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.

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."

in Michigan which began with "I
like Ike" heckling by school kids
in the heavily Republican area of
Saginaw and "took him into friendly
industrial districts around Detroit.
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."
Roseburg Schools Given
Okay On Progress Report
The 1952-53 progress report for
the Roseburg public schools has
been approved by the State De
partment of Education, School Su
perintendent M. C. Deller an
nounced today.
The approval came in a letter
from Walter O. Should, state su
pervisor of elementary education.
This okay is necessary before bas
ic school support funds are re
leased lo school districts, Deller
explained.
Such approval must be obtained
on improvement progress when
any schools within a district are
not fully standard. Several of
Roseburg's are not.
"We're doing the best we can to
bring them up to standard," Del
ler said. He went on to explain
that a school rated standard this
year might not be next year if it
is overloaded. The Junior High is
the worst in this respect right now,
he said.
About half the British regular
army is now jerving overseas.
