for yourself too, If you can.)
For one thing, Fred's method
was a lot less painful than having
rheumatism in a j'int; and a lot
less fatiguing than hunting all
through a forest looking to see
what the wild animals were do
ing. Of course, one might have been
able to find an Indian, and he'd
have known all about what the
weather would be. All Indians
know that. But don't forget that
evert so he wouldn't have been al
lowed to tell anyone.
In all seriousness, I don't see
why the government couldn't
have let McCallister, the weather
man here, continue dishing out
his usual run of Information, for
publication. If that one act
wouldn't have done a miraculous
job of confusing the enemy and
rendering him slap-happy with
Indecision as to what the weather
actually was going to be, I'm a
bigger liar than I even think I
am. For that's the way 'It worked
on us. '
Canal Defenses "Ready,"
Word Received Here
Mrs." W. G. Gildersleeve, 828
Hoover street, received a letter
this week from her daughter,
Mrs. Jerome F. Evans of Balboa,
Panama Canal Zone, which con
tained assurance that the zone's
defenses were in readiness, and
there was no reason to fear an
immediate attack.

GRANTS PASS, Ore., Jan. 1.
(API With the fate of more than
200 southern Oregon workmen
on mid-Pacific isles uncertain, a
payless winter threatened their
families.
Checks for November work, ex

Chinese suggested that the situa
tion of Changsha, capital of Hun
an province and a silk producing
center, was grave.
On the north Kiangsi front the
Chinese said they stormed a
Japanese base at Kao-An Mon
day and inflicted heavy losses.
Enemy detachments which en

been under constant attack from
surrounding heights, the Chinese

Support Urged On
Douglas for Work
Facing Red Cross
Disaster relief units of the
American Red Cross are mobiliz
ing in chapters throughout Ameri
ca to meet the threat of Indis
criminate bombingi Chairman C.
M. McDermott of Douglas county
Red Cross chapter declared today
in asking our all-out support of
the American Red Cross $0,000,
000 fund for American war re
lief. "For a number of years," Mr.
McDermott pointed out, "the dis
aster service of the Red Cross has
been preparing itself not only for
fire and hurricane but for air at
tack and large scale sabotage.
Now, as war comes to America,
its work looms bigger every min
ute." Word has come, he said, that
chapters in Hawaii during the
recent raids were right on the
ib- carrying out rescue work and
giving extensive relief to the
wounded and homeless. Red
Cross personnel and volunteers
removed civilians from the dang
er zones. Ten emergency medi
cal stations, established there by
the Red Cross some months ago,
have given valuable service dur
ing this emergency. In the Philip
pines, thousands of trained volun
teers were ready and were quick
ly mobilized.
"Its disaster service,"' he con
tinued, "Is just one Red Cross
Service which must bo enlarged to
meet our great crisis. More thou
sands of volunteers must be train
ed into Its 'Kinks. Welfare and
medical services for our armed
forces must undergo 'vast expan
sion,, and every branch of the Rod
Cross enter the field 'of battle
with flags flying. 'That' Is why a
minimum of $50,000,000 is needed
to .finance the program. , Let's
not wait another day. Let's make
our contribution right now and
show that Douglas county is one
hundred per cent strong behind
its Red Cross and the service of
Its country."

New Year's Revelry in
U. S. Costs Lives of 61
(By the Associated Press)
Violent death brought tragic
endings to new year celebrations
of at least 61 persons, victims of
automobile crashes, homicides,
falls and other causes.
Traffic took the larger share of
the toll, 40 deaths, while miscel
laneous causes accounted for the
other 21.
The national safety council said
the degree of care exercised by
motorists and pedestrians on new
year's eve might mean the dif
ference between a new record
traffic death list of nearly 40,000
for 1941 or a total short of 1937's
mark of 39,643.
The national death total over
the Christmas holiday was 431,
consisting of 334 traffic and 97
from other causes.

Nazis Preparing
Attack on Turkey,
Observer Reports
Suffering Grec Setae of
Large-Seal Activity to
Shift Blltikrleg East
ISTANBUL, Turkey, Jan. 1
(AP)-An observer arriving from
Greece has given the allied tmth-
orties here imormation oi rxtrns-1
ive axis military activity in"
Greece and has described the tra
gic extent to which German-Italian
plundering has brought on
famine In that conquered land.
The Germans, he stated, are
building new airports In Greece
and the Greek Islands close to
Turkey, are practicing air Inva
sion tactics similar to those used
against Crete, and are building up
a submarine force In the Aegean
sea. New air bases have been
constructed on the occupied is
lands of Mytllene, Chios and
Samos all less than 15 minutes
flying time from the Turkish
shore and the Dardanelles.
Other new airfields outfitted
with steel-reinforced concrete run
ways surround Athens, this ob
server stated. He declared he
had seen the Germans practicing
with gliders attached to power
planes, each glider "capable of
carrying a truck, small tank or
20 troops." -Subs,
Eombs Stored.
The German commandant at
Athens, he went on, had requisi
tioned 3,000 rooms for air person
nel "expected from Russia." He
said he had learned that the axis
had put together a number of
prefabricated submarines for use
in the Aegan and possibly beyond.
Warehouses In the Athens area,
he went on, were "stuffed with
oversized bombs running between
1,250 and 2,500 pounds."
There has been another report
here that large numbers of Ger
man troops and marines are In
Grecian Thrace just west of the
Turkish border. In this area, thus
went the same account, French
artillery taken from the Maginot
line was seen, but Greek patriot
bands fighting constantly against
German convoys i In western
Thrace andi many never reach
their destination.: .
From Athens, Jt Is reported that
axis espionage bureaus, arc send
ing spies into Turkey, Iran, Syria
and Egypt under the master- Ital
ian spy Major Emllc Basslgnano.
Greek Suffering Told. 1
This same report described pur
ported first hand observation of
tho Greeks suffering from fam
ine caused by axis seizures of .the
conquered country's food.
The only fbod available was
said to be that supplied at fabu
lous prices by theft from axis
canteens. Very few benefit from
6xls illicit trade,' however, be
cause of the high prices demand
ed even for the simplest food and
tho unwillingness of the Greeks
to deal with the enemy.
Hundreds of bodies, mostly of
children, are picked u on the
streets every day, the report said,
picturing a horde of children
clawing In garbage cans for bits
of fruit and potato peelings.
Three secret Greek newspapers
were said to circulate from hand
to hand in the occupied Hellenic
capital, spreading principally
hopeful news selected from for
eign broadcasts.
