e p. And Then Suppose It Is Just Green Cheese a a e Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton a f .' 4 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1963 Opportunity For Real Hospitality The Roseburj? community has oppor tunity this week to make friends in five states of the Pacific Northwest, exclusive of Oregon. Roseburg will be hostinjr the champion baseball teams from Idaho, Montana, Washington, Alaska and Wy oming in the American Legion regional playoffs. The Lockwood Motors team of Roseburg, Oregon's state champions, will be host to the fine group of participating athletes.' Every effort is being made by the Roseburg team, the American Legion committee responsible for playoff de tails and others connected with the event to show the area's finest hospitality to these young visitors, their coaches and the enthusiastic fans expected to accom pany each team. Persons not officially connected with , the playoffs also may have an opportun ity to show hospitality to these many vis itors. If so, they should not fail to do all within their power to assist in making the trip to Oregon and to Roseburg an outstanding event in the lives of the play ers and those who accompany them. During the days of the Great Depres sion our Oregon country was occupied by hundreds of young men serving with the Civilian Conservation Corps. A large number came from states of the Midwest and the East. They were so impressed with the area's attractions that many re turned as soon as possible and today are numbered among our leading citizens. Who knows but that from among the scores of the finest young men drawn from our neighboring states Roseburg will gain some excellent leadership in the days to come, simply because of the way our visitors are impressed this week with the many things we have to offer. Roseburg is noted throughout the na tion for the support it gives American Le gion Junior baseball. Doubtless much of the area's enthusiasm is generated by the outstanding success of our teams. Roseburg consistently has held a district or state championship, or has been a runner-up in the championship bracket since the earliest days of the Legion activity. This week people have a chance to watch the top teams of the region in ac tion. Of course, it is to be expected that local fans will do their best rooting for the home team. At the same time, how ever, it is to be hoped that true sports manship is demonstrated by everyone in the vast audience; that all teams are treated with courtesy and are made to feel welcome in Roseburg. It is to be hoped, too, that the hospitality will not end on the baseball diamond but will be exhibited wherever opportunity offers. Forest Receipts Aid Oregon Counties ; The seven Oregon counties which comprise Oregon's Fourth Congressional District will receive approximately $12 million from timber sales on Oregon and California railroad grant lands. Rep. Robert B. Duncan, representative to Con gress from this district, points out that "0 & C is one of the most successful forestry enterprises of the Federal Gov ernment. These lands are exemplary of intensive, large - scale management of public forest lands using the latest tech nique in multiple-use forest manage ment." It is well, we believe, to recall that these counties of Southern Oregon were "poor" counties for a great many years. They have greatly improved their finan cial standing, in relation to the state as a whole, largely through the distribution of revenue from sales of timber lands. But for every dollar the federal gov ernment pays to the respective counties, it has made many more dollars, not alone through sales but also through taxes lev ied on wages, manufacturing operations, and various other sources, while it re tains control of the land with promise of another crop in normal rotation. That seems good business for all concerned. Opinions From Readers Let's Givo Red China Our Seat In The U. N. Recapturing French Glory May Be Aim Of De Gaulle We're reading and hearing a great deal today concern I ing Gen. Charles De Gaulle, premier of France. ! De Gaulle, it would seem, wants no part of anything I involving cooperation unless he can be the boss. Some of our Administration sponesmen criticize mm quite severely because of his aloofness from our political plots. Because he won't go along with our demands that we'll manufacture nuclear weapons and give them to whom we please and when we please, we are quite disturbed. De Gaulle says he'll make his own nuclear devices and will use them in his own fashion. De Gaulle is promoting a Com Work Killed Dedication By Welfare mon Market for continental tu rope. He would bar Great Brit ain. Neither John Bull nor Uncle Sam arc happy with the plan. De Gaulle would be boss. Is De Gaulle an obstinate, vi sionary, impractical character. overpowered by ego, a victim of visions of grandeur? That's the '. way he's being presented in much of what we are told. Is he an opportunist? Does he ; see in the current world situation a chance to rebuild the ancient glory of France? That it would seem to me is at least one phase of Dc Gaulle's in- i spiralion and ambition. i 11 we 11 go duck several centuries position of leadership in Europe possibly in the whole world. That doesn't square with the ambitions of the United States. So what? 2), e & uud in history we'll find that France j . , ' ,h . ,h. N.w. was the world's No. 1 power. Por-!

Inc.) v To the Editor: In May 11)60 the Senate Internal Security sub-committee issued a report prepared by J. Edgar Hoover. .Here is one paragraph from that report: "Attention is called to the fact that many of the incidents and causes previously cited involved socialist employes of the United Nations. They arc guests of the United States and are supposedly dedicated to the cause of inter national peace. But they arc, in fact, carefully selected envoys of the international Communist Con spiracy, trained in trickery and deceit and dedicated to the con cept of fully exploiting the free doms of the countries they seek to destroy. It is too much to ex pect that they would not subvert the U.N." Spruille Bradon. former ambas sador to Cuba, Colombia and Ar gentina has slated: "The U.N. has already done such grievous harm to this country as to war rant its being thrown out of the U.S. and Uie U.S. getting out of it. To cite but one example, it was the came of our losing the war in Korea." Here arc a few lines from an historic address delivered by Gen Douglas MacArthur in Los Ange les on the occasion of his 75th birthday: "Be not deceived by the strange voices heard across the lands decrying this old and proven concept of patriotism. From the very beginning it has been the main bulwark of our na tional strength and integrity. Se ductive murmurs arc arising that it is now outmoded by a more comprehensive and all embracing philosophy; that we arc provincial and immature, or reactionary and stupid when we idealize our own country; that there is a higher destiny for us under another more general flag; that no longer when we send our sons and daughters to the battlefield must we sec them through, all the way to vic tory; that we can call upon them to fight and die in some hall hearted and Indecisive effort." The U.S. Dvs more than v nr 1 as well cent of the adminislmiivn mi. i " always ot me U.N. and of all Its special ized agencies. If we arc to con sider the fact that it nations, ex cept the Soviet Union, which con tribute anything at all to financ ing U.N. Operations get more than enough direct (foreign) aid from the U.S. to offset their contribu tions, then It must be accurate to state that 90 per cent of all U.N. costs are eventually from the paychecks of American tax payers. Yet some of the U.N. members are primitive nations with fewer people than our smallest state, yet have the same voting strength in the U.N. as we have. We finance their membership and they vote with our enemies. It is high time that some administra tion in Washington made a m' take in our favor. What are we to do about it?

Little Red Schoolhouse Boosts Safety At Fair To The Editor: "The Little Red Schoolhouse," a public service booth, extends to you and your family, an invitation to "jome in and visit" us at the fair, Aug. 14-18. On duly at the door of the "school" to welcome you, will be a youngster, representing t h e school safety patrol. If you wisli to rest awhile, com fortable seating will be available for your use. Both to amuse and cducalo your children, our seating consists of "comfy" car seals that have been fully equipped with reg ulation seat belts. Parents and children, alike, will be interested in exploring some of the dynamic new safety programs available to them: Literature on the "Shelter All" a protective program for school children awailing transpor tation on dangerous heavily trav eled highways and at no cost to the community's taxpayers; school bus safety a slate-by-statc report of standards for school buses: school bus stop law; the bicycle safely education program consist ing of tests devised to cover ev ery possible condition and contin gency the rider will meet while his bike is in operation. It seeks to develop awareness of a bicycle rider to other units in traffic and provides informa tion on maintenance and care for your bicycle, driver education for llie youth of the nation; a publica tion by the religious activities department of the National Safe ty Council on moral responsibility and includes accidents. A key group of individuals from the Glide and Dixonvillc areas who want more safety in their com munitywant it enough to work for it will spearhead this effort at the fair. This emphasis on a "Back-to-School" program will as sist in the battle against traffic accidents, injuries and deaths in Oregon. As a result of this type of safety activity, wc can expect future action on safety patrols in all schools, high school driver ed ucation programs, teen-age traf fic safety conferences, and safety education programs in all schools elementary, junior high and high schools, and the establish ment of citizen's traffic safety groups.
