One farmer re ported recently that two or three Foa<ls of rubbish had been dumped inside his front gate. Reports from all sections indicate this practice is on the increase. Some people it seems prefer to slip out and dump their trash along the road or on some farmer rather than pay the city garbage collector a small fee to haul the trash away Ind in many instances these same people can pay a high price for a case of beer and never bat an eye. There are txvo ways tp stop this practice, oae is to report all violations and the other is to vote for the dump ground lex-y which will appear on the November Ballot. The latter is the most logical remedy. Otherwise our roadsides and highways will soon l>e a disgrace. Certainly it will not be a pleasure to drive over them. WE CAN PLAY FOOTBALL ANYWAY There are lots of things we can’t brag about when it comes to the things this community has or has not done, but there is one outstanding accomplishment that deserves commendation. And it’s no more nor less than the fact that the union high school has accomplished quite a reputation iu turning out winning foot ball teams. Perhaps we won’t have as much to boast about at the conclusion of the current season, since the season is still young and most anything can happen, but up to now the high school football team has cstahlised an enviable record over the past ten years. We don’t have the statistics at hand, but would wager that the high school would stand well above the schools of like enrollment over the state in games won and lost. We would not say the high school district is particularly football minded, as some places we have known, although, the teams have been well supported; neither has anybody beat the bushes for prospective players as they do in some high schools, colleges and universities. The excellent record may be due in a measure to the fact that We just naturally grow 'em. but a major share of the glory- must go to the two coaches. Curtis French, who is now coaching in Southern (California and to his successor. Bob Dusenberry. who has enjoyed two or three successful seasons here. The hoys. .^vyp the little ones, know football and this must come from coaching; it can’t come from anything else. Perhaps we ought to mention also that a behind the scene actor, Orlo Bagley, an ex-high school coach here still keeps an interest in the boys and so far as we know rarely misses a game, and has played a part in the winning teams. Or maybe our suc cess is dne to Bagley’s scouting and Dusenberry’s coaching. At any rate the teams have been in pretty capable hands. New Restauranti To Be Operateci irr Taylor Building Initial sale of federal timber un der the Land Management Bu reau’s new access road program has been set for Nov. 9. The timber, located on 21 tracts in six Oregon, three Washington and one Idaho counties, includes 80.155.000 board feet valued at $871.007. Daniel L. Goldy, bureau special assistant, said the tracts have been examined to determine whether existing private road sys- terns will be available for use by purchasers. Loggers using the road are required to compensate owners for use of the routes. He said that where roads do not exist, the Department of Interior will undertake the construction of access roads in cooperation with the U. S. Forest Service. The timber is located in Clacka mas.

STANTON in Roseburg News Review The period from October 1 to 8 is the ninth observance of National Newspaper Week. In 1939 the Newspaper Associât ion Managers, Inc., at an annual meeting in Chicago, arranged the first program for 1940, with the original purpose to “coordinate effort in answer to organized attacks and criticisms aimed at weakening the prestige and influence of newspapers.” While National Newspaper Week affords a newspaper the opportunity to “toot its own horn.” giving the public an oppor tunity to consider the importance of a free press, the special observance has had a double-barreled reaction in that appraisal by the press of its achievements has strengthened self-confidence and resulted in stronger determination to assume the full respon sibility of its task in firm conviction that it has a duty which must be performed regardless of all attacks. Perhaps none of our constitutional institutions has I h - cii subjected to as long, or vigorous, or sustained attack as has freedom of speech as represented by a free press. Time and again efforts have been made to bring the press under control of vested uty of the human being arc imong the fundamental principles 4 the United Nations, the 58-na- ion organization has worked for he last two years in laying the msis for the promotion and pro- ection of the rights of individuals Werywhere, U.N.’s Commission on luman Rights, under the leader- hip of Mrs. Franklin D.
