SHOULD BE STOPPED By CHARLES V. STANTON Sportsmen of the lower Umpqua area are greatly con cerned because a few anglers are purchasing commercial li censes and using them for fishing in Winchester bay. Pre sumably, a commercial license qualifies for fishing only in the ocean, outside the bay. But some anglers reportedly have been fishing inside the bay and have been taking the unlimited catches permitted under a commercial license. The practice is one that should be stopped immediately. The Winchester Bay area promises to become the Pa cific coast's leading recreational spot. More than 25,000 angler days are expected there this year. It should be main tained strictly for recreation. If existing law covers the situation, then adequate en forcement should be provided. If the law is objure, or is not sufficient to stop the practice, (wc-tlv legislation should be prepared immediately for introduction at the next session of the legislature. Belated Orchids To Jayvees Because of strike conditions we haven't had normal time for preparation of this column, resulting in neglect of a mer ited expression of appreciation due the Koseburg Junior Chamber of Commerce for its sponsorship oi the Fourth of July fireworks display at the county fairgrounds. We be lieve we speak the unanimous sentiment of the people of Roseburg when we thank the Jayvees for their work on this very entertaining program. It is to be hoped that it will be made an annual event and receive increasing support, .participation and coopera tion. Forest Fire Tragedy Emphasized An interesting story lies behind forest fire warning signs appearing throughout the country. Posters feature "Smokey," a black bear cub. Inspiration for the poster came when a district game warden found a tiny cub bear, orphaned by a forest fire, in Lincoln National forest near Capital, New Mexico. The U. S. Forest service reports that the warden, at tracted by whimpering and moans, found the cub clinging to a burned-off pine stump. He was in bad shape with a scorched hide and third-degree burns on a paw. The mother bear apparently had been killed. "Smoky" is recovering nicely under the care of a veter inarian, anil his picture mid tragic story may lie the means of saving the lives of thousands of other wild animals by bringing home to tho public the need of caution with fire in the woods. ' - ' In The Day's News .By FRANK JENKINS. (Continue" from page One) commies, but we can't help won dering where they could have come from if we do. Our homeland is a long, lonK way from Korea and it takes TIME, to get fighting men into battle. There has been fighting over there in tho soggy valley of the Kum. It seems to have been only one of those preliminary skirmishes that are touched oft at the begin ning of wars. Rut it was sharp and bitter while it lasted. The dis patches tell this much about it: "So fast are the commies pouring in from the north that it is a ques tion whether the Americans will have time to check the powerful thrust. But this much is certain: THOSE AMERICANS SO FAR TESTED IN BATTLE ARE ABLE. A handful of them, possibly no more than 500 (their commander savs half a battalion) STOl'PED COLD FOR SIX HOURS THE BEST DIVISION THE RUSSIAN TRAINED NORTH KOREANS COULD THROW AT THEM." I'll have to confess that as I write these words I find myself shaking like a leaf. I'm looking back, a long, LONG lime, to Cha teau Thierry where a TRAGICAL LY little band of Americans dug themselves into the wheat in north ern France and for an hour or so (as long as their numbers last ed) they stopped the best the great German army could send against them. My mind is going back to Gund a'eanal. Again a little, a pitifully little band of Americans were sol ting their first testing in battle. They stood up under it. Outnum bered, far from home, they took all the .laps could throw against them and STUCK. Now, up there in the rain and tht fog and the sticky red clay of the valley of the Kum in Korea, a little band of Americans is holding again , . . Holding out against vastly superior numbers of the en emy . . . Giving 'n good account of themselves . . . DYING . . . the dispatch, after telling how well they fought, adds srimly: "They suffered about 10 percent casual ties." Too little. Always too little. Too late. Always too late. We were too little and too late a Chaeau Thier ry. We were too little and too late at Guadalcanal. Now we are little and late in South Korea. Our little ness and our lateness have to be made up for by American boys "giving a good account of them selves in their first battle testing" and dying in the face of a superior enemy. How long, oh Lord, HOW LONG are we going to go on being too little and too late? When will we grow up in our political leader ship and ANTICIPATE THE THINGS WE WILL BE CALLED ON TO DO AND BE READY FOR THEM? Vital Statistics Marriage license applicants since June 26.

'Rooster Day' Cruelty In Oklahoma Deplored MYRTLE CREEK An article and pictures. on pages 5!) and 60 of the June Sth issue of Life maga zine should be called to the atten tion of every man, woman and child of America, as well as the rest of the world. For those who did not read the article, and with all due respect to Life magazine, I quote . . . "Rooster Dav In Broken Arrow. An Oklahoma town gets rid of a surplus and amuses the children. When the spring hatching season comes to an end in Broken Arrow, Okla., there is no longer any need for fertile hens' eggs. Consequently there is no longer any need for roosters. This little problem Broken Arrow solves with heartless zest. On May 13 the town held its 16th annual Rooster Day (the biggest little celebration in northeastern Oklahoma ). All the unwanted birds in the simple sale were not interese ing enough, there were prelimi nariessack races, a parade, a ladies' nail-driving contest. Then a number of roosters were selected for a special ceremony dollar bills were fastened to their legs, and the birds were thrown (above) to a swarm of eager children who, cheered on by their elders, strug gled in a welter of gore and feath ers to get the money. The roosters usually died or were crippled, but someone always wound up with the dollar. Finally there was a big rooster race, in which about 100 birds were prodded, pinched, and kicked down the main street by happv adults. That ended the fun ." 1 should think it WOULD end the fun. But did it? One picture shows a rooster, with a dollar tied to its leg, tossed over a large group of children. Another picture printed underneath "MANGLED BIRD is held by several still-struggling cap tors. Occasionally the dollar bill gels bloody, but it can easily be washed nf( and made good as new." Now, ran anyone imagine parents j teaching their children such acts of I cruelty tearing live chickens to j bits lo get dollar bills? AND, dear i readers the picture shows this I cruel, inhuman, barbarous celcbra. lion was right in front of a place ' of worship The Assembly of God j Church. How Satan must have re joiced over the score he made that ' day, and how embarrassed our ! Lord must have been by the con I duct of His children. Missionaries I sent lo far-away lands could find very fertile fields right in our own ! nation ; and unless we change our ways, those foreign countries will soniedav send missionaries to teach US Christianity.

Excise Tax Cuts Now Improbable WASHINGTON, July 10 .P The Korean crisis cast a deepen ing shadow today over prospects 1 for any cut in excise taxes in the ne.-ir future. The house bill would reduce the ! excises by $1.1110.000.000 but would make up the tax loss in other . ways, chiefl, by a boost in the 1 levies on big cnrporalions. The ! measure is being considered by ! the senate finance committee and ts scheduled for final senate action ; soon. While chairman George (D Ga) said the committee would go ahead with us hearings pending further word from the administra tion, there were mounting signs that sentiment in Congress is turn ing against the bill in view of the Korean crisis. One inlhienti.il member of t h e finance rominiliee, asking not to be quoted by name, said any con sideration of a tax reduction now is just "shvlow boxing." He pre dicted that the bill will be thrown PORTLAND, July 10,-4P) The pleasant, boyish pastime of snap ping a new pair of suspenders cost David Barllow, 2V4, of Trout dale, an eye.

Cane Berry Prices Will Be Higher This Season PORTLAND, m Market sources say caneberry prices would be higher this year tnan last. A private bargaining group. the caneoerry control board, said loganberries would command lu cents a pound. One major pro cessor offered 8 cents. Boyscnbcrries were expected to bring 12 cents and raspberries 15- 16 cents. Cherry canners were reported paying 10 cents at Salem and 12 at The Dalles. Brine cherries were 10-11 cents. By ViahnsU S. Martin Since programs and recitals have to be planned far ahead, some times, this idea suitable for any time but especially effective at the Chirstmas season may be well timed now. To prepare such a program one needs Cynthia Pearl Maus' marvelous collection of stories and poems from the worlds' best writers, including tl.: Bible, and musical talent to ac company the readings and t o space the readings by solos. When Miss Maus herself gives the program, assisted by Mrs. Faith Edgar, both of Long Beach (Lain.), she makes use of effective cos tumes, lighting, and is accompanied by Mrs. hdgar on the marimba. Bur a most beautiful program could be arranged by using some of the material in "Christ and the Fine Arts" (Harpers - 1938),and perhaps violin and piano music. or. perhaps organ music, there could be vocal selections, too. Perhaps some of the little stories could be dramatized. Before going too deeply into the matter maybe one should inquire of Miss Maus as to use of the mat erial in such a way, for certainly credit would be obligatory. Miss Maus spent many years collecting the material, during which time she interviewed copyright owners of the stories and poems, besides contacting them by letter, wire, and cable. "I spent a small for tune" she says, "in this work" She treasures appreciative let ters from many sources, many re ligious groups. One is from the Vatican. In addition to Christ and the Fine Arts, which I borrowed from the State library and quite likely may be found on local li brary shelves, Miss Maus has also compiled another volume, The World's Great Madonnas. I have not seen the second volume as yet but have it on my list. I suppose if we needed more than twenty-four hours in each day, the extra hours would have been given us. It's presumptuous, per haps, to wish there were mora time, when perhaps we do not use as wisely as we might the hours already given us. But anyway, I sigh, sometimes, as I glance around at shelves in a library. Don't you?

Paul's spirit got restless about 30 years ago. Yearning for a mod ern touciv he stepped out of lumber and into a thing called ply wood. He sat in with us back in 1921 when we pioneered the man ufacture of Douglas fir plywood for commercial purposes. With his seven league boots he strode with us from Washington to Oregon in 1939. He helped us with many new de velopments. The system of bark ing, peeling, clipping, offbearing, and grading was improved. Lathe refinements were initiated. Drying facilities were improved. The Skoog patihcr, a machine that cuts out defects, inserts and seals the patch in one operation, came in great demand by the entire ply wood industry. Paul aided in laying out and in building our plywood plants, our lumber mill, our logging camp. Then he took over the construc tion crews who built our company warehouses in San Francisco, St. Louis, Dallas. But he got home sick for Oregon and returned to develop our new trademark, and .l, .l l l ..i.l we iMciuuu uy wfuin we put mis brand of quality on every plywood panel we produce. Paul still walks here. We just saw him, heading for a meeting of employees and management. Sub ject: how to do things still better.
