PARKS PROGRAM GROWS
By CHARLES V. 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.

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.

suppose we go on indefinitely
into the future killing and maiming
a million Chinese a year at a cost
of 100,000 Americans annually

Where does that get us?

Wt onet It new a rising young business man who govt
his wife a wonderful Mother's Day present: breakfast in bed
and the firm, fatherly care of the youngsters all day.
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. And these were the best presents ever!
All of which proves you don't have to deal with us to
celebrate Mother's Day; you have to deal with yourself.
