Ik D M Oilill, Orf r Mall t iu DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME By CHARLES The Roseburg- city council It proposes, however, that faster time shall be adopted only if neighboring cities concur. Consequently it is making its proposals known to neighboring municipalities, planning to base final decision on majority It is to be hoped that fast time shall be adopted generally or not at all. The mess created by having one locality on advanced time and another on standard time is confusing. to say the least. We recall last year making nated hour in a nearby city kept the gentleman waiting an hour. We had not taken into account the fact that his community was on daylight saving time, while Roseburg was on standard time. Time changes, unless uniform, upset radio program ming, train, bus and plane schedules, etc. Business opera. tions are complicated when fering time. Personally, we like daylight saving time. On the other hand, many people prefer standard time and object to changing clock time. But whether we like or dislike the practice of advancing clock time during summer months, the fact remains that whatever course we take should be uniform and not spotty. We anticipate that the practice of moving business operations ahead an hour during summer seasons eventually will become standard. It is possible, however, that this may finally be done without changing clock time. Business simply will open and close an hour earlier. That daylight saving time shall be generally practiced is almost certain, we believe, because of increasing concentra tion of population in and near towns and cities. By fsr the majority of city dwellers prefer fast time, because it gives more hours for recreation and relaxation. People who work In stores, offices, factories, etc., go through the winter season with little opportunity to enjoy daylight. They arrive at their work soon after the late dawn and do not leave Until twilight or dark. They see daylight only if they go out for meals, and during short weekends. When longer days arrive, daylight saving time offers the opportunity to get away from work in time to enjoy a few remaining hours of sunlight. They still have time for a short drive, a swim, a round of golf, or other recreation, or time to work in gardens, mow lawns or do other outdoor work. The demand for daylight saving time will, we believe, force the practice of advancing work schedules, because city dwellers are in the majority, but it is entirely possible that within a few years the change in schedule will be made without necessity of changing clock time, thus compromis ing with the opposition. Indications art that daylight saving f me will be adopted in California and Washington. If so, it also should be fol lowed in Oregon, for different time between states crestes even more confusion than between neighboring municipalities. Thus, the Roseburg city council, we believe, is on the right track in endeavoring to promote uniform action. "Tick's" Tips On Veterans Hospital By L. J. "TICK" MALARKEY Sunday afternoon Oregon Stala college rimt to Vela by The Grove. Eight charming young ladies, un der the supervision of Jo Schawb. faculty advisor, entertained not only in the auditorium but through out the wards with a program of einging, dancing and drum major ette drilling. This was a Ked Cross project and all of the girls belong to the Oregon Stale College Red Cross unit. The act was shaped vaudeville style and the Bamboos, Graybeards and Kids applauded wildly between curtains and at ttie conclusion of the performance. Names and home towns follow: Virginia Masten, Klamath Falls; Pat Sheets. Cor vallis; Tina Wilson.

The meeting in Portland waa at tended by representatives from ail government agencies in the North west, presenting divergent views on the methods of operation by the Bureau of Federal Supply. The main discussions revolved around the idea of government agency re organisation as recommended by me noover commission. 11 was felt that the government agencies could work in closer harmony with the Bureau of Federal Supply, thereby saving many man hours of wark and many dollars of operstional expense. The Bureau of the Budget pre sented ideas that government agen cies should work in closer relation ship due to economy measures which now face the government.

(Incidentally Mr. Bitwuns was too busy trying to overcome the setbsck in his plsns to blow bis whistle. He was not even com forted by his wife's loyal letting- of steam when his ears were around. Philosophically he said he should have made the Individual sign a note and not take his 'word' for It.)

Some day it is hoped that this writer will be able to tell the story about Charles Stsnton, Del Jewett and aeveral other prominent resi denta of Douglas county when they were stationed at Fort Stevens in '17 before they went across the Atlantic to France. A lot of good clean fun those lads had down there at the mouth of the Colum bia. And good soldiers they were, too. A quartette of Cooties was much in evidence this dance night last week.

From the scriptures so many good things and thoughts come. The above was followed with woids that in their simplicity deeply im pressed and the liberty of quoting a few aentences follows: "The man who seeks the truth is willing to be patient. The man who is right ran afford to wait. The man who Is dedicated to a great ideal never gives up. The man who chooses to be on God's side is not afraid to stand alone. "He cannot be stopped by iner tia, opposition or criticism." "JO" Now "Tick." Care Of That Infection, Sam! it had had time to dry out and become fluffy, but for the purpose of advertising he was a newly hatched chick. His broken shell lay close by to prove it. He waa an alert, happy-looking little chick, his "Look what I did!" artistically obvious. Through Mrs. Bitwuns' seething resentment, which of course she was failing to recognize as self pity, came a 'still, small voice.' No, it didn't chide Matilda with a "Look here, you're about to founder your steamboat a midstream with your 'righteous indignation'." No, it suggested to Matilda that sure ly she has ss much sense as an un hitched chick. Surely the same intelligence that had inspired the chick with just the right, quiet, stesdy, properly timed, confident, unhurried action would be availa ble to her in her present problem. Each little chick has to pick open his own shell. Of course he con tinues to grow, too, as he pecks . . that growth helps at the final mo ment. You would be surprised how big a load seemed lifted from Mrs. Bitwuns' shoulders! She set about her daily routine, her steamboat making good progress upstream, with only an occasional blast of the whistle that did not stop it right where it was.

In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) try by the government will be the easiest way out. ALREADY we have established a pattern of government seizure in such cases. The government takes over in a crisis. It leaves management of the seized indus try in the owners' hsnds. The gov ernment merely uses its temporary "ownership" as a device to end the strike that caused the crisis. When the crisis ends and the strikers go back to work, the industry Is handed back to its owners. Labor is coming to regard that pattern as a GYP. Hence the talk from labor's side that THIS TIME it must be a complete seizure and that the goverLment must keep the profits, if any, arising out of operation. PROM that, it is only a step to RETAINING the seized Industry as a government-owned monopoly. Whenever that process begins, socialism will be here. THERE is Increasing talk in Con- gress these days about WHAT TO DO TO HELP SMALL BUSI NESS. One senator aays: "Every body wants to help the little busi ness man, but we can't seem ts agree on how to do it." IS one small business man, that H kind of talk scares me. If the politicians ever get their clutches on small business, it will be just too bad for small business men. Look at the poor devils of potato farmera the country over, They got into the clutches of the politicians. The ensuing mess is something fearful to contemplate. I find an increasing number of potato farmers coming to the grim conclusion that the only way to save their industry, to which most of them have devoted the bulk of their working lives, is to get it out of the hands of the politicians and hoe their own row from here on out no matter what it costs in the way of loss of "parities" and sub sidies. IP smsll business ever gets to feeling sorry for itself and starts running to the government for "help," the day of successful small business will have come to an end. The help that politicians give to business In such esses is the KISS OF DEATH. ' City Court Dispose! Of Drunkenness Casts Judee A. J.

Rehabilitation Aid For Vets Is Hospital Request Helping the patients at the Vet erans hospital establish human re lationships is the greatest function of the volunteer service program, stated Robert P. Allen, chief of the hospital's rehabilitation and educa tion program, speaking before the ftoaeburg Kiwanis club at the Hotel L'mpqua Thursday noon. Alien traced the day a schedule of a patient at the hospital from in time am rises cany in mm morning until he retires at t o clock that night. Certain waiting periods during the day make the time drag. During such periods the volunteer service worker comes into play in helping the patient pass the time, he asid. The federal government has an annual payroll of 11,000,000 at the hospital and offers the beat ca-e medical service can provide; but the government, considering the hospital here merely as one smsll group in its lsrge program, pro vides little of the niceties of liie for the patient. The hospital has approximately $00 residents, who are there as a direct or indirect result of their war experiences which hss caused them to find life intolerable, and so hsve slipped into a little world of their own. After a patient has been brought out of his illness by various treat ment methods, the period of re habilitation begins, and it ia dur ing this period, in order to give the patient the extra niceties be needs, the volunteer enters the picture. Hew Velunteers Can Aid He listed the following activi ties, in which volunteers csn assist: 1. Occupational, which may be ei ther diversional or function al, meaning an attempt to stimu late a man back into good habits by creating work situstions, such as arts snd crafts or educational instruction, in which the patients activity tolerance may be tested 2. Clinical, including nurses aids, feeding of patients, technical aids, snd social aervicea such as helping build up case histories for treat ment and in follow-up study. 3. Non-scheduled periods before meals, to assist in writing letters, reading, playing games, or just talking. Also aid may be given in drama therapy in helping recreate the problem which caused the pa tient to become stricken, to point out that the situation wasn't so bad after all. 4. Athletics, in which the patienta may either partici pate or just watch. 5. Entertain ment for the pstients in the eve ing. More than 1,000 hours monthly are contributed to volunteers. This number is unusual, but not enough, said Allen. He urged the club, ei ther as an organization or individ ual members, to offer all possible aid in the program. Allen then introduced Fuller Johnson, whom he described as "one of the most active volun teers." Johnson described his experi ences in getting started in the vol unteer work. He said it may take considerable time to learn how to be of service, but if one continues he soon finds out how he may aid the patients. Next Tuesday's program, an nounced Irv Brunn, will be on re lated farm interests. Several grange masters will be in attend ance. Mentally III Speaker's Topic At Health Assn. j The Douglas County Mental Health issociation held its first scheduled monthly meeting in the . music room of the Veterans hospi tal Monday evening, with approxi-' mately 150 persent.
