Our General Doollttle's Flying Fortresses tie Into a convoy of 21 lank carriers, which gives us an Idea of how desperately the Ger mans are struggling to bring in reinforcements and supplies across the 100-milcs wide Sicilian straits whose waters every night appear lo be fairly crawling with every type of German trans port, Including transport planes. IT seems to bo quite plain that I (barring the unexpected) the battle of Tunisia will be from here on a holding operation, de signed by the Germans to delay us as much as possible. The delay they are able to bring about will depend to a large extent upon the supplies and re inforcements they are able to get across the straits from Italy by way of Sicily. At every moment of the day nml night, they'll have to run the gauntlet of our planes, our sub marines and at times our (Brit ish) surface naval forces.

CHURCHILL tells parliament: "We are WOKE than holding our own in the war against the U-boats." That is interesting because Churchill seldom misleads us. I WITH the biggest financing transaction in the history of the world staring us squarely in the eye (all enterprise so huge that if it is to succeed we must ! all of us put all of our loose cash Into it.), this thought is worth your attention: Suppose you buried $1000 in U. j S. currency in a tin can in yniir ; hack yard and on the same day j you bought $1,000 (matured val- j lie) In U. S. war bonds. At the period of maturity, your hurled cash and your bonds will have EXACTLY THE SAME VALUE land exactly the same buying power), with this STARTLING difference: Vnnt- hm-inil f.-iili tt-llt ctvl ' you $1,000, whereas your bonds will have cost you only $7."0. TIMS is the moral: PON'T hold back your cash with the idea that you may need It. Holding hack your cash will hamper the war financing and at the same time will be a l.OSINC, TH ANSACTION for you.

By Charles V. Stanton IliVI MESS, president of the Roseburg chamber of commerce, produced n classic statement at the recent farm labor con ference called by Governor Snell at Salem, where representa tives from all sections of the state met to discuss methods of securing seasonal farm labor. dealing with phases of agriculture, were represented, and after these agency delegates had submitted various theories and con flicting ideas, Mess was called upon to speak and, being some what irritated by the intervention of the federal bureaus, an nounced: "Let Washington supply the confusion; we'll grow the food.' The Roseburg chamber of commerce president is showing a lot of good common sense in his approach to the agricultural situation. Given the cooperation of the farmer and the city resident, he will go a long way in helping to meet labor and marketing problems. The chamber of commerce the army will buy practically all of the agricultural products Douglas county farmers will grow. But so far there is nothing definite to serve as a guide for the furmer. We have a suggestion to make to the army. We do not expect the army will ever see it or if it does will pay any atten tion to it. On the other hand, we fear that it might provide an excuse for another agency, but the army cause to be published in each agricultural commu nity a list of the farm products it can use and the price it will livers to an appointed receiving also specify minimum quantities the grade or quality standards Given this definite information, assured of acceptance of produce meeting specifications and guaranteed a price for his goods, the farmer will have a planting guide. He cannot, however, be expected to bring in a truckload of melons, tomatoes, carrots or other produce and then have to hunt for a buyer. If. as in most army procedure, he has lo hunt up a purchasing officer, then be shifted from place lo place while miles of red tape are unwound, his melons will spoil be fore he can unload them.

"As a part of the Walla met area Boy Scout council the people of Roseburg will be called upon to assume their share of the costs of maintaining scout ing in this area," said Coen. Rose burg is one of the largest dis tricts of the council, which con sists of Douglas, Lane, Benton, Lincoln, Coos and Curry counties. The headquarters ot the council is located in Eugene, but every district is served regularly by the employed scout executive and his assistant. Scouting in the Douglas district has shown a remarkable gain in the past six months, according to local scout officials. The num ber of troops and packs has in creased from six lo ten and two more are now in the process of organization. The funds needed for scouting pay for personal services, train ing and help made available to the volunteer leaders of scouting. In this area council last year 2,529 boys and men belonged to the movement and through the means of the local council, the program of the Boy Scouts of America was made available to them, The campaign planned for Roseburg will in large part be a one-clay intensive drive with over fifty men helping to do the fob. The executive committee of the campaign is now at work to make certain that the general campaign has a head start for next Wednesday. By SUSAN Sorry, folks, it's them (cq) grohms again no Guest Artist Series this week. However, as compensation, you may hear Treasure Hour of Song (G:30) and Chicago Theater of the Air l&:00)- Now let's talk about the new show that's scheduled for Friday night at 8:30. It's more or less of an experiment, but one that we feel sure will be success ful, since it's built on Ihe good old American custom of gather ing round the cracker-barrel to spit and argyee. Topics will be those of Iwlh national and local interest and the discussion panel will be composed of men you know, with Marshall I KRNR 1 Pengra acting as the local Theo core Granik. This week's lorum will consider the emergency labor problem, as it concerns the Doug las county farmer, and what the citizens of Roseburg are planning to do to relieve it.

CHARLES A. EDWARDS The word vision as used In w) tne cripiuics, may ue inter preted to mean the ability to see and appreciate the values which are unseen by the physi cal eyes, where that ability is lacking, the individual and the nation perish. This kind of vision enables us to see our selves In the true light. It Is strange, Indeed, that one lives so close to himself that he cannot see his own faults and sins, which are so obvious to others. The ability to see our selves comes from God. This vision enables one to discern between right and wrong. One of the tragedies of our day is that so many do not have this vision. Their conscience Is dull and moral issues are no longer clear. There is much blind op- timism and dark pessimism abroad in the world. This spiritual vision is essential if we are to see the needs of the world as it ought to be and as I it can become under the lead ership of God's spirit and through consecrated lives. I "Where there is no vision the j people perish. We are the light of the world." Let your light so shine before men that they may see and glorify your Fath er which is in heaven." Amen. Sparks of Oakland, Fred Goff, Bill Harris and Jim Mess. And we'd be glad to know j-our re action to the program also sug gestions as to topics for discus sion are very welcome.
