COUNTY OFFICIALS '
CALL UPON ALL TO
HEED BLACKOUTS
The Jackson county court to
day called upon all residents ot
the county and particularly
rural residents to comply strictly
with all blackout and other mili
tary orders. The courfs state
ment, signed by Judge J. B.
Coleman and Commissioners
William Perry and A. E. Powell
and approved by Capt. S. M.
Tuttle, chairman of the Jackson
County Council of defense, fol
lows: "It has come to the notice of
the county court that many peo
ple living in the rural areas do
not seem to be aware of the
seriousness of the blackouts
which are being put Into effect
each night along the Pacific
coast. These blackouts are not
a local affair but are ordered by
the war department as a mili
tary necessity for the protection
of the public as well as military
objectives.
The county court wishes to
urge the fullest cooperation
with the blackout rules and reg
ulations by every citizen in
Jackson county. AH farm homes
should be darkened during
blackout hours, as well as city
hpmes.
f'Farmcrs and dairymen whose
work requires them to use
lights in the early morning
hours should equip their barns
with shaded lights and use as
few lights as possible. Do not
use outdoor or flood lights at
all.
"It is emphasized that failure
to comply with blackout regula
tions in time of war is punish
able with heavy fines or im
prisonment. "America Is at war. We call
upon each citizen of Jackson
county to do his part in bringing
this war to a successful conclu
sion." CLEAR PUD WAY

and Vigan indicated that only
U. S. army and navy planes, not
warships, repulsed the attack.
Previously, a German broad
cast had reported without con
firmation that great sea battle
between the United States and
Japanese navies was raging off
Manila.
Manila, the Philippine capital,
is on Luzon Island.
"Our first bombing attacks on
six transports at Vigan resulted
in direct hits on three hostile
ships and damage to the remain
ing three, one ship capsizing and
sinking immediately, the war
department said.
The communique was the first
report of an American victory
in the 4-day-old conflict now
flaming across thousands of
miles in the Pacific.
Japs Exult
Far to the southwest, the
Dutch Indies rushed powerful
reinforcements of warships and
planes Into the battle of north
ern Malaya, while in Japan, the
nation wildly celebrated crush
ing blows to Britain's Asiatic
fleet the acknowledged sink
ing of the new 35,000-ton British
battleship Prince of Wales and
the 32,000-ton battle cruiser Re
pulse off the Malay coast.
British Minister Alfred Duff
Cooper announced in a broad
cast from Singapore that there
had been considerable loss of
life on the Prince of Wales and
the Repulse.
The two ships carried a nor
mal complement totaling more
than 3,000 officers and men.
With the Japanese striking
savagely to drive down the Ma
lay peninsula against Singapore,
dispatches from the far east said
Dutch bombers and fighters had
already Joined British, Austra
lian and New Zealand airmen
who have been pounding Japa
nese transports and land bases
in southern Thailand since dawn
Monday.
Dutch warships have also gone
Into action against the invaders,
the dispatches said, battling to
check Japan' sharpest new
threat to Singapore at Kuantan,
on the Malay east coast 200
miles north ot Singapore.
Medford this afternoon the
board decided, because of the
swift turn of events in the past
few days, to gather up all loose
ends and get back actively on

coordinator. It was planned to
reopen the board's office in the

mixed although plus signs were
numerous. Practically every
thing in the losing division

'TOJO' LANDS IN
POLICE CUSTODY
Police Officer William W.
O'Brien came into the station
nouse during the night lugging
what to all intents and purposes
appeared to be a man somewhat
under the weather.
The man was a life-sized dum
my labeled "Tojo." By a coin
cidence the Japanese premier's
name is Tojo. The dummy wore
blue pants and a blue Boy Scout
Cub jacket from which identi
fying insignia but not the brass
buttons had been torn. The head
was made of a gunny sack.
Officer O'Brien found "Tojo"
hanging from a street light post.
