Farawtll, Steamboat CCC THE people of Douglas county have always liked the CCC troopers and have appreciated the excellent work the organiza tion has done in this area. It is with sincere regret that we sec , the various camps broken up. Although all of the several camps have done noble work In building roads and trails and other improvements, the camp at Steamboat has been the parti cular favorite of many of us here in Roseburg. Possibly It would be more accurate to say that , we have been most interested in the Steamboat camp because of the . work those boys have been do ing. If It had not been for the fine efforts of the several com panies that have occupied the Steamboat camp it Is certain the road to Diamond lake would not have been put through. How many years longer It would have taken to get that unfinished link ; connected up between Steamboat and Big Camas if the CCC had not done the job no one can guess. The project was begun some 50 years ago. It is our good fortune and In fact it is the good fortune of all of Oregon, that the Steamboat camp was manned long enough to complete the forest road from Roseburg to Diamond lake. Ore gon needs thut route through the Cascades although It has not yet been discovered by countless thousands who have yet to en Joy the new and beautiful drive. Sunday the CCC company at Steamboat had Its farewell ban quet. The camp is closed. There Is more work to be done in that area but it will either be done piecemeal with meager annual forest appropriations or will not be done at all. There will be no more CCC work there for some time to come. Possibly after the war emergency is past (here will be another CCC but at present we cannot even vision that through the mists of world confusion. Poison Oak Cure IK. It really works, readers of this newspaper who h a v e I benefited by the advice may for ward their thanks to the editor of the Oregon Statesman, Salem, for the following information about curing that miserable hu man ill known as poison oak: "Many laymen will tell you . they know of a sure 'cure' for ; poison oak. Some physicians . may prescribe such a 'cure.' But ' the medical profession as a whole has held to the view that ; there was none. Treatment, yes. But aside from the process usual ; ly known as 'Immunization' ' which more accurately means '. the development of neutralizing ; substances in the blood, tile treat- ment has involved letting the dis ease run its course, meanwhile . relieving Its discomfort and so far as possible preventing spread of the infection. Constant daub ing with calamine lotion has been the standard process. "Now the California Medical association II scums that Iwlh poison oak and poison ivy are prevalent In California has hern advised by Dr. Edwin V. Patton, Los Angeles, of an actual 'cure, which gets rid of the poi son within 36 hours, no matter how long the patient has been afflicted. He warns that it is an 'heroic' treatment not to be at tempted without the aid of a physician. "The trouble with (lie poison oak chemical is that It is not sol uble in water, only slightly sol- ublc In alcohol. Soapsuds will re move part of It. "But, says Dr. Patton, It dis solves readily in benzine. Mop ping up the poison successively in small areas of skin with cot ton pledgets soaked In benzine will remove most of the poison; gentle scrubbing will remove more; but the process may have to be repeated once or twice. If resort to this treatment is had soon after the infection ap pears, it Is not especially pain ful. But If the skin has been of j broken, it's a strenuous business - land sedatives may be required. Another warning b e n z i n e va pors are Inflammable. So for various reasons, this Is no 'cure' to bo attempted by the layman. But Dr. Patton says It works." Editorial on Newt (CoeUauad front pa 1.) lost 6,000 tanks to the Russians' 5,000; 8,000 cannon to the Rus sians' 7,000 and 6,000 planes to the Russians' 4,000. That doesn't check so well The figures, as given, sound like a made-up story. ACCORDING to the red army " today, no Stalin line EVER EXISTED. It was invented by the Germans, the Soviets say, to Justify their huge losses. Again the story clicks. Well In formed military men have said all along thut the Stalin line (in the sense of a fixed, fortified line, such as the Maglnot) is a myth. And as to the nazl claim of 850,000 prisoners the Russians explain that the advancing Ger mans mobilize the entire popula tion of the captured districts for hard labor and drive them to the rear, labeling them us pri soners. That ulso sounds reasonable. "THERE'S apparently a hen on In Iran. Eden tells the house of com mons the Germans In Iran are dangefous to Iran's Independence. Britain Is said to have requested Iran to kick the Germans out. Ankara says the Germans have warned Iran of severance of dip lomatic; relations if the Ger mans are expelled. TTAKE a look here ut your map. You'll sec that Iran Is SURE to get hot it and when the Ger mans advance deeper into the Ukraine. TODAY'S new rumor: Istanbul (Turkey) says the British are prepared to send sev eral divisions of Indian troops through Afghanistan to bolster Russian's defenses in the oil rich Caucasus. Afghanistan, this report says, will formally pro test but ultimately yield. Afghanistan lies between In dia and Iran. Your map will tell you about It. "THESE Istanbul rumors pan 1 out surprisingly often. Istan bul was several days ahead on the German attack on Russia.) TODAY'S low-down on the ex plosive Ear East: Plenty of big talk on both shies, but STILL NO SHOOTING. Strikes End at Two of Eleven Northwest Mills PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 12. (AP) - Federal Labor Conciliator Jesse E. .lacobson left for Seat tle today In an effort to end the tie-up of northwest cereal pro cessing mills. Two small plants at Pendleton, Ore., and Waitsburg, Wash., re opened yesterday with employes agreeing to a 71-cent-anhour wage Increase. Another 2i cents will be added after six months. Strikes continued at nine other mills, wltli employes asking from 10 to I2S cents hourly In creases. Employers have (il fri ed 74 cents. .lacohson was to discuss the Waltsbtirg and Pendleton strike solutions with employers In Se attle. George V. I hives, secretary-treasurer of the North p;,. rific Allllers' association, saiil the two mills took Independent action, and Ihe others would not necessarily follow suit. Former City Treasurer Adams of Portland Dies PORTLAND, Aug. 12. I API William Adams, 67, Welsh iin. migrant boy who became Port land's treasurer for .'ID ve.-irs. died last night of u heart at tack. Ho came to Portland at I I, and worked for a telegraph company for 22 years, starting as a mess enger hoy.

R. To Prevent Inflation WASHINGTON, Aug. 12. ( API President Roosevelt au thorized the federal reserve board yesterday to take any lawful steps necessary to control Install ment credit as a means of check ing inflation. The president signed un execu tive order designating the board ot governors of the federal re serve system as the agency fo regulating transfers of credit in cooperation witli other govern ment officials. , ' The . board was authorized, whenever it deemed such action necessary or appropriate, to take "any lawful steps herein author ized and such other lawful step us are within its power to cany out the purposes of this order." Federal reserve experts told re porters that roughly 50 per cent of installment buying was in the automobile industry. ' rite president's order, entitled "regulation of. consumer credit," paid that a large volume of cred it was being devoted to f inane Ing and refinancing purchases ol consumers' goods and services through extensions of credit us ually made to individuals and tr. a large extent on an installment payment basis. The liberal terms for such credit, the order said, tend tc stimulate demand for consumers durable goods the production ol which requires materials, skills and -equipment needed for nation al defense. The extension of such credit in excessive volume, the order con tinued, "tends to generate infla tionary developments of Increas ing consequence as the limits of productive capacity are approac'i ed in more and more fields and to hinder the accumulation of savings available for financing the defense program." The board's authority under the executive order covered the whole scope of installment credit, except on residential building or loans made for business purposes to a business enterprise or for agricultural purposes to a per son engaged in agriculture.

Costa Rican Spot Like Shangri-La To Melrose Youth Latter From Federal Worker Describes Charm, Beauty of San Jose, Found on Visit The story of his visit to an Ideal community in Costa Rica Is Interestingly told In a letter to his mother, Mrs. A. T. Aram, who i lives in the Melrose district, by her son, Lloyd V. Aram. Young Arant is engaged In work for the government and Is located In the Canal Zone. Mrs. Arant has consented to publication of the letter, which describes a holiday trip by air to the Costa Rican paradise. The letter follows: July 11, 1941 Dear folks: I said that I would write Mon-1 day but haven't had time until to-1 day. I took off a few days and ' flew to San Jose, Costa Rica, over i the Fourth. It was sure a won- derful trip. A fellow I know is ' n officer in the air corps and has a plane which six of us char tered Just for the gas and oil. We left the morning of the Fourth! and got there in the afternoon af-! ter having stopped in David, Panama, for a little while. It only takes three hours to fly up there and is about 500 miles from here. San Jose is a regular Shangri- la. There's nothing better that I've seen. As you fly in, the jungle suddenly leaves off and it is a valley surrounded by moun tains. Ihe ground Is all squared off In coffee plantations and San Jose in Is the middle. It is 4000 feet high and, . the climate the year round is like spring. Peo ple wear drk clothes and at night you can stand a topcoat. The climate is quite a bit like Mexico City's only it Isn't so high. It's the capital of Costa Rica and ; the city is clean. There aren t so many mansions as In Panama City, but the slums aren't so big either. There are a lot of middle class homes, which is rather rare in Latin America. The airport is particularly beautiful, all green with a concrete runway and a Spanish-style architecture build ing. They have dances out there on Sunday afternoon. The people are white and lots of them have blond hair and blue eyes. It was sure a relief after Panama with all its negroes and Chinamen and soldiers and sail ors. What was particularly nice was not to be always feeling sticky from so much mositure in the air. I have never seen so many bnautiful girls in all my life as I saw up there. I went to one dance where It was crowded and in all the crowd I only counted The ,e me whe and ,ots number mon at Ieasl ton to one-! Americans are at the top of the sraal register no manor wnai they are like tlllU there beino ."V " " """" 'i""1 a I rore'n promenade. The only ! trouble Is that you have to know a gin ai least a year oeiore sne can stay up later than 10 o'clock. Everything is cheap there. For a dollar you get five coloncs and 85 cenfavos and one colon will go almost as far as a dollar. You can rent a taxi (and all the taxis j are 1911 Buicks or Packards) for two dollars a day . It was quite a shock to get back to Panama Where thc money was worth so much less. And another thing was their extreme politeness; not like down here where the Pana manians treat Americans as if we were scum. Board, room, laun dry, and cleaning costs about S37.50 a month. Not many people there speak English and I had a lot of fun trying to make myself understood with the Spanish that I've learn ed. They speak very good Spanish there instead of the peon Spanish that is spoken in Panama. We left the morning of the seventh. When we got halfway we landed and found out that the weather was so bad In Panama City that we couldn't go on so had to stay all night. We stopped at David, just a little town, but it did have a fairly good hotel. It was at least clean. The night we were there they brought in the bodies of the German-Swiss colonists that the Panamanian police had killed in a batter In Chiriqul a few miles from there. Wc got back to the office Tues day morning about 11 o'clock all tired out and sure hating to go back to work. Sure hope I get to go back up there before I leave Panama. More Police Sought to Curb Orgy of Sex Crimes WASHINGTON'. Aug. 12. (API A number of murders and rapings in Washington since Jan uary led Rep. Cochran (D.-Mo. I to say today he would introduce a bill to provide an additional 100 policemen for tlie nation's capi tal. "With 19 raiio cases recorded since January 1." said Coihran, DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A, EDWARDS We human beings are so constructed that it is easy for us to evade the logical appli cation to ourselves of such a truth as ' that God knows everything. We need to make truth meaningful to ourselves by realizing it In personal terms. This the psalmist did. Let us borrow his words for our own use: "Thou hast searched Me and known Me." Wc ere -fortunate, -in.taid. thr.t He who has searched us, and know n us has not looked only for the bad In us. He sees our downslttlngs, and our upris ings. A friend of our mission ary cause asked a missionary to tell him the weaknesses in a certain work. The reply came Immediately in strong and forceful speech: "Now, tell me of the strength of that work." The missionary hesi tated, began slowly, stopped, tried again, then in great confusion said, "I'm sorry that I cannot answer you. If that particular work has any element of strength, I do not know them, perhaps I have looked only for its weaknesses. God sees both sides, not only our sins, but the good within us that makes us lament them, and long for higher and better living. Amen. "no other argument should be necessary for immediate action by the congress in passing my bill. "No. where has there come to my attention a condition any where near approaching the rec ord of attacks on women as in the District of Columbia." Police announced Sunday that a 34-year-old negro had confess ed he assaulted a 15-year-old daughter of a government em ployee last week. Police also said they had a confession from an other alleged rapist. A third rap ist was convicted and sentenced to death by electrocution. Dr. Carl S. Knopf Named President Of Willamette U.

JUDSON BAILEY (Associated Press Sports Writer) The battle between the Brook lyn Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals for the pennant in the senior circuit is as exciting as the "Perils of Pauline" with the buzz-saw getting closer at the ;n.7 cf. wor-.;.lrtallrrcn- . . . The Dodgers bashed down hard on the New York Giants yester day, 15-7, and the St, Louis Car dinals conquered the Chicago Cubs, 7-5, to continue their neck-and-neck race with the Dodgers still in front by the slen der margin of .003. Highbe pitched and batted thc Dodgers to their triumph, his 16th. He checked the Giants k seven hits. v The Dodgers took charge In the first inning with seven runs, three of them on Medwlck's 15th homer and two on a single by Higbe with the bases loaded. They rounded up six more in the sixth when Highbe doubled with the bases filled. In addition 1 Brooklyn's 17 hit offensive includ ed two other singles by Higbe and Camilli's 22nd homer. The Cardinals likewise nailed down their victory early, taking a 6-1 lead in the first four frames, but it took a magnificent relief pitching performance by Gumbert to save it for them. In the fifth Warncke was pelted for succes sive home runs by Cavarretta, Hack and Nicholson. Then Gum bert hurried on the scene and pitched no-hit ball for 4 2-3 innings. In the only other National league contest the Phillies whip ped the Boston Braves, 6-3, fqc Beck's first victory of the yeflAj The tail endcrs collected 15 hits. The listless New York Yan kees, so far in front of the Ameri can league that few people pay any attention to them, were shut out, 80, by the Boston Red Sox as Jack Wilson pitched four-hit ball for his first complete game of thc season. The White Sox went on to win, 14-9, with Appling batting in five runs in leading a 14 hit attack. The Browns captured the night cap, 10-3, with a 17-hit assault for Caster's first victory of the year. League Standings (By the Associated Press) National. W.
