Axis Sally had that kind of voice the kind that weaves an illu sion for tired and lonely men who have been months and years away from home. I remember the first time I heard Axis Sally. Montgomery's bignin Army was cnaslng Rom mel's Afrlka Korps across the western desert toward Bengasi and defeat In Tunisia. There wasn't much time to rest, but occasionally the traffic Jam on the desert road forced halts along the way. One night at Halfaya 'Hell Fire) pass, tired British soldiers gathered around a radio after upper. A signalman tuned In a BBC program. It was a bore some discourse by a Mr. Heath- stone Witherlngton, or some body with a like name, on Dahlia culture In Kensington. The BBC seemed to specialize In programs nonoav waniea to near. Hell, Jock" a Highlander growled. "Let's hear Axis Sally." jock spun me aiais ana in a few momenta the soft, pulsim strains of an American melody uoatea across tne desert. Vale of ths Slrsn When the music ended, a throaty woman's voice whispered words Intended to stir longing and desire and homesickness in the hearts of those who listened. The voice talked of home and wives and sweethearts and how foolish It was to tight the Ger mans. It told the men to give up the fight and go back home to their loved ones. It was a voice that tried to seduce and break the hard spirit of the desert rats so far from home. Oh, they liked Axis Sally those tough men of the desert. They liked her American brand of music and her warm voice that made them forget for a moment the cold winds of the desert night Just because It was femi nine. But they laughed at Sally's commercials the sloppy mer chandise she tried to soil them. And now they tell us Axis Sal ly is no glamor-gal at all. The government says she Is I American-born Mildred Elizabeth ICillars a tired-looking, graying ! woman of ordinary figure and features who is nearing the half- century mark In age. She Is accsued of "unlawfully, willfully and treasonably" aid ing Germany during the war by trying to break the morale of Allied troops with her music and seductive voice. She was brought here from Frankfurt, Germany, and Is awaiting trial. If Mildred Elizabeth Glllars Is Axis Sally then a lot of men around the world are going DANCE FOR PATIENTS Monday, Aug. 31, the Playmore Garden Orchestra and the Amer ican Legion Post, No. 3 of Eu gene will sponsor a dance for the patients of the Veterans Hos pital under the auspices of the American Red Cross. Dancing will be from 8 to 10 p. m. All women of the community are urged to attend as hostesses. to haul down that mental pin-up picture. l' I ' I Kit. hen Work Made Easy If modern kitchen fixtures will make your kitchen work easier, see us.

Covered payrolls for each of the three counties showed In creases of around 25 per cent over 1947 figures, while Linn, Klamath, Deschutes and Lincoln counties, which also have been stepping up lumber production since 1940, little mora than held their own. In all seven counties, wood product firms accounted for most of the reported wages. Lane county widened Its mar gin for leadership among upstate counties with $15,783,113 pay roil, an increase of 27.6 per cent over the $12,368,912 reported for the first quarter of 1947. More than 55 per cent of these wages went to wood product workers. Coos county overtook Linn with an advance of 23.5 per cent from K.S44,l-'5 lat year to 7. 230,076 In 1948. More than 66 per cent of this payroll was in lumber and logging. With an Increase of 25 per cent from $5,557,277 In 1947 to $6,942,467 the first quarter of 1948, only 6 per cent higher than a year before. Nearly 66 per cent of Linn's pay roll was In wood products, while 71 per cent of Douglas' wages came from this Industry, I Nearly 80 per cent of Lincoln ' county's $2,527,377 first quarter payroll was accounted for by lumber and logging, but the coun- j ty gained only 10.3 per cent over the same period In 1947. Klamath 1 reported $6,044,632 In first quart er wages, 5.4 per cent higher than a year before. Deschutes gained 17 per cent to report $2,-706,617. Sixteen of Oregon's 36 coun ties reported more payrolls in the first quarter of 1948 than the entire year of 1940. One county Douglas actually doubled that year's figures, and Linn and Josephine came close to it. Payroll reports already tabulat ed Indicate a first quarter total of well over $210 millions, high est In the state's history, while first half wages will run around $436 millions. Indicating new highs for 1948 of more than $900 millions. This compare with a pre-war high of $256 millions and a war-time mark of $799 millions in covered payrolls. RIA LOAN GRANTED WASHINGTON, Aug.
