2 The Newi-Review. Roseburg, Ore. Frl., Nov. 16. 1951 Building Sites Adapted ForFHA Loans Lacking The Roieburg area Is running out of building sites that could be ap proved from a lanitary standpoint for Federal Housing authority loans. That was the statement Thurs day of County Sanitarian La Verne Miller. Miller said the problem was pri marily one of black mud. It won't absorb sewage from septic tanks. Applications for federal loans, Including FHA and GI, for housing construction require the recom mendation that the building site is suitable for sewage disposal, Mil ler said. No areas where it is Im possible to dispose of the sewage will be approved. And this i n cludes sreas where black mud is present. In the Roseburg area several housing sites have been turned down because of the presence of black mud, according to Miller. In some esses it is possible to get through the mud into a lower strata of shale or river loam but not always. Only solution to the black mud problem, as Miller sees it, is con necting with a sanitary sewer sys tem.

This applies to applicants for fed eral housing loans, GI loans for construction and applicants for state or county licensed commer cial establishments. It was suggested that other builders also nave their sites in spected to avert the possibility of later sanitation problems.

New Horiions With Books Offered To Children Here The slogan for this year's Na tional Book week, Nov. 11-17, has been "new horizons with books," and it is easy to understand that books do open pew horizons of fun, fact, understanding, adventure, science, poetry, music, art, people and places.

The profits from the asle will be evenly divided between the individ ual groups to which the girls be long ana tne council camp fund. The funds thus earned by t h e groups will be used to finance such group activities as service proj ects, "fun" projects and special projects required for advancement in rank. These special projects in clude such things as the Trail Seeker sponsor parties, all day I "cook-outs" and family parties for the Wood Gatherers; overnight trips, teas and Fire Maker dinners for those seeking that rank. Such funds are also used to buy hand craft materials, honor beads and other group equipment. May Spend Valuable Time Last fall's city-wide peanut brit tle aale made it almost entirely un necessary for individual group candy, cookie and similar sajes. Although selling and business is a part of the Camp Fire program, individual sales present certain problems. The council has no full control and aome sales have been unsatisfactory and undesirable. Also, there is always the danger ol spending too much time pn them at the expense of other program acltivities. A city-wide sale gives the girls an understanding of the entire council needs, and of her part in the council. A well planned sale of this kind is a much better experi ence than a poorly planned group saie. The camp fund money will be uaed to build a much needed new swimming pool at Camp Tyee. Work on this project has already begun. Before next camping pe riod, improvements must also be made to camp sanitation facili ties. Every girl who participates in the sale will have a more personal feeling toward camp when she knows she is helping to make it better, Miss Patricia Mayo Is chairman for the peanut brittle sale and Mrs. Harold Hoyt is co-chairman.

American Troops In Korea Told Of Red Atrocities (Continued from Page 1) sures," possibly the atom bomb. The same sentiment waa ex pressed by others including Sen ator Johnson (D-Colo) who called the reported atrocities "the most shocking thing in our history, even more shocking than Pearl H a r bor." Senator Johnston (SC) said he long has advocated use of the "A bomb, H-bomb or any other kind of a bomb" against Communist concentrations in Korea. ;We should bit them in Korea, in Manchuria or in China," he added.

Crawford addressed the Roseburg Business and Pro fessional Women's club Monday evening, Nov. 12 upon the true meaning of civilian defense, its purpose and necessity. Col. Crawford pointed out that he as director of civilian defense for the city of Roseburg did not advocate continuous training of volunteer personnel but rather a continued awareness of the possi bilities and the gaining of before hand information of what is ex pected of all citizens in case of crisis. The program as set up has 12 departments, such as personnel, transportation, engineering, hous ing, food, first aid etc., all of which have department heads responsible to the Colonel who is in turn re sponsible to the county setup and to the state etc. Women's place In the program is of course far-reaching and the Colonel expressed both his faith and gratification in and to women upon whose shoulders the bulk of the work will fall. The proper attitude toward the possible crisis was pointed out by Colonel Crawford referring to the English chambermaid who ad vised him during the Blitz in Lon don that if he heard anything to just turn over and go to sleep. In otner words we snouicl continue a usual day to day life, accepting without panic or hysteria the pos sibility of a crisis, just as we ac cept the possibility of storm, fire or pestilence. Colonel Crawford s flk was well received by the members of the Roseburg business ai:d Profes sional women, especially so as many of the members are very active in the civilian defense ef fort. ! .1 ' k v J r.
