Ormond J. Feldkamp, owner of Umpqua Dairy Co., was recip ient of the award at the Koseburg Chamber of Commerce's annual banquet and the formal taking over of their duties by the new chamber officers. But it was not for his business interests alone that Feldkamp was so honored. Instead it was for his many activities within the commu nitymany of them so obscured that even his close friends didn't realize the extent of his participa tion. Backing For 'Y' More than anything else, accord ing to the master of ceremonies, Paul Geddes, who made the pres entation of the first citizen's plaque, it is the example Feldkamp has set for others. Enumerating only a part of his civic activities, Geddes listed among the most important the work Feldkamp gave in helping or ganize the YMCA in Koseburg and his backing for the "Y" building which is nearing completion and will be dedicated this month. Feldkamp has been a strong worker in the First Christian Church. He has been a director and served on many committees of the Roseburg Chamber of Com merce. He has assisted with almost all the important community-wide fund drives of Roseburg. Scholarship Fund Revealed also was the little known fact Feldkamp has estab lished a scholarship fund helping worthwhile students go to college. Almost overcome by the dis tinguished honor, Feldkamp, in ac cepting the plaque from Geddes, stated: "This is really an honor." Then, after hesitancy, added, "I feel guilty in accepting it, as there are many more entitled to this than I am. But I want to (hank you all for this great honor." Calling him "a product of our .own industry," Geddes reviewed briefly Feldkamps history, from a humble early life spent on a Roseburg -City Council ADorovesAdd The Roseburg City Council Mon day night unanimously adopted a resolution okaying a supplemental budget of nearly S45.O00 requested last month by City Manager John Warburton. The council's action came fol lowing a public hearing, at which there were no protests made to the proposed budget. The budget is made up of unanticipated revenues which were not allocated for ex penditures in the regular budget last spring. Gas, Liquor Of this amount, S9.800 came in state gasoline tax allocations and another S2.800 came in liquor tax allocations. They were the amounts paid above the originally anticipat- 2 New Councilmen Seated At Winston Two new councilmen were in stalled by City Recorder Henry J. hleve at the Winston cny louh-i cil session Monday night, accord-i ing to Phcbe McGuire.

School Series Starts , In News-Review Today The Legislative Interim Commu tes on Education has been in the limelight in Douglas County since it held a hearing last year in which a proposal to use O&C funds as offsets to the state Basic School Support Fund were introduced. This, however, was only a small portion of the areas studied by the committee and will be only one of a host of recommendations to be made to the state Legislature this year. Starting today, Wilma Morrison, consultant to the interim commit tee, starts a six-part series in The News-Review on the findings and recommendations of the commit tee. Today's article is a summary of factors the committee found to be affecting quality of education. In succeeding order. Miss Morrison will deal with findings on ( 1 ) qual ity of instructional program in Ore gon, (2) pupil achievement and special education, (31 school dis trict organization, (4) teacher qual ity, supply and working conditions and (5) school finance. The first of the series can be found on page 8. Police Chase Ends As Auto Hits Tree A speeding automobile crashed into a lice early this morning al Ihe Harvard Ave. exit of Highway Hit, according to Roseburg City Police. The vehicle was being chased by a Winston patrol car.

Attendance was reduced at the university classes, many students having departed for their homes after hearing after midnight news that Vandiver planned to close it and order a holiday the rest of the week.

They also said Ihe budget for Ihe current year will end up in the black. Eisenhower's budget message is to go to the Capilol Monday. The description of it as bal anced and nonpolilical came from Sen. Everett Al. Dirksen of Illi nois and Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Indiana, the Senate and House GOP leaders, after they had con ferred with Eisenhower for more than two hours. They said most of the conversations concerned the budget. Dirksen told newsmen at the While House: "This budget would be the same if Dwight Eisenhower were to continue in office. Dirksen and Halleck declined to give Ihe. budget figures. But they said the budget pro vides for projects that are neces sary for the national well. being yet will "keep our fiscal house in order by living within our rev nues. Dirksen said Eisenhower in his budget message will again stress the necessity of living within rev enues. Halleck, taking note of various "task force" recommendalions to President elect John F. Kennedy, said soma, of these spending rec ommendations could throw the budget completely out of balance. It was the last meeting of the Republican leaders with Eisen hower before he leaves office Jan. 20.

As the conference broke into i """T M1,a11 wo'k groups, a fierce , war of words over medical care of older people hung in the air. The battle started Monday. Heading the opposing forces were (ieorge Meany, president of the AKL-CIO, and a spokesman for the American Medical Associa tion. Meany drew first blood in a speech he had prepared for Mon day night by restating the AFL- CIO s support for a Social Secur ity health insurance plan for the aged and accusing the AMA of spending two years "in negative and hostile criticism" of the plan. Before Meany's speech was de livered and after seeing an ad vance text, the AMA fired back. Dr. ,T. I.afe I.udwig, chairman of the AMA's Council of Medical Service, said: "Some labor lead ers obviously are more interested in saddling the people of this coun try with a system of socialized medicine than they are in help ing those older people who really need help." Ludwig said Meany was "at tempting to undermine (the con ference) to runner ms own parti san interests." When Meany delivered his speech he noted the AMA's charges and said with a smile: "May I appeal to you, ladies and gentlemen, please don't have the conference fail. I'd hate to carry this responsibility." Sutherlin Eyes Dog Leash Law Possibility of a leash law to rid Sutherlin of nuisance dogs at large in Ihe city was discussed at length by the Cily Council niontiay mgni. The council agreed stronger mea sures should be taken to eliminate this nuisance. The cily attorney was instructed to rewrite the exist ing ordinance lo allow for closer control.

The council also granted a class B dispenser's license to Kenneth and Ionise Longton, new owners of the Town Cafe and Lighthouse Lounge. Lyle Seehawer was named to act as new president of the council on the basis of tenure.

While ships of the maneuver force will call from . time to time at the U.S. Navy base on Guantanamo Bay, the Navy said, the exercise had been planned some time ago. The government-controlled Cu ban press denounced the naval ac tivity as warmongering and pro vocative. "Prensa Libre" said the maneu vers were designed to encour age counter-revolutionaries "sup plied by the Pentagon and Central Intelligence Agency in case their enthusiasm had been dampened by Cuba s display of military might in a huge parade in Havana Jan. 2. 'Covering Play' The maneuvers would serve as a "covering play" for ships and planes bringing invaders, the newspapers chargod. The semi-official "Revolucion" charged the United States is min ing Guantanamo Bay and unload ing large quantities of medicine at the base. "Revolucion" said the U.S. sunercarrier Franklin D.

The carrier stayed in port about five hours while replacement per sonnel for the base were ferried ashore in small boats. Then the big ship, her flight deck jammed with jet aircraft, left for what the Navy said would be about 10 days of intensive training in night op erations.

About 5.000 persons demon strated against the maneuvers in Holguin, Oriente Province, where the base is located. Cuban forces in Oriente are be lieved to he under the personal command of Maj.

Flegel Gets Seats On Senate Groups AI Flegel, state senator from Roseburg, picked up a chairman ship, a vice chairmanship and memberships on two more Senate committees Monday as he took his seat for the first time in the senior house. He was named chairman of the Alcoholic Control Committee, vice chairman of the Highway Commit tee and to memberships on the Ed ucation and powerful Ways and Means Committee. Ihe last two committee appoint ments were probably most signifi cant. It was on the Education Com mittee in the House of Representa tives that he was able to control efforts by other representatives to secure a wider distribution of O&t! funds. Use of these funds may come before his committee again this year as the result of an Inter im Committee on Education's de cision to recommend use of 12' per cent of them for stalo Basic School Support Fund offsets. On the Ways and Means Commit tee, he will have something to say about all financial requests. Levity Fact Rant 3y L F.
