But the Jap soldier who accepted a 'cigarette (or borrowed one) was apt 'to make a point of returning It when he came Into possession of a package. Sometimes the guard would ask for a Hunt (often given from the end of a lighted cigarette, as matches were scarce). At such times, he was likely to bow, or offer some other evldenoe of thanks. AT the beglning, orle 'of 1he gnawing ears "was for the safety of the women. No woman prisoner 'was molested In the 21 months. THERE were odd Incidents. One day a dog dathod through a gate Into the prison en closure. Dogs were eyed with misgiving, for rabies was preva lent. A Jap guard gave chase, and the hurried doc slinued Under the wire fence und escaped to the outside. The Jap soldier handed his rifle TO A PRISONER and went under the fence it f tot- the dog. THE prisoner accepted the rifle mechanically and held It In his hand while he watched the dog chase, which was a welcome break In the monotony of the camp. Another prisoner . happened past. "What are you going to do," lie suggested, "If u Jap guard comes rlong and finds you with a loaded rifle in your possession?" The rifle was dropped like a hot potato, and both made tracks way from there. ONE evening, a prisoner found two loaded rifles near the confining barbed wire fence. Near by were their owners, drunk and passed out. The prisoner picked the rifles up gingerly by the muzzles and carried them to the officer of the guard. THESE incidents don't picture the Jap soldier tat least the military vo-Hoel-as n superman. Ho Isn't, uccordlng to Cronln. He ccjmes largely from the peasant fai'mer class In Japan.

Stanton ftOUGLAS county's achievement in being" first to reach its " goal for sale of wur bonds to corporations is a source of much pleasure to the committee, particularly because of the failure to reach the goal in that War Loan drive. The county's was attained, but it was the sale of individual bonds which made up the deficit in the corporation department. This time, d'te to advance preparation, the corporation purchases already are far above the assigned amount. It would be far easier, H. War Savings staff reports, if the practice of those who authorize purchases by their local representatives. Many concerns buy their 'bonds from the Federal Reserve bank, making allocations to the several counties in -which they operate. This latter system fre quently results in numerous headaches for the committee in .securing the assignment of credit to be applied toward their quotas, Pargeter states. The treasury department also favors Jie feu. ring -of bonds through the local banks, as such trans actions drain off the surpluses from over a -wider area in stead of from the reserve bank. Corporations buying their bonds in the counties in which they operate aid the committee to keep a more accurate check of the relation of sales to quotas, Pargeter reports. When bonds are bought from the reserve bank and alloca tions made to counties, it is sometimes difficult for the com mittee to secure the information needed to maintain progress reports. In effect, the procedure of buying bonds locally serves to knit the corporation closer to the community in which it is operating. This not only is true with regard to war bonds, but applies equalfy to other community activities. Few of the corporations, for instance, are paying into the chamber of commerce a sum equal to the memberships carried by purely local firms doing a comparative volume of business. Corporations having headquarters elsewhere usually contribute -to the various drives such as Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Salvation Army, War Chest, etc., but in nearly every instance it is necessary for the local representative to contact headquarters, frequently engaging in consider able correspondence, resulting in long waits, delaying drives from final completion for several weeks. Nearly all of the large corporations help support the vari ous civic and charitable activities of the communities in which they operate. Yet in many cases their participation in community affairs do not reach a parity with those of purely local firms and individuals. Chamber of commerce memberships is a case in point. Corporations engaged in merchandising are, for the most part, in the top brackets. But transportation, oil companies and others generally are maintaining the minimum mem bership. ' With corporations playing an increasingly important role in community business life, it is becoming more and more essential fhat n closer relationship and , understanding be tween communities and corporations be developed. British authorities have decided that the job of the late Chummy Barton, handed down from man to man for about 140 years, requiring that lie watch the Dover straits for signs of Napoleon's crossing, is now dispensable. If it had been in this country, the WPA would have given him a helper. DIALfpLOG By SUSAN It's 7:.'I0 ionlghl for San Quen tin On the Air and, if you too, have been wondering what he came of Milton While, the color ed gentleman with the grand voice he was always on the shows last year--we Just heard today that ho had "graduated" and was now spending his spare time, when not working In the shipyard, In entertaining around the various USD's. Seems that this Is one show for which the IK'i'formers never voluntarily sign up for another season. We were sorry to see them clixip their old theme song - seemed so right, somehow, for that pro gram. There's a new 1:30 show on Wednesday afternoons - another whodunit this one being "True Detective Stories".

Should lie good, but then that's lops with us when It comes to the service men's shows anyway. There are some new shows or rather the reappearance of old fa vorites scheduled for Thursday evening- -hut we'll lell you more about that tomorrow. In the meantime don't forget it's Anna loi'is with Music You Remember tonight at 6:30. Birthday Party Held for Rotary Club Members Itev. W. It.

Payments will be made for clearing, mowing, seeding, lim ing and drainage to improve pas ture lands. These payments are in line with an effort to increase dairy production, reduce produc tion costs, increase protein supply and produce a better long time, agriculture. County AAA offices are furnishing operators with de tails concerning these practices and place producers in line to re ceive payment for practices per formed. CROP INSURANCE RESERVES During the five years of the federal wheat crop insurance program, now discontinued by Federal legislation, Oregon wheat growers have built up a reserve of 331,566 bushels of wheat. This reserve represents the balance re maining in premiums paid in over the amount paid out to farmers for losses. Total premiums col lected were 844,139 bushels, cov ering a guaranteed production of 15,918,813 bushels of 1,080,948 acres. Indemnities for losses amounted to 512,573 bushels. Un der the present status of the pro tram, the reserve will be absorb ed by the Federal Crop Insurance corporation for payment ol losses in other states. WEED CONTROL' Weed control in Oregon should hit a new high in 1944 as a re sult of the unlimited allowance under the AAAconservation prac tice program. Payment to farm ers for control by clean cultiva tion or chemicals of certain per ennial noxious weeds is not lim ited. Farmers wishing to quali fy for such assistance must se cure prior approval from their county AAA office. Field inspec tions wUl be made to assure strict compliance with approved con trol measures. KEEP TRACTORS ROLLING Action is being taken to pre vent a possible gasoline shortage from hampering farming opera tions Steps taken to keep farm tractors rolling include: 1. Farmers are entitled to pref erence for gasoline and other fuels for tractors and other off highway uses. This means that dealers, distributors and suppliers cf petroleum products must take care of farmers' needs before de livering gasoline for any other non-military use. . In event of a general short age or of insufficient quotas, pro cedure has been set up Ho obtain' additional allocations of gasoline and tractor fuels for farm use. In addition, the county farm transportation committee stress es, farmers themselves can help forestall shortages by conserving gasoline as much as possible now.
