'It Will Be a Shame If All You Need Is a Bandaid" In The Day's Hews- dit By FRANK JENKINS 4 Th Nawt-IUview, Reieburj, Or. Roseburg's civic leaders are greatly concerned with the proposal to curtail airline service in and out of Roseburg. West Coast Airlines, which provides Roseburg with local air schedules, has requested permission to cut its stops to one-half. There is grave danger that the service eventually will be halted entirely. Roseburg. however, is not alone as it faces the threat of reduced air service. West Coast already lias eliminated some former stops and is seeking to get rid of other stations where the operation isn't profitable. Several reasons exist for this changing phase of commercial aviation. One reason is found in bigger and bet ter planes which, however, ' can't land and take off in limited areas, and which are more profitable on long runs. Anoth er factor is improved highways reduc ing the need for air transportation. Then, too, the federal government gives a healthy subsidy to local service lines. It would like to reduce this expense. Poor transportation is one of Rose burg's greatest handicaps. A quick look at the business and indus trial structure will show that successful sites are those with transportation com petition. Big business and industry shun areas lacking competition between rail lines or between rails and water. Aside from the airline, people can reach Roseburg only on buses or private automobiles. A few years ago Roseburg was threat ened with elimination of the Veterans Hospital here because inspectors, who travel chiefly by air, lost two days on their inspection trip. With the coming of West Coast Airlines the threat disap peared. But what will happen if West Coast eliminates Roseburg from its schedules? This country has 13 local service air lines. They serve some 600 cities. Routes extend more than 46,000 miles. They re ceive almost $70 million in federal sub sidy.. , ' ' ' But, as highways improve, the need for air transportation decreases. West Coast Airlines has been a most valued contributor to Roseburg's econ THE LIGHTER SIDE: 9 By DICK WIST WASHINGTON (UPI) - Most of the great cities of America suffer from a chronic metropoli tan malady known as hardening of the traffic arteries. It ii generally agreed that un less something is done the na tion's urban areas will eventual ly succumb to an attack of thor oughfare thrombosis. It also is generally agreed that the only solution to the problem lies in the Improvement of mass transportation. I am not aware of what meas ures other cities are taking, but I am pleased to report that the nation's capital Is acting with alacrity, or, putting It another wnv, is forging ahead to a stand still. Seldom a month goes by that some government or private agency doesn't bring out an il lustrated brochure that provides an artist's concept of a mass transportation system for Wash ington. Copies are sent to Congress and the White House, where of ficials look at the pictures and exclaim "isn't that Interesting brush work!" Then the traffic department changes the direction of one-way streets again, and that takes care of mass transportation until the next brochure is issued. The feverish pare that has made Washington the top U.S. city in the development of mass transportation brochures already is producing beneficial results. Kor one thing, it provides em ployment for a large number of artists. For another, it gives mo torists something to read while they are waiting for traffic to be come unjammcd. The latest brochure to come to my attention takes the form of a report to President Kennedy from O. Roy Chalk, head of the local transit company and lead ing builder of air castles.

Chalk's brochure provides an artist'a concept of mass trans portation by means of "pneu matic tube systems," "ground ef fect machine a," "superails," "monobeams," "hydrofoils" and "carveyors." I'll tell you It makes mighty fine reading, especially when you are waiting for ont of Chalk's buses to show up. "1 don't know what President Kennedy's reaction to the bro chure was, but I'll bet he liked it, ton. I imagine he particularly admired the drawing of the hy drofoil, which looks something like a PT boat. As for me, my favorite is the "monnbeam," although I think that is a typographical error. I think Chalk intended it to be "moonbeam." 1 can see us all now, whisking around the capital, to and from the suburbs, on moonbeams. The use of moonbeams for transportation implies, of course, that we could only ride at night, which would be a serious draw back. Rut I expect someone will solve that problem in the next brochure. 3n 2)ayj Tahiti Item the film 41 YIARS AGO July, 1), 153 The Itoseburg Baseball team went to Springfield todav to plav with the team of that city.

Yet. as the freeway has been built, public use of the airline has declined until Roseburg is danger ous! v near the "use-it-or-lose-it" policy limits of the Civil Aeronautics Board. When one considers a West Coast flight from Rosebun? to Portland, going hv wav of the North Bend dogleg, he finds he can drive a car to downtown Portland over the freeway in almost the same time taken bv the plane including the trip in from the airport. And that leads to another factor. . West Cosst inaugurated its service with (he DC-3. This airplane is the so-called "workhorse" of the aviation industry. It is used for many purposes. It is rdative v slow. It can get in and out of short fields. It is safe and sturdy. But it is being renlaced with faster and moi'e comfortable planes. West Coast, for example, is switching lo the F-27, a prop-jet job, with pressur ized cabin. It is a more comfortable plane, travels much faster than the DC-3, but can't get in and out of small fields nearly so easily and Roseburg's field barely meets CAB standards. It is getting impossible to keep DC-3's in the air. They are no longer being made. As parts wear out, users are finding re placement to be extremely difficult. It will not be long until they no longer will be in service for carrying passengers. At the same time the airlines, which started out as local carriers, are consoli dating and are extending their coverage. The federal government is encouraging air competition into the larger cities and also is seeking to reduce subsidies. The answer probably is to be found in the development of small planes or heli copters that will provide a service the airlines rapidly are shucking off. Nearly all of our major airports today have heli copter service to surrounding communi ties. Perhaps this eventually will be Rose burg's answer to the air transportation problem. In the meantime we can only keep our fingers crossed, hoping that West Coast can fill what seems to be a diminishing need until something more satisfactory can be found. Reader Opinions Poison Utt rs Arc Urged To Ba Mora Cartful T The Editor: Soma person in the area of Cres cent Ave. and Dixon St. is putting out a very strong poison, f can't figure the reason for the poison, but would urge the persons or per sons doing this to get some other kind of poison. I'm sure they would do so if thev could have watched, as I did, twii nine nigger squirrels suffer acute agony for more than 24 hours. One died. Finally I couldn't stand the pitiful cries of the other tinv thing, so I took it to a veterinarian to have it put to sleep. If any of our pets, such as our cats or dogs, should accidentally get some of this poison, the own ers might become quite angry. I keep my dog at home and I do not have a cat, hut our neighbors have pets. So U Wnitlrt lirON llmcA niillmn out this dreadful poison please to be careful. Surelv there is some thing on the market that wouldn't cause innocent animals to suffer so agoniringly for so manv hours. Watching and hearing tlieir suf fering is a horrible experience. Of course, I'm assuming that t h e party responsible for the poison has some sort of compassion for something or someone less capable of thinking of these poisons. M. Kent 1189 N.K.

This transplanting of fish stocks has been practiced for many years. In some cases the transplant has been suc cessful. In other cases the "donor" has been most critical ly damased, ns, for example, the Umpqua River. Between 1900 and 19-14 the Kish Commission moved many millions of spring chinook salmon esgs from the Umpqua. The greatest damage was between 1926 and 19-12 when some 34-million eggs were taken from the watershed and moved to other waters. Upstream migration of salmon was stop ped at Rock Creek. The first racks for ournose of! taking chinook salmon eggs to re- plenish or revive other streams of Oregon started as far back as 1900. In the year 1914 the Kish Com mission relieved the Umpqua of more than 7-million eggs. During the five years from 1914 to 1919 the outgo amounted to more than 34-million eggs. Hacks were shift ed from place to place and did not entirely halt upstream migration until 1926. In that year permanent racks were built at rtock Creckl'KW from the Umpqua ever did! and rompletelv blocked the stream. ! n.v Rood, it is well known that Mother Nature provides a cvclc many species of fish have heen ! whereby salmon spawn and die. i successfully moved from one area j Their carcasses remain in cold; to another.

That there might be an open fact tha, in (he5e davs we are Dreak oetween cmnese communism Neither has come to pass yet. In Washington, President Ken nedy announced late Wednesday that there would be no rail strike at midnight. The nation's railroads and their operating unions, he said, had accepted a Presidential pro posal for a delay until July 29 in the nationwide rail strike that had been threatened by the dispute over work rules. The President, after meeting with both parties, said they would accept the good offices of a spe cial board made up of six mem bers of his labor-management ad visory committee. The board, he said, will make a comprehensive review of 'the work rules change dispute and will send a report to congress on July 22, along with Presidential recommendations for any legislation needed to resolve the four-year-old case. In the meantime, the railroads will withhold action to put into ef fect the new work rules and the unions will call off the strike which they had said would follow the put ting into effect of the new rules. The President said, in making I his announcement, that he would I request NO FURTHER truce.. What of the communist ruckus?

A tuning fork, some transistors, electro magnets, resistors, a bat tery, and lots of wires insulated in various plastic sheathing colors, all crammed into a metal pill shaped container smaller in dia meter than a half-dollar and onlv about twice as thick, make up the works of the Accutron timepiece. In a blaze of semantics, the Ac cutron is claimed not to be a ofiwaicn, since watches are mechan ical, nui simply a timepiece. Per haps a certain amount of semantic license is admissable, since the Accutron is really a most remark able timepiece. For example, its manufacturer, the Bulova Watch Company, guarantees the watch to run within one minute per month variation in timekeeping. This ac curacy is assured by the humming ticking, by holding the timepiece ! close to one's ear. The vibration of the tuning fork, no larger than the end of a paper match, is trans lated to the teeth of a ratchet wheel with teeth so fine that the human eye sees the teeth only as a perfectly smooth surface on the wheel. All of the electronic marvels of miniaturization are crammed into this little packase that will run with less than 12 minutes varia tion in one year on one battery the size of an aspirin tablet Accutron is, in a way, part of the conquest of space! Passing overhead countless times in the Explorer VII Satellite, it repre- , sents the first and only timing de vice that could be left untended millions of miles in space. Minia turization of an extremely accur ate timing device for the Snace Agency was actually more of an impetus to the development of Ar- cutron than the desire by the Bui- jova Watch Company to make a I new timepiece of this quality and accuracy.
