Tha Lord Is Blessing These Services I Col. Bob Dicey, director of Rose burg Civil Defense, is pu. Jg lae final touches on the seco.. . direc tive in the history of the organ ization. In a 15-page defense plan, the retired Army colonel has br. ,.it togeuier outlines and stigges..oui from local Civil Defense personnel. The directive wul serve as a basis for operation in the event of disaster anything from war to an earthquake. Data was furnished by deputy directors and others. Recently, Col. Dicey sent out a few copies of the first draft of the directive, asking for corrections or additions. In an accompanying let ter, Dicey shows he's realsiic about Civil Defense. He says the "plan draft is lo be retained by you (key person nel) as a basis for operation in the event that disaster should strike before an approved and signed copy is in your hands." Both Dicey and Brig. Gen. J. T. Pierce, county director, have maintained that this area will be ready for any emergency. Tiie new directive Is one of the things being done to make sure. Besides general instructions on how to operate in an emergency, the directive contains separate sec tions for individual deputies. Col. Dicey ure.es key personnel . to read all the directive. He points 70-Pound Salmon Caught- In Sound SEATTLE 1) A record 70 pound king salmon, said to be the largest ever caught by a sports fisherman in Washington waters, was boated in Puget Sound Tues day by a woman. The mighty king was hooked oy Mrs. Howard E. Little, 31, Seattle, off Hope Island near the mouth of the Skagit River at 8 a. m. and hauled in after a half-hour strug gle. It took the combined efforts of Mrs. Little and her husband to gaff the huge salmon. . No official records are kept by the State Fisheries Department on the largest salmon taken by sports fishermen, but Enos Bradner, out door editor of the Times, said the previous record for Washington was a 69 Vi pound king caught in the Columbia River nearly two years ago. Bradner said tbe biggest pre vious fish ever boated in Puget Sound was 66 pounds, a mark which was equalled last weekend by Moore McKinley of Seattle off Hope Island. Both Mrs. Little and McKinley used No. 6 Canadian wonder spoons. . FILES FOR BANKRUPTCY Shelby R. Mulford, a Myrtle Creek chokerman, has filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. District District Court in Portland. He reports his debts as totaling $5,-039.72. out, "The extreme need for coord ination in disaster makes it im-! perative that all concerned read and study this plan at once. There will be no time to do so after disaster strikes." Among the various instructions which Dicey feels are of extreme importance is one dealing with food supplies. In case of emergency, it is ex plained, people should keep a three-day food supply on hand, but no more. In disaster, even if it be only an influx of refugees from stricken areas, tood sales may be frozen. In such event, sales will be resumed within three days. The public must not be panicked into overstocking, the directive states. Many other del ailed instruc tions are Included ii the plan of operation. Anyone desiring io read a copy of the directive may contact Civil Detense Headquar ters in the Roseburg City Hall. Optimism Expressed On Oil Development (Continued from Page One) A n 1 r v urn '4 V " VT "... GROWS BIG Douglas County residents Can boast that evert "Indian corn" grows big in Douglas County. Tom Ward, on old (80) "sourdough" could attest to that. He shows a specimen picked up on his property at Melrose. iThe seven-foot -stalk usually is much shorter. Ward is now a farmer at Melrose, but he likes to recall the "old days" when he used to pack into the Yukon and Dawson City. That was in 1899. (Paul Jenkins picture).

President Sullivan was ob ious ly optimistic about the possibil ity of discovering oil. He said, "Prior to last month, I . wasn't nearly as optimistic as I am now." He went on to tell why. He read a letter from Ed Fisk, the geologist who sat at the Coles Valley well site which never came in. Fisk agreed that Childs had picked a "very good well site." He went on to say in the letter to Sullivan, "It is the most log ical first location in the area." Geologist Childs exuberantly took over to make some glowing predictions. He said he had picked the site to drill for natural gas. He said a utility would pay 50 cents per thousand cubic feet for the gas, and even the smallest reservoir would bring in 10 million cubic feet per day. Pushing the point farther, he said, "1 think we will have a good wet gas and I don't think it will be very deep." He continued his report on what he called "a legitimate gamble" by stating that 10 of 15 geologists he has brought into the area agree the site is good. He said the picture looked bright because an oil seep age had been discovered at the southwest corner of the Looking-glass-Melrose block and IVi miles away, a gas seepage had been found. In addition, he said, simi lar layers to those found In the Coles Valley well are found 2,400 teet nigner on trie sunace at the Melrose site. He added in passing that 62 per cent of the world's oil is found in the type of beds the company will be drilling in. Childs said enough money was being gathered to drill two holes, but I personally don t believe we will have to move," he added. He pointed out be would be spearheading the drive for funds and asked his fellow members in the enterprise for help. "The com munity will subscrib you all the money you need, because it is for the good of the community," he said. He made a highly prospective projection into the future in the event the "wildcat" operation is successful. He said, "If you can get this (oil and gas) out, in five years, Roseburg wiil have 90,000 people. It will mean new busi ness and a completely independent new economy." Harking back to the present, Childs reported another bit of new information. He said the two com panies have leased 100,000 acres from five miles west of Roseburg to the Pacific Ocean. This, he said. is to put the companies in a more ; favorable position to dicker with big oil companies in case oil is I struck.
