Fri., Mor., 10, 1961 BIG INDUSTRY COMING By Charles V. Stanton Previously it has been pointed out that the timber in dustry is to undergo a huge expansion, once chemical use of wood gets a good start. In fact, many observers con tend that timbers and boards, now the principal product from our forests, will be one of the minor products at some time in the future. The prediction even has been made that our logs will be too valuable to be cut for lumber, and that we'll buy lumber from countries with low wage costs. Here in Oregon we are greatly concerned with new in dustry. We need new industry. We seek to compete with other localities, some of them with such assets as better climate, manpower, recreation, etc., when we have in our own back yard resources that will give us a somewhat exclusive industrial economy. Oregon, and particularly southwestern Oregon, lias a tremendous timber resource. Our timber eventually will form the base for production closely paralleling the petro chemical industry. Almost anything that can be produced from crude oil can be made from wood, once we learn how. Industry establishes itself near the source of raw ma terial. Thus we can look forward to a vast expansion of the timber industry here in Douglas County in the years to come. , Chemical Plants Coming But how long must we wait? We've been promised a silvichemical industry for a long time. Is there any indi cation that the promised expansion is coming soon? I believe the era of wood chemistry is near. It will, in my opinion, boom at a great rate, once a breakthrough is made and it would appear that a start is in prospect. One large company, it is reported, may announce a I plant in the Pacific Northwest within a few more months. Others are said to be looking at the area. One of the products is melamine formaldehyde. That's the stuff from which the well known Mel-Mac dinnerware is produced. But it also is used as overlay for plywood, and goes into papermaking. Another company is report ed to be planning a plant to make chemicals used in the manufacture of pulp and paper. Those are not chemicals made from wood, but they will increase production of pulp, paper, plywood, etc., there by creating more material for chemical usage. We have the scientific know-how to make commercial alcohol from wood. We are of commercial alcohol from to .domestic production because then we wouldn t be send ing dollars abroad to be spent on our own exports. Too, alcohol from wood is opposed by the growers of grain and sugar cane. Stable Production Required Eventually we'll find a way in which to make a fuel for our automobiles from wood, I believe. Then we'll run into some healed competition from our oil industry. We already know how to obtain wax, medicines, ferti lizers, molasses, plastics, fabrics, and many other prod ucts. We must learn the way to cut production costs and to establish markets. One discovery will lead to another. When one com pany develops a product, its competitor will also get into the field. Once the expansion starts, I expect it to mush room. But the man looking for an industrial site isn't looking for waste. He wants to know what the production will be fifty years from now. Consequently it would be well for Douglas County, I believe, to be making some studies on its sustained yield potential and be prepared to meet proposed new industries with figures based on raw material resources many-ears from now rather than our present capacity. ' Expansion, 1 feel, is "just around the corner" and we should be prepared for it. GOP Leaders Note Increased Strength WASHINGTON (AP) - The Re publican congressional leadership has contended the Kennedy ad ministration has lost its "sense of urgency and hurry" and that there is a resurgence of Repub lican strength around the country. Son. Everett M. Dirkscn of Il linois, Republican partv leader, and Rep. Charles A. 1 hillock u Indiana, his counterpart in the House, also asserted at a news conference that President Kenne dy lias not lived up to his cam paign promises. Their meeting with newsmen was just after the weekly con ference of the Republican leader ship. Dirksen led off by saying the "sense of urgency and hurry" that accompanied Kennedy's first days in office "seems to have dimmed a little." particularly in the field of action to meet the recession. And llallerk said even Kenne dy's own economic experts are beginning to say things are look ing brighter. - Halleck attributed that brighter situation to "the spring thaw in the economic situation," and said "little can be credited to anything the new administration has done."

S. dollar. The move will increase the value of the mark from 23.8 U.S. cents to 25 U. S. cents. It is expected to help the U. S. out with its balance of payments problem. As of now (and for some time past) the U. S. has been pay ing out more dollars to foreigners than it is taking in from foreigners. As a result, our gold supply is slowly being drained away. West Germany, now VKRY prosperous. is doing her Boy Scout deed to help us strike a balance. flow will it help? I Well, it can help in three ways: First: It. is expected to reverse the stream of speculative money Ihat has been flowing from the U.S. into prosperous west Ger many, where investment money is in demand and interest rates are higher than here. How will it do that? It will make marks more ex pensive in terms of dollars. In the nasi, the speculator who has want ed to transfer his money from the tinned Males to west Germany has been able to buy 4.2 marks for a dollar. He will now be ahle to buy only four marks for a dol lar. Second: It will tend to make American securities CHEAPER for Germans. How? In the past. West Germans who have wanted to invest in American securities have had to pay 4.2 marks for James Marlou) Goldberg Seems Standout Of New Cabinet Members WASHINGTON (AP)-Ifs that time in the life of a new admin istration when looking at the President's Cabinet is like exam ining a chorus line to guess who'll star. By this time in President Ei senhower's first administration three of his Cabinet already were tagged as standout: Secretary of Stute John Foster Dulles, Treas ury Secretary George M. Hum phrey and Defense Secretary Charles E. Wilson. It's not that easy with Presi dent Kennedy's Cabinet. Yet, he has some extremely forceful men around him. But so far Labor Sec retary Arthur J. Goldberg has had far more attention than the others. Dulles, Humphrey and Wilson all lived up to early expectations, but in different ways, and were on stage till the end of their serv ice. Dulles and Humphrey be came dominant and controversial. Wilson, who occasionally popped off to his own disadvantage, was as controversial as either of the other two but never seemed to acquire their authoritative voice. By comparison the vest of that first Eisenhower team with the exception of Agriculture Secre tary Ezra Taft Benson remained shadowy figures. Goldberg, if only because of the events which immediately began to overtake him, so far has given the impression of more speed than anyone else in the Kennedy Cabinet. Ills problems, of course, were of the kind to make head lines. First, he had to sellle a tug boat strike which had New. York in knots; then he had In settle an airline strike which had the nation in knots.

Presumably, when it COSTS MORE, fewer Americans will go there as tourists. conversely, it will cost Germans LESS to visit the United States. So, it is hoped, fewer Americans will go to West Germany to spend their American money there and more Germans will come to the United States to spend their , Ger man money Here. Complicated? It certainly Is. But it will be easier to understand if you will remember that before you can buy anything in a foreign country you must first BUY THE MONEY of the foreign country with which to pay for it.

And his actions, rath er than his words, may assume an extremely important role in any appraisal of the Kennedy ad ministration. Interior Secretary Stewart L.

Winston ire Asks Faith In Sheriff , To The Editor: Opinions expressed I through' Reader Opinions about "Big Steve are very interesting. As Steve is menially deranged, he cannot be punished for his crimes legally, and, while he must be captured, any killing will have to be the last resort. Several years ago a man who de fied the law was shot and killed near Riddle. His house and, I might say the house of his wife and children, was so badly shot up it was no longer a fit place in which to live. The then sheriff was very much censored for his action, as the people of the Rid dle area did not think the offi cers were justified in what they did. " We who last November gave hearty support to Sheriff Byrd in his bid for reelection can hardly turn on him at this time when he is faced with such a serious prob lem. It would be very simple just to kill Sieve, hut all of us Know that such a killing would leave a very bad taste in our mouths. Sheriff Bvrd's method of re capturing Steve may seem slow, nut in oroer to gel mm an in une piece it is the only method I can think of. It is easy to understand the fears of people who live in Steve's "domain." They are very real fears, whether groundless or not. But, as we naa commence in Sheriff Byrd such a short time past, let us give him our confid ence now when he needs it as much as he did before. I think none of us could pick a belter qualified man to do the job. If Steve ever gets to the point where he can elaborate things, 1 am quite sure he, too, will be glad Sheriff Byrd was on his trail and not someone who has watched too many westerns on TV.

Architects Of New Order Follow Socialist Plan To The Editor: Most people think of revolution as the violent overthrow of gov ernment and cannot conceive that it can be just as completely de stroyed a little at a time from within. ; In my opinion the United States is not too far from the final stages of just such a revolution which started as the New Deal in 1933. We are turning our republic, which was probably the finest sys tem the world has ever known, into one similar to the totalitarian governments which have prevailed in many foreign countries from ancient times. A few of those responsible were true revolutionaries working . for the international communist con spiracy who have been following a hrilliantly conceived and superla tively executed plan for the com munist conquest of the world, but Ihe vast majority are misguided intellectuals who believe they are building a new order where all Denote will cniov a hanoier life. free frorft want, with security for all. To accomplish this the wealth of our country is being redistri buted through excessive taxation and vast spending programs. White these architects of uie new order vehemently deny they are socialists, they are following quite closely the socialist plan, which does not create new wealth but will only be successful until the wealth produced by the free en terprise system is squandered and then, human nature being what it is, compulsion becomes necessary to insure production. Bureaus must be set up lo make and enforce Ihe thousands of rules and regulations inherent in Ihe sys tem, which, when it reaches this stage, is changing from socialism to a bureaucratic dictatorship. These bureaus are constantly en larged, become hard to control Putting" At Opinions I and finally become so complicated 1 that niw hnrpati may at the um, time be carrying on projects in direct opposition to one another. A good example of this is the mess caused by government med dling with the American farmers While some of them are being paid to retire land others are paid lo put land into production, at the same time vast sums are spent on irrigation ana reclamation projects. While all this is going on farm ers are bcine subsidized in rais ing surplus crops and billions of dollars of the taxpayers money is spent by the government in ac quiring and storing these surplus es. After more than twenty years of mis laniasuc mess the bureaucrats are still rushing ahead with new schemes and the farm problem is farther from solution than ever. Had the farmers been left alone the law of supply and demand would have taken care of their problem long ago. Many people in our country, my self included, have changed occu pations several times, without any help or interference from the gov ernment, as changing conditions made the one we were engaged in no longer profitable. We have gone so far down the road to ruin that it will take a tremendous effort and require great sacrifice from all of us to turn our country back to sane, con stitutional government but it is still within our power to do so. When they fully understand all the implications of what has been happening to our country I believe most Americans will agree that loss of freedom is too high a price to pay for "security from the cra dle to the grave."

I had planned to come back lo Roseburg this month to start re building my "Bike Shop" but now I will have to wait for a while. My leg, crippled in the explosion that wrecked our home Aug. 7, 1959, and killed my wife and daugh ter, was doing just fine. Then the silver plate broke and part of the shattered leg bone came apart.

As soon as the old leg is healed enough to travel, I will be back home in Roseburg. Alvin M. Ktivkcndall 36628 Darvon Ave. ' Newark, Calif. Francis Stilley Electronic Watch Inventor May Not Wind Up A Hero NEW YORK (AP) To most Americans, Switzerland and watchmaking go together. Max Hetzcl was one Swiss lad who didn't care a tick about watchmaking. And what did he do? He wound up inventing an electronic age watch that not only doesn't tick but doesn't have to be wound. He may wind up as less than a hero in his native land as a result. Hetzcl believes his new time piece will make conventional watches obsolete eventually. Switzerland is renowned for; manufacture " of conventional watches. Hctzel's watch is termed 111? first to employ a complete change in operating principles after more than 300-years of watchmaking. Its works include a tiny electro magnet and transistors. It is pow ered by a dime-sized battery which costs $1.50 and lasts a year. The electromagnet operates a mechanical arm, which turns a ratchet wheel and that in turn makes the watch go. Eliminated is the mainspring, the balance wheel and the hair spring. Hetzel's watch has 12 mov ing parts, compared with up to 26 in others. The manufacturer says it doesn't need cleaning or oiling, should never need repairs under normal usage, and guarantees it to be accurate to within one min ute a month. Hetzel figures only a few seconds. And how did Hetzel. 39. an elec tronics engineer now - becoming an American citizen, happen to citizen, happen devise an unprecedented kind of wmcn.

From Readers Qar Asks Turkey Fund i ' To The Editor: I While the Drain Show is to he Few of us will forget the North-' encouraged, the Southern Oregon west Turkey Show as it was held! Sheep Show, being of regional im in Oakland. The live and dressed : portance, is the more deserving turkeys exhibited at the fair stimu lated an industry and resulted in development of the broadbreasted turkey the bird so popular on our tables. Many thousands of dollars were added to economy in Doug las County and the State of Ore gon. Exhibitors came from as far away as Texas, leaving those pleasant memories of the acquain tences made at the show, banquet and dance. As late as 1939 we produced some 215,000 turkeys in Douglas County. Recently 1 received a pub lication from the Department of Agriculture stating that Douglas County, once the turkey capital of Oregon, ahd dropped to 12,000 birds. The drop has been caused largely by economic factors. It takes a considerable amount of money to put on a showof this character. In Oregon we have a law that appropriates two - fiflhs of the racing fund to be apportion ed from the general fund to spe cific agricultural shows. The law authorizes appropriations to the State Fair, Pacific International, Eastern Oregon Livestock Show, Mid Columbia Agricultural Show, Pendleton Roundup, Merril Potato Festival, Klamath Roundup. Spring Lamb and Dairy Show at Canby, Pacific Turkey Exhibit, and Oregon State Corn Show. An other such appropriation goes to the Northwest Turkey Show. The turkey show was transferred a few years ago from Oakland to the Douglas County Fair. But it has dwindled out of existence. The money has been used for the coun ty fair. In order lo correct this situation our senator has introduced SB350 which would transfer money for merly given the Northwest Turkey Show to the North Douglas Com munity Fair, held at Drain. Unquestionably the North Doug las Community Fair is very fine and deserving. But if every com munity fair is to get an equival ent amount there would be noth ing left for the statewide specialty fairs, county fairs and other such shows which now receive equal parts of the money remaining in the racing fund after the special ty shows and fairs have received the specific amounts fixed by law. Ihe law was set up for special ty and county fairs, rather than for community fairs. Inasmuch as sheep have become a leading agricultural crop and are much more - important than turkeys here in southern Oregon, it seems only logical that money formerly going to the Northwest Turkey Show should be transfer- red to our Lamb Show, a show that has reached such a stage of importance it is being developed as the Southern Oregon Sheep Show. As such it will be of much value in stimulating and develop ing the industry in the whole area. ics and by 18 he had built a pow erful telescope and was plotting planets. He won honors in high-level Swiss technical schools for elec tronics achievements and went to work inventing radio-television de vices. His friends thought he was crazy when he gave up a highly sucessful position as an electron ics engineer with a Swiss firm to join an American watchmaking concern. None of them had ever heard of it and Hetzel cared noth ing about watches. But he wanted to make a change. Hetzel saw a newspaper In 1950 jad of the American company for j electronics engineers, checked up ! on the firm and found it was quite a going concern. Hetzcl soon proved a going concern also. He was so adept at managing electronics aspects of one of its Swiss plants he found he had a lot of extra time on his hands. The chairman of the company suggested he set his mind to de vising a new concept in watch making. The concept came easy to Hetzcl, but the application didn't. "It took lots of hard work," he "I made a large-scale model and began trying lo reduce the parts lo extremely small size. "After Ihat, I had lo invent the machines to make the parts." Amid this.--Hetzel moved his wife and three children lo this country, rose lo chief physicist ol Ihe company and applied for American citizenship. Now his companv has put his watch on the market. Hetzcl hopes he can soon get hack to his first 1 love electronics in general He was asked what he had done with his first large-scale model of the electronic watch saved it for a museum perhaps? "Nah." replied Hetzel. "t threw it in the wastehasket a long lime ago. I didn't think anybody would want it for anything." FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY SERVICES H 00 A.M. 7:00 P.M.
