1 The Newi-Review, Roieburg, Roseburg Well Located As Hub Of Trade Wheel (Continued from Page One) rural population, interested in agri culture, has been quick to grasp the opportunities for increased market and trade facilities provid ed by the 1,000 miles of county roads in Douglas county. Since the lumber industry, today, is major in this region, this system of road way is essential and more im pressive. Dissipation of profits in getting agricultural products to the market over bad roads has been almost completely eliminated. Of the 2,651 farms, located in Douglas county, there arc 721 that arc di rectly located on hard surfaced roads. Gravel and well graded roads pass and directly connect with 1.5 ot inese larms ami, only 315 are located on dirt or un improved roadways and the ma jority of these have short dis tances to go to reach an improved road. In the five yrars from 1879 to 1883, when construction engineers and great financial interests put through the greatest railroad build ing program the American people ever saw, costing some $800 mil lions of dollars many people thought it would bankrupt the na tion and disouraged the project as much as possible with aggra vating legislation and propaganda. Of course, that was long before the time of the "New Deal" or the "Fair Deal." Instead of the nation going broke, however, it proved to be tne most wonderful investment ever made, both from an economic and altruistic sense. The same criticism wan originally encountered in the building of the national highway syslem which, today, is accredited with being the most important link in commercial existence. In summary road building activ ities of county, state and federal administrations have given to Douglas county a veritable net work of fine and well improved roadways. Coupled with the use of these roads and augmented by rail, motor trucks and bus ser vice, Roseburg and Douglas county have a system of transportation that brings together production and consumption. .

Winchester Bay Harbor Project To Be Outlined By Committee By DAWN PESEAU A Joint conference of the Doug las County Court, Port of Umpqua Commission, and engineer! and administrators of the Winchester Bay harbor development project was proposed by the Port of Ump qua Commission at its regular meeting here Tuesday. Date for the conference was set for Tuesday, Oct. 14, when county and port ofticials will inspect the construction thus far and outline a further construction schedule. The conference was suggested by James Howland, member of the consulting engineering firm of Cor nell, Howland, Hayes and Marry field, employed by the project spon sors. Reports and discussion of the Winchester Bay development oc cupied a major part of the order of business of the Port meeting. Card Safley, Salmon Harbor man ager, reported a gross total of $11,192.92 in receipts for the 65-day period between July 5 and Sept. 7. The project is predicated upon a self-liquidating basis, revenue to be derived from patronage fees charged for the use of the recre ational fishing facilities. Construction reports by engin eers of the project indicate that the breakwater, the central con struction feature, is dredged, grad ed and ready for rip rap and gra vel surfacing. Precaution will be taken to insure adequate rip-rap protection on the outer side of the breakwater, it was pointed out. Erosion protection of county boulevard and park property on the Winchester Bay shoreline, as well as private property, is a primary purpose of the breakwat er. Request Returned A county request for permission to construct a bent in the Smith River bridge at Hudson Slough was referred back to the county with the request that if residents of the area, who previously have gone on record in opposition to the bent, will waive their objections In writing, the Port Commission would re consider their position on the matter. An earlier similar re quest had been denied. A Gardiner Lumber Company request, presented by Alec Hay, western land commiseioner for the Longbell Lumber Company, for a renewal of a port owned dock lease was taken under advisement and deferred to the next meeting of the commission. The next meet ing date was set at Wednesday, Nov. 5. Port Commission mem Youth Program's Value Stressed By Scout Chief Wherever youth programs are set up and operating satisfactor ily, juvenile delinquency diminish es. Where youth programs are lax. delinquency increases. This was the gist of informa tion contained in talks by Rollie Quam, Hoy Scout field executive, and Walter Smith, district execu tive, in I program at Tuesday's Kiwanis club meeting, calling at tention to the coming Community Chest campaign. The fund raising drive is sched uled for Roseburg and Douglas county Oct. 21 through Nov. 1 and the goal for the participating agen cies is $42,252. The two speakers, Introduced by I.eroy Hiatl, who was in turn introduced by program chairman Ray Knight, emphasized that none of the chest agencies was more important than the other, that all are important in the training of young people, and vital to the welfare of the community in the lessening of delinquency. Quam stated that the Boy Scouts came back into the Community Chest, after having withdrawn for two years, in order to help unity in the community. The overall chest budget this year is higher than usual because it incorporates more agencies and because of the need for an expanded program in this ever increasing community. Smith discussed some of the ac tivities of scouting to show its benefit and need in the commu nity, and the importance of reach ing more and more youths in the program.

Handicapped Worker Speaks Out For Others "There are a lot of things handi capped persons can do if they are given a chance to do them." That was the statement of Newt Lewis, himself a handicapped per son, now employed at" Toketee Falls. In observance of Nationally Ein ply the Physically HandicapDed Week, Oct. 511, members of "the local committee have talked to a number of physically handicapped persons in various fields to obtain their viewpoint on their handican in relation to their employment, said Jack Lucas, commit. ee chair man. Newt is a good example because he has held many jobs in the past several years and knows the problem of a liandicapprd person apolying for a job, said Lucas. Newt had his right arm cut off below the elbow by a hay mower on Aug. 10, 1942. He was a hih school freshman then and the only thing that bothered him by the loss of the arm was his inability to con tinue to play football. "The loss of one arm has never been the handicap that some em ployers thought it was," Newt com mented. "Most of them, however, were pretty good about the handi cap." He has been a truck driver for Pre-Mix Concrete, tended bar, sold Hser-T-e. v.orkrd on a ranch, was a salesman for Western Auto Stores, worked lor Ted Reed Mo tors and Smith Motors, all of Roseburg. and McCullough Chain Saw in Drain. Newt says he has been able to successfully compete with anyone he has ever worked with. Lucas, in citing Lewis' case, urged employers to give the same consideration to the handicapped persons as to others when ' they apply for jobs. "Let's give them a chance," he said. Ike Defends Stand On Foreign Policies (Continued from Page One) aries, a diehard isolationist or even a 'moral scoundrel." Eisenhower flushed and ex claimed: "Isn't that something!" but he refused to say anything further. Eisenhower asserted corruption in government was a direct aid to the Communists. "We must keep the long nose of government out of private business," he said, add ing; "We must earnestly and con tinuously combat the theory that the only ability in the United States is to be found among the higherups in Washington." General Eisenhower wai greet ed in Portland Tuesday by thou sands of cheering persons lining a parade route from Union Station to the Auditorium. Police Traffic I.t. Andrew Crab tree said because the crowd was spotty it was hard to estimate its size, but he believed rt "close to 50.0O0." The Auditorium office reported 5.5:14 seats filled, every inch of standing room taken and the total "the biggest crowd the Auditorium has ever had."

Even in these areas, however, the crowds were not up to expecta tions although they were greater in many cases than those that greeted him on a Labor Day tour in Michigan. Challenges On Red Issue In hia Detroit speech, Stevenson challenged Eisenhower to break what he called the Republican can didate's "thunderous silence" on j how he would solve the Communist I infiltration problem. "I think we are entitled to ask: Is the Republican candidate se ' riously interested in trying to root 1 Communists out of the government or is he only interested in seat ing the American people to get the Old Guard in," he said. For his own part, Stevenson pledged that if he is elected there will be "no shadow of a doubt" about his attitude toward Commu nists. "If I find in Washington any dis loyal government servant, I will throw him out ruthlessly, regard less of place, position or party," he declared. "As far as I am con cerned, this fight will be continued until the Communist conspiracy in our land has been smashed be yond repair."
