It It ANOTHER CAR SHORTAGE By CHARLES An unprecedented spring horizon, threatening serious , dustry. Douglas county mills already are having some trouble getting closed cars, . although the situation has not yet reached a critical stage. Open cars, flats and gondolas, still are available in sufficient quantity to handle green lumber, but some shipments of seasoned lumber already have been delayed temporarily because of inadequate supply of closed cars, mill operators report. , . . The Southern Pacific company reports that the scarcity . of closed cs-a? is by-product of the coal strike. Eastern railroads, it is asserted, have been forced to re- duce their operations because , cars are not being moved as rapidly as normal, nor are ' they being returned as quickly as before. itl : i i , i : i . l ri.l- v .i ins jHiiruau cuuip&ny s explanation buuiius piausiuie, uui it will be interesting to learn whether northern lines are having the same trouble. During perennial fall car shortages, when Oregon mills served by the Southern Pacific company have extreme diffi culty obtaining ears, it has been shown that the scarcity ... i .' iir i. : . ...i : 1 1 i , wbb ir leso cAireiiio in tv asiiiiigiuii, wnerts niiun are wrvtu by competing northern ' railroads. . If the shortage if more severe in those sections of Oregon served by the Southern Pacific on a non-competitive basis than in areas where competition exists, sound evidence will be at hand to support a proposed ruling, vigorously opposed by the S. P., which woold permit shippers to order cars from a competing line,$nd require the Southern Pacific to return the loaded cars to its cdmpetitor at the nearest exchange point. Th flhilitv nf th Snilfhprn Pnpifip rnmnnnv in ttinpf flip ourrent emergency could well be of vital influence either for or against the proposed regulation. A car shortage at this particular time would seriously damage the lumber industry. During the recent cold weather, orders accumulated until nearly all mills are now far behind. Haste on the part of ; eastern retailers to stock their yards in preparation for h.iairir .n.tni. tvaAa lio. m.iilliul ..lu . j pjiiie uauc ,ico jeouueu demand and price. ' . . .. . , . ' Eastern retailers want Immediate deliveries, for their stocks are low, while, w,ith the advent of good weather, de mand will be heavy. If western shipments are delayed too long they might start importing from Canada. Western mills would then lose this profitable business. The railroad company reports it has several trainloads of empties being made up on eastern lines, but that it may be a week or ten days before these cars are available for loading. Far more cargoes are going east than are coming west, it is reported.. Railroads, of course, try to carry loads both ways. But, because the coal strike has hit manufactur ing and transportation so hard in eastern industrial centers, full trainloads ofjempty cars are moving back to the west coast, it is stated. A reader recently requested information concerning origin of the name given Pitzer street in Roseburg. Mrs. Minnie Chenoweth, Oakland, writes that the street was named in honor of the son of Stephen F. Chadwick, who, as secretary of state, became governor in 1877. when Governor LaFayette Grover was elected to the U. S. Senate. Pitzer Chadwick, was named for an uncle, Pitzer Smith, who owned the property, later known as the Booth place, located near Dillard. The Chadwick family, according to Mrs. Chenoweth, con tributed several names to Roseburg streets. Stephens street bears the first name of the former governor, while Fowler street carries his middle name. Then, of course, Roseburg has Chadwick street, while Ella street was named for Ella Chadwick. The Chadwicks, says Mrs. Chenoweth, were her'cousins. LETTERS to the Editor Calls Attention To Dairy Sanitation Lack ROSEBURG I believe you have apace in your paper for comments by your readers on matters of in terest to the whole area. Much has been said of the dairv interests hereabout. I believe we who buy milk should see that the sanitary laws governing the production of miiK are enforced. The writer recently went with two men in a truck in search of some barnyard fertiluer. We had some difficulty to find any diary men who cared to spare any as they planned to put it all on their own (and. But we finally found a man who had a yard and a barn full to auch an extent that the rows were wading in a sloppy mess of pure and unadulterated dung up to their hocks. I saw cows with their teata dragging in this mess. True, he has a milk parlor with a very rough cement floor half washed. Needless to say, i man who will allow hia cows to wallow in such a mesa would not be too particular bout washing and drying the udd er and teats before placing the Mill rf Ml M M. ill rf IIM IK.M l lMl. it'2.a',m urn-pi .

And fur ther, he has a well part Way down the hill just below this filthy barn yard, which has a catch-basin. I could not see any reason why the water running down and across this barn lot would not be caught in this catch-basin and used to wash the milk equipment. The writer has had considerable experience in dairy sanitation in S. Dakota. Had we found a like situation in that state, no milk could have been sold from there: and, no dniiht, the operator would have received a fine for auch slack method. A milk processor can have all sorts of filters, clariNers, pasteur uers, and what not, but still there is the filth. Perhaps, it would be better rooked than raw, for that is what you have when milk is pasteuriied. Without a doubt, there is profit enough in the business to hire such a mesa eleanMi nn N'A telling how many more places. sucn as mis one, are delivering their output to Roseburg proces sors. Should anyone want to know where this mesa is located, I shall gladly furnish the location. tiUY HARBAUGH Roseburg, Ore. IENSON P.-T.A.

I have the feeling that they want to go on living. It'i just possible that the A-bomb and the H-bomb will work out like poison gas did. As soon as it was discov red that the OTHER FEL LOW COULD USE POISON GAS TOO, everybody quit using it. T'l HE thing we must do, ot course, is to leave no doubt in the minds of the half-crazed men in the Krem lin that if they A-bomb and 11 bomb us, we'll A-bomb and H-bomb them right back. . If they thought they could wipe us out to the last man with one fell blow, they'd do it. They're that kind of cookies. But a we re ai smart as we always have been, they CAN'T do it. If we have bombs enough and planes enough and have them .scattered widely enough over our vast country, they just can't hit us so hard or so quick that we won't have a few squad rons of planes left with which to bomb them back. If we can make it plain enough that that is exactly what will hap pen, I think they may refrain from A-bombing and H-bombing us. Any way, that was the way it worked out with poison gas and I find it hard to believe that human nature has changed to the point where It won't work out the same way with the new horror bombs. THIS engaging little tale ticks off the wires from Long Beach: "Rolland Truman, attorney, third cousin of President Truman, says he believes 'Cousin Harry has been kidnapped by leftwingers . . . I feel he is being held prisoner by advisers who lean to Socialistic philosophies of government!" H UH-UH. Rolland, it Isn't that way. Cousin Harry is just having the bee put on him by his crowd to KEEP 'EM IN POWER, NO MAT TER HOW IT HAS TO BE DONE. Slaying in power is the iirst prin ciple of modem politics, ai it has been the first principle of ALL politico. , Cousin Harry just figures that ! the easiest way to keep his crowd In power is to buy votes with promises. It's an old, old dodge which has worked far, far oftencr than it has failed. Local Student To Win Degree At Linfield I.

Lowell Atterbury New Active Club President The resignation of Glenn Jones as president of the Roseburg Ac tive club was accepted and Vice President Lowell Atterbury was advanced to head the club for the remainder of the an months' pe- Getting a "Bit Frayed ij&j!ffi( By Viaktutt S. Martin I) (jr "The song sparrow's intonation," Thoreau says, "is a reminder to dilatory supper-makers: 'Maids, maids, maids, hang up your tea-kettle-ettle-ettle' ... In New Eng land the 'pensive whistle' of the white-throated sparrow has given it the name of the Peabody bird, but to the Canadians it says: 'Sweet Canada, Canada, Canada'." Said Roseburg librarian, Miss Muriel Mitchell, "I think you will like this book . . ." as she placed Margaret Mc Kenny's "Birds in th Garden" (Grosset St Dunlap) in my hands. There's only one thing the matter with such a book as this: I find after having it at home, it tempts one to stretch the budget to include just one more book for one's own shelves . . . What a lovely book for a teen-age gift, I think, as I turn the 349 pages, and pore over the lovely colored plates, 16 of them, and 32 pages of photographs. Well, I'm returning it tomorrow . . . your turn next It must take a world of patience and skill to photograph birds! I well remember the excitement with which EJ and I photographed a fat robin on the edge of a basket- riod at the weekly meeting Thurs day morning in the Shalimar. Jonea tendered his resignation because his work will make it impossible for him to attend the morning meetings during the spring and summer. Kenneth Atlerbury, senior mem ber of the board of directors, will take over the vice-president s du ties. "Chuck" McPheron of Coos Bay Active club was present, and re ported on a zone meeting he at tended in Eugene. Ailing Woman Found Hanging In Woodshed Mrs. Vila Belle Gallop, M, who ! reportedly came to Roseburg about two years ago because of ill health, was found Wednesday hanging in the woodshed of her home on Pat terson street in East Roseburg, ac cording to stale police report. Mrs. Gallop's body was found by her 12-year-old son, Dale, about p.m., following his return from school. The report of the investi gating officers and of Deputy Cor oner Marion Emmett was that Mrs. Gallop had been dead at least seven hours when found. She was last seen by neighbors about 8 30 a m. The woodshed adjoins the Gallop house. Mis. Gallop was born April 26, 1815, in Corning, Mo. She canu; to Oregon with her husband, Owen, and two sons, Lloyd and Dale, from Peltier, Nebr., in 1947, and located in Roseburg. She reportedly had been in poor health, and was be lieved by relatives and friends to have become despondent. Surviving, beside? the widower and two sons in Roseburg. are a daughter, Mrs. Mildred Woodruff, Chapel, Nebr.; a daughter, Mrs. iola Mae Noel, Pan. Ky , and sons. John, Charles and Stanley, all of Wisner, Nebr.; aix grandchil dren; three sisters, Mrs. Mable Dankersof Oregon, Mo , Mrs. Dora Babb, Santa Crui. Calif., and Mrs. Nellie Lenniger, Torkio, Mo. She was a member of the Christian church of Coming, Mo. The body has been removed to the Roseburg Funeral home, and services will be announced pend ing the arrival of children from Kentucky and Nebraska. full of baby clothes. Anyway, it helped us appreciate the thrill a naturalist received when he spent a whole summer on Isle Royal (Mich) catching birds unawares and making a wildlife film that was a joy to watch. I was working with a mid-west motion picture company then. When the films were run, I sud denly thought of Hiawatha . . . suggested using pictures to pre face each section, fading the pic ture into the bird-scenes. Mr. Hast ings, the naturalist, was delight ed. He found a copy illustrated by Harrison Fisher ... I never shall forget the finished film; the Hia watha illustration seemed one with the beautiful woods and water scenes, and the bird activities de picted. . How much we owe to the lovers of wildlife who make possible for the rest of us authentic informa tion and pictures such as we find in every library, and, then, on our own book, shelves. "Birds in the Garden" is fully indexed, in cluding the many lovely poems and other quotations, making it easy to have that quick look such a book makes possible at any moment.

Firemen got in a practice run at 7:35 a.m. Wednesday when a flue fire was reported on a S. Stephens address. Then at 1:50 Monday aft ernoon, a truck was sent to the John Kirk ritadence at 441 Fuller ton to quell a fire in a clothes closet. Chief William Mills said tlie blaze was caused by spontane ous combustion. Approximately $200 damage was caused. Late Wednesday evening, fire men received another call to the corner of Stephens and Sykes streets to put out a fire in a 1939 sedan owned by Hudson garage. The loss was estimated at sL'00. And at 7:15 this morning, fire men answered a call at 12S2 Win chester, caused by another flue fire. Garbage Dumping In City Limits Charged Police Chief Calvin H. Baird re ported today the first case under the city's "garbage dumping" or dinance to be reported in a newly annexed area.

Caterpillar Is Star Of Movie Movie stars are famous for their individuality, but one of the most unusual such stars ever seen in Roseburg is being starred in a "Sermons from Science" movie to be shown at the First Presbyterian church Sunday at 7:30 p.m. In making the announcement, Dr. Morris Roach said the star of the film is Katy, the caterpillar, whose life history is featured in colored motion picture, "God of Creation." Katy isn t beautiful, but she does have brains. Her movie biogray begins as she spins a silken loop and anchors it in a strategic place on the branch of a tree. She weaves strand after strand until she has a strong cord. Then she does an amazing bit of gymnastics and pokes her head through the finish ed loop. Katy rests for a few days, then suddenly jerks violently, perform ing an acrobatic feat that likens most gymnasts to ramrods, and sheds her skin and feet Two weeki later, she emerges as a butterfly. Also featured in the film ia photosynthesis, the plant food-manufacturing process, and the stories of parameceum and galaxiei of stars. The film will also be shown Sun day afternoon at the Garden Val ley Sunday school.
