Acheson was asked at a news con ference what the United Slates was doing about Oatis.. He replied that he could not dis close any specific steps which have been taken. Ambassador . EUis Briggs, Acheson went on, has been pressing vigorously to see Oatis and to obtain his freedom. mm Rose Jewelry 139 SHERIDAN ST.

The division said 70,147 moloiJ vehicle mishaps reported last year involved a violation on the part of at least one driver, acccording to a recently-completed analysis of Oregons 1951 accident records. MosC common violation was "did not have right of way," which put the blame on 9,939 accident driv ers. Another 9,053 damaged their cars because they were following another vehicle too closely, di rectly contrary to Oregon law. One such accident resulted In a fatality. Third violation in order of fre quency was driving on the wrong side of the road, committed by another 5,095 mootrists. Intersections not controlled by stop signs or signal lights lead most of the right-of-way argu ments, the division said. At such locations, the law gives the right-of-way to the vehicle approaching from the right, "whether such ve hicle first enter and reach t ie in tersection or not." This provision on the books since 1935, replaced an earlier law giving the right-of-way to the vehicle entering an intersection first. COOKING TIME O - NoodUi..

Tyson of Rose burg was elected one of the five delegates to the triennial meeting of the Woman'i Auxiliary, which is to be held in Boston next Sep tember. This meeting is in conjunc tion with the meeting of the gen eral convention of the Episcopal Church, which occurs every three years. The rector of St. George's Church, Roseburg, the Rev. Alfred S. Tyson, was elected an alternate to the general convention and a member of the Diocesan Council of this diocese. The Council has charge of the missionary work of this diocese, under the bishop, as well as the department of religious education. Delegates elected from this dio cese were three priests from Port land, the Rev. G. R. Turney, the Rev. R. F. Lessing, the Rev. L. 0. Stone, and the archdeacon, the Ven. Perry Smith, at one time in charge of St. George's Church in Roseburg. Fr. Stone is a negro priest, probably the first such to be elected from this diocese. Straight Highway Most Dangerous Records Indicate A straight, level highway as dry as the proverbial bone offers more danger to Oregon traffic than any other road condition, Secretary of Slate Newbry says. Despite the fact that most acci dent drivers tend to blame mis haps on conditions, such as a wet, slippery road, Nowbry had the fig ures to prove his point. In 1951, he said, well over half of all re ported smash-ups and almost three-fourths of all fatal accidents occurred. when the highway sur face was dry. More than 25,000 accidents took pice on a straight, level road way. Slightly more than 6.000 of these accidents were at rural lo cations, as compared to 19,1'Jij in urban areas, but 144 fatal acci dents on a straight highway were reported in rural areas as against 41 in cities and towns. While most Oregon accidents happen during daylight hours. Newbry said the chances for fatal involvement are markedly higher afler dark. Last year it took more than 50,000 accidents during daylight hours to produce 167 fatal smash ups, while only 19.117 after-dark accidents added 201 fatalities to the traffic toll.

STANTON Work will start soon, if funds can be made available, on the first unit of a proposed $400,000 commercial and recreational de velopment at Winchester Bay near the moulh of the Umpqua River. The Douglas County Budget Committee is endeavoring to crowd a $66,000 item into its budget to match a like sum from the Port of Umpqua. The money would be used to build a breakwater, nec essary to stop bank erosion and sand encroachment. The cost will be repaid from charges imposed for recreational and commerical use of installed facilities. Engin eers estimate that present use of facilities would provide revenue to repay the Initial cost in approx imately 10 years. The develop ment, however, would be expect ed to result in more use and, there fore, faster rate of repaymnt. Winchester Bay is extremely shallow exceptjfor a channel ad joining the roc bluff at the ex treme north end of the bay. All activity presently is centered in that small area. Erosion Endangers Houses Since the construction of a train ing jetty at the mouth of the river, surge action has caused a great deal of damage. Oceans swells break against the bank of the riv er opposite the bay, then surge into the bay with considerable force. Much of the bayfront has suffered serious erosion. Several houses afa endangered. The county-built parking area and dock have been damaged. The wave action also Is pouring more sand into the shallow bay. Construc tion of the breakwater is deemed of first and immediate importance to prevent futher damage. , The breakwater will be built of material dredged from the bay. It will be 40 feet in width on top, providing a driveway and parking space for about 200 cars and trail ers, i Two proposals are being studied, one to leave the recreational fa cilities at the north end of the bay temporarily, and the other to move recreation to the south end. In either case it will be necessary to dredge chattels and use the ma terials in creating parking area. A chanel will be provided along the breakwater as it is built. If a parking area is thrown up at the south end, a basin for skiffs and small craft will be provided. A cheaper plan, however, is to deep en the water around the cannery dock, using the material for a fill immediately south of that struc ture, leaving the existing county dock and small boat channel in their present location between the 3" "7?

PATTERSON'S BREAD IS VITAMIN ENRICHED TAYSTEE FRESH WINCHESTER BAY DEVELOPMENT PLANNED Pictured above is on artist's conception of the Winchester Bay development program as it will appear when finally com pleted. The drawing, furnished by the firm of Cornell, Howland, Hayes & Merryf ield, Corvallis, consulting engi neers, was made by sketching from a projected aerial photograph, with the artist's drawing superimposed. The existing bayfront lies at the row of trees shown in the pic ture. Emending beyond the trees would be new construction, including a 28-acre parking area adjoining the townsite, another large parking area at the south end of the boy, cannery dock and the north bound ary of the bay. (The county dock is not shown in the picture appear ing above, for the artist is portray ing the project as it will appear when completed.) Parking Fes Cantldtrad Building the brpakwater and con structing a fill of about 6-8 acres is expected to cost in the neigh borhood of $132,000. The County Court and Port of Umpqua Com mission are studying ways and means of doing this job without outside help. If the construction is undertaken, the resort manage ment will be placed under control of the County Parks Department or some other officially designat ed body. Fees will be charged for parking cars and launcning Doats. Tie-uo fees will be collected from commercial craft. Charter boats will pay a percentage of income. Charges also will be made upon concessionnaiies using installed facilities. From these sources of income, the county ana pori dis trict can expect, the engineers re port to recover their investment n approximately 10 years, using iresent traffic at the bay as a ase for estimates. Projected im- .ovements, however, are expect .d to increase traffic, which should tasten the rate of recovery. Port commissioners are anxious to improve commercial facilities. S Tney point mil tnai wincnesicr i Bav once harbored a large com mercial fishing fleet. Sand en roachment, howpver, has so re duced water depth that only small craft now can use the bay. The principal fishing banks In that area lie off H e c a t a head. Winchester Bay is the nearest port ,o those banks. Most of the fleet' now is berthed at Coos Bay and Newport because of poor condi tions at Winchester Bay. If the boats could berth at Winchester Bay, they could reduce round-trip time to and from the fishing banks by as much as six hours. AND - Commercial Port Commissioners report that the Army Engineers are interested in the proposal, and it is believed that funds could be obtained through rivers and harbors appro priations to complete the project. The amount then spent by the county and the port district would be accepted as the local contribu tor's share, relieving the county and port of further costs. Dock May Be Shifted If development of the commer cial potentials of the bay is under taken by the Army Engineers, they would remove the county dock and deepen the water in the present small boat basin to 12 feet or more. It then would be necessary to move recreational facilities to the south end of the bay and in doing so, dredging would be un dprtaken to clear the center basin, using the materials In creating a 28-acre parking area in front of the existing shoreline. Completion of the project upon the plans drawn by the consulting engineers, Cornell, Howland, Hay es & Mcrryfipld, Corvallis, would provide facilities for a large fleet of commercial fishing boats, in cluding boats of the tuna fleet, un limited room for small craft, char ter boats, small inboards and skiffs with parking space for 4,000 or more automobiles and trailers. The plan includes camp grounds, picnic areas, and playgrounds. It is bplievcd that the wave action would build a sand beach between the breakwater and the main riv er channel. As the sand in the bay is clean, an ideal beach would re sult. Sponsors point to the rapid growth of recreational traffic at the bay and its result in expanded business growth in the community.

The channel of the Umpqua River lies near the far bank pictured above. The County Court and Port of Umpqua Commission are planning to start work this year on the con struction of the breakwater, the first unit of the program. The breakwater and contemplated dredging will cost ap proximately $132,000. Sponsors are hopeful that the Army Engineers will take over the commercial development pro jected to follow.
