Thoughtless Thief
Takes Dog Belonging
To Veteran Due Home
PORTLAND, Aug. 20 (UP) A
thoughtless thief threatened to
day to ruin the homecoming of
an army air forces lieutenant
just released from a Mukden
prison camp along with Gen.
Jonathan Wainwright, command
er of the Bataan and Corregidor
Yank forces.
Mr. and Mrs. Schwimmcr, of
San Francisco, reported to police
that some person had stolen their
son's six-year-old Scotty, Duffer,
from in front of a restaurant
while they were eating.
An immediate appeal was
broadcast by police and Portland
radio stations in an effort to lo
cate the stolen dog. Newspapers
cooperated with humane society
officials in advertising the dog's
appearance.
Mrs. Sehwimmer said their son,
Lt. Charles L. Sehwimmer, left
the Scotty with her for safekeep
ing until he returned.

workmen were installing a new
conveyor belt. Flames spread
quickly to the three-story wooden
structure housing the digesting
vats.
Firemen aided by Camp Adair
soldiers, mill workmen and spec
tators had the fire underc ontrol
within four hours. They suc
ceeded in' keeping the flames
from the adjacent paper plant
and lumber yards.
A switch engine pulled two
tankers louded with chlorine from
danger. Three boxcurs of sul
phur were destroyed.

1 The gasoline of the future is here at last!
2 Developed for post-war motoring, it is now being
released for civilian consumption as fast as our
trucks can get it to the stations.
3 Watch for the sign to go up in your neighborhood.
It may take as much as 10 days to make deliveries
to outlying localities but many stations close to re
fineries will have it immediately.
4. This NEW 76 is far better than pre-war, but it will
sell at "regular" prices.
5. TRY IT! Youll get a thrill you've never experienced
from gasoline before!
Tillamook Fire
Jumps Nehalem
River Lines
PORTLAND, Aug. 20 (UP)
Week-long lull on the Tillamook
county fire front was broken to
day by strong winds which car
ried the flames across the Neha
lem river line.
Additional fighters were rush
ed to the scene today to fight the
scattered spot fires before they
can spread further out of the
small trees ond brush country
bordering the river. Fighters have
been trying to hold the line at
the rver, one of the few natural
defense barriers in the fire areu,
for weeks.
Flames were close to Batterson,
six miles from the Nehalem bay
flatlands. Damage was mainly to
rental cabins and not in the town,
it was reported.
Fire crews, aided by better
weather, held the three-county
fire down while it smoldered and
reburned the 150,000 acres that
have been burning since July 11.
Other fire fronts are being held,
it was reported.
Lane county firefighters are
battling two blazes, said to be
the most serious of the season. A
160-acre fire on quartz creek
about 40 miles from the McKen
zie area and a 100 acre bluze on
Big Baldy in the. Coburg. hills
have both been brought under
control.
