. FAGE THREE.-,
Defense Carpenter Trainees
Build Houses for Practice
Building of frame structures, just for practice, near the sen
ior high school symbolizes the activities of national defense train
ing in Salem now, Coordinator C. A. Guderian declared Tues
day. The trainees are members of the newest class, rough and
tries.
The carpentry course has 80
men enrolled in four classes, two
running concurrently through the
daylight hours. The work is six
hours daily for six days per week.
Enrollees began by removing
some partitions under the dinger
grandstand and converting the
space to classrooms and a work
shop. Most -of the work, howevej,
is done outside, just east of the
grandstand. Following blueprints,
the men soon change piles of lum
ber into small frame buildings.
Guderian said the trainees
would probably be ready for work
when cantonment employment is
available.

Service Men
Where They Are
What They're Doing
Corp. Douglas L. Jones, son of
Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Jones, 655
North 17th street, Salem, has
been promoted to the rank of
sergeant.
Alfred H. Yunker, son of Mr.
and Mrs.-Otto A. Yunker, Scio,
was recently promoted to the
rank of corporal at McChord field,
Wash. He is now stationed in
Fort Dix, New Jersey, for a train
ing period as a radio operator. He
is the brother of Otto A. Yunker,
route two, Salem.
Reports that the Russians have cracked the Staraya Russa
pivot of German .lines just south of Lake Hmen and have ad
vanced in the Smolensk sector, 250 miles farther south, suggest
that the Stalin counter offensive is rolling again in high gear.
A nazi stand at Staraya Russa
has been holding up for many
days what has appeared to be
the cutting edge of a vast Rus
sian squeeze play aimed at 'lop
ping off the whole nazi left flank.
If Staraya Russa has fallen be
fore the onslaught of Russian
troops who claim they have
smashed a three-division German
army in that area, the direct road
to Pskov junction, key to Ger
man communications on the Bal
tic flank, is open. A nazi retreat
from Leningrad will certainly be
in order if the road cannot be
promptly blocked.
It was through the Pskov
Porkov gateway that the Ger
mans drove from Estonia, out
flanking the Lake Peipus fron
tier moat to the south, to lay
siege to Leningrad. Half a score
railroads and highways con
vene at Pskov.
Staraya Russa itself is an im
portant rail and road junction. A
double system leads northwest
around the lower shore of Lake
Ilmen to Shimsk where it inter
cepts the main communication
line supporting German forces
holding Novogorod.
Another 40-mile stride to
Shimsk would isolate nazi forces
along the Volkov river. It also
would open a second route west
ward to cut direct Pskov-Leningrad
communications. A converg
ing attack on Pskov itself from
the west and northwest would be
possible, although that vital Ger
man junction still is more than
100 miles distant from the near
est known Russian spearhead.
Coupled with a red drive to
within 50 miles of Smolensk,
the Staraya Russa operation
takes an added significance. To
meet both threats Hitler must
rush heavy reinforcements by
land and indirect routes.
The Russians have the advan
tage of interior communication
lines. Their hopes of clearing the
foe from all the north flank to
the Esthonian border and also
forcing a wide nazi retreat in
white Russia are not too extrava
gant if the attack can be kept
moving.
