- War developments in Russia tend to lift a little the gloom
caused by the fall of Bataan and British naval losses in the In
dian ocean although Vice Commissary Luzocsky'g prediction that
the nazi invaders will be "liquidated" this year may be wishful
thinking.
He made that promise to a press
conference at Kuibyshev but
backed it up with no official
claims of Red Army advances on
the thawing battle front Unof

careful not to answer with
money telegrams which appear
to come from a navy man or
officer on the mainland, the 13th
naval district warned Friday.
. The announcement stated that
there have been a number of
Instances of fraud in this regard.
The announcement went on to
state, "Some of these telegrams
nave been valid, inasmuch as
there have been instances where
those purported killed, wounded,
or missing have been so reported
in error. However, without relin
quishing hope in - these matters,
the recipient of the telegram

Russian patrols wen. reported
weeks ago to be west . of the
Vitebsk-Nevel railroad and in the
vicinity of Polatsk junction.
Loss of that Junction, more than
100 miles northwest of Smolensk,
would not only drive a deep sail
ent into the very heart of the Ger
man front, but bring the Russians
to within 30 miles of the old Rus
sian-Polish border.
The nazi command could not
ignore that threat.- It would
virtually cut German armies in
Russia in two, and virtually
weaken the Smolensk key to
strategic and tactical troop dispositions.
There is good reason to assume
that the purpose of these Russian
operations far to the west and
north of Smolensk is primarily

Safety Plan
To Continue
Work of Committee
Relieved Needed
Daring Summer
SH.VERTON Mrs. 3. J. Lewis,
state PTA safety chairman, re
ported at the Thursday night
meeting of the Silverton Safely
club that the association planned
to have a safety committee func
tioning through the summer.
" Greater heed for caution than
ever is felt by. the PTA, Mrs.
Lewis said. With additional chil
dren and adults in the fields, new
traffic and safety problems will
develop, she said.
Junior bicycle club officers
comprising the Junior court and
police officers were guests of
the Safety council at the din
ner at George's, with Stanley
Church of the state safety divi
sion as guest speaker.
Reports were made that the
dangerous stretch of road over
East Hills had been repaired and
that Trinity church members had
cooperated with the Safety coun
cil in providing a parking lot at
the rear of the church so that
its members need not park on the
street during services.
Lester Standard, Safety club
president, reported that this street
was so narrow that it could be
step for safety parking if park
ing on only one side of the street
could be provided.
E. K. Burton, city manager, re
ported that this was a difficult
problem to settle and enforce,
particularly in a residential dis
trict where no guide was provid
ed to determine on which side of
the street parking should be per
mitted. It could be done, however,
in case of necessity, he said. Jack
Lewis made,, the suggestion that
if parking limitations were placed
on the street from S to 5 o'clock
on week days some of the hazard
on Second street might be elim
inated as this street was used a
great deal by mill hnen return
ing from work at Silver Falls
Timber company mill during these
hours. The suggestion was taken
under advisement
Church reported that a driv
ing school at the Silverton high
school would open tome time
next week, although the exact
date had not yet been set. He
explained that the school will
be open to adults as well as to
high school students.
That the local bicycle club and
court had been featured in out-
of-state papers was reported at
the meeting.
The Safety council asked if the
city would furnish smoother ap
proaches to the Main street bridge,
It was explained that the state
highway department might be
persuaded to do the work if the
city would furnish the material.
In the opinion of Mayor Reber
Allen and Manager Burton the
city could not do this at least be
fore summer as no sum had been
provided at this time.
