( By Charles V- Stanton s. a r "Upon occasion we have difficulty preparing this column. (Maybe some people would be happier if we didn't.) But today, for, example, we put off the task until the last, moment. Then,, with printers yelling for our copy we sat down to dash off a deep observation on world eco nomics. As we started composing our notes . . . Just a minute please, here comes a caller. j- - Well, the caller left. Took about an hour. He's run ning for office and we had to listen to a couple of his speeches. . ; .' Nice guy though. We like him. Might even vote for him. iVhere were 'we? Oh yes, we were just getting ready to compose an epic on politics. Now where did we put those notes? Well, guess that was some of the paper we tore into shreds while demonstrating what we'd like to do to communists in our governments. Let's see if we can get back some of the ideas we were putting down. Just ft minute, please telephone. Lady wanted the names of several Oregon newspapers. After' we gave them to her, she wanted to know where she could find a list of all the newspapers in Oregon. Seems she, had an Oregon Blue Book, but didn't know it listed thehi.'

' Just a 'minute please. - I V Printer wants to know when we'll have our copy ready. It'll just be a minute, now. Nqw where are those notes? What was it we had in mind? Oh yes the Korean war. What did we have on those notes? Was it from today's dispatches, or was it some comment on what Nimitz had to say about remnants of the old Jap army? Well, either one will do. We'll make some more notes and . . . Just a minute please telephone. Secretary just called to tell us there'll be a meeting of the Roseburg Rod and Gun club "board of directors and we'd better be there because we've missed a couple of meetings. Doggone! He's right. We have passed up a couple of sessions. Better go this time. Well, better get at the job of filling up our column. Let's see. . We were going to write something about what the heck was it? Oh yes fishing. We'd better com pose some notes. . . No, we don't need notes to write about fishing. But that gives Us an idea! "Hey, Copy Boy. "Tell the printer we won't have any copy for our col umn today. "Leave it blank. "We're going fishing." V In The Day's News By FRANK (Continued trom page One) stooges are long on man-power. With the aid of Russia, they are becoming militarily strong. These North Koreans we've been fighting for nearly two months are nobody's duck soup. They're tough and com petent fighters. When the time comes to face them, we'll find the Chinese communists tough and competent fighters. These stooges of Russia are so distributed over the world that to fight them we'll HAVE TO FIGHT ALL, OVER THE WORLD. Fighting all over the world is staggeringly expensive. Expensive in dollars. Expensive In men. Russia obviously hopes that we'll wear ourselves out fighting her stooges all over the world, and when we've worn ourselves out fighting her stooges she'll step in LETTERS to the Editor Criticizes Low Bids For 4-H Livestock At Fair ROSEBURG What is the mat ter with the business men of our community that they don't support the 4-H boys and girls any better than they do? . Last Saturday there was an auc tion of the fat stock of the boys and girls wanting to sell their stock at the fair. The prices paid were disgraceful and certainly weren't any inducement for the kids to put In lot of time and effort in raising their stuff and figuring on getting a little better than just market prices for the prize-winning calves. Usually the leading restaurants and hotels, along with the mar kets, wjll bid these calves in at a good figure as an incentive to the kids to try and do better an other year. But not one of the restaurants or meat markets had representa tives out there to bid on the stock. In comparison the top Angus IT BLANK JENKINS. and deliver the finishing blow as the matador, when the time comes, finishes off the bull. If we're going to upset Russia's hope, we've got to be good.

I read in one of the Portland papers this morning that the ton Angus, weighting 900 pounds, sold for 61 cents per pound, and a Hereford went for 60 cents at the Grants Pass fat stock 4 II auction: and I'll bet they weren't any better than our own. I can see now why Grants Pass I is getting stronger all the time athletically when they have boost ers like that backing the boys and girls. It seems to me that our mer chants are breaking faith with the kids when they don't support them any better than that and it cer tainly won't bring them back an other year. So let's get behind the 4-H and other clubs and show the kids that we are just as progressive here as at Grants Pass. A. C. McGHEHEY Roseburg, Ore. GRID IMMORTAL DIES HAMDEN. Conn.

IJaul Jenkins photo) Prejudice, simple prejudice, kept me, lor years, from taking any interest in the gaudily colored. Eaper-hnckecl, twenty-five cent ooks ubiquitous nowadays. Then one day a title caught my eye. Amazed to discover such a book in the shelves, I began to really sec. the pockcthooks. And to buy copies. 1 was thinking, the other day, what a boon some of the books I have seen ottered for a quarter would be for the young student. To be sure a nicely bound book is more satisfying. Who can pick up a beautiful hook without a feeling of pleasure? But if three dollars more or less are needed for something else, the handy little pockctsiie volume can serve very well indeed. I saw a copy of Roget's Thesaurus, the other day. Think of a tool like that for twenty-five cents. What if the young person has not yet dis covered its value! If some thought ful adult puts it within his reach, sooner or later it will become a tool almost as indispensable as the dictionary. I like to think ot the labor and love that went into the making of the Thesaurus. The first edition was published in 1852. In 1869, Dr. Roget was still at work on the enlarged edition when he passed on, leaving the task to his son, John. In 908 the son laid down his share of the work and joined his father. Thereupon the grand son of the first Roget, Samuel, took up the work. My copy is the 1910 edition. Perhaps later issues may have additions, but in essence the work, a monumental work, is the same. It might increase the inter est in it if a young person knew the story. Of course he soon learns that Thesaurus is merely Latin for treasure, and treasure is just what it is in i moment of need.

The 10-week strike against the New York World Telegram and Sun ended Tuesday and the newspaper said it would start publishing again next Monday. Striking CIO American News paper guildsmen voted 270 to 90 to accept a two-year contract worked out Saturday. Picketing that closed the plant when the strike began June 13 topped immediately after the vote. Both sides claimed gains in the compromise settlement. The terms call for a freeze on economy firings for the first year. with advance notice and the privi lege of arbitration in the second year; pay raises up to $10 a week for a top minimum wage of $120 a week; and guaranteed "mainten ance of membership" for the guild. Other terms were a 35-hour week, Improved holiday, vacation and military leave clauses, and extra premium pay for night work. The guild failed to get the "nine out of ten" union shop it sought, but the maintenance of member ship gives it approximately, a four out of five majority among near ly 500 elgible employes. The guild also accepted modified terms in some af the other fields. The strength of the guild trike by 400 news and business depart ment worker hinged largly on the action of the AFL mechanical un ions, which followed up a mutual support pact with the guild by honoring its CIO picket lines. After the AFL workers near ly 1,000 strong refused to en ter the plant June 13, the man agement suspended publication. It was the first such suspension in New York City newspaper his tory. . Astoria Clerks Get Pay Raise As Walkout Ends STORIA UP) A compromise agreement has ended the strike of the AFL Retail Clerks union. Ted Farris, union business agent, said the new agreement gives a boost of 7.5 cents an hour in the pay scale for variety store employes and 5 cents for depart ment store clerks, retroactive to July 17. The union had asked a 10-cent boost for the variety store workers. He said there were "good gains" in working conditions but did not say what they were. The strike brought picketing at three stores of the 21-employe re tail association group.

Crushing Of North Koreans Will Force Russia To Alter Plans For Offensive In Asia BY ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON-iP)-What will Russia do when her North Korean satellite begins to lose the war? . Reverses for tbe Red Korean army will force a decision by the Soviets on whether to move openly into the Asiaic war or bide their time for another day when the stakes could be greater and the odds better. The time for Moscow's decision, apparently is coming nearer. The swift and long advance of the North Korean army has ground down to at least a temporary halt. The build-up of strength by Amer ican forces, with more help from other United Nations members in the offing, is underway. An of fensive to destroy the Korean Red military force is in prospect for the months just ahead. And it is then Russia will have to decide. She will have to weigh the pos sible effect on other nations within the Soviet sphere of defeat for her Korean Communist state against the risks of taking a direct hand in war with the United States and United Nations. Russia, for reasons of her own, may conclude the time to move isn't now but later when her mil itary strength is even greater, meanwhile using the Korean sit uation as material for her peculiar propaganda technique. Some officials at high level in Washington incline to the belief that Russia doesn't want to pro voke a world war until later, when she is fully prepared. Sovitt Needs More Time . The timetable they use in these guesses varies considerably from two to five years. The Soviets have an immense army some estimates range around 4,000,000 which is equipped with superior tanks and excellent artillery. They have a large tact ical air force for support of the ground army. But the Russians may want more time to improve and aug ment weapons in the highly tech nical category. Another two or three years may be needed for them to stockpile a larger number of atomic bombs. They have the beginning of a long range bomber force for de livery of the bombs, but may need considerably more long range bombardment aviation- . They have begun a huge e x pansion of their submarine fleet. Although the Russian undersea fleet may number as many as 300 submarines, only a small por tion of that fleet is believed to be of the modern high speed type, equipped with snorkels for long unaerwaier cruises. R. E. Olds, Auto Pioneer, Nearing Death At 86 LANSING, Mich. UP) Auto mobile pioneer Ransom E. Olds was reported still "critically ill and weakening" at his home to day. Dr. T. I Bauer said the 86-year-old industrialist was suffering from the complications of old age.
