j and fire department positions. Dr.
Anderson explained at this meet
, Ing and was supported by W. L.
Van Loan, president of the Lane
' County Health association, that
. the duties of a public health of
I ticer do not include actual medical
work but lie in the field of pre
i vention and control of disease,
,, unitary inspections, etc., and that
it was desirable that some change
I' b made in the city's policy of de-
manding this service of the city
; health officer.
! Councilman Sam Bond declared
that this policy had been set by
the civil service commission and
that the council would leave the
matter up to that group to sug
gest any change. Dr. Anderson
agreed to examine the present
candidates for civil service jobs
on his own time in his own office
as a means of cooperating with the
council.
Several council members
brought out the fact that the city's
$1,000 contribution to the county
city health budget does not go di
rectly to Dr. Anderson's salary
but to the general support of the
health program.
Support of the council was giv
en the police committee and the
police department in the strict en-

forcement of the state's new basic
speed laws beginning June 14. The
officers both in cars and afoot will
"crack down" on all offenders, ac
cording to Mr. Bond, The council
also authorized Recorder John
Fields to impose stiffer penalties
for traffic violations.
Definite speed limits are to be
set in the city which will be an
nounced before the enforcement
campaign begins and then burden
of proof in the event of an arrest
will rest with the driver and not
with the police officer. It has been
suggested that the 25 mile per hour
speed limit for cities be upped to
SS miles on through streets.
Reports on the U. S. army biv
ouac site on West Thirteenth ave
nue, on hangars at the airport for
the private fliers, and on preven
tion of the smoke nuisance were
held over until the next meeting.
The council heard a report filed
by Chief C. F. Bergman and ap
proved by Mayor Elisha Large and
Sam Bond, chairman of the police
committee, disciplining Sergeant
Roy Wilcox and Officer Joseph
Cullender for violations of the
civil service code.
Wilcox was demoted from ser
geant to patrolman and suspended
for 30 days without pay beginning
immediately for carrying on a
business for profit outside his po
lice duties. He is allegedly main
taining a cabinet shop just outside
of Eugene. Cullender was sus
pended for 10 days without pay
for discourtesy to the public. He
allegedly engaged in an alterca
tion with two motorcycle riders In
March of this year.
C. A. Horton's audit of the city
books for 1940 was approved and
placed on file. The hiring of a
man at $4 per day to mow the grass
and weeds on city lots was ap
proved. Permission was given the
Pageant association to hold the
kick-off parade 6n June 14, and
the Firestone company was or
dered t6 erect a barrier of some
nature to keep cars at the station
from parking 6n the sidewalk. A
bill of sale was issued to J. E.
Coldren for his bam located on
the airport property.
In answer to the Eugene Fruit
Growers' request for a special gar
bage hauling license the council
approved the creation of a new
special $25 per year license for
persons or businesses to haul burn
able wastes to the city dump. This
is for non-c6mmerial uses.
Following the adjournment of
the council W. J. Smith, president
of the Oregon Wild Life Federa
tion presented a colored moving
picture and a talk on the pollu
tion of the Willamette river and
the need for control. He praised
the steps being taken by Eugene
towards the construction of a dis
posal plant.

notified of the board's decision and
so could take no action.
The board gave its unanimous
and enthusiastic approval of the
plans to create sub-districts with
in' the city to handle the shifting
school population. A map show
ing these districts is now being
prepared and will be printed in
the paper soon. Compulsory at
tendance of children in each dis
trict at the school of that district

The resignation of Dallas Nor
ton, Eugene high school social liv
ing teacher, was accepted. Mr.

the Lorane high school. The res
ignation of Miss Irene Haubrick
(Mrs. Alyn Shaw) second grade

tne vacancy.
Mr. Norton's place will be taken
by the return of Edgar Goodnough

to attend school in Hawaii for
the past year.

With the Mediterranean the sea

supplies lor tne British middle

French Dakar, on the rim Of the
Airican hump, is being used as
a reemlnr TT-hnaf hnan hv tha
Germans. These reports still must
oe accepted with reserve, for the
reason that the use of a base im
plies the availability of adequate
supplies, and fuel oil, among other
things, must be imported by
French West Africa.
Probably however, a limited
supply of oil still axists at Dakar,
sent there originally for the use
of the French naval units now
holed up in the harbor.
The Robin Moor appears to
have been sunk 600 miles south
of the Cape Verde Islands (or
roughly the same distance south
west of Dakar).
The date was May 21, according
to official reports to Washington.
That was four days before Ger
man Grand Admiral Eric Raeder
charged that United States Atlan
tic air and naval patrols were ag
gressive and warned against their
extension, saying in the same
breath that use of American con
voys would be an open act of
war.
It was just six days before
President Roosevelt declared that
nazi occupation of Dakar, the
Cape Verde Islands and The
Azores "would directly endanger
the freedom of the Atlantic and
our own physical safety."
It may be that for the time
being the Robin Moor sinking Is
an isolated Incident and that the
axis, unable to obtain adequate
supplies at nearby bases and
threatened constantly by British
warships from Gibraltar, will be
unable to conduct extended war
fare In the south Atlantic until
Gibraltar is made useless aa a
British naval base.
On the other hand It is possible
that a number of long-range axis
submarines already have been
sent into South Atlantic waters
on a mass hit-and-run expedition
which will last until shortage of
fuel and other supplies forces
them back to Italian Mediterran
ean ports or to the west coast
of France.

The rich agricultural and tim
ber resources of the valley which
to a large extent are shipped to
all parts of the country and which
are vital in the. defense program
would be endangered by floods,
both in the natural state, in the
industrial plants, and on the way
to market.
Another important point
orought out is that a flood today
would cause more damage than
50 years aen beraiiRA murh mnri
timber has been removed from the
mountains and the waters from
the melting snow would run off
much more rapidly.
An incidental result of the proj
ect but one very important to
the national defense nlans is the
reconstruction of roc and high
ways which would bi .ecessary in
the building of these dams, par
ticularly the Detroit dam on the
North Santiam. In the construc

$3,000,000 will be expended for an

Skirmishes
There was no specific report of
any military clashes in Syria
which seemed to amount to more
than brief skirmishes.
Diplomats in Ankara heard re
ports that the Allied columns al
ready had reached Damascus. The
reports said that only slight re
sistance was being offered by the
French and there were no indica
tions there that the Axis would
come to the aid of the French. The
Turkish view was that Syria would
be occupied by the Allied troops
within a week or two at most.

Churchill's address was devoted

British Lose 15,000
He placed British losses at 15,

half the expeditionary force.
In addition, the action cost the
British four cruisers and six de

He estimated German losses at

or wounded, 185 fighters and
bombers destroyed and 250 troop
