First Graders-To-Be, Mothers To Visit School An Introductory visit to Rose School has been planned for pro spective first graders and their mothers at the school Tuesday. The event starts at 1:30 p.m. in the Rose Elementary Building. A visit to first grade classrooms, to introduce the children to school, will start the program. Later the visitors will hear from the school health nurse. Refreshments will conclude the activities. The tea is sponsored by the Rose PTA, according to Mrs. Cliff Bry den. Various kegleri exhibit mixed emotions, as the season draws into the wind-up stage. Some are hap py to "get away from the grind," but will be every bit as happy when the season starts next Sept ember. And especially if it starts in a brand new modern pin palace. Others, like your scribe, could be happy if the leagues run 12 months a year. Several league championships were wrapped up last week, and by Tuesday night all will be de cided, except the two Classics. ThlnRs went that away: Barcus Dodgers took both halves in the City, The Hardtoppers did like wise in the Commercial, and Myr tle Dairy in the Metrooolltan. Hult Lumber Co. and Harris numbing will roll it off tonight, while UmoniiA Chief Flour a n A Blake's Moose tangle horns Tues day night. Also on the agenda Tues day night will be the scrap be tween the perennial winners, Rose burg Book Store and Elks. This one should prove a thriller, since it pita the winner of a rolled-off tie to see who would meet the book sellers. Second half resulted in a tie between the Elks and City Drive In Market. In a sudden death roll-off following the match last week, the Elks trompled the marketmen by a skimpy margin. THIS HERE Nichols girl seems to be getting in a rut. She spilled a hefty 642 last week In a mixed doubles league. But that only tied another record she set a few years ago.

Mrs. Pritchard, who has had only one child of her own, estimates she has cared for at least 75 foster children. Living with her now are 17 girls ranging in age from nine to 24. Said the committee: "Her whole life has been de dicated to service and love of helpless humanity." bles isn't a sanctioned league, so Frances Knudtson still holds the of ficial high Roseburg total of 635. Nita's lines were au 200 or over. Pretty fancy! Aside from that. Joan Cornutt furnished the ohs! and ahsl for the ladies' league last week as it closed out its regular schedule. Joan had a beautiful set, with all lines between 187 and 200. Millie Bloom hit "high C" for the final week, an overstuffed 222. With entries closed for the Mcd ford tournament, we find 12 men's teams and six women's have been signed up. Colncldentally, that is me exa numner Meciiora sent to our Timber Capital tournament last November. TIMBER CRASHED at a merry rate last Monday night as the City League saw five 600 sets. Dan Hansen hsd led the league saw five 600 sets. Dan Hansen had led the league for the- money series before with 638. But when John Donovan threatened to snatch the $3 prize (with a 652), Dan came to life and held on bv virtue of a famous 660. Both lads had 246 sin- fles and nothing under 200. Craig hort had a pair of plus 200s for 623, John Anderson the same for 609 and Arlo Jacklin ditto for a 612. Don Nye had a big week. Two 200s plus Monday night, two 191s and a 608 Wednesday, and two over 200 Friday. Other lads with more than one 200 include Bob Smith 245-178-201-624 for the only other 600 series); John Burt a 212 sand wich (what a triplicate that might have been); Ed Wlllits, 205-202 and 204-211; Bob Edwards 204-200; P. Patt 234-200 vnd Stan Cornut 202 210. Wide spares were picked by At Parson, a 8-7-10, and P. Patt the same plus a Christmas tree. Ana ine oaaity ot tne season was a Dutch 200 fashioned by Bob Shroyer. This is the third feat of the kind in the history of the local alleys. Bob concocted the feature while bowling for Roseburg Allev team, in wnicn, inctaematiy, ail members have a 176 average. FAIRHAVEN CLEANERS and Myrtle Dairy were tied for that special "hustle point" prlzo going into the last night. The Cleaners took the 30 bucks by finishing in t hour and 55 minutes, a scant five minutes ahead of the dairy men. This program has been a howling success, and we would like to see it used again next year. (That $30 ain't hay). Pattorson's Bread set a new sea son record for 4 men almost. Their 928 game failed by two sticks, and their 2.567 series by eight logs ot equalling Winston-Dil-lard Firemens' record. But another very diligent outfit. Blake's Moose did hang up a season record in their final splurge as they mowed down 1,148-1,045-1,006 for a h u g e 3,199 total, topping Jovin s Brake Supply, whose 3,186 had looked mighty sale up untu then. A few masters tried for trioli rates with only two-thirds success. Ted Shirtcliff hsd two 173s. Mike Brusseau 133s, Joe Quant 140s, Bob Smith 171s and 194s, Roy Elliott 145s, Dale Fick 129s, Ed Davis lius and jack ilayman 182s.

Sought in the wild Saturday mid night shooting was Tony Tudora che, 60, a handyman came here from Romania 30 years ago.. Detectives found a rifle and am munition in a, room Tudorache oc cupied across the street from t. Dumitru's Romanian Orthodox Church. He vanished after the shooting. A volley of shots scattered a throng of 400 worshipers gathering outside the church for midnight services in celebration of the East ern Orthodox Easter. Tudorache shot at random. The church warden, Vasili Cucuia,' 66, died when a bullet struck him in the chest. The five others who were hit suffered minor injuries. The church's priest, the Very Rev. Florian Caldau, said Tudor ache "has threatened me and very many others of the congregation." Police described Tudorache as a "disgruntled dissenter" and a heavy drinker who had lived in the neighborhood of the church for 20 years. Primary Contests Now At Stag Of Sizzling (Continued From Page One) paign to have their endorsements published." Court Control Said Aim Jackson said the real reason for his decision to run was because "Mr. Ashley made brags about how he was going to control the county court after the first of Jan uary by appointing his succes sor." (Ashley is presently a county commissioner. He and the other member of the court would appoint his successor.) Jackson went on to say: "I still maintain it is not fair for any man to run for another office in the same court when he has two or more years to serve of his present term, and then resign and help name his successor. We have been a long time now operating the court with only two members. Sup pose Mr. Ashley were elected to the judge's position and then he and the new commissioner, who will be elected this year, could not agree on Mr. Ashley's successor. Would we go on another two years with only two men running court?" The word battle between the two men started last Monday when Jackson at an Elkton meeting call ed Ashley to resign his commis sionership and "take his chances with the rest of the candidates." Ashley retorted later in the week that Jackson decided to file after "a small group of Republicans"!

He said he hoped Byrd would meet hii chal lenge in a public discussion. Sewer Unit Cost Target Of Creen Dist. Segment (Continued from Page One) cost is by a 6-mill levy on the as sessed valuation of property, a monthly sewer service charge of S3 (figure lowered by 50 cents from previous reports), a direct property assessment of 2 cents per square foot and a service connec tion of $75. 5. The committee saya the re port indicates all developed prop erty outside the initially proposed sewer district would be assessed 6 mills on assessed valuation and be charged a service of $1.50 per monlh. It says all undeveloped property outside the Initial sewer district pays 6 mills on assessed valuation. 6. The committee also quotes from the report that "an over whelming majority" of the vote would be necessnry to make con struction possible. Mother, 3 Children, Maid Perish In Fire DEAL, N.J.

OR 3-4298 Remarriage Fitness Up Plan To Ease Church Law Affecting Those Divorced Waits Methodist Action MINNEAPOLIS Iffl A move to relax the Methodist re quirements for marriage of divorced persons was before the church's law-making- General Conference today. A committee on the ministry,! headed by the Rev. James A. Chubb, of Grand Island, Neb., rec ommends that pastors be directed onlv to exercise "soecial care" in determining the fitness of divorc ed persons to marry. Under thS present church disci pline, ministers are instructed not to marry divorced persons whose former spouses are living except in these specific circumstances: 1. When it is "clearly establish ed by competent testimony" that the person was the "innocent per son" in divorce caused by "adul tery or other vicious conditions which through mental or physical cruelty or physical peril invalidat ed the marriage vow." 2. When divorced couples want to be reunited in marriage to each other. Under the present rule, Metho dist pastors would not "solemnize the marriage of a divorced person whose wife or husband is living and unmarried." The present position is defended by a group of delegates who are opposing the committee recom mendations. Both sides are agreed on the following portion of the dis cipline: A minister shall solemnize the marriage of a man and woman only when, in his judgment, they are emotionally, morally and spir itually fitted for such marriage."
