Out Of The Woodwork
ARE YOU REGISTERED?
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Are you registered to vote?
April 18 is the deadline for voter registration for the
May 19 primary election.
Among those who should register are new voters per
sons who have reached the ai?e of 21 years and have not yet
placed their names upon the roll of voters; persons who
have moved into the county: persons who have moved
from one voting precinct to another; persons who have
failed to vote at an election within the past two years.
The county clerk's office reports it is NOT requiring
re-registrations in areas recently annexed to the City of
Roseburg, nor in newly-created voting precincts. Unless
persons in those areas have changed address, their reg
istration cards will be continued in effect and, in the' new
precincts, will be transferred to the poll books for those
precincts.
The forthcoming primary election is to be an interesting
and hotly contested affair. Every eligible voter SHOULD
participate. But to be eligible a voter must be registered.
And only a few days remain before registration books
are closed.
We are to have many local elections during the next
few weeks. Voter 'registration lists will be widely used.
Nearly all municipalities will be holding budget elections.
Kudget ' elections also will be held in virtually all school
districts. Roscburg is to have a special airport bond issue
election. All these are in addition to the forthcoming
primary.
Voters will want to participate in these elections and
consequently should be sure of their registration.
If any person has reason to question whether his reg
istration is In proper form, he should contact the county
clerk's office or the nearest local registrar.
And don't forget the deadline date is April 18; only
a few days left

Diminishing "Tribe" To Attend Banquet,
A group of men engaged in a profession, diminishing
in the face of modern science, will meet for a banquet
in Portland April 27. These men are the Morse telegraphers
of Oregon. They will be meeting to celebrate the 1 59th
anniversary of the birth of Samuel F. B. Worse, inventor
of the telegraph.
The key-and-sounder telegraph pioneered the field of
fast communication. It made possible the exchange of world
news and information. Telegraphers, trained to read the

Another New
Church Formed
Near Winston
By MRS. GEORGE BACHER
Another new church It being or
ganized in Winston located In the
Suksdorfs orchard addition, at
the end of the east road which in
tersects highway W at the Myrtle
wood Gift shop. Dr. Harold Jeffe
ries, supervisor for the northwest
ern district of the Four-Square
Gospel churches, was in this local
ity recently to assist with the pur
chase of the site and remodeling
of the two-story structure located
on the property is now underway.
It is hoped that the building will
be completed by the latter part of
April at which time Dr. Jeffries
will again be on hand to be in
charge of the dedication service,
Evangelist Eleanore Carver, as
sistant pastor, said.
New Paneling Used
The inside walls of the building
are being treated with new paneling
and wamscoating. The crusader
room and chapel have been com
pleted and utility and supply cup
boards have been installed. Plans
include some seven or eight class
rooms and adequate rest rooms.
A rustic motif will be used on the
outside finish, by means of blue
gray shake siding on the outer
walls and heavy doors of golden
cypress. Extensive landscaping is
also in the offing, Mrs. Carver said.
By Easter it is expected that
the upper auditorium will be com
pletd and it is urged by both the
pastor, the Rev. Mr. J. H. Carver,
and his assistant and wife, Evan
gelist Eleanore Carver, that "all
interested residents of the commu
nity make an effort to attend the
Easter services" as that day has
been set as the date to organize
a Sunday School. The pastors
stressed the fact that "although
the church is being established by
the Four-Square faith it is to be
inter-denominaitonal in spirit" and
that the "doors are wide open to
anyone wishing to attend." The
Sunday schedule includes: Sunday
school at 9:45, morning worship
at 11:00. junior crusaders at 6:30
p m. and evangelistic service at
7:30.
Picture To Be Painted
A highlight of the Sunday eve
ning service will be thepainting of
a picture under colored lights by
Mrs. Carver. This picture will later
be presented to the person bring
ing the most relatives or friends
to the service, she said.
Rev. and Mrs. Carver, together
with their daughter, Janet, have
been touring the country doing
evangelistic work for a number of
years. They recently came to Win

Immunity Of Congressmen
From Arrest Copied From
Centuries-Old British Law
By JAMES MARLOW
WASHINGTON. Several hundred years ago the British
parliament was having a tough time with the king.
He could have a member arrested on his way home for saying some
thing in parliament which the king didn't like.
Parliament felt that, for the public good, its members should be
free to speak in parliament without fear of punishment.
So in 1689 parliament set up a !

This was disclosed in an inter
view by Mai. Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor, U. S. commandant in the I
divided city.
In some respects the new American-British-French
staff resem-'
bles wartime ahaef supreme
headquarters of the Allied expe-1
ditionary force. There is no over
all commander but the post is re
served for such appointment in i
the event of genuine aggression.
Taylor said there had always
been a need for such a general
staff and that the attitude of the
east German Communists had
stepped up its organization.
He said the staff's primary task
is to plan the suppression of any
"putsch" tactics that might be
forthcoming from the east. The
staff came into being after the
Communists threatened to use a
youth march of a half million east
Germans to storm the city Mav
27-30, and spread disorder and
fear. Since then the Communists
have taken a milder tone in their
plans for the end of next month.
