IIE pause for a moment in our " work today to give a thought ' to Gene Parrott, loveable kindly gentleman whose funeral was . held this afternoon, f ar trom . robust these last several years, ; Gonp Parrott was confined to his home during recent months, his illness growing ever more ', serious resulting in his death ' Saturday. He will be missed by all of the long time residents of ) this community and by numer- ous of those who have made this city their homes in more recent years. Although he has been re tired from active work for some time, Gene Parrott was very ac tive in both business and politi cal life In Itoseburg for almost half a century. Our ' congratulations to the city of Sutherlln upon the begin ning of what surely will be a long period of activity and pros perity resulting from the devel opment of the vast timber re sources of the Sutherlin valley. The formal opening of the mill constructed by H. A. Schieman, known as the Mount Scott Lum-he- company, last week marks the beginning of a new era in Sutherlln history. Developed originally as the re sult of Intensified fruit farming , In its vicinity, the city of Suther lln will surely enjoy its greatest development as a lumbering cen ter. The possibility of being a mill ing center for the vast. Douglas fir forests at its eastern door is not new to Sutherlln. Some 25 years ago development was ac tually begun. Itight of-way for a railroad to the timber was pur chased and grading for the rail road was partially completed. Kor reasons that the passage of time has obscured, the work was stopped and the large mill, for which plans had been drawn, was never built nor was the rail load finished. j Strangely enough, the railroad i which was I lie key to the tlevel- opmcnt a quarter of a century ago and whit.-h, licing a costly un dertaking in itself might actual ly have been one of the harriers to the completion of the pro ject at that time, is now no long er required for a successful log ging and lumbering operation. The development of pneumatic. tired auto trucks capable of high ! speed, and sturdy enough to' carry loatls equal to those haul- I ed by standard rail logging cars, has relegated railroad logging to j history along with the oxen, c.v I tept In a few areas. We people of Roseburg are glad to see the lumber Industry develop In Douglas county. What helps Sutherlln. or any other part of western Douglas, Is like-1 wise beneficial to the rest of the i area. May the smokestocks of', sawmills become as numerous in the .Sutherlln valley as were the,1 fruit trees of years ago! Editorials on News (I'niillnueit from ptiRo 1.) Thai is what Secretary Slim-; son is telling us. WE'D better listen to him. Kid " fling ourselves to the effect ; that we may never have lo hit I an anybody will do us no good. THE British aircraft carrier Illustrious, crippled by air attack in the Mediterranean, makes port at Malta, where she is ATTACKED AGAIN by Ger man dive bombers who claim to have put her out of commission for the rest of the war. Hitler, fed up with seeing his axis take lickings in the Medi terranean area, is hitting as hard as he can. You have doubtless noticed that when he hits he ALWAYS hits as hard as he can. TPIIIS is pure guesswork, but it snnnilu rpasnnahliv Hitler will hit as hard as he can and as often as he can in the Mediterranean in order lo keep Britain's naval strength DIVIDED. The more navy liri tain must keep in the Aleditor- ranean the loss she wiil have to defend herself with if and when Hitler attacks the British isles. IF more navy is wnat Britain vitally needs and positively must have to defend herself if and when Hitler delivers his long-threatened all-out attack, it will be up to us to decide and DECIDE QUICKLY whether or not we are to give the help that will be imperatively needed. . That is what Secretary Stim- son was telling congress.

The game was exceeding ly rougn and the Cavemen lost four of their starting players on personal fouls, while Denton, Roseburg center, was ejected from the contest for "telling-off" two of the Grants Pass players who used knees and elbows in a rough mixup on the floor. Koseburg took the lead in the outset of Saturday's game and was never headed. Grants Pass was helcr scoreless throughout the second period after Roseburg had taken a 7 to 4 lead at the quarter. Half-time score was 11 to 4 in fa vor of the Indians. The game went into the . last period with Roseburg leading 18 to 9. The Cavemen will play their third game against Roseburg here next Friday night. Saturday night the Indians will play the powerful Astoria Fishermen in a game at the Roseburg high school gymnasium.

SERIAL STORY " CONSCRIPT'S WIFE ' BY BETTY WALLACE KrZSXA YESTERDAY: Martha is rude to Paul, refusing his invitations to dinner, his requests to take her home. She calls Bill, makes plans to spend Sunday at camp, explains that she is not seeing Paul nor Suzanne as oiten as she had at first. PAUL GETS AN ANSWER CHAPTER IX Martha could hardly wait for Sunday, and Bill's strong arms around her again. Once sh was close to him once they looked into each other's eyes the world would stop tilting, the strange and nameless fears that had been hounding her ever since Suzanne came to the apart ment would fade away, like the misty, unreal shadows they were. Saturday morning she told Paul, "I'm going to camp lo see Bill. I'm driving out this after noon." "In that old wreck you call a car? . "I can make it." "Let me drive you, Martina. Your car will fall apart! It's more than a hundred miles to camp. Maybe I II take the train," she said. His face closed up, and ho 7 turned away. He was closeted 0 ; with the Chief and a man from 0 1 the air corps all the morning, 2 1 so at 12 o'clock she was able to f 1 walk out without being forced to refuse any more invitations, In the apartment, she set tolvol'y Enively. "Something's hap work with furious energy. There was a fresh white collar to be basted on her navy blue dress and her hair to shampoo. After- jvard, she'd go out and buy 2 ! some new socks for Bill. He had 5 ! said his feet hurt, and by now 3 there must be gaping holes in 2! those other socks. Her head was deep in the washbowl, her hair full of sn.ni. when the doorbell rang. Impa tiently, she swathed her hair in a towel, slipped into a house coat and went to the door. Paul bearing aloft a huge brown paper bag that could hold only groceries, stood outside. Martha looked at him Help lessly. "I'm washing my hair." "So I deducted. What's li:e ma(tpr wth b t , ,.,.,n,,, , ,. ..,,., He walked in matter of factly, toss ing his hat on the end table and proceeding lo the kitchen where he dumped the bag. "They cost too much." She bit her lip. Now what was she going to do? Hokv wasvftho going to get him out of here? It had never occurred to her that Paul would drop in casually, as he used to do before Bill went away. "Go on finish the job," he said. "Had your lunch? 1 thought not. I'll fix something. And I've got a lot of stuff here for a picnic lunch on the road." "On the road?" "You didn't think I believed that stall about taking the train? In the first place, the camp's a couple of miles out of town, vou'd have to find a bus or taxi. In the second place. I knew darn ed well vnn'fl Kliit-t nut in tl,..f -1 um. ,, 11 rattletrap. And get stuck some- where on the road." I . ' 1 1 . 1,0 uas so astonished she! And besides ... Her eyes were troubled when she came into the kitenen. "Look. Paul, you simply ?an't horn in on the first time Dill and 1 see each other!" lie was opening a can of )ca.i. One of her aprons was tied hep hnardly around his waist. He said slowly, "I guess you're right. , .tidii t think about that." He 'dumped the peas into a sauced pan. ..Ton you wha, , ,aKc mv car" "No. 'thanks. I might smash it Up." , "it s insured. Go on, Martha take it. You know darned well ' ivg isn't going to stand the trip." j .silc hated to give in, but she had a sudden vision of herself jm um getting into the car, rid- jing far, away from the camp .really spending the day together, las if the army had never existed. have no spine, Mai's all. 1 ought ; I to tell him he mustn't come here again. It doesn't look well." I Paul was silent, wielding the j dish cloth, putting the tilings, away, once lie saitl absently, "I alw ays liked these ulates. Saw them In a window once, remcm- her, when wo were walking on Broad street?" But she didn't remember. H. said. "Oh. ou liked them, too." She wondered, wretchedly, if it had been one of those times when she'd talked about how she'd furnish the home they were to have together. The kitchen spic and span, they went into the living room, Butch padding along behind them. "I've got lots of things still to do," Martha said uncom fortably, as Paul settled himself in the red leather chair. "I meant to iron my dress, and wash some things." But Paul didn't take the hint. He only sat there, his pipe in his hand, giving her a direct, un readable look. "What's the matter with you, Martha?" ho demanded at last. "This whole week you've been acting very strange. You've stall ed me off every single night, sneaked out today, snubbed me in the office. I promised Bill I'd take care of you, didn't I? You don't seem to be giving me much of a chance." "I can take care of myself!" . sho told him. "It was nice of you and Suzanne to rally around those first two weeks. But now " "Now, what? Now you don't want me bothering you? Is that it?" All at once, he was out of the chair, taking a swift step to ward her. His hand touched hers. He looked down at her pened to you, Martha. I've been feeling it all week. You're dif ferent. Edging away, stiff, irrit able. What is it? Have I said something done anything to of fend you?" -w "Oh, no, of course not." She 1 snatched her hand away and re treated swiftly. "It's simply that I realized I was well, de pending on you pretty solidly for company, Paul. That Isn't fair to you. You have your own life. I'm not really your responsibil ity. .After all, Bill- and -1 are only your friends. Why should you bother with me so much that I take up all your time?" "But I want to bother! I want to be with you, help you, make things easier for you while he's away. Haven't the three of us always " "Yes," she cried uncontroll ably, in a small, choked voice. "Yes, Paul, that's just it. The three of us!" (To be continued) Job-Assuring Program to Be Drawn for Selectees SALEM, Jan. 20. (AP) Lieut. Col. Elmer V. Wooton, state se lective service director, said Sat urday that state employment and selective service officials would meet this week to institute a job assuring program for men draft- led into military service. . Under the program, the com manding officer will notify the state employment service 30 days before a draftee is to be dis charged. The state bureau then will attempt to return him to his old job, find him new employ ment or refer him to the state vo- 1 cational education department for training in some trade. National guardsmen and re serve officers eventually will be Included in the program, Wooton said. DAILY DEVOTIONS Da. CHAS. A. EDWARDS Jesus found in the men He :hose to follow Him that they worried most about, were fears common to mankind in gen. era). Viz.: tho fear of hunger, thirst, and nakedness. He did not undertake to discount the ictuality of these dangers. He acknowledged their existence and taught that they should be anticipated and due precaution taken to prevent them. But he also pointed out that the time spent in worrying over them was so much time worse than wasted. When a serious prob lem comes, we should ask our selves: Will worrying solve the problem? Who of you, said Jesus, with all his worry can add a single hour to his life? Then Jesus calls attention to the often overlooked fact that the really important and great matters of life are the spirit ual realities. Between us and those realities no man can come. We have a kind, gra cious Father, and as long as we please Him, and do His will, nothing else matters, for your heavenly Father knows, and if we arc not pleasing Him, our first duty should be lo give ourselves unstintingly and obey His commandments. Then we will discover that the things we have worried over have disappeared. So do not erievc over your troubles. You would not have them if you did not need them. For your heav enly Father knows what is best for you. Amen. i
