"People have lost sight of the prv
mary functions of the Red Cross,"
ne tarn.
He credited this as a reason
for much misunderstanding about
"great humanitarian society," and
too many people think it is to be
turned to only in time of need. By
adding many secondary functions
to the primary purposes the Red
Cross reaches a point where "it
can't handle every situation," he
related. This means some people
become disgruntled, he pointed out
Mrs. Mildred Herman, local Red
Cross secretary, listed the primary
functions as: (1) furnishing volun
teer aid to sick and wounded of
the armed forces, (2) acta in mat
ters of voluntary relief, (3) as a
medium of communication between
people of the U. S. and thier
armed forces and (4) disaster pre
paredness ana renei,
He said the way to erase the
misconception is to inform people
what the Red Cross does in the
day-to-day course of work. As an
example, he pointed out the local
Red Cross office turned over 675
pints of blood to local hospitals
last year. At $25 a pint, the money
value exceeds the amount raised
for operation of the organization
hero, he said
Boocher's call to arms preceded

Holbrook Tells Drain's
Needs At Chamber Meet

wife's father and mother met at
Drain Normal School," he said:
As for Drain's future, he pre
dicted lumber mills as we know
thorn will be secondary industries
in perhaps 25 years. He viewed
laminated wood as the industry of
the future. Then, he said, ma
chines will be "pulling logs apart
re-arranging their fibers and
pressing thorn together," for a
product "strong as steel and ab
solutely fireproof. You hear about
timber byproducts." he said.
"The lumber industry will be a
byproduct of the plastic fiber in
dustry." He said indications point to the
rapid depletion of the "so-called
peeler log." This, he said, will
put the damper on the booming
plywood industry.
Preceding HomrooK s speecn,
the Drain Chamber's past and
present presidents gave brief re
ports. Incoming President Rich
ard A. Duncan introduced the new
officers. They are: Stacy Johnson,
vice-president: secretary, Mary
Scott: treasurer, Leo Regan; and
directors Jerry Whipple, Robert
Miller, "Speed" Holmes, Chester
Rydell and "Hank" Goixlmanson.
Miller is the retiring president.

roots in Douglas County through
his wife's family.
She is the former Sibyl Walker.
She was a superintendent in the
early 1930's of the Roseburg Gen

bofcre his election.
He oledecd that Yugoslavia will
pursue an independent path in its
lorcign policy aespue inenaiyover
lures from Russia since last
spring after Stalin's death.
But, simultaneously, he made it
clear that he would not part com
pany with the West, which came
to this country's aid after its
break with the cominform in 1948.
Tito was the only candidate for
the presidency put forward by the
country's only political party, the
Communist-ruled Socialistic Al
liance. His election was unani
mous. He will take his oath of
office Saturday before a joint ses
sion of Parliament.

The Eden plan would have tne
effect at the outset of removing
the Iron Curtain from bast Ger
many. It specifies that guarantees
for free elcctfons must provide for
unrestricted movement throughout
Germany, free choice of candi

It also provides that the pro
