Every American citizen who listens to radio, reads newspapers, or gives any attention to the progress of the war, knows that the Allies have a long and hard road yet to travel before the unconditional surrender of the Axis forces is achieved. Although they also know that while we are gaining ground steadily, and that our factories of production are turning out more and more fighting equipment monthly, the cost in dollars will be tremendous. We need more battleships, more planes, tanks, guns, merchant ships and supplies, and unless we supply these our boys will be unable to fight without great losses. This is what we are trying to save ; the lives of our fighting men. If we can get planes enough to bomb the life out of Germany we may save the slaughter of an invasion. If we can have naval equip ment of the seas and boats to transport supplies to all our fronts, we can get equipment to the boys. It is estimated that we will have a million casual ties in 1943, and this sort of thing should not be al lowed to continue in 1944 or 1945. • It takes taxes of all kinds, and all the bonds we can buy. The national quota has not yet been reached, nor has that of Ore gon, or Umatilla county, or of Hermiston. Some have > bought no bonds, some who are able, have not bought enough. The time set for completing the sum asked by our government is close at hand. BACK UP YOUR BOY THE 2ND WAR LOAN DRIVE IS ONI The Command has Come_ Mr. and Mrs. Elmer H.

A MESSAGE TO ALL COAL USERS: Prior to the war, coal dealers and users could get all the coal they wanted, whenever they wanted it, merely ordering it. The coal supply, railroad fa cilities and distribution facilities were sufficient to meet all demands currently. However, this picture has changed. The war indus tries, army camps, naval stations and others have taken much of the coal. The railroads are crowd ed with war materials rightfully so. Retailers are short of manpower and trucks. These condi tions are seriously menacing the coal supply for next winter. Here is how you can help — Buy and store your next winter’s supply now. This is absolutely the only way you will be assured of your next winter’s sup- ply. Tum-A-Lum Lbr.

Farmers, who have livestock and poultry, ap peal to you to keep your dogs at home. If you don’t, the problem is certain to reach the straining point, and guns, poison, and official action will take care of these all too many dogs in the community.

Our organization stands ready to help any farmer prepare his application for a service connection or for wiring ma terials.” The first step in obtaining electric service. Mr. Woolley pointed out, is to seek the approval of the county USDA War Board for a service con nection. Such approval is necessary before a priority on farmstead wiring materials may be had.
