It Didn't Rain After All WATER RESOURCES BUDGET By George Castillo The elements of enthusiasm on one side and efforts to economize on the county budget on the other are being mixed in a potion of some dissension, now that it's budget time. The subject at hand is the budget for the Douglas Coun ty Water Resources Survey office. Pitted on one side are the seven members of the Wa ter Resources Advisory Committee, as thoroughly dedicat ed a citizens group as the county ever had. On the otner side are members of the Douglas County budget commit tee, whose aim 'it is to allow all departments of county government to operate efficiently but not enough to make them fat. Leading up to the present difference of opinion between the advisory committee and the budget committee is the fact that the latter committee lopped the survey office's budget almost in half. The proposed budget was $52,296.25. It was sliced to $28,230. The most outspoken member of the advisory commit tee, Gen. Curtis T. Beecher, calls the court "penny wise and pound foolish." He says the advisory committee be lieves the policy on the part of the budget committee (which includes the three members of the county court) is "short sighted." Members of the budget committee, according to Coun ty Judge V. T. Jackson and Commissioner Huron Clough. feel, however, that the items cut from the budget would in effect be nice but not necessary. Cuts Listed Among the cuts were $5,400 for the salary of an en gineer to assist department head Ben B. Irving, $10,000 in, cooperative projects funds in which the county might be; asked to assist federal or state agencies, $2,250 for addi-i tional stream gauges on Smith River near Reedsport and! the Coquille River in Camas Valley and $fi,000 for drift control and removal. Judge Jackson says the budget committee felt in mak ing the cuts that it was holding the line on the budget so ' it could continue to operate at its present level of activity. But it could not see where it was necessary to expand that activity. (The current year's operating budget is $27, 522.50.) To an extent, this does appear to he i short-sighted view because information about the Umpqua basin's atreamflows, rainfall, needs and possibilities for improve ments of water supplies for future municipal and indus trial uses, flooding, etc. is the most important need at the present moment. Without facts about the basin, no pro grams for control of waters can be formulated. And with the aid of the survey office, all agencies conducting stud ies in the county can be assisted by making these facts available and coordinating efforts of the agencies. It! serves as a central clearing house for facts. Work To Continue The committee also takes a view, Jackson and Clough said, that it. wanted to continue the work of the survey and advisory committee until the reports from current surveys are made. (Surveys are now being made by the Bureau of Land Management. U. S. Army Corps of Kngineers and Soil Conservation Service.) The members tacitly indicat ed that if the reports were unfavorable the activity of the advisory committee and survey office might be discon tinued. I don't feel this is the correct approach because a fail-! lire doesn't mean the end of the battle.- People will con-1 tinue to come to the county and need water. Floods will! continue to ravage the county. Industries will still base' their derisions to set up operations on 'the availability of j water. Information and a mobile group to push for legis-i lntion Is necessary to meet these problems. It is recognizable that in these times of need for au-i store economy, some of the items in the budget may be deferred for another year. And the advisory committee,! I'm certain, will consider this. ' . i The budget has not yet been finally approved, and a final evaluation of the vital nature of the needs will be ex-' plained next I uesday night. I think it is the dutv of every citizen to take part in his future in the county by' attending, the meeting to make his own evaluation. v. , X 11a x i tax r 1 v 4 cur J r Bruce Biossat In The Day's News Premier Charles De Gaulle's pro gram for his troubled countrymen impresses France's friends abroad as one designed nol to undercut free government but to shore it up and equip it to deal with such per ennial problems as Algeria. j -Hal Boyle- "T 1 " - - i ! ! outdoors and point out the NKW YORK (AP)-lt has coma to my attention lately that some men are having trouble with wom enand don't know whv.

I find myself in a community where 1 cannot own a dog. 1 know there are a lot of people here who love dogs and I wonder why we let this condition exist. When we came here seven years ago, we had a cocker spaniel w hich we had owihM It years. Needless lo say, we loved him dearly. He was never a tramp and had lived with us in Portland and Coos Bay before coming here without ever causing anyone any trouble. However, before six months had passed alter moving here, he was shot and killed because he had wandered onto a sheep farmer's properly. A dog that was old and feeble and had lived 11 years with out causing trouble. About eight months ago. we de rided to try again to have a dog. Our three children love dogs and we feel a dog should be a part of every child's life Teaching them kindness and understanding of ani mals. Later our dog crossed a man's properly and lie shot and killed him. I went and got my dog and there were no sheep in the field where he lay. The sheep in the field nearby were grazing like nothing had ever disturbed them. Yet, this man is protected in every way by law. All he has to do is say my dog was bothering sheep, and he certainly wasn't able to find any that had been harmed. This is your sheep law! How about the dog owners? Have they no rights? We spend a lot of time and money on our pets. Would we be free to shoot a sheep that crossed our place? Where are all the people who parked t lie local theater to a e "Old Yeller?" Mrs. Dorothv J. Jones HI. 2. Box 434 Roseburg, Ore. The general may ba unduly op timistic in asking for emergency powers for only six months. The pace of the events incident to his coming to power suggesls that the French simply cannot move fast, no matter how critical the hour. But what is important is that he himself sees an early limit to this extraordinary grant under which he will govern without re course to the National Assembly. Similarly, in requesting action on constitutional reforms, including a national referendum, De Gaulle ad vances principles undeniably dem ocratic in character. HE WANTS ANY new govern ment rooted in full popular voting and in the ideal of governmental responsibility to the elected parli ament. At the same time, however, he wants an effective separation be tween the legislature and the ex ecutive authority, l.ark of that separation, weakness of the execu tive, has heen a prime factor in the intdbiiity that has marked the postwar course of French political history. This much must surely come out of the second De Gaulle phase in France's turbulent years. Anything less could mean only a return, after De Gaulle, to the old sad suc cession of futile governments. The general showed ingenuity and originality in naming a cabinet studded on the one hand with party leaders serving as deputy premiers and career men ably qualified lo dig hard into France's festering difficulties. THE FIRST AND THE supreme test, of course, will be Algeria. The reaction of the insurrectionists there to De Gaulle's cabinet was displeasure and disappointment. It contains too many liberals for their tale. But Da Gaulle will have broad 1 authority to seek reforms in j France's relations with its overseas ! territories. And there is consider j able feeling this may open the door ! to full independence for Algeria and some other areas, on terms reasonably suitable to them. Beyond doubt, if his coming to j power is to have any enduring i significance. Gen. de Gaulle must find a solution to Algeria. If he j were to fail in this, his emergency government would in the end he no ! belter than the 25 governments which preceded him. For it was on lhat rock that the Fourth Ke- public finally foundered. (Continued from Page 1) population and RAPID technolog ical advancement lies ahead of the USA, there's a good three point rule to follow: 1. Work hard whila you work. 2. Plav hard while vou play. 3. SAVE A LITTLE MONEY OCT OF EVERY PAY CHECK. Hmmmmmm. Let's add a fourth point: Don't pay too much attention to the politicians who will be gun ning for your vole with promises of something for nothing. There is NO SUCH THING as something for nothing. Financial note No. 2: Stocks in New York edged high er this ( Thursday ) morning with the leading averages bumping i Iheir highs for 1958. Railroad shares appeared to have crossed i.jnto new high ground with most :of them showing (raclional gains i in response to a senate bill that : would authorize government guar ' antees on private loans to the rail , roads to the extent of 700 million 1 dollars. ! (The roads need the money to buy new and more modern equip menl. Their present earnings are I insufficient to provide for their : needs.) ! The railroads need more than loans. Among other things, thev need I permission to be MORE COMPET I ITIVE. They need permission to ; abandon lines and services that are unprofitable. They aren't al lowed to do these things without i government permission. i Put it to yourself like this: II Suppose you were running a hamburger stand and paying rent and taxes and hiring help and vour business began to run down but GOVERNMENT WOULDN'T LET YOU QUIT. In that event, you'd be in a bad fix. I Well, that's the fix the railroads ' are in. If you think they ought to be allowed to get out of it, it would be a good idea for you to ; write to your congressman and -your senators and tell them so. , Thinking It Over By Robert L. Ditrfenbachar, D. D. (Written for NEA Strvlco) ..... Necktiea do not keep men warm any more than necklaces protect women against the weather. Nei ther of these items is particularly utilitarian, yet most people dress with some adornment which is re lated more to appearance than it ii to an essential function. Some people pride themselves on being entirely "practical" or util itarian. They overlook the fact that these extra details raise morale and keep the thoughts of people above the level of mere necessity. Beauty or an esthetic influence raises the level of human thought and action. Possibly a person can keep in touch with God without going to church or without being active in a religious group. One may find great spiritual satisfaction in feel ing God's presence in nature, but he fails to have the extra life ol fellowship if he does not worship with others. Worship is more satisfying if it includes fellowship with others. We need some spiritual adornment along with spiritual utility. , Princess Margaret's Visit Includes Smaller Towns VICTORIA. B.C.

Premier Bennett, releasing the princess' itinerary Ihis week, said it had been arranged with the "least possible officialdom." to give Margaret a chance to see British Columbia and its people.
