The Hard Way to Write Law" -In The Day's Hews- t'p. By FRANK JENKINS OVIC aae a 4 The News-Review, Rojeburg, Ore. FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1963 Let's Start City Beautif ication Band Wagon The Roseburg Chamber of Commerce has taken the first Htep in a new cam paign to beautify the city, and other groups and individuals should follow kujI. With city maintenance crews doing the work, the Chamber Thursday had colorful hanging flower baskets hung from light poles along Jackson Street. Altogether, 20 such baskets were put up, complete with artificial fuchsias, azaleas and geraniums. They were pur posely artificial to cut down on the main tenance, because a previous effort to in stall tubs along the downtown streets proved just short of disastrous. Vandals seemed to glory in breaking off magnolia trees in the tubs and pulling out shrubs, as well as using the tubs as refuse re ceptacles. In addition, merchants who were to maintain the tubs and plants, found it difficult to keep up that main tenance. The new trimmings should take care of both vandalism and maintenance prob lems. But the 20 baskets are designed to spur a far more impressive dress-up of the city. The city has been in the pro cess of putting on a new face ever since the 19.59 explosives truck blast which wrecked most of downtown. New store fronts were installed. New buildings were erected. Extensive work on downtown parks was started. Now, the major work is well on its way to completion. , , The scars of the blast have been cov ered by new motels, businesses, a new shopping center and streets. Repairs and new additions to downtown businesses have long since been finished. All in all, the town looks better than it has for years. But there's a little some thing extra needed to show that Rose burg is a proud, friendly town. The chamber's efforts in putting up the baskets was a step in that direction. A lot more of the baskets are needed. The Chamber has spent all its budget for the project. Now it is asking the busi nesses and individuals in town to extend the project. The beautification efforts shouldn't be limited to the downtown area. Everyone can take part by cleaning up their prop erty, keeping litter off the streets, estab lishing plantings to soften harsh lines of buildings, etc. Every effort, little or big, will go a long way to telling the world, Roseburg people are proud of their city. Airport Recognition Due This Weekend The feature attraction in Roseburg this weekend will be the Roseburg Air port Recognition Days and Air Show. For airplane buffs and the general pub lic alike, it promises to be a good show. The purpose of it, of course, is to in troduce pilots and the public to the facili ties Roseburg has to offer. Through some type of confusion, last year's show was canceled. This seemed to indicate a lack of interest, but this year it is coming back better than ever. Almost everyone takes the airport for granted, but it is a vital link in the econ omy of the county. This is the chance to see how it operates and the type of func tion it serves. . i v hav noted that all! lem before m-r the country politicians are I too sensitive out on limbs.

Stanton ; The Almanac Recreation Facilities Don't Get Proper Notice In State The need for parks and recreational facilities in Oregon is sadly underrated by all too many people. Tourism, both out-of-state and local, is big business. Last year Oregon's return, as estimated by the Oregon Highway Commission, was in excess of $217 million. And that ain't hay I Revenue from tourism U Oregon's third largest source of income. Timber is first, by a large margin. Agriculture second, but only by a hair. But there is a good reason lo be lieve that agriculture soon will yield second place to tourism. The income from tourism and recrea tion is spiraling. It promises to go by leaps and bounds during the next few years. Population In the southwest, par ticularly California, is booming. "Exploding" probably is a belter word. The southwest is a fine place to spend the winter, but it ia no place for a summertime vaca tion. So the residents of the south west will be hitting the trail for the cooler Pacific Northwest in increasing numbers in the years to come. Orcson, however, has a problem. Oregon is far ahead of nearly all other stales In construction of its sharo of Interstato No. 5. A motor ist can whit through the state in a very short time. We're making it sy for him to cross Oregon. If wo are to realize the potential income from tourism it will be necessary for us to find ways and means of stopping tourists, keep ing them longer in Oregon. More Needed We're doing a good job with our "Welcome" signs and activities, lint that Isn't enough. We must develop and advertise the recrea tional assets to be found in Ore gon. There, again, however, we run into trouble. All too many of our recreational spots fcre overcrowd ed now. Yet we have a tremend ous barking of places needing de velopment. The federal govern ment, which controls more than one-half our land acreage and in excess of 80 per rent of our po tential camps, picnic grounds, rec reational spots, etc., is far behind counties and stales In the matter of development. The U.S. Forest Service, it Is true, is proceeding at a snail's pace to increase the recreational facilities on federal lands. The Bu reau of Land Management is a lit tie more active in its program. One of the finnt private strides recently has been the organiia tion of the Cal Orc llecrealional 541 S E.

CORDA, however, isn't being given nearly the support it needs from the district it serves, nor is H receiving the publicity its ac tivities merit. Oregon is lagging in develop ment of its recreational assets largely because of a lack of vision. Here in Oregon we've always hail all the land we needed for hunt ing, all the waters we needed for fishing. Now we're complaining because too many people aro flocking to our resorts. Our lakes arc over crowded. A fisherman must car ry his own rock to Iho river. Our beach camps me turning people away during the peak of the sea son. Yet we find people complain ing because we're putting too much money inlo parks, playgrounds, picnic sports, resorts, etc. And while they complain, thousands upon thousands of tourist visitors pour In upon us, ready to leave dollars behind it we'll but provide them with a reasonable vacation spot and entertainment.

ABICAIL VANBUREN DEAR ABBY: My boy friend lias very cute co worker. Thev used lo cat lunch together every day away from the office. Then I put my foot down and made him prom ise he wouldn't lake her to lunch any more. Well, yesterday they were BOTH carried out of the of fice feet first with seafood poison ing. It turned out they had lunch together at a little madhouse about a mile from the office. 1 didn't know the girl had been poisoned loo until l came to drive him home from the hospital where they were taken to have their stom achs pumped. (She was just leav ing as 1 pulled up.) When I told my boy friend 1 knew that he's taken that girl to lunch again, he lied and said he "bumped into DEAR ABBY: I never bother my neighbors but they can tell you ev ery move I make. My husband works nights and sleeps days so 1 leave my back door open in case someone comes to deliver some thing. That way my husband won't have to get up to let them in.

Well, my neighbor to the south told my neighbor to the north that I bad a steady stream of men going into my bouse all the time.

Theory Of Strike Mulled By News-Review Reader To the Editor: I would like to try to Belle Crenchaw's question concern ing the "why" of a strike. This is just an effort to carry the thought a step further and give it direction. As opinion it can be debated until doomsday. First 1 want to preface my the ory with three points. My dad used to say when unions get enough power they will be as bad as the capitalists. I am not whitewashing capitalists. They undoubtedly took advantage of labor in the past. The labor union was a big factor in the development of free enter prise and the American way of life. Now to the why of it, as I see it. The days of prohibition develop ed a great number of unscrupulous men known as gangsters. Then the law was repealed and these men looked around for another sphere of exploitation. Long before this the communist party of America had started its in tricate job of infiltrating and con trolling all governments, with the ultimate end to control the world, il'his had been tried many times by ndividuals bill never before by an organization. It was going to be a long haul, and they knew it. That why they set the dale way ahead for the take-over of the last free nation, The United States of America, for the year 1972. What was more logical then, than for the underworld characters and the communists to join forc es? And what better vehicle to control the masses than the labor unions? I said this could be ar gued until doomsday so 1 will give hut one illustration. Harry Bridges has been charged with being a com I miinist. The immigration author- ities tried to deport him back to his home. The State Department blocked the move. Bridges is sti here, a foreigner and an alleged commie, running a labor union! i Again, Why? My answer is: As long us the masses (labor) follow ! blindly the directions and orders ! of a group of men who don't care one little bit about the personal welfare of the individual they con ; Irol. they will never sit down to a I conference table to work it out for 1 the good of those they represent, j After all, is one single solitary ! man representing the laboring mail at those conference tables losing one cent financially, or losing in any way? They are drawing their full salaries while the laborer is gelling a little out of an insurance fund he paid for! Yes. everyone loses. Everybody, meaning those represented, but the ones running the show haven't lost a dime hut have actually increased their power, and if they can just hold their organization together they will have plush jobs waiting when the take over comes. Khrush chev said that "Americans haven't got guts enough to stand on their own feet " And at another time "they will fall like ripe fruit when we take over." Human beings are willful crea tures, and the most successful gov ernment since recorded history. , The United Slates of America, was ' founded and has prospered under ! individual freedom. Let's get back i to that concept of more individual responsibility by refusing to back anSWer , -,. l,:flrt U Amann I mcae lui o;a nulling niiinivo,, ! laborer in the back, while claiming to be helping him! If every local ! in the West sent word saying, "set tle this week at any increase you can get; we want to work next week," everybody would go to work. We would all be better off than we will be if it drags out in definitelypossibly ending in more government control. Slacv Adams P.O. Box 247 Yoncalla, Oregon I Of these, No. 3 is the most im ! portant especially to the Repub i lican governors. At this moment in ' historv, nobody knows whom the : Republican party will choose to be iits standard bearer in the Presi dential race next year, i So I If some Republican governor ' could just come up at Miami Beach i with a diamond-studded proposal I that would sweep the governors I convention off its feet and go on j to sweep the country like a prairie i fire, he would have it made. ! The situation at Miami Beach ' this year is a good deal like the I situation M Chicago back in 1890, : when the Democrats were similar ! ly uncertain as to whom to nomi 'nate as their candidate for Presi i dent and William Jennings Bryan j came up with his famous speech j in which he said: "You shall not i crucifv mankind on a cross of j gold." The speech won him the Demo ' cratic nomination for President. j If some Republican governor ; could just hit the jackpot at Mia i mi Beach like Bryan hit it at Chi : cago 67 years ago, he'd have it I made. It's little wonder they re all giv ing their best. The prize at stake is a big one. Politics these days is full of prob lems. They have one down at Fresno, where the Western Sunbathing As sociation is holding its annual con vention at the Calyptus Grove nu dist camp near Fresno. He adds: "I've thought of asking the Fres no convention for help, but I sup pose that's out too. One of out agency's principal functions dur ing a convention is to have pretty young women fill out name cards and PIN THEM ON DELEGATES. That, you know, can be a painful procedure." Problems. Problems everywhere. It's a weird world we're living Canyonville Fire Spectators Warned By BETH CHAPPELL According to Hugh Lathrop, Can yonville city recorder, complaints from the police and the firemen have arisen because cars have been parked too close to recent fires, hindering the firemen s movements. They warn people not to congregate at the scene of a fire. Members of the Canyonville Seventh-day Adventist Church includ ing Dr. and Mrs. C. W. Campbell and family, Mrs. Rollin Folk and girls, Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Bennett, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Irwin and Mr. and Mrs. Dan Daniels, attend ed the recent Adventist camp meeting at Gladstone. Mrs. George McClane and daugh ter, Beckv, accompanied by Ter esa Cooper recently returned from a two-week vacation stay with Mrs. McClane' parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Walker of Las Vegas. They also visited Reno and toured Hoov er Dam. They're looking for a speaker. But the prospects are all shy The Mayor of Fresno who, the reporters say, seldom turns down an opportunity to make a speech begs off. "I'm no prude," he says, "but I , honestly don't think 1 could do it justice." Everybody else seems to feel the same way about it.
