STANTON The American Indian moved hid village frequently. He lived in a tepee, easily portable, and his few belongings could be carried by squaws and pack animals. Villages had to be shifted occasionally because the Indian had no facilities for sanitation. Whenever accumulated ref use and filth became intolerable, the village was moved to a new site. Population being small, due partly to the Indian's un sanitary habits, while living space was virtually unlimited, the moving of an Indian village was a more or less common place event. We can't move our cities and towns as the Indians did their villages. But as we take a look at the roads and open spots on the outskirts of our settlements we find that a lot of people follow the practice of the American Indian insofar as promiscuous dumping of garbage and refuse is concerned. Five persons have been brought into the justice court at Roseburg during the past six weeks and each was fined ISO. But for each person fined, dozens still are using the open countryside, the farmer's field, or the nearest picnic j spot as a garbage dump. If the condition gets much worse, our sanitary situation will be quite comparable to that of the old Indian village, except that we can't pick up and move away from accumulation of filth. Offenders Deserve No Leniency It is extremely difficult to apprehend the individual gar bage dumper. lie travels by automobile, dumps his load and is miles away within a space of a few moment. His is no crime of passion. He breaks the law deliberately and with premeditation. He is fully aware that he is offending society, so he commits his act stealthily. He is entitled to no leniency when he comes into court to be confronted with evidence of his guilt. Because apprehension Is hard to accomplish, and few people are penalized for the offense, the fear of arrest is not a sufficient deterrent to prevent wholesale public gar bage dumping. Teople who have so little regard for safety and welfare of the public, or respect for the scenic beau ties of their surroundings that they will so pollute the coun tryside, cannot be shamed or persuaded to desist. The only control method is through greater public vigilance and coop eration in identifying culprits, sufficient penalties so that like-minded will be discouraged. Arrests to date have come principally through the efforts of county road crews who have tracked down offenders after much persistent work. Curiously, one offender was identified when a road crew man found a signed receipt from of all persons the gar bage collector, in a pile of refuse dumped besides roadway. Disposal Facilities Should Be Kept Cheap Living costs have a definite garbage disposal. Fewer people dump refuse on the country side in prosperous times, but the service of the garbageman is one of the first to be discontinued when income drops. The same effect Is obtained goes up. Naturally, It costs more today to conduct a garbage col lection and disposal service than it did a few years ago; the same as it costs more to conduct any other business. The Roseburg city council has from time to time found it necessary to permit increases in garbage disposal service and to tighten regulations. Extreme caution should be used, however, to see that the garbage disposal cost is kept as low as possible and the service as convenient as it can be made. Some of our smaller communities do not have garbage collection and disposal service. Nearly all, however, have dump grounds, available to the general public. These dump grounds have been carefully chosen, being located where they are not normally visible, and where they will not be dangerous to health.

DIME-A-DOZEN SKETCHES By PAUL JENKINS If you were to question the aver age man. pninthlank, about the matter probably he'd tell you that he'd rather be found dead than caught attending a women's style show; when the truth is, if he hap pened to find himself in the pres ence of one and was quietly ignor ed and left to his own devices either to leave or to stay he would, in all likelihood, be willing to admit freely, afterward, that he had enjoyed himself. At any rate if anyone had told me several days ago that 1 "ought to go to the Style Show at the Country club; you'd enjoy it," I would promptly have reached for the nearest peavey and hit him over the head with it. But no one told me Uiat; I found myself in attendance; I enjoyed it thoroughly.

A $2,750,000,000 Increase in the present system of government in surance of housing mortgages through the FHA. The Senate, aft er it too rejected coops, passed a bill providing a 1 ,750,000.000 expansion of thia insurance which is intended to encourage the flow of capital into home construction. The two houses now will iron out the differences. (The government doesn't put up any money under ine rilA pro gram, but insures investors against any large losses on loans made for construction of homes or rental property. On loans it insures, the KHA puts a limit on the interest charged to the home builder and requires certain standarda of con struction.) 2. An increase by $750,000,000 in the Federal National Mortgage as sociation's authority to purchase home mortgages from private lend ers. The present $2,500,000,000 au thority for this purpose is about used up, and the government yes terday called a halt in this pro gram until more funds are avail able. The government through this program buys mortgages that pri vate lenders already have made on homes so that these lenders will have more money on hand for loans on new housing. 3. Added $600,000,000 authority to insure mortgages on large-scale rental apartment projects. Appli cations for this insurance more than exhausted available funds ear ly this year although the law did not expire until March 1. 4. An increase in the amortiza tion period of GI home loans from 25 to 30 years. Banking chairman Spence (D-Ky) said this would re duce the carrying charge on an $8,000 Gf home by $4 a month. 5.

A Minerva veterinarian had an award today "for distinguished and meritorious effort on behalf of America's 21,000,000 cats." The citation, from the American Feline Society, Inc., of New York, was bestowed on Dr. William Orr for the care he lavished on a cat f.iat survived 36 hours in a fiery orica Klin. It lauded his "prompt and skill ful medical attention" as a factor in saving the life of "Miracle", the calico cat so named because of its narros escape. "Miracle" was sealed for 36 hours in a kiln heated to between 600 and 900 degrees. Amazed work ers found the cat when they un sealed the kiln March S. They didn't know how the cat got in side. The cat was badly dehydrated, its tail burned off, and all four paws seared, but it came around in good s'lae under Dr. Orr's care. Said Robert L. Kendall, feline society president, on Dr. Orr's skill: "A mark for other veteri narians to shoot at." As much as 50 percent of the energy from the feed of iwine may be given off as heat. FOR . . .
