THERE'S little shooting news Irom Russia yet. , The Germans and the Russians have been piling up reinforce ments and supplies along the whole vast front for weeks. Soon er or later, the shooting must begin. THE Turks send an ambassador to Greece, "Observers" inter pret It as a sign they think there'll bo a Greece after the war. Maybe the Turks intend to sc to it that there is. ' Draw your own conclusions., they're as good as anybody's. T looks as If Glraud and de Gaulle may get together. De Gaulle is to meet Giraud In Al giers this week to talk U (pver. hc, enthusiastic way pit' "Which the rearmed Afrleun, French, have been fighting strengthens the hope ol union of the French factions. SEMI-OFFICIAL Chinese "sources" say the Japs arc preparing what appears to be a large-scale offensive along the Yangtze river, aimed perhaps at Chungking Itself. ' The Jap Job is to knock China out before we can get there to help. THERE'S a big 41-hours-loiig state dinner in the Kremlin in Moscow. Our Joseph Davles, who car ried a letter from FDR to Stalin, sits on Stalin's right, and pro poses as a toast that Stalingrad be left as it Is as a memorial and a lesson, and a NEW city built four or five miles up or down the Volga. Ho speaks for 20 minutes along this line. . The dispatches do not mention whether the Russians sparked to his suggestion. Uf Ambassador to Moscow 5 Slandley says in a toast that friendship and co-operation tire a two-way affair (meaning, presumably, that both sides must give and lake), which sounds like good sense. What the Russians said In reply to Standley's toast (if any thing) Isn't reported in the dis patches, but llrltish Ambassador Sir Archibald John Clark Ken comes back with a toast OKIng the idea. By Charles V. Stanton PERSONAL mail to the editorial desk has been very light this week. There has been no dropping off in the volume of bureaucratic propaganda, "news" releases from OPA, OWI, etc., public relations mail from service camps and the usual miscellaneous communications which provide ample fodder for the commodious waste basket. We do have, however, a couple of letters we had been hop-l ing to puniisn in lull. Lack ot space has prevented printing the full communications, so we must mention them briefly. It seems that a resident of Los Angeles has had a matter on his mind for nine years. He has been afraid to recount his ex perience and now is seeking confirmation so that he can tell the story without being made a candidate for the Liars' club. He recounts that nine years ago he and his wife, driving in a car "loaded down with two dogs, a parrot and 25 canaries," were en route to Roseburg. While driving through a rain storm at night in Cow Creek canyon he saw an object lying on the highway and discovered to his amazement a full-grown, black-maned lion blocking the road while licking a badly mangled paw. The writer said he saw some railroad box cars on the adja cent railroad tracks and reached the decision there had been a wreck and that the lion, probably a performer in a circus, had escaped. A short, tjme before his experience with the lion, his car had struck a deer. He would like to tell about his experiences with "wildlife' in Oregon, but is afraid no one will believe him. So if anyone knows of a lion hunt in southern Oregon about nine years ago, we would be glad to have the information so that we may pass it on to the friend in Los Angeles. We also have a letter from a lady who is "burned up" by the appearance of the Oakland I. O. O. F. cemetery. I "In several places," she writes, "you cannot see a man stand-' ing 1 5 feet away. Poison oak bushes, oak grubs and Scotch broom bushes mark as many graves as do headstones." I She also is irked by the fact that flowers planted on her own ! lots arc picked as soon as they bloom. I "Why don't we do something about it?" she asks. "Maybe: nil of us together can bring about a cemetery to be proud of, in-' stead of the brushy sheep pasture it is now. Let's try." j We do not know whether the complaint is justified or not, i as we have made no inspection of the property to which she refers. ' It is a regrettable fact, however, that altogether too few ceme-1 teries are properly maintained. There also are too many van dals who think nothing of the destruction of plantings, and j monuments provided in memory of loved ones. The condition docs not apply to one locality alone but, in- j stead, is entirely too general. A woman, who spent a considerable sum of money recently to plant expensive flowering shrubs on n lot in one ot the isose-1 burg cemeteries, reported that some contemptible person had carefully dug up and removed the shrubbery apparently to i beautify his own home. j We know there is an old adage about flowers belonging to the living, but we can't ut the moment think of anything much more despicable than grave-robbing. I Medal Awarded Adm. Tisdale for YaSor in Battle Rear Admiral Mahlon S. Tis dale, U. S. N., a son ol the late Mark Tisdale and Mrs. Lucy S. Tisdale, now of Fargo, N. Dak., has been awarded the Distingu ished Service medal for his leadership of a task force in ac tion off the Solomon islands in the engagement fought August 2i, 1942, when the task force he commanded engaged enemy forc es and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese air groups. Admiral Tisdale is well known in Roseburg and Sutherlin having visited frequently at Sutherlin, where his parents resided for many years prior to the recent death of the senior Mr. Tisdale. Admiral Tisdale's citation reads: "For exceptionally meritorious service to the government ol the United States in a duty of great responsibility as task group com mander of a task force during action against enemy Japanese forces eastsvard of the Solomon islands on August 21, 1942. By his astute leadership and gallant de votion to duty, Rear Admiral Tis dale, with superb coordination of the units under his command, in flicted heavy losses on attacking Japanese air groups, thereby con tributing in large measure to the ultimate success of our forces in this engagement. His relentless fighting spirit and brilliant tacti cal skill were in keeping with the highest traditions of the tinn ed Stales naval service."

Prison walls vanish, for He Is the floor. John Hiinyan wrote "stone walls do not a prison make, nor iron bars a cage." Prisons and fortresses from which we walk forth to vic tory.

Patronize them I GEE, MOD RE COMPANY Changes In the farm machinery rationing program, designed to speed up the placing ol equip ment on farms where it's needed. were announced yesterday by Leo sparKg, chairman of tho county uaus war ooara. County quotas have been elim-! inated tor all seven items ol farm machinery. The action was taken lo make certain that no equip menl will remain Idle In dealer's stock until alter its seasonal use Is over. Farmers holdlruz Durchase cer tificates for any item of farm machinery except tractors, com bines, pickup bailers, potato dig gers and sorters, hay loaders and side delivery rakes may purchase from any dealer in the state who has the item in stock. Removal of county quo' at and county "tags" will give farmers an opportunity to locate tractor drawn and tractor mounted equip- i mem, sucn as narrows, plows, mowers, discs and cultivators, of make and type- best suited to the tractor with which It will be used, the chairman explained. This was not always possible with quotas in effect, as both the make and number of machines allocat ed to the county were specified. The change in the rationing program will not increase the amount of new farm machinery available in Oregon, nor will it eliminate purchase certificates. Applicants for any of the "no quota" items will be required to locate the needed machinery in a dealer's stock. Before any additional certifi cates are issued beyond the amount of the county's original quota, farmers already holding certificates will be given time to locate and buy their machinery, Mr. Sparks said. The farm rationing commit tee's policy is to get available machinery into use as speedily as possible, the chairman declared. If the holder of a purchase cer tificate does not like the make of that particular machinery that a local dealer has in stock, the committee will give the machine to some other farmer who has Immediate use for it.
