A talk with slide pictures of the camps was presented by B. P. Sherman, California youth author ity. Sherman is in Douglas County making a study of the feasibility of establishing such a camp in this area. Circuit Judge Charles S. Wood rich, responsible for bringing Sher man here, introduced the speaker. Judge Woodrich handles Juvenile offenders in the county. He explain ed that the camp is being consider ed here to provide a place to send juvenile offenders who cannot be straightened out while on proba tion, but who, in the opinion of the Judge, should not be committed to a state reform school. Shcrmsn explained that the camps in California are operating successfully. They are established and maintained by the counties, but now are receiving financial aid from the state. The state is pay ing half the cost of keeping the in dividual at tne camp up to wo a month. Sherman said It costs an average of $160 monthly to kecD a youth at the camp, whereas the cost at a state institution runs in . excess of $200 a month.

Elkfon School Burglar Try Is Unsuccessful An unsuccessful attempt to break into a safe in the Elkton High School inner office sometime Thurs day niKht was reported to the Doug' las County snerut a department to day. . School Custodian Ray Hoffman discovered the forced entry into the building about 7 a.m. and re- ported it to rrincipat Leo K. ens man. According to the principal, the small eafe (21 x 17 inches) con tained several hundred dollars. He said the safe door was battered and a combination dial partially pried loose. An attempt had been made to peel tne door. The burglar had taken tools from the school shop to help open the safe, the principal said. Entry into the building was made by breaking a door window and pushing down the bar, Crisman said. Minutes later, the burglar broke through a partition into the office. A lock was Jimmied to make access to the in ner office possible, Crisman con tinued. Sometime during the course of events, a dispenser coin box in the school lavatory was damaged ana the coins removed. Crisman said the box contained less than a dol lar in change. This is the first time In several year that the school's safe has been molested. Crisman said a safe had been bodily removed from the school about five years ago. Later, after it had been cemented down, burglars used a cutting torch to open it. Crippled Child, Nearing Recovery, Circui Guest ' (Continued From Pag One) the repair and correction of body deformities, such as Sally's. Bene ficiaries are small children, such as she, whose parents would have an undue burden on the pocketbook is they were to undertake the pay ing of the hospital and doctor bills. So the Roseburg Shrine Club sponsored Sally In the Crippled Children's hospital in Portland. She was there for many long weeks, spending some 10 months in a cast. She's home with her family now and needs only the occasional trip to Portland for outpatient treat ment. . Saturday and Sunday, at the ma tinees of the circus, she will be the guest of honor of the local Shrincrs. Sally's case, though unusual, isn't a rarity. Larry Knudson, president of the Roseburg Shrine Club, said 12 Douglas County youngsters have been treated for crippling deformi ties In the Portland instutltion in the past two years. Children from throughout the Northwest come to the hospital for treatment. A recent addition to the hospital brought its capacity up to over 100 beds. Many children are required to come to Portland from other parts of the nation because special treatment can be given there, although there are 14 such Shrine hospitals in the United States. Knudson said the circus Is the sole money-raising function of the Shrine Club here. Part of the pro fits are turned over to the hospi tal. Other money is retained by the club, and it's used to transport children to and from the hospital, to hire nurses and other purposes in the casea of especially needy children.

A large procession marched through the city's mala streets shouting anti-Indian slogans, and small groups of students went aruund shouting "death to Nehru."

The Journal said other companies were holding em ergency meetings and quoted one industry leader as saying "this could turn into a real price battle before production cuts back to market demand. Georgia-Pacific officials, meet ing in Olympia, were not avail able for comment. The entire Pacific Northwest lumber industry has been com plaining recently of a slack mar ket. Lumbermen blamed tight credit, which they said was hold ing back housing construction. , A few small lumber mills have closed, and others said they would have to close soon if the market does not improve.

Eisenhower Sett Out To Convince Farmers (Continued from Page One) bultal to some of the things Eisen hower said in a nationwide TV radio campaign address Wednes day night. Although applauding Eisenhow er's expression of "this country's passion for peace." Stevenson was critical of the President's refer ences to "the free nation of Viet Nam" and to Formosa as having been "previously written off." Speaking before a cheering rally In Silver Spring, Md., just outside Washington, he said that in men tioning Viet Nam Eisenhower "left out the fact that half of that nation, more than 10 million peo ple, has been lost to the Commu nists." Furthermore, he said Elsenhow er "must have forgotten that it was President Truman who sent the 7th Fleet to defend Formosa," the Chinese Nationalist island. In a Montana-wide radio speech from Missoula last night, Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, the Democratic vice-presidential nom inee said Vice President Nixon came up with a "whopper" Wed nesday in claiming that the Ei senhower administration's "part nership" policy was the best to accomplish development of power resources. "The truth Is." said Kefauver. "that not one single kilowatt-hour of electricity hos been produced under the Elsenhower portnership policy." Nixon, speaking In Spokane, Wash., last night accused Kefau ver of "below the belt, low-road tactics." The vice president was aroused by Kcfauvcr's statement two days ago that Eisenhower "has person ally been working just as hard against the little people of this notion as those who surrounded him." Nixon called this Kefauver state ment a "thinly veiled a"mrt to give the Impression thot the Pres ident . . .is deliberately working against a large segment of our population."

I FIRST COME FIRST SERVED ABSOLUTELY NEW CARS PLUS DEMONSTRATORS i V Juvenile Consultant Making Study For Camp (Continued from Page One) operating a youth facility, if one is needed. Among children with whom a county probation program may be concerned are those who are not stable enough to be on probation in their own or foster homes, but need the care that a intermediate facility could give, such as good food, work habits and 24-hour su pervision. According to statistics, Sherman said, most children who have com pleted a camp program and have had adequate community super vision have no further contact with the law. This is Sherman's first out-of-state study on youth detention camps. He started as a probation officer in a juvenile camp in Los Angeles County 'in 1939 and served for five years as deputy probation officer in the county. He then became a parole officer with the California Youth Author ity and has been with that organi zation for the past 12 years as a parole officer, camp superintend ent and consultant on juvenile camps. It Is believed that he is the only consultant on juvenile camps in the United States. m m m mm am m Corner I 1 J I fa Fall Ushered In By Cold Wave By THE ASSOCIATED, PRESS Low temperature records tum bled in the eastern third of the nation Friday.

Army Shows Off New Atomic-Age Fighting Outfit FT. CAMPBELL, Ky. tfl The Army shows off today its new atomic-age fighting outfit, the 101st Airborne Division, brought back into existence from its fam ous days of World War II. It arranged elaborate ceremo nies and demonstrations by its paratroopers and their missile and atomic era weapons to mark for mal reactivation of the Screaming Eagle Division the name com ing from the shoulder patch worn by the 101st. Not only er many of the weap ons and techniques of battle new for the division, but its size and organization differ drastically from the outfit which drifted down into battle in Normandy, in Hol land and at Bastogne. Against the 17,500-man strength of standard infantry divisions, and the 13,000 or 14,000 men of other airborne divisions, the 101st has 11.500 men. Instead of the tradi tional three-regiment core of com bat strength, the 101st is made up of five "combat groups" small er, more flexible, but with heavy firepower and high mobility in the air and on the ground.
