6 The Kwi-Review, Roieburg,
Business
.By LEROY
BUSINESS PROPERTY in Rose
burg has been changing hands so
rapidly recently it's a bit difficult
to keep up with it. Many of the
changes are attributable directly
or indirectly to the Aug. 7 explo
sion. Three sales highlight this week's
activity. Trowbridge Electric has
purchased the blast-damaged for
mer Lockwood Motors building
from a group of local investor.
Contract has been let for its re
construction. Trowbridge bought
from the same group and resold
to Hans Hansen the property oc
cupied by the former Wcid Cum
filing's Mobile service station. The
station will be rebuilt.
Sale of the Creason Hotel build
ing at the NE Jackson St. triangle
hy Douglas l-ounty uiatc uans
oives the new owner J. F. (Si)
Dillard, additional property in Uiat
area. He had previously purchased
from the bank the building to '.lie
north to house Specialized Parts
blasted out of its former SE Steph
ens St. location. He plans no im
mediate changes 'or th? Creason
and does not plan to reopen the
hotel, which was closed earlier in
the spring. Pearson's Market and
Nielsen's Saw Co. occupy the main
floor.
The U.S. National Bank has add
ed property to its site for a new
bank building on the lormer wiy
Hall properly by purchase of the
house and lot at 632 SE Kane St.
This will provide entrances or ex
its off Main, Kane ana uuk streets.
Earlier Hansen sold the old

ing on the railroad to Jack Math.
is. who has repaired part of the
building for Bashford's Feed &
Seed Store. Hansen purchased the
burned out shell oi the yuallly
Furnishers building, south of Han
sen Motor Co.. from Dr. and Mrs.
J. M. Boyle for a body and paint
shop.
These are the principal transac
tions in tne city, mere nave been
others. Many bsuinesses in rented
buildings have been forced to relo
cate because of blast damage. A
former resident might have diffi
culty finding familiar haunts.
THINGS WERE DIFFERENT
hack in 1923. Perhaps the aims of
the Chamber of Commerce were
the same: Promoting a bigger and
better Koscburg. But then the city's
population was 6,000 wi'h another
1.000 persons living in the environs.
Today it is 13.000 and about 23,
000, respectively.
Roseburg's elevation at 487 feet
above sea level remains the same,
but highway improvements mako
it only 186 miles from Portland in
stead of 200. and some distance
has been cut from the 572 miles to
San Francisco. It's slill about 83
miles via Highway 42 to the Pa
c-ific Ocean and 51 mi'oj airline.
Wind velocity remains little chang
ed at around 3.2 miles per nour av
erage and rainfall average in 1923
was about the same as now at 33.54.
There's one big change Rose
burg is no longer a division point
on the main line of the Southern
Pacific. Although a great deal of
freight, principally lumber, is ship
ped out of this area, the main line
goes over the Willamette Pass to
Klamath Falls. Another change,
the payroll around Rosehurg has
climbed from about $2,500,000 in
1923 to $30,000,000 estimate.
We use the 1923 figures as a
comparison because they were con
tained on a window sticker put
out by the Chamber of Commerce
in that year. On one side of the
sticker is the face of an Indian
Chief and the words "Umpqua (I
am satisfied) Valley." Statistics
are printed on the back. The stick
er was printed with the compli
ments of Economy Grocery, then
operated at 344 W Jackson St. by
O. L. Johnson.
EINO HEMMILA, a staunch
worker with the Central Douglas
United Fund, urges all persons
connected with the fund to get on
the ball and make their necessary
contacts. He asks the cooperation
of the people solicited to make
their contributions quickly.
"We want to get this thing over
with as soon as possibl.", said
Hemmila. "Not only do we want
the money turned in, but the com
mittee wants to finish the tob so l ie
workers can turn their attention to
other pressing matters."
The chest has reached about 67
per cent of its goal.
ARE YOU AN ADMIRER of the
body beautiful? Aro you one wlui
sits back and watches the other
person doing things you would like
to do? Or are you one ut those
doing something about it?
We can't all be a Mr. America
such as Bill Pearl of Sacramento
who won that title several years
ago and has not been beaten in
competition when it comes to an
exhibition of muscular posing and
strength.
Pearl is in Roseburg today help
ing Boyd Brougher, who holds 'he
title of Mr. Oregon, w:th the
"grand re-opening" of his Figure
Fashion studio. They are persunal
friends, both being interested in
body building, and have reached
high personal achievements. I'cart
is a big man, weighing 212 and
with a chest of 54 inches. He's all
muscle. Brougher, much smaller,
nevertheless has a chest of 46 inch

building are referred to as "mus
cle men." Maybe they are in a
sense, but those persons have
learned to achieve una! others
have not, the ability to Hex every
muscle at once, the ability to take
a pose with great muscular ten
sion and hold it for several min
utes like a statue. There is seldom
a question of health. They don't
know the meaning of ill health.
In men. as in women, the bodv
beautiful can to a large extent be
achieved. Did you ever look at a
beautiful woman model and note
how she retains beauty in her ev
ery movement, and every tilt of
tiie head, in the smart manner in
which she walks along then makes
a quick turn, every movement
one of graceful precision?
SOME PEOPLE may have more
natural talent and good looks Uian
others, but to a large degree, the
success of the model is training,
knowing what she is supposed to do
and doing it, holding a pose the
proper length of time, making a
move at the right moment. A model
docs not have to be the most beau
tiful, if she knows how to make the
most of the beauty she has.
Are you one of those persons who
looks at a picture of yourself and
says: "That doesn't look like me.
It's terrible "1 There are two fac
tors. First, you never "see your
self as ithers see you." because
the face you see in the mirror is
a reverse from that in a picture.
Others see you as you arc. You
see yourself only in the mirror or
in pictures.
The other reason is you haven't
learned how, to pose, to put your
best side forward, like the model
or muscle man. We watched a
woman of average good looks pose
for a picture once. The longer the
cameraman took for focus, he
more radiant her face became. She
had learned how to pose and to
hold a pose. A man we know, prom
inent in service organization work
has been photographed so many
times, he always takes a similar
pose, and he can hold it live min
utes if necessary while the photo
grapher zeroes in.
Health cannot be achieved alone
through body building, but it can
help, and supervised training such
as that offered by health clubs,
YMCAs and the like can often be
very beneficial. Try it some time.

For CARE Support
The Douglas County Slate Bank
naa Deen commended ny CARE,
the nonprofit foreign relief agency,

volunteers.
A letter received from Mrs. Mar
guerite Kelly, director of tne North

burg for its support of the CARE
Food Crusade to heln send fond
packages to "neediest and hunsri-
est people overseas."
"In addition to helping CARE in
distributing the Food Crusade ma
terial in the community, the bank
has taken the lead in supporting
the program," the letter stales.
"Through its support, it will help
icco many eniidien and lelugee
families overseas for whom the $1
Food Crusade oarrels will he

ihe Roseburg community
which experienced a tragedy that
won the sympathy of the country
is showing a true humanitarianisiii
and has not forgotten neighbors in
dire distress outside our borders
whose only hope is for outside help.
Their concern expressed in their
response to CARE'S Food Crusade
is a tribute to their true eood-
ncighborliness."

M. A. Ferris Joins
Bowers Insurance
Adjustment Co.
Marion A. (Zeke) Ferris is now
associated with the C. L. Bowers
Co., insurance claims adjusters,
lucated at 202 Carter Building cn
SE Main St.
Ferris comes to Roseburg from
Portland, where he has been em
ployed in the claims department
of the American Insurance Group.
A graduate of the Northwest Col
lego of Law in Portland, he was
employed as a law clerk with An
derson, Franklyn & Landie, prior
to entering claims adjustment
work.
Ferris' wife and four children
plan to remain in Portland until
school is out in the spring. Then
they will move to Roseburg.
Expansion of the business, said
Bowers, has necessitated addition
al secretarial help. Mrs. Byrdie
Webber of Jtoseburg has been em
ployed as a secretary. She was
employed by the General Adjust
ment Bureau which set up offices
in the Elks building to process
claims in the area connected with
the Aug. 7 explosion and fire. .
Bowers came to Roseburg in 1951
from Eugene, where he had been
employed by the E. L. Schmeiding
Co., to set up a claims adjustment
office for that company. With the
exception of one year, he has work
ed continuously in this immediate
area.
On Oct. 1, 1953, he and Mrs.
Bowers purchased the business
from Schmeiding. Since that time,
said Bowers, the business has
grown continuously until it has ne
cessitated doubling his staff. Mrs.
Bowers is continuing as an assist
ant in the office.

Park & Shop
Ticket Use
Is Picking Up
Roseburg's Park & Shop pro
gram, in existence now nearly six
months, is showing signs of pick
ing up, according to cnesier Mor
gan, chairman of the board .ad
ministering the program.
A check of parking lot tickets
validated by participating Rose
burg merchants reveals a larger
number being used in recent
weeks, said Morgan.
The program was started late
last spring for a trial period ex
tending until Dec. 31. Whether or
not the system will be extended be
yond that dale will be up to the
merchants division of the Roseburg
Chamber of Commerce.
Morgan said that a meeting will
be held in December when a de
cision will be made.
Under the system shoppers in
Rosehurg may park at either the
Adair's Parking Lot or Serv-Ur-Self
Parking Lot and have their
parking tickets validated with a
purchase of $2 or more for an
hour of parking. Additional hours
of parking may be validated for
similar purchases in other stores.

uals or teams.
Wheatley has been a resident of
the area about three years. He is
married.

Being Rehabilitate J; Paving Slated
40 Homes Now
Ready, Ofhers
To Be Repaired
Five days of paving, weather per
mitting, are scheduled for the Clo
verdale Homes addition, which is
now being rehabilitated by the Fed
eral Housing Administration.
Howard C. Heydlauff, assistant
director of the FHA's Portland In
suring Oifice, was in town this
week looking over the project,
which is being administered local
ly by Pete Serafin of Roseburg
Realty & Insurance Co.
Heydlauff said that paving is
scheduled for NE Brooklyn Ave.
from NE Morris St. east to NE
Todd St. and north on Todd to NE
Alameda Ave., and the stub ends
of Morris, Hoilis and Todd.
The streets will be paved 26 feet
in width, except for Todd, which
will be 28 feet, to comply with city
planning, he said. This is the street
which eventually is planned for ex
tension to connect with NE Jack
son St. in Roseburg.
New Curbs and Guttars
Curbs and gutters are being in
stalled in the Cloverdale area as
rapidly as they can be put in. and
all the other streets will be paved
as early as possible in the spring.
This winter the graded streets will
be maintained, said Heydlauff.
Plans have been, he said, to com
plete the lower section first for
drainage purposes.
Street paving is only one of sev
eral phases of complete rehabilita
tion of Cloverdale since the FHA
acquired possession of some 140
homes in the 180-home section built
by Roseburg Homes, Inc.
The FHA has already rehabilita
ted 40 of the homes, and many of
these have been sold. Others are
available. Work will proceed soon
on the remaining 100 homes.
Homes Rtnovattd
Rehabilitation work includes in
stallation of new forced air peri
meter oil heat, remodeling the kit
chens and utility rooms to provide
more adequate use. New hot water
tanks have been installed in the
attics to provide additional utility
room space. Other general repairs
and repainting, both inside and
outside, have been made, in addi
tion to building of carports. Some
have storage space in the carports
for garden tools and the like.
Four styles of houses are offered.
These are two and three-bedroom
styles, either with or without fire
places. New sanitary and storm sewers
have been installed for the entire
area, to provide adequate sewer
systems and a hookup with the
North Roseburg Sanitary District's
facilities and storm sewers to take
care of the large amount of drain
age water in the area during pe
riods of heavy rain. A new water
service, supplied by the Oregon
Water Co., has been installed also.
Price "Realistic"
Plans are, said Heydlauff, to ad
equately take care of the people
living in the area. He said a "real
istic price" is being asked for the
property, in line with other prop
erly values. The FHA, he added,
is not interested in making a prof
it, but only to get back the money
it has invested. In fact, he said, the
FHA will probably take an actual
loss, but the agency is anxious to
get the housing development com
pleted and the properly back onto
the taxrolls. Purchases should
represent good investments.
Sales nf rehabilitated property,
so far, have been very favorable,
and indications are that they will
continue good for the remainder of
the property, said Heydlauff.
He said the area has all been
replatled, and when all the prop
erty has been rehabilitated it
should be a credit to the commu
nity. He said he was encouraged
lo see how individuals who own
homes there are taking an inter
est in making their places as nice
as possible in line with the FHA
rehabilitation work.

ANOTHER ROSEBURG HOME will give way to Roseburg's expanding business section. The
U.S. National Bank has just purchased this property at 632 SE Kane St. and will either
have the house moved or torn down to provide a Kane St. entrance to the new building

U.S. National Purchases
More Land For New Bank
The V. S. National Bank of Port
land's Roseburg branch this week
purchased the house and property
at 632 SE Kane St., H. E. Schmecr,
manager of the bank, announced.
The property was owned bv Rus
sell H. Cary and Dr. H. W. Kring.
The house contained three rentals,
one of which was occupied by Mrs.
Nettie Myers for about ten years.
The Rev. Mr. and Mrs. William L.

First Quarter
Payroll Near
All-Time High
Douglas County may have had
fewer industrial employes covered
by unemployment compensation
during the last reporting period,
the first quarter in 1959, compared
with a corresponding period in the
peak year of 1956, but the total pay
rolls for the quarter were almost
as high.
Figures released by the state
show the county had 1.087 report
ing units for the January, Febru
ary and March period, with an av
erage of 13,335 covered employes
and a total payroll of $15,864,230
for the period.
This compares with the peak 1956
of 1032 reporting units, 14.187 em
ployes and a payroll of $16.032, 522.
Comparison with the correspond
ing period in 1954 showed the fig
ures in that year as being 777 re
porting units, $12,589 employes and
a payroll of $12,986,799. There were
772 units in 1955, with 13,580 em
ployes, and a payroll of $14,973,221.
After the peak year of 1956. the
reporting units in 1957 were up to
1,234, the covered employes 13,591
and the payroll $14,469,681. In 1958
the figure was down to 1,108 re
porting units with 12.079 employes
and a payroll of $13,129,274.
Lumber and wood products, the
principal industry, showed a simi

the first quarter of 1959 showing
311 firms reporting having an av
erage covered employment of 7,
292 and payroll of $9,476,849.
For 1954 there were 328 reportin?

Lumber Market
Showing Signs
Of Strength
Slightly better demand from
some parts of the country signaled
a stronger tone to the green iir
market this week, according to
Crow's Lumber Market News
Service of Portland.
Volume placements for inventory
were made by some users of green
fir, dry fir and dry hemlock di-
menions, mostly into the Midwest
and East. Traditionally, these
heavy placements mark the low
point ot the year in prices. While
this type of buying was not as
heavy as in previous years, there
was sufficient volume placed to
siaouize tne slipping price struc
ture, according to Crow's, Buying
has been slow in California and the
Southwest, with no change from a
week ago in these areas.
Douglas fir plywood sheathing
prices remained somewhat con
fused at week's end, Crow's report
ed, due to a S4 price increase an
nounced on Monday by one of the
leading shippers. Not all mills have
been able to sell at the advanced
figure, although most reported an
improvement over the S88 figure of
last week. Sanded mills have
booked enough business at the S64
level to build sizable order files,
and prices appear stronger in this
market.
Pine region prices were mostly
unchanged, Crowls reported, al
though slow trading in low grade
prices.
Umpqua Indian Room,
