Hint Hitler Just HASN'T MEN
ENOUGH.
"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."

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

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

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.
