Incorporation Cost Would
Be Less Than District Jobs,
Winston Community Told
- "It would cost more in the long run for the Winston
1 community to form its own sanitary, fire, water and road
districts than to incorporate."
A crowd of over 100 persons jammed into the Winston
Community Club heard speaker Dudley Walton, Roseburg
attorney, make this statement in favor of incorporation
for the community Thursday night. Cost previously haid
been considered the main obstacle in the path of incor
poration by Winston residents. v
Members of the audience par
ticipated freely in a question and
answer period following Walton's
talk, and most of the discussion
was favorable to incorporation,
Mrs. George Bacher, News-Re-View
correspondent, reported.
A tentative boundary line for
incorporation into a city was out
lined by A. E. Suksdorf. The line
would run from the North Dillard
Bridge to the south side of Look
ingglass. Road, taking in Snow's
Addition to the west and including
a - portion of Winston Section, to
the Winston bridge.
A Community Club road fact
finding committee reported that
roads in the Suksdorf Orchard Ad
dition were so poor the school bus
refused to enter to pick up chil
dren and that "the County has' re
fused to accept responsibility."
Cost Committee Named
Another four-man fact finding
committee was appointed at the
meeting to investigate the cost of
and and gravel and rent of a
grader to build roads so the school
uses could enter.
The roads 16-foot strips ditched
and graveled would be temporary
until the incorporation matter
could be settled. Cost would be ap
proximately $25 to $30 to each own
er of lots bordering on the streets.
Another public meetings on the
road situation and the general in
corporation matter will be held
Dec. 4 at Ihe Community Hall,
since no actual conclusions were
reached at the Thursday, meeting.
Gordon Carlson, Roseburg at
torney, who was scheduled to
speak at the meeting, sponsored
jointly by the Community. Club and
Winston Chamber of Commerce,
could not attend, so Walton spoke
in his stead. ,

Dulles, like President-elect Ei
senhower who announced his selec
tion for the post Thursday, has
made clear that his first maior
new goal in foreign policy will be
to wrest the initiative in the global
contnct from Russia.
Dulles has declared that one way
to go about Jus is to set up a
caoinet council, including not only
some regular cabinet members but
also "minsters without portfolio"
charged only with high-level cold
war planning.
Dulles is unlike any other man
Eisenhower might have named.
Not only a veteran of 45 years of
work in the foreign field he was
secretary of an international con
ference when his grandfather was
secretary of of state in 1907 he has
also played an important part in
the development of national poli
cies during recent years.
Once a U. S. Senator and a close
associate of the late Sen. Arthur
Vandenberg and of Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey, Dulles had a hand in
the formation of the United Na
tions, and in obtaining bi-partisan
backing for it.
He has served on many missions
