Camps Described
To Lions Club
Roseburg Lioni Club members
Thursday night were given an in
sight into workings of youth camps
operated In 13 California counties.
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.
Sherman listed several factors
that need to be checked into be

Robert Holmes, Democratic can

Beach audience that a full Demo
cratic slate should be elected and
that state -ballot measure No. 1

which would bar a referendum on

residents "to give away their right

opponent, had voted for the meas

Sen. Richard Ncuberger urged

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.
Pakistan City Paraiyied
By Big Strike Protest
KARACHI HI Normal life In
Pakistan's capital was paralysed
Friday by a general strike pro
testing the killing of Moslems In
religious riots In India.
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."
Public transport was halted and
businesses and shops were closed.
The Hindu-Moslem riots in In
dia arose out of Moslem agitation
against the publication in India of
an American booX, "Religious
Leaders", by Henry and D. 1..
Thomas. Moslems claim it insults
the Prophet Mohammed, founder
of their religion. Nine hv died
in ensuing clashes.

The trade 'reported Georgia
Pacific, one of the largest ply-'
wood producers, listed the $67
price Thursday. 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.

Texas Negroes are entering an era
of persecution.

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."

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.

By THE ASSOCIATED, PRESS
Low temperature records tum
bled in the eastern third of the
nation Friday.
New marks for the date were
written into the books in many
cities. Freezing weather brought
heavy coats out of storage.
Bardley Field, Conn., with 32,
and Providence, R.I., with 34.9,
had the lowest readings ever re
corded so early in the season.
Mt. Washington, N.H., had a
temperature of IS above and an
inch of snow on the last full day
of summer.
The cold snap ruined many
gardens in Maine, and it killed
late maturing tomato and sweet
corn crops near Poughkeepsie,
N.Y.

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.
