would ask for them. 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.

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.

CORPORATION
By Charles V. 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.

Maureen O'Sullivan and Charles
Laughton -will pair off Wednes
day at fi:30, to entertain listeners

There are some new shows or
rather the reappearance of old fa

about that tomorrow. In the

BETTER PASTURES
Better pastures are the objec
tives of many soil building prao
tlces under the 1944 AAA pro
gram. 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.
