Ted Meglasson, a News-Review reader at Glen dale, sends us an editorial from National Rifleman's mag azine, urging; that it be reprinted. While the editorial is too long for use here in full, the theme is one that justifies repeated emphasis. It deals with parental responsibility in providing rifle training for youngsters. We can agree fully with Mrs. Meglasson that the subject is a timely one for parents. The editorial writer, commenting on the fact that many . an American boy received a dog or a rifle, or both, at Christmas time, observes : Th boy who ejots a dog for Chrlttmat seldom hat to bo told how to care for him properly. It U felr tumption, how over, that many moro parent! will tpand many more houra tell ing him how to feed and train and handle the dog than tney will m teaching him how to care for and handle the gun they ; give htm. , In giving a rifle to any boy, hl parents attume an obligation to him and a responsibility to their community which go far beyond a few "do's" and "don't." For we must admit that a rifla can be dangerous if placed in the hands of an eager, un trained and careless boy. On the other hand If parents will as sume the moral obligation of seeing to It at the very beginning that the boy is properly taught the rules of safe gun handling, their gift will bring to him untold hours of wholesome recreation in the field or on the range. Careless Habits Formed The writer goes on to point out that tragedies from firearms are not the fault of guns themselves, but result from careless use; that accidents can be prevented if the owner of a firearm is properly educated in its handling and use. His premise certainly is one permitting no disagree ment. But we shudder wtien cation most of our vounirsters As we listen to "kid" programs on radio, we find them full of gun fights. Villains ambush the hero, being - incredibly poor shots, while the hero, from his galloping mount, shooti the pistol out of the villain's hand at a dis tnnee of a half mile or more. Today's youngster watches the movie or television screen as bullets fly in all directions, or sees the gallant Marines dash through surf and sand behind a curtain of machine cun and automatic Is it any wonder then that he is forever pointing his cap pistol or toy space gun at some person, while unloos ing a screeching "r-a-a-a-tch, iollowcd invariably by "gotcha." The youngster can hardly be blamed if he shoots some one with a loaded pistol, carelessly left within his reach, after forming such habits. In our day as we wore born "Thirty Yeara Too Soon," pointing even a cap gun at another person would have resulted in a trip to the woodshed. Training Now Available The writer of the National Rifleman's editorial points out that supervised training now is available in the Junior Program sponsored by clubs affiliated with the National Rifle Assn. of America. We are pleased to note that such a program now has been initiated by the Roseburg Rifle Club at its new facilities built by the Roseburg Rod and Gun Club. Mrs. Meglasson informs us that the Junior Program also has been initiated by the Cow Creek Rod and Gun Club. The parent who lacks time or ability to train his own youngster in proper handling of firearms can obtain help from these organizations in his own community. As population centers more and more in metropolitan areas, this problem of rifle and dog becomes increasingly acute. When youngsters had more area in which to hunt, ana parents could give time known as a nation of riflemen. Rut when kids must go many miles to hunting areas, and often do their shooting in rather heavily populated farm manded. Too frequently caution is secondary to enthu siasm. $t is to be hoped (hat efforts of the National Rifle Assn to set up programs designed to meet these changing con ditions receive widespread cooperation. JJaf NEW YORK vet The average wife complains her husband doesn't talk enough at home. The average employer complains that same husband spends too much lime exercising his vocal cords at the office. Both the wife and the boss are absolutely right. Naturally. But what can be done about it? How can the boss get this husband to gab less While he's on the job, and the wife make him give with a little .more conversation after he comes home and takes off his thoes? The problem as I see it is quite simple. The hired hands come to work full of overnnight woes they are eager to pour into any ear. All day long they lope from desk: to desk telling their troubles. But when they return at even tide to their little castles and the good wife begs, "Tell me what's new at the office? Well, what can they reply? They don t know any- thing new, becnuse they have been so busy bragging about their own! problems they haven't had a chance to lfstcn to the other fol-i low. Besides, they don't want to laiK. ineir jawuoncs are worn out already. Now, here is a simple, easy way lo solve this problom in a way to please everybody concerned hired hand, boss and wife. You do it with cards. When the employes arrive for work, they. are handed cards and are alloted 15 minutes in which to write down all the interesting things that have happened to them since the day before. The cards are filled out in quadruplicate.

They are realistic enough to accept his siiualion, but they have not actually digested it. So it is that they grasp at every straw which promises any renew al of their onetime dominance in world affairs. So it is, too, that they dwell so heavily upon their claims to wisdom in this field claims founded upon long prac tice in the arts of diplomacy. In contrast they see America as a brash youngster fumbling in pitiful ignorance in the face of giant problems. Every error, every inconsistency of policy, is magnified with evident ill temper, or with the gloating pleasure of the oldster who wants to see the young man fail as proof of his elderly superiority. Psychologically, this sort of per formance is easy to appreciate. It is natural enough that men accus tomed to the power and respon sibility and glory of world lead ership should look with some re sentment upon those who have taken over their high scats. Pick ing flaws in the newcomer's per formance is the most obvious way to demonstrate distaste for what has happened. The Europeans, in other words. are being human in their response to a vastly changed world situa tion. Yet they are not being quite human enough. If they were, they would under stand better the origins of their own resentments, and act mure sharply to curb them in the in terests of improved relations. And if they were, they would realize that the great wisdom they profess ought' to include toler ance and encouragement of the young. The Europeans have been run ning the affairs of the world for centuries. They like doing it, be lieving it was rather a case of "to the manor born." The Americans, on the other hand, (lid not seek world leader ship but had it forced upon them. They were largely isolationists un til the war. And they have had a bare eight years in which to ac Douglas PTA Council To Sponsor Radio Series The Douglas County Council of the Parent-Teachers Assn. is spon soring a series of programs on KKXI. starting next Monday deal ing with child personalities.

It would be a miracle is any nation were to assume global lead ership even in auiet times with out committing many mistakes in a trial - ind - error learning per iod. To expect a country lo mas ter the role without error in an ordeal of crisis like the present age is fantastic. Yet again and again the Euro peans seem to be judging Amer ica's performance not as an eight- year wonder but as a centuries old pattern which it is not. They appear to be expecting that we should learn in this short span all the skills, all the seasoned responses that they have practiced with a will since the modern age dawned. There is no compassion in this attitude. And we have always heard that compassion is the hardy offspring of great wisdom. (NEA) John Jacob Astor had lost and repossessed his fort at Astoria, but the recovery of his property did not mark the return of his fur operations on the west coast. The Northwesters had been in posses sion long enough'to establish their trade practices firmly in the re gion. Anything that Astor could do now would be in the capacity ol a second stringer.

The two Engli&h rivals, the Northwest Company and the Hudson's Bay Company, i could not carry on their warfare! without events shaping themselves ; to the advantage of the Amcri-i cans. The rival did the obvious1 thing. They united under the banners of Hudson s Bay. Two weeks after Astoria was re turned to the United States, Brit lsh a,,tl American representatives signed at London a treaty that mentioned the Oregon question, but did not settle it. There were other questions involved, in which ootn countries were more con cerned. That was for the moment at least. Ureal Britain claimed the right to navigate the Mississip pi. The other question was the northern boundary of Louisiana. Great Britain finally accepted the forty ninth parallel to the Hock' Mountains. Beyond that she would not agree to extend the boundary to the Pacific. Had she done so the Oregon question would have been settled at a single stroke. It also settled the Mississippi ques tion. Both sides were willing to stall; for time.

A similar proposal was voted down over two years ago. It was explained that both the city hall and library are inade quate and jail prisoners must now be sent to Sutherlin, reports Ncws Ueview Correspondent Edith Dunn. At the same meeting, the Oak land Council authorized signature of a contract with the State High way Commission for grading and paving of Stearns Avenue. The Council also discussed construct ing a side walk on the south ide of the street bordering the Martin Bros. Box Co. operation.
