THE RACE IS RUN
. Charles V. Stanton
Well, we've had our fun. The Pony Express versus
Nightcrawler race is history. And what history!
A few days ajro I saw an item about an Italian rail
road electric locomotive that took off by itself, stranding
the engineer. He grabbed a bicycle and started in pursuit.
He was unable to catch the runaway train but finally col
lected his wits and phoned ahead to have the power turned
off.
He would have had little trouble overtaking the Night
crawler. It has been interesting to observe the widespread
interest aroused by what The Oregonian termed a "wag
gish" stunt.
The American people have a great sense of humor. Our
newspapers are filled daily with serious and solemn news.
We have much to keep us worried. When something
light and humorous comes to our attention, it attracts more
of our interest than does an event such as the conference of
the leaders of top world powers.
The"-race was given nationwide publicity. It was
miblicized bv radio and television. It is being given picture
coverage by newspapers and magazine. xewsreeis win
carry the excitement into the country's theaters.
The publicity received by Southwestern Oregon couldn't
have been purchased for millions of dollars.
Editors Havt Holiday
Incidentally, the event has furnished a holiday for
editors around the state. Nearly all newspapers have had
some sort of comment.
The editor of the Register-Guard, Lugene, wasn t able
to figure out why the Nightcrawler should carry 20 pas
sengers northbound and only 18 southbound. He wants to
know what became of the other two passengers.
The answer is easy: they were too disgusted with the
service to return on the train.
Editor Charles A. Sprague, writing in the Oregon
Statesman, Salem, suggests that if we're losing two people
daily in this section of the state we'd better get rid of the
Nightcrawler but fast.
But another Salem editor, George Putnam, writing in
the Capital Journal, takes a very dim view of the whole pro
ceeding. His sense of humor must have been on vacation.
He describes the race as "a rather childish exhibition
of spleen and offended pride." He also comments that there
are not enough horses in Southern Oregon to compete-for
the whole distance from Eugene to Ashland, and that the 75
miles between Eugene and Roseburg was picked to miss
"the steep mountain grades and many tunnels between
Roseburg and Ashland."

Teen-Agers Encounter
Sports Barrier At Forks
ROSEBURG Some juveniles
of Roseburg had quite a stirring
time last weekend lor tne worst,
A group of about eleven teen
agers at the Forks planned on a
ouiet afternoon of water skiing.
But when they arrived at the beach
on the north side of the Umpqua
River, they found numerous "No
Trespassing" signs. The signs had
n't been there in the weeks before.
When a few of the teen-agers sa
on the beach the land owner and
some of his friends started a fight,
One of the teen-age boys had his
hand broken.
Is this the way the people of
Roseburg want to cope with tha
juvenile delinquency problem? ,
The Forks was the last place
that people could go water skiing
or boating. The area above Win
chester Dam has been ciosea to
the public for many years. Can't
something be done aoout mis am
tude!

Many Misconceptions
George certainly hasn't been attending many of South
ern Oregon's rodeo's or he would change his mind about the
number of horses. Furthermore, he doesn't know his
Southern Oregon terrain too well, despite the fact he
used to live at Jledford. The race south from Roseburg to
Ashland would have given the ponies a great advantage.
Furthermore, if it hadn't been for the fact that most of
Southern Oregon's riding groups were booked for appear
ances at the Rogue River Rodeo at Med ford Sunday, the
ponies would have raced all the way from Eugene to Ash
land.
There is considerable misconception concerning the
race. Too many people believe we want the Nightcrawler
continued in service.
We certainly have no desire or need for such a train
Rut it would seem that a section growing as rapidly as is
Southern Oregon, an area in which the Friendly Southern
Fucific is reaping huge profits in freight business, is en
tilled to better transportation facilities than a night train
travelling at an average speed of less than 25 miles an hour.
There might be some reason for discontinuance of a
passenger service had the "Friendly" Southern Pacific made
some sort of an effort to supply the area with modern and
usable type facilities an effort to create rather than
destroy passenger business and then found its operation
to be excessively unprofitable.

So that was out.
It then occurred to us that may
be the Russians had accepted with

spiked that a little later witn a
bulletin to the effect that the "very

When it came, this was it:
"President Eisenhower has ap

It was quite a bit of news at that.
One minor detail in conclusion.
When the teletype first chatter

with a very red face, it blurted out
a correction. The word should have
been UNMANNED, it explained.

Previously, Foster pointed out.
Social Security, retirement and
pensions had no. bearing on un
employment. Beginning Wednes
day, they will be considered as
deductible from the benefit
amount. He said the change can
"substantially decrease the week-
I ly benefit amount."
! The manager stressed, though,
that the new SS ruling applies
only when a person is drawing
in his or her own right what is
based on his or her own employ
ment. It would not affect, for ex-
I ample, a woman drawing on her
husband's Social Security.
The retirement change refers to
any payment participated in or
sponsored by an employer.
There are several changes In
the disqualifications set up, Fos
ter said.
A person may be disqualified
from henefits for eight weeks in
three ways: (1) Having been dis
charged from his job for miscon
duct in connection with his work:
(2) for failing to apply or accept
a Jon when directed to do so by
the emplovment service: or (3)
for voluntarily quitting his job
without good cause. In case of dis
charge or failure to apply, the
individual forfeits benefits in the
amount of from four to eight times
the weekly benefit amount, Foster
continued.
Beginning Wednesday, for dis
qualifying separations, the suspen
sion of benefits will not start until
the week after the filing of the
I claim. Similarly, a person filing
for benefits immediately or weeks
! later is always faced with suspension.
Foster said a person quitting one
job today and going to work to
morrow for another employer sub
ject to slate law can requalify.
He must work for the new em
ployer eight weeks and earn in
excess of his weekly benefit
amount each week. This can sat-
for a voluntary quit, discharge or
for any other reason.

Uranium Out-put
Increase Noted
WASHINGTON Ufl The Atomic
Energy Commission has reported
here that domestic uranium pro
duction climbed to "record levels,
in the first six months of 1955.
U gave no figures on domestic
production of uranium and concen
trates, but said the output put the
nation in the position of "one
.of the world's leading uranium pro
ducers." The statement came in
AEC's semiannual report to Con
gress. Much praise was given to "great
ly accelerated exploration activ
ity" by private industry.
"The first large deposit of ore
in a contact-metamorphic geologic
environment," the report contin
ued, "was discovered in Stevens
County, Eastern Washington."
The AEC listed the number of
producing mines in the United
States at about 850 in June com
pared with about 795 a year ago.
The increased production, the
AEC reported, continued to exceed
capacity of operating mills. How
ever, it added, stockpiles of ore
have been located at newly com
pleted mills or at locations where
new mills are under construction
or are planned.
To speed the ore to the mills,
AEC said, 17 ore-buying stations
soon will be in operation.
