Newspaper Page TextBEAGLE SECTION One of the post-war plant of Jackson county will be the re placing of county roads in the present artillery range of Camp White in the Beagle district, ac cording to County Commissioner Arthur E. Powell of Central Point. When Camp White was estab lished the county was required to vacate all county roads with in the area, Including rights of way. When the land is returned by the government, it is planned to have a new road system for the Beagle-Sams Valley district. Plans to this end are now being drawn by the county court and county engineer. Many of the old roads are still there, but they are 'narrow, crooked and steep in places. . The county court plans as soon as the area is vacated by the military, to procure rights of way before the land is sold to private owners. Thus any land will be subject to the county rights of way. The roads will be built with an eye to protection of natural fields and where they will do the most good. '. On a recent inspection for a road survey in the upper Sams Valley district, an outcropping of rock believed to be suitable for road surfacing was discover ed. One of the county court problems has been the locating of a new site for a rock quarry to supply suitable material for road work on both old and new projects.

Y PLAN SCHOOLING Washington, Dec. 20 (U.R) A war department survey of troops at home and abroad to day showed that 500,000 of the approximately 6,750,000 enlisted men now in the army definitely plan to return to full-time col lege or other studies after the war. An additional 300,000 are ser iously considering resuming their education on a full-time basis, but are undecided or have conflicting job plans, it was found. Still another 1,200,000 men said they were thinking of attending part-time school or col lege. The war department said these estimates were based on surveys among white enlisted men only. A slightly smaller percentage of Negro soldiers have plans for full-time schooling. Among jun ior grade officers the percent age is somewhat higher. Alvlna Alverson, homemaking editor of Successful Farming magazine, says you'll save your self some untangling if you turn clothes with ties or sashes in side out before putting them Into the washing machine. Help Build the STATE POLICE TO GIVE PROTECTION TO JAP CITIZENS Salem, Ore., Dec. 20 U.R) Oregon state police protection will be given to Japanese-American citizens, Charles F. Pray, director of the police organiza tion, said today. They would be entitled to the same protection by his department as any other citizens, he said. The police would be somewhat handicapped, if any disturbances were to occur, Pray said, due to the fact that so many men from his department were to military service. Rep. James W. Mott, Oregon first congressional district, said that he thought it was a "great mistake on the part of the war relocation authority to permit Japanese and particularly Ja panese aliens to return , to the Pacific coast." There is no necessity for such action, Mott said, either from an economic nor international angle. .
