BUSENBARK PARK By Charles A 28-aere grove, ideal being dedicated to the public D. N. Busenbark. We can think of no finer or dead, than a spot where people may find relaxation and eniovment in one of Mother Nature's playgrounds. The county court, in our opinion, honor upon a man who well name in recognition lor outstanding service given in puuuc office. Busenbark park, ideally situated adjoining the old Coos Bay highway near Reston, will forever be a monument to a man who has faithfully and earnestly discharged a public trust and who has contributed in a far greater measure than many people realize to Judge's Task Not Easy The office of county judge is not a "soft" political position. Instead it demands the patience of Job and the wisdom of Solomon. It requires the ability to resist heavy pressure from selfish interests, yet maintain a spirit of tolerance and friendliness in critical public. It can be a heartbreaking job at times, especially in handling the work of the juvenile court, where boys and girls are brought into contact with agencies designed for the protection of society. Human judgment upon youngsters who have set foot upon the wrong social road is heavily weighted with rcsuonsibilitv. Particularly is this true when the court must determine factors influencing mis. conduct and decide what corrective measures are to be used. Judge Busenbark has not shirked these tasks. He is widely known throughout the state for his wisdom and justice in handling juvenile problems. His shrewd business acumen based on the instinctive conservatism of a life-long agriculturist has, with cooper ation from commissioners, established Douglas county's financial standing as tops in the State of Oregon. At a time when large sums of money were coming into the treasury through sales of county-owned lands and timber, it would have been easy to yield to insistent demands to spend this income on needed improvements. But realizing that the asset would soon be gone, the county court set up policies of long-term contracts, sinking funds, etc., thus spreading income over a long period of years, providing cushions against seasons of less prosperity. Public Parks Program Adopted Judge Busenbark's instinctive conservatism In the handling of county funds caused him to engage in the county's now famed recreational land acquisition program somewhat reluctantly. But open mindedness led him to realize quite quickly that the program was deserving of support and he immediately became ardent and aggressive in its promotion. Due to the court's activities, Douglas county already has an excellent nucleus of small parks, access strips, picnic grounds, water frontage, etc., and a tidelands park at Win chester Bay. Trie program has commanded widespread attention and commendation throughout all of Oregon. Now being outlined is a plan for organization of a county public parks department, to serve as an agent of the county court acquiring, improving, maintaining and supervising recreational lands. Many hundreds of acres doubtless will be added to the park system during the coming years. Busenbark park, we believe, will be a particularly ap propriate addition.

Wc learned that in Korea. For years, we've been AITROI'RIATING MONEY. We've been appropriating a heck of a lot of it for MILI TARY PURPOSES.

Chairman James Dillard told Housing Expediter Tighe Woods that six of the complaints Involved military personnel. Four of them were anonymous and were settled before the board could get names or details, he said. Last month Mayor Arthur Mee han spoke of the six military com plaints which involved families of Spokane air force base men w ho i had been sent to Korea. The mayor i said he would recommend that con trols be put back on if more com plaints were received. . Dillard said all 21 cases con- corned rent increases.

They won't keep our boys from being taken prisoner and after they are taken prisoner BEING SHOT DOWN IN COI.II BLOOD BY THE BARBARIANS WHO CAPTURED THEM. This is the lesson we've GOT to learn: WE CAN'T LICK COMMUNIST RUSSIA WITH PAPER DOLLARS! It's going to take guns and tanks and planes and ships AND IT'S GOING TO TAKE MEN TO MAN THE GUNS AND THE TANKS AND THE PLANES AND THE SHIPS. To get the guns and the tanks and the planes and the ships, and at thu same lime to make the things we need lo keep our stand ard of living from falling sharply, IT'S GOING TO TAKE HARD WORK. Wand-waving just won't turn the trick. We'd better remember that be fore we go any farther Rail Operating Revenue In Oregon Decreases SALEM (.PI Railroads had tolal operating revenues of S:i'., 716,974 on their operations within (he state of Oregon during 11M9, Public Utilities Commissioner (ironic It. Flagg said. This was a decrease of S4.IC6.365 from the 1948 figure. The railroads not operating rev. enue was S13.M7.3ti7, a drop of $2. 7S7.786 Irani 1948.

The railroads paid $.".193,215 in taxes on their Oregon business. They hauled 40.-'73,93 carloads of freight, a decline of 4.171,482 carloads from the 1948 total. LAST TOUCi.FS Katherlne Rtubergh, Loi Anfelr sculptress, finishes a wax head of a western character, one of J6 for Centennial Exposition of California Journalism at San Diet o. A small boy once remarked as he glanced up from the customary daily Bible reading. "Daniel made a regular business of prayer, didn t he!" and after a moment added with conviction, "and it sure paid o(f!" Right now the president of the Federation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. Hiram Houghton of Red Wing, Iowa, is urging every local president to have family prayers in the home for victory in the Korean war, and to prevent the spread of communism. Said Mrs. Houghton in a IqMcV to President Truman: "As a na tion dedicated to belief in God, and freedom for all mankind, we believe in prayer. We also feel that the great contribution which the United States of America has to make to the world is a spiritual one and that women can make a major contribution by emphasiz ing this." Yes. women everywhere can "emphasize this'' by earnest prayer, first in her own heart, then by asking the family to take a few moments, cither individually or collectively, each morning. And then through the day, women can New High School To Cost PORTLAND (.T Portland's new Lincoln high school building serving all of the west side w ill be built at a construction cost of $2,467,947.

(.P Two air force fliers were fatally injured, one was reported missing and a fourth was critically injured last night when two B-26 bombers col lided, tell to earth and exploded on the desert about 20 miles west of here. Withdrawal Of Americans From Formosa Asked TOKYO, Friday (P The Chinese Communists Thursday de manded that the United Nations order withdrawal of all American forces from Formosa and an nounced the Red intention to "lib erate" that island from the Na tionalists. The announcement by the Pci ping radio was heard by the As sociated Press in Tokyo. It said the .. demand for American with draw! was sent by Chinese Com munist Foreign Minister Chou En lai to the U. N. Security council and Secretary General Trygve Lie. The United States has no armed forces on Formosa, last major re doubt of the Chinese Nationalists, but the U. S. Seventh fleet is pa trolling the Formosa strait to pre vent an often-threatened Red at tack. "The people of China cannot tol erate the action of armed aggres sion by tht United States govern ment on the territory of China," the radio quoted Chou's message to the U. N. It went on to cite the presence of the Seventh fleet and of some American air force contingents on Formosa. Chou charged that the American presence was "an open encroach ment on the territory of the Peo ple's Republic' of China" (the of ficial name of the Red regime). He asserted it was direct armed aggression and was a total vio lation of the U. N. charter. Chou demanded that the Security council condemn the U. S. gov ernment "for its criminal act and take immediate measures to bring about the complete with drawal of all the United States in vading forces from Taiwan (For mosa) and from other territories belonging to China." Green School Sets Date For Pre-Registration Pre-registration for students en teiing the Green school in district five will be held Sept. 1 and school will open Sept. 5, according to W. C. Stonebraker, principal. Health examinations for students entering the first grade, which are required by state law, will also be held Sept. 1, starting at 8:30. Ex aminations will be given by Dr. George Lenci, assisted by M r s. Mary Barrett, county health nurse. Buses will run one-half hour early to reach school by 8:30, Stonebraker said. The examin ations will start early because Dr. Lenci was available at no other time. Mothers were asked to accom pany the children who are enter ing (he first grade and to bring birth certificates. Jantzen Beach Park .. Faces Damage Action PORTLAND t.W Robert Hamme, 20, went to the Jantzen Beach park fun house Aug. 6 and now he said the fun he had ought to cost the park $33,792. What happened, he said in a suit filed for that sum in circuit court, was that he fell down in the re volving barrel and broke his col lar bone. Because he is a painter, that put him out of work, he said. Hamme complained (hat the only employe around was "busily engaged in operating air jets which caused the clothing of . . . customers and guests to fly up ward, causing great confusion." HOP RANCH CABINS BURN SALEM .P Fire caused by a short circuit destroyed 10 cabins Thursday at the Frank Needham hop ranch near here. All of the cabins were occupied by pickers, and some of the fam ilies lost all their possessions. Loss of the cabins was covered by insurance, but no estimate of the loss was available. The ranch had a total of 50 cabins. Early American Victory In Korea Will Be Low In Cost Compared To Previous Wars BY ELTON C. FAY WASHINGTON (. If the armed forces can win a Korean victory without any more money than they will be cheap in dollars as modern conflicts go. Just how much of the extra money asked since the fighting started will go to prosecuting the Korean conflict the military doesn't say publicly. However, some guesses range about $5,000,000,000. But there is no certainty the out lay will stop there. Secretary of Defense Johnson and other mili tary leaders have cautioned Con gress they may have to come back for more money. The navy and air force dis closed their estimates in published testimony at hearings on the re quest for $10,500,000,000 in new de fense funds sent to Congress by President Truman on July 24. An other supplemental request on Aug. 4 totaled about $1,100,000.0(KM The navy said that only about $1,000,000,000 o f its proposed $2,648,029,000 slice of the $10,500. 000 appropriation was believed needed for the Korean war. Air force officials said they were "carrying an estimate of $1,600, 000,000," for the Korean operation. The army set down no estimate in the published versidn of the testimony. Officials explain that one of the reasons for this is that requests for material and man power made by the Far East com mand are changing constantly. However, the army is carrying by far the heaviest share of the hard fighting in Korea. Its expendi ture of ammunition, its loss of equipment and materiel, its main tenance of men and war gear is far beyond those for the other services perhaps more than dou ble the total of the other two. The extra appropriation requests sent to capitol hill by Mr. Tru man were for a dual purpose part lo wage the Korean war, part to go into the rearmament pro gram to expand and improve the armed forces. Costs of Past Wars Cited What about the costs for other recent wars? The first cost of World War 1 was about $27,000,000,000. But by 1950 such items as veterans pay ments and loans to allies had boosted the total to about $57,000, 000,000. President Coolidge esti mated the ultimate cost might be nearly $100,000,000,000. The initial cost of American par- iiLijauon in world war 11 was about $35,000,000,000. But some experts have estimated the ulti mate cost to the United States of that global conflict may climb to $1,404,000,000,000. The relatively low estimates by the navy and air force for then part in the Korean war reflects the fact that neither service up to now has had to reckon with any thing but minor losses of equip ment. There is neither a North Korean air force nor navy worthy of note. The navy has reported no losses of ships. The air force has lost only a handful of planes to anti aircraft fire. Ammunition Top Item The big items for both services are expenditure of ammunition tons upon tons of, shells in naval bombardment of enemy targets and small carft afloat and of high explosive bombs by planes of both the air force and navy. The mere item of daily operation of a reasonably large force of ships and aircraft, with the thou sands of men manning and main taining them, is a factor, too. The navy now has more than 150 ships of all sizes in or near the war lone. The air force has about 100 B-29 bombers and hundreds of fighters and transports. All this involves what the mili tary calls "attrition" the wear ing out and loss of equipment by accident. But it is the ground force, the army and marines, which use JCC Beginners' Driving School To Start Soon The beginners' driving school, sponsored by the Roseburg Junior Chamber of Commerce, is return ing this summer by popular de mand. Bill Endicott, who is in charge of the school, said many requests have been received for a repeat of the drivers school held last summer. Sixteen students will be regist ered starting this Friday, on a first-eome-first-serve basis. Sixteen is the limit JCC instructors can handle, Endicott said. Lessons will be given on Tues day and Thursday, starting Aug. 29, for four weeks. They will start at 7:00 P.M. at the first lot cast of Digby's market on Garden valley road. Registration may be made a t Tipton and Permin insurance of fice, 214 W. Cass St., or at Bar cus Sales and Service highway 99 north. Those registering must have a beginners' drivers permit and their own car. WRONG-WAY CANINE GLENDALE, Calif. f.B "Duke", a two-year-old German shepherd, has returned from an 11.000-mile air flight that was strictly unscheduled. The Byron G. O'Hara family re cently took Duke along on an air trip to San Francisco. On the re turn flight, the dog's crate some how got on the wrong plane. The family returned home with no dog. O'Hara, an airways pilot, started checking. He finally located "Duke" on Guam, just about ready to take a rlane for Manila. BLUE LAKE CANNING BEANS You Pick POUND 5' MOORE and RICE BEAN YARD On Highway 99 1 Mil South of Dillard have asked for up to now this war mountains of material to hold back the Red army and build up strength for an eventual counter offensive Almost a dozen American and South Korean divisions, or their equivalent, are in action (We sup ply the South Koreans.) In the item of ammunition alone, a division eats up about 230 tons in a single day of action like that now going on. Expenditure of about 3,000 tons of ammunition a day costs plenty and that is only a single item oi ground force expenditure. Sal Salmon Says...
