Newspaper Page Text"HE'S OFF! Ir? The dit Page A-2 The News-Review THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1963 Livestock Association Back At Birthplace Roseburg today is hosting its sec ond convention of the Western Ore gon Livestock Association, and it has a lot of reasons for being proud of its hosting role. The 1,000-member association is now at the peak of its strength and effectiveness. It reached this level of prestige after having been born in Douglas County 26 years ago. The organization was formed by representatives of Coos, Curry, Lin coln and Douglas counties in Rose burg, shortly after Douglas County had formed its own organization a week before on Dec. 30, 1936. Ii. F. Nichols of Riddle was a vice president of the bigger organi zation and charter president of the county association. It is interesting to note that this year's convention chairman and county association president is Dick Nichols of Rose burg, nephew of the first county president. Beside twins the point of origina tion of the big Western Oregon as sociation, the county is proud of its role as the hijrstiftst county organiza tion in the WOLA. About a third of the members in the state organiza tion come from the county. Despite this dominance of num bers, the county this year boasts the first president of the WOLA it has ever sponsored. He is Lynn Beckley of Glide. It may not have dominated the presidencies in the past 26 years, but the county organization has been one of the strongest in working for the improvement of the plight of live stock association membership. It has been the strongest support er of such things as wool pools, ram and ewe sales, lamb shows and oth er activities to promote the sheep and wool industry. It has also work ed effectively with the WOLA in guiding legislation beneficial to sheep growers through the legisla ture. With its strength, membership in the county organization ha3 grown to : the point that it is the biggest single livestock organization in the state. And sheep raising ranks as a healthy economic factor in the coun ty's economy. As a matter of fact, its 100,000-plus sheep is the highest of any county in the state. With Douglas County ranking as the sheep and wool growing center of the state, Roseburg was a good choice for this year's convention. The annual meeting of the WOLA is a welcome addition to the county's convention roster. 1 Editors lorner I JJjQjj By Charles V. Stanton Trio Of County Teams Moves Up Douglas County still boasts the highest number of football cham pionship contenders of any county in the state. Carrying the county's ban ners into the semifinal rounds are Yoncalla in the B division, Camas Valley in the eight-man division and Roseburg in the A-l division. County teams have captured sev en previous state football titles. What a climax it would be to have a tri umvirate of grid champions all in the same year.

Up until now, however, I wns not aware thut tho resemblance hud any official standing with the Nationul Labor Relations Hoard. ,' My eyes were opened on this point by a decision rcccnily handed down by an NLRB trial examiner in an unfair labor practice- case in Tennessee. The examiner, Gcorgo L. Powell, ruled that a dairy prod ucts firm acted wrongly In turning over to an Independent contractor work that hud pre viously l)cn performed by its own employes. Powell held that the company should huve notified the union before taking this step, which resulted in tho dismissal of some of the workers. In support of his decision he noted that tho union-management relationship "in certain respects is like a marriage." "... wc can well Imagino the almost universal cry In every homo in the land should the husband, without first talking it over with his wife, rent out tho spare room in tho homo to a lovely young roomer, bo she bloiulo, brunotto or redhead," lie wroto. Yes, Indeedy. I ' can well Imagine that. In fact, I can visualizo tho negotiations step by step. First there would be what is known in labor-management-marriagc circles as a "lock nut." The wife would luck her husband out of the bedroom while she had a universal cry. These pressure tactics would force tho husband to the bar gaining table. He would rather go to the dinner table but there wouldn't be uny food on It be cause she was in the bedroom crying when she should have been in the kitchen cooking supper.

Taken from the files of the Newt Review 40 YEARS AGO Nov. 21, 1923 Tho members of Umpqua Post of the American Legion paid a rousing tribute to their leader, Karlc B. Stewart, last night when ho was nominated to again fill the position as commander of tho post. The nominations were closed and the boys sent up a rafter-shaking cheer over tho selection. This is tho first time In the history of tho post that a com mander has been ro-clcctcd. As an organizer and worker, Com mander Stewart proved his abil ity and Umpqua Post has grown from fifth in slzo to the sec ond in tho state. Editor's note: Dr. Earle B. Stewart was honored also in la ter years when "Stewart Park" was named after him. 25 YEARS AGO Nov. 21, 1938 The Oregon Airline Service, which for several weeks has been operating from Coos Hay and Klamath Fulls Into Port land, will include Koschurg in Its regular dally passenger serv ice starling tomorrow, accord ing to an announcement today by L.

On this day in history: In 1877, Thomas Edison an nounced the invention of what was called "tho talking machine."

A thought for (he day Amer ican poet Wait Whitman, said: "Once fully enslaved, no nation, no Btatc, city of this earth, ever afterward resumes its liberty Danger Of Secret Meetings Bared At Special Legislative Session CAPITOL MEMO By ZAN STARK SALEM (UPI) The futility and danger of attempting to hold secret meetings, or barring newsmen from policy sessions of state boards, was graphically illustrated during the first week of the special session. Last Thursday seven legisla tors had breakfast with six! members of the Board of High er Education at the Marion Hotel. They held a private dis cussion of Uic conflict between the legislature and higher edu cation. Now You Know Tho nation's highest concen tration of college graduates is in Washington, D.C., whero moro than 14 per cent had at least four years of college, ac cording to a recent survey by tho Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. Everyone involved denied it was a "secret meeting." But the fact remains every one involved seemed might em barrassed when United Press International discovered what was going on. Was it pure coincidence that the Board of Higher Education held a special "public" meeting just four hours after the secret session broke up? up many very interesting bits of information. For example, we learn that aerial photography recently ! proved a most valuable activi ty for the Oregon Slate Depart ment of Forestry. Managing the Elliott State Forest in Western Douglas and Northern Coos counties, the de partment in ten days made pho tographs covering some 21,000 acres to determine the amount of damage caused by the 1902 Columbus Day windstorm. ; Through low level photogra phy it was possible to obtain 26 photographs at a cost of 1.? 1 cents per acre, or a total of 'around $283. j Estimate Rises j Through data gained by this iaerial reconnaisance, the de partment increased its estimate the board does is public busi-,of damage from 53 to 75 million ness .board feet and has developed .... .

"Exchanges" come through "trades" with,-, other newspapers. . Reading exchanges, particularly editorial pages,; gives us an opportunity to learn what other editors and writers think. Newspapers also are studied for techniques. , ." News columns often reveal information t h a t doesn't make the press wires.

When they delibeiately hold secret meetings, the public has a right to be disturbed. When the Boardman deal, which already has cost nearly a thrown trees and will repay its cost hundreds of times.

Reading Ability Value Is Cited PORTLAND (UPI) Thomas D.

(UPI) The Las ; Vegas Sun -building was gutted ny tire, early Wednesday as the newspape? was completin the run of. its final morning meeting of the Council of Chief State School Officers. "We can talk ' all we want about vocational schools and technical institutes but if wc don't do a better job of teach ing our children how to read, some of them are never going to bo able to get a job or hold one," Bailey said. Bailey suid that a program to teach reading through higli school had been started In Flo rida's education system. "This is tho major reason we (tho nation) have so many drop outs everything in school de pends on the ability to read," Bailey said. There appears no logical rea son for newsmen to have been barred from the meeting. Certainly nobody expected to be able to keep the Boardman crisis a secret. The problem had to be laid out so the leg islature could find an answer. But because newsmen wore barred, there's the unanswered question: Is there another, as yet unannounced, problem with Boardman? What the legislature does is public business. Higher educa tion gets almost $40 million a year of taxpayers' money what i No one was injured although the building appeared to be a total loss. The fire was believed to have started in the office area of the morning newspaper which has an audited weekday circulation of 25,893 and a Sunday circu lation of 25,694. No estimate had yet been made of damage caused by the fire which broke out shortly be fore dawn. Tentative plans were being! made to establish temporary- newspaper offices in the Hotel Sahara on the Strip. An interesting finding report ed by one of our neighboring newspapers is that, in a rating of new television shows, eight out of the top 10 favorites are comedies. Of the top 40, one half the shows are comedies. Not one information or news show is included in the top 40. Thus it is indicated that the modern "magic lantern," as it is called, isn't the news medi um it is cracked up to be.
