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?

Views Of England
Shown Lions Club
By Dr. B. Gilpin
Slide colored pictures, which he
took while stationed in England at
the close of the war, were shown
by Dr. Burhl Gilpin of the Veter
ans hospital staff at the weekly
Lions club meeting Thursday night
in the Hotel Umpqua.
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
pointed out the numerous scenic
parks the British build within their
cities, since the shortage of cars
keep the people very much at
home. 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.
Some of the war damage from
bombing was shown also, and Dr.
Gilpin discussed affects of the war
on the people.

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.-

Frost damage also has been re

that many trees are far behind

Vet Freed After
Year In Jail Under
142.Yr.-Old Law
niTTT.ANn Vt . Anrll 14..
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.
Smith, who waa the last to go free
of three veterans sentenced under
an 1808 law for failure to satisfy
judgments in civil suits, said he
waa "tickled to get out."
He waa committed to jail Feb.
10. 1948, for failing to pay a 12.570
judgment awarded Mrs. Mary L.
Mangan in connection with the
death of her aon, James, who was
struck by an automobile driven by
smun.
The civil judgment will atand for
eight yeara. During that time any
of hia cash or property worth more
than $20 is subject to attachment
to satisfy the claim.
Than God it'a over," Smith
said as he bade jailer Pearl M.
Holland farewell.
"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.
The city ordinance on peddling
specifically makes it an offense
to operate within th city without
first obtaining a license approved
by the city.
several violators hav been re
ported later and citations issued.
The cooperation of residents in re
porting unlicensed peddlers ia
urged by the police.

Combat Planes Long Way
Behind Speed Of Light
WASHINGTON -iJPh- It will be
a long time before most U. 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.
