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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

teat-cups onto the cow. 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

their output to Roseburg proces
sors. Should anyone want to know
where this mesa is located, I shall
gladly furnish the location.

Russians, icrewballcd ai they un
doubtedly are, want to kill off
everybody in the world THEM
SELVES INCLUDED. 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 . . .

philosophies of government!"

way.

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

It must take a world of patience
and skill to photograph birds! I
well remember the excitement with
which EJ and I photographed a

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

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.

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.
