Lions Further
Cancer Fund
Campaign Plans
Plana for sponsoring the Cancer
Society fund campaign in Rose
burg, as a memorial to Dr. L. M.
I.ehrbach, are being furthered by
the Lions club. Dr. Lehrhach was
a prominent Roseburg physician
and member of the Lions.
The club is sponsoring the ap
pearance here May 11 of the Uni
versity of Oregon's traveling show,
"The Milky Way." Admission will
be by complimentary tickets given
to Contributors to the cancer fund.
The Lions will sponsor a solicita
tion campaign, starting next week.
The Lions at their meeting
Thursday night discussed the cam.
paign. Which is headed by Allen
Clute.
The club'a. program for the eve
ning consisted of the. showing of
two motion pictures on our national
forests by Ray Hampton, director
of forest protection of the Umpqua
National forest staff in Roseburg.
The pictures were "Every Man'a
Empire," a pictorial of forest
areas, and "Smoke Jumpers,"
which portrayed the adventurous
and exciting work of forest fire
fighters parachuting from air
planes into the forest areas to put
out spot fires before they have a
chance to spread. The picture
showed the training required and
portective means to insure the
safety of the jumpers, landing in
the tall timber of Oregon.
Past President Dr. James E.
Campbell has been .appointed
chairman of the club's nominating
committee, which will consist ol
past presidents.
You know the type of grandma
I mean. She's the dear old white
haired soul with the kindly look,
sitting in a quaint rocking chair
and putting the finishing touches
on a quilt. And remember the old
fashioned grandpa? He's the gen
tle character with the time-frayed
moustache. He is seated hy the
ritaual of jewels ceremony. All
members and pledges are urged
to be present.

Well, that's the kind of grandma

as legendary as Santa Clans. I
have met a lot of grandparents re
cently, but none of them were sew
ing quilts or sitting by the fireside.
They have become streamlined
just like trains, airplanes and
motor cars. The jet age grandma
doesn't want to look like Whistler's
molher. Her model is Marlene
Dietrich, who is a grandma, too,
but gets a little tired of having
that tact mentioned so much.
Yep, grandma has done gone In
for glamor and sex appeal. The
only needle she knows is the one
she gives grandpa for stopping off
at a bar on his way home. She

in their children's chimney corner.
The younguns live with them, and
grandpa usually pays the rent. !
The big argument about the
house now isn't whether the grand-!
children should be spanked. It's ,
about whose turn is it to stay home !
and baby sit mother's or grand
molher's? "They're your kids," says grand
ma firmly, "You slay home and
raise 'em. You father and I are
already 1.S minutes late to our
samba lesson."
Nope, grandma is done with dia
pers. She'd rather play canasta
or talk about the loreign policy.
I Recently I visited a household
I that has one of those golden-haired
! little tots that used to fall asleep
on grandpa's lap. She was prettily
begging her mother to let her stay
up until midnight "just this
once."
"W h y?" said the harassed
mother.
"1 want to see grandma come
1 home." explained the tot.
And at a party 1 went to I spent
an hour with a couple of these
streamlined grandmas. One was
teaching the other how to blow
smoke rings, and all they discussed
was baseball and who would win
' the Kentucky derby. Gave me kind
of an eerie feeling, too.
You don't think grandma and
grandpa are stepping nut?
"Listen," said a night club oper
ator, "if they passed a law that
grandmas couldn't come out after
dark I'd havt to close up this
joint."

Well, it's kind of sad to have the
old-fashioned grandma and the old
lashioned grandpa vanish like
the dodo. But the new streamlined
models seem to have a lot more
fun. They may not act their age,
but it's ralher nice to see the old
folks growing young so disgracefully.

of a frail little girl, missing for
a week, was found floating in the
waters of a canal near her home
in a suburban textile community.

and drowned or met with foul

Graduate School
Pooling Approved
By Oregon House
SAI.EM (Pi A western
states compact to pool facilities
for specialized graduate school ed
ucation was assured after the
Oregon House voted to ratify it.
Oregon is the fifth state to ap
prove the compact, and it takes
five states to start the agreement
working.
However, It still must be ap
proved by Congress.
Under this agreement, gradu
ate schools in the 11 western
states, Hawaii and Alaska would
be opened up, at resident tuition
rates, to students of the other
states. Each state would help pay
for the support of the schools of
the other states.
This would make It unnecessary
for the states to establish new
graduate schools, and would make
it possible to build up the existing
schools.
Colorado. Montana, New Mex
ico and Utah are the other states
that already have ratified the com
pact. The compact was proposed by
the conference of western gover
nors. In a resolution sent to the Sen
ate, the House called for an in
terim committee to study labor
management, unemployment com
pensation, industrial accident an'.l
other labor laws.
Emergency Fund Action
Measures were sent to the gov
ernor to let Governor McKay
spend state emergency funds for
the next two years. This money
probably will total around $1,500,
000. It usually is spent by the
state emergency board, a legis
lative committee that has power
to make emergency appropria
tion between sessions.
But after it had existed 38 years.
Attorney General George Neuner
decided it is unconstitutional.
Legislative action was completed
on a proposed constitutional
amendment to make the emer
gency board legal. This will be on
the 1952 election ballot, so the
new hoard couldn't begin to oper
ate until after the 1953 legislature.
A bill to prohibit loan companies
from designating where borrowers
must get insurance on security for
loans was passed by the House
and sent to the governor.
A $27,707,000 appropriation to
run the state board of higher edu
cation for the two years begin-

ning" July 1 was aporoved by the
House and sent to the Senate.
The amount to run the state
university and colleges is $4,000,
000 less than the board asked.
The board said the appropriation
would force it to fire 60 to 70 fac
ulty members, and 65 civil service
employes, as well as to increase
stuilent fees 25 nercent.
Rep. Rudie Wilhelm, ,Ir., Port
land, told the House that the num
ber of students in the state insti
tutions of higher learning has
dronoed to 13,000 from a 1945 peak
of 20,000.
The future of Oregon Technical
insititute at Klamath Falls was
assured after the Senate sent to
the governor a $1 .40.1.000 appro
priation to run the school for the
next two years.
There were only five votes
against the bill.
Organized labor has bitterly op
posed the school, and made an
other effort to close it up.
Social Security Covers
Many More Employes
The recent amendments to the
Social Security act provide for cov
erage of some employees who have
never been covered before. Among
those groups are domestic and
farm workers. Employers of do
mestic and farm laborers are re
quired to file their first tax return
by the end of April.
Any persons employing workers"
in these categories should contact
the Bureau of Internal Revenue
or the Social Security administra
tion if they have any question as
to whether they are required to file
this particular report.
A representative of the Eugene
office of the Social Security admin
istration will be in Roseburg Tues
day. May 1, 1951, at fne city
council chambers between the
hours of 8:30 a. m. and noon, to
assist individuals in filing claims
for old-age and survivors insurance
benefits or answer questions con
cerning the Social Security act.
SHARK REPELLENT HELPS
SAN PEDRO. Calif. Pt A
chemical shark repellent devel
oped to save fliers downed at sea
is proving a boon to fishermen
here. The repellent, which comes
in small cakes, has proven ef
fective in chasing the killer fish
which destroy thousands of dol
lars worth of fishing nets by pur
suing smaller fish in'o them.
One skipper of a tuna trawler
reports that he lowered a net
equipped with the repellent in wa
ters iniested wiih sharks. He said
he caught 100 tons of fish without
being bothered hy a single shark.
The repellent affects the shark's
taste organs and robs the huge
fish of the desire to bite.
