What a
Leon Henderson, and other key officials in Wash
ington, are weeping and wailing because their various
and sundry appropriations have been cut-down.
The CCC has been cut off entirely.
The Department of Agriculture wants the modest
sum of $680,000,000 and
but nothine has been
ous and sundry other federal departments, the grand
and glorious spending spree, appears to be slowing
down somewhat, and easy money seems to be dwind
ling a trifle. As a result one hears a terrific tearing
of shirts and gnashing of molars in the check-writing
departments, as the congress adjourns for the week
end holiday.
WELL, as in all such reactions, the economy drive
may be overdone and some regrettable disloca
tions result. Rut all in all. this determination in Wash
ington to cut expenditures,
conduct or the war TU THE bume, ana divert, we
savings to what must be done at the front, strikes this
column as both refreshing
Par-tain lv thin much is
indiscriminate spending that has been going on ever
sine rwomher 7th last, not onlv for war. but for
relief, social advancement,

SO we heartily welcome this sudden change of front
in the halls and committee rooms of the congress,
a determination to at least secure a temporary
riroarhino" nnH. arlrl lin a few totals. See how mivih
money Uncle Sam really has stored away in the old
sock, and take a few practical financial bearings
before the order to go full-steam-ahead is again an
nounced.
What About Sebastopol?
We are asked to settle a wager: Mr. A says Sevas
topol HAS fallen: Mr. B, says it HASN'T. Who is
right?
Sorry, boys, but it can t
tance.
We have our own idea,
money on. However if you insist, here goes:
It's a draw. Both A and B are right, from one
angle, both wrong from another.
A. is-right when he says Sevastopol has fallen be
cause the main citadel did fall into German hands
Wednesday last.
B is right when he says it hasn't, because there was
no formal surrender on the part of the Red comman
der, he withdrew, retreating slowly through the
environs, to maintain a holding action, while he
made it possible for the main force to escape.
SO to decide this wager one would have to FIRST
have an exact technical definition of what "to
fall" in modern warfare means.
If it means "surrender" by the defenders, a wins.
If it means the loss of control of the chief strategic
point and a DECISION in favor of the attackers,
"A" wins.
Without any such clear-cut definition of terms,
however, this department will be compelled, with the
information available, to raise both hands and de
clare all bets off.

citizens here will welcome the announcement that the

about.
Just how long the forests here will remain open

General DeWitt, commander 01 the western aeiense
area, of Oregon's Governor Sprague and of forestry
officials here. Sensible precautions MUST be taken
no smoking while traveling on forest roads, no camp
fires without permits except on improved and posted
camp grounds, no fire-building without the always
important axe, shovel and water bucket at hand.
HE danger of forest fires is always imminent in
seasons such as this, when temperature is high
and humidity low. If the utmost care is practiced by
all who enter the woods, we may get through this
season without serious trouble.
Destruction of forests by
criminal, but in war-time
born of a thoughtless act can be just as damaging to
our war effort, just as costly in vitally-needed lumber,
just as helpful to the Axis cause, as the fire set by
the saboteur.
AND so, it is the duty of every man, woman and
child who enters the forests tomorrow to see that
no careless act will make them unintentional sabo

fires in northwest forests now are sabotage.
The forests are open, the

we will accent the responsibility and trust which they
have reposed in us.

questions readers submit by

not, correspondents accuse me
of swiping the stamps from their
self-addressed envelopes and
throwing their letters In the

are right. But most of the time
the letter is waiting here on my
desk, until I can ponder the
problem carefully and send the
answer I d want if I were in the

A gram is the metric unit of
weight the weight of a cubic
centimeter of water at a temper
ature of 4 degrees C, (about 39
degrees F., a few degrees above
freezing). A milligram img.j is
one-thousandth of a gram. A
microKram is one-thousandth of
a milligram. Sometimes, to make
it harder, micrograms are cauea
'gamma". Now a gram is ap
proximately equal to 15V4 grains.
A milligram is approximately
equal to l65th of a grain. A
michogram is approximately

of a gram. Please don't

AMMAS AND THINGST
One international unit of vita
min A is now considered to be
0.8 microgram, or slightly more
than one-half of one-millionth
of a gram, or the better half of
a gamma.
And It Is astonishing how
many laymen want to know
about gammas and things. They
complain almost daily because
Webster ducked gammas in his
last edition. Huh that isn't the
half of it.

been a aufferer for 38 years. With
the sores at their worst X do not eat.
Have been hoepltallsed for four

The great bulk of vacant
stores on Main street so far,
however, are those formerly oc

Food and drug stores are do

but In some rural areas, a large
number of people have left for
the army or defense Jobs, and
these sections are suffering.
Wall Street is shot. The
amusements businesses offer
contrasts as wide as industry.
Those in boom areas, which do
not depend on motor trade, are
profiting, the others are losing
out. Seaside beach resorts are
living from hand to mouth, and
so ara the summer vacation

dead.

Life insurance business Is not
good, because the white collar
people who buy it generally, are
hurt deeply by the war econ-(j

whose income is being increas

this country (mostly teachers,

much less sugar but do not

Gas dealers cut their overhead

ing and elimination of Sunday
service hereabouts, but the cost
of gas has gone up more than 3
cents since the first of the year.
The oil Industry was a boom
