' We'll just have to WAIT. A . battle such as this is too big to be reported accurately within a few hours. ' Meanwhile, watch the prisoner totals as and when they are re ported. II they begin to go up sharply, lt will be a dependable sign that the Germans are taking a bad licking and KNOW IT. (There are no new totals as this Is written.) ' THE Germans, who were right about our Anzlo reserves, speak of big concentrations of allied' troops on the Island of Corsica. Watch those reports. From Cor sica, we could strike either at far- northern Italy or at southern France. ' FROM London we hear that ul lied fighters and fighter-bombers ranged over miles of enemy territory behind the Atlantic wall to "strafe targets of opportunity." (Meaning, apparently, to shoot at ANYTHING THAT MOVED.) Returning pilots tell of trains STOPPING as soon as our planes appeared in the sky. ONDON now issues a dally "In- lavaslon" weather report. The ' most recent tells of a light wind over the Dover strait that failed to rurfle the CALM SEA. The barometer, which rose that day, remained steady through the night. It -sounds like PERFECT Inva sion weather. If that is true, lt means we're NOT READY YET to strike. That is, the moment hasn't arrived to strike with FULLEST ADVANTAGE. LET'S do a little guessing here as to "D" day. It Is probably a THEORETICAL day, rather than an actual day. , It Is likely to mean the day on which wo can strike most EFFECTIVELY. ' How could a quarterback, at Ihe HEGINNING of the football season, decide the exact moment at which he would uncork the big play that would lay the other team low? He couldn't obviously. He'd have to wall until the oilier team was disposed in what looked .to him like Just the right way to make the big play a success. Remember thai war and foot ball hit slartlingly alike, THE battle of Italy lakes the sHtllght as this Is written. In Burma, the Myltkylna fight ing goes on In heavy monsoon rain. Stllwell's communique says: "The slow work of elimi nating savagely resisting pockets of Japs, who evidently arc pre pared to die in their dugouts and behind log entrenchments, con tinues." . Our fighter-escorted bombers are now operating from the air field we've Just taken from the By Charles V. Stantos CEVERAL hundred of Douglas county's sons are in over seas battlo stations. For every man. who has been in an overseas pout for a period of four months, there has been out and delivered to the army or navy enough lumber to bijila" htm a modern six-room house. The lumber required for the boys of Company D, who have been in the south ,I?acif ifi. for, nearly two years, would give each of them two nice bungalows, , I 49cordilts! W figures compiled by the National Lumber Manufacturers association, it takes about eight thousand board feet, of lumber for every man dispatched to an off-'shoi-e operation and one thousand board feet is needed each month to keep him there. 1 ! irhis, the association states, is a routine requirement and does not provide for special rehabilitation materials. It took, for instance, more than 2,000 carloads of American lumber to replace bombed military installations in Naples harbor. Twelve thousand board feet of lumber is reuuired in building an average six-room residence. These figures help us to understand why an officer df the lumber division of the War Production board says that lumber is "our number one critical material." When we think of critical war materials most of us think of steel, aluminum, copper and other metals. Such is the power of advertising. Since the war started, every news paper and magazine has carried liberal advertising telling us of the roles steel, aluminum and other metals and pro ducts are playing in the war. But here in Douglas county, where for years we nermit- ted the incendiarist to wantonly burn our forests to urovido good deer hunting, we are only lately coming to realize we! nave the most vital and critical of all materials needed in the ' war el fort. Our lumber goes into cantonments, ships, dunnage, box ing, crating and hundreds of other uses. It flies over hostile lands, carrying bombs to hasten the day of victory. It sails the Seven seas, bearing troops, munitions and supplies. Lumuer also will be tho number one critical material of peace. It will be needed to rehabilitate a bomb-torn world. It will be needed by industry in a giant program of reconver sion. It will be needed to build Dip. mill irma nf tinmao tl-iof will be erected throughout the nation, as we strive to make ui for four years of restricted construction. Focusing attention on the importance of wood in our war effort has resulted in many industrial benefits. Necessity has accelerated the industry's program for greater utiliza tion of the tree. Many new kinds of nroduets will Iia mnnV from wood waste in the postwar era. Only a few years ago we were cutting- two thousand feet of timber for every one thousand feet of new growth. Now, wniie our torests are growing 11 billion cubic feet, we nre pMng 13 billion cubic feet, a ratio of 1.2 to 1.0. It is only recently mat industry lias begun to realize the eventual ef fect of continuing the process of cutting at a greater rate than , annual growth. The problem, however, is now being approached in a most practical way and on a basis of free enterprise. Tho regimented system would be to restrict cut ting to equal the rate of growth, but free enterprise, im pelled by a motive of profit-taking, is working on a theory of maintaining, and even increasing, the rate of cutting. Through conservation, elimination of waste, reforestation and tree farming, it is purposed to increase the annual sup ply. Remarknble results already have been achieved in that direction. So, though we have cut enough lumber to build one or two houses for each of our boys overseas, Ave will still be able, when ho returns, to furnish him with the materials ho will need to build that little home he has visualized while dream ing of the day when he could leave the foxhole or the jungle to return to the "one and only girl" and tho homo they have planned. Japs on Wadke. All New Gui nea is within their range, as well as the southern Philippines, only 1100 miles away. We're going aHer MORE Jap airfields along tho New Guinea coast. Mean while the Japs on the ground are fighting bitterly dying In their tracks, as is their wont. It Is announced that our toll of dead at Wadke was 41 to the Japs' 833. Our boys down there are selling l heir lives at a high price, IT. HIS Is a good time to re member (hat our boys on all the fighting fronts are GIVING THEIR LIVES. What we of the easy. In many ways softer and pleasanter than ever before, home front are giving to match their sacrifices is sometimes hard to figure out.) LETTERS to the Editor COMMUNISM SEEN AS MEN ACE TO AMERICANI8M Editor News-Review; In a cur rent Issue of your paer I notice tills headline, "Communist Party CJuits: F. R. Racked." What does il mean? For yeara they have nominated a presidential candi date and now are combining on F. R. What is communism? It is six fold and each one abolition. 1. Abolition of private properly. 2. Abolition of the family. 3. Abolition of patriotism. 1. Abolition of inheritance. 4 .Abolition of inheritance. 5. Abolition of religion. 6. Abolition of all ordered government. fo we want to turn over all private pioiierty to state owner ship? Do we want to give our bntrh's to the state to train and educate? Do our mothers want to be treated as cattle are treat ed? Tho farmer takes the calf away from the mother when a few weeks old and she grieves and moans for a few days and forgets. Have we degraded to that? In our country we have been seeing the luck ot patriotism in school children who refuse to salute the stars and stripes. They would not of their own accord refuse. They have been so taught. When communism, which is state capitalism, is established, there will be no property to In herit. In their books they propose to eliminate from the people the n nation forgotten that this U. S. A. government was founded in prayer and whether our people acknowledge lt or not they KNOW we owe our liberties to Ihe "Cross of Christ" and what He has meant to our nation. IV) we want a chaotic govern ment? That Is what the aboli tion of ordered government means. This Is a time to think and realize what Is before us. Let us pray that America, the U. S. A., shall bo saved. MRS. EMMA P. WOODS. OUT OUR pllTHE MEW GUY AT THAT V NO-WHAT HE'S WORPY- " . . H MACH I WE DIDM'T SHOW IMC3 ABOUT IS MOT KUOW- . .J SUf UP THIS MORMIwe-I IU& WHAT KEPT THE.

There's a poster on the wall ot Sain Abcrnathy's store that doesn't say much. It just shows a cross, with a Yankee helmet on it -and the caption: "Light words are 'grave' words." It Isn't hard to flgnre ont what that sign means. kos talk has dng n lot of graves . , . and dons n lot of harm her at home, too. Anil still you hear it. You hear, for instance, talk about our soldiers drinking and rarousing around Army Camps. Of course, when you get the jacts there's not an atom of truth in It. A U. S. Government survey found our soldiers were the soberest, the best behaved in history-with. most of them drinking; nothing stronger than a moderate glass ot beer. Prom where t sit, that kind of "loose talk" ran do Just ns much to undermine moralo ns any rumor that tho Axis could in vent. And it's up to every one ot ns to spike that kind of sabotage before it spreads. .Vo, S3 ef a Strict Cpri(htt 1944 Brewing hjiutry Foundation Statu Press Comment HOME VOTE BOOSTS CORDON (Portland Oregonian.) For the benefit of those repub lican electors who still have res ervations concerning Senator Guy Cordon ,in view of his sud den rise to office, we point out the senatorial vote in Mr. Cor don's home county, Douglas. The count at hand shows 2870 for Mr. Cordon and 656 for ex-Governor Sprague. That is a majority of 2214 in a. total vote of 3526. In fact If Mr. Cordon's neighbors had voted against him as strong ly as they voted for him ,the con testants would have ended the statewide race almost in a dead heat. It was the overwhelming expression of confidence on the part of the neighbors which really settled the issue, and if the people who know Mr. Cordon best feel that way about him the rest of us should bo able to look forward with every expectation of being pleased as wo get ac quainted. We do not know of another case where, as between contestants of equal standing, tho home county has given a tour and one-half majority. Meanwhile, the probability of Senator Cordon' success against Willis Mahoney in the November election is greatly enhanced by the excellent spirit in which this particular campaign was carried on and the fine sportsmanship whjch has been shown by ex Governor Sprague. Mr. Sprague has pledged his support to the victor, and in normally republi can Oregon, with a further re publican trend under way, that should be decisive. " Son Gladdened by Gift From Dad on War Duty Howard Burnette, who makes his home with his aunt, Mrs. V. V. Helbig, 1212 Corey Ave., Rose- burg, already has his birthday gift for the 12th anniversary he will celebrate June 2. His birth day present Is a cheek for $100 from his 'father, Sergeant H. C. Burnette, serving with an engi neering regiment on Admiralty islands. Along with the American mon ey, Howard received a handful c f Japanese occupation currency and a number of Australian coins. Howard offered to split the Japanese money with the News Review staff when ho appeared at the newspaper office to proud ly exhibit the letter from his sol dier father, but he wants to use the American money to buy a headstone' for the grave of his mother, who died when he was only a few months old. - ARE YOU INTERESTED IN REDECORATING?
