Taps Throughout the Land Jte 3tcwsUcwIctw Miami i 4 The News-Review, Roseburg, This year, there seems to be a resur gence In the pride of displaying the Amer ican flag. The Junior Chamber of Commerce in Roseburg has done its bit by cooperating with businesses in making certain flags are displayed on the city's streets on na tional holidays. Businesses and organi zations have added their efforts by sell ing flags at cost to make them more easily available to individual families. One of the most important of those na tional holidays with patriotic flavor ar rives tomorrow. Memorial Day is a quiet holiday during which we should Civil Defense Douglas County appears to be the best organized- and most thoroughly pre pared for civil defense among all the counties of the slate. This was the indication given last week by the beleaguered state Civil Defense organization in Salem. The directors spent four hours with county CD Direc tor Arthur Selby to hear his outline of the county program for the coming year. They indicated they were "Highly pleased" with the report. While the county organizations else where in the state have virtually disin tegrated, Selby has kept his program op erating by using a common sense ap proach! He knows the effort to secure special shelters in case of fallout are not gain ing great public acceptance. He knows that buildings so far designated as fall out shelters will handle only a few of the county's 68,000 people. So, he has been stressing education and communications. One of the educational facets is that of informing parents, teach ers and children of how to prepare for attack. Evacuation plans have been set ' up to get children home as quickly as ' possible in case of an attack which might threaten the county. "This problem has been, at all times, first priority in Civil Defense activitids in case of positive alert," Selby says. "If' parents will cooperate, we can as sure them their children will be cared for and taken to their homes promptly," THE LIGHTER SIDE: 1 1, . 'Pretty Girt Best With Flashlight By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPI) Almost anyone can dredge up something in common with Abraham Lincoln. By me, it'a eyostrain. As a lad, Lincoln used to punish his orbs doing his lessons by fire light. As an adolescent, I used to torture mine by rending Esquira magazine by flashlight. 1 was forced to resort to make shift illuminnUon owing to the fact that Esquiro wns vcrhotcn at our house. I usually Kept a contra- band copy hidden under my mattress. After I had ostensible retired for the night, I would haul it out, pull the covers over my head as a blackout curtain, switch on a flashlight and upend a tingling half-hour perusing the "Pretty girls." Until you have ogled a "Pretty girl" by flashlight, you haven't really lived. What started these memories vi brating In mv cerebrum was a news conference hold here this week by Arnold Gingrich, editor and publisher of Esquire for the past arcane.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1963 Blood ponder the price this nation paid to achieve its greatness. Memorial Day means the goal of free dom and independence has been paid for by, thousands of men and women who thought the price of life was not too great. Without their courage, we probably would never have left British sovereign ty, we may have been a German or Rus sian colony, and certainly we, would not have become the great leader of the world in protection of individual liberties. Our heritage is majestic, and nothing, it so simply, yet grandly, as he continues. The warning to parents is that they be at home to receive their children. This will assure that parents are not crowd ing the school parking lots to get their children and also makes certain the youngsters are protected when they get home. Selby insists that home is the safest place for everyone in the event of fall out or, for that matter, natural disasters. At the same time, programs in survi val and medical care are being carried on by CD through the extension and health departments. Already 100 have been graduated from survival classes and 200 from medical care classes. Candidates will be chosen later for training at the National Civil Defense School to learn radiological monitoring and decontamination procedures. The radio equipment for the county has been beefed up to allow instant com munication to all parts of the county. Thus, warning can be almost imme diate. : These are steps of common sense that can be used now. They can be used for protection in case of either war-caused or natural disaster. And because they are not grandiose or disorganized, Doug las County is just about the only county in the slate left with a program which will offer protection. Much of the credit belongs to Arthur Selby and the County Court which recog nized the merits of his down-to-earth approach.

Diego, Calif. I don't pretend to know aH thai Spain Much By ROBERT C. RUARK P ALAMOS, Spain. Serious spring has finally come to Spain. The strawberries peek pinkly from the greenery. The hoopoes those great-crested, cross-barred crea tures called "zebra birds" have flown across tile Mediterranean from Africa and are nesting in the chimney pots. The wheat waves green in the sun, and the poppies burn brightly in the wheat. The first German tourist has al ready made a mess of the beach. and the first Frenchman has . al ready wounded his automobile on the tough curve. The first English' man has succumbed to sun-poisoning, and tiie voice of the skittering compact cars is heard in the land. Roadside signs display wares and instructions in Spanish; English, French, and German. Television aerials are beginning to rear over the most ' unlikely dwellings, and Perry Mason is adapted to Span ish. Dog Grows Old It suddenly occurs to me that I have been 10 years a guest of this great country; that I have buried three dogs in the back garden, and that the puppy is 7 years old two years older than I am, com paratively, if one multiplies by sev en. I see Spain today through the eyes of strangers, because my own eyes still see the Spain I first knew. The Spain of today has mo tels and snack bars, neon lights and factory complexes, navigable farmers, after they haul their cream to town, will slop at the store and buy oleomargarine for their own use.

Modern Spain has street lights and street signs, corrupt bullfights and more corrupt bull-people. A "duro" five pesetas no longer earns its old smile as a tip. The face of Spain has changed considerably in the 10 years I've lived here. Tourism has brought uncounted millions to the coun try, and so has America in the form of its armed forces. There was nobody but me for nearly as faf as you could see when 1 first built a house. Now I am become a member of a mile-long '.suburb to the litlls fishing village of Pala mos. Palamas Small Palamos is small, but Palambs is a very hep little village. Its women dress more smartly than Parisiennes, and are vastly more handsome. The fields outside are tilled now by tractors, in some in stances. There is a handsome new cinema, some fairly brassy night clubs, and some remarkably chic boutiques. I am told the ladies' hairdresser is as good as you're apt to find in Europe. We have a new hospital and are buying a big new ambulance. Ev erybody has a bicycle now, and the people who used to have bi cycles own motorbikes. The people who used to own motorbikes now own Seats the Spanish-manufactured version of Italy's Fiat. Cow- Readers answers. I do know that our gov ernment is making too many cost ly mistakes. If it continues to take more of our income, many of us will be qualified to receive the sur plus food.

Decade paths and cart trails, once a rub ble of rock, are macadamized. When I first lit in the Costa Bra- va, signs were posted on the beach, isolating unmarried male swim mers from unmarried lemale swimmers, with the matrimomos posted safely as a buffer in the middle. Men wore tops to their bathing suits, and ladies, when en tering the village, wore skirts. Navels Show Now the beaches are a solid stretch of blinking navels, as the Bikini bathing suit has been intro duced and allowed. Women tour its, naturally strut the streets in stretch pants and short-shorts. Vast expanses of land flaunt signs pro claiming "Camping." the scourge of France and Italy and Spain. There are "Whisky Go - Gos," where the jukebox spins perpetual nasal American laments, while teen-agers (tourists) from France and Germany and England do the twist and drink cola. The girls have uniformly dirty hair, tight jeans, and boy friends with man gy beards. Barcelona's industrial slums have been leveled, and modern apartment developments reared. The apartments are just as ugly as anything in America. There are motorcycle cops on the roads now, and speed traps, and speed limits. The "No Parking" and "No Left Turn" signs have been discovered and utilized, to the greater confu sion of everybody. But there is still no juvenile de linquency, no unloved children, lit tle dishonesty, small discontent in the bright faces of the people. The I i fishing fleet still uses boats built ! after the fashion of the Phoeni-' cians, and the community sardan as still celebrate pagan festivals. Weddings, confirmations, christen ings, funerals and feast days still maintain the old elements of cele bration. I have achieved and passed mid dle age in Spain, and have been very happy here. But one grows old. I know it, for my Carmen, i who came to me with baby fat and adolescent spots 10 years ago, marries next week, leaving a hole in my house and heart.

Morrison St. Portland, Oregon Free Garage, New Location ' i block from hotel. Open to 10:00 P.M. By Charles V. Slanton Hatfield's Bill Was Killed By Fears It Was Political The Oregon Legislature killed Gov. Hatfield's proposal for a Department of Natural Resources. Thus another ses sion goes by without a unification of natural resources management which for a good many years has been pro posed as a more efficient operation for the state of Oregon. The governor's proposal did not die because there is no need for such a department. Rather it died because, in the opinions of a good many people, it was far too political in its application and permitted a return to the spoils sys tem and an opportunity for a dictatorship over one of the most important activities of our state government For myself I have no doubt con- cerning the sincerity of Gov. Hat field nor of Dan Allen, executive secretary of the Oregon Committee on Natural Resources. Both were very vigorous in their sponsor ship of the plan. Gov. Hatfield, I am positive, had no desire for dic tatorial operation. Yet he was so imbued with the desire for pass age of his measure that he per mitted an anti-sportsmen's group! to take over and to write into the amended bill provisions that would have critically impaired any rec reational program. Hatfield, him self, admitted that the bill was "barely acceptable" in the form in which it finally came lo the leg islature. Plan Should Live B.it because the proposal was beaten at this session is no reason it should be dropped. It would be my suggestion that all interested and affected groups seek during the legislative interim to come up with a more acceptable plan. I would suggest that, unless an interim committee is assigned to the job, that the Committee on Natural Resources instigate a study and that it bring into consultation all affected groups and parties and submit a tentative plan which may be revised as found desirable un til a satisfactory, or at least a reasonably satisfactory, plan is de vised. One reason the governor's pro posal had hard sledding from the start was that Hatfield failed to get reactions from afiectca groups before he went before the legisla ture. He had a plan of one-man control over all natural resources agencies and he tried to cram this plan down the throats of all con rprnprl because he thought it a eood olan. Others, however, didn't like the plan. Had they been con suited in advance, perhaps given an opportunity to help create a satisfactory program, an accepta ble department might have been devised.

REMEMBRANCE M Highest Let us make this Memorial Day a time of thought ful remembrance of those who have passed on.

DOUGLAS COUNTY State ROSEBURO OAKLAND SUTHERUN L-taoi'ihi'iiiiiiMHiiimiiTiir-11 The Editor's Corner nor's proposal came from several sources. Organized sportsmen firm ly opposed a plan that would re move the Game Commission from its present freedom from political pressures, or the adoption of a plan that would return the Game Com mission to the spoils system. Park people successfully resisted the idea of putting the state parks un der the planning department while taking money from the High way Department to finance the costs. Amendments eliminated parks from the bill. Forestry groups also were adamant. But there is good reasoning be hind a consolidated and more co operative program. Doubtless there is a way of achieving such a pro gram without making the depart ment a political plaything or pro viding opportunity for appointment of unqualified persons, simply be cause they are good party mem bers or, perhaps, have been liber al contributors.
