The four leaders, representing the United Veterans of the Spanish-American War, Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the American f.cgion, all pointed out in the im promptu survey that their opin ions were their own and did not necessarily reflect the opinion of their groups. Harrison R. Winston, com mander of Patrick Kellv Post, No. 24tl8, of the V. F. W., pro posed the elimination of Armi stice Day and Victory davs In fa vor of a single day to be titled "Freedom Day." to mark the end ing of all wars engaged In the cause of freedom by the United States. Would Delete 'Victory' "Such a designation," he said, "would tend to promote better in ternational feeling than our cele brating victories over defeated enemies. I believe we should eliminate the word victory alto gether in the observances, and combine them into one single day of observance, preferablv in Au gust on the present V-J Day dale, doing away with the coin ciding of so many holidays." Also supporting Winston's statement concerning the August date for consolidation was C. E. , Hoover, commander of David Perrine Post, No. 19, of the D. A. V. He said that he had spoken to numerous veterans on the sub ject. It is his opinion that "a single day of celebration should be urged before Congress" In the - - n EARL WILEY REALTOR Hotel Rot Bldg. Phono 726-R D D II IT'S SOLD When You List With VALLEY REAL ESTATE AGENCY Lobby Hotel Grand form of resolutions, for a na tional holiday for all veterans to lie held in the month of August. This Is ordinarily a vacation month, and he added that it would tend to bring a greater ob servance of the day throughout the nation. 'Too Many Holidays' 'There are entirely too many holidays," declared Sam W. Starmer. commander of George Starmer Camp, No. 19, of the Spanish-American veterans. "A good day for consolidation would be November 11, which has be come a set date in the minds of eoole throughout the country-" Starmer added that the proposal for consolidation should originate from the veterans' groups them selves and be presented at their annual national conventions. The present Armistice Day date was also favored as the most logical for a consolidation by Eu gene A. Soringer, commander of L'mpqua Post, No. 16, of the American Legion. "One day of remembrance for all wars seems to me the most logical," he said. "Selecting Ar mistice Day, November 11, would probably have approval among the veterans of the nation and would hold greater significance over the other two victory days in that it has longer been establish ed as a day of observance and celebration. I am not, however, in favor of selecting a neutral day for the consolidation." Housing Shortage Affects Teachers The Roseburg school board may be forced to go into the real estate business soon, Paul S. Elliott, city superintendent of schools, said Tuesday, and unless the housing shortage lets up soon, students may be without teachers. One teacher short at present, Elliott reports his latest faculty housing problem concerns a teacher who made temporary resilience in a one-room apart ment in September until some thing more permanent and suit able could be found. Her search, Elliott reported, has proven futile and she is now being forced to vacate, which means her resignation as a local faculty member in favor of com munity with suitable housing. "Teachers' present salaries are so low that they are unable to purchase homes of their own. They can't be expected, even though a few have, to go against the old econmical principle that you can't afford to buy a house priced- twice above your annual income. Elliott also said that he may have to house his new school cus todian and wife in one of the school rooms unless drastic changes are made in the near future in the Roseburg housing situation.

Here Are the Facts! r There I a world-wide shortage of animal fats and of f vegetable oils. This shortage affects all of us. For Instance, this year soapmakers have boen able to obtain only one fifth of the Imported oils thev used in 1941 far Ion domestic fats, too. Because of the world-wide shortage, manufacturers are 'f unable to get the amount of fats and oils they need to make not only soaps, but also paints, textiles, tires, leather goods, floor coverings, electrical appliances, etc. 1 In the face of these conditions, American soap r.ianufac ) f turers have done their utmost. They have turned all the fats and oils they have been able to obtain into soap just as quickly as possible. i But for the help of American housewives, the shortage of t soap would have been far more serious, last year, more than one out of every nine packages of soap sold was made from used fats saved in America's kitchens. Don'f blame your grocer. He is doing his best, like the soapmakers, to got more soap for you. Won't you do your best by saving and turning In every drop of used fats. YOU CAN HELP!... SAVE USED FATS!
