B. P. W. club has been a "service" organization. It has aggressively in terested itself in civic affairs particularly those having to do with public benefit, such as parks, playgrounds, swim ming pool, tennis courts, juvenile delinquency, etc. It has carefully avoided the dictatorial attitude, but, on the other hand, has at all times shown willingness to assume difficult civic tasks shunned by many other groups because of the amount of work involved. And it must be said, to the credit of the Roseburg club, that seldom, if ever, has it failed in successfully completing any civic task to which it set its hand, regardless of obstacles. The Roseburg club, we are informed, has 16 very active committees, all functioning efficiently. The legislative committee ascertains that every member of the club, eligible to vote, is properly registered. Com mittees on equal rights, public affairs and international re lations, keep members fully informed on current affairs and issues. As a result, club members go to the polls to vote intelligently. On congressional issues it has urged rati fication by the U. S. of the Covenant on Genocide, the North Atlantic treaty, the extension of the European Conserva tion Act, and the adoption of the Hoover commission report. The health and safety committee cooperates with local authorities and other groups in protective activities. The Veterans hospital committee carries on a yenr-around program of entertainment and help for veterans at the Roseburg hospital. The B. P. W. maintains a scholarship loan fund available to help responsible young women wishing to complete their schooling, together with an oriental scholarship functioning under the international relations program. j The Roseburg club, very early in its organization, raised funds for the city's first public tennis court. It purchased land, built the court and fences, then donated the recrea tional installation to the city. The club still assists in the cost of maintenance. Relationships locally are cemented between emploves and employers at an annual "Bosses Dinner." Club revenues, in addition to membership dues, come ! from the annual Thanksgiving dance which the group has sponsored for many years. The organization maintains a standing invitation for busi ness women to become members and membership is to be recommended as a matter of self-education and self-help. Republicans Deride Democrats' Claim Of "Remarkable Record" j Sy JACK HELL . I WASH'NGTON, Oct. 12. (.B While Home claims that the; democratic Slst congress has set a "rather remsrkahle record" has ' drawn republican disagreement. Senator Brewster ol MHine, chairman of the republican senatorial campaign commiltce, expressed his party's line. He told reporters about the only thing the democrats have to brag about in the current session Is the passage of foreign policy laws that the "republicans helped put over." i ' Six Douglas Prisoners Taken To Stare Prison Six prisoner! were removed from the Douglas county Jail to the Oregon Slate penitentiary Tuesday. The list Included: LeRoy Martin Burnham, lar ceny of an automobile, one year; Willie Welton Hughes, same charge, five yeara; Quentin Cecil Wilbur, same charge, three years; Carroll Welton Hughes, kame charge, five yeara; Robert D.

I.V) The Agriculture department an nounced Tuesday it was ready to begin purchases of Pacific North west apples, currently in market distress. A limit of 247 cars, to be pur- ' chased at S1.70 a bushel for I. S. No. 1 or better, was set for the I month of October. ! W. J. Broadhead, field represen tative of the Agriculture depart ment, said 200 carloads would be bought in Washington, 25 in Idaho and 22 in Oregon. He said buving probably would begin next week, mostly of .'onathan and Delicious varieties, j Broadhead said additional pur chases would be made later, but their size probably would not be known until November.

He said Governor Douglas Mc Kay would be issued No. 1, the first time a governor ever has had this number. Newhry will get No. 2. and State Treasurer Wal ter Pearson will receive No. 3.

Martin K if It was a hook-like, gold plated gadget, a gift from California that day, designed to clip on a counter or table and. act aa a hanger for milady's handbag. Mr. Algernon Bitwuns shook his head as he looked at it. "Think you can find room for one more thing In that bag of yours? Well," and he grinned, remembering, "It isn't as heavy as a hammer anyhow." Mrs. Bitwuns laughed, too, re membering that evening In church, some years ago, when she had opened her bag for some thing, and Mr. Bitwuns had spit ted a small hammer in her purse. There was a good reason for Its being there; Mrs. B had used It to save Jabbing her thumb when she posted some new notices on the church bulletin board. She thought nothing of It until Mr. B reached into her bag and drew forth the hammer. Now Mr. B didn't precisely brandish the hammer as one might a lethal weapon; but he did hold It, for a moment, with a wicked gleam in his green eyes, before he replaced it. Suddenly Mrs. B was seized by a deplorable desire to laugh, even if she was in church. The harder she tried to remain serious, the less auccesr sh had. This pleased Mr. B, of course. Maybe he was thinking of the wifely nudge he had received 1 a few minutes before when he was quite unaware that he was Jingling keys in his pocket? But Mr. B was surprised to dis cover that the lady on the other, s-tjaai of him was also showing slg4sV of uncontrollable mirth i Now Mrs. J was of the most digni fied demeanor, the personifica tion of decorum not only In church but elsew here. Her friends sometimes found her perfectionist tendency even a little trying at times. Mrs. J was by no means small of stature either. So when she shook with the laughter she was struggling to control, and her face became bright red, and tears trickled down her cheeks, Mr. B was so surprised he smiled ... A stifled moan came from Mrs. J; a choked gurgle from Mi s. B, and Mr. B joined right in with a downright snort on his own ac count. . . Faces turned their way . . . after church there was a converg ing upon the now quite serious adults: "What on earth ?" Mr. B had only to produce the hammer from Mrs. B's bag, and again there was laughter. You see, the newspapers Just then were full of details about a lady who had used a hammer as a lethal weapon!

The political process Is so old that the word is actually in the dictionary, which defines It thus: "To gerrymander: To divide a state, county, etc., Into election districts or other civil divisions in an unnatural and unfair way so as to give a political party an advantage over Its opponent." s THE word takes it origin from Governor Klbrldge Gerry, of Massaehuscls, whose party, back In 1H12, divided Essex county, Mass., up Into a DRAGON SHAPED district whose bound aries were so drawn as to take in all the areas populated hy Gerry 's cohorts and to LEAVE OL'T the areas that were antagonistic to him and his crowd. THE founding fathers wrestled long and bitterly over this same issue.

The battle finally ended In a I compromise w ith member of the House of Representatives elected according to population and mem- j bers or tne senate according to states each state having two senators REGARDLESS of popu lation. s BECAUSE of this compromise, the West has been able to hold its own against the heavily popu lated East. I think nearly every one in the West will agree that WITHOUT THE SENATE we of the Far West would NEVER have been able to make the gains we have made. Without the Senate (whose members are elected by STATES, regardless of population we would never have been able to get reclamation of our arid lands, which is the foundation upon i w hich the growth of the West has been built. ass THE East ISNT ARID. It doesn't need reclamation of arid land. It DOESN'T WANT IT. I It has always fought It. I think it Is safe to say that If Congress had been dominated by the heavily populated Eastern states the wide-open spaces of the West would still be populated by Jack rabbits and coyotes. I HAVE such confidence In the! sound thinking and the political integrity of the people of Oregon j that I believe even the heavily- j populated Willamette valley w ill be against this scheme as a mat-j ter of fundamental principle. I am sure that Eastern Oregon ' and Southern Oregon will he' against It.
