(News-Review Photo) Roseburg Pays Final Tribute To JFK In Memorial Service w By BILL SPARKS j News-Review Staff Writer Nearly 1,000 Roseburg resi dents gathered at the Douglas County Fairgrounds Community Building to pay their final re spects to the late President John F. Kennedy at a commu nity memorial service Monday afternoon. The service, sponsored by the Roseburg Ministerial Associa tion, was short, simple and col lected a few quiet moments the thoughts, hopes and prayers of the community, the nation and the entire free world. The service seemed dedicated to two ends: To acknowledge the President was gone and to pay homage to him and his family; and to undertake a per selves and their friends that no! one will ever take away mat which John F. Kennedy stood for and represented. And these are not things which have not been felt all along. They were, rather, some how shoved into the back ground but now now have been brought back where they belong into the thoughts and conversations of the nation. All of these things were said in a few words, in the songs and music which were the me morial service for President Kennedy at the Douglas County fairgrounds Monday.

National Anthem Sung The Rev. Smith gave the bene diction, constructed around the song, "My Country Tis Of Thee." The audience rose and sang The National Anthem to conclude the service. And the people left quietly. A part of each of them had died and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. But a part of each of them had also been given a new, more intense purpose. Similar services were held throughout Douglas County.

I Much of the President's day was devoted to meeting with foreign dignitaries and prepar ing his first address to Congress and the American people. John son will speak at a joint session of Congress Wednesday at 12:30 p.m. EST. He is expected to outline his domestic and inter national policies in the speech. It will be televised nationally. Until today, Johnson had been working in the office he occu pied as vice president under slain President Kennedy in the Executive Office Building, ad jacent to the White House. On arrival today at the White House at 8:45 a.m. EST, the new President moved without fanfare into the oval office of the President.

The Liturgical prayer was followed iby the singing of the 124th Psalin by the Roseburg a cappella choir. The Rev. James C.
