cHighest Average
Temperature For
December Noted
Roseburg experienced the hieh
est average December tempera
ture on renord in 1950.
Averaging 49.2 degrees, it was
the highest average mark for any
December ;n 7.1 years of Roseburg
station record, according to fig
ures released by the local weather
bureau. ,
The figure is computed by av
eraging the average maximum
with the average minimum in a
given month. In the case of last
December, the average maximum
was 54 degrees, ranking fourth
highest on record. A record-breaking
average minimum of 44.4 com
bined to boost the total average
to a record warmth. Previous high
minimum avera'e for a December
was 42.7 in 1917.
Three instances of higher aver
age maximum readings were re
corded in Decembers of 1917 with
54.4, 19,13 with 55.1, and 1939 with
54.4 degrees.
To add zest to the pace-selling,
statistics show that only twice dur
ing Decembers of the past 20 years
has the monthly sunshine percent
age been less than the 12 percent
recorded last December. The rec
ord low was 9 degrees in 1941.
Precipitation figures indicate a
.53 inch departure from the nor
mal. Total for the month was 4.81
inches.

Wife Must Be Married,
Ruling Of Magistrates
BIRMINGHAM, Eng. (l
A panel of magistrates, after two
weeks of thoughtful study ruled
that a wife must be married.
Sydney Eyre, a railway w.vver,
was accused of getting renured
fnre tickets for a woman hy Msely
s.iving she was his wife. He ad
mitted he wasn't married to her,
but said she is his housekeeper
a id is the mother of his three cnil-
'Iten.
Dictionaries define "wife' as a
woman united in lawful wedlock.
Put the defense contended that
oiher definitions call her 'house
keeper" without mentioning wed
lock, and that the word irnlly
comes from Ihe Anglo-Saxon 'Vif"
meaning, simply, lady.

Sanitary District
Plan Up To Study
By Committee
Whether tht area west of ?oe
hi,rg and west of the North Rose
burg Sanitary district should form
its own sanitary district and con
struct a sewage disposal -plant, r
annex to the North Roseburg dis
trict, was the question discussed at
i meeting of interested res deuti
with sanitary authorities Tuesdiy
night. The meeting was held in the
courthouse.
A report on a preliminary sur
vey by Cornell, Howland, riayns
and Merryfield, consulting engi
ne-era of Corvallis, was maae hy
John Anderson and Ralph Roder
ick, resident engineers.
According to-a rough estimate,
the cost of either plan would bi
at-out the same in the long rin.
While it would prohably be lilue
less expensive at the present lime
lo annex to the North Rostburg
d strict and use its disposal plant,
the new area is growing &o rapioly
it is only a matter of time Mntil a
separate district with a disposal
plant further down the river might
be practical, it was brought mil.
A committee, with Bill Neigh
bors as ehairman, was appoinied
to study the plans to deiermine
which would be the most feasible
for the area at the present lime,
and lo fix boundaries for the dis
trict to be formed or annexed. O'h
ers on the committee are A. A.

J. H. Bond's New
Wildlife Picture
To Be Shown Here
James fL Bond's, newest wild
life picture "Life In The Wilder
ness," is to be shown in Roseburg
Jan. 29, .10 and 31. Arrangements
for Ihe show, which will be pre
senled in the junior hish school
auditorium, are in charge of the
Roseburg Rod and Gun club.
This will be Bond's third ap
pearance in Hoseburg with pic
tures taken in Yukon territory.
On his first trip into the remote
region, just below Ihe Arctic circle
four years a-jo, Bond stayed
longer than he had planned, mak
ing pictures and studying b i I
name for Ihe territorial fish and
(game commission. Because his
! pack siring could not carry out
supplies and trophies over thaw
j ing muskeg, Bond and one of his
i two guides travelled hundreds of
miles in a crudely constructed
I boat built from tree roots and
I green caribou hides.
Whilt visiting his brother, Theo
I Bond, in Roseburg, he was pre
vailed upon I" snow his picture
lo a Roseburg audience. The re
! ceplion was so enthusiastic that
Bond abandoned his plan to sell
! Ihe film i:nd, instead, took it on
j tour in the interest of wildlife
I conservation. Subsequently he re
: ceived invitations lo present his
show from coast to coast.
He returned to the Yukon a year
later to make a second film, which
again attracted widespread inter
; esl.
His third trip into the region
was made last summer and his
latest picture, with experience
gained from two previous shows,
is said to be his best production.
Bond now is covering the entire
! state of Oregon presenting h i s
: show in all major towns under
! joint sponsorship of the Oregon
: Wildlife federation and Oregon di

afliliated clubs and chapters.
