Stanton The Roseburg Weather Bureau office is to be moved to the municipal airport after the Iim oi ine year, n is an j J1UU11CCU. , The transfer possibly will result in a change in our weather statistics. For example, we win aououea nave slightly greater extremes of both heat and cold in our re ports. The city area, where instruments now are mounted atop the federal building, has a measure of protection from the elements because of surrounding hills. The airport, sit uated in a more exposed position, will doubtless have slight ly higher temperatures in summer and lower temperatures in winter than would be recorded at the existing downtown Btation. , Another factor will be that of wind velocity. Roseburg presently has the lowest recorded wind velocity of any Weather Bureau station In the nation. We probably will maintain that record, but velocities at the more exposed air- .... . a .1 J . 1L .U.li-AUAfl In. port will be somewnat nigner man m ine mure B.ie.teicu iu 4-a maii MAiin!al Portland, we are Informed, makes good use of its two reporting stations one m the downtown district ana ine om Hnwnfnwn r rot. inn rennrtfi are used CI ttk HIO 011(IV.

Advantage In Flight Plans Local fliers are elated by the announcement that the Weather Bureau will handle flight plans from its newvose Viuror airoort office. t Whenever a pilot leaves one field to fly crosscountry to another he is expected to file a flight plan. This plan Identifies the plane and its occupants, gives the time of de parture and anticipated time oi arrival at me point oi aes tination. and the armroximate course to be flown. Upon ar riving at his destination, the pilot terminates his flight plan by notifying the station there of his arrival. Thus there is a record of successful flight. If, however, he should be forced down or should meet with accident, search and res cue operations are initiated when he is unreported. The sta tion of destination, notified that he is expected to arrive at a certain time, institutes inquiry if he becomes overdue. If not immediately located at some intermediate station, he becomes the object of search.' Contacts are made along his reported line of flight to determine where he was last seen. Planes take to the air to searcn nis course lor smoice signals or other signs of distress. If not immediately found, additional planes are called out and an extensive aerial search organized. When flight plans are available chances of rescue fol lowing accident are immeasurably increased. But when a pilot's course Is not known in advance it becomes almost impossible to locate his downed plane. Many lost fliers, failing to file advance flight plans, have been objects of aearch over a number of years. Only a few months' ago all available planes in the Roseburg area made an intensive hunt for a plane containing a father, two sons and a dog from Tacoma. .No trace or them has been tound and, be cause there was no flight plan, searchers were forced to comb thousands of square miles of rugged terrain. Facili ties for filing flight plans from the Roseburg office will mean added safety for fliers. City Hat Fin Building Persons who have not inspected Roseburg's new airport administration building will.be surprised by the attractive ness and utility of the structure. . We have Been many airport buildings up and down the coast, but few aro more attractive or serviceable than Rose burg's new installation. The building now houses the depot and ticket office of the West Coast Empire Airlines. The waiting room is attractive. Its large picture windows af ford unobstructed view of the port. Quarters to be occupied by the Weather Bureau were built to accommodate record ing equipment, having electrical connections built into the structure In keeping with the plan of office arrangement, The building is small, but entirely adequate for exist ing airport business. As activity at the port expands, ad ditions may be made to the building, which is designed for new sections as needed Any person frequently using airline or private planes appreciates the Roseburg port. At most terminals the air port is located at considerable distance from the city's busi ness district. Roseburg's port, however, is only a few min utes m driving time from the downtown district Within another year or so it will be bordered by the main highway. it is even now being surrounded by new residential developments. ) Viewing the progress of the past few years, Roseburg enouia be proud of its airport facilities. ENDING BASKET , We have a catrh-as-catch-can system of dialing till we hear the voice we wish to hear on our ra dio. You'd be surprised! We may think we have an Oregon station and it turns out to be Albuquerque, N.M., or maybe it's San Antonio, or New Orleans, or Cheyenne, or some other place. When I happen ed to turn on the radio early this morning, I. dialed until the word "Yorkmar caught my ear. Some one called Doc and someone call ed Millard were chatting' over the news. . "Doc" quoted the Coast Guard as saying that this morning a ny lon line, fifteen hundred feet long, would be carried by helicopter from the Salvage Chief to the grounded Yorkmar, a messenger line which would of course, be used to lead the heavier lowing line in to the Yorkmar. Well, didn't we just read the other day in the Satevepost about Tugboat Annie's brilliant idea of doing just that? Just why anybody reads Tugboat Annie with such Interest, to see how she "figgcri it out" this time, I don't know when one would sure ly run the other way if Tugboat Annie appeared in the flesh may be that is Tugboat Annie's charm. There just couldn't be anybody In the flesh like her! Another item "Doc" and Mil lard chatted about was the seal which is being defended by a group of lakeshore residents up in Washington. I didn't catch the name of the lake, but the radio But It Never Seems to Get Any Further Than This!

Christmas Mail Deliveries Set WASHINGTON Ufl As in pre vious years, th?re will be Christ mas Day deliveries of packages and other mail this year in cities and towns throughout the country.

Said seal has been around there two years now and the Donald Whipples, with whom he makes his headquarters, and who are' now prepared to do battle to save him from the Dept. of Fisheries, and the fishermen, say he "plays with their dog and their two children and he is everybody'! pet" and nobody Is going to get permission to cross anybody's land thereabouts to shoot that seal I Well. I like seals, too, but I was definitely in the minority one day when EJ took me out to that con verted gambling ship stripped of engines, etc., and the "barge" simply anchored three miles off shore, with shore boats going to and fro. Well, fishing wasn't bad until a seal arrived and began swimming around and around .. . The fishermen began shouting for the skipper to come and shoot the seal. He shot at it, sort of discour- agingly . . , News Item Helps Vet Find Buddy "TllMtu" Tigs nt P,.L,. ,.,L served with Bill Lewalleo in Ko rea, read of his woods accident Thursday night in the News-Review and drove to Glendale the npyf rlnv In laarn u,t., !. .v . i. m,a. iiw iuuiu of Bill's condition and to find out how to contact him.

' It will be far better to WAIT UNTIL AFTER JANUARY 20. ' A little incident that was report ed in the newi of yesterday may mislead shallow, thoughtless peo ple. It seems that Ike and sev eral of his associates aboard the Helena did some skeet shooting off the fantail of the big cruiser which, by the way, is a splendid place for any kind of trap shooting, as the shot falls harmlessly into the sea, I suppose half the nit-wits who read that item are saying by this time: "Yeah, a bunch of big shots having a swell time out there in the warm, pleasant Pacific AT THE TAXPAYERS' EXPENSE." At this point, let's interject a couple of paragraphs from the news of this morning; , The top - level conferences aboard' the Helena ended yester day. What conclusions, if any, were drawn have not been disclosed. But John Foster Dulles (who will be secretary of state in Ike's cab inet) said the conferences will pay dividends to the American people for years in ram, nulled caiH talks will be particularly effective uciauae nicy iruiilinuea wllnUUT OUTSIDE PRESSURE OR IN TERRUPTIONS. He added: "There won't be any Immediate grand-scale payoff but it will be a gradual thing, reaching into every part of the government's op erations at home and abroai." He said that Eisenhower and his aides have now been able to form the framework of the new adminstration policy and that they all KNOW THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THEY ARE GOING AND THE GOALS FOR WHICH THEY ARE AIMING. You're familiar, of course, with the ancient crack about Colum busthat he didn't know where he was going or what he would do when he gut there and was mak ing the trip on borrowed money. There has been too much of that in our government policies of re- PPnf VflSri iirkink l.. . . -" Ti.M.u nave gmuunc ed largely to improvisations fromJ uay 10 uay. n, as a. result of the top-level conferences that have hepn 0mncr nn ih..Hl ,u tt-i the upper echelons of the new ad-1 ..-uuouauuu unuw ine direction in which they are going and the goals for which they are aiming " GREAT GOOD will accrue to the American people. Now let's get back to the skeet. shooting. Did you ever spend a whole day in business conferences so impor tant that they required EVERY OUNCE of concentration of which you were capable? , If so, you'll understand how use ful and constructive a little BREAK in the tension can be. It eases the strain. People LET DOWN and become themselves. AFTER the break, the serious business goes on much more smoothly and efficiently as a re sult of the brief relaxation. Put yourself, if you can, in the position of a group of men upon whose shoulders THE FATE OF AN ENDANGERED NATION RESTS. Try to imagine the strain imposed by such responsibilities. If you are able to do that, you'll be able to understand the value of brief breaks in the super-tension imposed by grave responsibilities. I think you'll agree that even if the taxpayers paid for the shells burned in the skeet shooting it was a good investment.
