Since IMS, the school district s birth rate has Jumped consioeraDiy, ruing t the rite of nearlv ISO per year. until showing signs of leveling off last year at 830 births. Turning to estimates of what elementary teachers will face in a few years, consider this latest Dinn ugure, uiai ui wi vavrc horn here in 1M9. At present, there are 270 young sters in the first grade of all Rose- burg public schools; at no time has this enrollment exceeded 300. Beginning in IMS (and extending indefinitely from the looks of things) a large portion of that 850 figure will be entering first grade in Roseburg schools. And remember, those schools now serve less than half that number. Paul Elliott, who Is not the sort of man to make snap Judgments, thinks the situation will get much worse before it gets any better. He saye there's no indication that our birth rate will decline appre ciably, nor will people leave Rose burg in great numbers, or stop moving in. The average daily membership in the city schools has steadily increased, according to informa tion contained in the school board's publication "Roseburg Public Schools Past. Present. Future." Some outstanding examples of in creased class memhersnip are ahown by the following figures, compiled March 4: Year Ur. 1 Year lir. s 1042-43 91 1947-48 178 1944-4S 13S 1949-50 219 Year Gr. 7 Year Gr. 9 1944-4S 122 1948-47 200 1947-48 171 1949-50 317 Year Gr. 10 Year Gr. 12 1944-45 139 1948-47 123 1947-48 189 1949-50 179 The only decrease noted Is in the upper grides, where students often leave school to work, or for other reasons. Increases corre sponding to those shown have filled classrooms in every city school. Since 1941, grade school enroll ments have increased from 515 to 1,411; the junior high figure in creased from 295 to 732; and the senior high enrollment haa nearly doubled, 698 compared to a 1941 enrollment of 350. Roseburg now has 1,881 more school children enrolled In III puo lic schools than in 1941. What to do with them? What to do with the bumper crop of 'post war babies who are crowding and will continue to crowd our public schools?

The pictures were scenes of var ious well-known English cities, in cluding Stratford - On - Avon, the birthplace of Shakespeare; Chel tenham, the American army head quarters in England, Southampton and other prominent European cit ies, including Le Havre, France. Dr. Gilpin contrasted life in Eng land with life in this country.

He showed building types and explained methods of heating, which are antcquated compared to the methods used in the United States. He ssid central heating in the homea is almost unknown. Most homes are heated by very inade quate coal- burning fireplaces. Plumbing also is frequently placed outside the buildings, instead of concealing it inside.

Moultrie, director of the state experiment station in Cor nelia, reported only on orchard in eight North Georgia counties has any peaches. "The crop ia a total loss as far as this area is concerned." he told state entomologist C. H. Al- den. Alden said the area usually pro duces 400 to 500 carloads of peaches. He said there was no way of knowing what the price would have been, but he thought the $6.- 000.000 a reasonable estimate. Frost damage also has been re ported to the crop in the central and southern aectiona of the atate, but no definite surveys were avail able. Alden said he believed the crop south of Macon, main George peach area, would be "fair," but that many trees are far behind normal development. - PABCO finest results NOW IN PROGRESS Nightly at 7:45 No Services Monday or Saturday TONIGHT: Family Night Spacial Songs Special Menag tor All.

A young arfny combat veteran jailed for more than a year under a 142-year-old Vermont law planned today to "try and get that job I waa promised in 1948." Bernard J. Smith Jr., 24. of Fair Haven, was set free by a three-man jail commission yesterday after he swore his personal attachable prop erty was less than $20. He waa al lowed to take a poor debtor's oath.

"I'm extremely grateful to every body. My plans are a bit indefinite yet, but I'm going home and try to get that job I was promised in 1948 in the electrical shop. Petain Will Seek To Erase Taint Of Traitor Verdict PARIS UP) Aging Marshal Philippe Petain, serving out a 'lie sentence on bleak He d'Yeu as a traitor to France, will seek a court reversal of hia condemnation, bis attorney laic. The attorney, Jacques Isorni. said the 94-year-old marshal, who aurrendered France to the Nazis in 1940 and headed the puppet Vichy government, would attempt to reopen his case next month Isorni said Petain had instructed him to "seek his vindication if necessary even after his death." The plea for the new trial. Irorni declared, would be based upon "new facts which included about ten passages from the recently published memoires of Admiral William D. Leahy, who was U. S. envoy to Vichy from 1940 to 1942. Petain was first sentenced to death for treason and collabora tion in August, 194S. But because of hia old age the sentence was commuted to life impriaonment on the lonely prison island off France's Atlantic coast. Since his imprisonment there have been numerous heated move ments demanding his release. To many in France he is still con sidered a hero for his successes' in the First World war. PeUin'a wife, who visits him every day, has ssid, however, that the aged marshal is too feeble to be moved to hia old estate in th south of Franc even if he wero exonerated. During Petain'a trial he asked Admiral Leahy to come to France to testify in his behalf. Leahy aaid he was unable to appear, but a letter from him was read in court declaring that Petain had "ex pressed the hope of Nasi destruc tion." Petain'a lawyer would not reveal what passages from Leahy's book would be used, but he said the facta revealed had been confirmed in some measure by President Truman.

Point 4 Program Of President Not Adequate, Claim PHILADELPHIA? April 14-GP) The United States waa challenged today to neip Dring a Bout a "so cial revolution" in the "under developed countriea of the world. President Truman's point four program ia not enough, the Amer ican Academy of Political and So cial Science waa told by George Hakim, counselor of the legation of Lebanon. Hakim waa one of a half-dozen speakers at a symposium on point four at the acdemy'a 54th annual meeting. The point four program, aa con ceived by the President, would supply U. S. economic know-how to the war-ravaged countriea of the world. The President called it a "bold new program." Hakim said the program is "too small to provide any effective con tribution' 'to the economic develop ment or poveny-atricKen nations. The masses of the underdevel- open lands, which Hakim said made up two-thirds of the world's population, "are not interested in concepts of free enterprise, free competition, democracy and hu man rights . . . It ia necessary first to live and not to starve." he as serted. And, he said, point four Improp erly places too great an emphasis on (1) free enterprise and (2) pri vate capital. "Th poverty-stricken, disease ridden masses of what have been called the underdeveloped coun tries or tne world," Hakim said, "are slowly awakening to the mis ery of their condition. . . "Whatever gain haa been ob tained for the national economy (of the underdeveloped countries) was mainly received by the upper classes constituting a small minor ity of the population ... but the majority of the people continue to live as they have lived for cen turies on a level of bar subsist ence." "What Is needed," the Leban ese official said, "is no less than a social revolution jivolving the transformation of a semi-feudal re actionary social order into a new industrial system under which the forces of production can develop and expand freely so as to raise the standard of living of the people as a whole.' ' City Police Plan To Crack Down On Peddlers City police have served notice that a crackdown la being made on all peddlers operating within the city without a license.

S. combat planes catch up with the speed of sound, a navy aeronau tics expert says. He aaid super sonic planes are just too expensive to operate. "While supersonic aircraft oper ation is now technically feasible," declared C. C. Sorgen of the navy's bureau of aeronautics, "it la also tremendously expensive because of the brute force required for propulsion. "For many years to come, with the exception of high performance interceptor fighters and guided missiles, the bulk of our service combat aircraft will be so-called subsonic aircraft," he told the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
