If hunters are to lie hoodlums and vandals, there is no excuse for hunting in an age when it is far cheaper to buy meat at the meat counter than to go out in the woods and SHOOT it. What to do about it? It is obviously impossible to hire wardens and patrolmen enough to natch all the hunters who go into lite woods. There are tens of thou sands of them. Neither the states nor the owners of private property ran afford the cost that would be involved in watching every hunt er, or even every hunting party. It may be the SPORTSMEN hunt ers will have to take the situation in hand if the hunting privilege is to be preserved. How? Maybe the vandal hunter should be OSTRACISED. It he knew that no sportsman would ever speak to him again, it might restrain him from vandalism. Government Says Factory Can't Move .' WASHINGTON (AP) The gov ernment says a blouse factory rant move to South Carolina over a labor contract dispute and leave its employes in fhiladel phia without jobs. The National Labor Relations Board ruled this week that Sidele Fashions, inc., must provide Jobs for the old employes either in Philadelphia or at the new plant ia Ware Shoals, S.C. It labeled the move South last year an unfair "device to wrest bargaining concessions" from the Garment Workers Union. The NLRB gave Mac J. Cahn and Sidney L. Schiro, who now operate Personality Sportswear Inc., in Ware Shoals, two choices: 1. Write all employes dis charged in the move and offer them substantially the same jobs they had at a reopened Philadel phia plant. The board said Cahn had indicated interest in reopen ing the plant if he could reac agreement with the union. 2. Offer them similar jobs at thr Ware Shoals plant with full seniority and other rights, "dis missing, if necessary, all em ployes at the Ware Shoals plant." except for those who make an economy line blouse in which the South Carolina plant specializes. Workers who decide to move to Ware Shoals, the NLRB said, will be paid travel and moving expenses for themselves and their families. Only nine of Sidele's 200 workers have gone to Ware Shnals so far, the board said h.

Stanton Pievioimlv in this column I have aaid tlmt construction of fallout shelter could play an important part in hurry ing the return of prosperity. One element of pronperity in the circulation of money. Pronperity doesn't depend upon how much money we HAVE. Prosperity depends upon how much money we SPEND. If enouirh people will spend money to build fallout shelters, we'll have quick return of prosperity. To influence people to build fallout shelter we must get them sufficiently scared frightened. When we were in a period of depression, we had one crisis after another. We couldn't change horses in the middle of the stream, we were told by our political lead ers. Whenever it came time for Congress to adopt a fed eral budget, we were on the brink of war somewhere. Our magazines were filled with the writings of retired generals and admirals, each telling how this branch of the armed services, or that branch, must kaput. Today's administration is ophies and practices to the New Deal. In fact, in some cases, it appears to be trying to outdo the New Deal. Stat Of Ntrvti We seemingly are being kept constantly in the midst of crisis one crisis after another, or several simultane ously. We're threatened in China, in Laos, in Africa, in Tunisia. And the big threat is Berlin. We have built Russia into a menacing military threat. Some military men say that Russia never has been a military power; that it presently is not a military power; that production rather- than force of arms is the decisive factor in war; that a military nation must be able to pro duce food but, from the best information we have avail able, Russia hasn't enough food to feed its people ade quately. Hut, on the other side, v.e get the impression that Rus sia is poised f(r war and that we're lagging. Then we have scared the daylights out of ourselves with our own invention. We built the first nuclear bombs, and exploded them. Since then better bombs have been made. But a good many military men contend that no one will use nuclear bombs, so long as both sides are adequately armed, just as no one used poison gas in the last war. The use of nuclear bombs, some military men contend, would so damage both sides that neither is apt to risk the retaliation a nuclear attack would cause. But on that score there is vigorous disagreement. We're being told all the horrors nuclear war would cause. Not only are we being kept frightened of bombs in them selves, but we hear the most gruesome stories concerning fallout. Some people would have tis believe that fallout is our big problem. Others tell us that we're being brainwashed by exaggerations. Lumber Industry Lagging But that brings me to a conclusion that our lumber in dustry is missing the boat. If we can get enough people frightened about nuclear fallout, they'll build shelters. By building shelters they'll need lots of materials. They will furnish jobs for carpenters, masons, plumbers, electricians. They'll need furniture and food. If enough can be convinced that they need shelters if they hope to go on living, they'll spend many millions of dollars, all of which will contribute to production, national income, in creased prosperity, reduction Ihe lug opportunity for getting and keeping people scared, then convincing them of the need for lumber with which to build shelters. Here in Douglas County we produce of dimension timbers. Dimension timbers could be used to build very good shelters. Douglas County produces a lot of rough green lumber and plywood, ideal for form lumber for concrete. And concrete shelters are urged. The steel people have the vision our lumber industry seems to be lacking. The steel industry has brought out a fine booklet, "Steel Shelters for Fallout Protection." They tell all the good points of using galvanized steel, or steel sheets. They make it seem that living in a steel shelter actually could be fun. They suggest the use of hearth slag, now a total waste, for insulating material. That's a good way to sell a product that the industry now is hard-pressed to dispose of. All of which is to say that so long as people are to be exposed to frightening news, and perhaps influenced into building shelters, and thereby adding to our national econ omy, our lumber industry mould be getting on the ball and adding to the general field of information.

Cars ore City Lacks Authority To Change Traffic Patterns On State Roads By DICK KERRUISH News-Review Staff Writer The Roseburg municipality has no authority to make changes aim ed at correcting traffic "problem areas" in the Pine-Stephens coup let, city officials pointed out to day. City Manager John Warhurton said the municipality cannot re vise tratfic patterns or change or install traffic control installations on state highways which are with in the city. Nor can a city by its own de cision introduce or alter traffic systems affecting side streets in tersecting with the highways. Three traffic trouble spots in par ticular have attracted public com plaint. One confusing situation is Ihe head-on mergence of one-way and two-way traffic on SE Wash ington Ave. where that avenue in tersects with Stephens St. Change Requested Residents are asking for a change. They are also demand ing installation of a traffic bght at the intersection of SK Douglas Ave. and Stephens St. where traf fic clogs up on Douglas, particular ly in the evening hours when bus iness poopl" head home. "Some residents have wondered why Ihe city has not gone ahead and corrected these traffic hitch es," Warhurton said. "The answer is that it does not have the author ity. Changes of this nature must he worked out cooperatively with the slate traffic engineer." The ufficial said Roseburg has submitted recommendations to the state regarding both problems, but no action has been taken. In the usual procedure, the state traffic engineer makes a study of the pruposal to determine if the change is really necessary. Driver Stymied Washington Ave. from the east carries two lanes of westbound one-way traffic Into the Stephens intersection. But the continuation of Washington Ave. across the in tersection is designated for two way tratfic. which means that the westbound motorist who forgets to move over into the Tight lane as he approaches the intersection be tween Rose and Stephens streets is vtymied. He rsnnot go straight ahead in the same lane, cannot turn left and will probahly have difficulty at that point trying to squeere over into the right lane of traffic if he wants to proceed Into the two-way street straight ahead. The result is a confusing and DEAR ABBY Abigail Van Buren Don't Blame College HEAR ABBY: My 20- ear-old daughter is entering her third year at the Stale I niversin. Her "fi ance" is a senior there.

Recommendation Made Police Chief John Truett said the city has recommended removal of I me two-way st-guiem 1111 iiimi- ington Ave. and has suggested that ithe avenue, which will eventually ! carry westbound, one-way traffic over the new Washington Ave. bridge, be altered for that traffic pattern now. Since it will be just a matter of a few months until the change is necessitated anyway, we're ask- ing the state to advance the traf- lic plans lor tins particular situa tion." the chief explained. "That will solve our present problem ann at the same time, get residents accustomed to an other one-way street which will eventually exist for Washington Ave. on both sides of the river," Truett said. In the meantim, until the city hears from the state, the problem at the Washington-Stephens inter section will continue to be a trou ble spot. Cooperation Asked Truett asked the cooperation of the driving public in following a recommended driving procedure on Washington Ave. "Motorists driving west and us ing the left lane of tratfic should seek their opportunity to start eas ing their vehicles over into the right lane as they enter the block ; between Rose and Stephens, he said. Another problem which impedes "traftic flow" occurs on Oak Ave. between the bridge and the rail road tracks. It is urged that motorists do not stop their vehicles on the tracks when there is a lineup of cars waiting ahead for the SK Pine St. light to change. There is a hazard I here due to the possibility of trains . switching. "Where cars are lined up ahead, the motorist should stop his ve- . hide short of the tracks and wait until he has a chance to move up. I Roseburg motorists could do I much to improve traffic flow hy : improving their driving habits, the I chief said. I Traffic Stopped "Quite frequently intersections are blocked by motorists v,hi are on the tail end of a lineup of e-hi-cilrs waiting for the light to (change in the next intersection." Ihe said. "This makes it impossible for the cross-traffic to move. Much i traffic congestion could be avoid ed if driven" would halt their cars to the exclusion of others, but there is ne "commitment" or exchange of trinkets, DEAR ABBY: What is wrong with playing cupid?
