THE large plane manufactur ers have been sending '"scouts" out Into the country areas to talk to young men who are Interested In machinist and tool maker Jobs In the plants. If they have not been here yet, they probably will come soon. tw nrnroriurn thev ordinarily follow is to locate themselves at the state unemployment office (In the courthouse, here in Rose burg) and publicize the fact they are here for the purpose of Inter- viewing applicants. It seems like an unusually good Idea to search out the likely young men In the smaller towns to work at these skilled Jobs In defense factories. We are con stantly hearing rumors of reds and nazis and other subversive elements Infiltrating Into deiense Industries. Men of that stripe arc not developed in small com munities. : ' ' .'... There has been some discus sion In newspapers of late as to the privations suffered by the ppoplc of this country as a result of the conflict In Europe. Added up, the troubles we are caused apparently are pretty much on the gastronomic side. What, for example, arc we going to do for caviar (one should scorn any but the imported brands, they say)? Think of our having to do without pistachio nuls! Then too, a large portion of the currants consumed In America are from Greece. Are we to endure a shortage of cur rants? As for fancy Imported cheese and wines -there, Indeed, is something of a catastrophe, that we must forego those delica cies. Attention Is also called to the fact that there will shortly be a dirth of shuttlecocks for the game of badminton! A shuttle cock, If you don't already know, Is a little jigger made of a cork with feathers stuck In it which is batted back and forth across a net with racquets. They come from Euroiie liecause the Ameri can goose quills are not tough enough to stand the punish mcnt. In a more serious vein, how ever, we should realize and be very thankful for the fact that we have plenty of food and plenty of ail of the other neces saries of life here In the United States of America. There is star vation in Europe, not just an un satisfied craving for caviar or Imported cheese, but a hunger for any sort of life sustaining food. There Is starvation in China. There Is starvation, de struction and desolation In Africa. We have mighly little lo com plain about. We have Ufe so easy, so comfortable and so se cure that some of the members of our society go around making themselves and others miserable hy finding fault with things as they are. There are even those who advocate - cither openly or Kccrclly- some of the govern mental Innovations Invented in Europe. . For the I line being, at least. I we could very well accept what ! we have as reasonably good enough and devote our entire ef fort and attention lo preserving ,, what we have and preventing our land from getting Into the Mine fix as so many oilier.

HARMONICA BANDS RECEIVE AWARDS The harmonica bands in the vi cinity schools, a division of the Silver Star Harmonica school, 424 Perkins building in Roseburg, have just earned their "Green Star Awards," which show that they have graduated from stu dents, as beginners, to students who can now play songs. They have worked hard for these awards which have been given to about 130 children who had never played the harmonica before. Those schools included in the awards are Brockway, Edenbow- er, Riversdale, Oakland, uuiaru and Tenmile, with Glide, Suther- lin and Yoncalla ready for the awards next week, The students of the Roseburg studio have not received theirs because they started so much later than the outside schools. Also, the private students are lagging for the same reason. Mr. Woodward, the harmonica school director, invites anyone to come up and see the new studios who might care to, and a special invi tation has been given to any adult interested.

SERIAL STORY CONSCRIPTS WIFE BY BETTY WALLACE SSTSEX&X Vi. YESTERDAY: Kindly strang ers help Martha and Paul after the crash. Paul Is unconscious. Martha is not seriously injured. At the hospital, doctors report Paul has concussion, fractured collar bone. When Martha goes home, Eugene censures her for parking on the side road. Next day she learns Bill has called, is coming to spend the week-end. She is tarrified by the thought that Suzanne may have seen Bill, that he is following Paul here. SUZANNE TALKS CHAPTER XX ' Martha Marshall dressed very carefully for Bill's eyes, that Sat urday morning after the acci dent. She creamed and powder ed her face, trying to obliterate the long red scratch on her check. All the while, her fingers trembled with anxiety. Was it only because he wanted to see her that Bill had managed to get this unexpected pass? Or was it because Eugene told him that Paul had come? Eugene said Bill had been sur prised. A chill little shiver crawlpd down her spine. Sur prise was probably mild as a des cription of what Bill felt. Then she brought herself up sharply. Surely Bill wasn't going through the suspicions and the doubts and the fears that she'd lived through herself! It would never occur to Bill to imagine anything about Martha and Paul. Or her fingers, fumbling with the buttons in the back of her blouse, stopped suddenly h a d Suzzanne really dared to carry out her wild threat? Had she actually appeared at camp? She couldn't eat breakfast. The nhone ringing made her jump. ! Eugene answered it. With a grunt, he put it down. "For you. i It's Elliott, at the hospital. Must have had a phone put in his room!" Helen's room, at the same hospital, had no phone. When she heard Paul's voice, a weakness came over her. "Are you all right? How do you feel?" "There's nothing the matter with me," said Paul. He sounded so exactly like himself! As if he were in his own office. "But I've been nearly out of my mind worrying about you. How are you, Martha? f thought I'd kill ed you with my criminal care lessness." "I'm practically perfect," she said, "The hospital snubbed me. Paul. Bill's coming from camp. We'll both be up to see you in a little while." "Bill? How did he-?" He doesn't know ab ,tit the ac- cident yet. Ho called bsl while we were our." Sn. night went on, uncertainly, "I'm so afraid ! Suzanne may have -" I "She wouldn't have da red,'' he lent in. "She was just talk'm and I Inst her head. Don't think about it." Even as she held the phone, she heard the children shouting outside. "Here's Uncle Bill, and he's a soldier! Daddy, Daddy, Uncle Bill's a sodjer." "Bill's here," she said. "Grind hy, we'll be there in a lit lie while.' She ran to the door, the swift inging happiness that always came at seeing Bill coursing ! through her. She knew, in the swift moment before she actual i ly saw him, that this joy that j could turn her blood to w ater, this sweet delight and keen alive- ness, could never come for her iwith anyone else. And she pray ed, achingly, lliaf nothing would j pV,,r change It for Bill ever s,mii it fm-either of thenl. j "pai linr;!" She threw herself ( into his arms, her cheek with the ialurming scratch against h i s shoulder. Perhaps he wouldn't notice it right away. Ilis arms, licht around her. making every- 'Ihing all right once more. The sense of panic which Ihe accident had hniught - the nebulous tears which had knowed at her this morning - were gone. ' Darling, I'm so glad you came. Oh, Bill, 1 do love you so!" Honov," he cried. "Martha, SWeet. Here, let me look at you." ,, nci, ;r aw;lv from njmi oyos on her fact with the hungfr and eagerness. And then, like a blow, he saw the scratch. "Martha, what hapiened? Where did you get that scratch?" Behind them, Eugene was grinning sardonically. Before he had a chance lo speak, Martha lold Bill (piickly, "It's nothing. I'll tell you later. Come in, lei's 'catch our breath first. tro you dlitl I11CU, (111(1 Ills l-M-S CUllllllfUlM- eyes ed her. "I was in a liltle accident" she j admitted reluctantly.

II was unavoidable We-we liuucil inlo the highway, and the other car had been going so fast " e Bill's sunburned face was still, closed up, unreadable. He sat down on the soft, drawing his wife beside him with hands that were suddenly very strong. She felt his fingers biting into her arm, and saw the line of his mouth tighten. "Suppose you tell me about it, Martha?" "Oh, Bill, don't get worked up! Really, I'm not hurt at all. He couldn't help it, don't you see? We turned into the highway we had been talking. Paul said the office was so busy I ought to come back and hire a woman to do the work here . . ." Bill was listening in silence. With that look on his face. With his eyes telling her nothing. She went on, desperately, "Wo just got so absorbed, talking, that we turned out and the other car was speeding " Eugene, straightening his shoulder, put in, "So he wanted you to hire a woman to look aft er the place here, eh?" "He thought it was too hard for me." Bill's big hand dropped to her knee. He caught sight of the bruises under her stocking. "That's from last night?" "Yes, but it doesn't amount to anything." She leaped to her feet. "Darling, please don't make a tragedy out of an unimportant little accident. "We ought to go and see Paul. He's the one who's in the hospital." "Bad?" "No. The doctor said broken collar bone and concussion. He sounded all right on the phone a little while ago." Eugene said, "Take my car.! Don't forget to look in on Helen," too." . ' AH the way to the hospital, Martha tried to be natural with Bill. She kept her voice light, asked him about camp, laughed about the accident. But his an swers were short, and behind the ?XSs...tl)at. JtQld ..Ucc noUiirui.5j)0 was afraid Bill was painfully fumbling with the fact that Paul had driven up here after her. Once he said, "Why didn't he mail you the check?" "Oh, he wanted to sec how I was doing, too, 1 guess. After all, tne omce is busy and maybe they told him to talk mo Into coming back . . ." That curious constraint was still between them as they walk ed into Paul's room at the hos pital. It was there as Martha hung back, letting Bill speak first. "So you got my wife all scratched up, you worm!" Bill cried. But the heartiness was brittle, some of the easy good fellowship there had always been between the two men was absent. Or, perhaps, Martha told herself, she was only imagining it. t'aul was propped up on the pillows. There was a bandago around his arm and shoulder. Ho did not look ill. "I wish they'd let me out of here." (To be continued) WEATHER STATISTICS By U. S. Weather Bureau. Humidity 4:30 p.m. yesterday 95 Highest temperature vestcrdav 4!

(Adv.) DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS "Alas! And did my Saviour bleed, and did my sovereign die." Isaac Wath. Among the many hymns known as "old favorites," this hymn will un doubtedly receive numerous first choices. It first appeared in the foremost edition of Hymns and Spiritual Songs In 1707, and bore the title: "God ly Sorrow Arising From the Sufferiegs of Christ." Evange lists testify that this hymn has been the means of leading a multitude of penitents to the cross of Jesus Christ. Even the blind hymn writer, Fanny Crosley, witnesses to the fact that the singing of this hymn in a Methodist church in New York City in 1S50, heralded tor her a new spiritual enlight enment which she chose to call her "conversion." These arc her words: "Alter a prayer was offered, they began to sing the grand old consecration hymn. Alas! And did my Sa viour bleed, and when they reached the third line of the fifth stanza: Here, Lord 1 give myself away; my soul was flooded with celestial light. And the joy of the Lord tilled my soul. For over seventy years this blind singer wrote over two thousand hymns, bringing Joy and gladness to countless numbers of men and women, filling their souls with Joy and peace. Amen.
