Pearl Harbor A vengers
MEXT Sunday will mark the elapse of just six
months since Jap bombs fell upon Pearl Harbor.
Much has been accomplished within this brief
six months. American ships, planes and fighting
men are on far flung battle fronts. War production
has reached a tempo that has astonished the world.
The victory of the Coral Sea, the bombing of
Tokyo, the pounding of German industrial centers
to dust by great armadas of the air these are
encouraging signs of what the future has in store.
There is, however, little tangible reason for much
optimism at this stage of the fight We must, by all
means, be realistic in a thoroughly realistic world.
ACTUALLY, we have won no real campaigns,
conquered no enemy territory. After all, wars
are not won without major victories, lo anticipate
military successes before they are accomplished fact,
to give over to optimism that is unwarranted, can
only retard our vital war effort. It is dangerous!
We WILL win the victories just as soon as the
full military might of America and her allies is
brought into play. ,But let us not celebrate them
t- -1. sf a a.. tliA "irkAtrif o KIa Til irn n h "
is definitely in sight. Our foe is fighting for his life.
He will not give up easily or quickly.
In the meantime, there are stern days ahead. The
bombing of Pearl Harbor, however, made our course
clear. We are faced with but one duty and 'one
choice. We are convinced of the righteousness of
our cause. To that cause we have solemnly pledged
our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.
THE role of the U. S. Navy is a gigantic one.
Before bold attacks and spectacular-engagements
can be attempted there is the important,
though less dramatic task of convoying ships to
distant battle grounds ana pairomng me inuusanus
cf miles of home shores.
It is a bij job a job that will call for more and
more men and ships.
And so, to mark the passing of six months since
the treacherous bombing of Pearl Harbor, the navy
will observe the occasion in the-only way the axis
will undsrstand with a nation-wide campaign for
more fighting men.
They will be known as the "Avengers of Pearl
Harbor." This community
of them to swell the navy
JUST the other day one thousand Texans volun

They will be speedily trained to man the new Hous
ton ready to avenge the Java Sea sinking.
Probably this ceremony was inspiration lor uie
r.ation-wide ceremony next Sunday when "Avengers
of Peavl Harbor" will take the oath in cities and
hamleta throughout the nation.
. .
ESPECIALLY grat is the need for young men
1 with tpphm'pal training. There is exceptional
opportunity for high school graduates opportuni
ties for immediate and useful training in numerous
fioida r-Junrps for nmnletion of a full colleee edu
cation followed by naval
school. The navy's farsighted program is aimea ai
a back-log of talent for future years.
Tn thnao whn hnnfl for a sdendid education, for
adventure and travel, and
needed service to their country, tne unitea ouue&
navy has much to offer.
We hope that young men here will recognize this
opportunity and will become "Avengers of Pearl

From Waahlagtoa, D. C
Few Cart Running
Year From Now
Defense Worker
Facing Problem
Babies Barred
For WAAC
By Jeha W. Kelly .
Washington, D. C, June 1
A survey reveals that one year
from today only 13 per cent of
all the passenger automobiles
now licensed will be in service
in the Pacific northwest The
remainder, the 87 per cent, will
be Junk, a body without tires,
regardless of the optimism of
President Roosevelt, who be
lieves some substitute for rub
ber will be discovered and the
civilian population will drive on
that unknown ersatz.
By the end of three months
20 per cent of the cart will be
off the road. In six months an
other 30 per cent will be per
manently disposed of in "grave
yard or garage, and 37 per cent
will struggle along for 12
months on present rubber.
These cars account for the 87
per cent. Only eight per cent
of present cars will be rolling
for 18 months and only four per
cent expect to be running by
May, 1944. Cars with new tires
and only a short distance to
travel daily represent the one
per cent calculated to be on
rubber for four years to May,
1946.
And that, according to a sur
vey, accounts for all the pas
senger cars now cluttering
northwest highways and streets.
If the war continues four more
years only one per cent of all
present cars will see the finish.
From WPB down to OPA the
statement is made that no genu
ine rubber nor any plastic sub
stitute will be available for ci
vilians for at least three years,
if then. This Is one fact that
sticks out in all this discussion
of rubber.
THE survey has been taken
with particular attention to the
west coast because of the bil
lions of dollars of war contracts
now under way in that section.
Transportation is vital and with
out tires the whole program
will be slowed down. How
long present tires will last was
estimated by workers. It is as
serted that the west coast sur
vey is similar to sampling in
other sections of the country:
that it reflects the entire condi
tion from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
Eighty per cent or more
working in western war plants,
whether in Los Angeles, Seattle
or Portland, use automobiles in
reaching their Jobs when there
is insufficient means for han
dling mass transportation. The
study discloses also that the full
capacity of a car is not used.
Full capacity is rated at 4.4 per
sons, but the average car has a
load of 1.8, which includes the
driver. Capacity load is being
urged upon all drivers to save
tires, and if the driver charges
a dime for each passenger for
gasoline and wear on tires that
is O.K. with the office of de
fense transportation, at whose
head is Joseph Eastman, bor
rowed for the Job from inter
state commerce commission.
Bear in mind the name East
man and the ODT, for Eastman
and his organization will be the
last word on moving of pas
sengers and freight; for priori
ties on seats in a bus or rail
road coach in the days ahead.
It will be his job to see that,
somehow, workers in war indus
tries arrive at their place of
employment. If drivers do not
carry a capacity load volun
tarily they will be compelled to
do so. Staggering hours will be
adopted to keep mass transpor
tation operating at top speed.
No steel rails are available for
extension of street ear lines and
buses are hard to get.
THE scores of small dehy
drating plants In the northwest
will be provided with finances
to exnand and given a guaranty
that their product will be sold
at a profit. This is the latest
plan of the department of agri
culture to Increase production
of foodstuff and preserve it. A
recent compilation of all the
establishments, large and small,
in Oregon and Washington was
submitted to the department.
giving capacity of each and the
type of vegetable or fruit in the j
vicinity of each plant. Tha com
Dilation was prepared to show I
Secretary W 1 e k r d ' agency
what could be expected if a
large dehydrating program was
proposed. Secretary Wickard is
now making hia proposition; he
desires all the dehydrated fruits
and vegetables the plans can
process and if money is needed
to enlarge facilities he will see
that the processor obtains it.
Food in this condensed form Is
for lend-lease.
ORDERS of army officers
that members of the women's
auxiliary corps will not be per
mitted to have babies have not
slowed down the rush to Join
the organization. If a WAAC
wishes to have a baby she will
be given an honorable discharge
as quickly as the papers can be
made out War department is
quite strict about this, aa in
their service the WAAC may be
sent to any part of the world
where American troops are op
erating. No difficulty is ex
pected in recruiting to the full
strength of the corps (possibly
because of the uniform), but the
army is having all aorta of
trouble in finding enough
nurses, Job which pays better
than for privates In the WAAC
organization.

HALT IS CALLED
Boy and Girl Scouts have
"licked" the waste paper sal

according to word received to
day from the national head
quarters of the Boy Scouts of

read. "Representatives of paper

in collection waste paper that

Boy Scouts of the Crater

county, Calif., have done more
than their share in this nation
wide program. Girl Scouts
have worked on the same prob
lem in Medford and locally 400,-
000 pounds of paper have been
shipped to reduction plants.
This represents close to eight
carloads which has been col
lected, sorted and bundled by
these groups.
Local citizens who have suit
able storage space are asked to
continue saving newspapers and
magazinea as they may be
needed again this fall. Other
types of paper should again be
destroyed as they create a con

further collections will be made
by the Boy Scouts and Girl

notice.
