" Mascficld POETS have written the songs of the sea' and of the bold men who accept the challenge of the vast white watery waste. And though wo have come far since our copper-colored aborigines first gazed In awe at the gray sails of the ships of Columbus, the' spirit of men who go down . to the sea hasn't changed since ftomer's day. Listen to this: "Then the sub fired a shell from 50 yards away, and the ship . rolled over. I jumped Into tiw leaky boat . . . and for 11 days we alternated In balling out water. Tho two boats kept close togeth er most of the time. . , . We signaled a plane overhead and got no answer . . . For three days there was no wind . . . then we saw smoke and' a ship picked us up . . . .1 guess wo Uould have stood it another .three Jays after that, no food." That is an excerpt from tho etory of a survivor of a merchant resscl sunk off the Atlantic coast. A leaky boat no friendly wind to fill a crudely Improvised sail and down to the last mouthful of food! . But a few days ashore, and the same men shove off again. These men wear no uniforms. No gold braid. Just old' nonde script clothes, tho kind many oC t's send to the church rummag-; sales. They are grizzled by wind and weather, or soiled with the gilmc of the boilers they stoke as their ihips churn on through waters where a torpedo may find the bowels of their boat at any moment. There plenty of Mat-Arthur in these men. More than 100 merchant ships have been sunk by submarines orf American shores since we en tered the war. About hair of them were American craft. Many of the ships. Indeed most of them', were not even armed. Arms or no arms, when the day came for lliest- ships to sail there were men who stepped forward to sail them. Most of us are people of the soil, and did not realize the work that these men were doing until the war brought II home to us. Now they are vilul to all we hold dear. They maintain the life lines across remote oceans to our men on the world's righting fronts, carrying I be tanks and planes for the men to fight with ami transporting the men them M'lves. Jlicy have seen the limbs of their comrades shaltere 1 by tor pedoes and shell fire. They have kicked about In a cold and oily sea, watching black smoke belch from the ship that was the "ily 1-ome they knew. There Iir.ve been starving, thirsting, des p.nring cays In leaK.v lifeboat oi on Irall i,.lls, tossef about at tlv n-.irty ot storm and wave. But they arc picked up- some of them and they tell their .stulies to curious land Tolk ashore. It sounds like a dream to us whose homes are reared on brick foundations. But after these seamen get their legs back under them, they go back down to the sea that invites their spirits with a call that will not be de nied. These are 'men who are fight ing our battles for us now. Their bold defiance of peril Is a pro mise that America shall not fall. i Situation Wanted 1UST as a reminder of what means to lose a war these days make a note of this: Many Britons, mostly retired rubber planters, had tHelr life savings Invested In Malayan rub ber. Then the Japs took Malaya. Today those Investors are look ing around for lobs. Most of them are too old and never ex pected to work again. That's not as bad as a bullet through your heart, but It's still pretty tough Editorials on1 News (Continued from page 1.) operations of the moment. Stra tegy is concerned with long-range plans.) THE point is this: As the Japs spread' them selves farther and farther and thinner and thinner, they will need MORE AND MOKE navy and MORE AND MORE air force. If it Is true that both their navy and their air force is SHRINK ING, every new campaign (such as Australia and India) will push incm farther out on the limb. TTHEY are building frantically, of course both naval ships and airplanes. But" lis if generally conceded that If we nut every thing wo have Into It we can OUTBUILD the Japs. BRITAIN'S offer to India is jsttllljr 1 L VtlllCll. It Includes: Dominion status ArTER THE WAR, With the right to secede. The possibility of TWO self- governing Indlas one for the 77 million Moslems and tho other for tho 240 million Hindus. Crlpps says in a speech. In which he outlines the proposals: "The British people Wish to give India tho same constitution as Great Britain." THE executive committees of the All-India National Con gress (HlndU) and the Moslem League are deliberating these proposals and' It is unlikely that decisions will be reached before the end of the week. pRIPPS make it clear that de fense of Iildl must remain In Britain's hands during the War. mat seems reasonable. It Is extremely doubtful If tho Filipinos would have been able to put up the fight thev have Avilhou MacArthur's- leadership; British military leadershln will bo needed If India Is to put up mucn or a jignt at1 this late date against the Japs. ttfHETHER' India will put up a fight on the basis of (lie promises made by Crlpps. or will more or loss passivc-ly accept a change of masters remains to be seen. THE Germans (working, pre sumably from Norwegian bases) launch an air and naval attack on the British-American supply line to Russia. Tliev don't seem to have done so well. They claim the sinking of a 10,000-ton supply shin, but lnt n destroyer. The convoy was evil dently pretty well defended. DV. Falrham to Speak Orv Experiences in War IV.

St jL? lOTIltO UNDtt AUTHORITY Of THI COCA-COIA COMPANY IV y ' . " . Coco-Cola Bottling Company of Rojeburg. Ttlephont 184 TOU .TrUSt tS qUOlity " : WASHINGTON, D. C. April 1 Into the CCC camps of the Douglas fir and pine region of the northwest, extending from the coast across the mountains into Idaho and western Montana, will soon be thousands of lads whose principal occupation will be guarding against forest fires incendiary, lightning or camp ers. Aside from the forest fire work and some labor on military reservations, the once great army of CCC cnrollees which was more than a half million a few years ago,, is a thing of the past. Throughout the country there are now 600 camps and these Will be reduced on July 1 when the new fiscal year begins. But for the hazard of forest fire practically every camp in the far west wpuld be closed and boards battened over the win dows. Timber owners, the forest service and military officials stepped in to save the CCC out in the timber' lands. All recognize that the greatest menace to the region Is forest fire. This quali fies CCC as doing war work. No new camps will be establish ed, for there are in existence suf ficient for the. purpose, located where they can do the most good. Approximately 150 camps will be maintained and as each camp has a company of 200 men this makes a force of some 30,000 watching tor the red wolf of the forest. In money it will represent $30,000, 000 for one year's maintenance, a small sum compared with the damage that could be occasioned by a forest conflagration. Originally it was the intention to give the enrollees a touch of military training (that was when the camps started) but Harrv Woodring, then assistant secre tary of war, brought down the wrath of peace loving Americans when he made the announcement and, in view of this overwhelm ing resentment, the plan was abandoned. Several million young men now in the ranks or to be in ducted would have had a modi cum of experience had the train in? taken nlnpp I Young men arc now being sought for enrollment for the northwest camps to be ready when the fire season opens. Election Influencing Hit By seven votes the house of representatives, in the committee of the whole house, rejected an amendment which would pre vent any funds for Bonneville Grand Coulee administration from being used directly or indi rectly to influence public utility elections. The author was Repre sentative Jones of Ohio, who was opposed by Representatives Lca vy and Hill of Washington and Pierce of Oregon. In offering his amendment Jones said: "I am in terested In seeing that the federal government docs not spend raon- thlmblerig elections irt DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS Ask ye what great thing I know That delights and stirs me so; What the high reward I win? Whose the name I glory In? Jesus Christ the crucified. i Who defeats my fiercest foes? Who consoles my saddest' woes? Who revives my fainting" heart, ' Healing all its hidden smart? Jesus Christ the crucified. Who is life in life to me? Who the death of death will be? Who will place me on His right, With the countless hosts of light? Jesus Christ the crucified. This is that great thing I know, This delights and stirs me so; Faith in Him who died to save, Him who triumphed o'er the grave, Jesus Christ, the crucified. Amen. Washington and Oregon. I be lieve the figures of the bureau of budget show some 265 part-time employes of Bonneville power ad ministration for this kind of work. It is damnable that money should be spent In that way when it is claimed in behalf of these appropriations that they are all for national defense." Jones said the payroll of the field men waa $57,698 and with other expenses made a total of $103,000 "for thimble rigging elections." Cannery Problem Poised Office of price administration is writing to the canneries of the northwest asking for information that is not available. OPA wants to know what the canneries will pay for the raw product from the farms this year and what they expect to charge for the finished product. Canners come back with the explanation that no one, a! this tl.Tie, knows what it will cost to harvest the fruit, berries, and vegetables, for it is impossible t forecast what wages must be paid. There is a labor shortage and this will play a part in prices. Then there is the matter of tin for containers, etc. The canners are as anxious as OPA to know the answers. , Booklet Tells How to Conserve Auto Equipment "Drive it safely brothel',, yo'u can't get another!" That' is the title of a booklet containing hints on how to make motor vehicle equipment last longer which has been made avail able to Oregon motorists free of cost, Earl Sncll, secretary of state, announced today. The booklet, containing mater ial prepared by the national safety council, will be sent to groups or individuals interosted in conserv ing tires, gasoline, oil, batteries and other items of automotive equipment. The booklet' may be obtained by writing the secretary of state's Of fice, traffic safety division, Sa lem, Oregon.
