4 The Nawt-Rtview, Roseburg, Or: Vote For Now it's your turn. For many months now, the Roseburjc Sister City Committee has been jfrap 'plins: with the problem of findinj? just the 'right foreign city to be Roseburjr's sister city in the nation-wide People to People program. ; It has argued about areas of the iworld, conducted thorough studies, and Wen contacted other American cities to determine the success of their sister city pi'Pirrams. I Finally, last month, the committee decided the sister city for Roseburg Should be one from Latin America. Aft er some more discussion, it selected five countries from which the city will be picked. They are Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Jlexico and Uruguay. All of these were discussed in a series of five articles in The News-Review Monday through Fri fjiiy of last week. Three limes this week, today, Wed The Douglas County Water Resources Advisory Committee needs some help. Two of its members, Gen. Curtis Beecher and Bernard Young of Rose burg, have been put in charge of deter mining whether or not irrigation water would be used if a dam were constructed on the South Umpqua. To do this, they must contact proper ty owners and' have them fill out ques tionnaires indicating whether or not they would irrigate and how much land would be irrigated. But it's just more than two men can handle. They have asked property own ers in the area to help them distribute these questionnaires. . The importance of the project is to $&ke the information available as soon as-, possible to the Bureau of Reclama tion. When this information is secured, the Bureau will make its decision on whether or not to make a feasibility study on the South Umpqua River for a possible dam at Tiller. This would be supplemental to studies being made by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The feasibility study is the last to be made before Congress decides whether or not it will provide money for the project. So, It's a mighty important job. In The Day's News - By FRANK Well- Aflcr the longest session In its history,' the Oregon legislature fi nally adjourns and Us members held for home probably grateful ' to get there aftor a session that is remindful of (lie quarrels of the famous Kilkenny cats. It was a rough go-around. . Question: Why was the session so lonq! This answer occurs: The legislators had raised their own salaries rather consider ably. Perhaps they felt that in view of the higher pay they ought to work longer. Mother question: Were tho legislators worthy or tholr greater hire? .There will be differing opinions. Bill, at least, the 11W3 Oregon legis lature embarked on no new and fabulously expensive ventures. There is reason to hope that the OrH'on budget will be balanced. That Is something. JVhile we are making up our minds as to whether the Oregon legislativt session that has Just ended was good or bad, let's talk about TOURISM, which is edging up toward Oregon's No. 2 Industry. ., On that interesting subject, the San' Francisco Chronicle said the other day: "San Krancisco'a reorganiicd and augmented Convention and Visitors Bureau ... has set out in gain more visitors to San Fran.

"When It is considered that each of these dollars turns over be tween ten and 20 times, tourism Is seen to be already a billion dollar local Industry." What or Oregon? We didn't do too badly up this way. During the 1962 tourist season. 9,225,558 out-of-state tourists, trav eling in 2.804,flo automobiles, put $217,000,000 NEW DOLLARS into local circulation in Oregon. If each of these NEW DOLLARS turned over only five times, it means (to use the Chronicle's eco nomic reasoning) thai in Oregon totirlsn is ALREADY a billion dol lar industry. 3n dbaijd Cjone (J3ij Takan from th flits of the Nawi Review 40 YEARS AGO June 17, m The pmposition of securing a city garbage collector is being discuss ed this week by a committee of lo cal citlr.cns.

Their purpose is to elicit from readers of the newspaper their feelinirs on which country should be chos en. With these ballots is a space for any reasons the voter might have in selecting a country. This way, the Sister City Committee can draw conclusions on the kind of sup port it can expect from the community and discover reasons it might have over looked. When the ballots are all in to Com mittee Chairman Pete Serafin, they will be tabulated and appraised by the com mittee as the determining factor in nam ing the country. Then, the committee will get down to the job of finding a city. Chairman Serafin emphasized today that the vote isn't just limited to ppople in the city limits. Anyone in the Rose burg metropolitan area may lake part in the voting. The most recent study completed on the river by the bureau indicates a dam at Tiller and a series of canals for dis tribution of irrigation water. These would be as follows: 1. Canyonville Canal supplied by a pumping plant below Reals Creek and running west along the foothills south of the river to the vicinity of O'Shea Creek near Canyonville. 2. Days Creek Canal supplied by a pumping plant near Stinger Creek and running easterly along the foothills north of the river and up Days Creek. 3. Myrtle Creek Canal supplied by pump plant and running northeast alonf the foothills to and crossing South and North M.v'tle Creeks (near Bilger Creek) and ending west of Bilger Creek. 4. Green Canal supplied by a pump ing plant near the Roberts Creek Water District plant and running northeast along the foothills to the east of Shady Point freeway interchange. 5. Riversrinle Canal supplied by a pump plant north of Calkins Road and running north along the foothills to a point east of the Roseburg Country Club. All other areas would be served by pumping directly from the river. Reader Opinions Accident Victim Seeks Reasons Causing Theft To The Editor: On Juno 2 I had an automobile accident. Only myself and my car were injured. But the most peculiar thing happened' 1 was unconscious when discov ered and taken to the hospital. Incidentally, I couldn't have had belter care or more friendly treat ment. However, when 1 rcgainod con sciousness enough to make an es timate of my position, found my billfold, containing all my identifi cation papers, had disappeared. At first, 1 thought nerhans it had just been lost in the wreck, for the car was a total loss. 1 probably would have continued to think this, but on the day, June II, 1 returned home from the hos pital 1 received in the mail a plain white envelope, addressed to me in pencil. My name and address were print ed. The envelope was postmarked at Winston the morning of June 10. Inside the envelope were the cards from my billfold, torn into four and five pieces. All pieces were not included, but enough to identify all the cards. Mv billfold was a new black leather one I had purchased only a few weeks ago at llolgates here in Sutherlin. It contained between eight and nine dollars, and. in ad dition to tile cards which were returned to me in pieces, had sev eral of my printed business cards in il. I am completely at a loss In understand the mentality that would lead someone to steal from an unconscious person, to tear up identity cards, and then to mail the pieces to the victim. The law seems uninterested. If anyone who reads this has any answers, I'd like to hear them. F.lhelvn M Kincher HI, 1, Rox 421 Sutherlin, Ore.

RUARK Man named Cummings who works for the London Daily Ex press had a fine and naughty car toon the other day. It showed Brit tania wearing a wicked wink and little else, She was got up as a can-can giii, was kicking high, while scandals and resignations flopped from her stocking tops, and her shield was blazoned with the word "models." At the bottom of Miss Britain's ivory tower was a family of blush ing Frenchmen, with l'apa and Mama hiding the children's eyes. Tho title was "Visitcz 1'Anglcterre le 'can-can' Anglais." Which about sums it up. It is still popular to refer to England as "the ,staid little isle," but of recent years it has produced a sizable Sodom and an ambitious Gomorrah, with overtones of Chi cago in the '20s and Harlem in the present. Without doubt, the British penny press is the most sensation al in the world in its chronicling of the high jinks of the suddenly unrepressed. British Don't Blush What the American press hints at, the British spell out. What the Americans sometimes hush, the British leap on with joyous screams as soon as the dirt becomes priv ileged through court action or for mal charges. The recent Frofumo scandal combined assault, misce genation, charged pregnancy and intimated abortion, venereal di sease, the call-girl business, ab ducted witnesses. ja7.i musicians, assault wilh deadly weapons, sim ple adultry, bathroom photographs of husband, wife and third party (obviously taken by a fourth par ty), blackmail, society osteopaths, secret service, secret rendezvous, suspected Russian spies, the Minis ter of War. John I'rofumo, and his wife, screen star Valerie llobson, calvpso music and sunny Spain. All this was background to the sim nle fact that I'rofumo admitted that he lied In Parliament about whether or not he had been inti mate with Chrisine Keeler, w h o was charged in court by a witness with being a call-girl when she was 17. Laboritei Stirred This tasty dish, which was set be fore the queen and as hurridly withdrawn as I'rofumo was allow ed to tender his resignation by proxy, stirred up the Laborites and threatened not only to lose the next elections for the Tories, but sum moned Prime Minister Macmillan home from Scotland to keep his government from toppling on the spot. The British may not cut up oft en, but when they do. oh. hoy! The lipsmaeking Protumo mess came hard on the heels of the Argyll divorce hearings, which contained feelthy pictures of the Duchess and headless friend enter ed in evidence, three named cor respondents, diaries riper than any thing since the Mary Astor hear ings, citations of breaking and en tering, cross-complaints, divorce background of mutual adultry, fiery castration of the Duchess as an insatiable loose-mnraled lady, by Milord Justice himself, plentiful pornography, and a testimony that would have been banned from the Atlantic Ocean.

On top of this the, court proceedings alone cost about, $150,000. j Innuendo Great There has been a running sea of accusation and innuendo of homo sexuality in high places, and a vcrtible box score of prominent children being born a few weeks after their parents married. The words "decree nisi" occupy more paper space that reports of rain. The doings of Richard and Liz have literally been backed off the pages by the conduct of the local gentry, in office and out. No doubt exists that Britain's murders are among the most col orful in the world, dating back to Jack the Kipper and continuing for ward to sweet old doctors who poison patients and nice old boys like Mr. Christie, rest his 'horti cultural soul, who planted his de funct girl friends among the pe tunias, for future reference. Britain has made a whole cult Man And Space Gemini Called By ALVIN B. WEBB JR. CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) The U.S. space agency already is calling its new Gemini orbital ship the "Space-age DC3." A more somber suspicion is that it may turn out to be a space-age dir igible. By way of familiarization, a quickie lesson in aviation history is in order. The DC3 is an air plane popularly referred lo as the "gooney bird." Its illustrious life is perhaps best summed up by the ex-pilot who called the DC3 simply "the best damned plane ever buill." The dirigible, for those too young to recall, was an exotic but j highly unconventional form of air travel that was the rage in the 1 1930s. Essentially, it was a bal : loon hoisted by lighter than-air j gas. Its career was shortened by I its own dead end weaknesses and by the winged airplane. A DC3 - versus - dirigible com parison of the two-man Ciemini space capsule would seem a bit premature, inasmuch as it has not even gotten off the ground and will not for another year or so. But space agency administra tor James E. Webb marie the DC.1 remark, so it bears discus sion. Next on Program Project (iennni is America's next step in manned conquest of space. Its initial task will be to lift two-man teams of astronauts into earth orbits for periods of up to two weeks, to try out techniques that will be important , in later flights to the moon, j Now, it seems, the space agen cy has started hitching Gemini to : another long - neglected program. an earth-orbiting manned space station. There is a vision of Gem ini capsules shuttling men to and from a giant space laboratory on a regular schedule thus, the spare-going DC3.

Influx Heavy The heavy influx of Jamaicans has brought a certain Caribbean flavor to the staid little isle, as well as a taste for the kind of tea which is sold in sticks instead of cups. The Teddy boys wear metal toed shoes, the better to kick their victims. Weekends in the country are still subject to all the old cliches of room-and-spouse swap ping. The remark I liked best recent ly was from a curcumspect Brit ish expatriate, who offered a rather desperate pride of race. "At least, we're colorful," he said, said, which must lie the under statement of the year. (Copyright. 1963 by United Featura Synd.. Inc.) Space - Age DC3 drastic improvements are made, the goings and particularly the comings of Gemini capsules at the earth level will require upwards of 20.000 men per shot. The prob lem is one of recovering the as tronauts. Criticize Capsule There were many on the tech nical and engineering level who criticized the Mercury capsule, particularly for its bell-shaped construction that required a re turn by parachute a compara tively inaccurate method of land ing. And these were disappointed when the Gemini capsule turned out to be a Mercury capsule only bigger. They saw the same tech nical deficiencies the blunt shaped configuration, the para chute landing. This may be the dead-end weak ness that will send the Gemini spaceship the way of the dirig ible eventually. Report On Study Gemini's hopes for a future as a space-age DC3 were hardly en hanced by a recent study by sci entists of the Ford .Motor Co. Their work centered on methods of re entering the atmosphere aft er space journeys. The scientists concluded, aiming other points, that a wingless craft, of which Gemini is one. needed "a reentry path along a precise corridor" and that "a slight variation could either plunge the vehicle into the at mosphere too quick, burning it up. or bounce it away into an endless trip through space." On the other hand, they said, a spaceship with some sort of wings "would require a less pre cise re entry corridor, increasing certainty that reentry could be accomplished successfully." Things with wings, it seems keep winning. Dirigibles didn't have them. Nei ther do Gemini capsules.

The "school," however, is "something different," ac cording to the National Lumber Manufacturers Association. This back-to-school movement is designed to learn new things about one of man's oldest and most honored building materials, wood. These so-called "schools" are actually classes held periodically to study various factors connected with the use of wood in the manv phases of construction, supply, etc. For centuries man has used wood to build his homes, schools and other structures. Until comparatively recently, however, there was little change in products manufactured from wood. We erected many wooden school buildings throughout the country. The older buildings were multiple storied. We had some terrible tragedies when buildings caught fire and. escape was blocked off. As a result we began insisting that school buildings must be con structed of fireproof materials. In these days, however, we have ceased constructing multi-storied schoolhouses. Now we purchase a large tract of land, affording am ple playground space, and we erect rambling buildings only one story high. Exits Important The fire safety of a school build ing depends not so much on the combustibility of the materials used as on the availability of exits. Despite this fact, we're still build ing our schoolhouses vom steel and concrete. Tests, however, show that heavy timber beams have superior supporting strength when compared with comparable steel beams and subjected to heat and fire. mil promoting use of wood in i school buildings is not the major Mr. and Mrs. James E.

One class may be conduct ed by the owner of a lumber yard; another by a professor of forestry from a nearby university. The majority of lecturers are drawn from the industry itself and are specialists in their assigned sub jects. Major topics include-new wood products and new methods pf ap plying existing products; the in herent properties of wood, both practical and esthetic; fire insur ance rates applicable to wood, con struction; advantages of wood over competitive materials; lumber grades and sizes; building codes; service to the customer; fabrica tion, and similar subjects. Insurance Stressed Considerable stress is being plac ed on insurance rates, it is report ed. Because of our previous experi ences, fire insurance rates are higher on wood than on concrete, masonry or steel. But, as new and safer construction methods arc ap plied to the use of wood, rating bureaus arc beginning to make sub stantial reduction in rates on wood construction. , The so-called "schools" have a basic format, the association re ports, but courses may be varied according to the immediate needs of each locality.
