( p ctae a Carry On! 4 The Newt-Review, Roseburg, Ore. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1963 Do We Contribute Once Or Many Times Some people still question the pro gram of the Central Douglas United Fund because of what they consider the "scat tergun method" of providing funds for a lot of agencies. The specific answer to this is that if a donor has preference, he may say which agency or agencies should receive his gift. But these objectors are missing the point of the United Fund altogether. Cer tainly the value of bringing all annual fund-raising into one campaign more than offsets any unhappiness with a cer tain agency within the United Fund fold. Under the system of every agency con ducting separate campaigns, these objec tors and everyone else are "plagued to death" with requests. The best remedy to that so far is this one of united giving. The support for the program, both by participating agencies and by donors has been growing, as it deserves to. . Beside consolidating fund -. raising drives, it has other intrinsic values. It's a major project for the community as a whole, rather than a splintered activity handled by only those vitally interested in particular, charitable programs. It tends to reduce campaign expenses, because one administrative system is instituted, instead of the several necessary for sep arate drives. Finally, the members of the board of directors serve as a board of review of the expenses of the organiza tions involved. This has a tendency to keep costs at a realistic level. Benefits can also be seen for the cadre of workers 'who do a good job of cam paign work once, . but then are called on again and again each year. They can, under the Central Douglas United Fund program, put all their efforts into fund raising once a- year, instead of time aft er time as new drives crop up. The united giving program is a good one, but it still meets with a lot of opposi tion from agencies not within the CDUF framework (and all worthy agencies may be invited to join). They feel they can do better alone. They may for a while, but public reaction against one drive aft er another will finally catch up with them. Their failure to recognize this will hurt them eventually, and it certainly hurts the United Fund in its efforts to establish a single campaign. Again this year, CDUF and employers are working together to allow workers to make their pledges of donations in install ments. This has the tendency of assuring more money for the agencies because the donor doesn't feel he is being "socked" all at once. The entire United Fund system has been worked out to make the campaign as painless as possible to all concerned. This year's campaign goal is S69.936. The CDUF has never achieved its goal, out as sunport crows, the goal comes ;loser. Perhaps this is the year of suc :ess. Included in this year's United Fund organization are YMCA, Salvation Army, Retarded Children's Association, Mental Health Association, Camp Fire Girls, Boy Scouts, Arthritis-Rheumatism Foundation and American Red Cross, all local agen cies. If the goal is reached, $8,500 of the total will go to the Oregon United Appeal which supports agencies serving on a state-wide basis. Last year, the United Appeal gave service to nearly 60 chil dren from the county. The CDUF estimates at the rate of $3.70 a day per child, service to county children alone amounted to $31,794.10. The goals and activities of all agen cies involved have been tested and ac cepted for years. The question isn't the merit. It is whether we contribute re peatedly through the year or all at once. The Central Douglas United Fund pro vides the answer for that question.

Old St. Nick may be noted for his benevolence, but lie never came up with anything that could touch the recent military pay bill passed by Congress. And when did Santa ever leave a tax cut in anyone's stocking? In this case, however, the rout ing of the letter was not so much of a Freudian slip as a matter of postal myopia. The letter was addressed to "Santa Clause," and the Post Of fice, with typical efficiency, de livered it lo the office o Rep. Don II. Clausen, It-Calif. A mistake like that wouldn't have happened if Jimmie had used Santa's zip code number. There is no doubt, however, that Jimmie did the right thing in sending the letter to Washing ton.

Kenya's Kenyatta Tries Tranquility By ROBERT C. RUARK A recent visitor who lives in Ken ya, which gets its independence in December, and whose leaders are now holding "uhuru talks in Lon don, reports very favorably on the conduct of old Jomo Kenyatta, the murder architect of Mau Mau who is now tile country's prime minis ter, foreign minister and chief of internal and external security, meaning cops and soldiers. Jomo in recent months has been courting the white settlers, at the same time that a million settled acres have been appropriated with token payments (by the British government) and with another mil lion up for grabs next year.

"I wouldn't have believed it a year ago," says my informant, "but when the old boy spoke to a big group of white farmers the other day, they actually cheered him. He referred to himself as 'that horrid old man, Kenyatta' and to the settlers as 'you dreadful damned colonialists' with great hu mor, and when he said, "Now what are we going to do about and for each other?' they cheered them selves blue."

Pasture's Productivity Is Reduced By Burning To The Editor : Douglas County is blessed with one of the most beautiful river val leys in the slate. Yet each late ! summer or fall as we drive up the iNonii umpqua highway we arc faced with scorched, blackened hills and fire killed trees. Not from lightning, nor even from the care lessness of travelers, but deliber ately set by misguided natives on the pretext that it "gets rid of the brush and makes better pasture." Both ideas were demonstrated years ago lo be erroneous by sci entific research and good range management practices. Most soc- cies of brush are stimulated to sprout more vigorously and spread more rapidly following fires. Some brush seeds actually require heat ing or burning to make them germ inate. Equally fallacious is the be lief that burning makes more and better grass. Just the reverse is true. Burning releases largo amounts of stored nitrogen and phosphorus when the humus in the soil surface is destroyed by burn ing. These minerals so necessary for grass production arc quickly leached out and lost with the win ter rains. Thus, the productivity of the soil is deteriorating with every i burn. Livestock ranchers in California long ago found that the ncsv bright green grass on burned pastures was so succulent and weak in pro tein that animals often became sick and died with scours. Leav volume of high quality forage. Iwcryone from the President on down is expressing coneern about our natural resources; soil, water, range, forests and even the air. Even if you don't mind the beauti ful Hundred Valleys of the limp qua filled with smoke pari of the year don't you think someone should tell some of our local stock men that Grandpa may have been right that the grass looks greener following a iire but stock can't live on looks and that they arc reducing the productivity of the land every lime they set fire to it! Dr. Walter Lowdermilk, interna tionally known soil conservation specialist, put it most eloquently after reluming from several months work in the Holy Land. He felt that had Moses foreseen the abuse and destruction of the land and natural resources primarily by grazing he would have written an Eleventh Commandment in the fol lowing vein: "Thou shalt inherit the holy earth as a faithful steward, conserving its resources and productivity from generation to generation. Thou shalt protect thy fields from soil erosion and thy hills from overgrazing hy herds, so that thy descendant's may have abundance forever. If any shall fail in this steward ship of the Innd, his fertile fields shall become sterile stones and gullies, and his de scendants shall decrease and live in poverty or vanish from the face of the earth."

Lee O. Hunt Star Kt., Box 210 Winston, Ore. Statement On Gillnctter Number Gets Argument To The Editor: The Editor's Corner, Oct. 3, "Commission is determined to pro tect the gillnetters," aroused mv curiosity as to where Mr. Stanton got his information regarding gill netters. He says: "A verv few gill netters operate on the Columbia tnration of "constitutional order" presumably meaning the return of ousted ex-President Juan Bosch. A communique did not say where or whether the assembly had met or how many ot its I members were present. The communique, signed by Sen ate President Juan Casanovas and : chamber President Rafael Molina, said the assembly would "wel come international support" for the Bosch regime. An undisclosed number of per sons were injured Monday when nolice clashed with "student" demonstrators at the university River." Just what does he call a here. The Interior Ministry an nounced Monday night that ba arrested rioters included "10 uni versity students, 19 students from icw. u several nuncired arc a few then, by that standard, we have very few loggers around Roseburg.

The river looks like a city. Also he says: "Most ot them fish as a parttimc operation. Virtually none is wholly dependent upon fish ing as a means of livelihood." Wrong again! For most of them it is their livelihood. Naturally they can fish during season only, which they do not control, same as log gers work whenever possible. It's good propaganda to fool the dear old public. John C. Cnrnilscn lit. 4. Box 420 Roseburg. Ore. Editor's Note Oregon gillnet licenses in 1961 wart 704, in 1961 the licenses numbered 676.
