We're On Our Way
That long-expected invasion of western Europe
is now making history at a rapid rate and before
long we should know something of Germany's
real strength. That strength was known to be for
midable months ago before the Allies began straf
fing Nazidom from the air but just how much of
it was destroyed before the Allied high command
decided to move across the channel remains to be
seen in the events of coming days and weeks.
It is inconceivable that the Nazis could muster
up an air force comparable to the luftwaffe of
five years .ago after the terrific pounding their
factory centers have taken the past year or two.
A nation on the defensive is not in the favorable
position to spring a surprise that it would be if
on the offensive. Yet the Germans are a crafty
people and could be capable of concealing some
thing the Allies have not spotted in their contin
uous visits to the continent. That is more or less
conjectural and we may rest assured that the Al
lied high command made sure everything was in
readiness on both sides of the channel before
flashing the green light.
The die is cast and we're on our way. The path
will be strewn wiith barriers and the Allies will
pay dearly for the trip to Berlin. We may drive
the invaders out of the lands they have so brutal
ly pillaged but it will be a long, hard road to Ber
lin after the German border is reached. However,
with the Allies pressing from the west and south
nnd the Russians bearing down from the east and
north, it is not a pleasant prospect for Hitler and
his horde of murderers. Der Fuehrer's conscience
's not bothering him, for he is not encumbered
with one, but he knows the meaning of fear and
there must be no rest for him day or night.
A Good Cause
Once again the generous people of Morrow
county are being called upon to give their money
for use in a worthy cause. The county committee
of the Blue Mountain Camp and Hospital Coun
cil has chosen the month of June as the time for
raising funds to carry on the work so beautifully
started the past year providing comforts for the
boys at McCaw hospital in Walla Walla and the
base hospital at Pasco.
At first it seemed a bit difficult to buy bonds
and make donations to the council during the same
period, yet it must be remembered that our boys
over there are giving their all and that thousands
of them are coming back and will be coming back
for hospitalization and care at home. We cannot
fail them. To do so would only convince them that
they had suffered in vain, Realization of such a
condition would be more unbearable than the phy
sical suffering they somehow endure. We cannot
let them suffer one day longer than necessary.
Last year this county subscribed $1872.51 to this
Not one cent has been spent for administrative
worthy cause. That fund has been spent wisely,
costs, all of it going for the cause for which it was
subscribed. The fund, is low now, a balance of
$193.55 being on hand May 31. A continuing pro
gram will soon exhaust this balance and the work
from this end of the district will have to stop. This
must not happen and will not happen if we know
the metal of Morrow county people. Not one of us
but has a direct interest in this cause, not one of
us but is interested directly or indirectly in a ser
vice man.
There will be no coercion in this solicitation of
funds. Every person in the county will be given an
opportunity to subscribe. It will be up to them to
give or not to give.
JUST A COUPLE OF
OLDTEMERS TALKLV HOSS
Nowadays when two old cron
ies get together reminiscences run
back to college days or to the
first world war, or something on
that older. It is seldom that two
real pioneers come together people
who grew up with the country and
knew it in the days when a man
had to stick with his horse or walk.
Two such pioneers met in Hepp
ner last week when C. A. Minor
of Mt. Vernon, paying his annual
Decoration day visit, and Al Flor
ence of Heppner got together at the
home of Stanley Minor. The host
reports the conversation follow
ed the "good old days" trend with
no amount of allusion to horses
and buckaroo stories. "We have put
up a good race together, Art." "Yes,
Al, and I like to think of our old
cowboy partner, Newt Johes, the
best rider that ever put a foot to
these hills," concluded the Mt.
Vernon sage.
