1 The Newi-Revlew, Roseburg, S. African Voters Cut British Ties JOHANNESByRQ, South Africa (AP) A diminishing anli-repub-licin leid indicated today that Sotith African have voted to cut their country looe lrom the Brit ish crown. The forces opposing Nationalist Prime Minister Itendrix Verwo erd's plan to turn the British Com monwealth nation into a republic still clung to a lead of 102.000 votes with 86 of the 156 districts report ed. But many heavily Nationalist rural district were yet to be heard . from. 1 Prof. Arthur Vleksley, running an electrical computer, predicted the margin in favor of a republic would approach 80,000 when all the voles were in from Wednes day's referendum. United party leader Sir De Vil lir nraaff who led the anti-re- publicans, had not yet conceded defeat, however, and Verwoerd bad not yet claimed a victory. Dutch-born Verwoerd has declar ed that he will consider a major it y of only one vote a mandate to submit to the Nationalist-con trolled Parliament legislation to turn South Africa into a republic substituting an elected president for Queen Elizabeth Jl as chief of state ana recognizing ine nnusn sovereign only as head of the commonwealth. Verwoerd says he hopes to keei South Africa in the Commonwcaltl as a republic, as India, Pakistan and Ghana have remained. But this will require the unanimous con sent of the other 10 member gov ernments, and Asian and African members have shown strong signs of wanting to expel bourn Ainca in retaliation for the Nationalist government's apartheid policy of strict racial segregation. In the counting of the referen dum vote, the Nationalists jumped into an early lead. Then the anti- republicans lorgea aneaa oy uj, 000 votes when 61 districts most ly urban were in.

New Group To Urge Better Reading If our drug stores display Plalo and Arislotle along with Mickey Spillane and Ellery Queen, you can probably lhank the Great Books Foundation, says Jim Richardson, Bureau of Land Management for ester in Host-burg. This non profit, adult education organization's sole purpose is to encourage people to read and to discuss great books. In Koseburg, a discussion group will meet in the County Library next Wednesday. It is organized in cooperation with the Great Books Foundation. Raiding Assignments Registration opens Friday at the library for the first-year Great Books groups, according to Rich ardson. Groups will begin meeting Oct. 12, at the library at 7 p.m. This meeting will be primarily an organizational meeting. The regular reading assignments give participants an opportunity to do the reading they nave always planned lo do, and to exchange ideas with fellow citizens at the discussion roundtable. Questions Asked Sessions are not "taught;" the great books are the teachers. Members do the reading at home; then, at discussion sessions, they are asked questions by two co leaders. These persons are volun teers who have been trained in the art of asking questions. Leaders do not supply the answers the participants do. "This ODDortunitv for a free lib eral education is open to all adults in the community," Richardson said. "There is no tuition, and no special educational background is required." Foundation Editions Particinants may supply their own books, Dorrow inem irom a friend or from the library, or pur chase inexpensive papernouno edi tions from the Foundation.

Realty Men Hear Home Loan Talk Ballot measure 113. to be voted on in November, would make avail able for veterans home and farm loans $135 million in the slate of Oregon, District Judge Warren Woodrurf told the Koseburg Kealty Board Wednesday noon. He stated that unless the bill passes, the dwindling amount avail able -for this purpose would drop from SlO't million in 1959 and $4 million in 1960 to only S2'i million in 1961, as the amount available would be limited to payments by veterans on current loans. The judge said it was not his intention to speak for or against the bill but to explain its purpose. The bill proposes to change the existing measure which provides for bonding capacity for veterans loans from 4 per cent of assessed validation to 3 per cent of all cash value of properties in the state.. Measure Won't Cost He went on to state that the measure would not cost the tax payer a cent, as the veterans loan program is self liquidating and ac tually returns a profit to the state above operational costs by the in terest charged. Most of the money for the bonds would come from out of state, re leasing that amount of capital in Oregon for new home construction, remodeling or for veterans pur chases of homes or farms. There currently is a waiting list of 1,300 loan applications on file, and no new applications are being taken, said Judge Woodruff. He quoted figures to show how the state's economy would be af fected through the release of the funds in the stale.

Fire Permits Needed In Roseburg Vicinity Residents of Roseburg and Win ston-Dillard are still required to get permits before they do any burning, officials of the fire de partments said today. Residents are reminded that burning permits are required the year around. This is true, officials even if there is snow on the ground. Burning without a permit costs the taxpayer money, officials said. This point was clearly brought out Wednesday when the Roseburg Rural Fire Department was called to 775 NE Dixon St. where a fire had been reported. When firemen arrived they found everything un der control except that the prop erty owner had failed to get a per mit. Had the person obtained a permit the department would not have had to make the run. The only other fire reported Wed nesday was at 2666 Diamond Lake Blvd. where five small grass fires along the side of the road called out both the city and rural fire departments. Department officials said the series of blazes may have been started from a passing truck. No damage was reported. as you aref SAT., Oct.
