About 3 in the afternoon (guessed at by the Greenwich clock, plus a computation based on the clock and the chart) the steward comes In with a tray comfortably loaded with the bot tics. Liquor Is all you can spend money for on these planes; everything else is covered by your ticket. Sales are facilitated by two factors boredom and the fact that U. S. money is still usable. For some reason that no one has yet fully explained, the money of a country you're leaving be hind becomes dirt under the feet. What small sums of it you have left by inadvertence, you scatter like chaff. THE cocktail hour ends, and the tea hour begins. After tea, there is maybe an hour to kill. Then dinner, which Is a pleasant and excellent meal of half a lozen courses, strung out slowly lo pass the time. Then another period of reading, broken by sessions with the chart. The chart is divided into 100-mile sections and from time to time position is indicated by 'moving a pin. Cruising time is about 170 miles an hour. Outside tem perature is 46. degrees, but in side all Is warm and comfort able. At bedtime we're in mid Atlantic. HOURS later. The plane swoops sharply. You awaken, wondering if you've hit an air pocket, or what. You -pull back the curtain and look tut. of the window. There's water below and land in the background. The plane settles to the surface, taxis for a moment, then the motors roar and up we go. You learn later that it's Foynes, oh the west coast of Irclund, and although there are no passengers to discharge and no petrol (we left gas behind long ago) to take on, some quirk of officialdom re quires a landing. The weather Is friendly, and the fog breaks. Under us is Ire. land. (When you 8ek to the Irish, of whom you meet many. you say F.irp, pronouncing It "Ayre.".' It Is GUEEN, unbo. lievobly green. Emerald Isle is no mere figure of speech. From the air, all cultivated land is a patchwork quilt. Here the patches are liny, each sepa. rated from the others by hedges or stone walls. Here and there are vllluges, wtlh now and then a large farmhouse, surrounded by collages. It is early not yet sunup maybe 4:30 A. M., you guess, (all time at sea is guesswork so far as passengers are concerned. There are no definite time zones, as on land.) But the sight beneath is too fascinating to miss. You scramble into your clothes, head fo- the dressing room and find that everybody has had the same idea at the same moment. AUT over the Irish sea V speckled with ships and here and there an island all brll llnntly green. Then England a gently rolling England, green, but not quite as green as Ireland. But lovely Indescribably lovely, with an odd air of PEACE. There are airfields, sometimes as many as three or four In sight at once, and training camps, but you know that the buzz-bombs are dead and the German planes grounded. Even from a mile up, you sense the ABSENCE of the tenseness of fear that gripped this Island for nearly six long HARVEST LABOR NEEDED By Cherts V. Stenfoa Student labor will'be imperative if Douglas county's cur. rent prune crop, roughly valued at ?1,500,000, is to be saved, 3. Roland Parker, county pointing out the desirability schedules which will permit fall crops. He estimates, incidentally, that payrolls con nected with the county's prune than $250,000. Prospects are for the largest Douglas county prune crop in many years. Indications excess of 12 million pounds, ably will be sold in the green be dried. Growers are greatly concerned about labor for the harvest season. Only a limited numbor of Mexican workers will bo available and no prisoners placed almost entirely upon states, and this means very largely students from high schools and upper grades. Many rural schools do not plan to start their fall term until after the prune harvest, but delayed opening offers mnny probloms to larger schools, which ordinarily begin during the first two weeks of September. One handicap to planning lies in the fact that the date for starting prune harvest be ready for picking until late in September, in which case several weeks of school might be lost unnecessarily. Consideration is being given a plan by which schools would begin on dates originally planned. Students willing to work in the prune harvest would be organized into platoons. A certain number of platoons would be used in the orchards for a definite period of time and then would bo replaced by the second group. Thus, roughly one-half of the volunteers would be kept in school at all times and, at the close of the fruit harvest, all would have reached the same point of advancement in their courses. Students in junior and senior high schools would be affected. Rural school students who live nearer the orchards and children from as well. Plans are being formulated future between school district labor committee to work out a In addition to student labor, the help of many adults. A farm labor office has been established in Roseburg, under the direction of Paul at Oak and Rose streets in the lot. Farmers are requested to register their labor needs ' at this office, While persons willing to work on farms atd in orchards during the fall harvest season, even though only for a few days, are requested to enroll their services to aid in saving the county's crops. There is every reason to believe Douglas county's agricul- J tural industry will realize one providing the labor problem is There has been an abundant yields are being realized, despite some damage from "hot weather. Poultry production is a record wool crop. Lambs to date, due to OPA's dalliance, be realized if controls are eased. The county has a record number of turkeys for fall and winter market. Beans arc looking exceptionally fine. All average. Altogether, it looks like a good year for our farm ers, although profits will be materially restricted because of labor costs. Our Douglas county farmers, unable to hire sufficient help, are working harder than ever before. Tliey are putting in hours from daylight to dark, and beyond, striving to save as much ns possible of nbundant crops. They ure-entitled to the utmost cooperation in meeting the problem raised by fall harvest labor needs. Roseburg Soldier Wins Silver Star WITH THE FIFTH ARMY, Italy Private First Class Ruy mnnd L.

Angel Child Found to Have Such "Taking" Ways KNNS, Austria, July 30 (AP) A flaxen-haired, blue-eyed Aus trian hoy had such a bewitching way about him that American GI's couldn't resist the tempta tion to bounce him on their knees. But one husky American truck driver, after plaving with the nine-yoar-old child for awhile, discovered his pen, pencil and watch were gone. Military police picked up the boy, and a search ol his pockets uncovered eleht other pens, six pencils, two watches, three billfolds and a hoard of other loot lifted Jrom the unsuspecting Americans.

Auto Painting Body and Fender Repairing Call 80 for Appointment Lockwood Motors Kafonen Emerges Tops In Tourney For Title Chance Paavo Katonen, the durable Finn, who lost his Pacific coast light heavyweight wrestling crown to Jack Klser several months ago, will have an oppor tunity to regain the crown, hav ing won the right to meet the present title holder In a champ ionship match, through rough victories Saturday night in elim ination matches at the Roseburg armory. Katonen beat Tex Hager In the first of the tournament mat ches, taking one fall In the 30 minute engagement. Walter Sjneezc Achiu, the rubberball Chinese wrestler, beat Buck Davidson, but was twice a victim of Katonen's deadly hangman's noia in tne nnai matcn. Hager and Katonen gave the crowd an exciting 30 minutes In the opener, the Finn taking the first fall in 18 minutes and 30 seconds on a series of headlocks and body slams. Neither wrest ler could gain a fall in the re maining period of time. Aohiu Wins Rough Bout The roughness of the Achlu- Davldson match had the crowd in an uproar and one of the female fans had to be subdued by the police after attacking Davidson with the heel of her shoe while the "Meanie" was trylne to crawl off the mat. DavMson took the first fall in 17 minutes with a Boston crab hold but succumbed in 11 and one-half minutes to a series of arm locks and a body press to drop the second round. Achlu was given tne decision by Keferee Owens at -the end of the time limit. Hangman Hold Wins Battling for the right to meet Kiser for the title, Katonen and Achiu staged a real thriller in the final 30-mlnute period. The Finn absorbed terrific punish ment during the first ten minutes but took advantage of a mom entary lapse by Achiu to seize his favorite Hangman's hold. Apparently angered by the Finns roughness, Achiu opened the second round with a series of body butts, coupled with a few haymakers to the jaw, flopping Katonen in exactly one minute. Katonen went on the defensive in the early part of the third round, blocking the renewed but ting attock of his veteran Chinese opponent and finished the match after seven minutes with a series of body slams culminating again in his Hangman's hold, applied with sufficient force to leave. Achiu almost unconscious in the ring. Rainiers Tops in " Series, but Beavers Keep 6-Game Lead By PAUL WELLS Associated Press Sports Writer .
