In Chapter Two, local fans saw him hurtling earthward in a plummet­ ing plane, but in the current ep­ isode, "Boomerang,” he makes a spectacular escape from death and proceds to outwit the secret agents of the enemy nation by a device which for sheer ingenuity is sel­ dom rivaled in screen serial pro­ duction.

Athey, Editor, Dear Sir: Enclosed please find copy of the poem “Your Flag and My Flag,” for which a request was made in a re­ cent issue of your paper. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Bunch send us the paper and we enjoy reading it very much. Success to your pa­ per. and best wishes to our Illinois valley friends. Mr. and Mrs. Lum Harding. Editor’s Note—Thanks Mr. and Mrs. Harding for your kind words and for the poem. We also send best wishes to you and yours and we know all your friends in the valley will be glad to read your letter. Here is the poem in full, and we think it should be in every school in the land and all pupils commit it to I memory : “YOUR FLAG AND MY FLAG” (Continued from Page on«) We want to call your attention to one of the most important na­ tional sentries — The American Red Cross. You and I need the Red Cross more than ever this year. And the Red Cross needs us more than ever during its an­ nual Roll Call, November 11 to November 30. Practically every Red Cross ser­ vice has some bearing on the prep­ arations now being made for our national defense. We all devoutly pray that Red Cross nurses, doc­ tors, medical technologists and blood donors will never see ser­ vice under wartime conditions. But at the same time we can thank our lucky stars that the Red Cross “keeps its powder dry.” Those who take the responsibil­ ity of chairmen of districts know what this work is, and we hope the valley residents will appreciate the need and help make this job of solicitation easier for the volun­ teer workers in the field. Mis. Ralph Baumberger has been se­ lected chairman this year for the valley and she will have plenty of help front other ladies. Keep them in mind and when they call have a smile and a membership ready for them. Your flag and my flag And how it flies to-day In your land and my land And half world away! Rose-red and blood-red The stripes forever gleam! Snow-white and soul-white— The good forefathers’ dream; Sky-blue and true blue, with stars to gleam aright— HEAVY RAINS HELP The gloried guidon of the day; a shelter through the AGRICULTURE night. Rains have been the rule for the past week in the valley and all of Southern Oregon, and part of the time all over the state. In the valley proper 4.50 inches of rain fell this month and more is on the docket for next month, ac­ cording to indications at present. Snow fell in the high places with a foot of snow at the government camp at Crater Lake and in our own territory at Bear Camp. ■ ..... o Your flag and my flag! To every star and stripe The drums beat as hearts beat And fifers shrilly pipe! Your flag and my flag— A blessing in the sky; Your hope and my hope— It never hid a lie! Home land and far land and half the world around, Old Glory hears our glad salute and ripples to the Fire Season Is Now sound; Officially Closed Your flag and my flag; And, oh, how much it holds— Your land and my land— Secure within its folds; Your heart and my heart Beat quicker at the sight; Sun-kissed and w'nd tossed— Red and Blue- -. n 1 white. The on? flag—the great flag—flag for me and you —Glorified all else besidt s—The Red White and Blue! Blue! —Wilbur D. Nesbit. The fire season was officially terminated by a proclamation by Acting Governor Fatland on Octo­ ber 24. No more burning permits will be required until May 15, 1941 unless burning conditions become sufficiently hazardous to again ne­ cessitate restricted burning. The termination of the fire sea­ son in no way relieves the individ­ ual of full responsibility for any damage that his burning may do. HAROLD BOWERMAN District Ranger. --------------o------------ - Program By Girl Scouts Enjoyable Affair Girl Scouts held their regular meeting Thursday, October 14, got their dish towels and started with the help of Mrs. Martindale prac- ' ticing dancing.

Gus Hart Injured Bv Plunging Horse While herding some cattle in the lane at Holland Tuesday, Gus Hart was painfully injured when ridden down by a plunging horse ridden by Roy Hervey. Mr. Hart was knocked down by the horse, his face bruised and the back of his head abraised by a rock when he hit the ground. Several stitches were taken the scalp wound and now Gus around smiling as usual.
