'"; IHE Russian offensive In Fin land Is rolling on, and the Finns are evacuating all civilians from Vllpurl and rushing troops there from every place they can be laid hands on. ' In Washington, the Finnish minister and three of his coun selors are handed their passports and told to GET OUT on the first available transport. They arc ac cused of "activities Inimical to the interests of tho U. S." ' We're pouring the heat on the Finns and Inviting the other satellites and neutrals to LOOK. TO an unprejudiced observer, Pe Gaulle looks more and more as the days pass like a cheap politician who wants the inside track In France AFTER the war. (This opinion, of course, is guesswork; the news Is too strongly tinged with proiwgandu to form a REAL opinion.) A French army, presumably coming from Corsica, takes III'.' Island of Elba, off the Italian coast. From Elba to the Italian mainland is only a shor step ,(see map). SIIAEF reports that the French underground Is giving FULL SUPPORT to the invasion, sabo taging German rail and road com munications, wrecking trains, blowing up bridges, attacking German garrisons and even oc cupying whole villages. The underground Is made up of real Frenchmen, who have felt the hard hand of the German master, as distinguished from politicians who have stayed AWAY FROM FRANCE In h fomparaiivc'sHfety of Africa) and England. - 1 " ' ' VjHH!S ?SERT ROSE? OUT OUR WAY By J. R. Williams By .Cherlet V. Stanton THE Council on Books in Wartime has just issued, we are informed "a 6p,0q0--word treatise by the OWI entitled "A War Atlas for Americans.'' We haven't received a copy of this atlas, with its 4 pages of new maps,' which already must be obsolete, but we are wondering if it is anything like "A Handbook of the United States of America," which assigned four and one half (-f 12) pages to the history of the United States from the time of Leif Ericsson "down to the date the New Deal took over the reins of government, and devoted ten and three-quarters (10 34) pages to the presidency of Franklin DeWm, Roosevelt; a "book" which ' mentions two American women, Jane Addams, the great American social worker, arid l-ady Eleanor, globe-trotter extraordins ry. Or" we wonder if it is anything like the 68-page' pamphlet 'The Negro' in the War," ' which cost $85,000 and ran into 2,i5OO,0OO copies'. " The U. S. handbook was barred from circulation in this country by act of congress, but was reprinted in England by a private publisher and sold for $2 per copy. The negro pairiphlet, prominently displaying photographs of the presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, created such an uproar, particu larly from congressmen from the southern states, that Emer Davis, head of the OWI, reports no copies have been distributed since July 1, 1943. Ia the "War Atlas for Americans," with its 60,000-word text and foreword by Mr. Davis, to be another flower f'born to blush unseen 1" We are particularly interested in this matter, for the Council on Books in Wartime tells us that in addition to the heralded "War Atlas for Americans," it is "also respon sible for publishing more than 35,000,000 books a year for fchipment to service men overseas." If any part of those f.5-million books are like those which congress won't let the home folk read, maybe we ought to send them to the Arabs to keep company with the thousands of lapel buttons, bear ing the picture of' President Roosevelt on one side and the American flag on' the other, which Waltefr Davenport, Colliers' political editor, said were reported by a soldier to be "very handy for the lend-lease diapers, in which desert babies are now being swaddled." C;ur interest is, of course, purely mercenary, for while all this propaganda goes abroad, so that the Arabs may know what the president and the American flag look like, our business manager, Mr. Knapp', is glumly pondering the possible necessity for rationing advertising space and sub scriptions. He tells us that in our enthusiasm to give our readers the "dope"' on the election, news of the invasion, sell ing war bonds and trying to keep up business levels, we have used more than our monthly quota of newsprint. Con scqivently we look with jealous eyes .upon the Council of Books in Wartime and its liberality with the newsprint we could be putting to use in our own business. ' ' We also look with mixed emotions upon a 30-inch high vvastepaper basket, which flanks our desk, iiow almost level with wastcpaper, a liberal part of which is discarded gov ernment propaganda. ' ' ' Perhaps it is more important the American people have a war iitlas with 84 maps and 60,000 words, written by a Princeton professor for the OWI, than to have a news paper to tell them what their boys arc undergoing on the battle fronts. Maybe it is better to tell the people of foreign lands twice as much about President Roosevelt as about American his tory, including Eleanor, than jt is to devote advertising space to the sale of war bonds and maintaining normal rela tions between the business man and the consumer. We don't know the answer; we give up. We only work here! ' By SUSAN. Tills is the night for the True rVlnrtivp Mvstnrlna nt 7-.'M.

American ground fdrcos In France, tells the cor1 respondents that TWICE at the beginning of the Invasion If. w$ touch and go, and if the Ger mans had hit hard at the right place at the right time they might have driven us back Into the sea. Once was when the American First (regular army) division en countered a reinforced German division, already on the beach for maneuvers, and again when two U. S. army corps were trying to Join their beachheads. Fortunately, the Germans fail ed to take advantage of these op portunities. AMERICAN casualties' on the Normandy beaches up to Fri day total .V-'ttt killed and 12,600 wounded. It appears probable that the Americans so far have suffered more heavily than the British or the Canadians.

(AP) Federal condemnation of pri vately owned lands In Harney county for a migratory water fowl refuge was authorized today by the ninth circuit court of ap peals, reversing a decision of the Oregon federal district court. The appeals court In San Fran cisco upheld validity of a 1933 act that authorized the federal government to condemn property to be used for public works. In f935 the government con demned 3474 acres in Harney county and Gordon T. Carey and Stacy D. George brought suit, contending congress did not au thorize condemnation of private ly owned lands for refuge pur poses. The federal district court ruled In September, 1942, that the condemnation was invalid. Beavers Lose to Los Angeles, Drop To Fourth Place (By the Associated Press) - The Los Angeles Angels broke two Coast league baseball ties last night by defeating the Port land Beavers, 5 to 1. The Angels took undisputed possession of sixth place, half a game ahead of Oakland, and Portland dropped to fourth posi tion from tie with Hollywood for third. It was the only regular game scheduled other teams re suming play tonight. Steady pitching by Camellas of the Angels, who kept seven hits well scattered, handed the Bea vers their eighth consecutive de feat. At Hollywood 2,500 fans who purchased $1,500,000 worth of war bonds saw Red Ruffing's Sixth Ferrying group, of Long Beach, defeat the Stars, 7 to 1, in an exhibition game. In another exhibition at San Francisco an army all-star outfit composed of players from vari ous military establishments in the bax area defeated the league leading Seals, 5 to 1.

CHARLES A. EDWARDS Carpenters' Union to Sponsor Labor Day Fete Plans for a Labor day cele-1 bration to be held at Roseburg are being tentatively formulated by a special committee of Car penters' Union No. 1961 of the United Brotherhood of Carpen ters and Joiners of America, J. There are two ways of fac ing the passing years. One is to think that they bring us nearer to the end of life; the other 'is that they bring us nearer to the beginning of real life. As far back as the time of Job this second view point was held. A shock of xtrn or wheat is lovely in its Jifferent stages- o develops ment. "First the blade, then the ear, -and after that the full corn in the ear." Yet it is nly when it has been gathered into the garner, that it com mences its real career of use fulness, that of feeding the hungry multitudes. Robert Browning presents this view poin of the passing years: "Grow old along with me, the point of the passing years: for which the lirst was made." We have much to say about the type of life we will reap with age. "They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zion, which cannot be moved." Homer speaks of the "Rosy fingered dawn," giving a joy ous tone to life. In Arizona they talk of "the after glow,'; a strange unearthly yet gor geous color which is seen aginst the clear skies of the desert after a glorious sunset. This "after glow'" is what should come to those who have labored through lire's long day, and come to the evening with the "after glow" of a life spent in service. Amen. Cornilsen, secretary, reports. The decision to sponsor the Labor day program was .adopted at the union's last regular meeting at which time officers for the en suing term were elected. . - . . The new officers include E. T. Ogle, president; C. Currier, vice president; L. Hewitt, recording secretary; J. Cornilsen, financial secretary; E. D. Burghardt, treas urer; B. D. Jameson, conductor; Charles Poirot, warden. - State Hospital Head, Employee Face Charges BLACKFOOT, Idaho, June 20. -(AP) Dr. D. A.
