',M SW1 2 Th Newi-Ravlew, Roseburg, Holiday Fixing On Mondays Plan Of Motor Assn. There'll be more long weekends, if a plan proposed by the National Association oi Travel Organiz tions gets into effect. A snecil committee of NATO is backing a plan to encourage observance of major holidays on Monday, reports Oregon State Mo tor Association, According to information re ceived at the motor club'a head quarters in Portland, the commit tee Is urging the introduction of legislation at forthcoming state legislatures to change some holi days to Monday. Among the changes proposed by the group are these: President's Day third Monday in February, combining the various dates ob served for the birthdays of Wash ington, Lincoln and Jefferson; Memorial Day last Monday in May, Independence Day first Monday in July; Veterana Day first Monday in August, combin ing V-J, V-t, and Armistice Days; Columbus Day second Monday in October; and Thanksgiving Day fourth Monday in November. The committee stresses that it is not asking any change in ob servance of religious holidays. In urging other changes, it points out that mid-week holidays do not allow time 'or activities of the type most desired by the pub lic. In addition they may result in serious loss ot efficiency and bring about absenteeism on days following in many industrial plants. The same is often true in schools, the NATO committee emphasizes.

Across th Parking Area PARK MS HOP t SOUTH STEPHENS ST 'Courtesy Car' Evangelism Said To Be Paying Off The Courtesy Car Crusade, a new, systematic and helpful pro gram of personal evangelism, is paying off in increased attendance at North Roseburg Church, the Rev. Clark Robb, pastor, reports. Started only last March, 1952, the continuing plan has already brought into the church services "conservatively, trom 50 to vis itors." This modern approach to biblic al evangelism was developed be cause of serious transportation problems of the church's mem bers and potential visitors. Meet ing in a suburban location, the Rev, Mr. Robb explained, lack of needed public transportation meant that many people who oth erwise might attend services stay ed away. Robert Gladwlll heads the pro gram. He is assisted by five lieu tenants, who have charge of five Roseburg districts. These are South, West, Edenbower, Benson and North. A metal plate desig nating each courtesy car is placed above the regular license plate for identification. The pastor said that the system has proved so successful that it wil be continued indefinitely. A courtesy car drive in the church's Sunday school classes will culminate Sunday, June 8. A Bible spelldown at the evening meeting will be a feature. Mrs. Ralph Arensmeiar has arranged 100 questions and answers for ad vanced study by the classes. The winner may get an expense-paid summer camp trip at Jennings Lodge in August.
