CLAUDE BAKER Carry on and strive to keep at your command Justice, freedom, democracy and helping hand; Auxiliary of the Legion, our task is not in vain Ever loyal we will be, Legion and auxiliary To the Red and White and Blue. This radio theme song must be our song of duty this year, re marked Mrs. Irvin Riegel, presi dent of Umpqua unit. All aid to the nation in the form of service in emergency volunteer civil de fense tasks must be given by the auxiliary, she said. Mrs. Victor Mlcelli has been ap pointed chairman of emergency service and is urging all mem bers who are not enrolled in some form of defense service to do so now. In what other group of women in America can you find hun dreds of trained hospital work ers, hundreds who have bene fited from child welfare schools of instruction or who have made a study of problems in national defense and of legislative proced ures, Mrs. Micelli asked. Roseburg's unit has members in the motor corps, rescue squads, first aid instructors, Red Cross production, hospital workers, air filter station warning service and in nutrition for better family liv ing. Miss Lucy Case, nutrition spe cialist from O. S. C, will hold a food demonstration beginning at ten o'clock Friday in the base ment of the Methodist church. Leaders and club women throughout the county arc urged to attend. Charming homemakers are be ing trained at senior high. Your president and the writer were priviledged to attend an Impres sive initiation ceremony Thurs day night. Daintily groomed in their flowing gowns the officers told how it was their purpose that each member of the home economics club should learn to be charming, cooperative and de pendable, and thus gain thcli goal of happiness. Happiness is also the desire of the Legion auxiliary for the dis abled veterans in our hospitals, explained Mrs. Walter Olmscheid, unit chairman of rehabilitation. To reach this goal the auxiliary spent more than a million dollars and gave friendly assistance to over 127,000 veterans last year, she said. Merry Christmas may be said by many a veteran to his family because of the gift shop at the hospitals, Mrs. Riegel said. In Roseburg, Colonel Tandy has set aside a room for gifts which are sent in by loving unit members. Each man may choose a gift for each member of his family. This is done because it is not always possible for the men to shop downtown. But the gifts are their own, given to them, and bearing no auxiliary tag, Mrs. Riegel stated. These are wrapped and mailed for the men. "We want nothing more," said Mrs. Olmscheid, "this year than that we shall as patriotic, Chris tian women, do our utmost for the disabled veteran. Christmas, the anniversary of the birth of the Prince of Peace, should in spire all Americans to rededicate their services to perpetuating peace for our beloved America. Our hope is to give those now In hospitals, happiness and cheer on Christmas. DO you have toys you would like to see some child receive this Christmas? Leave them at the fire hall where they will be gathered and repainted for the hundreds in Douglas county who look to the rest of us for happi ness on Christmas.

Started four years ago the pro ceeds from sales the first year were used to purchase a sound mo tion picture projector, which has had almost dally use since that time. Profits from the second year's campaign were used to pur chase a stage curtain. A sound system, consisting of a central panel, radio and speaker for each class room was purchased and In stalled with commissions obtained from the third year's campaign. The money raised last year was used to provide extra equipment for the activity clubs, the equip ment including ping-pong tables, chess sets, etc. It is planned to use profits from this year's sales to enlarge the sound system, obtain larger lenses and rewind equipment for the motion picture projector and purchase a large display case for trophies and to secure more equip ment for activity clubs.

"I his project, Mr. Brand said, "hus been adopted in the belief the people of Roseburg would ra ther have the commissions on their magazine subscriptions put to use for the benefit of our school system, rather than to go personally to itinerant salesmen.

Try itl Till Improv.d Wi Reported A. LF. Plans Should Not Cause Surprise U. S. Already at War With Axil, and Troops May Ge Overseas If Necessary By DeWitt Mackenzie (Wide WnrlH unt nnnlvatl The Chicago Tribune caused miW'h HlcMlculnl. h 1. U lo Ann,.. righteu report that a Joint army- navy Doaru has prepared a confl- eludes provisions for un American expeditionary force of 5,000,000 to fight the axis by July 1, 1943. That report will stir divers emo tions among the American public but surprise shouldn't be one of them. Surely there can be few people who don't recognize by this time that the United States is at war with the axis. Since this Is true, the logical corollary is that the government must be prepared to implement the commitment by action. This means that our army and navy chiefs must prepare plans, and they must do so before the event and not after It, unless we have been bereft of all reason. Every major power In the world has filed away In Its secret archives plans calculated to meet all sorts of hypothetical situations. It would be astonishing and most disconcerting to learn, for in stance, that our fighting branches didn't have detailed plans for our conduct In event of war with Japan. And the Japanese, shrewd people that they are, naturally are equally prepared. Allies May Need Men Most certainly if Hitler tries an invasion of Britain and that re mains a possibility the British will ask us for naval aid unless they are able to crush the nazl attempt right at the start. Should things go badly for the allies in the Mediterranean, there would be a demand for our navy. We don t need to rehash the dangers of the Japanese-American crisis. But what about an American expeditionary land force say the 5,000,000? Well, come the spring and the Intensified fighting, the allies are going to need well-trained and well-equipped man-power. It will be a surprise it they don't turn to Uncle Sam for It. The great call for man-power will come from the middle east and the Russian theater, as I view it. More and more 'it seems that this front will develop the decis ive land engagements of the war. As remarked before, ultimately the allies will undertake an in vasion of western Europe, but this can only come after the German resistance has been broken from other directions. The British have a great army in the British Isles for defense, or for western continental Invasion when the time is ripe. The Yan kees will be wanted In eastern Europe and the middle east as things look now. London Says Government Tries to Discredit Press TOPEKA, Kas., Dec. 5 (API Alf M.
