THE FALL
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Roseburg's retail merchants are sponsoring their annual
Fall Opening Wednesday.
Few people realize the extensive planning and work con
nected with these events, staged for the public's entertain
ment and education.
This year's event brings to Roseburg a display of the
largest and best stock the city has ever known.
As a community grows, its merchandise service grows
with it. Through greater volume of business, merchants are
enabled to spend more money in service to their customers.
Because of Roseburg's growth, and the enthusiastic and com
petitive spirit of business management, the city's fall mer
chandise stock will be one of the best anywhere.
Nearly ftvery retail business has had its buyers in all of
the nation's chief buying centers. Store owners or their repre
sentatives have attended the principal merchandise shows
and have made their selections from the very latest fashions
and models.
Perhaps you have not thought of what personal attend
ance at merchandise shows means to the customer. But every
community differs in its buying habits. The business, indus
trial and social life of a town regulates the type of merchan
dise a store should stock. A person familiar with consumer
demand is able to purchase merchandise to satisfy that de
mand. The buyer knows his customers, the things they want,
and the good? that will best satisfy their desires.
First Hand Information
Attendance at merchandise shows and personal acquaint
ance with buying centers, also gives the merchant valuable
firsthand information. He secures the latest data on style
trends, new fabrics, new models. He obtains information and
advice on economic trends, advertising campaigns, invento
ries and other subjects relating to efficient business manage
ment. From the standpoint of service to consumers he is able
to purchase a stock of goods embracing the latest styles and
highest quality.
It is indicative' of. the desire of Roseburg merchants to
give the best possible service to their customers that so many,
representing the entire retail field, have spared no time or
expense in their buying activities. As a result, few cities will
have a mire complete or up-to-date line of fall merchandise
to show interested buyers. .
The annual Fall Opening is the event marking the simul
taneous offering of this new seasonal merchandise to the pub
lic. ; ..
Roseburg merchants, for a number of years, have sur
rounded the opening with varied entertainment. This year,
in addition to the window displays, style revues and special
events at various places of business, the merchants have ar
ranged a pet parade, band music, variety show and other
entertainment features. -
Public Is Invited
The city's retail merchants invite the general public to
be their guests at this big show. On display will be an ex
hibit of the very latest in clothing, accessories, household
furnishings, appliances, nnd all other lines of merchandise.
Potential buyers will find the display, highly educational in
evaluating the new style trends. They may be assured they
will find no better quality or variety anywhere, nor will they
find better prices.
The public will enjoy ample entertainment, staged as
a good will activity by the merchants as an appreciation of
patronage and an invitation to future relations.
The Fall Opening is an event in which the merchants
offer fun for everyone, coupled with particularly interesting
and educational displays.

WASHINGTON You have to get a long distance away
from the U.S.A. to learn just how painful some of the blath
ering of administration officials is to the ears of those we
anticipate as our allies overseas.
Take for instance predictions of obliteration for TJ. S.
industrial centers from Russian atom bombs that are made
with increasing frequency in Washington and elsewhere.
Brien McMahon, senator from Connecticut, who, as chair
man of the joint committee on atomic energy, lathers him
solf with authority on the subject, is the worst offender on
the home front. He has company, including Pres. Truman,
however, in his constant warnings of our impending doom.
He thinks, apparently, that the
U. S. can be scared into a state
of totalitarian cowardice by Uie
threat. If we at home get scared
to death of the Russian atom,
think how it gives the jitters to
Europe and Asia. We are sup
posed to be the strongest nation
in the world, but a lot of Europ
eans are beginning to wonder,
and presumably the same must
apply for Asia although I didn't
cover that front on my recent
tour.
Both Britain and Japan can be
blackmailed by the threat of a
Soviet atom bomb. Both are vul
nerable islands, and on top of this
Japan has had a taste of atom
ization. And if Russia is doing as
well as McMahon and others say
she is with atom bomb production,
neither Britain nor Japan has
much of a chance in a global
war.
All the Russians have to do to
get these two or any island area
to knuckle under is get within
shooting distance by air or
land or sea and issue an ulti
matum. Surely, if McMahon and
company think the U. S. is in
deadly peril, it doesn't take the
British or Japanese long to fig
ure out where they stand in an at
om war.
The Voice of America, of course,
helps spread Ihe Truman-McMa-hon
warnings about U. S. peril
from Soviet atoms. And every
time it does our so-called Allies
cringe and start watching the sky.
Who can blame them? Hints of
disaster fall like chips from the
chopping block of despair.
When you get to Europe you
start wondering what U. S. offi
cials are trying to accomplish
with predictions of atom blasted
U. S. industrial centers. In Europe
those with enough heart left for
a fight are looking to us to supply
them with the war tools for the
job. If they are told every other
day that our war production cen
ters are in peril they can t for
long go on thinking that weapons
and supplies will continue flowing
to their fronts. If it keeps up

WASHINGTON (.Pi A new
proposal to televise or broadcast
senate sessions was squelched
quickly at a senate committee
hearing,
"II would completely ruin Ihe

tion. "Everyone would be wanting to

McKarland of Arizona, the senate
Democratic floor leader, predicted.
"It would play up the showmen in

What McMahon, as an atom ex
nert. ought to be telling the Al
lied nations is that we can lick
the Russian atom along with the
rest of Ihe Soviet arsenal. And a
few military leaders at home and
abroad would be doin" Gen.
Dwight Eisenhower a favor if
they started the same line of chat
ter. Europe, England and Asia
want to know how we can stop
the Soviet atom bomb, not absorb
it.
England and Japan are both
like punch drunk fighters. Both
have absorbed a grade A pasting.
They know how to take it. What
they want to hear is a little pep
talk on how to dish it out, from
the one nation in the world cap
able of so doing.
If McMahon and the President
know some of the tricks available
that will help stop a Russian atom
attack they ought to share it'forth
with with our Allies. So far they
haven't said a reassuring word
about atomic defense. It may be
that we have none. It not, we
ought to change our military com
mand without delay. If we haven't
developed any protection so far
against an atomic attack we'll be
worse off than we were when the
Reds struck in Korea. There was
hardly a tank available then, ac
cording to the military, although
they had spent $75,000,000 which
ought to have bought a platoon or
two of them at least.
Nobody, least of all McMahon
and the President, can create a
will to fight in Europe and Asia
with creepy predictions about how
we are going to be obliterated at
home before the battle really ?ets
started. U. S. as well as European
and Asiatic minds can be con
ditioned for panic.

with whom she came in contact.
She was a nurse In a noted sur

the nurse became friends. In time
we moved away, but the corre

Doctor Says
Many Things
Cause Cancer
By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE
Associated Press Science Editor
NEW YORK () There
are literally hundreds of things
you eat, breathe, drink or touch
that are known to possess the
mysterious ability to cause cancer.
They are not the sole cause. Our
ow'n bodies aid them in some way.
Investigate these things, D r.
Eric Boyland of London, Eng
land, told the American .Chemical
society, and we should be able
to prevent cancer to a large ex
tent. Dr. Boyland is professor of bio
chemistry in the Chester Bcatty
Research institute of the Royal
cancer society. He is one of the
top foreign chemists on the pro
gram of a two weeks chemical
conclave, the largest in the
world's history, which began here
yesterday.
As an example, he singled out
arsenic, saying:-
Arsenic Causes Cancer
"Arsenic is cancer-causing for
man, but there is at present no
laboratory test which will reveal
its activity. This is probably im
portant, as H' has been suggested
that arsenic present in cigarettes
may be, in part, responsible for
some cancer in the lung.
"Since the war, new classes of
cancer-causing compounds have
been discovered and there arc
now hundreds, which can be di
vided into four categories."
First, he said, are physical things
like X-rays, radium and intense
cold; second, inorganic material
like arsenic and the metal beryl
lium; third, fatty compounds; and
fourth, Uie aromatic, or smelly
benzene compounds.
If, he said, science can protect
people against these physical and
chemical agents, it will be easier
to learn what role human tissues
play in starting cancer. And that,
he said, adds up to prevention.
Scores of messages can he sent
at the same t me and in both
directions over modern cables.

The sister committed suicide.
Amy raised the boy until he went
his way as boys will sometimes.
In time Amy was alone in the little
home she had worked so hard over
the years to keep over their heads.
There was no daughter for Amy. . .
no memories of a life lived to the
full in motherhood and wifehood.
Just the little house, and now that
her burdens were lighter, a bit of
money in the bank. The doctor
passed on. . . . the family clutched
Amy in their need, but in time re
leased her. Nov Amy has her
church, lots of friends, and her
own home. She has "retired" to
live alone in her old age.
