big Russian thrust in that area
and are tightening up to meet it.
IlE and the British are fighting
If for more elbow room in the
' Cherbourg peninsula. We've got
to have more space to handle the
armies and the equipment we're
bringing in through .Cherbourg.
The Germans there are fight
ing to keep us from expanding.
r HE weather improves a little,
enabling large numbers of our
planes to get into the fighting
again.
still
this
THE German robots are
failing in - England, but
much is becoming clear:
They're NOT stopping the Iri
vasiori, or even checking it.
They're making the British MAD
DER by the day. Demands .for
TOUGHER treatment of the Ger
mans (in the peace) are rising
menacingly from the British
people. "
It's at least a fair guess that
the robots are Just a propaganda
device to buck ' up German
morale.
HITLER comes out of the silence
to make a couple of speeches,
which are sketchily reported by
the German radio.
He says "WE" (Germans won't
capitulate, but will fight to the
"lat drop of our blood."' What
lie means is that HE won't capitu
late. .
Hitler is a 'cornered Dilllnger
who has everything to lose (in
cluding his neck) and NOTHING
to gain by. capitulating. He's per
fectly willing to fight to the last
drop of GERMAN blood. '
ANYTHING is better than
what HE will get when German
surrender comes.
T
HE Japs were right. We DID
attack the Bonins.
It was a two-day fight. Pianos
from our carriers went in the
first day, and the second day our
warships moved in with their big
guns. We sank or beached three
Jap destroyers, sank two other
ships and shot down 60 to 80 Jap
planes at a cost of nine of ours.
By Charl V. Stanton
JOHN KOLB and Clyde Wiard were telling us about
unique and particularly pleasant experiences they had
over the Fourth of July. As we listened we could not help
but contrast the pictures they drew with those of a letter
wej have jfrpm Lieutenant Allen Cordon, son of U. S. Sena.
tor and Mrs. Guy Cordon, and husband of Helen Cordon of
Roseburg. How sharp 'is the contrast between the scenes
o( peace and war I Kealizing the peaceful scenes we have at
home, how essential it becomes that we hasten the day when
our boys ( can be brought back from the spots where their
eyes fall upon views of desolation and horror. Power to
speed their return lies in our hands hands capable of pro
ducing the materials of war and writing the checks with
which to buy war bonds.
John told us about stopping his car to avoid striking a
female native pheasant on the North Umpqua road. The
hen refused to leave the roadside. As John stepped out of
the automobile, the bird ruffled her feathers, stretched out
her beak and moved toward him, uttering a peculiar hiss
ing sound. , Her action was explainable, for, from the op
posite side of the road, came cautious peeps of her curious
brood from Which she had been separated by the automobile.
"Our first yiew of the beachhead was one I shall never
forget," writes Lieutenant Cordon. "Everywhere was silent
evidence of the terrific bombing and shelling the place had
undergone. As we waited for our transportation, the over
powering silence of ruin and destruction closed in on us.
We talked in forced light tones to convince each other
there was nothing to be apprehensive about. Suddenly
there was a terrific swishing whine in the air above us, and
then a geyser of water spurted hiufe into the air. The
place was being shelled! This was war! , ,,, s,,
Clyde Wiard spent the Fourth of July in the coast range,
over on the headwaters of Coos river. "If I had only had
a camera, Clyde lamented, "I could have had some won
derful wildlife pictures.
, A bull elk, with a rocking chair spread of horns, grazed
nearby. ' Undisturbed by the intrusion of picnickers, he
continued to .loiter near the campsite in full view of the
members of the party.
Allen writes: , .
"Vo were all kidding one of the boys who had Just been
married before he came overseas. This boy, Roy Martin,
was a nice-looking, clean-cut kid, and he took it cheerfully.
, His main objective in life, as with all of us over here, was
to go. back home. I talked to Roy quite a while that night,
and finally went to bed with a 'see you in the morning,
Roy.' I didn't realize then how true that parting statement
was. On this morning a large number of German aircraft
' pulled a sneak raid. We heard the ack-ack open up on
them. As we tore for cover, we heard a Jerry plane peel
off and howl over us. Immediately thereaftct- all hell broke
loose. There was a terrific roar. My body seemed as though
It was going- to explode and I was enveloped in a bright
red flash of light. The corner of our foxhole was blown
away.
"We waited a few moments In case there should be
more attacks, then hastened outside to see where the bomb
had hit. What a sight! We had left a thick stand of big
, trees when we ran to our foxholes. We returned to a
BaPlnK hole. Uttered with broken trees, wires, tents, equip
ment. Directly on top of our foxhole lay the remnants of
a body; a head, part of the torso. The rest was scattered
: about the area, and subsequently was picked up and
burled. We couldn't Identify him, but a check revealed it
. to be Roy yes, Roy Martin, from whom I had parted the
night before with 'see you in the morning, Roy.' I saw him,
but he didn't see me. Nor would c see his wife again, nor
' the yet unborn baby to have been his."
Can you imagine what our boys would give to leave scenes
of such horror to gaze upon a mother pheasant belligerently
defending her young, or a lordly elk, disdainful of campers?
We believe they would be willing to give far more than
a simple investment of their idle funds in war bonds.

Congresswoman Clare BnnUiii
Luce by her GOP convention
speech drew the small-bore cali
bre fire of the. idolatrous section
of the New Deal press. One claim

was a glamorous eye-full, and

The republican press, if it eared

appear "cute and conscientious"
have left the deep impression she

Lloyd 0. Nelson
Heerd Over Air
From Tokyo Radio
" Lloyd O". Nelson son of Mr. and
Mrs. O. W. Nelson 427 Mill St.
ing Roeeburg, was heard July 1,
broadcasting from Tokyo, where
he is held as a prisoner of war,
following his capture on Wake
Island, where he was employed
with civilian construction crpw
when' the Jap, attacked that Pa
cific .base; !-.';
Iri his broadcast he reported he
was well and gave the names of
a number of his friends In the
same camp, including James Rei
ser, Roseburg, and Ernie Cole,
Lookingelass. In a letter receiv
ed by his parents in March he In
cluded the name of i-ugene tmr-
gls, Roseburg, as a prisoner in
the same camp.
Mrs. Nelson is very apprecia
tive of the kindness of radio lis
teners who reported the broad
cast. In addition to an official
telegram from a government
agency; she has , received 69 let
ters, 22 postcards' and three tele
grams, all from listeners through
out the western states and in Can
ada. ' -- .
des, her sponsor and you too,
.particularly if you missed the
program. Mrs. B. and Manager
Pengra both of them very kindly
offered to take the blame in part
but since they did all our worK
last week, we have't the heart.
Now that we've gotten that off
our copscience, we' pause to re
mind you that tonight is Double
or Nothing night at 6:30 we
haven't heard the new stream
lined version yet, but we're pret
ty sure that Tenor Frank Forrest
with hi grand opry air Won't be
missed at our house. Eye Witness
New1 at 8, Name That Song at
8:30 blossoms forth with a new
sponsor we're of the opinion
that the sponsor in this case
Lmade a good deal, because it re
mains our favorite program Of
the week, except maybe Point
Sbbllme. We had the pleasure of
meeting the lucky young lady
who won five dollars a couple of
weeks bbo. Very thrilled, she wa
and We don't blame her. Any-'
way, . be sure to listen in to
night for the first performance
under the' new sponsor.
By SUSAN.
Well, we're back in the groove
but definitely because here we
are starting off with an apology.
We didn't know that Music you
Remember was back on the live
talent list until It was too late to
tell you to be sure to listen on
Thursday evening at 6:30. Esther
Geddes will bring you organ mu
sic each Tuesday and Thursday
evening after this. We know
that's good news because so many
of us enjoyed her programs be
fore. So our deepest and most
apologetic bow toward Mrs. Ged-
To serve others as we would
be served. ' '

anions Amcrjcan service men in England by
the British Institute of Public Opinion.'.
When hundreds of men were asked point'

that they would vote against it. There's no
