Seldom is a city so blessed. Roseburg Lacking Here in Roseburi? we have been very lacking in our l-ecoRnition for a good park. We once had a chance to buy, virtually for a song what then was known as The Grove, that was the area south of Lane Street and west of the Southern Pacific Railroad. At that time it was a beautiful maple glove where the city held its celebrations. The Grove boasted a race track, picnic areas, walks, etc. But Roseburg people felt The Grove would always be available and, too, no one was going to profit from tax- Today the trees have nearly all been cut and the whole area is built up thickly with residences. Then we had a chance to buy Umpqua Park. In those days it was better known as Alexander Park, lhats where we have our fairgrounds today and where we have; a beautiful park maintained by the city. We riidn t buy it then. Since that time we've paid out many times what the park would have cost us earlier. Stewart Park Usable) Recently the city of Roseburg was given back a piece of the federal reservation on which the Veterans Hospital stands. We are developing an outstanding recreational park and have named It for Dr. Karle B. Stewart, who was the leader in getting the hospital for the Roseburg site. The great need for this park already has been shown by the record attendance, even though many facilities are only partly complete. For example, we had fine attend ance for our baseball games, though the diamond was not in good shape. In any event we had good reason to be mightv proud of our Legion Junior team. A park, in my opinion, is a necessary adjunct to any city. Ashland can be exceedingly proud of its Lithia Park. We have a nice picnic ground at Umpqua Park and are building a fine recreational facility at Stewart Park. Douglas County was first in the nation, so far as we have learned, to set up a county park department. We have bought a few parks. We also have parks that have been given as memorials. Many pieces of land throughout the county could, and should, be dedicated to the Park De partments living memorials. Nothing could be finer, in my opinion. As the Ashland editor has indicated, vandalism is a problem. Why people will maliciously damage, destroy or steal property' and equipment set aside for public pleasure Is beyond comprehension. But we have such people un fortunately. In any event, our parks, at Ashland. Roseburg and else where are proving very popular with the public. The day! Is not far distant when we will have many more. ! -Hal NKW YORK lP Thornton Wilder, who has spent much; of his life studying past cultures, doesn't believe a mani should spend much time in his own personal past.

Let's talk about tho stock mark et. It's mora realistic. In particular, let's talk about what happened when the Federal Reserve Board hiked the margin requirement from 50 per cent to 70 per cent. (A. a result of the hike, prices on the rew York htock Exchange faltered Tuesday, hut swung upward again Wednesday morning.) First What's it all about? What does this "margin" busi ness mean? Why was it done? In more generally understand able language, "raising the mar gin" means requiring a larger DOWN PAYMENT on purchased slocks. In this case, it meant rais ing the down payment from 50 per cent of the purchase price to 70 per cent. The purpose was to CHECK SPECULATION. Let's now lak. a sharp look at Thinking It Over By Robert L. Dioffonbaehor, D. D. (Written for NEA Service) Sympathy should bo deeper than an emotional shedding of a lew tears. It ought to be a stimulus of action which would change causes and effects. It ought not to be limited to casual convenience, nor should it be determined by our per sonal satisfaction. Flowers at a funeral may show much less real sympathy lhan would the cutting of the grass around a widow's house. A tele gram of condolence may bo less important than a bit of concrete help lo lift the burdens of the liv ing. We all say that we should like consideration before we die instead of tears after we are gone. Encouragement costs so little and means so much. Appreciation can he given so easily if we are alert. We ought to give vvlial we want lo receive. Encouragement and appreciation are "living sympathy." Navy Blimp Raiumas Flight To North Pola By HUGH MULLIGAN (ASSOCIATED PRESS corres pondent representing tho (in blnod American proti). FT. CHURCHILL, Manitoba (AIM A U. S. Navy blimp re sumed its research flight to the North Pole region Thursday. It look off in a light ground fog and headed for Resolute Bay 500 miles above tho Arctic Circle. High winds and unfavorable weather north of here had kept the blimp moored to its portable mast since arriving Monday from southern Ontario. U. S.

Either in private or public life, the nuisance operates on the gen eral notion that he will beat you by wearing you down. He figures you will have neither the time nor the patience, nor wish to risk the slakes involved in whatever enter prise is at the heart of the matter. Thus, every year, thousands of civil cases are filed by men whose cause is not just but who reason that their opponents cannot or will not undertake (he time and ex pense of a court trial. The result is settlement: a cold dollar recog nition of nuisance value.

Bruce Biossat i 1 1 New Mexico Wants To Annex Western Section Of Texas AUSTIN, Tex. (AP) Texans, still grim after that Alaska busi ness put 'em No. 2, aren't tak ing lightly to the mid-summer madness dreamed up by a New Mexico legislator who wants his stale to annex far west Texas. Texas oughta have eastern New Mexico, declared Gov. Price Dan iel in rpnlv II mall., ....... I part of Texas, you know, j New Mexico Rep. Fred Cole proposed that the eight far west j Texas counties, running generally ; south of the New Mexico state line, secede and join New Mexico to make lhal tata tha tuiA largest behind Alaska (pardon us for mentioning it again, Texas) and Texas. He promised more oil production, more state representa tion, better whisky, more tourists and better fishing, etc. A month ago the Alpine City Commission in west Texas re solver! that hn.aiica ...... .1.1 ! soon become the largest state ine Big Mend area of Texas is rnnsirlArnhlv amhn cea,j V... u 1 ing a part of anything but the UIKm'M. The commission called for crea tion of a 50th state known as Big Bend to be composed of Brewster, Presidio and Jeff Davis counties. But after the Cole proposal, Al pine Mayor W. W. Lockhart said "we don't intend to do anything but stick to Texas and the Ala mo." decline to pay bills, compelling the. creditor to sue or take a cents-on-Ihe-dollar payment lo avoid that trouble. - : Then there are the lawmakers, especially at the state level, who , regularly toss certain ."nuisance" ; bills into (he legislative hopper. These usually are designed to regu-1 late this or that industry or enter-! puse. Suspicion is wide that a "pay-off" kills such bills. It is hard to prove, but occasionally such a case is nailed, down light. : In loo many places and far loo ofien, this business of being a nui sance is practiced with calculated purpose. In ils most usual form, it represents a kind of blackmail by delay. The practitioner seems lo say: "Come across, or I'll steal your time, ana mayoe your mon ey, too." ON THE INTERNATIONAL lev el, Soviet communism has elevated nuisance value lo a science. It is indeed a basic and frequently a critical part of Russian world di plomacy. The good Soviet diplomat is the man who can outsit all oppo sition, torture a subject to death, fray the edges of the sternest op posing resolve. At that level, the causa of peace end justice is continuously cloud ed by (he phony claims, the delays and the scheming tactics of the professional muisanee - diplomats. At the levels close lo home, the air is thickened by false claims for services rendered, phony charges of damages, unpaid bills, and so on through a host of nuisance devices. In the society of free men, (hero will be more justice and more freedom when ways are found if ever they can be to devalue tha nuisance utterly and completely. i i WOOD Summer Rates on Phone OS Peeler Core Oak Green Editorial Comment From The Oregon Press NON-ACADEMICS TRIMMED Coos Bay World Portland public school authori ties have taken a wise step in adopting new regulations which cut back on interference of extra-curricular activities with students' school work. The regulations apply to athletic events, of course, but they also apply to other extra - curricular events, such as parent - sponsored festivities, pep assemblies and what have you. An announcement said the school system wants to, cut down on extra curricular activities, and those that remain after the cutback will be scheduled during non-school hours whenever possible. Publicity attending the new poli cy made it look as if Portland schools were de-emphasising athle tics. This we doubt. But school of-' ficials are placing athletics as well as all other extra-curricular ac tivities in a more healthy perspec tive in relation to the things the schools are really meant to do: to instruct rather than to dispense fun, although learning and fun are not necessarily opposed to each other. A well-rounded extra-curricular schedule 'is necessary for the de velopment of every child. Periods of relaxation are likewise neces-l sary if maximum benefit is to be derived from classroom concentra tion. But in many school systems, Ihe i extra-curricular tail has begun to wag the educational dog. Many parents have had no ob jection, for more and more, Ameri cans are hirning all their respons ibilities in child rearing over to the state, in the form of the schools, i Tnis is even extending to the par-i ental duty of instructing the child in what's right - and - wrong, re ligion, sex, and other fields which the schools are ill-equipped to han- die. j The growth of extra - curricular activities has been a boon to some, therefor, because it has kept the kids out of their hair that much longer. Still, one should repeat that extra-curricular activities almost all of them are in the long run healthy adjuncts to the education process. j Unfortunately, these activities in ! some school systems have become so competitive with one another for a child's attention that academic, work has been cutdown, so that pupils will have more time to de vote to the frothy things of non academic nature. It's difficult to say at what point this situation becomes dangerous It's hard to define whether any particular ratio of real study to play is good or bad. For that reason it's difficult to determine to one's satisfaction whether or not the situation is good or bad in our own schools here in Coos county. One person will have one opinion, another per son will have a different opinion. But Portland school authorises, at least, have decided the situation, was trending badly in the Multno mah county metropolis. They have decided not only to hold the line on extra-curricular stuff, but also to reverse the trend. They deserve praise. OFFSTREET PARKING Salem Oregon Statesman The Citizens' traffic advisory council disagreed with the down town merchants who had asked lor a two-hour limit on parking in the central business section. When an alternative proposal for city established parking facilities the council expressed the opinion that this was a problem for private in duslry rather than the city. The machinery is set up in the law whereby the city may provide offstreet parking, either directly or by providing and leasing facilities lo some operator. The project could be undertaken by the city and paid for either by bonds or by set ting up a local improvement dis trict. The latter machinery would seem lo fil best for the section where the need is most acute, the city core from Commercial to High and Ferry to Chenieketa. Already there are a number of private facilities available, but the need seems to be real in the Com mercial and Liberty street portion. It is to the interest of merchants and for an even longer range of landlords to keep a steady parade of shoppers. If more parking is needed, and it seems to be those primarily concerned should take the initial steps to get such a proj ect launched. REFORESTATION Salom Oregon Statesman Papers print frequent reports of sales of timber from public lands. Less attention is given to news of plantings. For the residents of Ore gon a half century and more henco this is of greater importance than Ihe current cut. That is the way to insure a timber crop decades off. So we note with interest a news release from the bureau of land management which states that the bureau, which administers 0 4 C lands, plans to plant in the present fiscal year 13.S5S.0O0 tree seedlings. It will also plant 6.770 pounds of GOVERNESS SAFE LONDON' m The English gov erness of King Faisal's cousins has returned safely to Britain aft er hiding in Baghdad from the rebels who killed the monarch and members of his household.
