A boom is built onto a tank, and at the end of the boom is n re volving drum. Lengths of heavy chain are attnehod to the drum, with one end fastened and the other hanging free. When the drum revolves, the chains "flail" the ground, exploding mines ahead of it Thus the tank acts as lis own mine-remover. THESE "flnllers" were first used against Rommel In the battle 3f Africa. Some of Iho British lanks equipped with the device cleared ALL the mines out of their path as they wont. One of them destroyed 47 mines on a single-run. lllli Americans think of our- If selves as having the bulk of the world's Inventive genius. We're smart that way, all right, but others are smart. It was the British who invent cd the tank. I Oddly enough, they had so Utile faith In it that when it was sprung in France In the last war it was insufficiently backed when it went Into action and although it actually broke through the German lines the break through couldn't be exploited. . It reminds us or some of our own inventions. The repeating rifle, for example, which was In vented ahead of the war between the states and offered to the War department but was rejected. Wli talk and talk of inflation In this country, but since nothing DRASTIC in that line has yet happened we're inclined Jo laugh it off as just somebody's fool idea. . Here's nn illustration of what hapens when inflation gets loose: In 1!)3H, the value of the Greek drachma, was nine-tenths of one American cent. The I'. S. cent is now worth 175.000 drachmas.

Wendell Trultt, Oakland, was THE RECREATION PROGRAM DIALjPlOG By SUSAN. By Charles V. StantoS ROSEBURG'S summer recreation program, although mak ing a late start, is gaining momentum rapidly and prom ises exceptional success for a first-year effort. The city has been extremely fortunate to have such men as Harold Hickerson, chamber of commerce secretary, Mel Ingram, athletic supervisor, and Paul Elliott, acting superintendent of schools, to aid in the direction of the activity. Many others have contributed time, effort and money, and, in our opinion, are achieving one of the most important develop ments in the city's new era of progress. We have stressed on previous occasions our personal the ory that a good sports town is a good business town, as well as a more enjoyable place to live. Roseburg has been lack ing in facilities for recreation, nor have we, as residents of the city, always given encouragement to sports, athletic com petition and supervised play. For one reason, we live in one of the finest outdoor play grounds of God's creation. A ten-minute drive by automo bile is all that is required to reach fine fishing water or a good picnic spot. We have not always needed manufactured playgrounds. But now we have passed the village days when boys could play a game of work-up on the neighbor hood sandlot and the days when it was safe for the young sters to romp at hide-and-seek on the streets. As popula tion and traffic congestion increase, there will be an accom panying demand for more tennis courts, playgrounds, athletic fields, swimming pools, etc. There is no better time than now to begin acquiring these facilities. We are greatly pleased by the excellent start already made in that direction, and we desire to express our personal appreciation to all who have assisted. We also are grateful to the federal War Public Services for helping us plan the methods of setting up our program, lT"ay1 aer"on (Eth,er , ... 1 1 . " . ' ! will be back, all rested (an oiiu vu caui l-sh uiiiims in uuvancu tor me imanciui aiu which we anticipate will be forthcoming soon, through fav orable action upon the city's application. The agency is one which, recognizing the need for recrea tion where industry is predominantly connected with war production, assists communities growing too rapidly to fur nish all of the facilities they need, in meeting the cost of supervision and expendable equipment. But we are not depending entirely upon federal assistance ih our local program. An appropriation has been authorized by the city government. Contributions have been made by numerous individuals. A substantial sum has been created to finance permanent installations and supervision. The work is being conducted under the direction of a Park Commission, appointed by the mayor and approved by the city council. The suggestion has been made, and we believe it to be perfectly sound and most desirable, that the Park Com mission be given authority by ordinance to accept contribu tions on behalf of the city. The measure should be so fram ed, and the commission created in such manner that con tributions would be deductible from income taxes. The com mission should be empowered to hold receipts in reserve funds, sitcli as a swimming pool fund, until accumulations are sufficient to meet the cost of the desired project. Thus over a period of a few years the city of Roseburg could "build a swimming pool, tennis courts, community playgrounds, recreation field, a community center and other of the many things we so badly need. There are two (and maybe ithree) don't miss spots tonight- aside from the regular news ana news commentators and those, naturally are Point Sublime at 8:30 and Sherlock Holmes at 10. The "maybe" is the 8 o'clock time for your local western tunes if the Bunkhouse Boys are back it's always a "don't miss" if they aren't back, you'll still hear good western music. They tell a good story on Mel Blanc, Point Sub lime's "Mooney." It seems he stopped on his way to the studio to rehearse the July third show and bought some firecrackers lor his young son (the Legion were selling them and they were pre war stock). But upon reading the script he was afraid to let the poor child shoot them off on the Glorious Fourth because of the ribbing he'd get from friends and neighbors. The strange talc of the oriental wind bells, that blew no one any good, will be related by the slow but sure Dr. Watson on tonight's Sherlock Holmes at 10 in "The Adventure of the Sinister Wind Bells." Crime with the touch of the exotic here and a full quota of gore and chills. Tomorrow a. m. is American's Woman's Jury at 10:35; Organ Chimes at 11:15 and a new show at 11:30. Jane Cowl, famous star of the stage, will star in a fifteen minute production titled "Just Between You and Jane Cowl." We're looking forward to it.

" tn , """. and , -"ier --ward n-- ""ir s"g, Aa you may havo read in the newspapers, the OfRce of Defense Transportation has given tho railroad authority to take train space from civilian passengers at any time, lo make room for wounded servico men. ' We sincerely hope that people planning trips not essential to the war effort will cancel their plans so that more room will be left on trains, and so make it unnecessary to take theso drastic steps. We are going1 to take care of these wounded men first. They come first with us, and we believe they come 6rst with you. But we and other railroads would dislike very much to cancel reservations at the last minute, or to make people already on trains give up their space. Tho invasion of Europe has started, and how great tho toll of wounded will be nobody knows. We have our wounded from tho Pacific coming in too. And more and more cars must be taken for them from the restricted amount of equipment left after the regular military requirements are met. We cannot guarantee that if you start a trip you -will be able to got space returning. You must face that fact If you're away from home on a pleasure trip and emergency space cancellations must be made, you may have great difficulty getting back. For some time we have been urging people not to travel except on essential business. We haven't enjoyed doing this. For many years we have been trying to promote travel, and it "goes against the grain" to suggest that people stay off the trains. The very fact that we have issued these appeals should indicate tho seriousness of the travel situation. And the new ODT order emphasizes this still more. Why don't we provide more cars, more trains? Virtually no new cars can be built during war time. Materials are scarce, and car builders have been making guns and tanks and other war equipment. With the biggest army and navy in our his tory, about 63 of all Pullman slecpin j cars have to be used exclusively for military service. Travel by men in uniform on furlough, or traveling on orders, plus the greatly increased volume of business travel due to the war production effort, taxes the capacity of the remaining equipment used in regu lar passenger train service. There are no more passenger cars" available. We must get along with what we have. We have now reached the point where there just isn't room on our trains for people who don't have to travel. People planning a vacation or other non-essential trip may think "There's always room for one more." Well, there isn't. If you are planning a train trip not essential to the war effort, we strongly advise you to change your plans, now. The friendly Southern Pacific
