Swimming Pool Needed ' TREACHEROUS waters of the South Umpqua river have claimed two live within a period of one week. These deplorable , tragedies, bringing sorrow and - shock to the whole community, -- should serve to heighten and strengthen the determination that this community shall provide a . municipal pool, ft sale place for swimmers, at the earliest possible ' moment. Doubtless the construction Of a ' swimming pool will not entirely ' halt drowning accidents. Many ; swimmers still will resort to the ; river and shun the limitations of ' a pool. Such facilities, however, ' at least will relieve the commun '. Ity qf a part of Its responsibility .. and should, in a large measure, reduce the number of accidents. Youngor people will be afford ed a place In which , they may ' safely learn to swim bofore they venture Into more dangerous wa ter and will, therefore, be bettor fblq to save themselves and oth '; crs. Timid persons and poor swimmers will find relaxation , and recreation In the pool rathgn than take chances In more naz - ardous areas. The two recent tragedies, how ". ever, should servo to emphasize one of the cardinal rules of swim I mlng. This rule has been repeatod V timo and again but Its violation . has boon responsible for a great many deaths. The rule Is: never go Into the water unless capable ' and experienced swimmers are present. In nearly every accident '.' of recent years, drownings have " occurred away from the com J monly used bathing beaches. Por . sons swimming plane, or taking chances in spots out of reach of ,,. capable swimmers, are endanger . Ing the Uvea at themselves and others. Even the most export ' enced swimmers should never venture Into the water unless " help Is at hand in case of cmcr- gency. ; Swimming Is a great and ex ; hilarating cxcrclso. But, like any outdoor Bport, it offers certain ' dangers and requires the exercise '' of caution. There Is llttlo to fear If fundamental rules of safety are ,' observed. Steps toward construction of a municipal pool already have been ' taken. A considerable sum of - money has been donated through ' publio subscription. In addition, the city council has set aside money to bo used toward this project. The money avallablo still Is far below tho amount that will be necessary when restrictions on materials and construction are lifted and work can be started. In tho meantime every effort should be made to add to the fund. Con tributions should be Increased and municipal funds should be added os rapidly ,hs conditions will per mit. If this is done It may bo pos sible to have an ample sum on hand to start work when tho war Is over and labor and materials are available. Not one minute should be lost In providing a mu nlclpal pool. C. V. S. Editorials on N?w (Continued front fI 1-1 praisal of the progress of the war. Keep the long pull In mind. But don't let yourself think the Russians have the war won. IN Egypt the hard-hitting Aus ' trallans have come Into the picture again. One gathers from the tone of the dispatches that their arrival Is the chief reason lor the temporarily favorable turn In the battle, V Where they cam from Isn't Stated. Possibly from Australia. There has been time or (hem to come clear from home. As usual. Rommel gave way be fore their deadly bayonets. THE British Mediterranean navy S ontora tha nlntura tnn Ihn firct time since the present battle be gan, shelling Matruh. Appearance of the navy sug gests that our side still has con trol of the air In Africa. Other wise, naval participation in the fighting along the Egyptian coast would have been too dangorous to be risked. Egyptian fighting on a de cisive scale seems to be still wait ing for REINFORCEMENTS ON A DECISIVE SCALE. Whichever side gets adequate reinforcement FIRST will have the edge. THERE has been an Intriguing " development on the Western front. The British strike BY DAY LIGHT with new, ast-word, four- motor, up-to-now-secret Lancaster bombers at tho German U-boat nest at Danzig, on the Baltic. The number of these bombers partici pating Is not announced, but It Is stated that the loss was under five per cent, which Is extremely low for daylight operations. London says: "For hours these TOUGH planes (Indicating some thing new, probably heavily ar mored and gunned) flew over Germany's heavily guarded Baltic coast before slicing down to lay their bombs on Danzig's subma rine yards In the BRIGHT LIGHT of the northern evening." It was ft 1750-mile round trip, showing the growing range of modern aircraft. BY comparison 12 British planes " made a daylight raid on Augs burg, about half as far away from Britain as Danzig, In April, and ONLY FIVE roturnod, a loss oj around SO per cent, The Implication Is that they now have improved planes. TUB Japs and the Chinese report fighting, but elsewhere, ON THE SURFACE, there Is quiet. It must be regarded as an OMIN OUS quiet, while the rest of the world watches the progress of the fighting In Russia and prepares for eventualities. KRNR Mutual Broadoaatlng System, 1490 Kllooyolei.

Concerning the NORTHWEST ' As Viewed at the National Capitol By John W. Kelly ' : WASHINGTON, D. C, July 15. Labor shortage Is another Item on the headache list of the war Industries In Washington and Ore gon. There is too much of a turn over (one plant reported almost 50 per cent In one month) and the situation will become worse with the passing months unless Uncle Sam docs something about it. The solution is more housing. Despite the millions of dollars spent by the government for housing in Seattle, Bremerton, there -is pressing need for more dwellings or dormatories. In the Vancouver-Portland area, which will have 120,000 men employed in shipyards, the contractors are having more trouble hiring and keeping workers than In obtain ing steel for the ships. Spokane, with the big Industrial develop ment now under way, is crying for housing. Reasons for the heavy turnover, reports one contractor, is the fail ure to find a place to sleep. Work ers come to town, get a Job in a war Industry, struggle for a few days trying to locate a room, be come disgusted, quit and go to some other town. Wages are not responsible for the men leaving. To authorities In the national capital this problem has been presented. It has been pointed out that fiijlure of the federal gov ernment to build dormatories, units or trailers is jeopardizing the production bf ships, of alumi num, of airplanes; that contracts cannot be expedited if the needed workmen cannot be attracted to miles; over that mileage freight snouW g0 by rail.

EDWARDS "That I might behold the beauty of the Lord." We are charmed and made happy by the beauty In this world of ours. The earth, the stars, the sky, the sea, the hills, the val leys, these are all beautiful. When God created the heavens and the earth and looked upon His handiwork, He saw that It was good. The works of His creation are beautiful, for the Creator Himself is beautiful to behold. Let that expression Im press us as we are impressed with His majesty and power and glory. He is beautiful in His love, in His sympathy, in His grace, in His forgiveness, in His understanding, In His goodness and in His mercy. Words are utterly Inadequate to tell of all the beautiful quali ties and attributes of the Lord. His beauty attracts all who will dwell In His presence and seek to know Him. Let us lift Him up so that all men will be drawn to Him. It ls the privi lege of every Christian to give to the world a radiant idea of God. The psalmist earnestly desired to dwell in the presence of the Lord all the days of his life, and thus, dwelling with Hlnvwould acquire some of His beauty. "That I might be hold the beauty of the Lord." Amen. Washington, Oregon and Idaho that have no rail facilities and are dependent upon trucks for sup plies. Concealing The Truth The way war news ls being handled in the Alaska-Aleutian battle front is not satisfactory to people from the northwest resi dent ln the national capital. Ap parently news out of Alaska will be even more scarce with restric tions on civilian travel to the north. At the time the Japs were moving transports, under convoy of cruisers and destroyers, and digging in on the Aleutians navy department spokesmen asserted that we had not lost one rock. but the enemy took Attu, Agattu and Kiska, and these transports mean many men. Attack on Dutch harbor was insignificant, accord ing to official report, and the de struction and loss of life became known only when wounded and evacuees were landed in Seattle. No casualties nor losses of any kind were announced officially. It is true that the Aleutians Is a region of fog and the Ameri cans must wait until visibility is fair, but the same fogs have not prevented the enemy .-from taking three, at least, of the 'islahcfs; from landing a substantial num ber of troops and equipment; from obtaining a foothold on American soil. Between bombers and submarines some damage has been inflicted on enemy trans ports, cruisers and destroyers but details are lacking and no report on lost planes or casualties on the American side. Alaska and the Aleutians are an integral part of the Pacific northwest and any thing occurring in the north is ' . afler a All over again, the cheers are rising for good old Ten High!

THE WHISKEY WITH "NO ROUGH EDGES" Nabbed Nazi Spy Had Plans of New American Bomber ' NEW YORK, July 15. (AP) A German-born former Ameri can coast guardsman with a fancy name and a loose tongue was held ln $25,000 bail today on espionage charges..- Assistant FBI Director P. E. Foxworth said the accused spy, Washington Glendale Spiegel berg, 35, had on his person plans of the B-24 type bomber when ar rested in a long Island bar Sun day. In Detroit, where he was known as plain Alex Spiegel berg, a partner ln the Donelly Engineering corporation said last night that the spy suspeff "had full access to all drawings , of the four-engine bomber, man ufactured by Ford, during his employment as a process engi neer with the Donelly firm for the first four months of this year. The prisoner, born ' In Berlin while his father was in the U. S. consular service and therefore an American citizen, was found In possession of 18 plans, diagrams, drawings or blueprints of essen tial bomber parts when seized' on the tip of an army corporal who overheard him talking about them, Foxworth said. The FBI said Spigelberg was a fisherman, miner and sailor ln Alaska from 1929 to 1935r Nazi "Contact" Alleged, The New York Post said yes terday In a copyrighted story that Anthony Cramer, describe jK by the FBI as an associate of tv.W of the eight nazi saboteurs now on trial in Washington, worked in the Brooklyn navy yard as a shipwright ln ship construction work. Cramer was one of the 14 men and women arrested Monday and accused of aiding the nazis. He now is In custody of the FBI. The post said it had learned from letters of Cramer that the "43-year-old bundsmjan had ac cess to such closely-guarded war secrets as the movement of American and British warships to and from the navy yard and, with scant trouble, could have informed himself of damage to our warcraft through enemy ac tion. Cramer, a native of Germany, who was naturalized in 1936, was described by FBI Director J. Ed gar Hoover as a close friend of Werner Thiel, one of the eigbk saboteurs on trial. Hoover smj that Cramer admitted having been given $3,670 to keep for the .' saboteurs. Most of it was re covered by the FBI. Called To Maine R. L.
