I, Stoph.ns Rosoburf Roseburg Public Library closed last week, residents were paying .8 mills each year for its support. Reedsport residents take issue to the discontinuance of the levy. In a newspaper story in this week's Keedsport fort umpqua laurier, one Roseburg official was quoted as saying the city had given its book collection to the county in lieu ol taxation. Roseburg Mayor Ernest M. Bar ker Jr. and City Manager George Farretl took quick exception to the statement which they say Isn't true. They say the city gave as a gift books insured for $35,000 to the county, plus some equipment, to help improve the service. Thursday, Mayor Barker said he felt that when the county took on the responsibility ol a county li brary, it should give adequate and equal service to "all areas of the county" and also assume tht fi nancial responsibilities. City Manger Farrell pointed out the Roseburg residents still pay county taxes like residents in other areas. Both he and Barker objected strenuously to "any impli cation Roseburg has made an un der the table deal with the coun ty." They added that "we have no agreement with the Douglas County Library Board." They contend that if Roseburg lcives a special library tax in ad dition to county taxes, residents will be paying twice for the same service. Farrell ndted that the counsil had no "alternative but to discon tinue the .8 mill levy voted for op eration and maintenance of the Roseburg Public Library when it ceased to exist." A continuation of the levy would have been illegal, he said. Meanwhile, the county court took this stand late Thursday: It recognized the problem, and noted it came about because of commitments made by the county library board without knowledge of tne court. If the board made statements that the librarians' salaries would be paid by the county, the board should follow through, according to the court. The court members said their feelings were not a slap at the board, which they commended "for good, hard and enthusiastic work," but at making committ ments without earlier approval. Court members call the entire matter a "misunderstanding." State law gives the county board right to make committments, ac cording to Chairman Gordon Carl son of Roseburg. He pointed out the court exercises control over the library budget, but not com mittments. He said If the salary sum was restored, the original plans would be followed, if not, the county board will determine the next step. Mrs. Merle Doering Hired At Roberts Creek , The Roborti Creek school board has hired Mrs. Merle Docrlng, for mer teacner in tne uiuard district, as teacher at the Roberta Creek School next year. She is a resident oi me Kooerts ureex area. Her classes will consist of about a dozen pupils grades one through seven. Another new face in the district will be that of Mrs. Ruth Hadwin, who defeated Chairman Julian Hat field for a spot on the school board. Her victory was by four votes, 19 to 15. Annrovcd in the election was SI.- 295 to balance the budget. The amount is outside the amount al lowed by the rural school district.

OR 2-3202 or OR 2-1096 fixed a deadline of June 23. 1956. for completing tne exchange. The trade involves 241,188 acres of National Forest Service lands and 242,734 acres of revested O i C lands. In Douglas County, the Forest Service traded 41,908 acres with the BLM, and the BLM ex. changed 41,660 acres. In the past, the lands exchanged nave formed a checkerboard pat tern with the Forest Service ad ministering the even-numbered sec tions and the BLM. the odd. The Cordon-Ellsworth bill directed the exchange so that land administer ed by the Foro3t Service could he consolidated by blocks in certain areas, and those administered by the BLM consolidated in other ar eas. Secretaries Benson and Scaton both pointed out advantages of the consolidation. It will permit econ- onomles in management, simpifly the administration of timber sales and reduce the present public con fusion over differing procedures which the two federal agencies find necessary under previous law. The lands were intermingled be cause the federal government m 1866 granted to the Oregon and California Railroad the odd 'soC' tions of land within a certain dis tance of the railroad line. When the railroad did not comply with the stipulations, of the. grant, the land was revosted and given to' the BLM to administer. The even sections, meantime, had been in cluded in the national forests. Umpqua Forest Supervisor Von dis Miller reported today that the two agencies in Douglas County had spent over a sear in making exchange agreements in the coun ty. He said now that the bill is of ficially approved, forest boundar ies will be changed sometime la ter. He said some forest service areas will be drawn back as much as 10 miles. He anticipates the new boundaries will be set some time this summeri The law reauired that the re vested lands and national forest lands be exchanged in approxi mately equal aggregate value and areas approximately equal unless otherwise agreed by the county courts. Both agencies must also recognize outstanding contracts, permits and all valid existing rights on lands they acquire through the exchange. All Improve ments will go with the land. Both agencies, however, will be permit ted to continue use of facilities as long as needed. Howard Acclaimed For Performance In Musical Play By LAURA OLSON Staff Writer, News-Review The ending of "Carousel" the musical play in which a carnival barker atones for his eerily sins in a return one-day visit to earth has seemed always a bit hasty. But, it was the only weak point in the rousing and well-enacted presentation of the Rodfcers and Hamerstein musical in Roseburg Thursday evening. "Carousel" opened the third, annual Kiwania summer theater series which stars the University of Oregon players The casting was uniformly strong. From dynamic Gordon Howard's portrayal of barker Bil ly Bigelow to the unspeaking but light of - foot dancers, the ac tors and actresses were believable, The musical adaptation of "Lil- lom is more than the usual song, dance and talk production. Since it opened in New York's Majestic Theatre on April 19, 1945, the show has Dcen lauaed tor its near oper atic stvle. "Carousel" spins out the story of tne Darner wno wisely lovea June Jordan, but not well. Unsuccessful in a robberv attempt to get money for his wife and unborn child, he commits suicide. Bigelow Is per mitted a one-day return to earth to complete unfinished business. In three scenes, Billy manages to set some matters straight, and give his now grown daughter hope for the future. The play's music Is outstanding. It includes the rollicking "June Is Bustin' Out All Over ,'r "A Real Nice Clambake," "If I Love You" and the moving "You'll Never Walk Alone." , Howard, as Bigelow, is superb in his role. His singing voice shows much training during the past year. It should serve him well this fall when he attacks the Broadway stage. He is a former Tenmile resident. Other outstanding per formances were those of Ann Stearns (Julie), Patricia Taylor (Nettie), Micky Simmons (Carrie Pipperidge, and Ed Ragozzino (Jig ger). "Carousel" was given with out benefit of stage settings, with out loss of impact. A sprightly 10 piece orchestra provided accom paniment. Among the dancers taking part were Roscburg's Geor gia Hemmila and Carrol Peetz. The show, directed by Horace Rob inson, drew some 300 persons. It merited a full house.

Speaking at a dinner of the Pil grims, a British-American friend ship societv. the former U.S. pres ident cautioned that other allianc es of the two English-speaking na tions "arc less effective, in their mutual benefit, if Britain and American should get at cross pur poses." Truman conceded that "like most other nations we are more impelled to unity by common dan ger than by ommon aspirations." But "those who look candidly and honestly at the world about us," be continued, "must see that common danger has rarely been greater, though it has often been more strident and spectacular. There is plenty to pull us soberly and policies." He oid not mention Ruf.-:ia by name, but he left no doubt he was referring to the revamped post Stalin foreign policy trumpeted re cently by the Kremlin. George W.
