tion on Memorial Day of a park
which will "forever contribute to
the happiness of this community;
a monument that will bear testi
mony to respected and beloved
people, long after gravestones are
forgotten."
This was the gist of a speech by
Charles V. Stanton, editor of The
News-Review, who was the featur
ed speaker at the sunshine-drenched
dedication of the O. C, Brown
County Park Wednesday.
The park is located about bait a
mile east of Dixonviile.

Mitchell Survived
Oregon Bomb Blast
BLY, Ore. (API The Rev. A. E.
Mitchell, one of the three mission
aries captured by Viet Cong guer
illas last night, was the only sur
"vor of a Japanese fire bomb ex
plosion that killed six picnickers
in Southern Oregon in World War
II.
The six were apparently the
only victims of direct enemy at
tack on the continental United
States during the war.
The Rev. Mr. Mitchell's first
wife was one of the victims of the
explosion. The couple took five
children from the Christian and
Missionary Alliance Church in Bly
on a picnic in the mountains on
May 5. 1945.
As the Rev. Mr. Mitchell re
counted the story at the time:
"As I got out of my car to bring
the lunch, the others were not far
away and called to me they had
found something that looked like
a balloon. I had heard of Japanese
balloons so I shouted a warning
not to touch it.
"But just then there was a big
explosion. I ran up there and
thev were all dead."
The Rev. Mr. Mitchell married
the former Betty Patzke of Bly
some years after the war. The
couple has four children.
The present Mrs. Mitchell is the
sister of two of the church chil
dren killed in the 1945 explosion.
The Rev. Mr. Mitchell's mother
is Mrs. Glenn Mitchell, Ellens-
burg, Wash.

ple who made the park possible by
donating land and money in their
wills.
New Program Exemplified
Stanton told the audience that
the dedication of the park marked
a relatively new and modern pro
gram. It is a recreational park
designed primarily for the chil
dren of the community.
"Once we thought of parks as
places to rest. A place for the rec
reation of children was exclusive

two been combined. To unite them
has become a practice only of late
years," Stanton said.

The three missionaries were
members- of the Christian and
Missionary Alliance.
The Rev. Thomas G. Mangnam
director of the alliapce, identified
them as: A. E. Mitchell of Bly,
Ore.: Darnel Gerber of Pennsyl
vania, hometown unavailable; and
i woman, Dr. E. A. Vietty of
Houston, Tex.
Nine other Americans in the
camp including four women
nurses and Mitchell's wife and
four children were not molested.
Mangham said the Viet Cong at
tacked the camp in strength,
stealing food and medical sup
plies. He said he felt prospects of
recovering the missionaries were
good "because it would be the
worst kind of propaganda for the
Viet Cong to harm these people.
Local people know the good work
of our missionaries there and the
medical program they have been
operating for many years."
Three other foreign missionaries

a Norwegian wre detained for a
few hours in the same general
area several weeks ago by the
Viet Cong, but were released after

Distribution Of CM Stock
Set By Du Pont Directors
WILMINGTON, Del. (AP)-Di-
rectors of E. I. Du pont de
Nemours & Co., Inc., today de
cided to distribute about a third
of the 63 million shares of Gen
eral Motors stock it holds to its
common shareholders, on July 9.
Under tie arrangement, a hold

The stock distribution is the

of around $1.15 billion. GM was
: quoted at over $50 today when the
I New York Stock Exchange
I opened. Du Pont was quoted at
$211.
So it was that 0. C. Brown spe
cified that the five-acre site, one
of the most beautiful and suitable
on his land, was set aside for a
park. His widow directed that
from the assets left her, $2,000
should be used in purchase of
equipment for the park.
The County Parks Department
has matched the value of the land
and of the cash contribution to
build the beautiful and practical
park that was dedicated to the
memory of the couple. Flanking
the entrance of the park are two
millstones which ground the flour
and meal used by the early set
tlers of this region. They came
from a mill destroyed in the big
flood of 1861. It was John Amach-
er, chairman of the County Park
Board, who found them in the
Umpqua River and recovered
them. He donated them to the
park.
Devotion Cited
Stanton pointed out that Mr. and
Mrs. O. C. Brown devoted their
lives to education of the youth of
the county, and they were also
widely known as leaders in the
agricultural economy.

Blood Donors
Set A Record
"Employers gave time and em
ployes gave blood."
Such is the only answer Dr. B.
R. Shoemaker has for the fact that
for the first time since the Second
World War Roseburg residents met
the quota set for the visit of the
bloodmobile.
Blood was taken at the Elks
Temple Monday and Tuesday. The
quota for the Roseburg area was
300 pints. Donors gave 342 pints
reports Shoemaker, county Blood
mobile chairman. Mrs. Robert
Franks is co-chairman.
Merchants and professional men,
with only one exception, gave em
ployes time off, with pay, to give
blood, Shoemaker Bays. Workers
can think of no other reason, he
said, why so many more people
participated than at previous vis
its. Thirty-five would-be donors
were rejected for a number of
causes, most of which can be rem
edied in time for the Bloomobile's
next visit sometime in August, it
was stated.
Dr. Shoemaker reports that des
pite the larger attendance, more
in fact than had been expected,
the maximum time involved on the
party of any donor was 30 min
utes. Greenwalt said Du Pont pro
poses to distribute all or substan
tially all of the 63 million (hares
to Du Pont common stockholders
in three or possibly four install
ments between now and the end
of February 1965.
He said a recent law passed by
Congress will save Du Pont stock
holders from the payment of a
heavy tax in accepting the GM
stock.
Under the law, he said in let
ter mailed today to stockholders,
the market value of the GM stock
will be treated as a return of
capital to individual stockholders.
That means there will be no tax
i to the individual stockholder on
the initial or subsequent c
: tions, unless and until th
distribu-
he value
oof the GM shares exceeds the
I cost of Du Pont stock.
Buying Wave

Market Drop
NEW YORK (AP) A buying
wave poured over the stock mar
ket today, pushing prices higher
with a great burst that more
than erased the 1929-like plunge
early this week.
Evidence that institutional buy
ers were playing a prominent role
came from the size of some big
transactions in early trading.
Some prices were a little under
their early levels, however.
The Standard & Poor index of
500 stocks had risen 1.46 at 11
a.m. to 59.54, higher than last
Friday's 59.47 close.
At the same time the Dow Jones
average of 30 industrials was
ahead 9.03 to 612.99.
With the excited buying the
ticker tape ran 24 minutes behind
actual transaction, suggesting an
other day of frantic activity.
Transactions in the first hour
totaled 1,760,000 shares, almost as
heavy as during the period of sell

Key stocks jumped $3 or more.

Drive-Up Sabin
Clinic Expanded
- Because of the success of the
drive-up clinic for Sabin oral vac
cine during the first Sabin Oral
Sunday May 6, the program will
be expanded at the Douglas County
Fairgrounds at the second SOS this
Sunday.
At that time, a system of serving
the vaccine-treated sugar cubes
was rushed into operation when the
numbers of people who turned out
to get the vaccine began to in
crease rapidly.
At that time, only three lanes
of traffic were set up. At the next
Sunday clinic, six lanes will be set
up which should allow for doubling
the volume which at one time May
6 reached an average of one car
every 12 seconds.
In case of rain, covers for the
dispensing stations have been ar
ranged. Only one change has been made
in the doctors heading clinics at
five sites in the county. That
change is Dr. R. E. Williams, who
will head the Tri-City Grade School
clinic. Other directors are Dr. Har
ry VanDermark at Winston Jun
ior High, Dr. Warren Kadas at
Sutherlin's West Side Grade
School, Dr. Louis Michalek at Jo
seph Lane Junior High in Rose
burg and Dr. Daniel Halferty at
the Fairgrounds.
Assisting in the operation will be
the Douglas County Pharmaceuti
cal Association and District 11
