it o pi a t Pa "You Can Stay But He's Gotta Go! The 9 4 Th Ntws-Ravltw, Rowburg, Ort. MONDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1963 Parents aren't always the teacher. How many times have you heard your child say, "Daddy, you just threw a piece of paper out the car window. You're a litterbug." Or, "Don't put your cigarette down on the dresser; you'll start a fire." You sheepishly promise not to do it again. It's just that kind of reminding which firemen and fire insurance agencies are stressing this week in the school Junior Fire Marshal program. The objective of the program is to help eliminate common causes of fires in the homes. Boys and girls will inspect their homes for fire hazards with the help of the parents. At least, that's the plan. More likely, the youngster will do the inspecting and drag the parents to the scene, so the hazard , can be eliminated. In Douglas County, the program is be ing conducted for some 7,000 youngsters in Roseburg, Riddle, Winston-Dillard, Oakland, Sutherlin and Glide. Already 4,500 helmets and badges and 7,000 other materials to give the youngsters their "accoutrements of authority" are being readied to pass out. The schools in this area are among more than 15,000 elementary schools across the country who are participating Firebugs, Watch Out in the fire prevention and safety pro gram. ' The check list of most frequent causes of home fires which the youngsters will investigate are worn electrical connec tions, overloaded circuits, improperly stored flammable materials, unscreened fireplaces, defective heating systems, rubbish and improper adult smoking hab its. Working with the youngsters will be fire departments of the area which will send personnel out to make inspections themselves, if residents of homes have no objections. It's not nonsense. Last year more than 359,000 fires took more than 11,800 lives and injured thousands more. It is con sidered the No. 1 cause of accidental in jury and death of children in homes. "Most of the fires were caused by carelessness, neglect or oversight," ac cording to local insurance men. "They could have been 'prevented by removing common hazards such as the ones the Junior Fire Marshals are ferreting out." Actually, you should make your own checks on such hazards at regular inter vals. But whether you do or not, be pre pared for investigation. This is National Fire Prevention Week, and you're in for inspection by the Junior Fire Marshals. State Parks Being Used Oregon is getting more use from its state parks than any other state in the union. This was the report made last week to the Legislative Interim Committee on Highways in Salem. P. M. Stephenson, assistant state highway engineer, said during 1962, there . were 11.5 million day visitors and 842,308 camper nights in state parks. Up to Sept. 1 of this year, the day use attendance had climbed to 11.8 million. Camper nights were down slightly, 801,939. He said the state ranks first in the na tion in number of state park visitors in ratio to state population. It's just another indication that grow ing tourism can eventually become the No. 1 economic factor in a state which has virtually everything. Editor's Corner By Charles V. Stanton State, County Lose Leader With Death Of Bun' Kelsay The state of Oregon, and Douglas County in particular, suffered a great blow in the tragic death of W. O. (Bun) Kelsay, state representative. Kelsay died Friday , night in an automobile accident north of Klamath Falls., He was on his way to his home in Roseburg following a two-day hearing at Klamath Falls and Yreka by wildlife interim committees from the legislatures of California and Oregon. Not only has the state lost a man of statesman ship calibre, but some of us have lost a close and valued friend one for whom we had affection and respect. Bun" Kelsay, as I well know WASHINGTON WINDOW No Top Choice Looms To Stop Sen. Coldwater By LYLE C. WILSON United Press International If Btop Goldwater Republicans are panicky it could be because they have no candidate of their own a first class candidate, that is. The basic political rule is that jou can i stop somebody with no body. Former President Dwight D Eisenhower's weekend announce ment that he was unclear on the views of Sen.' Barry Goldwater may not have been a stop-Gold-water maneuver. But it wasn't a friendly pat on the back, either. Political realists now will count Ike among the stop - Goldwater forces. The political realists of course, include Goldwater and his backers. , Ike's doubts about Goldwater were predictable. In the classic definition of political tempera ment, Ike would be classed as one of the soft-boileds; Goldwater as a hard-boiled politico. Goldwater was among the first to object a couple of years ago when an all - Republican confer ence assembled at. the Eisenhow er farm in Pennsylvania spawned a National Republican Citizens Committee. Goldwater bellowed a protest that the move was divi sive! that it would hamper fund raising by diverting party funds every which way. Those were his basic complaints. Goldwater can find comfort in the fact that Ike probably would campaign for him if he were nominated. In that event, Ike would be in the position of an other soft-boiled Republican, Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller of New York. Rockefeller cannot quite bring himself to say that he would do campaign battle for Goldwater If the senator were the Republican nominee. But Rocky did concede the other day that as between Goldwater and President Kennedy, he would prefer the sen. ator. That is a typical soft-boiled at titude and probably pretty fairly represents the way Ike feels. Of course Rocky has a stop-Gold water candidate himself. Ike is concealing his choice. The trouble with Rocky's candidacy is that he has been having a run of naa po. litical luck. His New York State Liquor Au. Uiority has been making scandal news. The governor s iwz cam. paign promise never to raise tax. cs if he were elected for a sec ond term is proving to be im possible of fulfillment. The voters are beginning lo noot arrow inai. Rocky s divorce and remarrt. age to a comparatively young Ax vorcee tripped his easy lope to ward the Republican presidential nomination. Goldwater is front runner now by a good margin. The July Gallup Poll reported Goldwater rating higher with the voters than any other conserva tive in recent years.

Y mmmmtmmmmim Comeuppance Due Christine K eeler By ROBERT C. RUARK I think it would be pretty help ful to the cause of international morality if Miss Christine Keeler pulled a fairish hitch in the pokey on the current charges which be set her. Among others, the charges include perjury, the illegal hiding of evidence, plus conspiracy to send a guy to jail when another guy did the dirt. We may skip the fact that the Keeler woman is about as unsav ory as any. We can forget Jack Profumo, and her procurer, the late Stephen Ward, and all the other dingy members of the three- ring circus which has kept Eng land and the rest of the world giddily, agog for the past '-three months. backs in the primaries. Stop-Gold water moves bog down. That seems to be a substantial ly accurate statement. Part of Goldwatcr's strength is that he is a realist. In a UPI interview last June he explained why he would need conservative southern sup port to be elected. He said any Republican, including Rockefeller must expect to lose New York, Massachusetts Michigan Penn sylvania and possibly California. "We re simply not going to run strong," he said, "in the big in dustrial states where Negroes and Jews for reasons that es cape me vote overwhelmingly Democratic. That means we re going to have to run very strong in the South and elsewhere. In 1940, troops of Nazi Ger many occupied Rumania in World War II. In 1960, at least 51 persons were killed or missing when typhoon Kit hit the Philippines. In 1961, 37 persons were killed when a British Derby Aviation DC 3 crashed in the French Pyrenees.

(UPI) American sources Saturday predicted rapid General Assem bly approval of an African reso lution to extend the costly Congo operation another six months. Only the 10-nation Soviet bloc, and possibly France, were expected to voice any opposition to ino proposal. The resolution, submitted to the assembly's Budgetary Com mittee Friday by 15 African nations, urged that the U. N. peace keeping mission in the Congo be extended from Dec. 31 until June 30 to give the Congo government more time to train its troops and police. The snonsoring Africans sup ported tho argument of Congo Premier Cyrille Adoula that withdrawal of U.N. troops at the end of the year might open the way to fresh disorders in his country. The resolution envis i.ged a definite end to the opera tion by June 30. Assembly action is needed, with preliminary work by the Budgetary Committee, because Secretary General Thant's au thorization to spend money en the operation expires Dec. 31. The resolution would appropri ate $16 million to keep 5,330 men in the Congo for the extra six months. The Congolese govern ment would contribute another $3.2 million. At present there are about 7.000 U.N. troops In the strife-torn African country. Community Colleges Show Big Increases SALEM (UPI) Community col leges and vocational - technical schools recorded a 12 per cent increase in lower division collegi ate enrollments, and a 6 per cent increase in vocational - technical enrollments, Public Instruction Supt. Leon P. Minear said Iriday. Figures announced at the end ot the first week of registration showed 1,077 registered for col lege transfer courses and 1,988 in vocational courses, compared with 961 and 1,869, respectively, a year ago. Late registrations are expected to add at least 200 students, Min ear said. What preoccupies mc with Keel er is that she has received the adulation of a film star when the nicest thing you could say about her is that, at age 21, she's been a professional since she was about 16. , When Keeler was instrumental in sending Lucky Gordon to jail she kind of forgot to mention that another .friend might just possibly have been around early enough in the evening to hand her the lumps that Gordon got lagged for. Not that one gives the slightest damn for the offstage activities of jived-up musicians.

HUTNYAN WASHINGTON (UPI) Feder al and state governments arc tak ing action to soften the blow suf fered by the properly owner who must move his home or business to gel out of the way of a new highway project. Congress last year enacted leg islation authorizing the use of federal highway funds for the first time to help reimburse dis lodged owners for some of their moving costs. The law provides a maximum $200 payment for residential re location and $3,000 for business. However, the payments cannot be made unless the state passes legislation authorizing them.

The News-Review has made ar rangements to have results of the World Series game telegraphed di rectly from New York. The score by innings will be posted on the bulletin board in front of the News Review office as rapidly as they are received. All ball fans are in vited to be present to follow the proceedings almost as they hap pen. The series pits the Giants and Dodgers. In order to prevent winter dam age to the Roseburg-Coos Bay highway, the state Highway Com mission has reduced load limits. The grades are still soft in some places, but the surface is well graveled so touring cars and light trucks and regular stages may op erate. Total weight to be allowed is 16,800 pounds. 35 YEARS AGO Oct. 7, INI An industrial fair got under way today at Roseburg following last night's annual fall opening. Dur ing last night's activities, hundreds the Bronx Bombers won their sec ond game in a row. The Yanks have won the first two. One writer says The Yankees are too good. loo good for the Cubs and pas sihly too good for the future of baseball." 10 YEARS AGO Oct. 7, 1953 The body of kidnap victim Bob by Greenlease of Kansas City, Mo., was found today, and a man and woman have been arrested by the FBI for the crime. Part of the $600,000 ransom money has been laid recovered. A First Baptist Church has been instituted for the Winston-Dillard area by the Rev. L. A. DuBosc, pastor of the Sutherlin church. Reports of reception of Port land's new television station are increasing, but it is apparently still a long time before television will be widespread in Roseburg. state highway departments have I set up machinery for giving re location advice. And 19 states actually have taken the appropriate statutory action to authorize reimburse ment for moving costs. These arc: Connecticut, Hawaii, Mary land, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon. Rhode Island, South Da kota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin. About half of these already have made residential relocation payments during the s i x months the program has been in opera tion. Payments averaged from $40 in one state to $300 in an other. (In the case of the higher aver age, the state must be putting up the extra $100 since federal funds cannot be used only to pay up to $200.) In addition, information from the Bureau of Public Roads indi cates that five states have made payments to business property owners since the program was authorized last October. The business reimbursements covered 17 projects and the pay ments averaged statewide from $24 to $2,000. Bureau records show that dur ing this six month period, about 23,000 residential and business properties had to be relocated to make room for a highway goin through. This now program to make life a little easier for the man dispossessed by the highway de partment will be administered on the local level.

It was his own fault, but there you go. Poor old Ward knock ed himself off with the pills be cause of ins association with this female. One colored fellow drew seven years for armed assault. The other. Gordon, picked up three on what now appears to be com plete perjury and timely forget fulness. Keeler has made a very real travesty of British justice not ap pearing to testify, conducting her self like a movie queen when she should have been wearing the den im drabs of a prisoncr-at-iargc, selling her life story and preparing for a filming of her life. - (I know at least one respected actress who is still trying to buy back some blue movies that aren't a patch on Christine's on-slage activities.) And what gravels my girdle is that she appears to be a bloody heroine. All the silly simple girls arc wearing Christine hairdos: You would think that she was kind of a Joan of Arc inducting that busi ness of purchasing a hideaway house for her parents rather than a grimy little sparrow who prob ably bought her own whips-and-chains to the corner assignation. This woman in my book is about as nasty a bit of work as I ever encountered, and if anybody was ever tailormade for a fall, Keeler is it. I do not overestimate the intelligence of the very young, but there are a lot of stupid kids around and they have a new her oineat least in England. The story was too good NOT to cover, but I don't reflect a lot of credit on the world's press for making a glamour-puss out of bum. She received the highest kind of preferential treatment from the British courts of law, and I don't think that reflects a lot of credit on milords' justices, either. Rather belatedly she is charged with being a liar under oath and a concealer of evidence which was instrumental in sending some cas ual lover to jail possibly for the cure, for all I know. It would be nice if they hit her with the book, as an object lesson to all concerned that dirty clothing and soiled gloves of the soul, body and spirit can occasionally use a little harsh laundering. (Copyright, 1943 by United Feature Synd., tnc.l was a most sincere elected official as well as being exceptionally ca pable. I'll never forget the day after he was elected to the office of stale representative. He opposed another man of outstanding merit and ability, John Amacher. It was i the year of the great democratic j landslide in Oregon. Virtually ev , cry office, from the city hall on i up, was won by the party. A num i ber of Republicans who had served j capably for years were swept out i of office, some by virtual un ! knowns. "I never had the least thought of I being elected," Kelsay told me the ! day after his election. I I recall well that he said: "I i have always believed there should be two or more persons competing for an office. Voters should have a choice. I permitted my name to go on the ballot in opposition to Johnny Amacher. He's a great guy. I never expected to beat him. But, now that I've been elected, I'm go ing to do the very best I can." Ability Recognized ' Kelsay knew that Amacher is my close friend, that I, personally was unhappy because I felt that Amaeh er's record deserved his retention in office. Kelsay, too, recognized the ability of his Republican oppon ent. He expressed amazement at whining the election. He attributed victory to the party . landslide. Bui, as he pledged himself to do his best, 1 assured him thai the newspaper, of which I then was manager (a job I've since re signed) would give him all pos sible cooperation and help. Since that time I vc had occasion to work closely with Kelsay on many legis lative matters, have accompanied him on trips of investigation and hearing. In fact. I possibly would have been in his car at the time of his fatal accident had I been able to' accept his invitation to ac company him lo Yreka and Klam ath Falls for the hearings in which the committee, of which he wa chairman, participated. . "Bun" Kelsay, in my opinion, -was a most sincere and dedicated public servant. He was not a "yes" man. He was a Democrat. He be lieved strongly in Democratic prin ciples. At the same time he was . not an .extremist. In fact, some of the left-wing advocates of his own party were dissatisfied with his conservatism. However, he was a strong believer in giving help where needed, in providing the best of educational facilities, and, in particular, managing our natural resources in the highest fashion. Was A 'Natural' He was a "natural" for chair manship of the Fish and Game Committee of the House. He led in natural resources studies and in promotion of legislation designed to improve the state's management of its resources. He knew the tim ber problem, not only from the standpoint of a mill operation, but as a representative of labor before he entered into the management side of the industry. : He placed public values ahead of party welfare, a practice which drew criticism from some mem bers of his party. But he gained a greal measure of respect from the public. He was given deserved ap preciation and support from Re publicans as well as Democrats because of his sincerity and hon esty. We need men like "Bun" Kelsay in our government today men willing to sacrifice lime, money and effort on the public's behalf. We need men as firmly dedicated lo the right. Thus, his loss not only is person al, it is, indeed, a loss to the whole public. We can only give our sym pathy to those who survive, while extolling his virtues as example to those who would follow the path of public service.

The committee, meeting here, unanimously adopted a resolution which recommended that voters base their decision upon "non partisan study and individual judgment."

A COO of this sort doesn't mean the sound made by a cooing dove. Anything but. They are using a French word that is spelled COUP but is pronounced COO. A coup can mean almost any thing in French which, incidental ly, is often referred to as the lan guage of diplomacy. COUP means a blow, a knock, a stroke. A "coup de dent" means a BITE. A "coup de fusil" is a gunshot. A "coup de main" can mean cither extend ing a helping hand or a slap in the face. "Tout a coup means all of a sudden. "Coup" you see, can mean al most anything. In diplomacy, it's a handy word. Let's get closer home. You may have noted that Con gressman Paul A. Fino, of New York, made some nasty remarks about Oregon in a piece he had printed in the Congressional Rec ord. In it, he said illegal betting in Oregon "produces a $250 mil lion yearly treasury for under world crime syndicates." And other disrespectful remarks to the same general effect. The Oregonian's remarks bring up a memory. In those bad old days, a party from Southern Oregon was doing a sightseeing tour of Portland. The party included Mac Eplcy, then managing editor of the Klamath Falls Herald and News. As we were touring one of these dens of iniquity, we passed a crap table. Mac, never able to resist the temp tation to wager a small sum, dropped a half dollar on the ta ble and named his bet. The crap table attendant pushed (he four bits back with a contemp tuous gesture and said with a scornful note in his voice: "Chil dren not allowed in the place." It took Mac YEARS to get over that awful experience. The Oregonian thinks there's something fishy about Congress man Fino s figures, and offers a JOB POSES DANGERS KANSAS CITY, Mo.
