G o o d d e m a n d f o r CASCARA BARIC Casrura bark like nuiny other coin modities is lcenng the effect o( the ue.en.se program. According to word received from I. P. Callison & So ... o f Port Orchard, Wash., the laigest dealers in cascura bark, there is u good demand for the bark and while the normal market price ovei the last ten years has been around 5c a pound the current market is 9c, d. y and crushed in burlap baits. It is liien opinion that strong prices will prevail during the entire 1941 season. At this price expert peelers can nuke as high as $15 a day. It permits school boys and irirls to make good money du.ing the vacation seas on and farmers and their wives to augment their present income by the peeling ol cascaru. Caacara bark peel ing gives employment to hundreds of men and women along the Pacific cous in the interest of conservation the foicstiy departments of Washington and Oi ton lia\u ou r. ieu suggested rules for pteling cascura trees which aie.as follows: 1. Trees should be felled prior to peeling as new sprouts will spring from me stump and provide a new crop in a very few years. 2 Trees less than 3 inches in dia» meter snould not be peeled. 3 bark should not be peeled from the stump. 4 Limbs and branches should be peeled down to a diameter o f 1 V4 inches. 5 Peelers should take every pre caution against the start or spreading o f fires. Ca icara Bark is one of the most important drugs and is used thruout the world. Merchantable caseara must be thoroly dry, free from adultera tion o f any kind and reasonably free from moss. It is best dried in the su: but must not be allowed to remain out during rains, as moisture leaches out the vital extracts. Local merchants in all communit ites buy cascara providing a ready market.

Supplementary “ expositions” w:l be sent to the boards in the near fu- ture. The subcommittee on military af fairs o f the national committee on education and defense has prepared proposed amendments to the Selec- I tive Training and Service act o f 1940. i To dale it has kept these amendments ! in abeyance as it believes that it is wiser to have the purposes o f the amendments accomplished thru re gulations by national headquarters lather than by legislation. Although the subcommittee will continue to survey local board decisions and will 1 keep an open mind on the question it i is the subcommittee’s judgment at 1 tills time that these regulations, of- j ficiai interpretations, and recommen- | ded procedures will achieve, thru the exisiting act the two fold need: av- ; oidanee o f the interruption o f a stu- dents work during the summer ses sion, semester or quarter in which he receives his order for induction and assurance of a continuous supply of trained men in professions essential to the national health, safety and in terest. Students who have been or will be classified in I-D or I-E (deferred until end o f acedemic year or July 1, whichever is first) who may nof be given occupational deferment and consequently may be classified in I-A (eligible for induction after expira tion o f student deferment) have fre quently asked at what date they may expect to be inducted. National head quarters and army officials are now working on the problem o f quotas but expect to be able to induct all such students early in the summer. The following letter received by national headquarters from Secretary e , o f War Henry L. Stimson is o f in- terest to students who may wish to volunteer: ‘ “ In reply to the inquiry concern-]" ing the acceptance by the war de-| partmenti of students who may wish! to volunteer next summer fo r selec tive training and service depart ment is certain tnat there will b t ample vacancies in the army during the months o f June, July, August and September to accomodate all -tu- dtlltl who desire to begin their ser [ Ì 4 1 4 3 vice during that period.” Any man between the ages o f 13 SOURCE and 21 with parental consent may volunteer for induction under the se lective training and service act for i the period o f military service pre- ' scribed in the act. He will not there- I after be subject to further training except that provided for al draftees by the ten year enlisted reserve i clause. 11 ---------- o---------- According to the county books as o f April 1 the Coyote and Bobcat bounty fund has already diminished from $500 down to $364.50 As various authorities including the President have lately observed an American characteristic has been to be buoyed up into the clouds of op timism by British victories or to be cast down into the depths o f des pair by British defeats. This, these authorities believes is a mistake, in a great war the tide o f victory never runs one way. The achievements must be accompanied by the failures. And so it is argued the Bntisii-Greek- Yu goslavian debacle in the B.: kans has as it is should not be exaggerated. The decisive battle o f this war is the Battle of England and the Atlantic- llitler may go far elsewhere but until England herself falls he cannot win. Looking back now on the Balkan campaign it seems apparent that the British either underestimated the German power or over estimated the effectiveness o f their allies. It was felt in military circles that Yugosla via with the aid of her difficult ter- tain should be able to last many weeks, she actually fell in 13 days, and long before the end her armies were in swift retreat and were cut o ff from each other. It was felt that the mountainous country o f Greec, among the severest in the woi id Would slow the German ;mechanized ad vance. Yet the German small tanks went over the precipitous mountain passes almost as easily as if they weie traveling on roads and the Greek army found that personal valor could not compensate for the immense su- peiority the Germans possessed in equipment. The same thing was true of the Anzac troops o f General Wa- veli’s army which were transported to Greece from Africa. Man for man ihe reporters on the scene wrote they were far better than their German roes. But the greatest coui age is a frail weapon indeed against a tank. On top of that it is apparently irue that again the Germans deinon- stiated a lax greater elticiency in siait work. Thera was no unineu A l lied command in the Balkans and the respective general stalls had little opportunity for consultation ana coop erative planning. As usual the Ger man campaign was bluepiinlcu to the last detail and it went o ff according to sciiedule. There are critics, in England a. well as here, who believe and say tht British should never have been trans ferred to Greece, that defeat was tot» doomed. This criticism was answerea by Mr. Chuichill in his world wiu. talk o f April 27. He said that one o. the greatest strengths o f britian lie.- in the admiration and respect she ha; gained in the United States and else where and that if she had left he allies down after encouraging the» to fight and pledging aid much ol that regard would have been lost. There was, in other words, a grea question o f national honor involves in the British government’s view. And so the desperate gamble was ta Clackamas county budgeted $2400 for fire fighting equipment and fire ken. What achievements we may expeci wardens. of Hitler remain to be seen. In his talk Mr. Churchill was not sanguine Th" Clackamas eo u.ty coroner was about the immediate future, he in timated that the Axis may dominate the Black and Caspain seas, may over run Turkey and seize or otherwise Obtain the great wheat and oii lanus o f the Soviet Union. He pointed out that General Waved's A m ean army which chased the Italians out of Lib ya and have since sufiered reversed fiom strong German detachments were smaller than most realized, 30,- 000 men with relatively little mech anized equipment. However Britian does have great forces in Egypt and j ,S » I m w : the Germans should find the going harder there. In the meantime It was a great day .„♦à. ; for Britian when President Roosevcil 'nr- -ir'i ?

This mean, that Britian will have to protect a great deal less of the Atlantic and can concentrate her none-too-num- erous naval forces in the areas where they are most vitally needed. The loss o f shipping .after all, is far more dangerous to Biitians ultimute hopes than is the loes o f local campaigns in Europe or Africa. For if Hitler can isolate Britian from the New World and shut o ff th war materials nnd the food she must have to survive and fight he will win the war. It is in i the Atlantiic almost all authorities ( think the the end o f this grim story must finally and irrevocably be told HGHER FlH 'TA HON AND NA1 IONAL DElf.NSF.
