Over this bridgehead he Is pouting his armored forces', and one guesses that as they get across they will separate -one column turning to the lert DOWN THE SEINE and the other turning to the light to encircle Paris and get behind the MARNE. Another of his armored spear heads Is swinging around Palis to the soiith. The capture of Paris Is reported to be still Incidental In our plans. Our big Job is smashing the Germans left in Normandy, and If possible pre venting Hitler's forces from matt ing a stand on the Seine's right bank. IN the south of France, we have by passed Toulon and Marseille and are pushing up the Rhone. We'll take Marseille and Toulon at our leisure.

De Gaulle has Just landed at Cherbourg and apparently in tends to take over when Paris fulls. CPEAKING at Portland, P. If. Cummings, New York1,' air traffic representative for tlie" Railway Express agency, predicts transportation of maiW of 6regon's perishable agri cultural products to eastern' rtiarWt by air express in' the postwar period. This prediction is not new. In fact, de velopment of air express was well under way prior to the war and it probably would have reached substantial propor tions had not the war intervened to curtail availability of equipment. Air express was used quite extensively by turkey growers in shipping poults and eggs. T'he floral and nursery indus tries have made good use of aerial transportation. Costs, however, have, in the past, precluded the use of air trans portation for bulky or heavy cargoes. Aeronautical science, hus now produced new types of equipment, as a result of war demands, and planes are in existence today which can handle heavy and bulky freight at comparatively low costs. An abundance of planes, to gether with an ample supply of trained manpower, means terial transportation at rates far below those of past years, when the war is concluded. Oregon's agriculture is in a position to profit substantially fit progressive steps ai'e talieri to secure fullest advantage from opportunities offered by new transportation methods. Hee in Douglas county, for instance, our prune industry has been deteriorating rapidly. The market for dried prunes is almost a thing of the past. Canned prunes find ready sale, but normally go into low-priced trade channels. . There is no finer fresh fruit in the world than an Italian, pt'tite or date prune fully ripened on the tree. But because ripe prunes spoil quickly, they must reach consumers" without delay or, otherwise, milst be preserved by drying or canning. By air express, prunes picked in Douglas county orchards could be placed in New York markets within 24 hours. Cities on the Atlantic seaboard and, iii fact; throughout all of the eastern states, doubtless would consume all of the Pacific coast's production of prunes if the fruit could be delivered in a fresh stale. It is quite probable that the cost of transport ing a pound of prunes by air express would not exceed the cost of drying or canning, when coupled with normal costs of transportation' to market. Sold at reiail in fresh condition the fruit unquestionably would comnVarid excellent prices. It is possible that the coming of air transportation will re vive Douglas county's prune industry, once our greatest j source of income. Here in the Umpqtia valley we grow the world's finest cantaloupe. Testa have shoVn its sugar content to be higher than in melons grown in any other locality. But contaloupes, to hi at their best, must be vine-ripened. This means that even under the most favorable refrigeration there cail be little elapsed time betwoen the plucking and the eat ing. Air transportation, if costs are right, would permit a large-scale melon industry in Douglas county. JVtahy more of our agricultural products are susceptible to ihcfenScd values and more certain markets through air express. Through aerial transportation we can build neV markets. There is never an over-production of agricultural products. Huge surpluses may accumulate in one part of the world but, at the same time, famine may exist elsewhere. Transporta tion in the past has limited markets. In the era made pos sible by aviation no market in the world will be too remote to be supplied by air. Equipment and manpower for air express will be avail able after the war to every community that provides the local accommodations required to permit normal and eco nomical operation. But those localities which fail to make provisions for adequate ports, loading and unloading facili ties, etc, will be bypassed. It is time now to begin thinking about the opportunities coming with the conclusion of the war and working on arrangements to secure greatest pos sible utilization of the advantages the new era will afford.

En route they china to the truck with one hand ami their headgear with the other. The new rodio amphitheater is unique in several ways. It is not enclosed by a fence but is almost completely surrounded by small trees and brush and is neatly con cealed from view as it nestles closely In lis evergreen surround ings. The only part of the operations to lie seen from the highway is Ihe chibhouse and Ihe large new barn, a small portion of the cor ral (once and chutes ami a cor ner of the large grandstand, which faces to the east With the afternoon sun lo the back of the I spectators. It Is a most desirable I setting and Ihe amphitheater is I arranged so that every part can! lie easily seen from either the grandstand or bleachers. THURSDAY, AUGUST 21, 1011 6:1.

Chamber of Commerce president, described Russia as a land where "civil lib erties are only a vague promise" and where, "if there is any relig ion, it is the worship of Stalin." But, he said in addressing a crowd of 500 construction execu tives, Russia also Is a nation of Indomitable courage. . As an example, he gave this vivid description of war-blasted Stalingrad: "Streets filled with rubble; oc casional walls standing like tomb stones of its great industries; vol canic bomb craters; slit trenches like the paths of worms through rotten wood; Stalingrad will rise again, phoenix-like, from its ash es, the landmark, of, the labor pains of a Russia reborn." Throughout his entire travels, however, Johnston said " I have rediscovered America. Never before did I realize the im portance of our freedom, our standard of living, our right of habeas corpus, our bill of rights." For the contractors, the Spo kane businessman predicted that the "eyes of the world are on the Pacific coast. In the next decade or two the west will receive tre mendous growth.
