tion of American riflemen perch
ed on tanks picking off German
ROCKET gunners. What kind of
locket guns?
At the other end of the Nor
mandy line, the British and
Canadians arc fighting off de
termined and bloody counter-attacks.
The concentrations of Ger
mans in front of the British here
are almost unprecedented, aver
aging a division to two miles, or
at least one man per foot.
The Germans obviously fear
that we'll break through into the
rear of the great port of Havre
and drive on northward to cut
off robot-launching areas they
set so much store by. Your map
will make this possibility quite
plain.
THE Berlin radio says we're
concentrating heavy forces in
the Tyrrhenian sea for an IM
MINENT new landing in north
ern Italy in the neighborhood of
Genoa and Spezla.
It .might be. Their Golha line,
slat-ting at Pisa, is a TOUGH
MOUNTAIN line, antl we know
'.from Casslno what smashing
.these mountain lines costs. A leap
frog Jump up the coast might
solve the problem.
OUR progress in Normandy has
been slow. War Seeretury
Sllmson, Just back from Europe,
offers a possible reason.
The Germans did a highly ef
ficient Job of destroying the port
'facilities at Cherbourg, he snys,
pud repairs are not yet sufficient
ly advanced lo permit lis full use.
We're still landing a very large
part of our men and supplies on
the original beachheads.
We've been greatly hampered
by the pro-Hitler weather.
THE Germans are obviously
fighting hauler In Normandy
than in Poland. One wonders
why. The most plausible explana
tion is that the German armies
on the Russian front have lieen
largely commanded by the so
called ailtl-Hitler generals, where
as ALL-NAZI Rommel commands
on the Normandy front.
There Is also the fact that a
break-through on the Normandy
front Would threaten their robot
Installations, and Hitler anil his
henchmen are still pinning a lot
of faith to the robots.
THERE is a bit more detail on
the German generals the Four
Horsemen are shooting. The out
givings of the Berlin radio sug
gest a total of SIX additional
liquidations, and Goebbels Is mut
tering 1H his bloody beard about
more killings still to come.

MAKING GOOD CITIZENS
By Charles
TOVERNOR EARL SNELL
intermediary penal institution for teenagc first offen
dors. This proposal is not new. It has been offered on
numerous occasions as a partial solution to our problem of
juvenile delinquency. Adoption of the plan, however, has, in
our opinion,' been too long delayed.
Just because a boy or a girl
is no reason why he or she
forever. Yet that frequently
system.
We all know that environment is one of the principal fac
tors in a child's life. Thrown with bad companions, a
child is oasily led astray. But given the proper home life and
parental training, plus the right kind of companionship,
almost any boy or girl will grow into a good citteen.
When, under existing conditions, it becomes necessary for
society to provide correction
placed in an "industrial" school, more generally known as a
"reform" school. Just how
title "reform"' is more than
The offender is thrown in
juvenile incorrigibles, learns new methods of crime and
evasion of law, develops a hatred for authority, and is turned
loose with far greater potential criminal abilities than be
fore his incarceration.
Naturally, this is not true
lieve, the rule rather than the exception.
There are some reformations. These are usually youths
with sufficient mental capacity and will power to absorb
corrective teaching.
Juvenile delinquency, in most cases, is a sign of sub-normal
mentality or an abnormal inferiority complex.
We recall a youth in one of our pre-war CCC camps. He
was very small for his age. He had been in a great deal of
trouble with the law in the large city in which he had made
his home. He was allergic to camp authority and was one
V the most difficult boys of the company in the matter of
discipline. . But he loved machinery. The foreman con
ceived the plan of permitting the youngster to operate the
bulldozer, a job requiring a great deal of energy and skill.
Immediately the lad was a changed character. He insisted
on working two shifts, because he wanted no one other than
himself to touch his beloved machine. As he pushed huge
boulders, tore down trees and scraped great gashes in the
hillsides for roadways, he was filled with a sense of power
and responsibility. From an incorrigible he became one
of the best behaved and most responsible boys in camp.
We imagine lie is in the armed forces somewhere today and
we are convinced that he is a real soldier.
We hope the governor, in planning correction for youth
ful offenders, will think seriously of the method of train-1
ing developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps. We be-1
lieve that hundreds of our young people can be saved from '
lives of crime by being placed in outdoor camps where theyj
may be made to foel they are contributing something to
society, and where their inferiority complexes, the under
lying causes of their waywardness, can be transformed into
,i spirit of self-confidence.

Young's, Olympia
Supply Capture
Softball Games
The Young's Bay and Olympia
Supply Co. teams were winners
in softball games last night,
Young's Bay defeating Roseburg
Lumber 10 to 7 and Olympia Sup
ply taking a 10 to 1 decision over
Dunham's.
Both of the defeated teams
were handicapped by absence of
their regular pitchers and were
playing with makeshift lineups.
Losee, 15-year old twirler for
Young's Bay, turned in a good
game, except for occasional wild
ness, permitting only six hits. He
was called in to take over the
pitching chores in an earlier
game, when Young, regular twir
ler, suffered a neck injury.
Roseburg Lumber missed
Blake, their regular heaver, and
was forced to shift the lineup
while Westbrook and Strode were
used on the mount.
Young's Bay took a command
ing lead in the first inning and
was never headed, although
Roseburg Lumber attempted a
rally late in the contest.
Dunham's, lacking the services
of Ellison, resorted to three
pitchers, Wlard, Domenico and
Rice, but could not halt the
Olympia Supply field day, al
though Wlard held the Supply
men scoreless for three innings,
but blew up in the fourth frame,
when his arm grew tired under
the unaccustomed chore.

law with being penniless and
without visible means of support.

strong enough to fight myself,"
Leroy said.
She ignored scores of telephone
calls offering aid from San Fran

jailers said.
