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

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.

OPA officials explained, as the

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.

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. Amen.

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.

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.
