' It we and the British are to stick together and work together, our peoples must KNOW each other. But you can't know ' WHOLE PEOPLES, in the ab stract. You have to know PER SONS. These boys of the 8th Air Force know real English persons. These people of Cambridge and its nearby area know real Ameri can persons. Among these friends there will be a lot of letter writ inn; -and a not Inconsiderable amount of visiting back and forth in the years to come. Here, if anywhere in the world, the foundations of real and lasting international good will and understanding have been laid. THERE is a colorful program In the' old Market Square be fore the Guildhall, with USAAF and RAF mass bands. The mayor of Cambridge, in his official robes, presents a resolution con ferring the honorary freedom of the city on the 8th and all Its members. The resolution is con tained in a casket made of oak from ancient Cambridge build ings. General Kepner, command ing officer of the Bin, accepts It and presents a shield to be dis played in the Guildhall now and forever hence forth. In his speech of acceptance, he makes a solemn and touching point when he says: "We are leaving you, our friends here, to go where duly calls us, but tin dcr the nearly 8000 while crosses In the nearby cemetery we arc leaving behind us something that will be forever ours, forever yours. Through all the years to come, this will be a bond between us a bond that nothing can ever break." T HERE are tears In many Eng Many a Cambridge (and nearby) home has been saddened by what was taken from tiie bombers re turning from Germany and laid to rest under the little white crosses for buried here are only those whose bodies came back when the battered planes came back or who died afterward from their wounds. Many nnother Cambridge home was saddened by what FAILED to come back. These boys of ours were taken Into English homes and Into English hearts. You can't fail to know that everlastingly when you hear them tell of the terrible hours of "sweating 11 out while waiting for the bombers, AMERICAN bombers, carrying American boys, to come back And of the grief for those that never came back. WIK eemeterv. with its rows I on rows of simple white crosses, is placed on a gentle slope, looking out over a peace ful, pleasant, green English land seaie. There are hedges. There are lovely old homes. There is peace and quiet. There Is solidity, now and for the future. There is everything our boys, both Ameri can and British fought for. Back of the field of crosses, with Its carefully kept turf that covers lovingly and respectfully the precious remnants that lie beneath, Is a screen of trees, like the shrubbery that edges a beau' tiful trardon. There are care- LET REEDSPORT STRUT By Charles V. Stanton Bands are playing and crowds are cheering as clouds of dust are kicked up by bucking broncos and steers at the Reedsport rodeo grounds today. Other clouds of dust Sun day morning will mark the paths of more crowds pouring into that western Douglas county city, as people, tied down by employment Saturday, speed to Sunday's show. Reedsport has outshone every other Douglas county com munity in its spirit of progress. Undeterred by handicaps of the war emergency, it has developed plans for a badly needed hospital. It is working on a project for additional school facilities. It enlarged its fire department and in stalled facilities for combatting blazes along the water front. It made improvements to its water system. It carried on an extensive street improvement program. It is hard at work on plans for developing better port facilities and is taking the lead in efforts to secure improved overland transportation routes from the interior portion of the county. Anyone who doubts that Reedsport is a wide-awake, pro gressive and enthusiastic community needs only to visit in that area for a few hours or talk to one of its citizens for ten minutes, no matter where he may be. You'll find any conversation quickly turned to the subject of Reeds port, for the people of the lower Umpqua are very proud and rightfully so of their community. They're putting plenty of pep into their work for development. The history of the Reedsport rodeo is a fair example. While other communities canceled out annual events, or postponed plans for shows, fairs, celebrations, etc., the Reedsport division of the Douglas County Sheriff's l'osse decided the lower Umpqua district should have a rodeo. No more unfavorable time could have been picked, consider ing the shortage of manpower, lack of materials, gasoline rationing and the state of the posse's finances. But despite all of these handicaps, and obstacles, the posse, having only $100 in cash, wont to work. Mills donated lumber. Reedsport citizens turned out and built fences, corrals, chutes, bleachers and other equipment. Grounds were leveled, a picnic spot was cleared and fur nished. Men, and women, too, worked early and late. A year ago Reedsport held its first rodeo. I'eople in neigh boring communities saved gasoline tickets, pooled transpor tation resources, and went to the show. There was a big crowd and everyone had r good time. Receipts were suffic ient to pay off all debts and leave a small sum for further improvements. This year, with no more gasoline rationing to restrict attendance, the Reedsport show was a sell-out before the opening parade. Sunday will find every facility crowded to capacity, but lieedsport, undaunted by the change in prospects, coming only a few days before the rodeo began, has made full preparations to handle a crowd far larger than was anticipated before gasoline rationing was lifted. There was a time, not too many months ago, when Reeds port had a serious inferiority itself. It cried that it was not getting enough attention from the county seat. Whenever it had a problem, it wanted Roseburg or the county court to provide the solution. It carried a chip on its shoulder constantly. But thai day has gone forever. Reedsport is now out in front and, it's our prediction, it will keep that way for a long time, unless some of our other communities, Roseburg included, can show a similar injection of new life and spirit. Reedsport still has a chip on its shoulder, but it is a chip of pride. Knock it off and you've got a fight. Reedsport has shown it can fight its own battles without help. It's an aggressive, cocky community that has a right to strut. takers' buildings, with a winding drive, and a simple little chapel. As one gazes, reverently, a wagon drives up. It Is a florist's wagon. It Is LOADED with flowers some of them, freighted with love and grief and, since it is all sllll so recent, so tin softened by lime's healing touch, with heartbreak and anguish, from bereaved American homes; but many, very, very many, from English homes here in this city of Cambridge and its surround ing area, where grief for those who He hero is genuine and heartfelt and personal. No, nothing can ever break this bond of which General Kep ner spoke so feelingly back there on the balcony of the old Guild hall. Scout Heads Back Community Chest The Douelas District Bov Seoul committee, at a regular meeting held Thursday at the Roseburg Chamber of Commerce offices, approved a proposed Community chest formation, according to Dis trict Chairman Bruce Elliott. The resolution as adopted: "Wo. the Hosebuig section of the Douglas Bov Scout district, recognize that the success of the Roseburg Com munity chest depends entirely on the full cooperation and support of all agencies who may partici pate and on the full support of labor, business and industry of Roseburg, do hereby offer our full support and cooperation to the end that one united finance effort will not only conserve time but can In-st meet the needs of the community." Organization of the 1!)45 Boy Seoul drive for funds for 1915 op eration was just getting under way when Community chest plans wer deovloped. In the Interest of one united drive, the Bov Scoun are relating and coordinating complex. It felt sorry for their plans with the chest and through their Scout executive of fer assistance and guidance in setting up a nermanent chest program for Roseburg, Elliott said. Virus-Free Cherry Trees Marked for Use of Nurseries Another step In the program to provide nursery stock to fruit glowers free from sap-carried diseases has ben taken with the selection and labeling 1 1 1 cherry trees approved for scion and bud wood. 'I he trees have been in spected and kept under observa tion by plant pathologists at Ore gon State college who have passed I hem as free from serious virus diseases. This is part of a cooperative program announced about a year ago and participated In by com mercial nurserymen, the state department of agriculture and the state college. First attention Is being given to stone fruits, in cluding peaches, apricots, prunes and plums in uiTdltion to cherries. All peach stock In western Oregon, so far as now known, is free from virus diseases except for nench wan, reports Dr. S. M. Zeller, experiment station pathol ogist. Peach lives are inspected to see that none showing any of this disease are used for bud wood. Each tree passed by inspectors under this project is permanently marked with a tire code and reg istered. This indicates that it Is not only free of disease hut Is Hue to the variety name. No Chivalry! SKDALIA. Mo..

Stormy Life Told By Harry Bridges In Divorce Suit SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23 'AP) Harry Bridges, testifying in superior court here in his con tested divorce hearing, said his marital life was featured hv flv- ing butcher knives, flatirons and other kitchen utensils. They had lived together, he lesiuieu, since 1923 under an Oregon common law marriage and 11 years ago were remar ried in a California church cere mony. They separated In 1942. Bridges filed suit for divorce last year. Mrs. Bridges entered a cross complaint on Dec. 30. 1944, asking $450 a month ali mony and charging that her hus- Dana is tne iatner 01 a child born in 1943 to Nancy Feinstein, New York night club dancer.
