Swim Pool's Opening Draws 570 Bathers A balmy June day, a gently vrarming sun and clean, sparkling water lured 570 first day swim mers to the Roseburg municipal pool Monday as the long-awaited 1952 season got underway at Rose benool grounds. Among the goose - pimpled youngsters to emerge after their first dip were Delores Isaacson and Lester Coy, both students at Kiverside School. They admitted that the water was a 1-1-1-ittle ch-chi-ch-illy. Now in its fourth season of op eration, the $68,000 swimming plant, boasting a larger-than-reg-ulation pool, underwater and over water lighting and ample exhibi tion bleachers, is the site of the Red Cross-sponsored swimming classes to start June 16 as well as tournaments sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. On hand to supervise proceed ings were Lifeguards Floyd Wil liams and Ronald Louis McAnen ey, Ronald said the opening day's figure was excellent considering the mild weather. Although the water was cool, it wou'.d warm up in a week or two, depending upon the weather, he said. Another official witnessing the opener was Harry Isbell,.- city park superintendent. He inspected the plant, including scientific ma chinery that keeps fresh water flowing 24 hours a day, filters the water and provides the proper amount of chlorination. He stated that the water is not heated be cause the pool operates only dur ing warm summer months when water becomes naturally warm. Wading pools at Rose School and at E. Commercial, off N. Jackson St., are expected to be jn operation by Tuesday eve ning, June 3, Isbell said. Two Bicycles Stolon Misfortune befell two of the last swimmers out of the pool at the 9 p.m. closing time. They were David Milsten and Robert Hult man, with their companion, Ed die Anderson, all students at Jun ior High. David, a News-Review carrier, and Robert discovered that their bicycles had been stolen while swimming. They left them at the foot of the concrete stairway lead ing to the pool. David, who uses his bicycle to deliver papers, said his was a '51 model Swinn. Robert said he owned a '48 red Hawthorne. Although Eddie lost a bicycle last year in similar circumstanc es, he eventually recovered it, he stated. Anderson said it Is com mon to loose bicycles in such a manner. David said he would re port the losses to police. They believed that some swimmers wefe implicated. Swimming will' continue daily from 1 to 9 p.m. Starting June 16 closing time will be extended to 10 p.m. f. .; ' Daylight Saving Issue Not Going To Voters' (Continued from Page One) J. F. "Si" Dillard. above, Rose burg business and civic leader, has been named general chairman for the $100,000 Douglas Commu nity Hospital expansion fund cam paign to be conducted this month. Selection of Dillard was made unanimously by the board of directors of the Douglas Commu nity Hospita.. Following the announcement ot his appointment, Dillard said, laving confidence and faith in the people of Roseburg and Doug las County, I gratefully accept the post of general chairman for the expansion fund campaign. With the hospital maintaining an aver age of almost 100 per cent occu pancy since opening its doors in February, 1951, and with the past month of March having a rats of occupancy of 110.6 per cent, it is necessary to provide more bed space at our Community Hospital. "The hospital has become a major factor in the health and welfare of our community, and in order for it to maintain its high record of service, we are undsr- taking this $100,000 campaign for the addition of a 21-bed wing. The people of Roseburg and its de pendent area deserve the finest hospital care that can be provid ed, and I know we, will have the who'e-hearted cooperation of the entire community in this project."

Again in '1950, when the ques tion of expanding the Air Force to 70 groups was before Congress, Truman said the nation could afford only a 48-group force, rtocalls Billy Mitchell Eisenhower led up to his state ment on the importance of air power with a remark about the ate Brig.
