it o pi a I a Talk Business That Fellow's From -In The Day's News- Internal Revenue By FRANK JENKINS 4 , The News-Review, Roscburg, Lack Of Committee Proves A traffic safety analysis evaluated by :the city of Roseburg this week showed a glaring weakness in the city's traffic safety program. It has no citizens organization to com bat traffic accidents. For this reason, a generally good showing was knocked down considerably. - The over-all showing in the analysis "made through the efforts of the National .Safety Council was 52 per cent. This is the average of eight different areas of traffic safety considered by the council. Roseburg did well in all but "citizen organization for traffic safety improve ment." In this area, it was rated 5 per .pent. What this meant was that Roseburg was completely devoid of such an organ ization. ' We have organizations for almost ev ery other kind of problem there is. But we have failed to take any action in one of our most distressing areas. In a discussion at the City Hall, offi cials began looking into the possibilities of reactivating some type of citizens group. It would be designed to take in the Roseburg metropolitan area. ":. The purpose of the organization would be to support official traffic safety pro grams. Several county traffic safety groups .have been formed in the past, but, per haps, the apathy of the public to their efforts led to their dissolutions without fanfare. One of the most spectacular efforts by ,a citizens group was the establishment 'some years ago of "Death Row." Under the direction of then-district attorney, Opinions From Readers Reader Calls For 'Y As Teeners' Home Base To The Editor: As an editorial last week sug gested, some interested people have been talking in favor of the YMCA being developed into a bet ter youth center for all teen-agers. Why wouldn't this be the perfect place to really make a "Home Base" for the teen-agers? It should have a snack bar,, dance floor, table tonnis, ping pong, tennis and a quiet room for television, read ing and writing. 'I am sure there arc enough de pendable teen-agers to schedule tjirec four-hour shifts per day to man a snack bar, register others and to handle (ho various jobs themselves. Workers could be ro tated each day, thus giving all a chance to work. Let the boys handle the improve ment of the grounds, lawn, shrub bery, etc. With somo adult super vision provision could be mado for buying food, operation of the snack bar, organization of work crews, and providing chapcrone schedule. Chaperoncs should he a different couple each day, as the young peo ple don't -want the same faces watching them each day. The "Y" should be open until 11 p.m. each day except Friday and Saturday nights when it should continue unUl midnight. Friday should be junior high school night, and Saturday should be senior high school night. I believe the young people would like to have their own dance bands for these two nights. A minimum of 25 cents should be charged for all teen-agers, ex cept the ones scheduled to work that day, with privilege of all the facilities. The income from Uic snack bar and charge to teen - agers would surely pay all expensos. Volunteer service by the young people would help give them experience in re sponsibility together with an at titudc of doing something worth' while, proving their ability to han dle adult jobs. Actually, are not the young peo ple who stay out after hours and escape from parental supervision simply trying to prove, at least to themselves, that they're grownups? Let's put all this worthwhile ener- j gy to work and let the young pco- i pie prove what they can do. I certainly would help get such!""' sex offenses during July, the j a program started. I bet there are enough Camp Fire leaders, Boy Scout leaders, PTA members, "Y" hoard members, swim instructors, 'first aid instructors available to .help and to schedule themselves once a month as chaperoncs. j These ideas were expressed to -me by my teen-age son and a "friend who wondered why this isn't being done, giving teen-agers some ;placc for recreation all week be dsides the drive-in theater or hang ng out at drive-in restaurants. ..

Ore.- Can Civilization Survive Unpayable Load Of Debt? To The Editor: Shortly before the last election Sen. Joe Bottum. made a little talk at Washington. He said he had found our national debts, obliga tions and commitments to total one trillion, 242 billion dollars. That, of course, does not include debts of states, counties, munici palities, corporations and private aents .wnicn may aggregate much. 11 is well understood that 95 per cent of our economy operates on bank credit, not cash. Our bank ing system operates on a fraction al reserve system whereby it loans up to several times the reserves on hand. Should the world bankers controlling the Federal Reserve Board decide to' call loans, refuse new ones, raise discounts and re strict credit, what will result? To say they would not be guilty of such a crime is to beg the question. That is exactly what was done in 1893, 1907, 1020 and 1929. The One World movement, seek ing to force all governments un der a communistic-directed mili tary rule unquestionably springs from the upper echelons of the world banking fraternity. Could we expect to escape mar tial law in such a chaos? 1 was a traveling salosmnn when our economy was placed under banking restrictions during the Grover Cleveland administration in 1893. I saw thousands of men NO! NO! Hatfield Claims He's Not Vice President Candidate ' ONTARIO, re. (UP1) Gov. Mark Hatfield said Friday night he is not a candidate for vice president.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 10, 1963 Weakness Robert Davis, cars which had proved to be death weapons were towed into town to be displayed to all comers. With at tached explanations of what had happen ed to cause the accident and the result of the collision, each car was a chilling reminder of the havoc a rampaging ve hicle could be. This was a blunt attack on the prob lem, but it was effective. The first one was staged in Roseburg following the worst parade of traffic deaths in the county's history. During that year 1951 no less than 44 people were killed on Douglas County highways. The next year, the number of deaths dropped spectacularly. Much of the cred it was given to the safety group for its excellent campaigning. Mow of this is needed, and a citizens group is the obvious answer to the need. Chief of Police John Truett is considered an expert in the matter of traffic safety all over the state. Both he and Howard Eddy, executive secretary of the Oregon Traffic Safety Commission have offered their services in establishing and pro moting such an organization. They should be taken up on the offer. The governor has urged all cities of the state to form such organizations to serve as a broad base for an all-out at tack on traffic accidents. He has offered the services of the Traffic Safety Com mission in forming them. He .feels that police agencies alone can't cope with the rising tide of deaths and injuries. They need a base of sup port from the citizens they are working to protect. drifting here and there seeking sustenance. Then we had no such debts hanging over us, as is the case today. In time a measure of prosperity returned to us. We, as a nation, owed next to nothing. Can civilization survive another such debacle, in view of this enor mous, unpayable burden of debt? I doubt it. If martial law is de clared, as we should expect, then we may see Mr. K. turning all our defense materiel) and forces over to the UNO under the un constitutional Arms Control and Disarmament act that Congress enacted by more than a two-thirds vote in each House. The control of military forces by the UNO always has been un der a Red Russian. That is a very simple and easily accomplished way to gain what the One World advocates are seeking. Has Uiat any part in the present Counter Insurgcnce training under the com munistic plan? Some will accuse me of being an alarmist, but let that pass. When an avalanche is pending anything less than an alarmist is insufficient. Forty years ago Nicolai Lenin told us that va$t debt was to be built and what it was to achieve. Now it has been created, is still being created, and is being in creased hourly. Hubert H. Heath . Box 216 Suthcrlin. Ore. ty Republican picnic.

RUARK I have been trying to rouse my self to a high pitch of enthusiasm about this nuclear test ban treaty and to tell' myself that there has been a real change of heart in Russia, and all I succeed in achieving is a profound case of nasty suspicion that we haven't read all the fine print. This is mostly based on past performance. I have a great deal of respect for Khrushchev in the hard-ball league, and not much admiration for uur own people as global diplomatists. We are much too kind of heart, generous of spirit and honest of aim to be very useful in a racket in which duplicity is the cornerstone. - Move Is Gambit What my old police reporter's nose tells me is that this sudden Russian swing to love for the West is nothing more than a gam bit bred in fear and distrust of China, and that if the ploy works, Mr. K. and Co. will shortly be up to their old tricks. I mean the kind of old tricks which are based on the wall of East Berlin; of Korea and Laos and Vietnam and Latin America, where the carcass is gobbled while the discussion continues. 1 do not! particularly revere Charles de Gaulle, but I think Big Charlie smells a whole nest of mice and might have a point in holding France aloof from commitment. France can get away with it, being fairly notorious in its dis regard of. and distrust for, treat ies of any sort. Unfortunately or, an o u t s i d e chance at best, fortunately Amer ica cannot avoid the friendly hand shake, even if it is offered per- n nouL.iy. c nave mis gieai icp-j dear ABBY: A person goes to store-bought bread?

Test Ban Brings Nasty Suspicion ground we've gained by being nice guys. This current accord with Russia is a pass at peace, no matter what motivates it, and it might just might lead to even tual nuclear arms inspection and! final ban on the bomb. This is pure Pollyanna, but we arc a race of Pollyannas, with overtones of Alice in Wonderland, and we cannot abandon the role for that of a pistol-packin' mama. Offhand I would think that the truth of our decision to forbid test ing in the atmosphere, in space and under the sea is probably based on the fact that both Rus sia and America have more than enough bombs to blow up several worlds, nicely packed away in the deep freeze, and so neither coun try really needs any more testing I at the moment. This gives us a beautiful arro gance of righteousness, based on more than one bone in the cup board. If de Gaulle keeps on test ingor. more important, if Red China turns up with the bomb we can pull a face of injured in nocence and produce an act of what used to be called gunboat diplomacy.
