Last year the pupils of Miss Mar
grrct Carr, art instructor in Rose
burg junior high school, submitted
10 pictures in the International Art
exhibit. These were sent to San
Francisco to be screened together
with other pictures submitted from
the Pacific coast area, and most of
them from this class went on to
New York and a number were se
lected there to be sent overseas,
which is a signal honor.
The class members were so hap
py over results that Junior Red
Cross has just forwarded 12 pic
tures from the same grades to San
Krancisco; and, judging by the
quality of the work, the results
should be just as favorable as a
year agu.
The following pupils submitted
pictures and the title of each given
to carry out characteristics of the
locality from which they originated:
Lorraine Kitchen, "Our boys like
to play football", Letha Harbison,
"In class we work hard most of
the time", Joanne Richman, "After
school we stop in at the soda
fountain for Ice-cream"; Jim Hod
son, "One of our best game birds
is the China pheasant, which was
brought here from Asia"; Roland
Cheek, "We play football it is our
favorite game": Alycene Gibson,
' Cur people like to fish ia the
mountains and streams"; Pat Dick
enson, "Our sunsets are beautiful";
Dan Arensneier, "In the river are
funny little turtles"; Jeffie
Schultze, "Some of our trains are
speeding streamliners"; Lilda Hal
derman, "Our Oregon coast has
many fine beaches"; David Syl
wester, "In our state are many
little covered bridges," and Robert

than the young men of today.
Cooper stated that in all the
countries of the world that he vis

tion wealth. Cooper explained that

en America the highest standard
of living in the world.
In closing his address, Cooper

tion of the Hoover report.
Good Citisenship Major Aim
Cooper was introduced to the
Roseburg Jaycee audience by
Bruce Kelly, Oregon Junior Cham

Kelly's introductory address, he
stated that good Jaycee organiza
tions were based on three things:
(1) capable leadership, (2) high
sense of responsibility by each
member and (3) good, construc

was the purpose of the Jaycee or
ganization to build good citizen
ship by getting young men to do
good deeds for their community.
During the dinner, the cry "tim

other economist in declaring "all
men are liars."
"It has been written that King
Solomon, in his laste, declared
all men were liars," he said. "It
has also been said that, by ex
amining today's tax rolls. Solo
man could make the same state
ment with deliberation."
Of the national tax picture. Dr.
Gilbert, Indicated the problem of
taxation is not new. He recalled
a : fellow employee making the
statement that the only way to
meet his property taxes was to sell
the property and "work out the
rest." He said that was in 1904,
when the total tax "take" was
about six percent. That figure at
present is now approximately 25
percent, he said.
Budget Needs Listed
How to trim down the national
budget poses a real problem. Dr.
Gilbert declared. Of the items
listed on the budget, he termed
needs": veterans aid, benefits and
insurance; interest on loans which
financed both wars; national de
fense; and aid to Western Euro
pean nations. A fifth item he re
ferred to as expenditures which
were formerly of a private na
ture and which have now become
public expenses. He said this class
ification included such items as
old age benefits and care of the
aged.
Other important budget Items in
cluded social security, public
works and sustaining farm prices
all of which he said were "dan
gerous for Congress to tamper
with, especially during an election
year."
Accompanying ur. uiiDeri w

Ziebarth, who teaches transporta
tion and production management
at the university; Alfred Lomax,
professor of foreign trade; Dr.

Famed Infantry
Chorus Sought
By Concert Assn.
Officers and workers of the
Roseburg Community Concert as
sociation last night approved a
move to secure the famed De
Paur's Infantry chorus as the fea
ture attraction on the coming
year's concert series.
The announcement was made
Monday night at the 8:30 banquet
in the junior high school which
officially opened the membership
campaign.
Mrs. Margaret Blackburn, the
national association representative,
announced the chorus is definitely
secured and will appear in Rose
burg sometime in December. All
35 members of the Negro chorus
are college graduates and ex-GIs,
reflected in the musical and mili
tary precision with which they
have been drilled by their leader,
Leonard DePaur.
As in previous years, four sep
arate attractions will be included
on the concert agenda. However,
the remaining three are not known
as this time.
Gladys H. Strong, president of
the Roseburg association, urged
present members to mail in their
applications as soon this week as
possible. She said persons may also
call at campaign headquarters at
the chamber of commerce offices
between 10 a.m. and S p.m. The
membership drive ends Saturday
at 2 p.m.
She said the drive is being held
in the soring rather than in the
fall, as in former years, because
of the availability of group attrac
tions such as the DePaur chorus.
In addition to Mrs. Blackburn,
three apeakers also stressed the
value of the concert series to the
community. Other speakers were
Miss Muriel Mitchell, George
Erickson and Rev. E. Clark Robb
A film of performing artists re
corded by Columbia concluded the
program.
The banquet was prepared by
the cafeteria cook of the junior
high school under the supervision
of Mrs. May Mathews, school lunch
coordinator for Roseburg schools,
and was aerved by volunteer stu
dents. County Home Contracts

By contrast, he praised the non-
Communist Scandinavian countries
for their active efforts in the rescue
search.
More sharply worded than the
note itself, the statement also said
Russia "ostentatiously" decorated
the Soviet airmen "in a manner
calculated to give the impression
mat they are being rewarded for
shooting down an American air
plane." It declared the Soviet govern
ment's attitude all through the in
vestigation "shows clearly the in
sincerity of its oft-proclaimed de
sire for peaceful relations with the
united states and the non-Soviet
world in general."
In their original irotest. the Rus
sians described the plane as of the
u-9 type, foreign Minister Vishm
sky said it ignored orders over
Soviet territory to land and fired
on Soviet planes. He said a Russian
plane returned the fire and the
American plane disappeared toward
tne sea.

proved. A resolution was passed
setting May 15 as the date for
hearing remonstrances if any to
the petitions calling for the sewer
work. -
Revised plans, which were nec
essary to conform to requirements
of the state sanitary authority, call
for realignment of two surveys,
which have been taken care of,
and provision for two additional
pumps, making four in all, to as
sist the sewage to flow to the dis
posal plant.
The two new pumps will cost
$2,500 more each, so that the total
engineer's estimates will be raised
by that amount. The estimates
place the revised cost at $167,418,
if vitrified pipes are used, and
$161,490, if concrete pipes are used.
Because of requests that a long
range planning committee be set
up. Mayor Albert G. Flegel asked
the city recorder to notify the
Chamber of Commerce that he
would be willing to appoint a com
mittee to work with the chamber
members in any manner they aaw
fit, in order to study city planning
needs.
City Manager M. W. Slankard
submitted a report, previously re
quested by the city, stating that
survey showed adequate parking
space was available off Jackson
and Cass streets for all night park
ing. He recommended continued en
forcement of the no parking re
strictions on these two streets, be
tween the hours of 1 and A a.m..
except for the north side of Cass
street between Rose and Stephens.
The report was adopted.
Private Business Matters

granted for the establishment of a
fountain and lynch counter by
Dwight M. Pope at 230 No. Jack

mission to raise baby chicks to
fryer age in a brooder house at

bond requirement was waived also
for C. F. McDonald for distribu

tailing of eggs on South Stephens
street, but he was granted permis
sion to continue under the $100

provision that the fee be refunded,
in case he decides to discontinue

the Roseburg Cafe at 143 Sheri
dan street, and that Betty G. Smith
and partners have purchased the
