    Local Kiwanians Invite Participation
In Plan To Promote Pee Wee Baseball
Roseburg Kiwanis Club first vice
president lildon F. Caloy today
said persons in the outlying areas
(outside the Koseburg city limits)
who wish to help develop a means
of participation in the Pee Wee
baseball program for boyi in their
areas are urged to meet with hi
wanis officials.
Interested parties may contact
Caley for an appointment to dis
cuss the program with the Kiwanis.
It was announced Thursday the
program would have to be cur
tailed unless financial support from
the outlying areas could be obtain
ed. The program will center around
children who live in the city, be
cause the bulk of the funds, about
$2,000, have been donated by the
city.
Announcement of the impending
curtailment came after the Rose
i burg School Budget Committee vot
ed against holding a special elec
tion to determine if the schools
should offer financial support to
the program this year, tentative
plans were made by the School
; Hoard, however, to put the is-
jsue of summer recreation up for
election next year.
I The School Board last year pro
vided $4,200 for the program, but
! decided to withdraw its support
this year because it was not sure
the schools should spend money al
located for school activities on non
school recreation.
The Kiwanis Club is left in Ihe
position of wanting to include as
many boys as possible in the pro
gram, but not having enough funds
to continue on the scale of last
year's program. The 1962 program
featured eight fields of play, taking
in over 600 boys and costing some
$7,000.
Including the grant of $900 in
salary for an administrator made
by the School Hoard Wednesday
night, the Kiwanis have less than
$4,000 for tins year s program.

Sale Of 19 Tracts
Postponed By BLM
The Bureau of Land Manage

necessary today to postpone sale
of 19 tracts of BLM-administered
timber in the county from May 24
to May 28.
The sales are being advertised
in the legal advertising section of
tracts, containing a considerable
amount of Columbus Day blow
down timber, will be sold at the
same time and place but on Ihe
later date. The reason for the
change was a conflict with another
series of sales of county timber in
the Coos Bay district. These sales
were given priority. They, too, in
clude blowdown timber. By con
ducting the sales on the same day,
bidders might have conflicts if they
wished to bid on sales in both
