2 The. Nowi-Review, Roteburg, Towns Request Road To Logging Area 0&C Committee To Discuss Smith River Work April 9 Expediting tonstruction of the road, between the Wells Creek (Juard Station and Vincent Creek (iuard Station has been requested of the Bureau of Land Manage ment with economic and transpor tation benefits to Elkton and Scotts burg cited as the reasons. The road would connect Elkton and Scottsburg, both on the Ump qua River, to logging areas on Smith Hiver, where 50 or more residents of the two towns are working at present. The Elkton Post No. 151 of the American Legion made the re quest, in a letter addressed to the district manager, Bureau of Land Management at Coos Bay. A copy was also sent to County Judge V. T. Jackson, chairman of the Ore gon and California Counties Advis ory Board. Judge Jackson said today that (he road was wholly under BLM control, from O&C funds. He added that the matter would be discussed at a joint executive and road com mittee meeting of the Assn. of Ore gon O&C Counties in Portland on April 9. Residents Concerned James II. Connon, commander of the Elkton Legion post, said that "a situation has developed in the Klkton and Scottsburg communities which is causing a great deal of concern to us." The letter urged other groups to support the road building and "help relieve this sit uation in order to keep our resi dents from moving out of the com munities, thus further crippling Uie economy in this area." The lack of the road now pro vides "inadequate accessibility" Church Of Open Bible To Host Missionaries Ttnseburg Church of the Open Bible, 1643 SE Jackson St., has scheduled a missionary meeting with Miss Mabel Nelson and Miss Dorothy Cummings, missionaries to Jamaica, Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Miss Nelson spent four yean In Jamaica.

Mor. 25, 1959 for employes of the various lum ber companies working in the Smith Hiver area and residing in the Elkton and Scottsburg commu nities, claimed the Legion com mander. He said completion of the road would benefit at least 50 persons, who must now travel 70 miles one way to Vincent Creek. The connection of these roads would result in a saving of approx imately 40 miles one way and would facilitate travel for fire pro tection of timbered areas, as well as log hauling possibilities for mills of the communities, the Legion communication states. Fire Destroys Glide Business Fire Tuesday night destroyed Johnny's Tavern and Grill on the North Umpqua Highway about three miles northeast of (Hide. The blaze was discovered 'by Harry Bakken, owner of Mc's Place at Idleyld Park. Bakken was on his way home from a commun ity meeting at Glide when he saw fire near the peak of the roof. Owner of the establishment Is Mrs. Asa DeGroot who lives in one of the eight rental cabins be side the restaurant, Orville Shana felt, deputy sheriff who investi gated the fire, said. Cause of the blaze has not been determined, Shanafelt said. It broke out near an electric sign on the outside of the one story frame building. About 100 neighbors from the Glide area helped put water on the roofs of the cabins nearby. A pumper truck from the Douglas Forest Protective Assn. answered the call but arrived too late to help. Saved from the establishment was a washer, dryer and some personal effects. Mrs. DeGroot closed the restaurant about 10 p.m. and the fire was discovered about 15 minutes later by Bakken who lives beyond that point. Telephone lines near the tavern were severed as a result of the fire. Service to telephones up the Umpqua River beyond the tavern was expected to be restored short ly after noon today, Charles Kin yon, chief switchman for Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co., said. The tavern was still smoldering this morning, Shanafelt added. to CHICAGO electric shaver owners SERVICE CHECK-UP ON YOUR Electric Shaver FRIDAY ONLY COMPlETt LINE OF REPLACEMENT PARTS HEADS POINTS CUTTERS CASES SHAVER CLEANER SHAVER STICK BRUSHES Budget Committee Member Resigns Dave Geddes, Roseburg busi nessman and two-term member of the city's Budget Committee, has resigned his appointive post for reasons of a conflicting work sched ule.

The Rev. Alfred S. Tyson, pastor ot me episcopal inurcn, discussed the role of Christianity through a long line of civilizations. Failures were closely linked to departures from Christianity, he added. Rev. Tyson pointed out that Au thor-Historian Arnold loynoee had traced the rise of 21 separate civ ilizations. He found the reasons for declines were in idolizing mili tary might and state controls and the domination of the machine age. The Episcopal pastor said that the world must now find a solution to political and economic differ ences, but mostly must return to Christianity as a super-structure for all life. Particularly is this true in a democracy such as the United States, he added, for democracy it self is meaningless without Chris tianity and its doctrine of mutual aid and understanding. Bernard Young, newly elected lieutenant governor of the North west District IS Key Club, was in troduced at the session. The Key Club is a Kiwanis-supported high school service organization. Young recently returned from a district meet at Tacoma. The Swiss steak luncheon was prepared by ladies of the Episco pal Church.

Namo SlrtoV- City t Yoncalla Foster Parents Treat Kids As Their Own By GEORGE CASTILLO News-Review Assistant Editor The problems of rearing foster children, even those who have run afoul of the law. differ little from those faced by any parent in rais ing his own children. This was indicated Tuesday night at the first general member ship meeting of the Douglas Coun ty Juvenile Advisory Council this year. The meeting was held in the Presbyterian Church Social room. The thumbnail sketch of life in a foster home was told fluently by a Yoncalla man and wife who know. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Wise have helped raise more than 70 foster children since they took their first one in November 1949. Theirs is the only home in the county which will accept delinquent chil dren. Wise and his wife dispelled often-expressed fears of dangers in- i volved in taking teen-agers who have been sent them by the court. "Some give you more trouble than others," says Wise, "but no Forgery Indictment Dismissed By Judge A grand jury indictment charg ing Walter Lewis Nutt, 19, Myrtle Creek, with forgery has been dis missed by Circuit Court Judge Charles S. Woodrich. Nutt was accused in the '.rue bill indictment of forging a So check Feb. 17. He pleaded innocent to the charge Nov. 19, in circuit court. In dismissing the case. Judge Woodrich stated in a court order, that the signature allegedly forged was the signature of the boy's mother and that he previously had written checks on another bank ac count, signing the name of the mother, to which the mother ac quiesced. Nutt has applied for enlistment in the service, the order states. Women's Night Set At Roseburg Church Westside Christian Church will hold women's night tonight at 7:15 with an evangelistic meeting.

The Wises have three boys, one of them still living at home. Coupl Finds Success The Wises. said they had found that the key to success in working with foster children is to treat them like one's own children. The homespun couple placed easily as much emphasis on the joys of raising their massive "fam ily" as they did on the problems. "There are quite a few grey hairs, but a lot of enjoyment," Wise summed it up. He said he and his wife had some trepidations at first about taking foster children who had been in trouble with the law, but they soon found it can be ex tremely rewarding. He claimed that "most people don't have confidence in them selves being able to handle 14 or 15-tear-olds." The natural qualities of a happy home were reflected in both the report and the testimonv of one former foster son, Harl Clark, who is now in the service. He is home on furlough. The relations among the two par ents and foster son were undistin guishable from a natural relation ship. School Work Is Problem Wise and his wife indicated that hatred, withdrawal and emotional upset were not the biggest prob lems to overcome. One of the toughest is catching up on school work which might have been caus ed by any one of the emotional problems. The emotional problems. It was indicated, were solved by the iclose family climate, Christian living and discipline, often lacking in the home from which they came. Preceding the interview of the Wises by Julian Helleck, cnuntv juvenile officer, Charles Wood rich, juvenile court judge, told of the need of foster homes in the county. He said he now has the choice in dispositions of cases of either sending children to state in stitutions or giving them proba tion. At present, only the Wise home is available for delinquent children, and it can handle only a limited number. The child's real home may not be adequate, so he must be institutionalized when a stable, home climate could be his salvation. Judge Woodrich asked that any one interested contact the juvenile office. The program, which drew about 50 people, was launched by a re port from Mrs. Arthur Lamka, chairman of the council, who out lined the work which had been done by the Juvenile Council dur ing the last four months. The program was arranged by Kenneth Knechtel of Wilbur, a member of the council's executive committee. Iff Buildin.g or buying a home? Wt Invito you to consult us FIRST obout tound financing.

(AP)-rolice continued a methodical, painstak ing search for the savage slayer of 9-year-old Candy Rogers Wed nesday and hopclully awaited la boratory tests on undisclosed ar ticles found near the spot where the girl's ravished body was dis covered. Police Chief Clifford N. Payne said he hopes the laboratory tests "will give us something to work on." Officers said the articles were sent to the FBI Laboratory in Washington, D. C. for analysis.
