Stanton IT always is interesting; to watch the reactions of people at a fire. For some reason, a good blaze appears to brine out Olid rilllSMM sot PEI (Ml OH HultNfrlption llatea t'ally, uer year by .mull in. on Dully, S months by mall 2.&1) Dally, 3 inontha by mull J. 26 CREASING big point. power. That's the jNOTHER interesting slant: Nuernberg hits Obviously been added to the Hamburg-Berlin total destruction list. That gives us a choice of targets, so that the Germans can't know where to look for the next shattering blow. yERE'S something we can get our teeth Into: The Russians, since late last fall, have advanced (at Sevsk, which they have just taken) to 11 point MORE THAN HALF WAY FROM STALINGRAD TO THE POLISH BORDER. The fighting in Russia has been given and take, forward and back, first one side than the other on the offensive. This halfway to the Polish border statement proves that the .Russians aro gaining in -the ep cnange 01 wows. " ijv FROM our headquarters in "Africa comes the announce ment that southern Italy's EN TIRE railroad system has been disorganized by relentless allied bombing, with train service brought almost to a standstill. Italy's railroad system consists of two main lines, one on the east and one on the west side of the peninsula. Be cause of the mountainous back bone, there arc relatively few connecting lines. Because of nearness to the sea at all points, Italy has relied heavily on water transport which is now CUT OFF by our command of sea and air. The point is that the Germans in southern Italy can't fight without adequate communications. K ING Boris of Bulgaria Is dead. Speculation as to the cause or his illness ranges all the way from a stomach ache to an alleg ed Interview with Hitler at which lie got so stirred up that a heart attack followed. We outsiders can't be expected to know 'what It all means, but It adds to the picture of confus ion in (he Balkans. The Ger mans don't WANT confusion there. They need to keep every thing under control at this poss ibly vital point. FROM MacAitluir comes this triumphant announcement: "All resistance lias erased las of Thursday night) on New Georgia." The Japs remaining at Rairoka harbor fled in barges across the Kula gulf to Vila on nearby Koloniliangara Island. Ten thous and Japs are supposed to be now on Kolonibangara, with us ham mering them from New Georgia on one side and Vella Lavella on the other and our air and surface naval forces culling them off from supply and rein forcement. It looks like 10,0(10 more Utile yellow men are due to tile for the glory of the empire. good blaze appears to bring out fundamental human traits, releasing inhibitions and con'.erting the usually quiet and sedate individual into a dynamo of action. Aside from those who simply gather for excitement and sue ceed principally in getting in the way of firefighters and equip ment, there always are some who must participate actively with the volunteer fire department. Outstanding in this latter group are the sidewalk fire chief: It seems there are a great many human beings who feel they were born to wield the megaphone. They shout directions, or ders and suggestions. They criticize every move of the fire fighters and loudly explain to bystanders how the blaze should be combatted. Another group promptly seizes axes, pike poles nnd other implements of destruction and, unless forcibly detained, pro ceeds to smash windows, rip off shingles, tear down walls ap parently with the sole purpose of pulling the building apart be fore it can be consumed by flames. Usually the race is about a 50-50 finish. Then the re is the minority group of men who become water soaked and begrimed &s they manipulate the lines of hose. Drip ping with water and covered with soot, they go about the job of extinguishing the blaze, oblivious to the shouted directives. I hese fundamental traits, demonstrated at every fire, are in general evidence today in our national picture. We see and hear the hundreds of federal agencies, bureau- h""mu icauers, eacn witn a megaphone, we have commentators, analysts and editors like the writer always ready with advice or criticism. The sidewalk fire chiefs, as at a fire, comprise the majority, 1 hen we have the hatchet men, and the plugger-s. But what brought all this lo mind was an article in a current popular magazine in which Harold Ickes attempts to explain the coal mining controversy, ickes qualifies for all three classi fications. He is not only an expert wielder of the megaphone, but he is unexcelled as a hatchet man, and at the same time is a worker, as evidenced by the fact that he is coordinator, adminis trator or chief-something-or other of at least ten federal de partments. His attempt to place the blame for the coal mine disputes on congress and ihis attempt to pass the buck to congress for re newal 'of the controversy anticipated at the expiration of the current deadline, is as perfect an example of sidewalk fire chicfing as we have seen. With n megaphone in one hand and an axe in the other, he would make it seem he is the boy to handle the whole situation. But, admitting our own vulnerability, we would still like to recommend that congress take charge Of the water-squirting de partment and use its own method for cooling down the smol dering embers. EGG PRICES EXPLAINED George M. Strong Of Giendale Dies George Monroe Strong, (il, a resident of Giendale, died at his home Saturday following a long Illness. He was born at Myrtle Creek, June 22, 1877, and spent Ills entire life as a resident or Douglas county, making his home near Giendale Tor the last 32 years. Surviving are the widow; a son, Archie Strong. Portland: a daughter, Mrs. Kathryn Roc! fits. Roseburg; a sister, Frances Kel ly, Roschurg, and two brothers. Charles Strong. Myrtle Creek and Leonard strong, Cottager Grove. Funeral services will be held al the Presbyterian church in Glen- dale at 2 p. m. Tuesday, with In terment following in the Myrtle Creek cemetery. Arrangements are in charge of the Ehriie St earns mortuary, Giendale. E 'VERY time that happens, it HELPS US. Choosing death Instead of sur render is lint stuff from the glory standpoint, but nut wholly erfeclive from the MILITARY standpoint. The motto of the Marines at Guadalcanal was: "Let the en emy die for his country; we'll stay alive and FIGHT for ours." ' That's the better way. AT the other end of our Solo , inons plnccr, we're closing in on Salamau airfield and are re porter! In rontaet niih the Japs B-C Gasoline Coupons No Good After Sept. 1 All motorists who have not yet sent In their old B and C mileage books to exchange for the new type 1) and C coupons must do so Immediately, the district OPA warned today. The old-style B and C coupons will not be hon ored after September I in buy ing gasoline. Car owners are urged lo make their applications by mail rather i than go lo the ration boards in i person as Hie Ixiards are now j snowed under wllh application-! already received. In all eases the lire inspection record must ae company the books, it was em phasised, and motorists whose II and C books expire on or before October 1" must fill out a renew al application lorm obtainable at service stations ami at the ration hoards. Motorists who have delayed un til the deadline approached be fore sending In their old coupons may have to wait a few days be at one end of the Held, where we're eliminating Jap pillboxes. Speaking of pincers, a New Delhi (India I dispatch refers to a big one we may have in the making with Mounlbatten driv ing into Burma as one jaw and MacArlhur thrusting toward Truk as the other. That would be a variation of the old front and back door strategy, compell ing the enemy tu divide his forces. Your map will tell you of lis possibilities.. fore receiving (heir new coupons. OPA officials explained, as the boards will have to process first those already received. Editor News-Review: I would appreciate using this means to contact the hatching egg flock owiieis. It seems that the meaning of. the article ap pearing In the News-Review or. Aug. 13 is being misunderstood by some so I will endeavor to clarify it. The prices In the news article were quoted from spring prices, not the present prices on eggs. That article was published to in form flock owners of what the committees of International Ba by Chick association knew and feared and that is what the OPA olllce had planned and still plans to place a celling on hatching eggs and chicks if we, as an in dustry, and I quote: "Cant keep our own house in order." OPA office had received many requests for a ceiling on hatching eggs from the cast coast and some from California. The cast coast In some localities paid pre miums as high as fifty cents this spring. Their usual premium like ours was generally ten and to twelve cents above extras. The midwest hatches the most chicks and their premiums vary mostly from five lo eight cents. Oregon premiums ran between ten and twenty-five cents this spring. The midwest's output is the most impressive, therefore OPA will be inclined to be guided by tne conditions ol the maioi'lty they were for fryer ceilings. The present ceiling on fryers does not permit a high priced chick. The western flock owners def initely cannot work on the mid west price scale but the midwest can and make money. That is one reason why we should not give reason lo antagonize the OPA office. At the conference in Chicago It was explained to the officials of the OPA office attend ing, that a ceiling would be dis astrous as conditions over the country vary too much. Our bus iness in the west is considered small (and comparatively it is). But to us It is important and wc must preserve It, and not give reason for complaints on hatch ing egg prices to reach OPA. The hatcheries cannot exist without hatching e-g flock own ers making profits and vice ver sa. We have cooperated in the past so let us do so In the future. I for one shall continue lo work for the flock owners' interests in every way, as consistantly as I have in the past. MRS. H. A. WATZIG. Mrs. W. S. Chenoweth Passes In Spokane Death of Mrs. W. S.

DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS How shall we find God? We are created to Jive and move and have our being in Him. nils very religious nature which we have was Intended to lead us Into .personal , fellow ship with our Creator. To find this wonderful companionship we must first cast out every barrier which hinders our seek ing and finding God. Truly we una uoa revealed In a di vine person. Jesus Christ is the friend of man. He is pilrrored in His son. Ritschl said: "God Is one who has an appearance like that of Christ." If we watch Jesus with lovo and de votion, we will experience a revelation of God. Dr. Wil liam Spurgeon of Wales was once lecturing in a city in Scot land. After the lecture an old gentleman of polished manner approached him and said: "Dr. Spurgeon I am pleased to meet you. I am the father of Henry Drummond.55 "Oh, then," said Dr. Spurgeon, "I already know you, for I know your son so well." The houses and streets of Athens were cluttered with jdols of gold and silver and stone. There is danger of our lives being cluttered with nu merous gods the good or bad things to which we give deep devotion. Material things some times are supreme over God in our devotions.

Scoring Of One 4 H Project Done New One Slated The scoring of 4-H livestock and poultry projects is just about complete, according to County Club Agent E. A. Britton. A few were missed because they were sick or unavoidably away from home. These will be' scored this week. ' In addition to the special foods I production contest sponsored by j the Roseburg Lions club in the (valley section of Douglas county, the Reedsport Lions club has a ;like program for the coast sec tion. Those projects will be scor ed Thursday and Friday of this week. A new project for girls twelve years of age and older has been announced. The name is the Child Care Project. The requirements as listed are as follows: 1. Attend at least 8 club meet ings for instructions on tile care of young children. 2. Take care of small children for at least 25 hours for experi ence. 3. Keep records of work done while learning and later on work done for pay for from 2 to 6 months. 4. Make two simple toys (in structions available). 5. At the end of the 8 meetings and 25 hours practice, have a group examination by the county nurse on the skills acquired. Project requirements to in clude such necessary skills as the correct way to hold a baby, feed, dress, change, and amuse, get ready for nap, bed and outing, and to meet many other situa tions. This project was developed for the reason that many mothers must be away from home at limes and need someone to take care of their young children those who have a love of children and know how to care for 'them. This project has been developed because there are many girls who would like to learn how to meet this need. It is suggested that clubs in this project be ealicd "mothers aid club". In order to have a club, It is necessary to have five or more girls with an adult leader who will meet with them and teach them what is rd quired. Printed material for use of the girls is available from the county club agent's office. w ADDISON Robt. B. Motherwell, Bank President, Dies SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30 (AP) Robert Burns Mot hoi well II, 58, president of the Wells Far go bank and Union Trust com pany, died yesterday after an ill ness of two months.

Advertising Roundup By DELBERT ADDISON THERE are certain words we use that have a good ring to them, no matter how they've been kicked around for generations. Others, the opposite. lake the words volunteer and regula tion." , Quite a difference, isn't there? these words bring up different meanings to different people, but the feeling they givo is the same to all. The fellow who voluntarily gives up boating his wife is a hero. But the fellow who gets regulated thrown into jail for wife beating he's a pitiful object and a so-and-so to boot. The volunteer is the hero, right enough, and the government was smart enough to choose the volunteer Minutemen as the symbol for tak ing our money away from us in the form of War Bonds. Your Conscience Only Getting down to cases the biggest volunteer program tho country has ever attempted will get under -way soon. It is the Third War Loan. As one advertiser stated in his bond ad the other day, 'Buying war bonds, like getting up in tho morning or seeing your barber or your dentist is between a man and his own conscience." As far as any regulations to MAKE you buy bonds is concern ed, its' as free as the sunshine in June. (Unlike taxes. I And the people who actually put over the bond drives work at it entirely voluntarily, and work twice as hard because that's the way it is. lhe advertising (now we're getting down to brass tacks) that carries the bond message to everyone, also is voluntary. Advertising Ready The treasury, of course, puts the pressure on newspapers to get the advertising sold, ana furnishes advertising material. But it's public spirited citizens, the same ones that carry the drive in each community, who actually are responsible for the ads being run. The best advertising material available to Oregon papers, on the Third War Loan, is voluntarily sent out by the big Portland advetisers, and is bought by papers from their regular advertis ing services. Portland concerns already have made available 41 complete ads on the Third War Loan. Meyer-Both, from whom paper's get most of their ad material, has produced nine pages on the drive. The material is ready, the goal is set. Now it's up to those of us right down home on the firing line. With aN papers working short-handed in their advertising staffs, don't feel hurt if you're not called on. There's no law against volunteering. Golden West Back. To drag in the word, voluntary, once more, note how it crops up in the return of coffee advertising to newspapers. The winsome Golden West Girl advises in her ad, "Let every other pound of Golden West Coffee you buy, be the emergency package." .... Golden West explains that tin has "gone to war," that there are severe restrictions on the use of glass, that part of the Gol den West coffee will go into a glassine-lined bag. By asking in a nice way that you voluntarily take every other pound in the emergency package, they'll probably get the job done. They could, of course, put some kind of a regulation into effect, and still qet the job done, but we couldn't helrj beina about half mad at having it shoved down our necks.
