On Decern bcr 12, 1951, the last scheduled sale for 1951 was held. Records .n the district office show 38 parcels totaling 83.579.000 board feet were sold in 1951. This volume brought a total price of $2,148,980.25 as compared to the appraised price of (1,851,200.50. The average appraised price of Douglas Fir for the year was $23.11 and the average selling price $26.82 per thousand. District Forester James W.

County Needi Stressed In Talk By C. V. Stanton (Continued from Page 1) 4-H Club Makes Plans For Scrapbook Drive It was decided by the Dinky Creek Hillbillies, 4-H Club, to col lect material for a scrapbook at a meeting Jan. 14. Clippings of their own club's ac tivities and others will be added to the collection. During the meeting, plays and skits that are to be presented this year were discussed.

From Venus the earth at Its brightest would appear about six times as brilliant as Venua ever does to us. plement to the lumber Industry. In some areas the pulp industry has almost reached a par with pri mary manufacturing, and the same can be expected here, be stated. Unless i conservation plan Is inaugurated, the waste products are utilized, by virtue of scarcity in lumber, prices will rise out of reach, it was explained. Population Possibilities The growth of Roseburg was also considered. Portland's population increased to 100,000 on the basis of 40 bil lion feet of timber before any other industry, had moved into the area, and ther cities have noted simi lar development based on avail able timber supply. Stanton said. In comparison, the Central Ump qua Basin contains approximately 40 billion feet of timber and Rose burg's population could possibly grow to 75,000 or 100,000. If the increase in population does come, the City of Roseburg will be faced with problems of police and fire control, as well as inadequate school facilities, he ex plained. The traffic arrangement in the downtown area would also have to be modified. Tree Farms Suggested '. What about agriculture in Doug las County? It is time that crops adaptable to the County's soil and climate be introduced, Stanton said. The editor also stressed the Im portance of utilizing sub-marginal land. Tree farms on sucn land would provide a revenue that has previously been overlooked, he not-ed. But if any improvements are to be realized cooperation is neces sary. Stanton said. It is only through teamwork that the County can be. developed to its fullest extent. (0 it 'VP3 Truman's Budget Faces Trimming , (Continued from Page 1) who claim such a slash would save a billion dollars in the new year. Defense spending also is likely to be curbed, but barring an un expected turn for the better in world affairs, no deep cuts are probable. WASHINGTON Ufi Evidence mounted Tuesday that President Truman's request for five bil lion dollars more taxes was made with no real expectation that con gress would grant it. For instance: 1 No arrangements have been made for Secretary of the Trea sury Snyder to present any tax plan to the House Ways and Means Committee, starting point for all revenue legislation. 2. The President himself, in giv ing newspapermen an advance pre view last Saturday of his $85,444, 000,000 budget for the next fiscal year starting July 1, said he plan ned no special message to Congress on taxes. He said he had made clear last year what he wanted, when he asxea for at least ten billion extra WILL HE BITE? OR KICK?
