That will give us a great port from which to operate. THERE is an intimation in the hews that the Germans, In preparing their defense of the Atlantic wall, underestimated our LA N Brto G facilities. They thought we would HAVE to have a port, so they concentrated their defenses at Cherbourg and Havre, leaving the intervening beaches too thinly held. Wo struck WHERE THE ENE MY WAS WEAK, and our equip ment for landing on the beach was so complete that we were able to do what the Germans thought we COULDN'T do. Doing what the enemy thinks you can't do has always been ef fective in warfare. r fllE Russian offensive In Fnl- land appears to be a big one. The Finnish Mannerhclm line has been cracked' on a 25-mlle front, and front line dispatches say the red troops are- moving forward everywhere In high gear. The new big push seems to be de signed to knock Finland out of the war, thus providing a lesson to the neutrals and lire satellites that have been sticking closely to their German masters. .The attack is following the main Leningrad-Helsinki railroad. It is announced by Stalin himself with a flourish, Including the customary salvo from Moscow guns. ITALIAN dispatches tell us that von Mackcnson's original Mth German army, which has been fighting Its way back from Cas sino, has now "been dlscrsed to the four winds." All that remains of It, these dispatches say, "are a few scattered remnants now mainly engaged In stealing each other's transport In nn effort to escape." Many captured stragglers have passes Instructing them to pro ceed "alone or in small groups" to an assembly place near Flor ence, t Florence Is on the Arno river, which Is expected to be lite next German defense line in Italy.) 0l kUR air forces aiv bombing I German OIL supplies all over Romania, especially along the Danube river. There aro hints that Russian planes arc now shut tling back and forth between Rus sia and our bases In Italy. AS usual, the bad news comes from China. The Japs are closing in on Changsha from all directions, and a furious battle is raging there. Changsha's Chinese defenders haw Ihimi ordered to hold the city to the bloody end. GENERAL CHENNAULT (our air commanoVr in China) says: "The threat to Clinngshn brings the China war to tht- most furious peak In six years . ." lie adds; "The Pacific war could be pro longed for years If Japan Is ai lowtl to build a defensive wall laaa.a Dally Bxeeat Sunday ht M SALUTE By Charles TODAY is Flag Day- when we celebrate the action of Con gress in formally adopting the Stars and Stripes as the national flag. That act occurred June 14, 1777, but it was not until many years later that our flag was standardiz ed in its present form, with provision for stars representing each slate in order of admission to the Union. General George Washington, at Cambridge, Jan. 2, 1776, Without authorization from ed a flag of alternate red and white stripes with the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew on a blue field. According to generally accepted tradition, the first flag with stars replacing the crosses on the Uoss from a design submitted many historians contend the design was originated by Fran cis Hopkinson, designer of coins and currency minted by the Republic in its early days. A member of the committee annointed bv the Conti nental Congress to design a flag, described the significance of its arrangement as follows : The stars of the new flag represent the new constellation of States rising In the West. The Idea was taken from the constellation of Lyra, which In the land of Orpheus signifies harmony. The blue in the field was taken from the edges o the Covenanter's banner, in Scotland, significant of the . league-covenant of the United Colonies against oppression, incidentally involving the virtues of vigilance, perseverance and justice. The stars were disposed in a circle symbolizing the perpetuity of the Union; the ring, like the serpent of the Egyptians, signifying eternity. The thirteen atrlpes showed, with the stars, the number of the United Colonies, and denoted the subordination of the States to the Union, as well as equality among themselves. The whole was the blending of the various flags of the army and the white ones of the floatlhg batteries. The red color, which in Roman days was the signal of defiance, denoted daring; and the white purity. When Kentucky and Virginia were admitted to the Union, Congress, in 1795, changed the design to include 15 stripes and 15 stars, at the same time changing the stars from a circle to three rows of five each. But with the admission of more states, further modifi cation was necessary, and in 1818 Congress enacted a law providing : That from and. after the fourth day of July next, the flag of the United States be thirteen horizontal stripes, ulternate red and white; that the union have twenty stars, white In a blue field; That on the admission of every now state into the Union, one star bo added to the union of the flag; and that such addition shall take effect on the fourth of July next sue ceodlng such admission. Thus tdday we have a flag to which we pledge our alle giance; a flag which symbolizes progress, harmony, free dom, vigilance, perseverance, justice, perpetuity, equality, bravery and purity. There is a sect which refuses to salute that flac. their action being, based , from an argument that to do bo would be'idblatry. If we are to gaze upon the flag and payhom age merely to a piece of cloth attractively designed and dyed in an harmonious arrangement of color, then, perhaps, iney are right. But if we, by our reverence of our belief in and acceptance of the Christian virtues it symbolizes, then it is a privilege to be able to render our salute. along the Canton railroad." F you can spare a little time from the Invasion front In France, got out your map or Asia and study It realistically. You will be likely to come to the conclusion that the Japs are driving down through the center of China with the thought of building Just such a defensive wall along the Canton railroad as General Chennault refers to their idea being to SHUT US OFF from reaching China's southeast ern coast by way of India and GOVERNOR HORIZONTAL 57 Tantalises 1,7 Pictured eOAuttere governor of ' Arizona 13 Marked with spots 14 Sully forth 15 Any 16 Promissory note (nbbr,) 17 Symbol for ' radium ID Music note 20 Brazilian if measure tl Tear 23 Fleet 24 Gave food to 25 Book of the Bible 62 Discourses 63 Gazed 1 Traps 2 Convert into ions 3 Doctor of The- ology (abbr.) 4 Short sleep '-; 5 Sicilian E volcano i R 6 Biblical U K pronoun If" 7 Bone I j j( .10 Morsel 8 Couch 1 k 31 Vital war ' 9 Feminine1 metal undergarment" S5 Scold ?' i 10 Overtime ,.1R Barters 27 Smooth (nbbr.) 1 S 2B Compass point 11 Mellows h 29 Accomplish 12 Required V "f 31 Pnlm lily 32 South Dakota I (nbbr.) 33 Either t 34 within 'jw 1 35 Baronet "' (nbbr.) 37RlRht (abbr.) 38 Symbol for neon 39 Electrical term 41 Iroquoinn Indian 43 Adjoining 43Afrnld (Scot.) 46 Protest 50 Brazilian wallnba 51 Paid notice 52 Oboe (abbr.) 53 Upon 54 Ot the thing 5 That one i.i s 4 b i 11 i hi ho in ill 75- Zp. 15 TTS" "T: IT "" si -rr ! &?r Vi.'- --n-af ,TVp--ar-' '' 1 n rt Tj m TTcri i m nrpr 5rt It tr .'tt Si Jt. vr rr rr T 4" jv e in ' 1 i'ii ii lul ' 1 Mini iuidt..J " THE FLAG Y.

Upon leaving the head saw a log has been converted Into slabs, and Into six-inch or 12-inch "cants" from the heart of the log. These fall upon a "live" roller, which conveys them to other sawing units. The slabs go directly to an edger, which is an arrangement of small movable saws which re move the bark edges and other defects, and may convert the wide slabs Into a number of narrower boards. The "cants" are conveyed to a gang saw. The gang at Young's Bay is a Wiekes, . capable ot reducing a "cant" 50 inches wide and 20 inches high into 50 one-inch boards at a single operation, by means of oscillating, vertical saws set In a frame. This saw, sot upon a heavy re Harvest Outlook Good, Grange Told GRANTS PASS, Ore., June 14 (AP) The outlook for successful harvesting of Oregon state crops is bright despite the loss of 30,000 Oregon farmers to the services, J. Ralph Beck, state supervisor of the emergency farm labor board, told the state grange meet ing here. Women, children and Mexican workers are replacing the fight ing farmers, he said. Ralph Laird, Creswell, chair man of the agricultural commit tee urged farmers to liquidate debts in preparation for postwar adjustments. The committee stressed need for additional farm and city Victory gardens. The interim legislative commit tee asked for a strong stand for a liberal postwar fund to be tak en from the state income tax sur plus. Also asked was defeat of the sales tax proposal, while sup port of the proposed constitutional amendment to discontinue double liability requirements on stock of state-chartered banks was fa vored.

Williams "SI inforced concrete foundation, is powered by a 300 h. p. motor and can cut 150 thousand board feet of lumber during an eight-hour shift. A gang saw, used in con juction with a band saw at the head rig, spells mass production in a big way. A visitor to the mill probably will be much more impressed with the spectacular operation at the head rig, where the big logs are so cleverly handled by vari ous complex and adroit methods of machine manipulation; but for powerful, vicious and ruthless utility the gang saw heads the list. From the edger and the gang the boards are conveyed to the trim saws. The conveyors are an Ingenious system of rollers and cleated chains by which the lumber is carried forward, or to the side as the case may bo, from one opera tion in the plant, to the next. They are of intricate pattern and are labor-savers deluxe. Inciden tally they are fine things for an ignorant bystander such as a cam eraman to keep away from! dog Drummond at 8:30.

Yoncalla Red Cross Unit To Elect New Officers YONCALLA-Elcctibn of officers for 1944-1945 of the Yoncalla unit of the Red Cross will be held In the Red Cross rooms, Saturday afternoon, June 17 at 2:30 0 clock, Officers are elected for one year. The terms of the board of direc tors and division chairmen, nam ed by the retiring president end July 1. Should a new chair man be elected she has the priv ilege of assembling a group of women with whom she can work best. "This Yoncalla Red Cross' be ongs to the community. Certain things are required of it and the obligations increase monthly," says Mrs. George Edes. "The com munity expects the organization to reflect credit on It, and the of ficers elected to see the responsi bilities are fulfilled. The women who do the work and the Red Cross deserve better cooperation than they are getting, ifs only when the whole community is bo- hind a thing and shows the Inter est it should, that the best can be done. One way is by electing offi cers who can do the job best. Another way is to learn what the society is doing. If It is not enough, say so. If It is well man aged say so. A bit of appreciation helps a lot. A complete report of the entire year's work will be given, as well as the routine busi ness, by the board, following the election. Remember it is Your Red Cross. Attend and vote." Ouster of 2 Marion County Solons Sought SALEM. Ore, June 12 -(API-State Sen.
