n Sat., April 13, 1963 Th News-Review, Roseburg, Or. 3 Community News Briefs Business News m By DEAR ABBY: Everybody com plains about smokers, but nothing is ever done about them. I've had more meals- spoiled and more pleasant hours of socializing ruined by people who foul the air with cigarette and cigar smoke. Do they think they own the world? I wish someone would invent a "pipe" to be used 'in self-defense by non-smokers who wish to re taliate. It should be an instrument capable of producing great clouds of offensive smoke that would out smell any cigarette or cigar on the market. It should contain a safety valve so the user could send out this smoke without getting any of it in his own mouth. Also, tiny fans to direct the smoke away from the user and toward others. It should have an attachment that would blow ashes into food of smokers and burn neat little holes into fine furniture. If the above-described "retaliat or" is ever invented, I promise to buy the first one produced, re gardless of price. DOUG DEAR DOUG: If such an item Is ever produced, you may buy the second. I want to buy the first. DEAR ABBY: A dog worship per has been leading his dog, routinely, to my front yard.

Russell, who has spent the last week there visit ing another daughter. Mrs. Russell went to North Bend the first of the 'week especially to attend a concert that evening. Mrs. Russell recently moved here from Phoe nix, Ariz., and is making her home in the Luoma duplex on SE Chadwick St. A letter from Fitchburg, Mass., reads, 'JI have heard that the cor rect play at rubber bridge and at match point duplicate is not the same. Can you give an example?" Today's hand is one. South ar- NORTH - IS A A2 J32 80 A109874 WEST EAST AQJ109 A653 V 954 . VKQ107 Q7 KJ1042 J653 2 SOUTH (D) AK874 V A86 A953 KQ - Both vulnerable South West North East 1N.T. Pass 3N.T. Pass Pass Pass Opening lead A Q rives at a normal three no-trump contract on standard, simple bid ding. West has an automatic queen of spades lead and South should win the trick with his king and go right after the club suit. At rubber bridge he plays the king of clubs and then overtakes his queen with dummy's ace. He knows that he is probably giving up a trick by this play but he needs only five club tricks for game and rubber and he wants to guard against the possibility that clubs will break 4-1. It is a wise precaution. If he fails to overtake the queen of clubs he will wind up with only seven tricks. His opponents will collect a 200-point penalty and the rubber will still be going on. In duplicate, declarer has a real problem. He will recognize the safety play, but he will probably decide against it and go down. His reasoning will be along these lines "Evervone else will be in the same three no-trump contract and will probably get the same opening lead. The odds are against a 4-1 club break. Therefore, why should I give up a trick in order to play safe." In duplicate, extra tricks are worth extra risk. Umpqua River Summer Water Outlook Poor A slim snowpack in the region watersheds will result in a short stream supply for the Umpqua River in 1963. This is the forecast of Bob L. Whaley, snow survey supervisor for the Soil Conservation Service. Whaley said the outlook for the 1963 irrigation season in the Rogue Umpqua area is varied, but stor age will save the day for the ma jor irrigation districts. Other irri gators, dependent upon the na tural flow of streams, can expect very little water past the middle of summer. March Storms Helped March storms produced good ad ditional snow at high elevations but did not reduce the huge deficit in the snowpack which is at a record low. Water content of the snow on April 1 is 28 per cent average, he said. The North Umpqua River below Lemolo reservoir is forecast at 48 per cent average or very similar to the runoff in the dry year of 1941. Oregon Stale University, the Oregon state engineer and others cooperate in the watershed study. Forecasts are made on the as sumption that average conditions of temperature and precipitation will occur during the forecast pe riod. Outlook Bleak Statewide, Oregon is beginning its 1963 irrigation season with an extremely poor water supply out look for lands served from direct strea inflow. In contrast, most lands served from stored water I supplies will have sufficient water j for most crops. I March storms brought heavy ; snow to the Cascades and highest areas of Eastern Oregon but fail j ed to make up for the huge deficit in the record-low snowpack. Many reservoirs are likely to be com pletely drained this season leaving no carry-over water for next year.

Roseburg Appraiser Guest Speaker At Eugene Meeting Guest speaker at the March 28 meeting of the Eugene chapter of the Society of Real Estate Ap praisers was Roseburg appraiser, John Fleck.

The meeting held at the new Country Squire Restaurant and Motel was attended by a large group of representatives from banks, savings and loan companies, utility companies, appraisers and real estate brokers, having special interest in real estate values and modern appraisal techniques. As fee appraiser lor numerous clients including F.H.A. the - Federal V. A. and the State of Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs, Fleck has received wide acclaim as having one of the finest ap praisal plants in the state. In addition to explaining the step-by-step procedure for devel oping an "appraisal plant," Fleck'i remarks included comment on the tremendous burden placed on the highly-ethical, well-informed, con scientious appraiser in todays ap praisal work. "Never before in history, has the appraiser been asked to estimate value with the degree of accuracy, SERVICES EASTER WORSHIP SERVICE 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. o C0NTATA- Anthem of the Ages o SERMON -The Glory of Easter Shortened Sunday School 9:45 a.m. FIRST CHURCH . ..NAZARENE Robert Ds Hempel, Minister Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fabian and children have returned to their home here, following a two weeks vacation trip to Phoenix, Ariz., where they visited Mrs. Fabian's mother.

In Baldwin Park they visited their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Elaine) Plumlee, and small son, David, and in Glen dale, Calif, they visited his brother, Fred Serafin. They returned home Thursday. as is expected of him today. To day's appraiser is asked to make an estimate of value, calling for a degree of accuracy,, that would justify a lender making a 97 per cent or 100 per cent mortgage loan. Such accuracy obviously leaves little or no margin for error. This is almost beyond the comprehen sion of the appraiser of yester year. "The science of appraising to day, in spite of its advanced tech niques, has not, to date, and may never develop into a perfect sci ence, so perfect as to be 100 per cent accurate. Nonetheless, todays competent appraisers, students of the appraisal science, continue re lentlessly, striving toward this goal, constantly improving the var ious techniques, as well as the appraisal process. One of the im portant advancements toward this goal, said Fleck, is the develop ment of the modern appraisal plant." Fleck presented a similar pro gram for the Southern' Oregon Chapter of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers, last fall. Also, tentatively scheduled is an appear ance before a like group in Pendle ton, later in the spring. Hanna Co. Report Upholds GSA Stockpiling Contracts The Hanna Mining Co.'s con tracts "resulted in the lowest cost nickel and involved the most ef ficient use of the least govern ment money, either per pound of nickel bought or per pound of capacity created." This statement, attributed to George M. Humphrey, is contain ed in the company's annual re port referring to the nickel mining and smelting property operation at Riddle. Jt refers to the report of an investigation during 1962 by the Stockpiling Subcommittee of the Senate Armed Services Commit tee into the company's stockpiling contracts with the General Serv ices Administration. Hearings on the contracts were conducted in August and in Octo ber. During these hearings, the report says, disputes arose be tween government and company witnesses over the legal and ac counting principals to be applied under the contracts. Claims were made by government witnesses that certain expense costs should have been capitalized. The Gener al Services Administration has re cently requested the company to repay $1,816,958 on this account. As we testified before the sub committee, we vigorously deny the validity of this claim and firm ly believe bur accounting proced ures were entirely in order," the report states. "All of our accounts were subject to annual audit ay our independent certified public accountants, Ernst & Ernst, and were also reviewed by the General Accounting Office and periodically by the General Services Adminis tration." The report says, "Our view of the issues raised by the investiga tion was clearly set forth by George M. Humphrey in his testi mony before the subcommittee Subsequent testimony regard ing the nickel expansion program of the government confirms his statement that, of all the transac tions the Government made for this purpose, the Hanna con tracts resulted in the lowest cost nickel and involved the most ef ficient use of the least govern ment money, either per pound of nickel bought or per pound of capacity created.

The Riddle properties operated at capacity throughout the year, producing 21,139,000 pounds of con tained nickel, the company says. This was the first time in which the entire sales were made com mercially and the product became solidly established in the market. Temporarily slackened demand in the fourth quarter gave an oppor tunity to establish a desirable lev el of warehouse inventories in Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago and Kiddle. , Winners Of Prizes In Contest Listed Runner up winners in the Queen for 30 Days contest recently con cluded by Byrd's Low Cost Market have been announced.
