Our Chief Interest TO VIEW NEW PROCESSES By Charles V- Stanton Roseburjj will be host Sunday to editors and publishers of daily and weekly newspapers in southwestern Oregon. Twenty or more newspapermen are expected to be in at tendance at this district meetini? of the Oregon Newspaper Publishers association, called to consider production prob lems. We anticipate much interest in new methods recently introduced by The News-Review, inasmuch as these pro cesses are expected to gain wide use in small daily and weekly newspapers of the future. In fact, we read recently in The Quill, national publication of Sigma Delta Chi. pro fessional journalistic fraternity, that we may expect thous ands of small weekly and daily newspapers to start pub lication within the next few years, while larger papers will find publication to offer increasingly hard sledding. This situation is developing because new processes greatly reduce initial investment by small publications and permit lower operating cost. These processes include Varitypcr, Phototype, Teletype setter, Fairchild engraver, offset printing and others. No Longer Dependent On Type Until very recently newspapers have been entirely dependent upon mctnl type for printing processes. Type still is the most economical method for handling large pub lications. But now we have many small papers using pro cesses eliminating type entirely. In fact, Rosebtirg has such a publication in Dick Gilman's The Dotplus Fir, composed through combination of Varityper, artwork and offset print ing. Larger newspapers are beginning to make use of these inventions by combining them with normal type processes. The News-Review and The Herald and News, the latter pub lished at Klamath Falls, are the only Oregon daily news papers making wide use of new processes, being forced to adopt them because of the strike of composing room crews last June 27. Both newspapers have been applying some of these available new processes to a major part of local pro duction, and we imagine the visiting editors will be quite interested. Local Art Work Draws Interest The News-Review has received much favorable com ment on the work of its two artists, Allen Knudtson and Dan Mindolovich. Particularly interesting, and pleasing, has been the illustrative display work by Mindolovich. Perhaps you noticed in Thursday's edition of The News- Review the advertisement by Lawsons Jewelry. More than a score of drawings of jewelry, silverware, crystal and other items were made by Mindolovich for this display. His masterpiece, in our opinion, was the editorial cartoon, de picting Malm s smiling face looking down on a woman shopper hoarding food, used recently by Neilsen's Market ns'a public service appeal against war scare buying. Or, if you read Modern Furniture's ads, "Hank Cars ten's "Cat and Dog" sale ad or advertisements by any of the food stores, you saw a combination of processes. Hand-drawn and Phototype headings, Varitypcr body matter, and metal type, nil entered into the preparation of these appeals. Naturally, with only a few weeks of experimentation under adverse conditions, we haven't fully perfected our use of the various processes, but any reader of The News Review is able to follow the consistent improvement. te ME? mw I 1 IMS 'AWL?: I LmtAryi6 Airfields Moid tffiAer Personalities mm. ?y VUUmtt S. Martin By HAL BOYLE (Continued from page One) nuke (ewer men go farther.) Another interesting point: In th past few days, we haven't been hearing so much about infil tration of our lines by the North Korean Commies. There are prob ably two reasons for t h a t: U, We're learning heller how lo handle this infiltration business. 2. As' our lines get shorter, it's harder for the Commies to sneak through. (A good, tight line, capable of defense against infiltration, was described the other day as one where our GI's are close enough together to call back and forth lo each o t h e r: "Hi, Joe, what's rookin'?") This one from London Is Inter esting: "Britain announced last night she is ready to boost her defense spending to 9' billion dollars over the next three years if America will help the British economy ol absorb the shock." It is apparent, of course, that what Britain means is that if we'll put up the bulk of the dough she will make fX.Vi billion dollars worth of war material. But before scoffing remember that BRITAIN'S COSTS ARK SO MUCH LOWER THAN OURS that K'j billions spent for war mater ials there would about equal 20 bil lions spent here at home. That puts a different face on it. There's a lot of talk going nn as ' to whether or not we'll loan some j dough to Spain with the idea of i getting Spanish help if the war j,oes all out. Oddly enough, a hit ! nl people seem lo be lDKOLOtil-i CAI.LY opposed to the idea. I For example: In the senate the other day, Oregon's Sen. Morse and some other senators conceded Spain's strategic importance but said they "couldn't bring them selves to vote aid to a country where the government is fascist and there are no free elections." Maybe I'm just a sap, but to me tnai sounds iiKe lop-arawer torn myrot. In this ruckus, where all the chips are going to he down, I'M WHOLEHEARTEDLY KOR ANYBODY WHO WILL HELP US EIGHT THE COMMUNISTS. Fire Losses In July Are Reported The Roscburg fire department answered a total of 36 calls, 18 within the city and 23 rural calls, during July, the monthly report of Eire Chief William E. Mills states. While loss within the city was negligible, loss outside the city, including two lumber mills, totaled ! $20,450. Most of the rails were to grass fires. There were .ight grass fires in the city and 18 outside the city. While there was little damage caused by these grass fires, a great amount of property was en dangered in the immediate areas. The only damage within the city resulted from three motor vehicle fires, to the extent of S10S, and lo railroad property, $100. Rural damage other than that to mills was $150 at two home fires. Pubbish and litter was attrib uted as the cause of seven city fires. Three were caused from defective wiring, two from fire works, one each careless smokers, and overheated or defective flues and stoves. Matches and careless smokers were blamed for 13 rural fires; fireworks for seven; defective wir ing, one, and spontaneous com bustion, one. Murder Charge Feared By Heir j BRIDGEPORT, Conn. UFI I A Danbury physician came here to consult a criminal lawyer Fri day because, he said, "I assume I am to be accused of murder." : Dr. Donald F. Gibson made the statement to reporters after at tending the funeral of Elizabeth H. Ayres, 74-year-old spinster who left a modest fortune to him. Miss Ayres' death is under investiga tion. Gibson, World War II naval com mander, drove here to consult David Goldstein, noted Bridgeport criminal lawyer. There are no charges against Gibson. But he told reporters in Danbury before coming here, "I : feel it's necessary to have an ad visor." And he added quickly, "I don't see what they could accuse me of." Meanwhile Coroner Theodore E. Steiber said reports of ar autopsy i and "certain toxicological studies" would not be made public in ad vance of an inquest into Miss Ayres 'death next Tuesday. REVIVAL CONTINUES or th Sutherlin Assembly of God Church DON'T MISS THESE SERVICES Every Evening at 7:45 except Mondays Now thru Aug.. 13 Htro these inipiiotionol, forceful m.uogu of dtlivtttd by Rev. Ben H. Givent of Live Oak, California Idmond L. Riy Pastor The more I hear and read about I fish the more astonished I am. They stick to schedules without benefit of printed calendars and clocks. For instance, down a t Echo resort on the Umpqua, the genial Mr. Bradshaw explained it this way: About May tenth the shad come in, and the trout are fewer after that. Trout are in all spring till about June first. The shad are in the river until about July fourth, and as they leave the blucbacks come in. Chinook start about September first. "But," I said, remembering something I had read about Chin ook not eating as they went up stream then, "How do you catch them if they don't eat?" Mr. Bradshaw laughed. "They fight the bait." But to continue the calendar: "Last year the first 'striper' was caught June seven teenth; Ihey continue through June, July and August." I chatted awhile with Mrs. Brad shaw and looked at pictures of 'catches' which she had photo graphed with the proud fisher men and not all were men. There was one woman "who cried when she caught that one," and there was a small hoy holding a fish nearly as big a himself. "He caught it himself, too!" I was suddenly reminded of one time crossing the Atlantic when we watched a lot of Finns in the steerage eating what looked to us like raw fish. I imagine it was salted or pickled but it looked raw from where I stood. And one small boy held a fish between his chubby hands, eating while the tail of .hat fish dragged between his feet. No fooling! They had on fleece lined coats which they reversed according to the weather, an idea which our modern fashion designers have copied in slightly different materials. "Docs a disappointed fisher man," I asked the Bradshaws, "ever take it out on you?" Mis. Bradshaw laughed. "I'll say they do. You'd be surprised how many of them seem to think it's our fault if they failed to catch a fish! You meet all kinds of fisher men we'vr been here five years now but most of them are very nice, even when they don't catch fish! After all, we get the best information we can and give it to them . . .It' just a question of finding where the fish arc! Sometimes they hit a school and catch the limit TOO soon!" LETTERS to the Editor Forest Fir Editorial Elicits Appreciation ROSEBURG To the Editor We read with a great deal of interest your editorial in the July 28 issue of the Roscburg News Review entitled Fighting Forest Fires, i You portrayed very realistically just what should be done when a fire Is discovered.

As one of the protection agencies responsible lor lorest protection in this area, we wish to express our appreciation for your timely editorial and for the many othrr instances when vou have given valuable space to further the cause of lorest conservation. ROBERT AUFDERHEIOE, For est supervisor. By C. K. Rand Acting. Oregon's Private Pilots May Undergo Screening PORTLAND (AP)- Oregon'i Aviation association proposed here to police the atatc's privalc fliers to forstall any possible flying ban is result of the Korean war. About 50 Oregon airport oper ators met to draw up a plan to be ubmitted to the stale congression al delegation and to civilian and military officials concerned with protection of the Northwest. The proposal would screen all private pilots lo cull out commun ists and members of subversive groups: make flight plan filing mandatory; equip all plane wiih l two-way radios, il necessary; main- lain 24 hour guarding and lighting I of airports; dismantle all unused pianes to prevent possible use by saboteurs. The plan was drawn after offici als of the Washington Aviation association said they had been ad vised the air force plans to ground all private planes in the two states The Oregon association said such action action would weaken ! defense of the Pacific coast. It said private fliers could aid the air force ; in patrol and observation flights. I Floyd Johnson, Portland, war elected president of the association.

More, Cheaper Meat Next Three Months Forecast SAN FRANCISCO (.T) The western office of the American Meat institute forecasts that meat will he more plentiful and cheaper during the next three months. The institute said most -of the panicky buying following the Ko rean war outbreak has subsided and prices arc dropping. It said the war buying broke when meat supplies were at their low ebb because of light livestock marketings. Available quantities will be step ped up in the last quarter of the year by the meat industry, the institute statement continued, sn that there should he enough meat for all currently foreseeable mili tary and civilian needs.

A FORWARD BASE IN KOREA UP) The only people I know who love airfields are pilots. To an outsider, most airfields I . look alike. But Sthey hold person- 3-,:.: t dUllUS U L llicil (own to the men 'wheel planes through the skies. Just what the dif ference between them is, I have never been able to find out. An airport, to me, is just a con trot tower, a wind sock in the breeze and broad strios )f safety on which I can land and again feel Mother Nature welcome me through my feet. But airfields rfte homes to t h e fliers. They like to adventure through the cloud-filled pastures of space. Once they land, however, they want to stay right on the base and shoot gossip with the other boys. It's hard to get them to drive out and sec what the towns are like that the airbases are built to serve. To them, the airport itself is a complete city. And certainly this most advanced airstrip is a wonderful and compli cated community. It sends out fighter planes to deal death to the enemy and it receives our own battle-wounded and flics them out in comfort to a general hospital in Japan. Casual It is all done so casually and competently that a stranger could wander across the field and never know what was going on. This airstrip lies in a valley sur rounded by hills that wouid be called mountains in the Ozarks of Missouri and Arkansas but just humps in Colorado. It is much like Tafrui, Ihe fam ous World War II crossroads air field outside Oran in Africa. When the sun shines it ies hell swept by dust. When it rains you can take a dozen steps and the mud nn your feet will weigh more than your shoes. It is a pioneer village, built out of the need for immediate close sup- port of the ground troops. The j ground crews and fliers live in i lenls adjoining the field. An a i r control plane and the F-51 fighter planes it directs to the enemy tar gets can fly to the enemy front lines in 20 minutes or so. Somewhere, transport pilots from bases in Japan fly in a welcome case of beer for their buddies in combat. But there is no pampering of anybody. Often a flier who has, made three missions to the front" in a day comes home wreary at night to find the mess hall closed. They don't open it up again for him. He ea's out of a can and hits the sack worn out. It is strange but true that the fliers of the modern war are often older on the average than Infantry men. In the Second World War it was more the other way around. Family Men You see many Doughboys, for ex ample. Between 18 and 20 years of age. But three men in (he transport crew that flew me here a week ago are all married, and among them have ten children. They are the pilot. Capt. I.. N. Moke, Topeka, Kas.; Co pilot, Capt. Doran Kelly. Valleio, Calif., and the crew chief. Masicr Sgt. Arthur i.. r.rickson. Denver. Colo. I Capt. Moke has three girls and J a boy. Capt. Kelly aod Sgt. Erick i son have three children each. ! Cap'. Kelly recently served as i pilot for Jimmy Pnolittlo on his ; lour nf the war rone. But the big 1 cest thrill Ihe crew had came when their unarmed plane was fired on I by an enemy tank in the early I days of the campaign, i "We ducked into a cloud bank 1 over a mountain and got away, said Kelly. "But ever since then Sst. i Erickson keeos a sharo lookout I State EmDloves Assn. Favors Freeze On Prices A regular meeting of the Oregop State Employes association was held Aug. 3. at the Knights of Pythias hall with Pat Gregory pre siding. A resolution fro.n Klamath Falls chapter regarding parity pay with industry was discussed and sup ported in general. The local chap ter also went on record urging the parent organization to take all possible steps to promote the early adoption of a freeze of com modity prices, it was felt that such a freeze should be made retroactive to some date prior to the start of the current national emergency. The entertainment committee chairman, Harry Brownson, desig nated Sunday, Aug. 20 as chapter picnic day. The group will meet all day at the Roseburg Rod and Gun club grounds on that date.

ENGRAVING ... away to make gifts more personalized Tn taw thai anorauina le rnfflintf hark u-niilrl h an iniustirp. heraus it has never been away. But the personalizing of silver table ware and of jewelry especially gifts, by engraving inscriptions, initials or mono grams, however, is certainly becoming more popular. More than a mark of identification in case of loss, it is a work of beauty that adds much to the richness and meaning of the article. The illustration above was hand engraved upon a smooth metal plate. The letters on the left are samples of letter styles. All of this engraving was done in our store. There is a vast difference between hand engraving and machine engraving. The latter, the most common method today, is actually a scratch ing process or at best a grooving of the metal surface, because the machine cannot actually incise or cut away metal to leave the bright burnished sur face that imparts the spajkle to the hand engraved cut. Hand engraving is done with small tools as pictured in use above. Because lliry must be extremely sharp with a highly polished edge, hand engraved cuts are bright smooth incisions. Shading or variation in Ihe width nf the letter lines such as the top sample on the left is accomplished by varying the pitch of the tool. Needless to say, hand engraving is an art requiring considerable skill. Fine hand ensraving requires something of an artistic touch, for the formation of delicate and intricate letters and monogram designs is strictly artistic composition. See our window this week. In it are sample plates showing our engraving designs. Good jewelry service requires competant skilled jewelers. What you will see in our windows this week and in the futi re will prove that better service comes from skilled service. We do hand engraving, stone setting and jewelry making here in our own store. There is a minimum charge made for engraving of articles purchased at our store. I'pon purchase we will ensrave for identification your name or initials on Ihe back of your watch free of charge.
