'It Will Be a Shame If All You Need

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

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

' with mast transportation, he
doesn't fool around with any or
dinary subway system, which the
bulk of us commuters would be
willing to settle for.
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.

omy and welfare. 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.

Poison Utt rs Arc Urged

T The Editor:
Soma person in the area of Cres

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.

Damage Sometimes Results
From Fish Transplant. ngs
The Oregon Fish Commission has been receiving wide
spread publicity from the plan to airlift a lni-Re shipment
of shad efffrs from the Columbia River to Pennsylvania's
Susquehanna River.
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

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

STORY CORNER

of KNUOTSONS' JEWELERS .
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.
