How COULD the British parliament refuse to
uphold a leader as honest and direct and fearless as
Winston Churchill?
Certainly in all the war-world no "chief" like
"Winnie". '
Once more he stands on his two feet in parliament,
faces his accusers and the world, and admitting
another grave disaster, places on his own drooping,
but stalwart shoulders, the entire responsibility.
Again it is only "blood, sweat and tears." But with
courage unabated, determination only greater,
Churchill asks to retain the reins of government and
the request is granted amid cheers, to the tune of a
landslide vote with only 25 dissenters out of 500!
A great victory, a great man, yes and a great
country! The British ship of state may go down this
time, though we doubt it, but the flag at the top
most peak never will !
a
JUST imagine any other war leader admitting dam-
aging facts like these :
The Axis powers In the battle of Libya had 10,000 less
men than Britain. They were inferior In tanks to the tune
of 5 to 7, and in artillery it was 5 to 8.
Yet the British army was split In half and scattered,
losing 90,000 men and tremendous war stores.
Imagine Hitler, Mussolini, Hirohito, Stalin yes
even President Roosevelt taking the rap in that
fashion, and with "head bloody but unbowed" com
ing up for more !
It just isn't done in any other war circles and
couldn't be, by any other leader. In all the world no
man like this.
If Rudyard Kipling were alive, WHAT an epic
he would write about Winston Churchill, Prime Min
ister of Great Britain in World War No. 2!
It Isn 't the "Last Battle "
Well the war situation doesn't look so good today.
But as far as England is concerned, there is one
point that should not be forgotten, two in fact.
No. 1. In the world war Germany broke the British
lines in France and it looked like curtains for J. Bull.
But that famous "backs-to-the-wall-do-or-die" mani
festo issued by Marshal Haig, stemmed the tide. Not
only were the Germans turned back but only a few
months later, the war was over. England's habit of
winning no battles but the last one therefore might
well be borne in mind.
MO. 2. When Mr. Churchill was in Washington,
" members of the congress were told off the
record, that Rommel was in for the surprise of his
life if he tried to get very far into Lgypt. According
to. all reports the Congressmen were visibly cheered
by the facts thus confidentially revealed.
Well we grant it isn t very LIKbLY. But it may be
true, that the British are falling back with a definite
purpose, not because they HAVE to, but because
they have a trap all ready for the Nazi "fox."
It does no harm at least, to gam what cheer is
possible in the surrounding gloom from a survey of
the past and present record.
Medford s Camp for Boys
It is a refreshing diversion to turn from the war
for a brief time and center attention upon the young
sters of this community and their forthcoming sum
mer camp opening next Tuesday, July 7th.
Again, the salvation Army will conduct a camp
at scenic Lake o' the Woods and two full weeks of
wholesome outdoor fun will be provided for boys
and girls who otherwise might miss the joys and
benefits of a vacation in the mountains.
The summer camp program was initiated last year
by George A. Hunt and his associates with the coop
eration of the Salvation Army and the Jackson
County Public Welfare Commission. The same spon
sors, elated by the widespread interest in the camp
a year ago, are handling the project again on a bigger
and better scale than before.
rROM the very start the boys' and girls' summer
camp idea struck a responsive chord with local
citizens and financial assistance was immediately
forthcoming. It is more apparent than ever this year
that the camp should be a COMMUNITY program.
Here we have our average quota of youngsters who
would otherwise be deprived of the joy of a vacation
time outing. They should have this two-weeks camp-
ng treat and WILL have it, because of the generos
ity of the summer camp sponsors and public spirited
local people.
Again, the opportunity for the public to have a
part in this commendable program is provided. Those
vho wish to contribute may do so, and the theatres
of this city will become receiving stations for summer
camp funds.
IT should be emphasized here that this summer camp
1 outing is planned for boys and girls UNDER 14
YEARS OF AGE, because of the urgent and imme
diate need for youthful workers in Rogue River Val
ley orchards and farms.
THROUGH the cooperation of the Rogue River
To rr n 1 Vriravt rrrri?-MTofirn VtAPA Visa onqAinna
forestry camp at Lake o' the Woods has been placed
at the disposal of the Salvation Army, supervisors
of the summer outing. This camp, formerly occupied
by CCC boys, provides dormitories, assembly and
mess halls, and other typical camp accommodations,
I)cal organizations and individuals have generously
seen that needed equipment and boats are in readi
ness for the first contingent of youngsters next lues
day. I TN'DER the kindly and understanding guidance of
experianced Salvation Army folk there will be
swimming, boating, hiking and general camp activi-
ties in the fresh and invigorating atmosphere of this i
delightful summer camp. In addition to recreational j
features there will be well-planned educational,
patriotic and devotional activities and they all add ;
up to a grand vacation for these young "campers". '
THERE have been many demands upon the family
budget these days, but certainly it is not too
much to ask of those who plan a vacation this summer
to share some of the fun with these less fortunate
but thoroughly deserving youngsters.
A word to the generous should be sufficient. The
more contributions received, the greater will be the,
number of boys and girls at the Lake o' the Woods
camp this summer. H.G.
Revival of Walking
Week-end experience of the Atlantic coast popula
tion with gasoline rationing offers a vivid illustration
of how finely the motor car is woven into the fabric
of national custom. Millions of citizens have seen the
automobile disappear from their daily lives except
for occasional short trips.
Any general attempt to return to the horse and
buggy does not even suggest itself as a satisfactory
substitute. Instead, the citizen whose gasoline has
been curtailed is walking.
The horse and buggy habit had behind it an elab
orate economic equipment, including stable, boxstall,
bay mow, feed box and harness. Buggies had to be
washed, their spindles oiled and bolts tightened.
Harness had to be cleaned, oiled and adjusted.
Horses had to be shod, fed, watered, curried and bed
ded down. There are millions of men today who can
not put a harness on a horse and attach the critter
to the shafts. Presented with a nag, they would not
know how to drive him. v
To them the operation of an automobile has be
come all but automatic. The operation of a horse and
buggy would disorder their nervous system. So east
erners have reduced the number of their trips, short
ened the trips and are walking. And what easterners
are doing now people in all parts of the country may
soon be doing, including those who prefer bikes.

about the superfluous fat must

We may regard all obesity or

as briskly as It should.
Deficiency of Iodine in food
and water, in many regions Is
one reason why the vital fire
tends to smoulder.
Another reason why the oxi
dation process tends to slow
down Is ultro-refinement of the
modern diet which removes
from natural food most of the
vitamins. Universal shortage of
vitamins manifest itself In poor
metabolism. This applies espe
cially to the combustion of car
bohydrate material, starches and
sugars In the refined or purified
stale such food Is the source of
most of the daily calories in the
modern diet. Since refinement
processes remove most of the
vitamins which the body re
quires for complete utilization
or oxidation of carbohydrate,
the unburned portion is stored
as fat.

To support such a program,
the United States would have to
provide 5,000 tons of crude rub

tons of scrap this year; 71,200 in
1943; 67,600 in 1944; 53,000 in
1945.
While the current drive is of

POLITICAL potentialities of
gas rationing are not being
overlooked.
Repub lican Representative
Stevenson of Wisconsin wrote
Rationer Leon Henderson ask
ing that gas allowances be made
for rural voters .to go to the
polls in the east on election day.
He got a letter back promising
only that if Mr. Roosevelt de
cides on national gas rationing,
provision would be made.
No allowances will be made
for primaries.
The rural sections of the east
are generally republican, the
cities generally democratic. A
close election could be decided
if gas rationing or any other
cause kept farmers from the
polls in considerable numbers.

CKITTISH citizens have been
" wondering why Messrs.
Roosevelt and Churchill have
been telling Hitler they will
start a second front, if they
really Intended to do it. The
element of surprise has been
lost, they fear.
Not at all. Hitler has been
able to observe the preparations
in Britain, just as Holland, Bel
gium and France were able to
observe his preparations for the
invasion that struck them as a
surprise when it fell.
Some things cannot be kept
secret in war. Collection of
hundreds of thousands of troops
is one.
But Hitler, you will recall,
staged fake alarms and other
wise confused his foes by criss
crossing rumors to such an ex
tent, they hardly believed the
final alarm when it came.
The current confusion as to
whether or not there will be a
second front this year is already
serving a similar purpose for
us.
Most Washlngtonians are even
now betting there will not be a
second front this year. To them.
certainly It will come as a sur
i prise.

i'T'HE front row of officialdom

wholly unprepared for the ex

Even after the British were
put into retreat, everyone agreed
they enjoyed not only superior

no one could figure that the re
treat would be disastrous or
even very harmful.

At a joint meeting held Wednesday morning, July l$t, between the
representative of organized labor and the Contractors Medford Can
tonment, a resolution was adopted that, for the good of the cause,
Independence Day has been declared a regular work day the same
as any other Saturday. All parties concerned will put on a special
drive for the sale of U. S. Defense Bonds on July 4th.
The men on the work will be circularized with the following "Spe
cial Authority" card:
"SPECIAL AUTHORIZATION FOR PURCHASE OF
UNITED STATES DEFENSE BONDS
I hereby authorize you to deduct from my earnings for July 4,
1942 $ which is to apply on the purchase price of a
United States Defense Bond with maturity value of $
Additional payments, if required, will be deducted from my
earnings for week ending July 11, 1942. It is understood that
the Contractors Medford Cantonment will apply an amount equal
to the deduction made on July 4th for the purchase of Defense
Bonds.
Date
Employee's Signature
Division Badge No
(This authorization to be given to your Division Timekeeper on
or before July 6th, 1942)"
The Contractors Medford Cantonment have agreed to match dollar
for dollar and will purchase bonds to the total of all employees' auth
orized deductions from earnings of July 4th. This will be the Con
tractors' subscription to this "Special Fund".
All deductions authorized by the workmen will be on a voluntary
basis and nothing is being or will be done to compel any one to sub
scribe who does not desire to do so.
The above action taken is subscribed to jointly by the Construction
and Building Trades Council, the Contractors Medford Cantonment
and the Area Engineer.
Let's all join in and give Uncle Sam's pocket book a big boost, help
meet Jackson County's July quota of bond sales and do a good deed
on Independence Day.
