Oakridge Faces Some Problems In the near future, Oakridge is about to become a city of 3,000-3,500 population. The big Pope-Talbot outfit has acquired a huge sustained yield unit of timber on the Upper Willamette and it will bring in perhaps 275 to 300 families. There will) also come to Oak ridge new stores, new businesses of many kinds to serve this additional population. Some statisticians figure that for every per son employed in an industry you can multi ply by six to take in the worker's family and the families of the people who follow "serv ice trades" adjacent to the industry. It is safe to say the population of the' Oakridge area i will double. That means headaches as well as bless ings. It stands to reason that most of the new people will want to have homes in or adja cent to Oakridge. They will send their chil dren to the excellent (for the present) Oak ridge schools. More school housing will be needed. They will want good wide streets, not paved, perhaps, but with some kind of all year surface and enough oil to keep dust down. They will require water and power from Oakridge's municipal plants. They will need sewers and sewage disposal if Oak ridge is to be kept healthy. They will need adequate fire and police protection. : Oakridge has one of the most beautiful townsites in Oregon, back there on the not-too-steep slopes which rise from the river. Homes in Oakridge look up the Willamette canyon to the snowclad heights of Diamond Peak. There is a background of beautiful wooded ridges. Oakridge is on the magnifi cent Willamette highway, one of the main travel routes to California. There is reason to believe that Oakridge can have a very large tourist trade, as well as industry if Oak ridge can, make Oakridge reasonably attrac tive as a stopping place. Oakridge has all the makings for an exceptionally prosperous arvd stable community, but It will require some careful planninpand management. The services of Howard Bu ford, the planning consultant of the Rugene Springfield area, are available to CJakridge because the county helps pay thr bill. Mr. Buford's office is swamped witl problems, but he always seems to be able-to find room for one more. He can give sond advice on street and utility layouts . (which will save Oakridge money in maintenance (costs over the years). But Oakridge will face some financial problems also and the great ques tion: "Shall we take the new mills ond the new residential areas within city anfl school dis trict boundaries, or shall we invite the soma kind or tringe problems which rlague so many . will be 75.9; Springfield had 70 last year, will have 76). One mill of tax rate in the city of I Oakridge brings only $230. One mill in the ! consolidated school district (which includes ; Westf ir) brings $2500. Of course, the city of i Oakridge cannot include as much territory as ' the school district, but how big should Oak , ridge be to have the most efficient and prac tical unit? How can Oakridge devise a plan which is basically sound for this growth pe riod and yet economical. Will the city gov ernment of Oakridge take a firm hand to set up zoning and building and street layout controls, or will it let real estate speculators run wild? Mayor Charles Croner and his city council and all the people of Oakridge, and the new comers have the difficult but interesting job of making Oakridge one of the healthiest, most attractive towns in Oregon. Somebody suggests that Oakridge can be "the Gem of the Cascades." Makings are there. SOCIETY, WOMEN'S ORGANIZATIONS By ANN CONNELL cities?' Oakridge can learn a good deal from Sweethome over in Linn County, SweeU home jumped from 298 population in 1930 to 3,500 shortly after 1940. Sweethome got a city manager and did a rem arkable job of meet ing its problems, but i.t still has headaches. Oakridge faces this se.t of figures: Taxable Tax ' Valuation Levy City of Oakridge $ 230,163 30 2 Oakridge School Dist 2,562.711 24 9 These are lastyear's figures. Add in the county tax of 12,7 mills and Oakridge comes up with an aggregate tax of 67.8 mills. (Eu gene's rate was just under 60 mills last year, Tough Break on Dorena Dam For all those who live where rampaging Willamette floods can get at them, the post ponement of bids on the $9,000,000 Dorena dam is a real blow. To be sure, the federal government is holding up a long list of pub lic works, so that men and materials can be concentrated on home building w,hich is the nation's No. 1 need, at present. And the de lay on the Dorena job may be only for 30 days. That will not hurt too much on a job that will require tfiree years to complete. George Jones to Wed Ex-Red Cross Worker August 15, in India Of paramount interest in Eu gene is the announcement that the marriage of Miss Antonia Greene of New York City to George Jones, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter B. Jones of 971 West Broadway will take place August 15 or thereabouts, in India, where Mr. Jones is stationed as a news correspondent for the New York Times at New Delhi. A grad uate of the University of Oregon and former Register-Guard em ploye, Mr. Jones won notice by his work as United Press war corres pondent in the South Pacific. Original plans were for the wed ding to take place at the Methodist Church in Bombay, with reception at the Imperial Hotel there. Due to the political situation in India now, the brideroom may not be able to leave his post at New Del hi, and the ceremony may tae place in the latter city, but will follow the same plan. Bridesmaid for Miss Greene will be the girl photographer for Life Magazine; best man will be the correspondent for the London Ex press, van old friend of the bride groom and fellow war correspon dent in the Pacific. Another New York correspondent will give the bride away, in this "newspaper wedding." Miss Greene is a Red Cross worker, a graduate of Hunter's College In New York City. She also served in the Pacific cam- MRS. POTTER, DAUGHTERS Recent visitors in Eugene st the home of Mrs. Potter's parent, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Evans, were Mrs. Thomas I. Potter of Portland and her two daughters, Pamela Ann, left, and Lauran Jo. Mrs. Potter la formerly of Eugene. However, if Ithere is any threat of in- 1 paign during the war, but met her definite delay, there should be vigorous pro test because these floods in the Willamette valley can destroy homes faster than people can build th'i'm. The great hazard of the Wil lamette vrdley as General Robbins has pointed out for years is that one of those super-floods like '61 or '90 will hit us before the system of dams can be completed, no matter how fast construction is pushed. Hfyre is a summary of the flood control situation: ' Cottage Grove and Fern Ridge are com pleted and although they are small they have already proved their efficiency. Dorena is ready for contract, funds have been appropriated; if we had had the Dorena dam last January it would have saved enor mous damge long the Coast Fork and relieved Glemvood and other areas materially. ' Detroit on the North Santiam is ready for contract, funds appropriated and that is one of the big ones. Meridian dam on the main Willamette the most Important unit in the entire program has only a little over $1,000,000 for preliminary work. McKenzie tributary dams are still in the survey stage. Sweethome dam on the South Santiam is still in survey stage. The big battle to get these dams com pleted and in operation is going to be the battle for APPROPRIATIONS. Long ago Congress authorized up to $75,000,000 for the system of dams, but authorization is only a gesture and formality of procedure. Year by year in Congress comes the struggle to get the necessary APPROPRIATION LEGISLA TION. The Willamette valley is only one of many in the United States with flood troub les and the competition is rough. Dorena is reasonably sure, in spite of de lays. For us, the most important problem will be to get the millions needed for the Meridian dam. All of the others are import ant, but Meridian is the one which will give most protection to areas such as Springfield, Glenwood, Willakenzie, and the Santa Clara and River Road sections. Elmer Maxey and other leaders have been indefatigible, but they need the support of the entire community. It is timely to review "where we stand" and realize how much re mains to be accomplished.

EUGENE- BOUND BRIDES HAVE MEETING ON TRAIN, 8PEAK FRENCH TOGETHER. En route to Eugene recently to join her husband, a young French bride from Paris, Mrs. Chester Rooks, was the .bject of much at tention from fellow passengers because she could speak no word of English. Finally, some word about her reached the ears of a fellow-traveller at the opposite end of the railway car, according to other Eugeneans who were in the car. The second young woman, Mrs. Charles Powell, bride of a Fall Creek man, hurriedly came back and began vivacious speech with young Madame Rooks. She herself was half French, she re marked to other attentive travel lers, although her home had been in Maine. The two Lane County brides apparently had a satisfactory visit, which lasted until their train ar rived. They exchanged addresses, and promised to see each other soon again.

Nature does not slip, stumble or miss. Her every movement is abso lutely accurate, and perfectly certain as the rising of the sun or the precision of the stars. The chemical reactions of a garbage heap are as true as those of the apothecary's table. The law of gravitation operates as perfectly in the atom, as in the stars. The cosmic accuracies so plain In the physical universe: could not be less certain and perfect in the moral realm. These lawt of life are not im posed by tome arbitrary ruler of the universe: but are the very nature of life. And any departure from them Is always disastrous. The ten command ments expresa the basic laws of the moral universe The al mighty God uttered them be cause they ar the true fact of life. This li true of all of God's word. We are ttudytng these things at the Salvation Army Hall every Thursday evening commencing at 7.30 August 15. Bettfr plan to aitena Unde nominational and nonsectarlan. Major L J. lorcerson William L.
