2 Myrtle Creek
Hunters Overdue;
Search Planned
Fog hindered the beginning of an
aerial search for two Myrtle Creek
hunters lost more than 24 hours
this morning, deputy sheriff Ira
Byrd reported this morning.
H. L. Cochran, about 30, and Eu
gene Faus, 40, both loggers from
the Myrtle Creek area, have been
reported lost after staying out over
night while hunting around the
head of North Myrtle Creek.
They went hunting yesterday
morning, planning to be gone only
two or three hours, Byrd said,
but they haven't been heard of
since. They had no equipment ex
cept their rifles and some matches.
An aerial search was scheduled
for this morning but "it is useless
to attempt the search until the fog
lifts," Byrd said. "We are hoping
they will build a fire. Then we
can locate them by the smoke,"
he added. '
A ground search will be made
by the sheriff's 'office if the aerial
search doesn't prove successful.
Both men are experienced
woodsmen and are farniliar with
the mountains in this area, Byrd
said.

1 3 School Units
Vote Tomorrow
On Merger Plan
Voters from three school districts
Dillard 116, Tenmile 7 and Look-
ingglass 13 will go to the polls
in ineir respective schools at 8.
p.m. Wednesday to decide whether
or no "e three will consolidate.
If they do merge, high school age
students from ail three will attend
classes in a new high school build
ing to be constructed on the Brocx-
way site on Highway 42. By next
fall the Dillard school board ex.
pecU enough rooms to house the
seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
grades to be completed.
Merger action was started when
the Roseburg District 4 board of
education informed the districts
that Roseburg schools would be un
able to accommodate their' pupils
after this year. At present high
school age pupils from the three
districts attend local schools.
Merger advocates originally in
cluded Green district 5 in their
plans, but Green eventually decid
ed not to push for the consolida
tion.
Though only enough rooms fur
the seventh through tenth grades
are to be finished by fall 1953, Dil
lard board members plan 'to add
the remaining two grade in each
of the two following years. It is
expected that Roseburg schools
will continue to house these pupils
until the new . Dillard. school is
ready for them.
J. L. Turnbull, building consul
tant with the State Department
of Education recently ' made a
check of enrollment figures and fi
nancial capacity of the three dis
tricts involved. These showed that
by the end of two years they
should be able to construct a n
brary, science department, music,
commercial and neaitn rooms, or
fices, cafeteria with stage and gen
eral classrooms.
Only $230,600 of the combined
districts' 1952 bonding capacity
has been used so far, a recent sur
vey indicates. $384,200 remains.

Rosehurg Lumber Co. Closes Mill
Operations
To Be Shifted
To Dillard
Timber Not Adequate
To Justify Maintaining
2 Plants, Explanation
Roseburg Lumber Co. has closed
its operations at the Roseburg
plant, and henceforth will concen
trate its entire milling operations
at Dillard.
Earl Plummer, office5 manager,
announced today that the milling
operations at Roseburg ceased
with the close of work Monday
afternoon.
Most of the employes at Rose
burg will be absorbed, on a sen
ority rating basis, in the Dillard
plant, said Plummer. A second
shift on the Swedish gang saw has
been added at Dillard, to absorb
a considerable number, and other
employes will be taken into the
iteration as vacancies in the plant
Closure of the Roseburg plant
has been on a gradual basis, and
tne number of men slowly reduced
to approximately 100 employed at
me ciose ot work Monday.
The stock pile of logs has been
completely cut out at Roseburg.
Yarding operations will be contin
ued until aH lumber has been ship
ped out. This is expected to take
a month or more.
Economy Reason Given
Immediate plans for disposal of
the Roseburg plant has not been
announced. The operation, how
ever, will be completely, suspend
ed.
It has been the Plans of the com
pany for several monthi to dis
continue the Roseburg plant, orig
inally -built by Kenneth Ford in
1936, and since expanded to Its
present sprawling size.
Economy of operation is given
as the reason for the closure here
and concentration of the interests
at Dillard. The latter plant, built
in 1945, incorporates the most mod
ern equipment for economy pro
duction, v .
i In addition, the new plywood
plant, recently put into operation
there, is an integral part of the
overall plant.
The Roseburg Lumber Company
did not feel that it could continue
to operate both the Roseburg and
Dillard plants with : the present
supply of timber, and continue
production on a sustained basis,
it was. explained. One plant could
operate almost indefinitely under
the present program, so it was de
cided to concentrate production at
tne plant most economical to main
tain. ,
The Dillard plant, on a two-shift
basis, will employ an estimated
225 men. This is in addition to the
crews at the plywood plant and
me wooas operation ol the com

ABOARD THE EISENHOWER SPECIAL UP) Dwight

and has made no commitments to win supporters in his
presidential campaign. ,.
The' GOP candidate mads this
declaration to a chilled" crowd of
about 4,000 people at Manchester,
N. H., in the wake of a statement
by Sen. Wayne Morse (R.-Ore.),
he was offered a "high position in

The Morse statement given to
the Portland Oregonian carried the
implication he was offered the post
omy u ne would support Eisen

documentary evidence which he
would produce after the election
Nov. 4.
Morse was one of the original Ei-senhower-for-president
supporters
but has since withdrawn his sup
port on the grounds that the gen
eral has embraced policies and
candidates he cannot accept.
Eisenhower made no mention of
Morse in his remarks at Man

ing note of this development as he
said he was still a "no deal" man.

The GOP presidential nominee

Eisenhower promised to help

This statement came in an area

Boy Scouts' Inclusion
This Year Builds Most
Of Heavy Budget Boost
. The Community Chest drive op
ens today in Roseburg.
With a $42 thousand budget this
year, the Red Feather campaign
begins today and will continue for
two weeks.
More than $14 thousand has been
added to this year's budget, drive
chairman Robert G. Davis said,
but including the Boy Scouts for
$12 thousand took up most of tha
additional Increase. Prior to this
year, the Boy Scouts were not in
cluded in the drive.
Community Chest banks have
been distributed throughout Rose
burg. These banks will be labeled
Democrats and Republicans. A
contest will be held to see which
party will contribute most. Totals
will be added and publicized daily,
Davis said.
Beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday
free turkey sandwiches and milk
or coffee will be given away at
Umpqua Valley Appliance in Rose
burg. Contributions will be ac
cepted from anyone wishing to
give then. At 2:30 p.m., an elec
tric range will be auctioned off
with the proceeds going to the
Red Feather drive.
Six-Way Breakdown
Chairman Davis explained that
a United Fund campaign was not
attempted this year. "We are mov
ing, however, toward that goal,"
Davis said, "and by including the
Boy Scouts In the Chest this year,
we have taken a step in that direc
tion." He explained just where the
money given to the Community
Chest will go. The fund will pro
vide the Oregon Community Chest
with $6,400; Camp Fire Girls, $6,
100; YMCA, $10,000; Boy Scouts,
$12,000; Salvation Army, $6,500
and the Girl Scouts $50, i -
Davis stressed the importance
of these agencies. "I cannot begin
to tell you how much good these
organizations do," he said. "While
providing wholesome recreation,
they are preventing our youngsters
from getting into mischief; and
although the cost may seem high,
the value received in better citi
zens makes the expense seem, in
deed, insignificant."

According to the U.S. Forest
Service, the volume of saw-timber
in Douglas County is greater than
that of any entire state in the
United States, except Washington,
Oregon, California, Montana and

Western Oregon and one-sixth of

The One Dynamic Resource
Today, agriculture offers little
room for expansion in Douglas
County and this leaves timber as
the one dynamic resource. Of the
3,239,680 acres in the county's land
area, 1,683,400 are productive for
est acres. Of this number 1,392,570
acres contain mature timber.
Many of these mature stands are
overmature and actually losing
rather than adding annual growth
increment due to losses from the
various decay agencies that at
tack the overmature or overripe
timber. According to those close
to the Industry, this condition sug
gests the wisdom of cutting this
type of timber as heavily, in the
next few years, as sustained yield
