Pageant Section Is Limited There will b with next Wednesday's issue of The Register-Guard small special sec tion, devoted exclusively to the Eugene-Lane County Centennial and the Oregon Trail Pageant. No advertising. Just news and pictures. But only four pages instead of 43 or more which we used to print in those good old days when there was no shortage of paper supply, or of printers to build paper. In the regular daily and Sunday issues we will give Pageant and Centennial "all the breaks." To print a huge Pageant Section 25,000 to 30,000 copies would make an enormuos hole in paper supply which must be conserv ed for the day-in-day-out job of giving the readers something like a "balanced ration" of world and home news. Nearly all small town newspapers in the Vmted States are working against the same handicaps, but they are peculiarly acute in a community such as this which has had enormous popula tion growth. Perhaps we can make some simplified explanations: Even with about 30 toni I ijionth extra which we (tet from the new co-operative mill t Ti,com in which we have share we work on a 1941 bane to supply a 1947 demand. Ifriusinjc shortage makes H difficult to ret additional, printers, family men. Rood citizens though many are eager to come here. The production problem is essentially the same as that in many lines of business where essential materials and skilled labor cannot be had until the slow process of economic readjustment "normalizes" conditions. Daily publications have a much tougher problem than weekly, monthly or occasional publica tions because they are daily. Indeed, one cause of newsprint shortage is the diversion of much pulp into making "slick" for mag azines. In Salem, Klamath, Mcdford, Roseburg, even Portland you hear the same wail, ex cept that as a Salem editor put it the other day: "The big city papers had several suits nf clothes to begin with. Tha little papers never had much mora than a shirt and they've clipped the tail off of that." It is more painful to us than to anybody to have to forego doing what we have always done at Pageant time. Here we sit with a fine big staff "rarin' to go" an no place to go. There has been times In the last year when it has been necessary to piece together scrap from used rolls to complete an edition; oiher times when only the nick-of-time ar rival of a truck made it possible to publish. We have no street sales, no newsstand sales; we serve nobody who cannot prove resi dence in the home area. It is a great temptation to take a chance and splurge with a handsome Pageant sec tion, but we have to keep in mind 25,000 families which will be looking for the RG every day. long after the Pageant is pleasant memory. But we will try to pack into those four puges which will go with the Wednes day issue the whole story of the 100 years and the Tageant. It is a job of telling which requires much more skill and discrimination than spreading over many pages. We wish we had room to include a picture of Bill I)m, the harasfed section editor. He has the handsomest "Dundreary's' n many a pageant, and they go becomingly with worry. itt we have reason to know In this valley, can be penny wise and pound foolish. Flood control, like housing, cannot be viewed nar rowly as something to be included in the scope of ordinary peacetime retrenchments and economics. Money withheld from this program can become money wasted. There are, however, some relatively new methods and proposals for flood control which need to be studied and incorporated into any overall program. In our flood con trol thinking we might be said to have ad-: vanced through several stages, just as we have in road building and many other public works: 1. Bank control, levees, channelization, the type of effort which has been going on In the Mississippi and Ohio valleys for 100 years. 2. Storage dams, of which the firt suc cessful tvpe was developed by Robert Morgan In the Miami valley of Ohio after the Dayton disaster of 1913. 3. Tributary controls, now strongly ad vocated by the Department of Agriculture, and this means thousands of little local dams, simple and inexpensive, but sufficient to check erosion and supplement control. Over in Eastern Oregon, they began many years ago to restore beaver to many streams, and where the beavers have been allowed to flourish they have done a remarkable job of conserving water supply which is precious in arid country. The new program, however, will not depend too much on beaver but on a multitude of man-made dams wherever a creok passes through a farm. The Amazon project, in which Eugene is greatly interested (and which probably will not get a cent this year) will offer a pattern for combining drainage with localized flood control. Our flood control problems in the Wil lamette valley are particularly acute be cause of the swift runoff which destroys as it goes, but there is not a state in the Union which does not have problems in flood con trol. It is basic in all resource conservation. SOCIETY.

We do not quarrel too much with the decision of the Republi can majority to limit the pending appropria tions to perhaps $200,000,000, or whatever amount can be expended wisely, pending more adequate study of the whole problem at the next session. Put, the evidence is piling up that money spent on systematic and carefully planned flood control is not "pork" but urgent con hervation. Too much delay in flood control.
