LIVING WAR By Charles Residents of the northern engaged in an activity which knowledge and commendation. has been organized as a "Living War Memorial committee. Affiliation with the American Commission of Living War Memorials has been completed, affording access to many ideas and plans for expression of appreciation to men and women of the military service. ' Negotiations already are nearing completion for purchase of a tract of land adjoining site is centrally located near Drain'. The type of memorial has not been determined, but in keeping with the program of living memorials it will be something conducive to physical welfare through recreation, rather than marble columns, statues or captured cannon. A swimming pool, recreation field, tennis 'courts, ouTdoor fire place and other suggestions have been offered the committee. The plan finally adopted will be determined largely by the amount of money which can be raised. Funds for the project started With a very successful paper drive. A benefit show, "Music for Millions," is scheduled Tuesday, August 7, as the next money-raising event. Other activities will follow. Residents of Yoncalla, Elkton, Anlauf, Curtin, Sunnydalo, Smith River, Cold Springs and Drain make up the section at work on the living memorial project. Knowing the energy and enthusiasm the North Douglas community can place behind any deserving civic project, we are confident that success for their program is assured. The North Douglas community is well represented in the armed forces. Its young men and women have served their country well. Many wear decorations for exceptionally meritorious conduct. It is certain these veterans will be pleased that the memory of their sacrifice is to be per petually honored through facilities to promote the comfort, welfare, health and happiness of present and coming genera tions. , , An example has been set by the enterprising residents of Northern Douglas county. It is to be hoped their plan will' provide inspiration for other communities to adopt similar ideas to honor their heroes. News of reconversion of many factories to production of goods for civilian consumption, coupled with release of price controls on some so-called luxury items, is resulting in a decided trend among consumers to become "fussy," a Rose burg merchant reports. The buying public, he states, has been extremely tolerant of merchandise shortages, poorer service andi other conditions created by the war emergency, ijJdt-Xen tey read of certain types: of, goods released for munufacturO they expect such articles to appear imme diately upon store counters. People should understand, being manufactured now will trade for as long as six months or possibly more. Manu facturing, transportation and distribution processes require considerable time, while scarcity at the present time means that the retail trade will receive only a bare trickle of the new merchandise at first, with volume increasing as time goes on. i There is every prospect, however, that the shortage of merchandise in nearly all retail lines will continue for at least six months and may grow even more critical than at present, our merchant friend reports. It is believed, how ever, that an improvement will be felt by the first of the year. In the meantime merchants are hoping customers will maintuin the spirit of tolerance and cooperation so greatly appreciated during the war period to date. Manpower Lack on West Coast Laid To "Job-Jumpers" WASHINGTON, Aug 1 (AP) Inadequate control of "Job- Jumpers" physically disqualified tor military service was blamed yesterdny by a special House mili tary committee tor a serious manpower shortage on the Paci fic coast. "Unless something Is done Im mediately, or unless Japan sur renders forthwith, which we can not gamble upon, an early serious situation on the west coast will become more than critical," said the report of the three-man com mittee neaded Dy unairman Sparkman. Spurkmun told reporters the situation Is threatentng to "bot tleneck" the entire war effort. Other members of the com mittee, which concluded an inves tigation In San Francisco and Lui Angeles last week, are repres entatives Holifleld (D.-Caltf.) and Jonnson (K-Callf.). The committee urged that the Otllcc of War Mobilization and reconversion give "dun consider- atlon" to "means of inducing 4-F's and workers not subject to selective to selective service to remain on war Jobs. To accomplish this, the group suggested: - 1 -. "Strengthening the existing Job Jumper' program so that the same factors which have stabi lized the able-bodied men will be used to stabilize the t-Fs, and "assurance of a fair share of re conversion for the West coast, coupled with agreement by labor and management to permit war workers to sign up now for re conversion or existing non-essential work and gut appropriate seniority through remaining . at war Jobs until released." Until such a program can be come effective, the committee recommended that ' liberal . draft MEMORIAL V.

The the existing civic center in this merchant says, that goods not be available to the retail defedments for men in West coast war Jobs be continued and perhaps extended.

Giles, 50, serving 20 years for postofiice robbery in Salt Lake City. With a long record of crime, Including murder in Oregon, Giles made his escape plans care fully.
