One area that had originally been proposed to be included in the benefiting district, Flournoy Valley, was tentatively dropped from the planning at the unani mous vote of the majority of land owners in the area. They 'voiced opposition to the project because they own large parcels of land and feci the cost would be prohibitive.

Building Supplies Irrigation Berkeley Pumps Plumbing Department GERRETSEN BUILDING SUPPLY CO. Odtll & Coiper Sri. Flegel Bldg. OR 2-2636 On Block Off Diamond Lake Blvd. draw up a petition asking the Doug las County Court to hold a putmc hearing and subsequent election on the desired formation ot an irri gation district. This petition will require the sig natures of 50 residents of the bene fiting district. At the actual elec tion, the issue would have to be approved by 60 per cent of the landowners involved before the dis trict could be formed. Once that district was formed all land within the boundaries would be considered part of the district and all residents would be taxed by the district in accordance with their total Irrigable acres, re gardless of whether or not they personally were in favor of the district, The actual charges for water within the district will be made on a scale established by the three member board of directors which will be elected at the same time the district election is held. Charg es will be on a basis of irrigable acres and not total acres. The board of directors, acting on Bu reau of Reclamation studies, will determine which acres are Irri gable and which are not. When the election docs come up, each family with a tract of land containing not less than five acres will receive one vote per family. The areas involved are the Look- ingglass Valley, Tenmilc, Brock way, Melrose, Happy Valley, 01 alia and Flournoy Valley. Prior to the dropping the 980-acre f lour noy Valley, tentative acreage in the district was figured at 12,130 acres. The proposed Olalla Dam itself would be constructed on Olalla Creek some 20 miles from Rose burg. Estimated cost of the dam and irrigation system is 10 mil lion. The district would have a re payment potential of about $1 mil lion and the federal government would charge the other $9 million to Columbia River power projects. If an irrigation district Is formed, it would take about five more years before water would start running throngh the ditches to ir rigate land in the district. . The Bureau of Reclamation is slated to have its feasibility report on the project completed this December and will not be able to continue Winston Opens Bids On New Sewer Line Winston City Council opened two bids for extension of sewer line on Sherry St. between Morgan and Glcnhart, at its Thursday evening meeting, reports J'hebe McGuire, correspondent. The bids were from F.d A. Miller, contractor from Roscburg, for $2, 540, and Howard Newton ot Win ston for $1,675. Newton received the contract. The city has now purchased a tractor with a mower attachment for $450 to cut the weeds along the right of way streets, it was report ed at the meeting. The council issued a call for bids for a 19C1 one-half ton pickup truck for city use. The bids will bo opened July 13 at 7:30 p.m. at a special meeting. Bill Hale was appointed acting police chief, replacing Ray Oliver who resigned. Steven J. Matthews was appointed to serve as patrol man. He will move from Sutherlin. He has been serving in that capa city on a part-time basis the past few weeks. The council voted to install a phone in the city shop building. A public hearing on sewer ex tension in the Curncy subdivision. the (iurncy addition and part ot Botsford Plat was set for the regu lar council meeting July 20. If -the sewer is installed, it will serve 35 properties, - Charge Dismissed A charge of assault and battery was dismissed in Municipal Court Thursday against Jerry K. Wilkins, 32, 1364 SE Pine St. Judge Warren Woodruff dismiss ed the charge when the complain ant did not appear. Wilkins' bail of $300 was returned to him. mm i Whether you nd o niw kit chen, nothar both room, a finiihtd attic, do Ho. a aorooe. Hi with the project until it has an official district to deal with. The irrigation district was voted in for this area instead of a water control district or a corporation because the laws for an irrigation district make all land within the boundaries part of the district while the other two leave the choice up to the people, who can join or not join as they wisn once the district is formed. Lookingglass resident Art Loerts who has chairmaned the drive for formation of a district recently said he felt this was the only type of district that could be formed, because the project would not be financially feasible without all of the land being included Other members of the landown ers committee are J. G. Dickover Tenmile, Harold Nichols, Brock way, Stanford Buell, Happy Valley, Oliver Fisk, Lookingglass, Herbert JNorthcraft, Olalla and rred in gle, Flournoy Valley. A Melrost representative will be appointed in the near future. Rotary Club Hears Marketing Expert The purpose of the Brand Names Foundation is to impress on con sumers the benefits of using brand name products. So said Mike Koza, merchan dising director McKay's Markets, Eugene. lie was featured speak er at the weekly meeting of the Roscburg Rotary Club Thursday. His store in Eugene was an all star winner in the Brand Names contest sponsored by the founda tion last year. He was introduced by another Brand Names contest winner, John Robertson of Rose burg. "People can't smell, touch or taste every product, but they can know who makes it, Koza said "A brand name Is a company s reputation," he continued. The foundation, he said, tells people r.what brand names do. It shows there is indeed a difference between brands. It also helps com panics in promotional advertising ideas. He also explained the annual Brand Names contest in which Robertson, a Shell Oil Co. station owner, has been a runner-up in three of the last four years. The contest is an appraisal of a company's brand names promo tion effectiveness. A retailer of the year is named in 26 categories They are alcoholic beverage stores, appliance stores, automobile deal ers, building materials stores, chil dren's wear, department and drug stores, farm equipment dealers, food stores, furniture stores, gaso line stations, hardware and house ware, jewelry stores, men's wear shops, music stores, photograpny stores, shoe stores, specialty stores and sporting goods stores.

The notification was given by Walter P. Reuther at a news con ference today, minutes before the UAW president opened the union's bargaining on a new contract at Chrysler. Rocket Failure Stops Dust Hunt WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. (AP1- Rockct failure apparently cut off today an effort to make the best study yet of the space dust that constitutes a possible lethal threat to spacemen. A Scout rocket lifted off a sea side launching pad here at 12:06 p.m. On its nose rode an instru ment package designed to learn more about the tiny space bullets that might erode or even puncture a space vehicle as they strike it at speeds up to 45 miles a second But at 12:19 p.m. the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis tration announced that the fourth stage of the booster failed to ig nite. A spokesman said "It looks bad." All four stages of the rocket were to have been fired in about eight minutes after the launching. The 72-foot, 36,600-pound rocket was intended to put the 125-pound micrometeoroid satellite into an orbit ranging from 240 to 620 miles up. I.ess formally, technicians dubbed the space traveler "beer can after tho shape of its im pact recording devices. The intent is to learn more about the space dust perhaps ultimate debris of exploded plan ents that might erode or even puncture a space vehicle as the particles strike it at speeds up to 45 miles a second. Scientists thought they might find big ones even up to a tenth of an inch radius with the equipment sent up today. Those recorded so far have been "real flyspecks" as one scientist word ed it, on the order of four ten thousandths of an inch. - Even those, however, are rated a pos sible menace. The density of the particles in the outer reaches is indicated by estimates that thousands of tons filter through the atmosphere and settle on the earth daily. Officials of the National Aero nautics and Space Administration estimated it would take nearly two hours to determine whether the dust hunter achieved orbit. Picnic For Tiller Arej Foresters Set Tuesday The annual Fourth of July picnic for all Tiller area Forest Service employes and their families will be held at 5 p.m. in front of the for mer Cow Creek office building on the rear grounds at the Tiller Ranger Station, reports Mrs. Mil ton Haminersly, correspondent.

It was recovered across the river. Reuther came to Chrysler from General Motors and Ford where he opened new contract negotia tions on successive days. At Ford Thursday he declared the new pacts with the industry must break new ground and develop new concepts. Chrysler lost $21.9 million in this year's first quarter and some financial sources estimate it also lost money in the second quarter ending today. The UAW argues the wage contract is not to blame, since Ford, GM and American Motors rolled up profits with simi lar ones. John D. Leary, Chrysler vice president for industrial relations, said in a statement: "The out come of these negotiations is im portant not only for the future well-being of Chrysler, but also will have a direct bearing on the future well-being of its employes, its dealers and its suppliers, "We feel that all interests can best be served by an agreement that will fully recognize the cost pressures which so heavily in fluence the production and sale of consumer products." UAW President Walter P. Reu ther, who led the union's bar gaining team at Chrysler as he had in openings on successive days at General Motors and Ford, declared at Ford Thursday that "new ground will have to broken and new concepts developed" in contract settlements this summer.

A WHALE OF A DEAL NOW WE CAN ALLOW MORE ON TRADES NOW BECAUSE WE NEED USED CARS We Have Buyers For Used Cars NEW BUICKS AND PONTIACS PRICED FROM $2298 Roseburg Your Buick and 504 S. E. Rose Eichmann deprecated docu ments labeling a special mission to Denmark to transport Jews out in ships as the "Eichmann Sonderkommando". He said there was a tendency to term any unit connected with his department IV-B-4 Jewish affairs a "sonderkommando." Sonderkommando, or special unit, was the name given by the Nazis to the battalions sent to the East in 1941 and 1942 to li quidate two million Jews by gun fire and in mobile gas vans. The Danish venture failed to materialize, mostly because the Danes by an almost unanimous resistance made Denmark the one giant failure of the Third Reich's effort to liquidate the Jews. Eichmann admitted he went to Copenhagen on orders of his im mediate superior, Gen. Heinrich Mueller, but contended the plan already had been "implemented" by an SS colonel on the scene by the time he got there. their outstanding work, dual award being given this year, were Mrs. Thomas Pargeter, for her work with the blind rehabilitation for the fourth year, and Mrs. Bern ard Saar for her committee and other activities this past year.
