Forget your every day business life for i moment, he told his audience, and give thought to the history which has brought the Roseburg chamber to us in our daily activities. "A group of businessmen in New York City, in 1768, formed i business assoclstion for the pur pose of bettering their relations with each other and the surround ing country," the mayor reviewed. "They named it the New York Chamber of Commerce. Three years later, by royal decree of King George HI, a charter was issued to this organization. A strange fact concerning C. of C. history is that the first such group in England waa subsequently formed in Glasgow 15 years later," the mayor said. The first known C. of C. was organized in Mar sidles, France in 1599 the close of the 16th century. "Even stopping here, we are able to refute any charge of being upstarts," the mayor said. 'But this is only the beginning. The first known group of businessmen to organize lor their mutual bene fit was an association of such men in the days of the Roman Empire." "So we can safely assume our C. of C. Is here to stay," Klegel pointed out, not just a stopgap movement. IETUS HELP YOU t2 THE EASY WAY...

"It is one of the most critical production years for agriculture in the state since the turn of the cen tury," said the commissioner. Math Dahl. Damage to highways, bridges and culvert from the floods in Grand Forks county alone was estimated at nearly $1,500,000. Red Crass on Job In northern Minnesota, flood waters menaced Little- Fork and Floodwood. The Red Cross set up hundreds of cots in a new unoccu pied creamery building to care for some 350 of Floodwood's 600 resi dents who were driven from their homes by the St. Louis river. More than 10,000 residents of St. Vital, south of Winnipeg, were or dered to evacuate their homes by Friday. More than 15,000 other per sons already have fled their homes in southern Manitoba as the Red river and other streams spilled out over some 200 square miles. At Winnipeg, the Red river's level was 28 feet, .0 inches, nearly 11 feet above flood level. Most of greater Winnipeg lies five feet or more above the river's present level. Almost the whole western three-fifths of the area of 350,000 people is on even higher ground. The Weather Generally fair and warmer te day. Partly cloudy Thursday.

Many of these cases are of a nature that should be handled only by an attorney, or the divinity, be declared. Hard Problem For Police Yet, he asserted, most officers receive the same pay as common labor. The problem faced by police departments is to obtain good per sonnel, to keeD the men after they are hired and make them realize there is a real future in police work. "We have no right to ask for more money unless we can prove we are worthy and qualified to handle problems to protect life and property," he stated. Jones prefaced his talk with a review of the history of police work, from the early civilizations of China, the Greeks, Romans and through the British establishment of Scotland Yards. In London in 1828 there were no police. Mer chants took turns guarding city blocks. Thieves and vagrants were merely shooed from one block to another, until finally an estate was purchased from a Scotlander who had met financial reverses. The yard was fenced to hold prisoners, and thence came the name Scot land Yards, Police work started slow in the United States. The first state po lice were begun in 1905, and the f HI in 1908, but it was not until 1934 that the FBI could carry weap ons or make arrests. The FBI numbered 1,000 at the outbreak of the war in 1939, while Germany had 30,000 such police workers. But by organizing their work with the cooperation of state, county and city police, it was possible on Dec. 7, 1941, to place 20,000 fas cists in concentration camps, per mitting industry to proceed un hampered during the war. Crime, he stated, may be con sidered a barometer of 'political unrest. He quoted statistics to show th. lessening of crime during the war, when work was plentiful, and the increase in criminal action when times became tougher since the war. He said it is a problem of fitting 12,000,000 men from the armed services back into work, to gether with absorbing displaced persons and caring for transient workers, who, unable to obtain em ployment where they live, move on to other areas. Police, he said, serve as a pro tection to society. It is therefore important that the qualification of an officer be that he is able to keep a level head and calm situa tions that might otherwise get out of hand.
