Reserve In
"It's one of the right arms of the Sher
iff's Office."
That's what Sheriff Ira C. Byrd has
lo say about the Douglas County Sher
iff's Reserve.
Most of Douglas County, apparently,
got to see the Reservists in action last
week at the Douglas County Fair. Judg
ing from their reactions, some of the peo
ple seemed to think these were just a
bunch of guys trying to be policemen.
Without them, however, the parking
situation at the Fairgrounds would have
been utter chaos. Averting such chaos is
the most obvious duty of the Reserve,
but it has many more which contribute
to the comfort and safety of the county.
These men are all volunteers from the
business community, who have been giv
en police training, almost as rigid as that
given to regular officers. '
This training paid off handsomely in
1959, when the Reserve swung into ac
tion immediately after the Aug. 7, 1959,
explosives truck blast. The members of
the Reserve were the first on the scene
lo retain law and order. They held the
situation in check, with other police of
ficers, until the National Guard arrived
on the scene.
This was just one of the jobs they han
dled without compensation. They are also
called out on roadblocks, searches and
other police activities whenever they are
needed. Their services are available to
any police force. The Roseburg City Po
lice and State Police often call on them
for:help. , '
They also handle other jobs for pay,
which ordinarily would have to be taken
by policemen. To supplement sheriffs
office patrols, they are called in for spe
cial patrol duty each weekend. They are
the first organization to come to mind
when any mass parking problems are in
volved in a. special event, such as the
fair. They also are called when guards
are needed for prisoners in hospitals.
On all the jobs where a bulk of the
members are needed,., the pay .given the
THE LIGHTER SIDE:
By DICK WEST
United Press International.
WASHINGTON (UPI) Earll
.'i' this summer there was an in
teresting bit of news from Paris
concerning one of the famous
fashion designers.
This designer, who is so fam
ous 1 have forgotten his name,
was reported to be featuring ex
tremely revealing necklines in his
new fall creations.
Although delicately phrased, the
account I read conveyed the im
pression that he was bringing a
significant portion of milady's
rib cage into the public domain.
When I called this to the at
tention of my wife, who is an au
thority on such matters, she told
me it would never become fash
ionable. Naturally I asked
why not.
"Because," she said, "fashions
are set by women who can afford
to buy originals, and too many
rich women are flat-cheated."
Since her own rib cage is more
favorably endowed than my bank
account, it may be that ' she was
just being catty. But I devoutly
hope that she correctly called the
shot.:
Having been through a rather
trying summer of ignoring wom
en's knees, I simply am not in
condition to spend the winter ov
erlooking their rib cages.
Somewhere there is a portrait
of a lady, also so famous I have
forgotten her name, whose eyes
appear to follow you no matter
from what angle you view t h e
painting.
This same optical illusion, as I
have pointed out before, occurs
in women's knees.
Time after time I have been
accused of staring at their knees,
whereas actually their knees arc
staring at me. It is all very
nervowracking.
If two or more women are
present, it is impossible to avert
one's eyes. The entire room he
conies a sea of knees.
It has been my expectation that
the summer would bring sur
ceaso. During the summer, wom
en usually shift into shorts. When
that happens, their knees are not
as disconcerting as when they
are wearing skirts.
It's not an ideal situation, but
I can live with it.
Tilts summer, however, many
women did not shift into shorts.
Instead, they shifted into shifts.
A 'shift, as you know, is a
loose fitting garment that only
touches the body in four places.
Sometimes the wrong four. But
Forest Service Plans
NeW Recreation Areas
PORTLAND (UPI)-The Bureau
of Lend Management said today
the Forest Service, U.S. Dept. of
Agriculture, has filed an applica
tion to set aside 608 acres in the
Siskiyou National Forest in Jo
sephine and Curry counties.
The land is to be used fur:
campground and recreation areas i
and administrative sites. I
to pi a I
Front Line Of Public Service
unit is put in a special fund which goes
toward buying new equipment for the
unit. In evidence this year at the fair
were walkie-talkies which made the
parking operation even smoother be
cause of better communication. These
were purchased from the fund.
The organization was activated in' 1940
as a war emergency unit. The threat of
war was strong, and the National Guard
had been called into service. This left a
gap in case of community emergency,
so the Reserve was established.
Among' the several charter members
of the organization were Sheriff Byrd
himself, present Reserve Capt. George
Caskey and former county Treasurer Ol
iver Johnson. . ,
After the war, it was found that many
of the members of the emergency organ
ization liked police work and saw a
need for continued operation of the Re
serve. This fall it will be 23 years old.
During its years of service, it has han
dled car parking work at every Douglas
County Rodeo and every fair. Caskey es
timates his men put in from 16 to 20
hours each at this year's fair. It also
. parks cars at the hardtop races and
Fleet Days at Salmon Harbor.
Bijt probably the most important func
tion is that of supplementing the law en
forcement agencies of the county.
The police forces are small. They are
; able to handle day-to-day routines, but
in case of emergencies, their numbers
are far from adequate. That's when the
50 men of the Sheriff's Reserve are call
ed in (or in most cases arrive spontane
ously because they know they are need
ed.) Speaking of his own police force, Sher
iff Byrd pointed out that it is sometimes
difficult to cover the county with the 12
regulars he has. "The assistance of the
Sheriff's Reserve is invaluable," he con
cludes. We agree with the sheriff. They de
serve far more credit than they get.
Women's Knees
Seem To Stare
that is not its main drawback.
What makes a shift intolerable
is that it not only fails to cover
the knees; it is split up the side
as well. For someone already in
the throes of a knee complex, the
effect is shattering.
It has made me plumb shifty
eyed. Reader

Radio Interference Noted
As Legal Problem Here
To The Editor:
An interference situation h a s
arisen in the Roseburg area involv
ing some of the two-way radios
operating in the "Citizen's Band"
and some information on the legali
ties involved in the situation may
be in order.
Radio frequency energy Is being
put lo increasing uses in various
phases of industry. In the Rose
burg area there arc a number of
such units being used in wood prod
ucts manufacture.
Ten years ago or more the
Federal Communications Commis
sion set aside certain bands of
frequencies in which operation of
these industrial RF machines arc
permitted. Some of these bands
are "shared" with other services
such as is the case with the Citi
zen's Band.
Many users of the Citizen's Band
have overlooked the fact that they
arc subject to whatever interfer
ence may result from industrial
sharing of their band. Unfortunate
ly for them, as long as the indus
trial equipment continues to oper
ate within the band, or bands, as
signed to it, the other services
which operate on the same bands
have no recourse to the FCC.
By the very nature of the prin
cipal of their operation, the indus
trial machines using this process
are inherently unstable to at least
a certain extent. Until now no one
has devised adequate circuitry per
mitting crystal control that would
hold them to a specific frequency.
Experiments along this line arc go
ing forward and there is a certain
degree of promise in results ob
tained to date but final conclusions
and installations arc still at least
a matter of months away at best.
The undersigned has conducted
necessary measurements of fre
quency and field strength on cer
tain equipment in the Roseburg
area and has certified to the FCC
that it is operating within the pro
visions of the FCC rules. Pending
further . technological advances
there is nothing further that can
be done about this source of Inter
ference lo Citizen's Band users In
this area. 1

Justice Bill Douglas' marriage,
at the smoke-seasoned age of IS4,
to the dewy Joan Martin, aged 23,
poses a question which has often
puzzled me in unions between per
sons of greatly disparate ages:
What do they talk about when the
honeymoon is over, the flat fur
nished and the drapes hung?
It is tragic in concept, not so
much for the fact that when fath
er's physicial powers have waned
the young mama is just reaching
her prime. It is tragic because
after a while Baby has heard all
of Pop's stories, read all his press
clippings; and all that's left is a
20-year, or in the Douglas case, 41
year gap in experience and knowl
edge. No Reference Point
To the young lady, there is no
reference point of depression years,
of national poverty, because she
was born in prosperity. There is
no use mentioning Ernie Pyle or
General Rommel or Albeit Kcs
.sclring or Mauldin's Willie and Joe,
because World War II was finish
ed before she was out of the play
pen. Adolf Hitler is only a word,
and if you asked who might be
Clara Pelacci, she would probably
venture that she was a new Italian
movie star. Eva Braun? Never
heard of her.
Wallace Ileid would be lost as
a later modern who hit the pipe,
and if I approached her with Stan
ley Smith, or a piece in which he
performed called "Come Out of
the Kitchen," you would be so
mixed up with Tlieda Bara that it
would be impossible to identify two
Williams, either Farnum or Hart.
Hart? Not even Margie Hart,
who was taking off her clothes for
money before Christine Keeler was
born. Here you would have to ex
plain that Margie was an aristo
crat of show business, much as
was Larry Hart, who used to write

. Probing question:
What is the BIG problem in the
Senate hearings in Washington on
the test ban treaty?
It may be this:
Are the Russians farther ahead
in the race to develop an ANTl
AI1SS1LK MISSILE than we arc?
Dr. Teller thinks they arc.
Speaking at a luncheon at the
National Press Club in Washington
yesterday, he said:
"The Soviet Union, through their
magnificent test series in 1961 and
1962, may have gained the know
ledge to enable them to PERFECT
such a missile."
He conceded that he doesn't know
whether such a weapon has been
developed by Russia, but he not
ed that "they claim they can shoot
a fly from the sky."
Dr. Teller has been joined in
his objections to the test ban treaty
by Dr. John Foster. Jr., director
ol the Lawrence radiation labora
tory at Livermore. Calif.
He testified yesterday that
l "from purely technical military
j considerations the test ban treaty
i appears to be disadvantageous to
! 115."
He added that one of his starkest
worries is that the United States
will not be able to PROOF-TEST
. ITS WEAPON'S SYSTEMS because
of tho lack of atmospheric tests
; particularly as thev relate to ANTI
i MISSILE DEFENSE and protec
' titn of the U.S. missile sites.

treaty would prevent the develop

the Candy who played with Gene
Austin, which was an automobile
that had a radio which played

Climbing Studied
I imagine the new Mrs. Douglas
had read up on modern mountain
climbers, since ' the bridegroom
gets around with an alpenstock in
one hand and a book of Tibetan
philosophy in the other, but I bet
it was not so long ago that she

cent of American lives in the event
of a nuclear war.
He told his hearers that attempts
to perfect an anti-missile missile
by theory and underground tests
alone would fail. He said that some
thing as complex as an anti-missile
defense must he TKIED OUT
in order to prove whether or not
it is effective.
What he was saying is that an
anti-missile missile, if it is to be
effective must operate UP IN THE
AIR, where the enemy missiles
are.
And-
If we are to perfect an anti-missile
defense against enemy mis
siles, we must be able to TEST our
missiles up in the air. where they
will operate against the enemy
missiles.
You may ask:
What is an anti-missile missile?
Well, it is a missile that can be
launched up into the air to seek
out and destroy the missiles that
an enemy may have launched
against us.
We do not have such a weapon.
If we are to DEVELOP such a
weapon, we must be able to test it
in the air. The treaty bans such
testing. What the Russians may
have learned about anti-missile
missiles we do not know.
But they did a lot of atmos
pheric testing back in 1961 and
1962 in the course of which they
developed MONSTER missiles.
These monster missiles may be
what it takes to destroy enemy
missiles.
That is the basis of Dr. Teller's
contention.
Major Fish Battle Starts
Over Columbia River Act
The Oregon division of the Izaitk Walton League of 'Amer
ica is preparing to circulate petitions calling for an election
to prohibit commercial fishing in the Columbia River. This
action was threatened when an initiative to stop the com
mercial catch of steelhead by making the steelhead a game
fish in all Oregon waters was beaten by the commercial ,
interest on a technicality. Petitions had been signed by
some 50,000 people. Organized sportsmen were very resent
ful that they were denied the right of a public vote on the
issue. They were quite critical of what they believed to
be a decision based more on prejudice than on law.
The propositi to place a prohibition against all commer
cial fishing in the Columbia may be expected to become a
major issue. Thus, Oregon is embarked on another fish
fight of top magnitude.
Some of our newspapers already
have taken up the cudgel and are
beating organized sports groups
over the head with the charge of
selfishness, special interest, de
struction of industry, and the usual
cries raised by the commercial in
terests. One of my good newspaper
friends constantly pleads the loss
of salmon as food. The consumer,
according lo his apparent, and I
believe sincere, belief, would be
denied the opportunity to enjoy
canned or fresh salmon.
I would suggest to him that he
go to the food stores of his area
and find out from them just how
much Oregon salmon is being sold.
Virtually all Columbia River salm
on go through Bumble Bee Sea
foods, which has a packing opera
tion at Astoria.
Catch Small
The Bumble Bee brand is one of
the finest to be found anywhere.
But Bumble Bee gets the bulk of
its commercial pack from Alaska
and from the ocean troll. The part
taken by gillnets in the Columbia
is but a tiny fraction of the whole.
If my friend will only examine the
matter, he'll find that the few fish
that would be denied the canners
by the proposed closure would have
little effect upon the availability of
salmon to the consumer.
Another of my good friends re
peats the time-worn wail of the
commercial interests that remov
al of nets from the Columbia River
would force the industry to close
its operation in Oregon and go
elsewhere
This is the same "wolf ' cry
we've been hearing every time a
change in the law has been pro
posed. Closing the Columbia River
to commercial fishing would deny
only a very small percentage of
the total commercial pack to the
canners. To believe that this mi-1
nute loss would seriously hurt the
industry seems to me to be com
pletely illogical, y .
'Our' Not Used
One critic of the sportsmen's
group, we note, ; contends that
sportsmen look upon salmon and
steelhead s "our" fish; that they
are motivated by strictly selfish in
terests. But this same writer didn't
use the word "our," insofar as I
can recall, when the. chairman of
the Oregon Fish Commission pro
posed to the' Legislature that it, in
effect, take all control of the an
adromous fishery away from the
Oregon Game Commission and de
liver the entire migratory fish pop
ulation into the hands of the com
mercial interests. ,

The bill got exactly nowhere.
The concept, however, is one the
people of Oregon, I believe, will

While the Izaak Walton plan may
be called radical in some respects,
it will, I anticipate, lead to the
division which the Roseburg plan
