Incendiaries. Some of (ho domoli

in his dispatch) weigh a ton.
THE real Interest of the Klska
affair lies not so much In what
Is done by our planes as In what
is disclosed to us regarding the
progress of Jap operations during
the foe-bound months of the past.
The little yellow men, (oiling
like ants, day and night, havo
leen building a runway for land
based FIGHTER planes. On the
rocky, precipitous Island they
have faced tremendous difficul
ties, and Hums Intimates that
without heavy equipment they
have been practically ten-lug
down hillsides with their hands
and filling up cullies with wheel
barrows In order to provide a
level spot sufficiently large fur
planes to take off and land.' '
THEY haven't been doing all
that, you may be siiro, just tor
Hie exercise. Uurns thinks they
havo It In mind to make of Kiska

JOYRIDERS NEED CURBING
.EDITORIAL.
By Charlts V. Stanton
ERW1N SHOK I'. chief of police for the city of Roseburtf, has
announced that officers of the force have been instructed
to crack down on youthful joy riders. Steps to put a curb on
useless speeding and noise-making by motorists will be must
welcome to city resident who have made numerous complaints
regarding conditions which prevail particularly on Saturday
nights. Many youths, who evidently attend the late show,
have adopted a practice of racing their automobiles through
the residential districts, with horns and throttles wide open.
Such disturbance, often continuing into the small hours of the
morning, :s entirely unnecessary, completely aside from the
useless waste of gasoline and rubber.
Gasoline ration books are to be confiscated when offenders
arc arrested, the police chief ctates, and he adds a word of
warning to parents. If Junior misuses Dad's car and is found
guilly of disturbing the peace there is danger that the family
car will be made useless by confiscation of the gasoline cou
pons for periods consistent with the seriousness of the offense.
Il is difficult for the city's limited police force to effectively
control such conditions and the offending drivers are apparently
taking advantage of the situation. However, the police chief
states, steps are being taken to provide means for apprehend
ing offenders and warning is given that there must be no more
excessive speeding, horn-tooting and other unnecessary noise.
1 he new OPA regulations covering meats, cheese and fats
very probably will result in most serious and critical reaction.
One thing the OPA apparently has not taken into consideration
is the probable effect upon production. A logger, shipyard
worker or other essential workman engaged in hard physical
labor cannot long continue to do efficient work on the scanty
meat ration provided under the OPA ration regulations. Sol
diers in training or in active service are provided with from one
o two pounds of meat per day.

and their health must be as well protected. It will be surpris

efficiency when the new rules and limitations become effective.

Crops Increase
Outlook Offers No
Boon to Consumer
WASHINGTON', .March 22.
(API A government report that
farmers plan to plant more food
and livestock feed crops this year
has lightened concern over threat
ened slioiiages, but tailed to in
dicale any easing of existing and
proposed consumer restrictions.
Such was the consensus of
sources close to Secretary of Agrl-
culture W ckard as they s zed up
, . ...,, '
,i suivi-) iii mi? it.-ut-i i 1.1 ujj im
porting board showing that the
total prospective acreage of ma
jor crops was about 3.5 per cent
larger than a year ago when the
nai ion's food output reached a
record level.
While the survey indicated gen
eral planting increases, prospects
! still, in some cases, are short of
I goals set by Wickard. The goals
! were designed to reflect total de
I mauds upon American agricul
ture, including this nation's civil-
ian and military needs and limit
i ed lend lease requirements (o her
I allies.
I For (lie immediate future, the
survey, which offered consumers
little hope of easing fresh vege-
lat)lo spoilages, i lie board saiu
that reports on early vegetables
in tne southern slates, Arizona
and Calilornia indicate plantings
11 per cent below the acreage har
vested last year. Chief 1'eductiuns
were said lo bo in (he early crops
nl onions, tomatoes, peas and cab
bage. The crop board's survey which
Wickard said contained "grali-
tying news'

Add Small Fruit
To Home Garden
As part ot the food-tor-victory
scries of publications from the ex
tension service at O. S. C. are two
bulletins on recommended small
fruits for eastern and western
Oregon.
"Home garden small fruit
plantings are more Important
than ever because of wartime
changes in production, consump
tkjn,.and distribution of food
ehips," says O. T; McWhorter, ex
tension horticulturist, in an in
troductory statement. "It may be
come more and more difficult
and costly to obtain small fruits
for home use during the war.
Small fruit plantings may become
a part of home gardens where
there is space for them and time
for their care."
While one cannot get as quick
results wilh fruit as with garden
vegetables, strawberries will bear
full crops the next year after be
ing sot and some varieties, par
ticularly everbearing, may pro
duce some the first season. Cane
fruits bear lightly the second
year after planting and come into
full bearing the third and follow
ing years.

There's lots of good music ir,
store for you Thursday night.
"Treasure Hour of Song" (13:301
is a special concert of Latin
American music with Llcia Ai
banese, soprano, and Juan Arvi7.u,
South American tenor. Don't mis
understand us this is not music
in the "Souse Amairican Way" a
la Carmen Miranda it's two top
flight opera singers going all
out for the good-neighbor policy
and entertaining the diplomats
from our southern neighbors at
one and the same time. We owe
some good little grohm a "coke"
for putting "Chicago Theatre of

at 8:00. This week you'll hear
"Cavalleria Rusticana," with Ma
rion Claire and Eugene Conley
singing the leads. The only fly in
the ointment Is the Colonel

ists. They will be broadcasting
from the First Presbyterian
church, with Florence Grow help
ing out at the console of the or

ists. We caught a snatch of one
young lady's number (missed her
name) and now we're willing to
bet you'll hear more of her some
of these days. Tune In without
failyou'll be amazed, and pleas
antly surprised to know that we
have such a fine musical organi
zation here. Our sincere congratu

hearty salute to her for the time
and work she has expended. Here
are two notes for Friday a. m.:

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
Symbolism Is the shorthand
of philosophy. The symbol of
the cross speaks volumes on
the suuject of Christian theol
ogy, yet to the one who
through fellowship with Christ
has entered into its deeper
meaning, it speaks very sim
ply. What does it say? It says
lhat life and not death is the
destiny of man, that ultimate
reality is found not on earth
but in hcav-in, not in the ma
terial but in .he spiritual, thai
God and not man speaks the
last word, that eternity, not
rime, is the measure of His
purpose. Life as viewed from
the perspective of the cross
takes on its true meaning and
our daily tasks become truly
significant. If we can believe
in what the cross symbolizes
and live our lives in the light
of that belief, it shall become
indeed a sign of victory, for
many years the slogan of the
church has been: "In This Sign
I Conquer."
"I saw the Cross of Jesus
When burdened with my sin
I sought the Cross of Jesus,
It gave me peace within;
T brought my sins to Jesus,
He cleansed them by His
blood;
And in the Cross of Jesus
I found my peace with God."
