Opening Date Scheduled For Clendale Schools The high school and elementary schools in Glendale will open Aug. 29 this year, according to Supt. James Pate. Last year the schools closed well ahead of most of the schools in Douglas County. It is felt by the local officials that it is better to start and close early, said Pate, since the chil dren are often restless and inat tentive. He further pointed out that there is little crop-harvesting in the Glendale area of a type which could require the children's help. BUS LINE SUED C.

A local veterinarian guesses the best time a quartcrhorse ever hat run his specialty the quarter mile was 22.2 seconds, or 40.54 miles per nour. Men slow down at greater dis tances. John Landy ran the mile in 3 minutes 58 seconds, a velocity of 15.13 miles per hour. Roseburg mgn ncnoois ace muer, Mark Robbins, turned in a time of 4 min utes 27.4 seconds last, spring, or 14.55 mpb. Water Pact Slow,r Surprisingly, men don't slow down much at the really long dis tances. Emil Zatopck went a i x miles in 28 minutes 8.4 seconds Jim Peters took 2 hours 18 min utucs 40.2 seconds to run 26 miles .185 yards the marathon. Both Zatopck and Peters ran 12.85 miles per hour. It's when man takes to water that he really slows up. John B. Marshall swam 3.03 miles per hour in wallowing a mile in 19 minutes 49.4 seconds. Back to hav burners, the origin al Pony Express horses carried their riders at 25 miles per hour. it's been estimated But that was on fairly long cours- i 10 miles or so. The steeds tonight will be raced on courses ranging from 'vmile to two miles in length. Horsemen think their animals can make be tween 25 and 30 miles per hour not over that. That allows no lime for slowing down to pass batons, so they may lose time. Meanwhile, all men who don't ride horses tonight will be riding in cars if they're making the trip irom bugene to Roseburg. All except those on the "Night- crawler." Some of those may wish they had worn saddles. Or stayed home. So we hear tell. A miniature "big top" will come to town in the form of Wentwortn Bros. Wild Animal Circus. It will be displayed at the corner of Jack son and Washington Aug. 3 6. Owner Del Wentworth first built the circus in 1A39 as a Christ mas gift for his two boys. They and the neighborhood liked it so much that he decided to enlarge it. Fi nally he went on the road just like the big circuses do. Mrs. Went worth goes on the road with him in a specially designed trailer that affords not only living quarters but space to show the circus. She also makes all the tents and costumes for the different "little people." The circus is complete with tiny generators for power, a dining tent for the performers, the midway with its flaming attractions and a popcorn vendor. There are also the living acrobats, clowns, a gaily dressed band, and a "bag guy" otherwise known as the balloon man. Jo-Jo the fire-eater, the sword swallower, the fat lady, the elephants and all the rest of the wild animals add to the compel ling pull of the circus. Free tickets may be obtained at the following Roseburg businesses: Lester's Toy and Hobby Shop, Mabel Lewis, West Bros. Jewel ers, Horn's Aopliance, Montgom ery Ward, Firestone, Roseburg Jewelers.

No com ment would be made on how other employes of the store might be affected, but the matter was be ing discussed today. Several other union business employes turned back from the picket lines today, interrupting some deliveries ana otner serv ices. Coot Strik Continuts Smith, meanwhile, reported that a similar .strike in the Coos Bay area (Myrtle Point, Coquille, North Bend and Coos Bay was continu ing, but that independents were not now struck. He said only Safeway stores were Involved in current picketing there. The exact number of employes involved in the strike at the Suth ciiin and Roseburg stores was not learned, but an estimated 10 struck at Roseburg. Stores involved in negotiations besides Safeway before the strike were: Veddrrs and Kusler's mark ets at Myrtle Creek, llenninger's Marl No. 2, Nielsen's Market, City Drive In, Roseburg Meat Co. in Roseburg. Data For Outlet Dam Turned In Tentative data for a regulating dam on Siltcoos Lake outlet have been filed with the office of the state engineer, calling for a struc dire to hold water at eight feet above sea level. The Port Umpqua Courier re ports tne outlined proposal calls for a structure 130 feet wide with a spillway and a 5 by 5-foot regulat ing gate and fish ladders. It would be made of sheet steel piling set in an arc. The effect would be to hold the water in Siltcoos Lake at a level of eight feet. The summer low level is three feet and the winter high is 14 feet, according to Asst. State Engineer C. L. Wheeler. The storage provided in conjunction with Woahink and Tahkenitch lakes would be 21,000 acre feet or about 7,000 million gallons, Wheel er said. Long Bell's water right applica tion calls for 22 cubic second feet from the three lakes. Menasha Plywood Corp. also has a filing for water rights on Tahkenitch alone. It calls for 46.42 feet. The two ap plications are entirely separate. The Courier reports that Long Bell President J. D. Leland said his company's program would sta bilize lake levels at a mean point nd that even at a maximum pumping during the dry season would not affect this level more than four inches at any one time. Car Crash Near Clendale Sends 4 To Hospital (Continued from Page One) YOUR BODY ROSEBURG, OREGON Then health articles are written and paid for by Dr. B. A. SMITH, Chiropractic and Naturopathic ' Physician, 1300 Garden Valley Road, In the interest of public health and to help you understand the body function. Look for these informative articles every Saturday. Malnutrition is not confined ex clusively to underweight. While underweight individuals are usual ly malnourished, not all malnou rished people are underweight. One so very frequently sees ner. sons who, although they are up to or even may exceed the correct weigni lor tneir height, yet are low in vitality ami in poor health. They have usually been fed, cither through necessity or preference, on a diet which supplied plenty of calories but was lacking in tissue building and regulating materials. That such persons are malnour ished a evident in a number of ways, even though there may have been satisfactory weight fains and sufficient fat lo make them look well nourished to a sup erficial observer. The weight in crease is due cJiictly to fat de posits and also somewhat to wat er retention in the tissues, rather than to the building of muscle, organ tissues and bones. Their color is usually poor, their flesh flabby, and their bones and teeth of poor quality. Such individuals arc ollcn anemic, listless, tire quickly, take infectious diseases readily, and, when seriously ill, are more apt to succumb than those who have better nourished tisj-ues and greater vitality. These individuals must be counted among the malnourished as well as those who are underweight. One class may be classed as hav- P : Mi ing been underfed, while the others have been improperly fed. Malnutrition may be described as a state in which either the food intake is inadequate in some respect to meet the body needs, or in which physiological conditions arc such that the body is unable to utilise sufficient food materials to provide for its proper growth, maintenance and repair. Malnutrition may he brought about in many different ways. The food may be inadequate either as lo quantity or quality; or the food supply may be sufficient, but di gestion and absnrbtion be so poor thai the food materials are not taken into the bloodstream lo nour ish the body tissues. Living habits or environment, which react upon the individual so as to bring about poor appetite, aversion to parti cular foods or refusal to take food, poor digestion, overfatigue, etc., are naturally unfavorable to nu trition. No doubt the refining and pro cessing of our foods today with the subsequent devitaliung' result is the must important factor to be considered in our present day mal nutrition problems. Nearly all o( our canned and processes foods consumed are sadly lacking in Ihe vitamins, minerals and enryms, the vital elements so badly need ed by our bodies to maintain its normal functioning. Pd.
