2 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, 0r. Fri., Jan, 22, 1954 Glendale-Azdea Switchboard Installation Now Complete By MRS. G. B. FOX Installation work was completed Ust week on an automatic tele phone switch board which links Azalea directly to the Glemlale ex change. The automatic swithboard makes the presence of an Azalea operator no longer necessary larly long, Jones said that while it would probably be possible to get lines built and some of the phones installed in readiness for service, the whole modernization program in Glendalo awaits the arrival of the new and larger automatic switch board which was ordered many months ago. The The entire Azalea system has! company cannot expect receipt of been modernized with replacement of defective lines, and installation of modern dial-type phones. Ac cording to Bob Jones, of the Glen dale Telephone Co. about 15 new subscribers are still to be hooked into the system but it is hoped that may be completed within the next two weeks. Objectionable noise on the lines has been largely eliminated and this condition will further be improved in the near future when equipment ordered for the purpose arrives and is put into service. The quality of service for Azalea patrons will further bo improved wnen a larger automatic swucn board can be put into service there since the nowjy-instatlea switch board is already too small to handle adequately the traffic between Azalea and uicnaaie. Jones further stated that the ' next big job for the local tele phone company is the modern ization of service in Wolf Creek. The firm is negotiating at present with Western Union concerning possibility of attaching the new wire wftion is 10 replace me oiu lines there to Western Union Doles. Asked when work would begin on the expanding of service in Glendale, itself, where the wait ing list for new phones is particu- the equipment before late next summer. The new GlciidaJe telephone building, built of concrete blocks bv a local contracting firm, is not yet completed inside.

W A Univer sity of Oklahoma professor of criminology did some extracurric ular sleuthing and nabbed four freshmen who were trying to ped dle copies of his final examina tion in advance at $30 a throw. The four devised a novel plan to lay their hands on the coming examination. They painstaking ly poked in trash cans looking for discarded stencils which were used to mimeograph the exam inations. Finally, they came up with the criminology final of Dr. Gilbert Geis. 29, and two others. They planned carefully, but should have taken the hint. "For three days the phone had been ringing continually," said Geis. "Students told me they had been approached and that the cop ies were selling for around $30 cash. Finally some one gave us a line on who was selling them." Geis said one of the graduate students working for the depart ment of sociology was used as the "bait." He contacted the suspects ?nd offered to pay the $30. They said the copy of (he examination would be delivered. When the courier arrivsd he was met bv Geis, Chief 'of Po lice A. C.

Prisoners Get Freedom But Stay In Compound (Continued from Page One) 18-Year Voting Age Approved start of the Korean War 3 Vi years ago. Allied insistence that no prison ers be forced to go home against Mieir will was a major stumbling block in the prolonged armistice talks. The pro-Red American, British and South Korean POW staged a sitdown strike in their compound. The purpose was to back the Com munist position that they should Iia hftlsl until thnir fnto i jlivirlfifl Said hv A k'nrpan npnrp' rnnfi'rpnpp But it was considered likely that when their food runs out they will mai'ch north and vanish be hind the Iron Curtain. The Indian command made a final appeal Friday for the Keds to accopt the pro-communist pris oners, but it was rejected. Instead, the Keds warned In dian Lt. Gen. K. S. Thimayya it would consider the Indians re sponsible for seeing that there is no "aoaiicuon and dispersion ot the pro-Reds. The Indian commander met with leaders of the pro-Red com pound, U.S. Sgt.

Forest Service has changed the name of Douglas lir, but Oregin stale for esters will ignore the change. The alteration is mostly on the scientific level. Douglas fir has been called by botanists for 150 years or so, "pseudotsuga taxi folia." That gives a brief descrip tion of foliage and says it's a false hemlock. The new scientific name, but not in Oregon where the Legislature has spoken, is "menzicsii." in recognition of the claim of Scottish naturalist Archibald Menzies to having discovered it. There are those, though, who say David Doug las, also a Scottish naturalist, made the discovery. Along with the scientific name change, there's a move afoot to put a hyphen in the common name and make it Douglas-fir. The Doug las fir without a hyphen industry isopposed. Homer G. Lyon Jr., the slate forestry department's publicity man, says it will take an act of the Legislature to change the botanical name in Oregon, where a 1939 law made pseudotsuga taxi folia the state tree.

Oil Develooment Here ISrudent Steak To Be Attempted Again pjnner A$ Polio (Continued from Page one; voir could be tapped. "It would be good for industry," he said. He advised securing leases on about 22,000 acres in the Look-ingglass-Melrose area. The group responded by voting lo sell the remainder (some $8,000) of the capitalization stock of Oil Develop ers to buy leases. As for the cost of putting down another hole, President Sullivan pciimataH 7S ooo "in start' He said one man with drilling equip ment would prooamy De wuihib m drill for $50,000 to 5,000 feet. (Sul livan said this would be about cost and the operator would be willing to gamble on the profit.) Raising Monty Problem Raising the money was the knot- lu nrnltlam nPVPI- niliti AOlved dt the meeting. Attorney Paul Ged des pointed out two alternatives: (1) increase siock in uu uevciuH ers. Inc. or (2) form a new corpor ation and sell stock in it. He stat ed the first alternative would be a "rugged job" because of the Blue Sky Law which would limit nA, otnnlr oalae in fIP amOUllt left from the $100,000 capilaliza- : l .t fO lAA ...htrth lion issue auuui ,uw .....,. could only be sold to present stockholders. Launching a new corporation loaa aonjtpallu.flOrflMl H LllP best step. No definite action was taken on such a formation, but the group voted to allow the Oil Developers board of directors to negotiate with any other group for develop ment OI on. ine move was uu viously pointed toward paving the way for another corporation. Distribution Proves Puzzle One problem arising was the kind of distribution to the two corporation stockholders if both had interests in proceeds from oil development. Again no actin was taken, but the consensus appeared to be to divide profits on a per centage basis determined by the amount of stock sold in the sec ond corporation. For example, if $75,000 in stocks were sold in the second corporation, distribution to the second corporation would be 3-7 of all profits. In Oil Develop ers stock the split of profits would be 4-7, since $100,000 worth of stock had been sold in it. Childs reported that leasing is already coins on in the I.ooking- glass-Melrose area and landowners have been very cooperative, since they wish to see the area develop ed. Childs gave a flat promise of a guarantee of drilling in the event enough money could not be raisod on the local scene. He said if it could not be raised within six months, he would guarantee a mid - continent company would come in and make Hie hole to pro tect investments already made. He said, however, leaving of the 22, 000 acre block in the I.ookinqlass area would be a neccsiary requi site. The next meeting of the group is scheduled Feb. 11. Benefit Success Approximately 400 townspeople attended a Swiss steak dinner sponsored by the senior class of Roseburg High School last night in the Terrace Ballroom of the Elks Club. The dinner was part of the campaign to raise funds for the polio drive and all proceeds will go towards that fund.

Dinner-time entertainment was provided by the senior class with Master of Ceremonies Larry White and his cast of Ralph Barker, George Barnes, Donna Ellison, Norm Nibblett, LeRon Sanders, Shirley Siiller and Barbara Hayes. Roseburg's ex-Mayor Al Flegel re lieved White as emcee and intro duced Oregon's Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton and his wife, who were among the guests. The Terrsce Ballroom was used through the cooperation of Nor man Nelson, Elks manager, and Bill Holborow, chairman of the Elks' polio drive. Lee Walters, Rita Fritz and Wade Dunn also assisted in preparing and serving the Sinner. This year for the first time, Roseburg High School has issued a challenge to all other Oregon hioh -hnnls to raise money for the polio fund. The Del McKay Trophy is pre. senled to the class raising the most money for the drive.
