2 The News-Review, Roseburg, Chamber Votes To Continue Voluntary Time Change Plan The Board of Directors of the Roseburg Area Chamber of Com merce Tuesday night voted to con tinue the voluntary Daylight Sav ings Time plan currently being carried out by many local busi nesses and industries. The Chamber Board, in a near unanimous vote, called for contin uing the DST on a trial basis to see if it will be adopted by tho general public. Chamber President George Grat ke said the C of C had given the DST matter a great deal of study before recommending that it be adopted. Solons Blamed "We have attempted to make a decision which will be most ad vantageous to the entire area on an overall economic scene," he said. "Many of our local area busi nesses, primarily the lumber and plywood mills, are competing with business on the north, couth and east of us that are on Daylight havings lime and it is our feel ing that moving the clock ahead here will enable them to compete on a more equal basis and to car ry out telephone negotiations with their outlets on a less confusing basis." "One thing I would like to make very clear," he continued, "is that the Chamber of Commerce did not bring about the Daylight Savings Time confusion that now exists. What we have tried to do is clear up the confusion brought about when the State Legislature passed a bill allowing part of the state to go on DST if it wished, but Fast Time Advocates Win Support But Some Chinks One new battle was won by Day light Saving Time advocates but the war was far from won as some chinks were beginning to appear in the DST battlcfront.

Hemorrhoids Cured Painlessly By Non-Surgical Method The non-surgical, electronic method for the treatment of Hemorrhoids (Piles) devel oped by doctors at the Dean Clinic has been so successful and permanent in nature that the following policy is offered their patients : "After all symp toms of Hemorrhoids . . , have subsided and the patient has been discharged, if he should ever have i recurrence, all AOVSltTtltMINT Ore. Wed., June 7, 1961 not granting that privilege to the i omer pans. Union Utter Gratke read a letter from Nor man A. Lee, business agent for Local No. 2949. Lumber & Saw mill Workers, in which Lee said, "This action (referring to the Chamber's DST recommendation) was in direct contravention of the mandate of the majority of the people for the state of Oregon. (The DST measure on the election ballot last year failed by a slim margin of 393.652 to 307,499.) Lee also said, "It has been stated by many members of the Chamber of Commerce that it is strictly voluntary as to whether or not you go by Daylight Savings Time or standard time. This absolutely not true. The average workmen (which is the bulk of the people) are forced by their employers or the Chamber of Com merce to go along against their wishes and against their vote which so many of us used to think had some value. Boycott Incidents Incidents of boycotts against stores practicing DST were report ed at Tuesday night's meeting as was the rumor that "bumper suckers encouraging such a boy' cott are in the offing here. Lee told The News-Review ear lier this week there "definitely is an organized move within the un ion to shun stores on daylight time." He said, however, there has been no formal action taken but this represents the sentiment of union officials and members. Begin To Appear The new additions to the DST battalions were the Itosehurg area doctors. Dr. Louis F. Mickaiek, president of (he Douglas County medical society, said a poll of doc tors favored Daylight Saving Time. lie saiu an doctors offices are now on the fast time and appoint ments are being made according ly. Meanwhile, no county Denial As sociation decision has been made. One dentist reported that some dentists are on standard and oth ers on daylight time. The Roseburg Chamber of Com merce, which launched the effort for Daylight Saving Time, went on record again Tuesdav niaht in favor of continuing it, but another cracn appeared in the SE Jackson St. area where DST has found its strongest support. Weber's Bakery reported it had been on daylight time, but was returning to stand ard time Thursday. Meanwhile, in Grants Pass where a similar movement for Daylight Saving Time got under way this week, the victorv had gone to standard time. The Associ ated Press reports only about four merchants are slill on DST there. Tho Umpqua Hotel is on Day light Saving Time, and because of confusions in times, members of service clubs are havine trouble getting to meetings on time, it was reported. The next service club meetings are scheduled Thursday. Roseburg Rotary Club will meet at noon DST and 11 a.m. standard. Rose burg Lions Club meets at 6:30 p.m. DST or 5:30 standard.

Ironically, it was the AFL-CIO to which the Roseburg local is af filated, which supported DST in the 1960 election and the Building and Construction Trades Council of Oregon which introduced the legis lative bill in Salem which led to the approval of DST for five north ern Oregon counties. "The Chamber of Commerce," Gratke pointed out, "has more than 40 per cent of its membership from business representatives out side the city of Roseburg, and our aim is to promote programs which will do the most good for the most people throughout the en tire area .... not just for the downtown Roseburg businessman Hazen Elected Jaycee Officer Lester E.

Rusk Asks New Foreign Agency WASHINGTON (AP) -Secretary of State Dean Rusk urged Congress today to create a single agency to handle long-term for eign aid with a minimum number of strings attached. Rusk told the House Foreign Affairs Committee that he was presenting the administration's new assistance program with an added sense of urgency because of President Kennedy's broadcast report Tuesday night on his trip to Europe. Rusk also asked for a clear sep aration between military aid and assistance for economic and social development. In his dollar figures and the rest of the program, Rusk went down the line with the outline presented by .Kennedy in his for eign aid message. Committee Chairman Thomas Morgan, D-Pa., estimated the amount required to carry out the President's requests next year at $4,535 billion. Rusk laid emphasis on the pro posal for authority for the admin istration to borrow $900 million from the Treasury in the year starling July 1 and an additional $1.6 billion in each of the four fol lowing years, for loans on long term projects. Tied in with this borrowing pro posal was a request to permit the new International Economic and Social Development Agency to re lend payments of both principal and interest on past loans. Such funds are estimated at $287 mil lion next year with an average of around $300 million over a five year period.
