show you WHY they mean busi
ness. Salpari Is disturbingly close
to Japan's front door. '
ACCORDING to the Jap radio
version, our B-29 raid was a
complete flop. We did no damage
ut all to the big steel mills. It
seems that some Jap farmer was
burnnlg a pile of wpeat (not rice)
straw out In Iront of his barn
und our fliers saw It and mistook
it for the flames ' of damaged

That's telling us otl!
THEHE was NO Jap air resist

We hit at so MANY places" In

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

coast. From Elba to the Italian
mainland is only a shor step

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

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! '

DIALflpLOG
GENERAL BRADLEY, com
manding . 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.
AM the home front, the "singing
yj cowboy from Pocatcllo" is a
few votes ahead for the demo
cratic nomination for senator In
Idaho. About the only way for
Idaho to save Its good, name is to

Condemnation of Land
For Fowj Refuge Upheld
PORTLAND, June 20. (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. '

DAILY DEyOTIONS
DR. 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. -
