' "Cars won't be coming off the assembly lines for months utter the war, while gasoline and rub ber plants will simply continue production," he said, explaining that the country's enrs have dwindled from 27 million to 20 million since the war. He said that rationing of cars and "all other necessities" will be needed long after the war ends. ,' Load Limits Restricted HlLLSBORO, Ore., Feb. 8.

Stanton iE cohihionly iieaf of fish being used for fertilizer, but it " is a rather hew idea that fertilizer be used for fish. An article In Reader's tiiyest, condensed from The Pro- greHsive, tells how ordinary commercial chemical fertilizer, the same tyjie you put on your lawns, has' greatly increased fish life in lakes and ponds. The fertilizer is spread upon the "water.". 'It immediately increases production of plank ton. Plankton is the name, given miseroscopic organisms, both vegetable and animal, in the water. The plant life in cludes diatoms, a form of algae, as well as the more fa miliar blue-grefn lilgae which may be observed when water is left warm aiid stagnant to promote growth of the colonies.. Algae is the vegetable organism which occa sionally. produces a somewhat unpleasant taste and smell to drinking water in warm suniitier months. Tho word plank ton also includes a Wide group of minute protozoans, of which a larger form is known by the more common name of jellyfish. Nearly all fish and aquatic animals from the minnow that has shed the egg sac, to a whale obtain the bulk of their food from plankton. In addition insects feed on plankton, fish feed on insects and insect larvae, while, in turn, ' carnivorous fish feed upon insects and minnows. Thus nature has set up a food cycle which, if left undis turbed, can provide an abundance of fish. As pointed out in Reader's Digest, man can aid nature by casting chemical fertilizer into lakes and ponds, increasing fish production just as he can improve the volume of his crops by fertilizing, the soil. Experiments detailed in the article also show that size of fish is determined by the amount of feed available. Fish given ample food will in crease in size much more rapidly than those lacking, abun dant food. . ' We call attention to the article in Reader's IJiyest because it relates directly to the theory we have advanced on several occasions that it is necessary for us to have large runs of hiigratory salmon in' the Umpqua river if we expect the Ptreaiti to reach its capacity of all species of fish, i. It obviously is impossible to spread sufficient chemical fertilizer 'in; a streain -of fast running water such as the tlmpqua. Hut nature provided for fertilization to produce plankton by decreeing that salmon shopld enter fresh water to spawn and die. Minnows, insects and crawfish feed upon the carcasses. From the decaying bodies the water washes put fertilizer elements to feed plankton. Insects and fish eat of the plankton and thus is created a cycle conducive to abundant fish life. But as a field can be worn out very quickly by continued cropping without fertilization, so a river can be destroyed ! when there is not sufficient fertilizer to support the all Important plankton. That is why the Umpqua river, if de prived of abundant runs of salmon, cannot support ANY species of fish life to the degree of which it is capable. A field without fertilization will continue to produce for p long period of time, but when it starts to wear out, it goes Vapidly. The same is true of a river, and here on the I'mp qua we have reached the point where we have seen in recent years an alarming decline in fish life. But permit the salmon to go to their spawning beds un molested, without commercial nets to threaten them with ex tinction, and nature will provide the cycle of fertilization heeded to increase all species of fish. All fish in the Umpqua river are believed to be of migra tory character. They may remain in fresh water for an undetermined period of time, then will go to the ocean. Salmon will return as adults to spawn and die. Steelheads and cutthroat trout may return year after year. Nature has arranged spawning seasons to prevent con flict and, at tho same time, maintain food cycles. Chinook salmon spawn in the Umpqua river from late August to early October. Sil vet-sides spawn in November and De cember. Cutthroat trout, also known as salmon trout, spawn in February. Steelheads and Kainbow trout spawn Lfeuf. McCall's Tour of Duty in Aleutians Noted Lieutenant W. A. McCall, U. S.. N. R., of Roseburg, is one of the fuel's who helped VPB-61, a navy search and patrol squadron, over come weather and Japs during a recently completed nine months' tour of duty in the stormy Aleu tians. He flew In Consolidated Cata lina (PIJY) Hying boals on search missions, convoy duty and in shore patrol. The squadron flew a total of (i,i50 nours, averaging more than -SOO hours a month in wealhrr oflen extremely hazard ous for flying. The squadron made three single-plane flights over the North ern Kuriles, which are located just north of Japan proper. Oth er special missions included the rescue of the pilot of an army P-40 who Aas forced down off Kanaga Island in the Aleutians. He was located l short time be fore he would have succumbed to the Intense cold. Two navy air crewmen ferried the army pilot In a rubber life raft through the rough water between the island and the rescue plane offshore. In the Day's Hews iContlnued from page 1) - veteran and proven COMMAND when CALLED UPON." There has been loose talk that Manila will be the end of the road for MacArthur that he may be retired or transferred and some body else put In charge. His state ment that "this veteran com mand" is ready when called upon could easily be interpreted as a bid for continued leadership. WHAT will the Japs do next? Reading the Jap mind Is too big a job for us home-front-ers, who know only what we are told, but dispatches of the past few days Indicate that they are fighting harder for ALL of east China and arc stiffening their re sistance in Burma. That suggests that they have kissed their island empire good bye and are retiring to the Asia tic continent. BY every sign, the German war Is approaching a crisis. The Russians arc lined up along the greater part of the east bunk of the Oder. At some places their artillerymen are firing ovr open siglus at the Germans dh the west hank. The Germans say the reds have crossed in at least three places east and southeast of Berlin. The Russians are silent on that point, but the Moscow radio in timates that big news may be coming soon. for some such sign of weakness to launch the big attack that he must be all ready and waiting for. .. . , . ; An all-out offensive in the west, while the Russians are pounding at Berlin's gates from the east, would certainly look like moving in for the final kill. OUR supreme headquarters in Paris discloses that German casualties on the west front since D-day add up to a total of 1,260,- 000. That's a lot of Germans put out of action. IN Canada (in what under the British system is called a by election) it looKs as if the antl conscriptionists have won a vic tory that may result in dissolu tion of the Canadian parliament and a new general election. What is happening in Canada (including vague stories of riots, mass desertions, etc.) is still a mystery to the general run of us on this side of the border. In our geenral lack of enllghtment, we set it down as having some thing to do with the French Canadian problem that always has been posed by Quebec. We'll be wise If we reserve judgment until we get a little more light on the subject. THERE are strong hints that the Russians are near Stettin, on (lie Baltic northeast of Ber but as to that Moscow is com pletely silent. A Russian thrust to Stettin would cut off the Ger man province of Pomerania, as East Prussia lias already been cut off, presumably trapping other large bodies ot German t roops. IN Detroit, Senator Arthur Van denburg tells a home-state audi ence that It is time for America to "sign up now with all her major allies to Join in a hard-and-fast treaty" to keep the peace after the war is won and says he will continue to urge such a policy. (He thinks fear of what Ameri ca will and WON'T do has been responsible fjlr British and Rus sian moves AWAY FROM the At lantic charter prniciples and to ward the old principles of power politics.) He adds: "ft is time for us to say what we will do. It is time for us to say what we will not do. It is time for us to START THE DOING." In evaluating this statement, remember that Vandenburg is a REPUBLICAN. The human body Includes 206 bones, held together and moved hV f.9R miisr-los. Churches Set Services For Boy Scouts, Cubs . "A Scout Is Reverent" twelfth point of the Boy Scout law will be the keynote of many church services in the Oregon Trail coun cil, Boy Scouts of America, Sun day, as ministers build sermons around the subject, "Scouts of the World- Brothers Together," theme of the 35th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. Boy Scout trqops and cub packs will take part In many of the services while other scouts and cubs will attend special church services. Among the churches which sponsor Boy Scout troops and cub packs in Douglas county are the First Christian church of Roseburg, Church of Christ, Myr tle Creek, First Presbyterian Church of Roseburg ana the First Baptist church of Roseburg. Labor Group Raps Urge For Price Rule Ending PORTLAND, Feb. 8. (AP) A state senate-passed memorial favoring abolition of price con trols and other war-emergency agencies at the war's end drew opposition today from OPA's Ore gon labop advisory committee. "We condemn it as detrimental to the welfare of the consuming public and workers in general," the committee declared.

Spawning periods may show some slight variation on other streams, but the dates are approximately the same on all coastal rivers. On the long streams such as the Columbia, Hoguo juul Umpqua, the main run of Chinook salmon comes into fresh water in the early spring and Silvcrsides in the fall, while on the short coastal streams the major part of the entire salmon run is in the fall. The Chinook and Silverside salmon runs become fertiliz er. There also is heavy mortality among sinkers, a scaven ger fish, in the summer months. It is these carcasses which promote growth of planklou and thereby provide the measure of a river's capacity to produce fish. I But for years the commercial fishing industry has been ! preying upon salmon runs, depriving our streams of for-, t:iizer and consequently destroying all species of fish. The industry is beginning to awaken to the destruction it has caused. It is learning that with a river, as with soil, . you can't continue forever to take out without putting back. I Lot other values are to be considered ami those include; .he question of whether the greatest public good can be ac complished through maintaining our streams at full ca . pacity for recreational purposes, with the millions of dollars in ivireational revenue that would thus bo produced, or ly maintaining partial capacity for the benelil of a private in- I ilustry, w hich, even now, is pleading for public subsidy to j correct tho results of its own folly. i llrnrflt nf Omaha, -rnllnn l.rnls, Jr..
