Pargeter, chairman of the county Security Loan ' Drive committee, reports that the assigned quota has been far exceeded and that the county undoubtedly will finish well toward the top of the list both In percentage of quota and percentage of per capita sales. With an assigned quota of $390,000, sales to individuals 'amounted to $273,000. Sales to institutions, local govern mental agencies, etc., amounted to $184,000, for a total of $457,000. Two banks have not yet filed their reports, which will add another $100,000 to the total. Oregon made a late start in the Security Loan Drive, due to the primary election campaigns, floods and illness of leaders. When the drive finally got underway, the state quickly climbed up the percentage ladder, but is expected to finish considerably below the first place position which it held consistently during the war period. Douglas County, starting In 27th spot among the state's ; 86 counties, is expected to finish near the top, due to the intensive efforts of Chairman Pargeter and his able corps ' of assistants. At the time of the July 15 report, Douglas County had i reached 14th place with a rating of .70 per cent of quota sales to individuals. This position will be materially im ' proved in the final accounting. The standing does not in , elude any of the sales of F and G bonds, but concerns only E bond sales. Leading counties in the state, on the same basis of calcu lation, were Gilliam, 131 per cent; Curry, 110 per cent, and . Columbia, 100 per cent. When a final accounting is reached, expected before the close of the month, Douglas County in combined sales, it is believed, will be very near the top of the list We can "point with pride" to our sustained record of bond sales, having been one of the top counties throughout the entire war period. It is a great source of satisfaction to those persons who have held the leadership in past bond cam paigns to keep the county in a prominent snot in any state wide competition. The achievement in the Security Loan Drive is one of which we may all well be proud. Congratu lations and expressions of appreciation are due the many men and women who gave so much of their time and effort in the intensive campaign of the past few weeks. . Because the state drive has been completed, however, is no reason why those who can afford to buy savings bonds 1 should stop. People in ordinary walka of life can find few better opportunities for systematic savings surpassing gov ernment bond's. Weekly payroll deductions accumulate a considerable sum by the end of the year, with investment in bonds affording excellent personal security. For the nation as whole there is no better financial security thsn having individual savings invested in govern ment bonds. . Purchase of savings bonds serves to spread the. national debt into more hands. With more people holding bonds- being actual "stockholders" domestic administration will people will concern themselves tect safety of their investment. Savings bonds, as has often possible insurance against either Inflation or depression. By investing surplus money in bonds we hold down specu lative and competitive buying power, thus restraining price advances. By having reserve buying power we can prevent depression, because when prices drop below a certain point, money will come out of savings accounts to go into new construction or purchase of commodities, thus restoring production and employment Editorial Comment From The Oregon Rrett WHAT'S NEWS' The Coot Bay Timet Aik for a definition of. what It newt end you probably will be told that It la that which It not rommon or utual.

If you are one of the Initiate, you will recognize spike Jones as an or chest ra leader with a certain renown, some might even say rlamor. Helen Grayro sings with the Jonet organization. Now then, what would you expect might have been the tone of their wed ding, bearing In mind that the melange of sound poured forth by Mr. Jonet and hit musician Is, one migni tay, aisrespectiui of the claitlct and even lam poons the sure-fire "moon, June, croon, tpoon" of Tin Pan Alley.

That, members of the class. Is an example of the unexpected, that spells newt. But wait, that's not all of the news that came out of that particular wedding. Listen to this.

Klllen. head of the Allied La bor section, threatened to resign today because of General Mac Arthur's statement that Japan's 2.000.0(10 government workers should not be allowed to strike for higher wages. "I propose to resign." Klllen said, ''because I can not adjust myself to the new occupation la bor policy which denies the gov ernment workers the right to col lective bargaining. The government workers' un ion has not acted on the MacAr thur letter which quoted the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt at saying a strike by government employes was "unthinkable and intolerable." MacArthur said In his letter: "I am In full accord with this view."

H. Young, resident en gineer. This $355,492 state project In under contract to C. J. Eldon with associates. The work calls for relocation, straightening and widening, and surfacing with bi tuminous macadam, said Young. The project was started In May. and the contract calls for comple tion July 31, 1949. This will be an all-winter project. The north west end will adapt easily to winter work, as it consists chiefly of removing a large amount of rock. This portion will be the most difficult to complete, ac cording to Young. The project begins about four and one-hall miles nortneriy Creek to the summit, then e'xJment officials before a con tends down Little Canyon Creek to the Umpqua River near the bridge at TVee and on to within live miles of Kellogg. From this point the county road continues to Elkton. Rebuilding of the lat ter section is contemplated as a future Iroiect. When completed, the road will serve as a shortcut to the coast for persons living south of Suth erlin. The route to Reedsport over this road will be shortened by about 12 miles as against the route via Drain. Another state projett under way at the present time is the Roieburg-Dixonville 4.39 miles of grading and paving. Leonard and Slate are the contractors. The work, which Joins with a half mile of city construction on East Second Avenue South, is schedu led for completion Dec. 31, said Young. Marshall Says Allies in Accord On Berlin Remedy By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, July 28 (. Secretary Marshall said today the United States has agreed with the British and French on next moves In dealing with the crisis of Soviet-blockaded Berlin. Marshall declined at a news conference to disclose any point of the agreement. He said, however, that some reports from abroad purporting to set forth details are incorrect. One question on which he was specific is that the Western Pow ers intend to go forward on schedule with their plan for set ting up a separate government in Western Germany. Marshall was told that there was a report .from London quot ing a British official as saying that the Western German gov ernment plan would be put .n cold storage If Russia and the Western Powers agree to meet on the future of Germany. Marshall said that was not his understanding and he agreed w ith a statement by Gen. Lucius D. Clay here last Friday that the United States. Britain and France are going ahead with their plans. The Western Powers hope to i find out soon whether Russia , really ' wants to negotiate an ac : " l""ulr """-' " mom v.- man issues. This is understood to be the main purpose behind the id-a of having the American British and French envoys In Moscow call on Foreign Minister Molotov prob- ablv m'x' weekend for a direct Ul UMUII Ul liltT Dfl llll II IMS.
