S. snouting planes can't find them. It could be. Also It could be PROPA GANDA. THE Jap radio concedes that 4, 900,000 Japanese were killed and 1,135,000 homes destroyed In the bombing of Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe and Yokohama. - It admits also that Jap rail roads are being so badly shot up that the military has had to take them over and run them. Germany taught us that de stroying transport Is fully as im portant as destroying war fac tories. Military supplies are of little value unless they can be got from where they are made to where they are needed. TOKYO'S best one Is advice to Jap householders that they can make'' "wonderful food" out of dried fish heads and withered leaves. Food of that sort may and doubtless will sustain life and produce a certain amount of energy, but it's hard to believe . I hat even a Jap could think It wonderful. MAC ARTHUR headquarters an nounces that the Philippines have been won back In the "great est disaster ever sustained by Jupanese arms." The announcement adds that 17 U. S. divisions whipped 23 Jap divisions (a U. S. division Is roughly 15,000 men while a Jap division Is roughly 20,000) In "one of the rare instances when a ground force superior In numbers was entirely destroyed by a numerically Inferior opponent (who had to get his reinforce ments and supplies from CLEAR ACROSS THE PACIFIC whereas the Jnp could run his down over SHORT communication lines). The announcement concludes that the 115,600 square miles of the Philippines (Oregon's area about 96,000 square miles) will be transformed into bases compara ble with the British Islands In the German war. IN the Philippines campaign about 420,000 Japs were KILLED. We lost 11,921 killed, 410 missing and 42,569 wounded. It Is estimated that about 30,000 Japs are left alive in the Philip pine archipcllago. THE Australians have taken Baliknapan town and have widened their beachhead to about eight miles. American landing craft, loaded with engineers and their equipment, move in through the sllll mlne-lnfested waters of the bay and land at Jap-built pontoon wharves to begin the work of reconstruction that In war follows directly after the work of destruction. The Japs soem to be moving buck Into the oil fields that sur round Balikpapari, intent on do ing all the damage they can be fore being liquidated. THE British -election was held Thursday, but we won't know the results until July 26, when the soldier votes will he nil In and counted. The British have been spreading ballots all over the world by air and will return Uiem by air. If the conservatives (led by Churchill) win, Britain will go on . more or less as Is. The Labor party announces that if it wins It will start with nationalization DO YOU WANT EFFICIENCY? By Charle V. Stanton Do you, if you are a resident of Roseburg, want continued elliciency in' our school system? Of course you do. But (to you desire that efficiency enough to trouble yourself to go to the Junior High school building Monday afternoon, July 9, 2 to 7 o'clock, and mark a ballot? Very few people only' 52, in fact were sufficiently concerned to go to the polls to vote consolidation with Eden bower. Less than 20 per cent went to their respective polling places Juno 22 to vote on such an important matter as setting up a ?10 million postwar reserve fund for needed buildings and facilities at state institutions. It is quite possible that unless we have more than 20 per cent of Koseburg voters at next Monday's election, our school Bystem may be hopelessly crippled. Any issue which involves more taxes automatically receives some negative voles. There are people who have no inter est in our corporate organizations, the efficiency of our school, municipal, county or state government; people who have no concern for progress, development or improve ment, 'i'hey are interested only in saving money and would starve our public institutions to save themselves a few dollars in taxes. Thus, we may be sure there will be negative votes. We do not anticipate a great many such votes, as our popula tion, for the most part, is interested in progress and, par ticularly, in maintaining high standards of education. Hut those people who vote "Is'o" on the proposal to in crease the school budget over the six per cent limitation will be out in force. If proponents of good education fail to bestir themselves, and treat the local measure with the same indifference shown in the elections last month one local and one state-wide there is serious danger that the proposal will fail of passage and our school system be de moralized. Temporary Increases in taxes go hand in hand with pro gress. An influx of new population adds to the cost of municipal government, schools and public services. Due to the operation of the six per cent limitation law, our tax base cannot advance as rapidly as corporate expenses. Con sequently we must, if we propose to provide services in keeping with our community pride and our regard for good government and efficient schools, assume an additional tax burden. Our school officials have made careful estimate of antici pated enrollment for the coming year. ThiH figure of more than 2,000 pupils is an increase of-17 per cent over last year. Compared with the school year of 1942-43, the in crease would be approximately 33 per cent. Obviously we cannot expect to operate our schools on a decent level- with out upping the budget by a very considerable amount. More tlmn $10,000 of the increase over last year's, budget will-bo required to meet the cost of 15 more teachers than considered in any previous budget Last year we added lour more teachers than the budget called for, due to a 10 per cent enrollment increase. Next year, with an esti mate of 2,042 students, as compared with 1,595 in 1943-44, an increase of 457 in enrollment, we will need ll teachers in addition to the four added last year, or 15 in all since the 1943-44 budget. Thi9 averages out to about 30 pupils per teacher, which any one will admit, we believe, is getting around the danger point for efficiency in instruction. The problem simmers down to this: Do we want effic ient schools? If we do, then we must turn out in large numbers at the special school election from 2 to 7 p. m. Monday, July 5) that's next Monday and authorize the board of school directors to levy a tax in excess of the 6 por cent limitation and in keeping with the budget prev iously published. If we have as few voters as turned out in the two special elections hold recently, there is great danger that our schools for the coming year will be very sketchy indeed. of four basic Industries (rail roads, mines, etc.) and aims eventually at establishment of a "socialistic commonwealth of Great Britain.' CHAIRMAN KRUG of VVPB an nounces that during the past year the entire warring WORLD both axis and allied turned out an estimated 110 billion dol lards worth of war goods of which the United States provided 45 PER CENT and at the same time stayed by far the best-led, best-housed and best-clothed civil ians In the world. That's what the American sys tem of free enterprise does for ALL of us. P RESIDENT TRUMAN, acting under his war powers, seizes the strike-bound Goodyear plants at Akron and orders the navy to move In and take over. Permit ting such a thing to happen with Japan still umvhlppcd doesn't look like good labor strategy, as the great plants were making tires for warplunes and without tires no warplanes can get Into the air. TOLL of Fourth of July deaths on the home front was only 138 as compared with 439 In 1944 and 298 In 1943. It sounds beter than It really Is, as the 1045 holi day was only one day, whereas In 1944 and 1943 there were three days. Fall Kills Wire Chief NEWBERG, Ore., Julv 7. -t AP) Chester L.

ROSEBURS, D1AL-LOQ By Susan We meant to mention It last night, but we got so Involved with coining program changes there wasn't room, but .. did you hear Fulton Lewis, Jr.. in his broadcast on the Fourth of July? Personally, we aren't what you'd call a Fulton Lewis fan, but we always look forward to his Christmas and Independence Dav broadcasts and this year, perhaps more man any or the others, we enjoyed the repeat of his annual broadcast. He makes history come alive makes you pause and realize that the day to day news oroaticasts we are hearing are making history comparable to the historic day Mr. Lewis descrilirs so vividly on his Fourth of July broadeasts.
