"f HE landings were made along the Riviera coast, to the enst of the mouth of the Rhone. The level valley of the Rhone, one of the historic routes for invasion' of Europe from the south, stretch es northward from Marseilles. British General Maitland, allied commander in the Mediterranean, says: "Our purpose is to join up with the allied armies advancing from Normandy." i ' VVhen these armies ' meOLd France will have been practically liberated from the Germans. THE comparative case with which the landings seem to have been made suggests that the Germans may be getting out of (ill of France as swiftly as they can. As to that, only time can tell. IN tile Normandy pocket, von Kluge's 7th Germun army is still fighting for its life. News of this mighty battle is scarce as tills Is written, but von Kluge's escape route has been narrowed to less than ten miles. Ho is said to be bringing in re inforcements (where they arc coming from, if he is surround ed all but 10 miles, not being ap parent) but the dispatches assert that they arc 80':',. "slave troops," tossed In as a rear guard sacrifice in an effort to save Ills best troops and his armor. We shall have tu wait a Utile longer to learn whether his army is destroyed as we hope. EISKNIIOWF.R says: "The Ger mans (in Normandy) held on TOO LONG, and underestimated our strength." That Is always a bad mistake. It is the Job of the high command to AVOID such mistakes. That Is what high commands are for. Eisenhower's statement strengthens the belief that Hitler has killed off loo many of his generals. THE Russians, striking from the southeast, storm across the Hiehrza river, the last major na tural obstacle between I hem and East Prussia. They are following a railroad and a highway through the marshy, bog-strewn Masurian lakes country that guards East I'russla's southern bolder. They are inching nearer to Warsaw and to Krakow. They are methodically liquidating the Germans trapped in the Haltlo states. THERE has bi-en no mvnt news from the small neutral and satellite nations. They must le getting Blmosl frightened enough to do something drastic. The time to make eacc is draw ing nearer, and so far they have no chips to lay on the table. EISENHOWER, speaking to those whose Inclination Is to jump too quickly to conclusions, says: "The Germans on the Nor mandy front are tHklng a sound beating, but wo are still a long way from the Rhine." No on" ran say WHEN tbr We PROOF OF By Charlai V. Stanton CIVIC pride and enthusiasm of any community can usually be measured by activities of its chamber of commerce. If residents of a community really feel their home town is a good place In which to live, they will want to promote its welfare and invite others to share its benefits with them. They will, therefore, cooperate in maintainance of a chamber of commerce and will insist that it be an active and vigorous body, clearly reflecting the attitude of the population. That Roseburg's rapid industrial growth has resulted in a new burst of civic enthusiasm is shown by the half-year report of its chamber of commerce. Not only has the organization maintained close contact with the community's development, anticipating and meet ing needs resulting from rapid growth, but it is looking into the future and is at work on many projects of greatest importance. Some of these projects, when brought to sucess ful conclusion, will bo of untold benefit. The report covering the first six months of the year is modest and sketches only in broad terms work which has demanded a great deal of time, energy and sacrifice on the part of many officers and members. The summary, compiled by the secretary and submitted to the membership in a monthly bulletin, lists the following achievements : Placed In operation a new system of membership, finance, project and Inquiry records. Established a program of dues collection on a quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis at a great saving of time, energy and expense. Given full cooperation to the raising of funds for the Red Cross, Boy Scouts, Salvation Army and other worthy organizations. Made a contribution of time, energy and some funds to the successful completion of the 4th and 5th War Loan campaigns. Enrolled 141 members in the Roscburg Chamber of Commerce $500 War Bond club with a total of over $90,000 worth of E bonds sold. Spearheaded a movement towards the organization of a Douglas County Recreational district according to the Recdsport plan. Brought into operation a modest and rapidly growing recreational program for the City of Roscburg. Assisted in promoting a program of Improving the North Umpqua highway and East Second Avenue South which will cost more than $200,000; costs to be borne by the NRA, highway commission, lumber industry, county court and the City of Roscburg. Sponsored an application for federal aid to assist in .. financing an addition to Mercy hospital. Answered 514 written Inquiries regarding Roscburg and Douglas county. Furnished the members of the realty board with a list of 238 persons indicating a desire to invest In real estate in this area, Initiated a program calling for better rail transportation .service through Douglas, Coos and Curry counties. This .;.. ."movement Is supported by civic organizations in those counties and there are some indications that it may succeed. Organized a local unit of the Civil Air Patrol, which is furnishing a large number of our young people an oppor tunity to receive speclul training in subjects related to mili tary and civil aviation. It would be interesting in connection with tbe above report to have a statement of total man-hours expended by officers and members in carrying out the tasks enum erated. Business men these days are harassed by many worries and cares. They must devote many overtime hours to their own enterprises. All are lacking in qualified help. Yet there has been a general willingness on the part of business men to take time they can so ill afford to lose from their private interests to labor industriously for and with the chamber of commerce. It in only because of such enthusi asm in civic matters that an outstanding report is possible. A chamber of commerce cannot operate successfully with out the whole-hearted support and cooperation of all its members. The report quoted above is ample proof of com munity pride and optimism concerning future welfare. Pitchers Play top Roles in Pacific Coast Ball Games (By the Associated Press.) Pitchers stole the show in Coast league baseball yesterday, three six-hit games being pitched while two hurlers helped mater ially at bat. Southpaw Fischer of Seattle stopped the Portland Ueaver win streak at seven straight for a 3 to 2 victory in which lie scored twice and batted In the third run. The Hollywood stars gained a 2 lo 1 win over San Francisco w hen Mihasek, Star hurler, slam met! out a hit in the tenth in ning to drive in the winning score. Mihasek scattered six hits while his mates were reaching .-cais ior ij. I San Diego defeated Sacramen to. 3 to 1, when Salkeld slapped out a two-run double in the fifth inning. Joe Wood. Jr.. won his second straight from the Pudros with a six hit performance. Oakland and Ixs Angeles split a nouiueneader, the Angels wln- Grrtnan end will come. All wc can be certain of Is that it WILL come. THE Pacific, for the moment, is relatively quiet, but one has the feeling that it is the calm be fore another storm. MacArthur announces that Hal mahcra. the last island block be fore the Philippines, has been "practically neutralized" by air bombardment. "The flexibility of this great Iwse." he says, "is now gone." Our China-based heavy bombers hit Formosa. There will be other headlines from the Pacific soon.
