--meaning, presumably, that by
this time the Germans know all
about If.
, It Is. called the "flail" tank, and
was Invented by a South African.
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.
If you have a slide rule, you
might try figuring out what lh.it

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

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. And

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
