Rubber!
We are informed, (from unimpeachable sources),
that the best supply of scrap rubber in Southern Ore
gon can be found on our fruit ranches. The trouble
is, many rancLers have forgotten them, the spray
hoses that have worn out and been discarded. per
haps now on the scrap heap or under the barn.
Well, with a national drive on for scrap rubber,
which, if large enough may render a national gas
rationing unnecessary we should say, NOW is the
time for the ranch owners to investigate the matter,
and report to the proper authorities.
Also, if spray hoses, why not garden hoses, which
also have outlived their usefulness but still contain
large quantities of recoverable gutta-percha?
And then there are old hot-water bags, boots, and
rubber blankets for little Roger, or Rebecca, when
they were younger and more frequently in need of
them!
IN short a national rubber drive is on, and now is
the time to come to the aid of the country, with
every scrap of convertible rubber the premises can
produce.
The more "we the people" round up rubber now
the better the chances of removing one of the most
serious obstacles to our maximum war effort, reduc
ing a large share of our transportation system from
a run to a walk!
The drive is on let one and all go to it!
The Russian Miracle
Wars are won, or lost, by heads and hearts,
particularly the latter.
It is called the "fighting heart".
In the present crucial struggle between Soviet Rus
sia and Fascist Germany, the Nazis have all the bet
ter of it, as far as the head is concerned.
But the heart, that is a very different matter.
Neeley Farson. well known foreign war corres
pondent, has just returned to London after several
months in Russia. In his first article of a series pub
lished in the Oregonian,
been a growing conviction in this department, name
ly, as far as 'the fighting heart is concerned Russia
today yields first place to no land.
Judging the present by the past, practically every
military expert in the world, when Hitler a year ago
attacked Russia, predicted the Muscovites would
crumble in a month to six weeks. Russia they grant
ed had the numbers, raw materials and better indus
trial production than most experts realized, but lack
ed the "fighting heart."
That had been true in World War No. I. There
was no yellow etreak in the Czars forces, but there
was an absence of stamina, of morale, extensive de
moralization in fact, and in tight places a marked
willingness to quit
IT didn't take the military experts long, however,
(particularly in Germany) to learn that the Rus
sian forces under Stalin, were a very different kettle
of fish. The tighter the spot the harder the red
troops fought. This was not only the spirit of the
army but the spirit of the men and women behind
the front.
HETHER this spiritual regeneration, will
Drove sufficient to overcome the superior
technical skill, leadership, and ruthlessness of the
German high command, remains to be seen.
This much is certain. The same military experts
who a year ago were so sure Hitler would win, are
now just as sure his chances are no better than 50-50.
And the judgment in Washington is practically
unanimous that if Germany doesn't crush Russia this
year, Russia will crush Germany the next i
HOWEVER that may be, the point we wish to
emphasize today, is the "Russian Miracle",
the transformation of the Russian giant, from a
clumsy, vulnerable, lethargic bungler, to an aroused,
alert and determined colossus, forced to yield from
time to time perhaps, but fighting all the time for
every inchl
It is as we see it, the one most hopeful factor in
the united nations picture; an imponderable at the
present writing, but what may well prove to be the
straw that will break the Axis camel's back!
Flag
In the Art and Industries building of the National
Museum at Washington, on the western wall, hangs
lhe United States flag which, in 1S14. wave' defi
ance to the British on Fort McIIenry, and which
inspired Francis Scott Key to compose "The Star
Spangled Banner."
That piece of bunting is now tarnished and frail
with age. Its blue is dark as night, its red is faded to
a light pink, its white is the tint of an old parchment.
But it is still there.
The flag means to each American no more than
he brings to it. What he can bring to it now is sug
gested in a poem of the poet, A. E. Housnian, whose
manuscripts repose in the Library of Congress. It
runs:
I will go where I am wanted
Where there s room for one or two;
And the men are none too many
For the work there is to do.
The signul (ires of warning
They blare, hut none renard:
And on through night to morning

Yes, the world runs ruinward, but there are still a
few free flags loft flying, of which the Stars and
Stripes is one. Never did Old Glon mean so much

Inches but her chest or "bust"
measure wnicn had been 38 was
only 33, while her hip measure,
which had been 40 inches was
now 46 inches. She had ac
quired "piano legs," a girdle of
fat around the body at hip level,
fat pads on the thighs above the
knees, and a rather scrawny or
gaunt appearance in the upper

pads on the upper arms. She had
accumulated about thirty

occurred simultaneously with
a carbohydrate gorge Induced

abnormal self-denial but such
carbohydrate gorges or sprees of
overindulgence in candy, sweets,

of hypopituitarism. So is In

Handle Raid Risk
: By John W. Kelly -
Washington, D. C, June 13
A Portland doctor discovered
several years ago that an excel
lent bandage can be made from
an old silk stocking. A run in
the hose is Immaterial. The idea
recently came to the attention
of a west coast society which is
raising funds and material for
the Chinese so they put on a
drive and collected thousands of
silk stockings. Next step was - as in lhe midwc5t where people
to get the material across the8re supDose(j to be as safe as a
Pacific at the lowest freight cost bug in rug Cf course, if a
obtainable.
Someone had a happy
thought. Boeing aircraft fac
tory In Seattle is making and
shipping parts to China. Why
not use the stockings as packing,
for the parts? Boeing officials
were willing, but There are
regulations now on everything,
and one of the difficulties is to
discover which particular fed-
eral agency has control of this
or that. After much inquiry it
was learned that while imported
silk is under control, there is no
salvage plan for old silk for par-
chutes. Another agency (lend
lease) gafe the proposal the nod
and war production board grant-
ed permission. Now when an
airplane part is being crated for
the Chinese It is stuffed around
with silk stockings and the
Chinese wounded, within a cou-
pie of months, will be wearing
silk that orlginaly came from
Japan,
