UNITED NATIONS
STOP THAT GARBAGE DUMPING
Forest Access
I Road Program
an To Start Nov. 9
Closing of the dump grounds east of town has caused
excessive amount of garbage and trash to be thrown along the
roads and highways and even on the farm lanfls. 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-

.^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.

The timber, located on 21 tracts

80.155.000 board feet valued at
$871.007.
Daniel L. Goldy, bureau special

whether existing private road sys-

purchasers. Loggers using the
road are required to compensate
owners for use of the routes.
He said that where roads do not

access roads in cooperation with

THE RIGHT TO KNOW
By CHARLES V. 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
