Duncan Ask Federal Jobs For Oregon The Roseburg Chamber of Commerce has received a let ter from U. S. Hep Robert B Duncan informing it he is at tempting to set up a series of conferences between local busi nessmen and representatives of the major federal agencies in a campaign to bring more federal contracts to the district. "What I have envisioned is a series of half-day meetings for local business interests with speakers outlining the opportu nities available and procedures necessary for securing govern ment contracts in fields not now represented in our area," Dun can says. lie says his campaign will apply to businessmen in the en tire 4th Congressional District, lie said such meetings might be held at centrally-located cit ies, such as Eugene, Roseburg, Medford and Coos Bay. Duncan said he would supply speakers, who would be repre sentatives of various federal agencies if the Chambers would arrange the conferences. Duncan said he is interested in seeing industries in the 4th District compete for the oppor tunity to supply various federal agencies with goods and serv ices. Roseburg Chamber of Com merce Manager Harold Reaume said he's certain the Chamber board of directors will cooper ate in the project. The matter will be discussed at a board meeting tonight in Roseburg. Fir Grove Youngsters Get Bicycle Licenses The Roseburg Police Depart ment issued 105 bicycle licenses to boys and girls at Fir Grove School Saturday morning. Chief of Police John T. Tructt said he and his assistants were kept busy during the three-hour period. Dates will bo arranged for li cense issuing at the other schools within the city very shortly. Rose School is next in line. The city has secured 2, 000 licenses to be issued by June 30 of next year. The li cense costs SO cents and is good for the life of the bike. The principal purpose of li censing is control and detection in case of theft. It is very diffi cult to trace an unlicensed bi cycle that has been stolen, said Tructt. Currently the city has six bicycles rocovorcd within the city waiting to be claimed by their owners. They are unlicens ed and have no other way to be traced to their owners, ex cept by the owners presenting their claim. Ho asks that any party miss ing a bicycle cull at the police station to offer identification. Those not claimed within a rea sonable period will be offered at an annual city auction.
