Noted Physician
To Lecture Here
Thursday Night
A noted physician and psychia
trist from Australia, Dr. Fred C.
Schwarz, will speak Thursday at
7:30 at the First Conservative Ban
tist Church 129 W. Lane St. His
topic will be Communism.
Dr. Schwarz has been a prac
ticing surgeon for the past 10 years
in Sydney, Australia. He was grad
uated from the University of
Queensland Medical School. As a
psychiatrist, he has probed the
mind of the Communist to find out
what they think and believe, in
stead of just what they say and
do, as a means of understanding
mo mysteries of Communist ac
tion. Dr. Schwarz believes that Com
munism is the burning issue of our
times both for Christianity as well
as the western civilization. He
says, "I see 900,000,000 people who
are being scientifically brainwash
ed, trained and equipped to en
slave or destroy the rest of mankind."

$84 based on a 40-hour work week.
3. Increased wage rates to be
come effective the week in which
the union membership approves
the employer proposal as submit
ted. In a statement Tuesday, Carl
son, who is also secretary of the
Oregon Independent Retail Groc
ers Assn., said Smith had "refused
to permit his union membership
to vote on our final employer pro
posal in Coos Day." He said the
employers group has filed a pro
test with the international union
representative, charging the Coos
Bay union and Smith with viola
lion of the national union policy
in refusing to submit the employer
offer to a vote of the union mem
bership before calling a strike."
(Smith is secretary of both the
Coos Bay and Roseburg area un
ions).
Carlson said several smaller
stores in the Coos Bay area have
settled on the up ion s terms.
Smith, meanwhile, denied the f'
nal employers' offer had not bean
submitted at Coos Bay. "They
were Informed of the offer fend
knew there was nothing new in it,
and they turned it down," Smith
said.
Carlson said Tuesday the final
offer had not been presented to
the union membership in a secret
ballot. Turning to the local situa
tion Henninger concluded:
"We sincerclv tniM that Ihe sec
retary of the Roseburg Meat Cut
ters Union will submit our wage
proposal to the mcmbershin of
the local union early this week in
order that a peaceful settlement
of the contract may be reached
without loss of wages 1o our em
ployes as well as a disruption of
business in our reiail meal mar
kets." He snirl the meat shops
would be closed down. "Our mar
ket operators wish to prevent anv
inconvenience to our customers,
Henninger said.
About 25 employes would be di
redly involved if a strike were
called, he said. He reported the
local union was expected to meet
tonight in Roseburg.

Sewer Bid Reected
The council rejected McAllis
ter's bid of $2,903 for construction
of a storm sewer on Terrace Av
enue at City Manager George Car
rell'f request to let the city street
division take a crack at it. En
gineer's estimate on the job was
$2 91B 96
Only the Court Street job will be
assessable to adjoining property
owners. The city has cash budget
ed for storm sewers, and money
for their construction will come
from the general fund.
The move to put parking me
ters came over the objections of
Councilmen Ross Myers and Ken
neth Ellison. It was brought be
fore the council by Farrell on re
quest of oroperty owners along
the street.The metered section will
be on the west side of the street
between the Southern Pacific Co,
decot and Lane Street.
Ellison Joins Myers
Myers sought, through a motion,
to quash thj proposal, Mr, his mo
lion died for lack of a second. La
ter, when 'he council vo.id on the
matter, FAn n joined n:'n d a
v lice In!'.3t l..I.':inst.
The traffic cnmmi'.tee of the
council has Farrell's proposed pol
icy on maintenance of unimprov
ed streets i t tne sum n.-r under
advisement.
The policy was written during
the last two weeks after residents
nf Parrott Street petitioned tne
city to oil their street to keep dust
unllleH.
Farrell prooosed, instead, an
asphalt penetration treatment.
Residents would buy asphalt for
their streets and the city would
furnish sand or gravel for surface.
Cost per application, he estimated,
would come to 20 cents a front
foot for property owners and 10
cenls for the city.
Surface Permanent
People living on an unimproved
street first would have to petition
the city for aid. Two applications,
on successive years, plus more as
needed for maintenance, would
provide a fairly permanent sur
face though below regular paving
standards, the city manager stat
ed. Farrell also said such a treat
ment would be less expensive than
upkeep of a gravelled street.
In other action, the council:
1. Paid $1 to Charles W. Whar
ton' for right-of-way easements in
Wharton Acres subdivision.
Street Vacations Okayed
2. Approved the first readings of
ordinances to vacale Corey Street
nd Almond and Evans avenues
3. Authorized the attendance of
Farrell at the National Conference
on Government in Seattle July
24-28. City Atty. Paul E. Geddes,
as a State Senate representative
on a legislative inlerim committe,
also will attend.
4. Was reminded by Mayor Er
nest Barker Jr. that nominations
from e6ch councilman for posi
tions on a sanitary sewer study
committee must be made by July
18.
5. Accepted May and June
claims against the city, subject to
perusal by Farrell.

Two Round Aerial Bombs
Removed From Storage
Two, round aerial bombs, black
in color and 6 inches in diameter
were removed from a storage
shed at the Douglas County Fair
grounds during the day Tuesday
or sometime dining the Monday
night fireworks display, according
to Warren Woodruff.
Woodruff is chairman of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce
committee which presented the
display.
He termed the bombs "extreme
ly dangerous and highly explo
sive." Woodruff urged parents to
check with their children and
make sure they were not playing
with them. The bombs are filled
with gunpflwder. They have fuses
which ignite immediately.
Woodruff said the bombs would
probably cause serious injury to
persons unfamiliar with exploding
them. He said there would be
no prosecution in the case, and
that the Jaycees just wanted to
make sure "no one gets hurtl"
Clendale Man Fractures
Pelvis In Log Accident
K. B. McNabb, 19, Glendale, is
in Josephine County Hospital at
Grants Pass with a fractured pel
vis, but he is probably thankful
for his life.
Glendale correspondent Mrs. G.
B. Fox reports the youth was rush
ed to Grant Paas by a National
Hospital ambulance Tuesday aft
ernoon after a Jog rolled off a
truck he was loading and struck
him on the hip. Relatives said his
pelvis was cracked in several
laces. They said X - ray plates
have been sent to a Medford
bone specialist for further study.
McNabb was working for the
Stuart Logging Co. on a job above
old Highway 99 between Azal
ea and Glendale. Mrs. Fox reports
he was loading a truck and the
log fell. His employer Sam Stuart
said the youth stumbled as the
log toppled over and this may have
saved his life.

Morals Counts Jail
2 Here On Weekend
Two Douglas County men, one
the postmaster at K Ik ton, landed
in jail over the weekend, both
charged with moral offenses.
The postmaster, Kenneth Pat
rick McCollum, 39, is charged
with sodomy. He was arrested
Sunday by a deputy sheriff, but
posted $5,000 bail set by Justice
of the Peace Clarence Leonard,
Drain, and was freed.
The act allegedly involved a 14-year-old
boy in the post office.
McCollum was to be arraigned,
possibly today, in Judge Leonard's
court.
The second man in custody is
Woodford Orest Weathers, 49,
Reedsport. He's charged with the
rape of his daughter, 16, and a
deputy sheriff said the girl is preg
nant. Complaint against Weathers was
signed by his wife, Thelma, who
the deputy said is also pregnant.
Judge Leonard bound the pris
oner over to the grand jury and
set bail at $2,000. Weathers, the
deputy said, has four other chil-
aren, an younger man me girt.

Of course I should have checked
this adjustment before shooting
any pictures. As a matter of fact
I did, both visually and by touch;
but too casually, for the darned
thing had appeared all right to me.
At any rate, when I discovered
the damage which had been done,
all I could do was lean against
the darkroom wall and curse wear
ily and weakly, withal venomous
ly. Also I decided to do humanity
a service, by explaining the treach
eries inherent in photography, the
cancerous eating away of one's
moral stamina caused by a photo
graphic career, the certainty that,
if such a career is Dersisted in.
the madhouse ultimately will
claim another victim.
If you have to be anything, be
a soldier, you can only be shot at;
or a big game hunter, wild ani
mals only can claw or bite you;
or a snake charmer, snakes only
can poison or choke you; but don't
become a photographer, when any
thing, usually much more unpleas
ant, can, and will, be your lot as
long as you live.
Oh, another thing. The picture
I was going to run with this story
didn't turn out. It was light-struck
in the darkroom, of ail things.
