Ernest Scott, exalted ruler of
Medford lodge of Elks, today
announced a plan under which
all Elk lodgea in Oregon are
assisting the U. S. navy recruit
ing service to enlist 140 young
men In either regular navy ser
vice or the naval reserve.
At a date to be designated
later, the 140 youths will be
called to Portland where they
will be assembled In the Elks
temple to take their oath of alle
giance in a group, Mr. Scott ex
plained. Immediately after be
ing sworn Into the navy, they
will go to the naval training
station at San Diego, where they
will form one complete com
pany that will remain intact
during the period of training, he
related. The group will be
known as the Oregon Elks com
pany.
In connection with the Elks
, campaign, Jack M. Carpenter, in
charge of the recruiting station
in the Medford federal building,
called attention to the recent
opening of 23 new navy schools
throughout the country. Basic
subjects taughfin the schools in
clude ship and aviation radio,
aviation sheet metal, Diesel en
gine, cooking, baking, printing
photography, deep-sea diving
hospital work and dental techni
cian training, Mr. Carpenter
said.
Members of the Medford Elks
lodge are prepared to furnish
authoritative information on en
listments in the navy and naval
reserve, with special reference
to vocational training, types of
schools open to eligible recruits,
pay, and promotion and retire
ment privileges.
"There is a great need for
specialists in the expanding navy
and the navy is in a position to
offer young men who enlist now
either a career or, as In the case
of the naval reserve, emergency
service," Mr. Scott said. "This
training will prepare them for
earning a livelihood in civilian
life or for continuing their ca
reer in the navy. We urge every
young man to investigate now."
Consumption of scrap iron
and steel in the United States
during the first four months of
this year totaled 17,518,000
tons, nearly 6,000,000 more
than . in the same period of
1940.

SUSPECTS NABBED
Douglas E. Jones, 19, of the
Butte Falls district was arrested
yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
William Grenbemer and charged
with burglary not In a dwelling.
Jones allegedly entered the sum
mer cabins of P. K. Nalley and
Ike Smith, in the Butte Falls
sector, and stole a phonograph,
cooking utensils, furniture and
dynamite. The deputy sheriff
states Jones told him the ex
plosive was used In dynamiting
a stream with poor result".
Jones, employed In brush pil
ing, will be arraigned in Justice
court today.
A number of summer cabins
In the county have been robbed
the past winter and spring, ac
cording to the sheriff's office.
Apprehension of the robbers Is
difficult because from 10 days
to two months generally elapses
before discovery of the theft,
due to owners making infrequent
visits to the cabins. The Nalley
and Smith cabin burglaries were
committed about a month ago.
More than 15 percent of army
draftees are 22 years old, con
stituting the largest singly age
i group. Fourteen percent are 23.

Julier, 62 employes of the Gil

presented with the 10-year gold

of the personnel received the
five-year gold plaque.
The large number of five and
10 consecutive year awards is
all the more remarkable, points
out the Gilmore executive, when
it is considered that every traf

To set up an even closer goal
for all employes, including the
newest members of the organiza
tion, a yearly reward of a
bronre pocket piece is included
In the safety program. Julier
reports that there were 335 of
these annual awards distributed
this month to personnel of the
Gilmore company.

this war; it must be a never-
ending nightmare to the veteran
of 1914-18 who thought he had
it all figured out in advance.
Horses ride in airplanes where
by the book they should be
charging across the terrain (Hol
land, May, 1940); tanks in thun
dering fleets wheel and collide
in the awful summer heat of the
Egyptian desert, where Arab
steeds and warriors in bright
robes should have the field of
battle to themselves (Salum,
June, 1941).
Now in the never-never land
of Syria, ex-ally kills ex-ally.
because both, in a sense, are
combatting their original enemy,
one in continuing battle, the
other In the morass of defeat.
The new battle of Salum sees
massed tanks in action on a
basis of equality which should
have prevailed, but did not, at
Cambral and at Arras just a
year ago.
Carried thousands of miles
from home to the blazing sands,
these iron monsters of Germany
and Britain sweep like men o'
war in battle line across the vast
desert, unhindered and unhar
assed for many the mile before
they find the point of attack.
Then the battle explodes. The
ensuing torment of the fighters
within these massive broilers,
afire in the African sun and reel
ing under the shock of shellfire,
challenges the imagination.

In Syria the French fight the
melancholy battle of despera
tion and their resistance is stub
born and hard against an assail
ant who is not an enemy and
has not much heart for his work.
Why this fight against the Brit
ish invading columns is so fierce
can be explained by a new re
port of the collaboration terms
between France and her Ger
man conqueror.
According to this story the
Germans laid down the rule
that it was up to the French to
use their own men to defend
their own territory; but, that
once such territory was success
fully Invested by the British,
the Germans would in their own
good time move In for keeps
and the French never would get
the territory back.
Thus the soldiers of Vichy are
spurred to arms not only by the
physical fact that a British in
vader is on their soil, but by
what, for them, is far worse
the specter of Irretrievable loss
of their empire to the Germans
who stamp, already, across half
their homeland. Thus they make
use of what weapons they can
even the airplanes of the con
queror.
Department stores in Wash
ington, D. C, are more than
20 percent higher than a year
ago because of the influx of de
fense workers.
