i council was made only after rather

the secretary of the League of
Oregon Cities, and also after ad-

) We are aware of certain faults
in this ruling and have eagerly
(ought advice and counsel from
all interested parties.
In all fairness may I say, that
neither mayor, fire chief nor .com
mittee chairman, has authority to
, change the ruling of the council
. as passsed in regular session.
If there had been great danger
of life involved in this fire, I am
sure any or all of us would have
made a different answer, regard

One rule of business we all
. recognize, you can't buy a fire in
surance policy after the fire has
started.
Your city council has tried

backwards, thinking of what might

In regard tot the recent response
to the Marcola fire; it has not
been the intent of the council to
offer a fire protection contract to
communities so far out. Our serv
ice would be of questionable value
and no contract has been offered
to them.
As suggested by the Register
Guard representative, the Nation
al Fire Underwriters have been
approached to send a competent
engineer to make a major survey
of fire hazards for the entire Eu
gene area, and to make recom
mendations for a correct approach
to this problem, and which might
serve as a pattern for other cit
ies. This they are now consider
ing. Insofar as the $853 politician
commentator is concerned, run
ning a political party is one thing
but directing a city government
is quite another matter.
It is hoped that friendly co
operative plans can be worked out
with all urban fringe communi
ties to prevent a recurrence of
this most regrettable disaster. We
earnestly seek your support and
assistance to this end.

Mexico's foreign minister Eze-

The German minister. Rudt von

' Germans Await News'-'
In Europe, Germany awaited
news of advances in the Leningrad
area while Russians were cheered
by reports of defense successes in
the Smolensk sector where the
main German drive on Moscow
was halted.
Unofficial German reports Indi
cated that the Red army took the
initiative on the 17th day of the
battle of Smolensk to push back
the Invaders at some points, cap
turing prisoners and war material.
Harry L. Hopkins U. S. lease

hour private talk with Premier
Joseph Stalin yesterday, his sec
ond since his unexpected arrival
in Moscow by plane.
Saying that his conviction that
Hitler would lose the war was
strengthened, he sa d after the in
terview that "my short visit here
has given me even more confi'
dence."
He was believed to have told
the Russian leader that American
production of war materials would
surpass any foreign estimates.

Construction and Improvements
projects under the supervision of
the CAA are limited to airports
owned by local governmental au
thorities. Work is restricted to
the development of landing fa
cilities. All other improvements,
including hangars and other build
ings, must be done by local en
terprises or local government.
"No recommendations for Im
provements or construction were
made until a thorough survey by
airport engineers estimated the
value of the locations to national
defense," Connolly said. "How'
ever, while the airports have been
selected to meet defense require
ments, every extort has been
made to select sites offering fu
ture value to commercial and
Civil i aviation, thus innurlnff n

fense investment."
The work will be directed by

Pirates At It
MARSHFIELD, Ore., Aug. 1.
(U.R) Made of "pre-masticated1
Coos Bay pulp, world's champion
spitting certificates rolled from the
presses today, a few hours before
expectorators from far and near
engage in the first annual inter
national and inter-collegiate spit
ting derby at noon Saturday Aug.
2.
"Remember not to smoke but
to spit when the forests are dry,"
the legend on the certificate read:
"We must keep Oregon brown."
Bearing a picture of a Coos Bay
Pirate because the Pirates are
sponsoring the two-day regatta
and fun festival, the certificates,
200 in number, will be awarded
divisional champions. One will go
to the man who wins the penta
thlon or all-events title which will
also win him a Myrtlewood spit
toon, a bid to the next Olympics
games and the rights to go barn
storming. Grass has been mowed on the
greensward behind the Marshfield
postoffice, the referee and two
judgs were already on the scene,
and Chief Skull C. P. MacNabb
said weather probably would be
ideal for both plain and fancy spit
ting. He said humidity was going
down, few air pockets were found
today and drift conditions were
"quite satisfactory."
In Brazil, government-sponsored
aviation clubs have been set up
in every state to stimulate air-mindedness.
Oregon Officials,

had been forewarned of the1 chance
it was taking. . .
"The reason why the West
Springfield community and scores
of others similarly located
throughout the state neglected to
protect themselves was that they
thought in an emergency their
city neighbors would weaken and
come to their aid .as they always
had done in the past. . . . Procras
tination and neglect finally caught
up with them and they were
caught in a trap of their own de
vising." ..'
Portland Law Similar
The city of Portland has a law
similar to that of Eugene prohibit
ing the use of fire equipment in'
rural areas not part of a regular
district, according to a statement
received from Acting Mayor
William Bowes.
Bowes recalled, however, only
one instance about a year and a
half ago where the Portland fire
department refused to . answer a
call. Both the Portland mayor
and fire chief have .authority to
order the fire deportment to go
outside of the city limits. Each
uses his own discretion and is not
bound by any fixed rules.
The consensus of Portland city
hall opinion on the case, according
to united Press, is that comnunv
ities themselves should make
agreements beforehand. Officials
also stressed the point that depart.
ment insurance doesn't cover in
juries suffered by firemen outside
of the city.
Portland now has contracts with
about half a dozen communities as
well as a few individuals such as
hospitals, Oregon shipbuilding
company, and even private homes.
They either pay regular service
charge of about $150 for first call
and $100 for calls thereafter or pay
regularly monthly assessment of
two mills.-
Klamath Forming Policy
Reports from Klamath Falls in.
dicate that the city is now formu
lating a definite policy to cover
such situations. Not yet written
into an ordinance, it would pro.
vide that the department will go
outside tor a major industrial fire.
but the plant must provide crew
and equipment, with the exception
oi a pumper and operator.
The department probably would
also go out for a general conflag.
ration threatening Klamath Falls
itself. However, Chief Keith Am.
brose is now taking up with fire
underwriters any question as to
the eiiect oi equipment being ab
sent from the. city.
Corvallis also has adopted a s!m
LUar .ruling, , the Associated Press
reported. At present a rural fire
protection district is in the process
of formation there. The city has
agreed to answer alarms within
