WE get only sketchy, outlines of the Buttle ot Aramgeddon, for again, as in France,, we, are moving so swiftly and decisively that we can't afford to tell the Germans, whose planes have al most vanished frpm the ; skies, what we are doing. OUR eyes are naturally Axed on northern Germany and t the road to, Berlin, but, we, mustn't forget Patton-and his spectacular 3rd, army. ' ' , Patton and his redoubtable 3rd are shrouded in almost complete mystery by our side, but the Ger mans report that he is approach ing WURTZBURG. Wurtzburg lies at the. Junction of the two MAIN railroads that lead south eastward to Munich and Vienna. Munich is the northern and Vlen; na the eastern entrance to the rough mountain area where the jiazis are supposedly planning to hole up lor a desperate, maybe years-long (they hope), stand un til such a time as we and the Uritlsh and the Russians get. to fighting with each other over tfie polls of war and. so give them a thance to COME BACK. It's a wild and crazy idea, of course, but these naJs are wild nnd crazy-so much so that any ' thing might be expected of them. BEYOND Vienna, In northwest ern -Hungary, the Russians Jiave exploded '"to a violent of fensive up the Danube that has carried them to within 20 miles nf the Austrian border and only ti9 miles from Vienna Itself. Tills Russian drive- appears to have jiower behind it. , , IF it can carry on through Vienna and thence on up the Danube to a Junction with Pat; Ion, Germany will be cut Into three slices which we will be able 1o deal with more or less at our leisure. In order to make a junc tion with Patton (if he keeps on going) the Russians will not have ; to TAKE .Vienna. .They can by pass; It, as they have by passed so many other German strong holds, for they have a second army .moving toward the valley of the Danube .through, Slovakia and a. THIRD, Bloving down from the north througli Chechoslovakia. Quite significantly, patch's 7th army has flowed over the Rhine SOUTH ot Patton and Is moving forward on his ' right flunk through, a dense cloud of offical secrecy. THERE were wild rumors of a German surrender. Eisenhower tells us from Paris that he believes there will .be no negotiated unconditional surrend er, but rather an IMPOSED un conditional surrender when the allies In the west link up with the Russians In the east. That sounds more probable -although, of course, anything might happen. T" iic Japs continue to Insist that we are landing in the Ryu kyus, on Okinawa, I he largest and most Impoitant of these Islands. We remain silent, but a communi que from Nimitz says we have licen shelling Okinawa with biilth'ships. . There is probably something to the story. The Ryukyus are ob viously our next step. If not now, we must invade them later. The Japs also Insist that we're landing on Cebu, the last of the big Philippine islands. , , . MAC ARTHUR adds .15,000 to the number of counted Jap dead In the Philippines, bringing the total estimated enemy casual- A. C. MARSTERS By Charlei V. Stanton . Historians referring to early-day pioneers have used the phrase, "Builders of the West," so frequently that it. has become trite, but we believe no description mpre aptly, si .its the life and activities of one of Roseburg's First Citizens, Alva Marsters, who has been called by death. - Alva Marsters was born with a spirit of discontent in his blood. His disquietude stemmed from broad vision, intense patriotism, love of nature and humanity, and con suming pride in his community and state. His burning ambition for public improvement was never quenched. At an age when most' men would feel they had earned the right to rest from successful labor, Alva Marsters, though suf fering the frailities, of advancing age, never ceased aggres sive leadership. While his dimming eyes found difficulty in scanning the printed page, his'yision of a better town, a better county, and a better state and nation never lost sharp definition. ' . . , Alva Marsters piled, success upon success; but achieve ment of one goal gave him no excuse for rest, for constantly stretched before him were other objectives which must be attained. And, so,, until encroaching death forced cessation of his lubors, he fought on, earnestly, vigorously to make the world a better place in which to live. . More years ago than we like to recall, we sang with a high school male quartette. Alva Marsters, who was in the midst of a fight to convince the state of Oregon it should have a paved Pacific highway, conceived the idea that our quartette, would help him in his campaign. Night-after-night over muddy roads, we rode with Alva Marsters to community meetings in all parts of Douglas county where his impassioned oratory, his convincing logic and his pleas for community betterment brought voters, often initially hostile, into the ranks of good roads enthusiasts and won for the, state of Oregon its first major highway program as well' as creation of county road program which, for its day, was of staggering magnitude. . j More than' a half-century ago, Alva Marsters began urg ing construction of a road up the North Umpqua, connect ing, with Eastern Oregon. Today that road is in existence and, most appropriately, he has been a member of the board of trustees' which controlled county financial participation. A beautiful bridge which spans the North Umpqua river at Caps Hlahee bears his name a most worthy monument to his sponsorship. .. For approximately 15 years, Alva Marsters headed the Oregon state fair board. Under his leadership the annual state fair grew into an event attracting national attention, while ; proving of utmost importance to the agricultural industry. , , '.. . , . , In business life Alvii Marsters was a banker. From the standpoint-of men. who make and enforce banking rules and regulations,. Alva Marsters a' merchant, it farmer or a common laborer needed a loanj '. V, , ... , ., - . .1 and F-t-tn Marsters opinion, ho was the type of character; who was; a good risk," he secured financial help. Perhaps he had no security, maybe his standing did not, according to'. bunking rules, justify a loan. We know of times when Alva Marsters made bank loans oh a verbal agreement with out even the formality of a promissory note. He was not alpiya popular with bank examiners, but ho made a success of his banking business ; and and many individuals in Roseburg and throughout Douglas county are successful today because Alva Marsters carried them over the rough spots when, without his aid, bankruptcy would have, been enforced. Alva Marsters did his banking on character rather than financial security. His interests were in, building a community, not alone in accumulating wealth for himself.. His contributions to civic welfare are tori numerous for complete enumeration. He lived a robust life. He was ever tin aggressive fighter for those things he believed to be right, impelled by n restless energy, intolerant of procrastination and lack of vision. In all things he was li builder.
