In this ease, however, ' the .laps are undoubtedly are sin--: cere, as witness that they have ,' been evacuating civilians from ' the island to the Malayan main ; land and are preparing for attack. Well, they may be right. My information trom gooa sources - is that Admiral Mountbatten, commander-in-chief in tho South east Pat i lie, has been Renins a ' l.. ,.-liin ond mnleriel from ' .....1 I.. f,.i,-lt, u-oll eot fnr , major action. It s worm noting, ' too, that Mountbatten attended the 131k Three conference at Pots i dam vesteiday. Certainly it's a T position lor us to watch. ; Monsoon No Barrier , It is true that the monsoon sen : son, with its fierce winds and ' i 1 full hlnul nvror the Indian ocean, uui mis , wouldn't necessasily prevent an niior.itlnn .-Kvilnsl Sinennoro. since the lower Malay peninsula is out- side t he monsoon belt. As I see it, the British could make an am ' phlblous invasion of the narrow part of the peninsula, establish a ' base through which to funnel re : inforcements and supplies, and - then fight their way down to Singapore, which lies just off the j tip. RecaDture of Singapore would ' be one of the bio victories of the ' war, for it would permit the allies : to reopen the narrow strait of Malacca Detween tne ivtaiay pen insula and Sumatra. Through this strait, which Is a short-cut be- ; tween tho Indian ocean and tho South China sea. the British tast India fleet could pour for opera , tions against the China coast and ' Japan proper. Black Period Recalled It will be a great moment for ' John Bull when he starts his as sault to avenue the disaster which 'i the Japs inflicted on him at the bee Inn hie or VI. "lnvlncime ' Sineanore fell on February 15 at one of the blackest periods of the j World War for tho allies. The I Mikado's forces had assaulted Pearl Harbor on, December 7, Wake island fell on December , 23, Hongkong followed on Christ j mas day and the enemy had oc i cupied Manila on January 2. Hit ler already was counting his chickens and why not: Singapore was the most power ; fill naval base in all that part of the globe. It had taken fifteen years to build it, at a cost oi ju, 000,000, and it was one of the wonders of the world. It's 22 square miles of deep sea anchorage could accommodate the entire British fleet. It had a floating dock capable of handling a 4rCXK-ton battleship, a graving dock able to take care of tin- vast liner w.iei ii m.uv. hiiu kitii uir t,n'm-nu,ifl flinntc Tt -n o-il:irilod by huge coastal guns. , Kail is Heavy . Shock Nobody --barring the Japanese hail dreamed that this (ill)ialtar of the Orient could be captured or even harmed. Thus it was one of the greatest shocks of the wioli war when the Nipponese fought their way down through ' the sttvniing Jungle of the Malay peninsuhi and swarmed over onto 1 this 217-s-.ouaro miles with its ' jiopn'.-.uiin of some 000.000. iokvo p.'liews that a pieMnun : aw lo tii" nssauit against Malaya iwlll he r.ritish occupation of the , K. : islands, off the northwest : tip of Sumatra. That seems like 1 another Rood guess on their part. Keep an eye on It ! . By SUSAN Thursday night always man , niM's to confuse us: we begin to think aiiead ubout the shows com ing up over the weekend and , y&ualcy end up by forgetting to THE MILK CRISIS By Charles V. Stanton The threat of dairymen to cease handling milk in the Roseburg area, except in limited quantities for children, and to supply hospitals, is too serious to be passed lightly. The decision was not made on the spur of the moment, nor does it involve only the two distributing firms, for back; of it, is dissatisfaction of producers who are denied profits com mensurate with labor and expense involved in milk pro (. ction. ; Cessation of milk supply for any community would be a ra!; catastrophe, but apparently it will be avoided in the Jloseburg area only if OPA grants immediate relief by authorizing price advances. Interference with milk production and distribution has occasioned considerable difficulty since OPA first took over price control. An earlier state-wide battle, with producers and distributors aligned against OPA, resulted in minor price advances which were short of the figure set as the minimum for efficient operation. Because the new prices failed to permit profitable diary farming, major producers quit business and sold their herds. Distributors, instead of buying from a few producers, each milking a large number of cows, now are buying in driblets, chiefly from, one, two) or three-cow farms, scattered OPA, in the first place, granted the price demanded, the current emergency could have been avoided. In a letter directed to the OPA the two Roseburg dairy firms say : Due to the narrow margin of profit to the producer,, which makes It Impossible for them to hire help on the dairy, all the old producers, who have been supplying milk to this market, have discontinued operating their farms as dairies and have sold their cows. This makes it necessary for us to go out In new territory and get producers lined up. These new producers are located from 20 to 35 miles from this olty and the transportation costs are too muoh for the producer to absorb on the margin we have, even If It were permissible. During the past year we have had to Import as much as fifty per cent of our milk from Eugene, Grants Pass and Myrtle Point. This has been done at a loss to us. Due to the great Increase In population in this area, caused by. great activity in. the lumber Industry, the consumption of milk has Just about doubled In volume. Very few of the producers from whpm we are now getting milk could qualify If the sanitary laws were enforced and they are not Interested In spending the money to properly equlR their dairies at tho price they now reoelve for their milk. In fact, most of them are becoming disgusted and It is only their interest In helping the war effort that has kept them going this long. That the threat to discontinue service is not being made simply to force a better margin of profit is amply proven by the fact that three distributors, and all of the leading producers, have been forced out of business since the start of tho war, only two distributors being left in the field. It is obvious, we believe, that no wbjjjjj- BiicrificQ a bu;ine?s lie there' been any reasonable profit in continuing operation. But, becauhe OPA would not provide a ceiling under which the dairy business could be continued efficiently, there has been a tremondoua loss in production volume and a decided lowering of sanitary conditions, as attested by rapid in crease in cases of undulant fever Now we have reached another emergency. While milk prices have been held down, ducers have gone tip. The distributor must pay more for labor, fuel, bottles, bottle caps, transportation,, truck re pair and everything else that enters into the conduct o his business. Producers must pay materials. distributors offer as a solution, a proposal to pay pro ducers 9o instead of 85 cents to raise the cost to consumers quart, with fractional amounts and cream, in proportion. Under this formula producers would receive approximately 53 per cent of the increase while distributors would get 47 per cent. What solution will the OPA followed, the OPA will first try a run-around until re sponsibility is definitely pegged. Then it will quibble and aeiay, passtng-the-bucls, crymg about inflation, branding producers and distributors as and will do nothing until catastrophe impends. We hope that, for once, OPA will realise the seriousness of the oinergency and act with mention what's to be heard th' evening. So . . . this Is to remind you, that Music You Remember and Starlight Serenade fill the 6:15 and 6:30 spots, respectively, and Bulldog Drummond does his detecting at 8:00. This Is the night, too, that Rex Miller broad casts at Sl:15 and Wings Over tho Nation brings you good music at 0:30. Looking at Friday morning's program. There's Cliff Edwards (Oh for Lanny and Ginger back in that spot) at K:53 and Songs by Morton Downey at 0:15. We I like Morion Downey, but most I ot all we like David Ross; In fact I he is the reason we always listen to this particular show. As for the rest of the morning we try to get our work arranged so we can hear the Mentholatum Moun taineers. We've always been a hillbilly at heart and wo like the music they put out. Long, long ago we quit apologizing fur what most people consider our lack oi taste. If you like it, why he ashamed to admit it? So we Jtist go serenely on our way with nary a blush on our low brow. Here's an advance tip for Frldny eve ning: Joe Reiehman brings his music to Spotlight Bands. Be sure, to listen in.

Special Clinic at Sutheriin Calls , For Vaccination A special vaccination clinic at the Sutheriin hotel Friday, July 27, from 2 to 5 P. M., was an mtuiced by the Douglas County Public Health association,- fol lowing discovery of a case of smallpox in Sutheriin. The vic tim is a logger who became 111 Saturday, but was not seen by a physician until Monday. A num ber of Sutheriin residents, it was reported, have been unwittingly exposed to the disease. The clinic will be held at the first aid room in the hotel build ing, and all' residents of the Sutheriin area, not now protected by vaccination, are urged to be preseDt. A small fee will be charged to cover the cost ot vac cine. , "Smallpox is one of the most contagious, diseases," Dr. E. J. Wainscott, county health officer, says. "It may strike at people of all ages and is particularly fatal to young children. Medical science Jias long possessed a sure method "gainst smallpox. Wherever vac cination is the rule, smallpox is practically unknown. Prevention depends upon vaccination. But it is important to rememDer that one vaccination scar does not prove a person is permanently im mune. It is believed that a success ful vaccination protects an In dividual from fiv to seven years.
