"A NEWSPAPER IB A CITIZEN OP ITS COMMUNITY" THE WORLD'S FINEST PLAYGROUND Have you been to Western Lane recently? Have you seen the amazing development of public parks and campgrounds along the lakes and beaches adjacent to Florence and Glenada? When you see the Jessie M. Honeyman State Park just south of the Siuslaw bridge, you will agree that there is nothing finer in Ihe world. This is the tract which was named in honor of Eugene's Mrs. Honeyman, that gallant lndy of 80 or so who has led the long fight to conserve Oregon's roadside beauty. Sam Boardman, the state parks engineer, with the help of the CCC and the Siuslaw Forest Service has done a remarkable job of opening this lovely wilderness of hemlock and spruce and pine and salal and huckle berry and rhododendron to use without spoiling it. It is a picnic ground de luxe. From the wooded hills which survey sparkling Woa hink lake down to the mountainous yellow dunes along the Pacific, neat paths have been cut through the brush. You can't camp there overnight, but you are practically urged to picnic. Out of that beautiful sandstone which they get up near Mapleton, they have built community "kitchens." Hot or cold water can be drawn from the tanks which are clev erly concealed in the rock. In deep alcoves in the brush they have set tables and benches hewn from logs. There are facilities for hundreds to picnic in privacy with a mini mum of discomfort and dirty work. "If," said the austere Ajax McGurk, "the benevolent gov'ment would just furnish the hot dogs, it would be complete." A diligent official said he would make note. Over on crystal clear Cleawox, there is an artistic bathhouse built of stone. Dressing rooms, showers, everything free. Soft sand Is hauled In to maintain a perfect beach. Overnight campers have only to drive down to Siltcoos Outlet or one of several for est camps. There the management has pro vided open-air apartments in which every thing except bedding is furnished. Of course, Chronic Taxpayers mourn when they see such sights. They tell of one veteran check writer whose outing was com pletely spoiled, said he had writer's cramps all night (but it might have been a hump in the cot). Among Old Timers who remember West ern Lane when, all this improvement is also a source of grief. They weep as they recall skidding over the Old River Road and dig ging a car or wagon out of the sandy beach, A good many years ago, an Outsider ad vised the folks In Western Lane to stop play ing with notions of industrial development, build a fence around their lakes and beaches and warn furriners to keep out. Well, times change! Even Californians are getting in without passports. Perhaps, in view of what must be, all this Is for the best. Certainly Western Lane can brag that they have playgrounds, the like of which can't be found any other place on earth. beyond Eugene because they can get cheap power and water from the utilities which Eu gene owns while we very foolishly absolve the Water Board from any tax duties. In Springfield as well as in Eugene there is a problem of city and suburban readjust ments which requires considerable thought. First chore, of course, is to pay off old debts and avoid new ones. But communities which are one in everything except a name should strive to overcome conditions which keep them apart. AN EDITORIAL ON HEALTH BRINGING IN PLYWOOD PLANT Citizens of Springfield should not hesi tate to vote "Yes" on that measure which will be submitted September 1 to detach from their corporate limits that tract of land be tween the Booth-Kelly mill and the South crn Pacific tracks, on which the Washington Veneer Co. plans to erect Lane county's first big plywood plant. Springfield has every thing to pain by being Reneious. Hut (lie situation offers a graphic illustra tion of what happens when any city gets deeply into debt and confronts a tax rate which handicaps normal development. Springfield's tax rate last year was 89 mills. The tax rate in School District 85 into which the new mill will be thrown is only 31.8 mills. You can't blame the people who are put ting perhaps $500,000 into the new mill for demanding a more reasonable tax setup. Of course, Springfield can't lose. The new mill will employ some 300 men whose families will live in or near Springfield and do a good part of their trading there. And in Eu gene we will benefit because anything which builds business in Springfield builds busi ness In the rest of Lane county. But-don't lose sight of this fact! Spring field will not benefit as much as she would if the new enterprise could be taken right into the corporation. Springfi-id will not get any part of the local taxes which the new mill will pay to county and school district. No doubt a good many of the people cmpioyed in the new mill will seek home sites lust bevnnri the city, limit. Just as so many have "built By JOHN KELLY Heglster-Guard Washington ReDOrter WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 21. Pensions for the aged will come prominently to the front in the January esion of congress. There" is no let-down in the drive because of increased benefits (old-age insurance), of the social security act. When con gress adjourned 125 members of the house had signed a petition to bring to the floor the so-called general welfare act, a bill Introduced by Reoresen tatlve Warren G. Magnuson, of Washington. Enough signatures are expected after the holidays to force the measure to debate. This bill (H.R. 5620). provides a uniform fed eral pension financed by a 2 percent gross income tax. It is calculated to yield from $30 to $60 a month, a far cry from the $200 a month pension which made Dr. Townsend's name a household word. Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, North Dakota delegations in the house have signed solidly. Only 12 of California's 20 rep resentatlves have attached their name to the pe tltion. Other solid delegations are those of Wis' consin, Vermont and Rhode Island. Southern rep resentatives are conspicuous by their absence; a re flection of the race question again. The administration may give some encourace- ment In the January session, as 1S40 is a campaign year. However, not all new dealers favor too much consideration to the elderly people. Aubrey wiinams, wno manages to stick his foot In his mouth frequently, in his capacity as administrator oi tne National Youth Administration, is quoted as warning the young people to organize because the old-age benefit movement threatens the interest oi tne young. This has drawn down upon his head an assortment of denunciations. It was Williams who urged the Workers Alliance to demand higher pay on WPA and relief and to vote to keep their irienns me sold "our friends"), In office. General secretary of the organization sunnort ing the general welfare act charges Williams with inculcating In youth a rebellion against one of the ten commandments: "Honor thy father and thy momer. It Is significant that regardless of party affilia tion and their disagreement on many other meas ures, the house members of Oregon and Washing ton are as one on the old-age pension question. The oldsters have demonstrated their power of solidarity at the polls. e e e There are today on the payroll of Uncle Sam (excluding the armed forces), 923,260. This is an increase of 361,413 over the number on (he payroll the day Mr. Roosevelt was inaugurated, March 4, 1933. Indicating how the population of the fed eral city has increased, on that inaugural day there were 66,802 on the roll as Herbert Hoover turned over his White House Job to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and today there are 120,309. This Is the all-time high for Washington, as it exceeds the war time peak (I91R), of 117,103. March 4, 1933, the national debt was $20,937, 000,000. July 1, 1939 the debt had grown to $40. 881,000,000. It is estimated that one dollar out of six spent in the new deal period went for relief. Already a campaign document for 1940 is being widely circulated. It Is the roll call by which the house refused to receive for consideration the spendlng-lendlng bill of the president. The list shows 47 democrats who voted against considera tion of the measure. Republicans are using it and referring to the democrats "as men who place country above party." New dealers are distributing it and charging the 47 democrats as renegades and disloyal. Without comment, the Democratic Di gest, published by women, prominently prints the rollcall, but this is construed as an attack on the 47. In somewhat similar manner the democratic national committee's publicity is accusing the demo crats of being disgruntled. Hunters of Oregon, Washington and California are notified by Secretary Ickes that the duck season opens October 22 and ends December 5. Season on band tailed pigeons is from September 1 to 15 in Oregon and September IB to 30 In Washington. Prior to July 1, this annual announcement was Is sued by Henry A. Wallace, secretary of agriculture, but at the request of the president the bloloiical survey has been transferred to the department of me interior, it makes no difference to the wild fowl.

WASHINGTON LETTER By DR. MORRIS F1SHBF.IN Editor, Journal of tha American Medical Associa tion, and of Hygeia .the .Health Magailne Since science bar learned that human h.lnra may be sensitive to all sorts of proteins, we have found thai some people react much more than others to Insect bites. We know that there Is such sensitivity and that sometimes the response to the rule of a fly or the sting of a bee or wasn Is far more serious in some people than in others. Not long ago a woman was bitten by deer flies while in the woods in upper New York state. Fol lowing these bites, she became subject to blisters which appeared all over her body. The condition Is called urticaria. Insect bites have been known to cause prolonged urticaria in some people. Even deaths have been rerorted from this cause. The reactions have occurred not only after the bite of deer flies, and the stings of bees and wasps, but also after the bites of mosquitoes, fleas bed bugs, and sand flies. Experts in allergy, or tn the treatment of sen sitivity, have endeavored to riesensitiie patients to such bites by Injecting them with extracts of the insects concerned. These extracts have been made of bee venom, of bod.es of mosquitoes, and of other Insect species. Teople may be sensitive to the sting of one lnect but not to that of others in the same family ' An instance is reported In which a man was jtuiii by a hornet when he was 12 years old and was un conscious for an hour. When he was 63 vears old he was stung by a yellow-jacket and was uncon- IT! , J V"ow-)'. nd w, unconscious for more than two hours, and was quit. ck for several rk' T""' , ,h, " ' found Dial lark?, k " tht hornet and yellow. b L T, ,0 th! h0nty b" or bumbta August ? -v.
