Mayor Hegel also told of the
"heritage behind the chamber of
commerce.
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.

ing at the regular meeting of the
Roseburg Rod and Gun Club. Mc
Kenzie, co-publisher of the North

and on. of the state's best known
conservationists, entertained the
Roseburg club members with mo

scenery and wildlife.
In its business session, the club
went on record favoring continued
opening of the North Umpqua
whitetail deer reserve this year,
urging, too, that consideration be
given a special doe season on the
reserve. The whitetail herd, it was
declared, has overpopulated the
range, as indicated by small size
and poor condition ot animals
and that does are entirely too nu
meroua.
Gene Kent was appointed chair
man of a committee to study the
matter of organizing a Junior club.
Reports were received from

"It is one of the most critical

the state since the turn of the cen
tury," said the commissioner. Math

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.

accidents. 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.
