Faces Street,
Sewer Items
The Roseburg City Council will
consider two major items of busi
ness prominent in a heavy agenda
tonight at 7:30 in the city hall.
The council will receive the rec
ommendation of the City Planning
Commission that proposed im
provements to the city's sewer
system be presented to the peo
ple this spring.The improvements,
initially, call for construction of a
new sewage disposal plant and
sewers in the west side of the
city. Bond issues for approximate
ly $800,000 have been called for
by consulting engineers who sur
veyed sewers for the city a year
ago.
A proposal by City , Manager
George Farrell for reversal of the
one-way street grid system also
will be acted on. Farrell said
some opposition to the move has
been made by school people, who
foresee traffic danger, on Rose
Street Dear Central Junior High
School and on Jackson and Main
streets south of Mosher.
Farrell had proposed that the
grid be extended on Jackson and
Main south to Orcutt Street.
A publjf hearing is slated at 7:30
by the council. It will be for
presentation of remonstrances on
the proposed assessments on the
recently completed Beulah Addi
tion sewers.

Rampant Weather Marks
Midlands Spring Debut
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Spring came cold and soggy to
the nation's midlands Monday after
winter's boisterous exit Sunday
amid tornadoes, torrential rains,
widespread snowfall and flood.
Sunday, officially the last day of
winter, nrougnt tnree to live incites
of snow in Colorado, Western Ne
braska and Western Kansas, with
near blizzard conditions around
Loveland, Colo.; a series of tor
nadoes along the Missouri-Arkansas
border; a windstorm so violent it
blew down a circus tent at Uvalde,
Tex., and a four inch rain that
flooded Piedmont, Mo.
Monday, the first day of spring,
saw temperatures drop below
freezing as far south - as Texas
as snow sprinkled the southwestern
and central great plains and upper
Mississippi Valley. It drizzled in
Chicago. The drizzle froze at Okla
homa City.
Local Freezing Record
Makes Observer Dubious
It's spring! That's what the cal
endar says. It started shortly after
4 a.m. today.
But the weatherman isn't so
sure here. Weather figures for the
month just don't indicate that it's
leading up to spring.
in fact, the weatherman says:
"I just don't trust this March."
so tar, he's naa good cause.
There have been 21 mornings thii
month. On 17 of them, tempera
ture has been freezing or below.
That included this morning's low
of 30 degrees. And it compares
to the normal of only four freez
ing days In March.
, More than that, with the month
still uncompleted, there have been
more freezing days than in either
January or February and nearly
as many as in December.
In each of the two preceding
months, irosty-mornings were ob
served on 16 occasions. Normally,
there are 10 in January and seven
in February.
In December, there were 19
freezes. March still has 14 days to
catch up.
The cold point came this month
Sunday morning when the ther
mometer skidded to 20 degrees.
That was just one point off the
winter's low of 19 on Feb, 19.
This month's frosty days may
be near a local record. The weath
erman, scanning quickly through
weather observations dating bacK
to 1878, said he couldn't find a
March with more cold mornings.
But it was only a qui:k check.
And, like he says, the month
isn't over yet.

For 'Plight', Hopes
For Renomination
WASHINGTON UR Sen. Morse
(D-Ore) said Saturday be was
"one Democrat who hopes that the
Republican candidate (in the next
presidential election) will be none
other than Dwight D. Eisenhower."
Morse told a meeting of the
Americans for Democratic Action
that was "because the responsibil

developing in our country both on
the domestic and foreign fronts
rests squarely on the shoulders of
the President himself... It is the
President who is responsible for
every reactionary in his political
family and it is the President who
Is responsible for the great damage
that is being done to our economy
by the depredation of big business
leaders who have come, to dominate
the White House,"
The senator said that monopolis
tic combines have increased at a
more rapid rate in the two years
of the Eisenhower administration
than in any two-year period in the
last 50 years.
"The campaign of 1956 will not
anly be one of the most historic
a American history, but it may
very well determine whether or not
the American people will sanction
the present trend toward economic
Fascism by American big business
under the Eisenhower administra

tinued to issue additional kill
permits.
Neighbors Prottit
Trouble almost broke out Satur
day between a group of the Lees
neighbors who had gathered at the
farm and a caravan of Cherry
Grove residents who objected to
the slaughter.
State Policeman Loren Parcher,
a game commission enlorcement
officer, said "hard words were
passed between the Lees ana
members of the caravan." No
threats were made, however, and
the caravan later pulled away,
The Lees said they had received

Portland saying they should be
strung up "with a rope."
