Mon., Sept. 26, 1960 NEED FOR COOPERATION By Charles V, Stanton ' The publisher of the.-Port Vmpqua Courier, Ear! A. Sykes, says in the current issue of the Keedsport weekly newspaper: "I see no reason why all cities in the county can't be good friends and work for the good of Douglas County." Possibly I am particulary pleased by his statement be cause of prejudice. He was kind enough to ask me to write a guest editorial for his paper and was good enough to use what I wrote. By way of preface he said : I am in favor of promoting hotter rolationi bttwoon Rose burg and . Roodtport. At the second largest city in Dougjat County we should have more communication with and under standing of the largott city in the county and the county teat, Roteburg. ReecUport It big enough to stand on its own two feet. It doesn't have any need to depend on Roteburg. Roteburg, in turn, hae enough trouble trying to solve its own problems with out taking on our problems. Yet I can tee no reason why all cities in the county can't be good friends and work for the good of Douglas County. One sign of maturity and adulthood is being able to work hard on our own problems and then to become leaders in work. Ing on the problems facing the larger aree of government, the . county. How I wish that sentiment could be made to prevail not only in Reedsport but also in Roseburg and elsewhere! Many Prolems Faced Douglas County is facing some big, some tough, prob lems. Thev are nroblems that can't be solved by any one community. If all, however, would work for the good of the county, we would take a tremendous step in finding solutions we need so critically. Mr. Sykes, it seems to me, has put his finger on one nf iha wanlr unnta ii tio found in mil- Dnllcrlflft Pnunt.V so ciety of communities. If we can all be friends, each work ing on his own problems but all working toward the com mon cnnrl. them is no limit to how far we can ao. Wa tiatra wigIa rnawlaialila nvnm'Dall in IuIa voai-a In supressing jealousy between communities. But we have a long way to go. There was a time not too long ago when every community in Douglas County was jealous and suspi cious of every other community and all were jealous and suspicious of Roseburg. That old jealousy still crops out once In a while, hut fortunately we nave men, such as Mr. Sykes, willing to speak out for friendly relations. County Growing Up , The tkeme of my article for the Reedsport newspaper was that Douglas County is in ; its "teenage." It is, I 'declared, In the awkward stage so often encountered by Jthe growing boy who suddenly finds his coordination af fected by his rapid growth. : Or the budding young woman whose emotions are so intense. Douglas County is just growing into industrial maturity, I said. Mr. Sykes tells us that one sign of maturity and adult hood is being able to work on our own pi'oblems and to become leaders in solving the larger problems facing all. That to me seems a bit of philosophy that each of us should apply to himself, as an individual, and, as a group. to the community; then, through the community to the county. We could go on and apply the same theory of in dependence and self-determination to the state and the nation, because the ability to stand stalwart and strong, with reliance in our own sinews, is something American something we've been too prone to neglect. ii an oi. us can ionow ine auvice mr. oyKes nas given us, the advice that we seek solution to our own problems and work cooperatively on the problems faced by all of -us, we are certain to look to the future with determina tion, firmness and outimism.

The police chief's plea: "Save her reputation, and take her oul of her poor e n rfoniiient." In The Day's News (y FRANK JENKINS Screwball question: Is anyone In our Stale of Jeffer son old enough to remember when self-reapers began to take the pUce of the old-fashioned "cradle" which in itself was a great im provement over the plain scythe or sickle? I suppose not. Cyrus McCormick invented Die first reaping ma chine in 1831, which was 129 years ago. That was only 62 yean after the founding of Mission San Diego de Alcala by Father Junipero Serra at San Diego in 1769 and when Father Serra arrived at San Diego and began his job of Mission building it is doubtful if anybody on our American Pacific Coast had even heard of a cradle, not to mention a reaping machine. Grain followed the Spaniards into Alia Califuiuia, but it would be long years before reaping ma chines would arrive to harvest it. Why all this philosophizing about grain and machines to harvest it and when they made their first appearance here in the Land of the Setting Sun? Well ... the reaping machine, which was the progenitor of the self-hinder, which in its turn led by slow steps to the modern com bine that nut only reaps the grain oul actually threshes it and then pours it into trucks that haul it to what we used to call granaries but are now coming to call storage elevators, brought about rcvolu lionary chaqgpi) in the grain business. What I've been leading up to is uiat a machine has lust been in vented and fairly well developed that will probably bring about changes in the harvesting of pulp timoer iinuuuuiivu JACK.- PINL that may be as revolu tionary in the pulp timber business as was the reaping machine in the grain business. It Is known as the Busch Com bine, after its inventor and devel oper, T. N. Busch, of International Paper Company. The first pro totype. afler seven years of de velopment work, made its debut recently before 400 members of the American Society of Foresters in Alexandria, Louisiana. Here is what it did while the visiting foresters watched: Driving up to a nulpwood-size tree, the machine sheared it neatly off at ground level, pulled it tnrougn a aeiimuing device and at the same time sawed it into slicks of cordwood length. Then, catching the sticks in an attached cradle, it tied them together into bundles, each containing a cord, and deposited the bundles on the forest floor. The Combine has a companion device called a loader which picks up the cord-size bun dles and loads them onto especi ally cunt trailer iramet that are later pulled away by trucks. J he fluscn com Dine is still ex perimental, and only the prototype has been built, but its inventor feels that most of the problems have been solved and that all that remains is to build in what he calls reliability. In the South, they have long been treating loblolly as a crop. IU reproduction cycle there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 years. When a stand of it GETS RIPE that is, when the trees get big enough for pulp use they HARVEST it. They then devote the land from which a crop of lob lolly has been taken to the grow ing of another crop of pulpwood. Thir harvesting machine that is. being developed by International Paper Company will CHEAPEN GREATLY the cost of harvesting. Thus it will add materially to the value of the Soutb's great loblolly stands. Here in Southern Oregon and Far Northern California we have huge stand; of jackpine. The jack pine is a kissin' cousin of the loblolly that has been instrumental in bringing approximately half of the pulp and paper industry of the United States to the South. The South is warmer and wetter than our area, so the loblolly grows a croD somewhat faster than our jackpine. Bui. ..as an offset.our Cinderella of the Woods, the jack pine, has a somewhat higher fiber content per cubic foot of wood than the loblolly. Our stands of jackpine are na tive that is to say, they have grown up wild. As a result, this first native stand tends to run more to limbs than the cultivated loblolly of the South. That makes it more costly to harvest. But this new machine takes off the limbs as it harvests , the tree. In addition, it cuts the tree up into cordwood lengths and BINDS THE BUNDLES, much like a modern grain self-binder. We'll watch ils development with VERY great interest. Western Leaders Mapping Counterblow At Khrush' Assault On U.N. Structure By WILLIAM L. RYAN UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (AP) Western leaders are mapping a counterattack intended to beat back Nikita Khrushchev's assault on the structure of the United Nations and to turn his offensive into i defeat for Communist pol icy. The historic ISlh General As sembly, recessing for the week end, resumed debate today un der clouds of crisis and amid speculation the Soviet premier aims to paralyze the world organ ization's peace enforcement ma chinery unless he can get his way. The counterattack may be spearheaded in the assembly by Britain's Prime Minister Harold Macmillan, who arrived Sunday and sees President Eisenhower Tuesday. The British have pro fessed shock at Khrushchev's pro posals to revise the U. N.'s ma chinery. The assembly also will await with eager interest what Prime Minister Nehru of India, a lead ing spokesman for neutralist na rives Sunday. Emphatlt On Africa The battle over U. N. structure was not the only one shaping up. The vigorous diplomatic activity of this weekend reflects tho strug gle over (he future of emerging, independent nations. Africa is the center of the burgeoning conflict. Heavy emphasis, on Africa was underscored by U. S. Secretary of State Christian A. Ilertcr's activ ities. Herter invited a group of African leaders to a Sunday luncheon, giving him i chafice to learn their reaction to Khru schev's bid for their sympathy. Khrushchev proposed Friday that the assembly discuss imme diate independence for all colo nies, trust territories, leased ter ritories and dependencies. Gamal Abdel Nasser, president of the United Arab Republic and a leading spokesman for the Arab and Moslem -world, talked in New York with President Tito of Communist-ruled Yugoslavia, who has pictured himself to the assembly as a spokesman for neutralist out ers of the East and the Western alliance. Cattro Backi "K" Proposals Khrushchev invited Nasser to a Soviet delegation's Glen Cove, got State Department permission to spend the weekend there after having been originally restricted chief of the Soviet U, N. .delega tion.

Castro's regime has just emphasized its support for the Red bloc by recognizing Communist China and North Ko rea. The session opened In an at mosphere of gloom, imposed by Khrushchev's attacks on the struc ture and location of the U, N. Herter characterized that as a "declaration of war" on the U. N. machinery.

(AP) The Polaris missile program has been dealt a damaging blow by the failure of two rockets launched within three hours from a submerged submarine. The pair nf fizzles Thursday may delay the Navy's plan to send tho first combat-ready Po laris submarine to sea within a few weeks. "It was a black day for Polar is," an official commented. Both missiles were launched from the nuclear submarine Patrick Henry as she rode 90 feet beneath the Atlantic, about 30 miles off Cape Canaveral. The first rocket hroke through the surface, but failed to ignite and fell back into the ocean. The second ignited, but went out of control and was destroyed by the range safety officer. A high-level group of Navy and Defense Department officials was a hoard the submarine to observe what the Navy intended as the final submarine launching in ad vance of declaring the Polaris op erational. Among the disappointed guests were Adm. Arleigh Burke, chief nf naval operations; Vice Adm. William F. R shorn Jr., boss of the Polaris program: and James Douglas, assistant secretary of de fense. naborn said later, .'The test program will continue wilh full confidence." . - . - An official said the Patrick Hen ry, which has a record uf three failures in four firings in the last nine days, probably will he held over al Cape Canaveral for addi tional tests. This could prevent the submarine from coing on com-but-ready ready patrol in Decem ber as scheduled. The first Polaris sub, the George Washington, is slated to take the first operational load of 16 missiles on station in late October or earlv November. The official hinted that this too might be positioned unless the trouble is pinpointed soon. The George Washington successfully fired three of four missiles in under water tests here in midsummer.

Reader Opinions Principle Empasixed In O&C Money Issue Big Name, Bur Small Gift To The Editor: Several times in the past few weeks I have heard the rumor that state senatorial candidate Al Flegel's 12V per cent give-away of Douglas County's O&C money was proposed by him at the re quest of or on the advice of the Douglas County Court. If this ru in nr in true, the Dublic is entitled to know. If it is without basis, it should be laid to rest. (Editor's Note The writer of this letter, in my opinion, . should have contacted the coun ty court before implying crit icism of the court. The court's opinion could have been ob tained, by telephone. My own contact with the court resulted in a statement that any slice from the 0 4 C fund will he vigorously opposed; that Mr. Klegel was so informed before offering his compromise, and that the court plans to fight in the legislature against the pro posal to require use of the funds for school purposes by state decree CVS) The editorial in The News-Review Sept. 12 hit the nail squarely on the head. A principle is involved. I believe that a majority of Doug las County citizens agree wilh you that the fight should be made on a basis of principle. I, for one, would rather lose it all than not to defend the principle. Even if we lose, it won't hasten the time when we will lose 100 per cent irstcad of the 12V4 per cent proposed by the candidate. I agree with another -of your premises. Many people like Al Flegel personally. I am among that group. Years ago Al arid 1 bowled together on the same team. (Lund's Radio. For the benefit of thou sands of newcomers Lund had a radio shop where Chuck Ricketls' music store is now. The entire Lund family was killed in a plane accident in Eastern Oregon several years ago). Al was a good team man, and I enjoyed bowling with him. I'd much rather he was on my team than against me, then and now. I believe his stand on the O&C give-away is based on his wish to have harmony on his team. It is easier to give away $500,000 than to have a big hassle in the legis lature. But therein lies the princi ple. . Our legislators are elected to rep resent ALL the people, and not just one party or one political bloc. But on the official 1960 Democratic Ballot Al said: "A proven Demo crat who will put the party first." Well, our forefathers fought the Revolutionary War for a principle: taxation without representation. If the O & C grab goes through IS western Oregon counties will be in the same boat. The Democratic candidate offers a half million dollars to other coun ties in the stale. The Republican candidates, for legislature believe that these counties have this money as a right. May Douglas County voters make themselves fell at election time. It's money in every taxpayer's pocket to put a full Douglas County slate of Republi cans in the state legislature. Glen Wellman 1036 Walnut St. Roseburg, Ore. NEW YORK (AP) A routine report from SVashinglon today on gifts by New York residents to political parties turned up a very big name with a very small con tribution: Gen. David Sarnotf V to the Republicans. Sarnoff, board chairman of the Radio Corp. of America, was list ed alongside individual contribu tors of up to J.2,500. - Sarnoff is chairman of the American Heritage Foundation, which has been conducting a drive to get Americans to vote and to contribute to their political parties. Tn his capacity as chairman, he recently gave $2 to both the Re publicans and Democrats. "I gave them $1 each the year before," Sarnoff said, "but this year I told them I thought they were doing such a good job that I raised it to $2." PRUDENTIAL LIFE INSURANCE HORACE C.

OR 3-7195 Bill Board Control Measure Commended To The Editor: Those who drive the main high ways and look at billboards (in stead of the road ahead) will see a rash of new. signs a big hand dramatically grabbing a purse and beside it, "Your Money." Append ed it the suggestion that you vote against the billboard control meas ure to be on the November ballot. Of course factually the hand should be putting money into the Oregon purse and the by-line read "Vote Yes for No. 15" for road side protection. Because if Oregon voters pass this measure which complied with the National Stand ards for Roadside Protection, the federal government will pay 92Vi per cent of the cost of new sections of the National Interstate Highways instead of only 92 per cent. This saves Oregon taxpayers several hundred thousand dollars. Furthermore, roadside services, which can continue to advertise as at present, within 5 miles of their establishments, will save by not having their signs compete at great expense with irrelevant bill boards and with signs of distant establishments:. If just 4 or 5 per cent more out-of-state tourists are attracted to Oregon because of its uncluttered roadsides and' unspoiled country sides that would put 7 or 8 mil lion dollars more in Oregon's pock etbook every year. Under this wisely drawn meas- lire, no billboards would have to be removed for five years, allowing! lots of time for readjustment of! advertisers. Obviously the money saved on roadside billboards will! go into other kinds of advertising. It is natural that the billboard peo ple should fight any measure that affects any of their signs. See in this connection the article in the March "Readers Digest" entitled "the Great Billboard Scandal of 1960." Oregonians that know what is good for Oregon will all want to vole "Yes" on November 8 for the Billboard Control Measure No. 15.' Thornton T.

Mrs. Neuberger, Democratic candidate for the U. S. Senate, said, "We should use this time for extensive research to deter mine if there is a solution to the problem of passing migratory fish back and forth over high dams." She recalled that her late hus band, Sen. Richard L. Neubcrger asked the U. S. government in 1955 to negotiate an agreement with Canada for joint use of upper Columbia Basin power resources. Mrs. Neuberger said, if elected, she would seek early Senate ap proval of the agreement, expected to be announced Monday in Ot tawa. It was negotiated by the International Joint Commission, which includes U. S. and Canadian representatives. Mrs. Neubcrger, in prepared re marks, said the agreement is tn build 15 million acre feet of water! storage into three dams in Canada and Libby Dam in Montana. The water released from the three Canadian dams, she said, will provide .about 2,400.000 kilo watts of firm power, which will mean 1,200,000 kilowatts for the United States. "With this increase in power supply," she said, "plus Libbv Dam's 344.000 kilowatts, we will have low-cost power to attract new industry in the Pacific Northwest." SWEATERS... DRESSES...
