Today Marks Anniversary of
The Day Roseburg Blew Up;
City Works Hard to Rebuild
Roseburg -(UPII -A year ago
today, in the predawn black
ness, this quiet lumber town
blew up.
The peaceful dreams of its
sleeping residents were shat
tered by a blast of vartime
violence that ripped the heart
out of the downtown area.
Thirteen persons were killed,
135 were injured and property
damaged totalled $12 million.
A million pounds of glass
was, blown out of doors and
windows.
Today, a year after a minor
fire ignited 6'A tons of explo
sives aboard a parked truck
and critically wounded a city,
24-sheet billboards call tour
ists' attention to the remain
ing scars. A boy lies in a nurs
ing home, still unconscious,
lawsuits jam the courts. Many
citizens are trying to forget.
But the city in general, de
nied government disaster re
lief by a technicality, is pull
ing itself out of the rubble.
The city passed a $198,000
bond issue to aid in blast re
habilitation; a new shopping
center is planned on the site
of a high school torn by the
explosion; the Farm Bureau
has erected two buildings near
the blast site; a new bridge
will span the Umpqua river.
Building permits this past
year have totaled $3.6 mil
lion, compared to $1.3 million
the previous year.
For some the aftermath is
more tragic. Alvin Kuyken
dall, who lost his wife, his
daughter and his business, and
was himself crippled for sev
eral months, reflects the opin
ion of many. "You try and
keep your mind off of it."
A 18-year-old boy lies in a
twilight world in a Eugene,
Ore., nursing home. James
Siles has never regained con
sciousness since the blast
drove a four-inch bolt into the
base of his skull.
The blast shattered the lives
of some, inspired heroism in
others, and brought a change
to all the citizens.
Roseburg, because of a le
gal technicality, was never
declared a disaster area in the
eyes of the state or federal
government. As a result, the
city has had to proceed on its
own with whatever resources
it could gather.
Visitors to Roseburg are im
mediately made aware of its
day of tragedy. Huge bill
boards are posted about the
town.
"Blasted - 34 blocks - Tour
the area-See a city rebuild,"
they read.
"It's kind of like inviting
someone to see your grave
yard," Mayor Arlo Jacklin
said. He added, however, that
the signs have interested visi
tors in what the city is doing
to rebuild.
Sentiment against the bill
boards ran high at first, he
said, but opposition has died
down. Still, there are people
who want to forget-survivors
of the victims, and the injured
and scarred.
But with rehabilitation in
progress, Jacklin said the city
is pulling together as never
before.
"We're getting along like a
family with a disaster or hurt
and working out of it," Jack
lin said. "Most of the scars are
healed, I think. It's kind of
like a bad dream."
Roseburg Praised
For Recovery
Salem-UPD-Gov. Mark Hat
field Friday wrote to Rose
burg Mayor Arlo Jacklin con
gratulating the city for the
way it has rebuilt, "not only
physically but in spirit as
well" since the explosion
which destroyed most of
downtown Roseburg one year
ago.
A truck loaded with explo
sives blew up Aug. 7, .killing
13 persons and causing mil
lions of dollars in damage.
"One can never forget the
fear and frustration in the
faces of citizens nor can one
forget the damage that was
done," Hatfield said. "But
what a thrill it is to see in
Roseburg today a confidence
that came about because you
people rallied to the occa
sion." "As you review the memo
ries of those horrible days of
recovery please be assured of
the pride with which all Ore
gon ians view your efforts,"
Hatfield said.

do. Father Feit was believed
to be in San Antonio, but this

Demos Give Advice on
How to Get Voters Out
Washington - IUI'11 - Demo
crats were circulating how-to-do-il
pamphlets among their
election campaign voting reg
istration workers Saturday.
They contain a variety of sug
gestions, including what to do
when you meet a Republican.
The pamphlet is part of a
kit intended to provide all of
the materials for organizing
a doorbell-pushing campaign
to sign up eligible but unreg
istered voters.
Included is a summary of
state registration and voting
laws, sample registration
forms, a red and brown chart
and a statistical report on the
'"voting potential" of each
state.
Theme of literature is: Or
ganize your registration cam
paign as comprehensively as a
general planning for battle
and then don't spare the shoe-leather.
But it is the 19-page pam
phlet that goes into the heart
of the problem - the person-to-person
contacts that Demo
crats feel could lap a treasure
trove of potential votes.
The pamphlet, entitled,
"Registration -First Big Step
Toward Victory," stresses that
the canvasser must be as en
thusiastic as a cheer -leader
and polite as a Boy Scout, and
always diplomatic.
Under a heading, "If You
Find Republicans," the pam
phlet oilers this advice:
' "Make a polite exit with
'Even though our politics dif
fer, I'm certain you agree
with me on the importance of
registering. Goodbye .
'If the person who answers
the door or telephone does
not want to be disturbed or is
otherwise antagonistic, can
vasscrs should not be argu
mcnlive or persistent," the
pamphlet says.
It suggests that new house-to-house
campaigners should
be started out in pairs to give
more confidence.
' As a morale booster, 11 sug
gests that several workers get
together during the course of
. their drive "so they can talk
over their experiences and
give each other advice."
The pamphlet advises the
campaign chairman to concen
trate his manpower first .n
districts with the highest ra
tion of Democratic voles.
; It-said the second priority
ihould be in precincts where
the parly won or lost by a
small margin, and after that
the campaign should be pitch
ed "where volunteer vanvas
sers are most readily available."
D e m o c r alic presidential
campaign strategists said they
were setting up the most in
tensive voting registration
drive in the party's history.
Spokesmen said about 200
of the kits were distributed
to Democratic leaders through
out the nation and about 800
more probably- will be sent
out before the campaign ends.
The pamphlet urges its
workers not to miss anybody,
including shut-ins and those
who live in trailer camps.
It said the canvasser should
be ready to provide transpor
tation and even a baby-sitler
if needed to get his prospect
signed up for the general
election.
Roseburg Damage
Still Unknown
Portland - 0IPU - Total dam
age from the fire and explos
ion that leveled part of Rose
burg one year ago today has
not yet been completely tabu
lated. The General Adjustment
bureau said property damage
resulting from the disaster
was estimated at $9.3 million,
but there were many losses
not covered by insurance.
There were a total of 6,450
claims.
Some estimates have placed
loss as high as $12 million.
Damage suits now pending
total more than $1 million.
The claims are against Ihe Pa
cific Powder Co., of Tenino,
Wash., and the Gerretson
Building Supply Co.
The newest simulated dia
mond looks like a gem and
even, the manufacturer says,
cuts glass - passing one of the
layman's test for telling a
real diamond from a fake one.
The retail price: $16 a carat.
Sizes range from one to 20
carats, but the manufacturer
makes larger ones upon re
quest. A pear-shaped 45 crat
stone, set in 14 carat gold, re
tails for $2,500. If it were a
real diamond, the cost would
be $250,000 or more.
