STANTON If Douglas county' public park program never got fur ther than the Winchester Bay development, it would be a very successful project. We had the pleasure of accompanying the county parks board to the lower Umpqua area last weekend to inspect ac tivities in that community. The prospect for recreational development are stupendous. . , The Winchester Bay Tidelands Park and Eoat Basin is a recreational project with almost unlimited possibilities. Here we have a large bay offering year around angling. To date only the unique summer salmon season has been ex ploited, but there is no reason why this resort area should not have all-year patronage. The salmon fishing is spectacular. The season begin about the middle of June and lasts through September. Salmon migrating along the coast enter the bay to feed. Pe culiarly, few of these are Umpqua river fish. Tag studies show that they are salmon on their way to the Columbia or to rivers of British Columbia. At the same time, the bay i abundant with striped bass, black bass, and other big fish. Occasionally, the fisherman may hook a halibut. In any . event, he may be reasonably sure that any fish he hooks will be big. For this reason, fishermen come from far and near to throng the bay. Difficult Management Problem The county has obtained title to the entire bayfront, to gether with all riparian rights. ThVougH donation from John and Ruth Ziolkousky, the department ha acquired a five acre tract to be converted into picnic grounds. Land acquisition now i well in hand, but the manage ment problems offer many headaches. With several hundreds of fishermen using the bay al most daily, space must be provided for parking automobiles, which have numbered as many as 2,500 in one day, sanitary facilities must be built and maintained, boat traffic, safety regulations, etc., must be directed. One of the chief prob lem is that of handling concessions. It 1 necessary that rental boats be made available, but there is little space in which to operate boat moorages. This is a matter which must be settled soon. More facilities for charter and rental boats are imperative. The Winchester Bay recreational development Is in its infancy. The resort is beginning to attract more and more winter and spring anglers. It Is a fine spot for perch, torn cod and various bottom fish. Local angler are at present fishing a nice run ot blueback trout. When fishermen from other localities begin to learn of the recreational possibilities of the bay at times other than the widely featured salmon season, the community will he busy throughout the entire year. Favored Recreational Spot We have long been of the opinion that the lower Ump qua area eventually will develop as one of the Pacific coast's favored recreational spots. It has everything. Within a ra dius of a few miles from Beedsport, one can enjoy bay and surf fishing, river trolling, bait casting, fly fishing, etc. Also nearby are lakes where one may take bass, perch, and In season, silverside salmon and sea-run cutthroats. H will not be long, we predict, until big money starts moving Into that area to commercialize recreational re sources. The trend already has started at Winchester Bay, where new investments will yield in taxes within a few years far more money than has been spent on development. We ex pect to see large resorts built up soon throughout the area, with widesnread advertising to attract vacationists through out the entire year instead of during the summer season onlv as at present. Many Sites Available Our parks department very wisely has concentrat ed rather heavily in that section of the county and is gather ing up lands in advance of commercialized recreation, thus protecting the public interest. Winchester bay will forever be accessible to the public, regardless of how many commer cial enterprises move in. We traveled over miles of mountain road to reach a park ite at Ada on Siltcoo lake. While difficult to reach by road, it is only a few minutes away from Westlake by boat. We also saw a delightful site on Smith river, at Otter slough. The county owns sand dune property near (lardi ncr. Several additional picnic sites are expected soon as do nations. The present outlook is that even though much river and lake frontage may be taken over commercially, as we be lieve is certain la occur during the next few years, the pub lie will have enough access sites, picnic grounds, etc., that it cannot be crowded out. Improvement and .'evelopment of sites other than t h e Winchester Bay properties can be delayed, as thev are not immediately needed. But the dav will come, we predict, when the foresight of the parks department in reserving p-ites will meet enthusiastic and grateful commendation.

In The Day's News By FRANK JENKINS (Continued from Page 1) might bring Ruasia into the fight ing and thus start another world war. That doesn't make sense to (it. Trying to look at it logically, it seems to me that no matter what we do the Russians won't start a war until they think they are READY AND CAN WIN. When they think they are READY and are sure they can WIN, they'll come in with every thing they've got REGARDLESS of what we do. That's the way war goes. Here's another thing that doesn't make sense to me: Everybody admits that Russia could take all of Western Europe She is supposed to have 17S di visions all set and ready to march at a moment's notice. Relatively, we have no strength at all with which to oppose her if she should strike with everything she has for the English channel. We're starting out to BUILD UP strength in Europe. According to what we are told, it will take us at least two years to get stron? enough there to stop the Russians dead in their tracks if they should start something. Can you imagine Russia sitting tight and sucking her thumb FOR TWO YEARS while just across the fence we build up the strength with which to lick the socks off her? I can't! A proposition such as that just won't make sense so far as I am concerned. Let's look for a moment at this "war of attrition" we're waging in Korea. The Chinese, we are told, are los ing men at the rate of a million a year. According to the figures given to us, that is at least ten times our losses. So The reasoning goes If we go on long enough KIL LING ENOUGH CHINESE, we'll have Red China where the hair is short. That, also, doesn't make sense. I rinn't Irnnu Uhat (ha f'Kinnea birth rate is, but it is high. I'm certain it s tar over a million a year. The Communist idea is that Chinese mannou'er is rinnnn fn1- der strictly expendable. suppose we go on indefinitely into the future killing and maiming a million Chinese a year at a cost of 100,000 Americans annually killed and maimed. Where does that get us? Here, I'd say, is where it will get us: "Plitty cans." soon no more Ameri- Vail J Nat-flcta kaa ol I I Mw4t I I 1 5 a. I 1-263 1 batwM fclSawctrp-sa. HARVEY W. KRIN.G, M. D.

We once knew a little girl who determined she'd give her mummy a scrumptious gift: she learned a poem! Then there were the three married daughters who ar , rived at Mother's bright and early on Her Day and cleaned the house from top to bottom. One of them even darned grandpop's socks. A busy executive found he wasn't too busy to write his mother a ten-page letter telling her everything he'd been doing. A teen-age youngster swept out the garage, cut the grass, put up the screens and finished in a blaxe of glory by making his own room really ship-shape. Another family took Mother on a picnic, and for onct they let her pick out the spot where she wanted to stop. John flew home for a visit. Mary called from Califor nia.
