STANTON Oregon's employers are expecting 1950 employment "to be the greatest in the state's history," reports the Stat Unemployment Compensation commission. The commission's monthly bulletin says the state's season al upturn in employment came earlier this winter than at any time since the war. Simultaneously with the end of the severe cold spell, lumbering operations reopened and lrT rnnatrnrtinn nroiecta were resumed. Employment by , late February was ahead of 1949 and approached the record period of 1948. Despite the extremely bad weather, the commission re trf the rlron in toErariniT and lumber workers was less than during the winter season a were out of employment temporarily. Mills, it is reportea, have a pile of accumulated orders, while the market has strengthened both in price and demand. Consequently the industry is striving to gain full production as rapidly as possible and faster upturn in employment is expected than last spring, when more than 20,000 workers returned to jobs between February and April. AH indications, the commission reports, are that the upturn in employment will come earlier than in any recent year and that total employment may break all records. Particularly good prospects are noted in agriculture, food processing, construction and transportation, in addition to lumbering and logging. Population Influx Anticipated The unemployment commission's bulletin is in line with local predictions ' that Roscburg and other points in the Umpqua basin can expect a tremendous influx of popula tion during the next few months. The outlook Is for a labor shortage, certain to attract workers. Work will be in progress on the Pacific highway south of Canyonville and on the Tiller-Trail cut-off road. At least three contracts will be in operation on the North Umpqua road. It is expected that a new highway entrance will be built north of Roseburg this summer, and it is possible that traffic may be divided through town by the opening of a new route. Considerable road work will be in progress in addition to these enumerated projects. The Douglas County Community hospital now is under construction and tha proposed annex to Mercy hospital also is scheduled to be built this year. In addition to these two hospital projects, the Douglas county cfturt is pre paring plans for a county home, costing approximately a half-million dollars, to be started soon. The Eagles lodge has announced plans for a (500,000 lodge temple and office building. Coupled with the normal building program, Rose burg's building outlook promises plenty of work for all branches of the building trade. Timber Industry Prospects Good Strengthening of the lumber market, coupled with im provement in the power situation, promises plenty of work in the woods and mills this season. Better prices also will bring about reopening of many of the small, sub-marginal operations which did not run last year. The prolonged cold weather, halting all logging opera tions, followed by drastic load limits to prevent damage to frost-filled roads, forced mills to dip heavily into their cold decks and reserve supplies. Many of the larger mills, having ample power for the first time since the war, due to Copco's Toketee installation, will work double shifts. Some will work around the clock. This means they will need more than the usual volume of logs for seasonal opera tions while, at the same time, they must build up their depleted cold decks to supply next winter's operations dur ing the season when weather will not permit logging. All of which means more jobs in mills and woods. Some mills also are planning to enlarge their operations, increasing cutting capacity, putting in finishing equipment, installing dry kilns, etc., producing more jobs both for con struction and operation. 1 Rumors are prevalent concerning at least one and pos sibly two plywood factories to be built during the summer, with, perhaps, some experimental wood waste utilization plants. One of the county's large operations is preparing to go into wallboard manufacture as sideline. With all of these prospects ahead for the spring and summer of 1950, there can be no room for pessimism. REEDSPORT Surplus LSM's To Aid Hauling The Umpqua River Navigation Co. it Reedsport has purchased three surplus stock LSMs (or use in a rock hauling contract (or Kern, Kibhe, and McKinnon. They are of steel construction and are 208 feet long and 34 feet wide and will carry approximately 1.000 tons. They have been stripped of engines and super structure and will be towed to and from the Navi gation Co. quarry, 10 miles below Scotuburg to the mouth of the Umpqua river, a distance of 18 miles, to be used in building the south Jetty.

Douglas Rabbit Brooders Hoar Research Export Harry Newman waa guest speak er Thursday evening at the Ump qua hotel when the Alber's Milling company, controlling the largest research station in the Northwest held a meeting for Douglas county rabbit breeders Newman, a nutritional expert. Is on a coast-to-coast tour to transmit the latest research developments to rabbit owners. He spoke at length on the proper handling of rabbits from hutches to the dining ta'.ile. Many communities of the county were on hand to enjoy the lecture, reports C. E. Bowman, vice-president of the Umpqua Valley Rabbit Breeders association. There Are Times r - Ov5 In the Day's News (Continued from Page One) his decision to carry on after a 75 minute emergency aession of his cabinet. It means that the Labor party will form another govern ment even at the continuous risk of being forced into a new election at any time. LET'S get this new election busi ness straight in our minds. In our countr) , a new Congress ia elected for a definite period of ume. Under tha British system, a new parliamentary election ia called whenever the party in power la defeated in parliament on any major issue to which it has com mitted itself. Tha Labor party haa committed itself to nationalization of the steel industry. Before the election, it passed the enabling legislation. It is now obligated to put the national izing law into effect. If, in the new parliament, there should be a de fection of ONLY A FEW Labor votes, the party would fail to carry through ita ateel nationalization policy, and there would have to ba a new election to choose a new house of commons. a a a IT could come even quicker. The new parliament elected on Thursday will convent next Wednesday for organization pur poses. Just before the sesshn, the Labor members will hold a meet ing to re-elect Attlee as their leader and as such the prime minister. On March (, this new govern ment's proposed legislative pro gram will be outlined in the tradi tional speech by the king. (The king will act merely as a traditional mouthpiece, reading tha speech that will be prepared for him by the Labor government.) The king's speech will have to be debated and voted on. If the vote should go against the Labor party program, Attlee (ac cording to British tradition) would have to resign and a new parlia mentary election would have to ba called. That is to aay, the new Labor government is so shaky that it could CRASH within as little as two or three weeks. a a a BY way of summing up the Brit ish election result and what it means, it is at least safe to say that while the Conservatives didn't win a victory the Labor party cer tainly suffered a defeat. Putting it briefly, too many British voters decided after a five year trial of it that they are scared of more Socialism. "Coke" Machines Sought By Junior Chamber An appeal for ""Coke" machine k-calions was sent out by Irv Push, who is in charge of the Junior Chamber of Commerce-sponsored youth-artivities-financing through "Coke"-machine-revenurs program At a meeting of Jayrees last night, Push asked that anyone hav ing suggestions as to where these soft drink machines may ba lo cated, should contact him or anoth er member of the Jayceej. The local distributer for Coca Cola is supplying the Jaycee or ganisation with "Coke" machines, to be set up around town at likely aales spots. Revenue from the machines will go towards financing such Jaycee youth activities as the Neewollah parade, said Pugh, When We Think Uncle Is A ffej&pl By ViaJmttt 5. Uartin fff-J Mention in a newspaper of Dr. ; Mabel Dominick reminded me of one of the pleasantest and most fruitful study courses it hss been my pleasure to have. Dr. Dominick was the teacher; her subject, "Tha Bibla and Tha Historical De sign." Plimpton Press, Norwood, Mass., ara tha publishers of her book with the same title. I forget how many evenings there were in the ' course not enough, anyway! But I could never forget the delightful personality of the teacher She is tall, graceful, and dynamic. Best of all she is witty. She breaka up her serious, forceful treatment of her aubject with flashes of wit, and sometimes pokes a wee bit of fun at a student which that atudent enjoyes with the rest of the group. But Dr. Do minick is navar Irreverent. There were Sunday school teach ers and other interested adults from many churchea in her course; the Historical Design refrains from sectarian comment. Dr. Dominick, who has a Ph. D. from Cornell and other honors, and has taught her Business Visiter E. P. Charters of Braley and Graham company in Portland waa in Koseburg last week on business.

A comforting thought in these days of atomic and now hydrogenic threat. The Long Beach city librarian, Mrs. Theodora Brewitt, said that "the year 1948 was being written into history as one of the most unusual in the library'a records, Why? Because NO BIBLES we stolen! Books stolen from the li brary are books people want to consult all the time. That's why many people steal the Bible." The executive director of the Gid eon society, Frederick R.

AC Disobedience Of Three Basic Rules Causes Mishaps Drivers who misunderstand or fail to obey three basic rules of the road are responsible for more than half of Oiegon's traffic acci dents. Secretary of State Newbry esumaiea. Despite a common belief that traffic laws vary widely from state to state, these three rules are vir tually tha same across the nation, tha secretary said. He pointed out that violators lucky enough to es cape injury may atill ba liable for damage to others. He listed the three rules as fal lows: Th Intersection Rule: If two cars are arriving at to uncontroll ed intersection (no stop sign or sig nals) at about the same Ume, the car on the right alwaya haa the right-of-way. Two out of five Ore goo accidents occur at intersec tions. Tha Fallowing Rule: If you run into the rear of another car, you are alwaya at fault. It doesn't mat ter that the car ahead stopped sud denly or that the driver failed to signal. He may have had no op portunity, and the law requires that you drive far enough behind to be ready for any emergency. After failure to have right-of-way. following too closely ia the mo-C frequent single Oregon traffic vio lation. The Speed Rule: Speed must be adjusted to conditions reeardlesa of posted or designated speed lim its, wnicn are considered maximum for ideal conditions. If traffic is her vy or the roadway is slippery, you may be charged with driving too fast for conditions even though you did not exceed the apparent legal limit. On rural highwaya with out posted speeds, the "reasonable and prudent" rule still applies. Ex cessive speed ia responsible for one out of four traffic fatalities in Oregon.
