AMERICAN HEROES

w but - ""S,j.-,
When our mortars were pounding Maknassy Hill near Sidi Du-Sid
in Africa, Private James Rugolo of Brooklyn, New York, was one of
the men bringing up the ammunition. Struck by shrapnel, he kept
going until he dropped, was awarded the Purple Heart. On every
battlefront men like Rugolo press the attack relentlessly, regardless
of personal cost. Are you doing enough to keep our attack rolling
through Payroll Savings?
SNOW HELPS WIN the WAR
. , V -SfeSs
Snow Up There. A major part of the West's war food produc
tion depends upon the water-supplying snow pack of the high
nountain watersheds in the Cascades, the Rockies, the Sierras,
and other ranges. Despite shortage of manpower and other hand
icaps, hardy snow surveyors from cooperating local, State, and
Federal agencies have gone up and measured the snow and its
water content this year as they do every year in order to help
farmers, power companies, cities,' and many others to know how
much water they may count upon having this coming summer.
Water Down Here. "It's the water that counts" water used
to best advantage in irrigating this and other Western States' war
food production acres. When the linal Aprii snow survey reports
are in, men of long experience estimate with surprising accuracy
how much water will flow in the Yesl's streams end into its reser
voirs. Farmers, ranchers, and or. : .lists, for example, then can
lay their plans accordingly for p. u' and irrigating in accord
ance with the forecasts, made on il;c bi'.sh cf normal rainfall.

Scout Activities . .
By Lauren Corwin
Thirteen boys from the Heppner
t:p went to Bingham Springs
where a camp was held for troops
from Pendleton, Pilot Rock, lone
Lexington and Heppner. The camp
was in session from Saturday noon
to Tuesday afternoon and was sit
uated above Bingham and the boys
were taken down to the Springs
each day to swim.
It rained a little each night which
made the sleeping problem more
difficult, but it taught the boys how
to take care of themselves in such
weather and acquainted them also
with the darker side of camp life.
Inspection was held each morn
ing and the boys got many pointers
on keeping clean camps.
All in all the boys agreed that
to have another camp there next
year would be well worth while.
