one of Eugene's draftees learned
the past week.
He wat called to Portland to
report There doctors said grave
ly he must have a "very thor
ough" examination, from toe
nails to the top of his head.
Others In the group were re
ceiving a less thorough-going
test. The selectee wanted to
know why.
The doctor replied, "Because
you are a conscientious objec

asked.
The doctor replied that his
card indicated at much and the
selectee had to admit he had
put marks in the wrong place.
"For crying out loud," he said.
"I've been trying to get into the
navy for six weeks, but they
wouldn't let me."
Local draft officials said the

We picked up a wounded British
Commando.
"The Canadians are taking an
awful pounding in thtre," he said.
"They're fighting like hell, but
Jerry is awfully strong."
Eventually, we were ordered to
return to England, but as we with

us. We had suffered heavy losses.

'Siamese' Squash, More
Tall Dahlias Reported
Summer squashes and dahlias
ordinarily don't mix, but they
do in Route F contests, and they
are the reason for this little
story.
Mrs. Benny' Hall, route 4,
brought "Siamese twin" summer
squashes to the Register-Guard
office, Friday. The squashes, of
the yellow crooked neck va
riety, are perfectly formed but
grew together all along one side.
Dahlias appear to be getting
taller and taller. Mrs. W. E.
Jackson, Linslaw, reports dahlias
seven feet tall and petunias that
are three feet across the plants.
This variety of petunia comes up
every year from seed, the plants
seeding themselves.
Up Wendling way, however,
they are higher. Mrs. Edward
Keeler reports dahlias 7 feet

Such a raid presumably would
be little more than a commando

The navy's announcement that
