Doubt less formal authorization for construction at Medford will come through in a short time. We are living in a time when big things happen with amazing rapidity. This Is a pleasant quiet valley that we live in. We have never been accustomed to doing things In haste. However, with the establishment of the troop concentration at Medford, the gi gantic defense program moves almost to our very doorstep. If we are to become a part of the great preparation program we arc not only going to have to be gin to thing of the part wC arc to play - but certainly begin to play It. That is the tempo of things now. Apparently our most Import ant role will be that of supply source, particularly of pcrlsh abld food stuffs, for the thous ands of army men who will be located In southern Oregon. But It must be understood that the army does not buy In small quan tities. A truckload of any com modity is of no Importance. All supplies are purchased on bid and In quantities sufficient to feed six times (or more) as many people as In all of the city of Roscburg. So If our producers are to par ticipate In furnishing food re quirements for the cantonment they must lie organized on a ba . sis to accumulate and sell through one central agency. How this is tu l)o worked out Is a prob lem requiring conference and study. We call it to the atten tion of the granges, the Roscburg chamber of commerce, the coun ty agent and any and all other organizations having any Inter est whatsoever In the problem of farm marketing. Such a mar . ketlng plan is not something to be created over night or in one week or as the result of one con ference. There is time wlille the cantonment Is under construc tion to create a workable mar keting system for the primary purpose of selling perishable produce to the army - but this job can only be done In an or derly way If It Is undertaken Im mediately. Block Beaut Vindicated pilOHABLY none of them had read "Mack Beauty." That's a story widely read during the liurseandbuggy era In which Anna Scwell taught kindness to animals, particularly horses. Mo torists passing along the New Jersey road just outside New York have lived their lives, most ly, on rubber tires. But the same Instincts that animated their fathers and grandfathers arc still In them. When passing motorists came on a horse, prostrate in the shafts of a buggy In the middle nf (he highway, and found that it had liecn mercilessly driven all day without food or water along the brutal concrete highway, they furiously pummeled the heartless drivers. U n t r a I n c d hands fumbled at unaccustomed straps of the harness, lifted the exhausted mare to her shaking legs.. State police had to rescue J lie drivers. It's good to see that a genera tion or two ot driving motor ve hicles has not dulled men's minds completely to the sight of brute misery. ' ; Editorials on Newa (Coatlauad Iron ptf 1.) informed that this was one rea son that Japan chose Indo-China Instead of a direct attack on Rus sia to aid her axis partners." Boy, WHAT a poker game! DERLIN (for the umpty-umph time) announces today: "The bloody struggle with soviet Rus sia has now reached a stage where decisions of the UTMOST IMPORTANCE are expected." "TpHE "reliable source" In Lon- tirtn u1rnri i-illntnrt mills' "Russia soon will be aided by POLISH troops fighting the Ger mans under a Polish-Russian pact nearing completion. P o 1 a nd's soldiers arc those taken prison er by the Russians when eastern Poland was occupied in 1039 and are estimated to number 200,- 000." Poles fighting for Russia. If that isn't a scrambling of nation al hatreds, nothing could be. CONGRESS' response to the new emergency Is indicated by this Washington dispatch: 'The senate military commit tee approved by a NINE to ONE vote today a resolution amending the selective service act to retain selectees, national guards men and reserves In the army beyond the present limit of one year." fAN you remember back to the late fall of 103!), when it was being said on all sides that "this is a phony war?" It ISN'T a phony. KRNR Mutual roadoeatlna. lyataaa 1490 Kilocycles REMAINING HOURS TODAY 4:00 Fulton Lewis. Jr. 4:19 Ma Perkins, Oxydol. 4:30 Ned Jordan. 5:00 Geo.

The National Association of Ho siery Manufacturers estimated to day that President Roosevelt's order freezing Japanese assets in this country came at u time when silk supplies were sufficient to meet approximately seven months' normal demand. The estimate counted slocks In retail, wholesale and manufac turers. Storerooms good for three months; raw silk supplies another two months, and silk "gray goods" two months more. Silk substitutes such as Nylon cannot avert the shortage that would result from an end to silk Imports from Japan, the associa tion said. Japan furnishes about 93 per cent of this nation's silk imports. For the first six months of this year, hosiery manufacturers' shipments were made up of 15! per cent Nylon products and 841 per cent silk, association sources said. Du Pout's additional Nylon pro duct ion from n plant now build ing will not be available until early next year. Manufacturers and hosiery workers alike ex pressed fears their business would be badly handicapped by lack of materials before produc tion of substitutes could be step ped up. From Philadelphia came a plea by union slocking makers for a hurry-up increase in the output of substitutes. William Leader, president ol an AKL hosiery workers union local said: "lis' only a question of getting enough of the syn thetic materials, and it's' up to the government to see thai this is done." Quick licensing of silk Imports from Japan was asked by Taylni U. Durham, Charlotle, N.

Knox Calls For Power to Resist PORT SHERIDAN, 111., July 20. -(API Secretary of the Navy Knox called last night "for a de cision now a decision that, come what may, we shall resist to the uttermost any and every assault that is made upon us, and we will make tlue preparations to meet any and every threat of force that is pointed in our direc tion.". He told I he Legion of Valor, an organization of army and navy men decorated Tor bravery, thai the longer the nation delayed the more difficult the task when it f:ieed reality. : "And face it we must. Not by our choice, hut by the sheer pres sure of events," Knox said. "We can possibly postpone decision--postpone It until ihe chances t)f successful resistance are fai'floss Hum now, but we cannot avoid r'eclslon. .J We will have to come to it i-wner or later. We must jiiiike the same two decisions which, at one time, confronted every mem ber of the Legion of Valor. Have we something worth fighting for? Have we the courage to fight lor it?"

McNary and members of the California delegation urged the administration to aid prune growers as it has apricot grow ers. McNary's office was notified Friday by the SMA that it had been discussing the situation with the commodity credit corpora lion and expected that a de cision in respect to a dried prune program could be announced in the near future. , Producers in the northwest wrote McNary that they expected a fairly good crop of prune's this year and asked his aid in getting the administration to help dis pose of the surplus.

For instance the secretary of labor is called "Miss Perkins. In reality she is a married woman whose daughter was recently married. The col umnist "Miss Dorothy Thomp son" has a son in his teens and I in fact is Mrs. Sinclair Lewis. ; Whose name does the cliild take I in these cases? I understand that In Russia marriages are so easily and j quickly consummated and may ,be speedily dlsolvCd that it ! might complicate legal matters j to change a name so often. But as I come to think of It there is no personal legal ownership ! in communist Russia. Why ! should such an Irregularity In I American customs exist among lour federal government cab inet? j Are we laying ourselves open to a collectivism where there Is no private ownership of any kind of property? Do we want to be slaves or vassals to a "state capl- 'talist" government? These are questions that confront us NOW. j Professor Harry A. Overstrcet, president of the American Asso ciation for Adult Education re- icently said: ! "I have seen a world change before my eyes from a world of I Individuals to a world of pres sure groups. I am still convinc ed that the cultivation of individ uals is that upon which the ;long range hope of democracy I must rest." I Again I quote: "We must stick to the doctrine of individ- iiialism if our way of life is to sur vive war or no war." Then what is individualism? CiYYinlv thic Vniir ritrht of free- ' Hnm nf nvnrnMinn nf thnllpht. to ! jiccumulate private property and money without any infringmcnt I or abridgment. The individual, oot the state, is the unit of ou'- American way of life. Colleetiv ' isms seems to be slowly encroach ling upon our liberty. .Isn't the lli-end toward group domination! !of the individual dangernus? I Paul Garrett stresses the nnlnt that history shows that every contribution to better Pving and I thinking has come through the sacrifices, efforts and Ingenuity f the individual. It was not through collect ism or any collective thought or work that we have electricity. It was not a collective group work ing under a pressure government with all individual initiative sub jected to that government that gave us the automobile, the broadcast and radio Invention. It is the individual with freedom of thought and Initiative who gave us the airplane, the ships that plow the ocean and. swim like fish under the waters. Do we want like the galley slaves of Rome to be put to our work regardless of our likings by an autocratic state capitalist government. When the government owns all the land, the factories, public utilities, it owns us and we must do Its bidding In every particular, work where it says, live where it bids, accept our allowance for support of our families as they will. Do we want this? If we give all authority Into the hands of one person and the pressure group surrounding him, who can prevent it ? Let us pledge allegiance to the flag of the United Stales of America and the republic for visible with liberty and justice for all. MRS. EMMA P. WOODS. Bees Must Live in Trees to Be Free SALEM. July 28. I API Bees which live in trees can't be regu lated by the state apiary inspec tor, who must confine his inspec tions, to bees living In hives, said DAILY DEVOTlbNS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS The main message of the Book of Daniel - was. always one of encouragement In the midst of a great crisis. In spite of your sufferings said the author, do not despair, God's help is sure and certain. He is in control of history. He rules according to the prin :iples of justice. He will sure ly deliver His people. Loyalty to God and the Jewish rel glon is the primary duly of the faithful. Die If need be, said Daniel,, for death makes no difference. - All faithful men and women will be raised from the dead to enjoy the new age of glory and of triumph. The six stories which make up the first half of the book all lend them selves to this main purpose. They all show how men of earliest days suffered for their religion but were deliv ered. Nebuchadnezzar arro gantly declared that by his own power he had built Baby lon. God could not, did not tolerate such arrogance. He, Nebuchadnezzar, grew hair like eagle's feathers, his fing er nails like bird's claws, and he ate grass like oxen. In the end he was forced to acknowl edge that God was the only reality behind all things. Dan iel in the lions' den is the most familiar of the six stories and he was true to his God and his religion, and his God deliver ed him in his trial. Amen. the attorney general today. - The Inspector had asked if he had authority to destroy diseased bees living in trees. The attorney general said he couldn't, but he added that any one who objects to diseased bees which live in trees could go to court an get an injunction for the abatement of a nuisance. ast Oregon Growers Urged to Hold Prices Up MILTON-FREEWATER, July 28. (AP) Prune growers and shippers requested today that their members refuse to make sales which would tend to weaken the market. j They said a block of 45 cars of j-irewrtiu pi uiius suiu in oicago at 65 cents, netting growers less than $20 a ton. The local control committee, headed by Wilbur Stadlcman, has asked for govern ment purchases at prices netting growers $25 a ton. ' ; . Growers are considering pro cessing prunes barreling them In brine, canning without sugar, drying and pulping for export under the lend-lease act or to hold for future consumption. Governmental purchases would take approximately 350 cars of local prunes, removing what might become an unmarketable surplus, and leave 100 cars for commercial distribution, the aver age crop for this district but somewhat under 1941 shipments. Portland Ward Store Long Closed is Reopened PORTLAND, Ore., July 2G. -(AP) - Montgomery Ward & Company's Portland store, closed by a strike since May 3, reopened Monday with 300 employes at work in mail order and retail de partments.
