2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Frl., Nov. 4, 1960 Jackson Says County Court Unjustly A Hacked On Boats The Douglas County court has been unjustly attacked through dis torted advertisements concerning the enforcement of laws pertaining to boating, County Judge V. T. Jackson asserted today. "There is nothing in the boating laws giving the county court any authority over the regulation of boats," Jackson said. The county court is not permitted to make laws or regulations, except in home rule counties. "We can't even order a speed limit on our county roads," Jackson said. Ov.r $8,000 Advertisements have been pub lished to indicate that revenue re ceived from fees on boats has not been used for the benefit of boat ing, Jackson asserted. "We received roughly a little more than $8,000 from fees on boats covering a two-year period," Jackson said. "The County sheriff, upon whom enforcement regulations are placed by the state law, asked the Budget Committee for an exira man, need ed to help in enforcement work, and also for a boat and equipjnent. The Budget Committee authorized the employment of another deputy. The cost to the county of salary, automobile, equipment and other expenses is somewhere between $8,000 and $10,000. The committee didn't approve the request for a' boat. The county already has two boats. It did, however, authorize the sheriff to spend $500 per year for boat rental, believing that with such money he could hire a boat at any place in the county, rather than dragging one around." Boat Ramps The County Court, working with the County Park Department also has been installing a number of boat ramps throughout the coun ty Jackson said. Recently the Court and Park De partment joined with the City of Hcedsport and the Oregon Game Commission to put in a very fine boat landing at Heedsport, the Boat Club Secretary Says Facts Distorted B. B. Brejcha, secretary of the Umpqua Boat Club, today said County Judge V.T. Jackson's re buttal to the boat club's claims of being shortchanged in the county budget was "distorted." At a meeting Wednesday night Judge Jackson said more than $8,- 000 had been received from the state Marine Board over a two year period from boat license re funds and that the county court had budgeted $500 for boat rentals and had added a. deputy to the sheriff's office to aid in enforce ment of boat laws. Trailer House Law Brejcha said today that the dep uty hired also was given the job of enforcing the new trailer house licensing law," which requires the sheriff's department to check ev ery trailer house in Douglas Coun ty four times a year." He called this "a sizeable job In itself." In answer to Jackson's state ment that the $8,452 had been re ceived for two years, Brejcha says "It seems a man in his position would make some attempt to fam iliarize himself with the state laws." He aid the Marine Board Isn't a year old yet. "How could this be two years' funds?" he ask ed. Separate Payments He explained that the slate had sent the funds in two separate payments "to get part of the mon ey in the hands of the various counties as early this year as pos sible."1 "II wasn't meant that they be buried in the general fund to dwin dle away and never be used for the program for which they were in tended," he continued. Nimu Candidate Turning to the judge's conten tion that the club had not made its requests for money for enforce ment of boating regulations in time, Brejcha said the club had been "stalled off on all attempts to dis cuss this matter with the court." He said when the club was finally directed to organize its recom mendations for the budget hearing, it did so. Then "Judge Jackson passed the whole thing off as being loo late." Brejcha said the boaters don't request that funds be "swiped" from any other source. "We only want the money we gave to ad vance boating in the county." He concluded that the club is now backing Stanford Bucll, Bay Docrner and Lewis Suiter for judge, commissioner and sheriff, respectively, because of the treat ment the club had received. CHURCH HOLDS SERVICE The United Penlacostal Church, which had been closed since much of the membership moved away early in the summer, is now hold ing Saturday evening services with the cv. Joa Olds, pastor of the Grunts Pall United Pentecostal Church In churge. The Saturday night service is being held at 7:30 p.m. Other services will be started later on, reports Mrs, O. B. Fox, correspondent. Lack Of Couplet Bids Explained county Judge reported. The cost to the county was $3,600. A boat ramp also was built at Chris Hest ncs Park, on the Del Rio road be tween Winchester and Garden Val ley, at a cost of between $450 and i $51X1, which, Jackson said, indi cates that considerable attention has been given boating and rec reation. "People should understand that expenditues by the county are de termined by the Budget Commit tee which passes upon requests from various departments, the County Court has little leeway, ex cept in emergency, after the budg et once is adopted. Boat Club Attack "The Umpqua Boat Club, now attacking the County Court, didn't appear before the Budget Commit tee, and did not voice a request until the time of the budget hear ing, too late for any material changes. "I feel that the attacks made upon the court are unfounded and unjust and, while I am in sym pathy with the theory that income from boat fees should go to im prove facilities for boating, al though there is nothing in the law to indicate money should be so used, I feel that we have spent more money than we have re ceived for the benefit of boating. It is my opinion that attacks made in recent advertisements are total ly misleading." By LEROY INMAN " Business News Department Editor Why weren't there any bids sub mitted Tuesday for construction of north and south approaches to the Pine Street Couplet at the bid open ing by the State Highway Depart ment in Portland? This question was put to several persons and a variety of answers were received. Size, Fear Reasons The reasons seem to boil down to the point that the job was too small for most large contractors to bother with, and the little con tractors were' scared of the job, for fear of "losing their shirts." Lookingglass 4-Hers Name Bcell President Steve Buell was elected presi dent of the Lookingglass 4 H live stock club recently, according to the club's news reporter, John Hal ford. Bruce Ellis was elected vice president, Marilyn Grass was elect ed secretary-treasurer and John Halford was elected news reporter. Other officers elected at the meeting were: R. D. Buell as song leader and Rory Scott as game leader. Ivan Swift and Beu lah Bud are club leaders. The 4-Hers spent the rest of the evening meeting and filling out necessary forms for the club. Berry Davitte 'Bogus Oath' Held Totally Erroneous Efforts are being made today to ascertain the identity of individu als or organizations reported to be circulating copies of the 'Bogus Oath," Kay Martin, state deputy of the Knights of Columbus, re ported. The "hate literature is totally untrue, malicious and libelous," Martin said. The circular purports to be an oath taken by members of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization. It has been quite widely circulated in some other parts of the country, but had not previously appeared in Roscburg, Martin said, so efforts had not been made to refute it locally. It is completely false, he said, and constitutes libel. Appropriate action is planned, he reported, if the source of the ma terial can be learned. In the meantime he says he is contacting school authorities, inas much as the literature reportedly gained circulation in the Roseburg schools. Graveside funeral services will be held Monday for Berry Davitte, 61. at the Veteran's Administration Cemetery at 1 p.m., the Rev. Na- thanaial c. Wallin, hospital Chap lin officiating. He died Tuesday at the Veteran's Administration hos pital. He was born In Mount Rock, C.a., Feb. 14; 1899. He served in the United Sates Army in World War I. Ganz Mortuary, Myrtle Creek, is in charge of arrangements. Mrs. Reuben Johnson Mrs. Reuben (lone) Johnson, 60, well-known resident of Roseburg, died Thursday at a local hospital following a prolonged illness. She was born at Cedar Home, Wash., on Feb. 7, 1900 and was married at Kingsburg, Calif., on Feb. 14, 1918 to Reuben J. Johnson. She had made her home at Kingsburg for 35 years before coming to Rose burg in 1944. She and her husband owned and operated the Swedish Dining Room on NE Stephens St. Mrs. Johnson was a member of the First Methodist Church of Rose burg. Surviving besides her husband, are a son, Wesley Richard John son, Roseburg, and a sister, Mrs. Betty Olson, Rockport, Wash. Funeral services will be held In the Chapel of Long & Orr Mortu ary, Saturday at 11 a.m., with the Kev, H. James Jenkins of the First Methodist Church officiating. Fol- lowing services hero the body will be taken to Kingsburg, Calif., for concluding services and Interment there. What appeared on the surface to be a comparatively simple job in constructing the approaches turn ed out to be not quite so simple. The job involved a total of 39 separate items. Most smaller con tractors are no: set up to do all of these o they have to subcon tract. This cuts down on their share of the job, on which they can gamble in submitting a bid, it was learned. The amount of concrete In old building foundations that has to be removed in the north portion was a big item, according to one con tractor who had taken out plans for study. 'Specialised' Rlpout The job involved tearing out por tions of the former Specialized Parts building of Si Dillard, a block building, but reinforced and on a concrete slab. It was difficult to determine how thick is some of the concrete that would have to be removed in grading a road bed. - . It has been learned that at least one contractor expects to submit a bid at the new bid opening when the highway department meets again Dec. 13. Result Surprising to Frank Morgan, district engineer at Roseburg said he was surprised that there were not several bids submitted, possibly at figures high er than the estimates. He said that while a. preliminary estimate of $225,000 was mentioned, the highway department does not make public the actual amount it will consider as a reasonable bid, and that it has some leeway above its engineer's estimate on any pro ject. Same 'Specs' He stated that while he has not been in contact with the Portland office he could see no reason why the plans and specifications should be changed for the next bid call and expressed the opinion that bids will be submitted at the next bid opening session. It is not expected that the delay in letting a contract will materially affect completion of the job, un less there are still no bids next time. Not too much work could be done during the winter months. The job had called for 80 working days. January through March are usually discounted as work periods for this type of work. It is probable that not too much of the work could be started before spring, anyhow. Meeting Time Changed The Wilbur-Winchester PTA will meet Monday at the, Winchester Gym at 7 p.m. instead of the usual 7:30 meeting time, because of the Community Concert scheduled for the same evening. Alva Laws, director for audio visual aids for district four, will speak on their use in classroom teaching. The yearly PTA budget will be discussed and Voted on dur ing the business meeting, accord ing to Mavil Bintliff, correspond ent. Cuban Prediction Of U. S.

Training Exercise Koa I statement came a lew hours before defense maneuvers today at Guantanamo a regular monthly training exercise that took on added significance from Washington's fears that Castro himself might try to stage an in. cident at the base and try to pin the blame on the Americans. Air raid sirens were to set in motion the entire defense machin ery of the strategic base in east' ern Cuba. About 3,000 men and attack bombers and interceptor planes are taking part. , Invasion Jitters Castro and the government-con. trolled Cuban press and radio have been whipping up invasion jitters among the Cubans for weeks. Americans in Havana believe the aim is to divert the people from the country's growing eco nomic troubles, the growing short ages, increased unemployment, wage cuts and higher taxes. Cas. tro presumably will claim the United States was afraid to in vade because of the Cuban mili tary preparations, the internation al furor the Castro regime has kicked up, and fear of Soviet in tervention. Anti-Castro activity continued in Cuba. Three armed insurgents were reported captured by milita men. Michael Stryker Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Stryker have received word of the death of their son, Michael Stryker, according to,, Beverly Christian, News-Review correspondent.

They were traveling in company with another car and it is reported he apparently dozed off and their car went over a rocky embank ment. Stryker is well-known here, hav ing attended and graduated from the Roseburg Schools.
