All have been reported for months to be seething with ha tred for the nazls, fear of what will happen to them now that It Is becoming certain that they hot on the wrong horse and obvious ly eager to find some wuy to switch their bet and get their money on the RIGHT horse (which is our Side).

(Remember cynically that Tur key will HAVE to do something pretty nice for our side if she Is IU JlilVC iUly aif ill HIV jJiavu table.) IT Is as certain as anything can be that our diplomats have been working overtime with Ru mania, Bulgaria and Hungary to bring them Into our camp, as Italy was brought In. Recall that only a few days ago Russia WARNED Bulgaria to GET OUT OF THE WAR on Germany's side. THIS Is rtie point aimed at: IK -the Russians reach the Rumanian border (first cutting the Odessa railroad) and IF Ru mania and Hungary and Bul garia can be brought over to our side by a diplomatic stroke and IF Turkey should open to us the land Into the Balkans, THEN would be the time for us to move In on Germany from all sides for the kill. Such' n situation would be so obviously GOOD that our lenders must be trying to bring It about. IN a New Year's message, Hitler says to the German people: "In this war there will he no victor, and losers, hut merely sun-Ivors and ANNIHILATED." It sounds gloomy. Hitler doubt less IS gloomy. Hut don't miss the point. What Hitler is trying to do is to convince the Germans they're doomed if they surrender and that nil that Is left for them is lo fight to their last drop ot blood. LJAYBE. they'll do that. But PI this writer thinks that when- j ever -the Germans become eon-1 vinccd beyond all douht that ALL : HOPE IS GONE they'll surrond j W- Hitler or no Hitler. Our Job is to bring them to I that point. j THIS Is the nub of the Pacific hews: We've laken the Cape Gluu coster airfield. It took us Just four and a half days to do It.

' By Charles Uf E have entered upon a new " months we have seen important changes take place in Douglas county. . The ensuing year, we believe, will see even greater alterations. The promise. of an industrial been foreseen by many observers for a long period of time, l'jiese forecaMew- yere often held up to ridicule and scorn by pessimistic' residents who could see no future in the vast resources o jthliber,; which now provide one of the nation's greatest nptie.71.tjal supplies. But during' 1943 we have seen the beginniii4;Oji' the industrial mdve into Southern Oregon and particularly into Couglas county. The timber industry is the first to come, because there is a serious depletion, through excessive cutting, in areas which have heretofore served as centers of lumber production. Lumber is a vital necessity of war. In fact, it is being recognized as perhaps the most important of the strategic materials. Furthermore, it will be as vitally needed in the period of reconstruction and, therefore, shows promise of providing a continuing ac tive industry while other lines of production will be slowed down by cancellation of war contracts and reconversion to peace-time operations. Thus industry in Douglas county should keep booming after the war, although other localities may face temporary un employment and readjustment The year 1944 should see timber industry. New mills undoubtedly will be built. The number will be limited only by the ability to secure building and machinery priorities. Two and possibly three plywood plants will move into Douglas county. They may come in 1944 if they can secure the required authority. The coming year undoubtedly will see greater emphasis on new housing. The industrial population .will be materi ally increased. With living facilities already at a premium, places must be provided to workers. We have seen a change in During the year several new industry in particular, have been instituted. We have seen new concerns dealing especially in logging supplies and heavy machinery. New and progressive old firms are expanding, are installing welding and repair equipment' to meet the need for keeping heavy industrial equipment in operation. Machine shops are increasing in size and number. We have seen several changes in business ownership. Men with private capital to invest are confident of Douglas coun ty's future and are setting themselves up in business here because they can see a period of prosperity to follow the war! New retail outlets for all types of consumer goods are being opened. This trend, we believe, will increase during 1944, as there are indications of a relaxation in restrictions on, manufacture of consumer goods. When merchandise for retail trade becomes available, we can anticipate increasing competition in the merchandise We must not forgot, as we view the rapid industrialization of the county, that the agricultural industry, which has been the lifeblood of Douglas county for so many years, still is our greatest asset. The year 19-III saw n change in owner ship on a very considerable percentage of our farm acreage. Many of these new owners arc investors seeking safe places for their money during a possible period of inflation. Some, doubtless, have no expectation operators. On the other hand, chased by families experienced in agriculture who bring new methods and new enthusiasm and may develop into leaders in efforts to expand production and profits. The year of 1913 was a year of change. We believe the forthcoming year will see even more marked growth in indus trial, business and agricultural activities. It should be a year which will firmly entrench Dongas county in the Pacific coast industrial field. It will be a year of struggle for those engaged in competitive operations, with financial benefits for those who maintain progressive and modern methods r.nd possible disaster for those who are unable to keep pace with the new rate of progress. Altogether, it looks like an exciting year. So, all hail to 1911!

COULD WORK IM HARDWARE STORE mm Women Sought to Train for Dairy Work in Oregon An opportunity for physically fit women between the ages of 18 and 43 to train for important wartime Jobs on Oregon dairy farms Is announced by the emer gency farm labor service of the O. S. C. Extension service. A recent survey of representa tive dairy farmers in Tillamook and Coos counties showed that n considerable percentage of them welcome the opportunity to hire trained women help on their dairy farms. Of 18 contacted In Tillamook county, 13 said they would hire women, and of 17 in Coos county 10 would make use of modern milkmaids. The plan is to put on a train ing school at Oregon State col lege sometime in January where trainees would spend from one to three weeks, according to the amount of previous experience. All those who completed the course satisfactorily would be i t commended for positions and would be eligible for member ship in the Women's Land nrmy. A distinctive uniform is now available for the WLA. While no guarantee can he made as to wages, dairymen con tacted said they would expect to pay from $75 to S100 a month plus room and board for wom en dairy workers, witli opportun ity for higher pay as they become more experienced. "Women who are planning to apply for a war Job might well consider this opportunity." says Mrs. Mabel Mack, stale farm la bor assisiant, In chHige of the WLA. "Women are needed on dairy farms to meet peak needs beginning In February and March." Whife dairy products are among the most needed war ma terials, the prospective Hill pro duel ion is estimated at (i per cent under 1 0-13, with labor shortage one of the chief factors in the do (lease. Dairy women would be exported to handle milking ma chines.

Including some housework. Those interested may file ap plications with any county agent or may enroll directly with Mrs. Mack at Corvallis. By SUSAN Wi-U. hrre hi- arr off to a flying start in Bill.

November election votes of men- find women in uniform bounded ahead here as the first political issue for 1944. Chairman Worley (D.-Tcx.) announced he would call the house elections committee when congress recon venes On Jan. 10 to pick up leg islative hot potato which the sen ate has voted to toss on to the states. Worley, who seeks a compro mise, described as- a "smoke screen" the constitutional ques tion raised about the power of congress to legislative ways of facilitating votes by service men and women. The issue pins about the ques tion whether the federal govern ment should take a hand, or leave the problem entirely to the states as voted by the senate. ' 'Another' southerner, Rep. Ram speck (D.-Ga.) the house demo cratic whip, came out today for federal legislation, saying that ii. his opinion "it's Just wishful thinking to assume the states can provide the machinery for getting the state ballots to the soldiers and back." The Georgian suggested that draft board records of men in ducted might become the equiva lent of registration lists, with the government getting ballots to the service men and women and back to the states which, he empha sized, should retain the authority cf determining the validity of each ballot. A house republican from up state New York, Rep. Kearney, a retired brigadier general, World War veteran and former nation al commander of Veterans of For eign Wars, Joined those demand ing action, declaring "I don't want to sec this ' subject kicked Around1 congress any longer. It's a-damned outrage the way It has been treated so far." t Frank C. Walker, democratic national chairman, released a statement saying he had "no doubt that a compromise meas ure can and will be enacted." ' Rop.

CHARLES A; EDWARDS As one looks over his life, the chief impression Is that of movement and ohange. We seem to be always on a journey toward some Jerusalem. A stream of persons, events, and experiences flows through con sciousness, memory is an ever unfolding panorama of swiftly passing days and years. We are always on the march, whither are we bound? The writer of the book of Hebrews says: "They that say such things de clare plainly that they seek: a country and truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had oppor tunity to have returned. At this point the writer was mis taken. That does not apply to real life. There is no turning back in our pilgrimage; we can only go forward. "But now," continues the writer, "they de sire a better country, that is an heavenly." Some of us have reached the point where tired eyes look eagerly forward to the city which hath founda tions, where ceaseless change and movement will end in sta bility and peace. "When on, my days of life the night is falling, And, In the wind from un- summoned spaces blown I hear far voices out of dark ness calling My feet to paths unknown. There from the music round about me stealing, I fain would learn the new and holy song; And find at last, beneath thy tree of healing, The life for which I long." Amen.
