"That which you kecji to yourself is lost t'orei-r." The adventure proponent based many of his comments on his Arctic experiences as a mounty. He cited numerous instances where he had learned positive thinking from Eskimo friends. Once in the wastelands of the frozen northland, he and an Eski mo guide missed their home ba.se. Montague eventually admitted he was lost. The Eskimo did not agree that he, top, was lost. "I am here, the igloo is lost," he coun tered. Such positive thinking, the speaker avowed, is needed. "Don't worry about a thing," he noted, "Your life is where you are." Montague says he lives each day as the only day he lives. "Each may be the last," he said, "and someday it will be." He gave as his key to adventure Ihe following daily rdcipe. A per son should "live a little, give a little, learn a little, love a little and create a little." And learning to live, he continued, is learning to love. . . , . ...

UIV President Asks 4-Year Draft Law Extension (Continued from Page 0e) hike the present service pay roll by about 6.7 per cent for salary and allowances. At present the government is pay ing out about $10,500,000,000 for those purposes. On that bsis, the, added cost would be about $705, 000,000 a year. - -s vo'ed on mo- sage of 1,800 words to the pay question and a j;ar.a o, words to his request for continua tion of the draft law and establish ment of an improved reserve pro gram, He said extension oi the selective service law, due to Expire June 30 "is necessary because exper ience demonstrates that active armed forces of the size we must maintain cannot be raised by vol untary enlistments alone." He said too an effective reserve program to provide a pool of trained fighting men is necessary because: "We cannot possibly keep armed and in uniform the total forces that might ultimately be required in an all-out war. The inescapable burdens would endan'er the lib erties and the economic system we are determined to defend." Major parts of the proposed re serve program had been disclosed late last year by the Pentagon. The chief feature is a plan for six months' training each year of about 100,000 young men who woujd go directly into the reserve. In asking a "selective" pay rise for military men, Eisenhower said the problem is to keep trained men in the service. He said only 11.6 per cent of Army personnel re enlisted in 1954 compared with a rate of 41.2 per cent in 1949. . He added: "Since 1949. there has been one increase in pay which, along with increases in allowances, amount ed to an aggregate advance in compensation of 5.7 per cent. Mil itary pay, nevertheless, has fallen behind that of industry. In addi tion, supplementary pay practices, health, security and retirement benefits and bonus systems are now widesDread throughout indus try, and this fact tends to neu tralize uch advantage as the mil itary servicesi had in these fields. "While the high turnover in mil itary oersonnel is costlv' in dol lars, even more costly is the loss of experience and operational ef ficiency which results from. it. Jaycees Plan Mile O' Dollars Roseburg Junior Chamber of Commerce members will join the battle against polio Saturday when they conduct their annual mile of dollars" project.

Chairman Bruce Hamilton said Thursday. Jaycees already have a start on the mile strip. Members attending the organization's Mon day night meeting made initial contributions. Roseburg, Ort. Fire Destroys Home At Curtin On Wednesday Tn ' spite of valiant fire fighting efforts by - neighbors Wednesday morning, the home of Ted Lynam in Curtin burned to the ground. ' Lynam's wife and small son, Larry, 4, had just stepped out of the house about 9 a.m. when the small frame house burst into flames, report Curtin News-Review Correspondent Ruby Meach am. They saved only the clothes they were wearing. Lynam was at work at the time. Quick action by Mrs. . Lynam's brother, Merle Clark, saved the family pets. Clark broke a kitch en window, despite the intense heat, Mrs. Meacham said. The cat and dog belonging to the Lynams jumned through the broken glass safely. Curtin residents pitched in in an attempt to save the structure. The volunteer fire fighters , used an electric pump belonging to Otto Gregory to poll water from Deer Creek in a vain effort to quench the flames, Mrs. Meacham said. The morning blaze was prevent ed from spreading to nearby hous es by volunteers who keot hoses spraying water on them. Even the water tailed to prevent the heat from melting the asphalt siding on the home next door, Mrs, Meach am added. Cause of the fire and extent of damages has not been determin ed, according to the correspond ent. The family reportedly carried no insurance. The Lynams are' staying with Mrs. Lynam's moth er, Mrs. Viola Clark of Curtin. Lynam is employed by the R 4 R Lumber Co. of Leona. Sentencing Slated Fof L. R.

Woodruff took the case of Levi Roy White under advisement until todav following a non-jury trial Wedm-sday. White was released after posting $300 bail.

Forking XT) Oakland School Board Accepts Two Resignations (Continued from Page One) member Harold Crouch.-"He said "inefficiency broadly covers" the reason. Supt. Cummings added there was "nothing heinous" about Akey's actions. . - Akey had apparently handed in his application as Cummings re quested, but the "majority" of the board was unwilling to accept it. According to his statement, Cummings then handed in his res ignation. He said the board had reauested his resignation as a condition for its acceptance of the. resignation of Akey.

The only heated words hinged on the failure of either the board or the men in volved to discuss the reason ior; the request for Akey s resignation. However, when the decision was announced,- not a murmur arose. Many agreed it was the best so lution for what one men termed "a horrible mess." Although it took considerable discussion, the outcome shaped up early. One board member said the board had decided retention of one or the other alone would cause a "split community." He said the board had decided to eith er keep both men or accept both resignations. Cummings retorted that he and Akey could not work another year together. He empha sized his adamancy by saying "I can't change what I believe just to make things pleasant." Both the board and suoerintend ent carried the discussion on a high plane, although Cummings had explained his position previ ously. He had said "whenever the confidence between the majority of the board and the super intendent breaks down to a point where one fails to uphold the pol icies and decisions of the other, mutual relations become unten able." The only retort from the board's s'de came from Crouch, who said your exptanaton (for Akev'ti resignation renuest Is vorv uneat. isfactory." He also called the ac tion "linttictifttiMa " Qi,,pl,D cl,! . he had "nothin" personal" againi either man. 'I like them both," he said. Lyle Himmelwright, the third member, sooke not a word public ly during the entire meeting. After the decision was announc ed, Cummings would make no comment. Akey said he would soon "be on mv bicycle looking for a naw job." Cummings holds a three-year contract but waived the nay for two years remaining on the con tract. Both men plan to finish the school year at Oakland.

(Continued from Page One) hack into special session to make drastic reductions in . appropria tions, chieily those for schools and public welfare. To finance the $219,000,000 budg et, the state needs about $63,000, 000 more revenue. Geary and Smith believe that it the people continue getting the services they want, they'll have to vote the money to finance . them. As to the governor's proposal to deny the federal income tax deduc tion, Geary said: "It would be an immoral tax. It u.niid oe a Ux oil a lax. in creasing income tax rates would be a more honest way of doing it." Smith agreed, saying it should' be done only as a last tesort. Geary and Smith said they fear that a state property tax would make it hard to collect local school taxes. The state would get first claim on its share of the property taxes, regardless of whether enough would be left to finance local activities. Geary said a state property tax might cause a "taxpayers revolt," and that it probably would increase the rate of tax delinquencies.
