L
OF NAZI UPHEAVAL
Washington, July 21 (U.R)
Secretary of State Cordcll Hull,
warning against "over opti
mism" said today the attack on
Adolf Hitler clearly indicates
that the realization of Ger
many's "Impending defeat" is
spreading in the Reich.
The appointment of Helnrlch
Hlmmler as commander in chief
of the home front, Hull said in
a formal statement, is an illus
tration of the "steadily deterior
ating military position of Ger
many." But he warned:
"We should intensify our ef
forts here at home to bring
about and make all the sooner
and more certain the defeat of
our enemies."

What the Girl Scouts
Are Doing
Just another week and the
Girl Scouts will be on their way
to Camp McLoughlin at Lake o'
Woods for the first camp period.
To the great majority of the
girls it will be a renewal of a
happy and exciting experience,
while to the "first-time" camp
ers it will be just an invitation
for many more such experiences.
The water front beckons with
opportunities for boating and
swimming, or just Dlain sun-
tanning. The surrounding coun
tryside lures hikers, horseback
riders, and nature hobbyists.
while camp itself offers those
who like archery, campcraft,
and outdoor cookers, a chance
to try their hand at it.
Campers are divided into
units, according to their school
grades. Mrs. Iva Dobbs Murray
will be in charge of the Gypsy
Unit, Mrs. Rollin Jones in charge
of the Foresters and Mrs. J. H.
Guiberson, of Grants Pass, in
charge of the Senior Girl Scouts,
or the Priate Unit, Our staff is
not yet complete but we do
know that the unit assistants will
be Mrs. Ivan Davies, Mrs. Cath
erine Neeley and Mrs. L. Rentz,
Program leaders will be Mrs.
L. Rentz, campcraft; Mrs. Mary
Duby, waterfront; Mrs. Cather
ine Neeley, hiking and nature
lore; Miss June Williams, song
leader; Miss Audrey Jarmin,
archery; Betty Larvvood, a camp
er, will be camp librarian.
Health of the whole camp fam
ily will be in the very able care
of Miss Margaret Van Scoyoc.
Mrs. Leona Boyd, of Ashland,
will cook for us.
Mrs. R. H. Hamblin, the camp
director, urges every camper to
be sure to have her health cer
tificates with her when she ar
rives at Scout House at 9 a. m.
August 1. No would-be camper
will be permitted to board the
bus unless she has these two
certificates with her. To help the
girls off to an early start the
parent are invited to bring bed
rolls and baggage to Scout
House the day previous, July
31, to be tagged. Also, if the
camp fee is paid beforehand and
the ration stamps turned in (1
red and 1 blue), the bus can
leave for Lake o' Woods that
much earlier.

BY CENTRALIZING
"A central truck tire Inspec
tion station has been opened in
Medford and all truck, imple
ment, pickup or any other ve
hicle with an O.D.T. certificate
will have to have a clearance
through this station before the
applications can be acted upon
by the ration board," it was
stated today by J. H. Hedrlc, as
sociate district mileage ration
ing representative who is in
Medford getting the central in
spection station under way. "As
far as the applicant is concern
ed, the method of inspection has
not been changed. He must still
have his tires inspected at one
of the seven authorized truck
tire inspection stations. These
stations are the Sam Jennings
Tire Co., Firestone Stores, Haw
kinson Tire and Tread Service,
Medford Service Station and
Lewis Super Service, all in
Medford, Don and Betty's Sta
tion at Eagle Point and Krupp's
Service Station In Central Point.
"The, central Inspection sta
tion in all communities where
it has been tried has done a good
job in saving rubber," Mr. Hed
ric says. "In some boards such
as Grants Pass, for instance,

found ready for the scrap pile
has been re-capped and put to
work again. The extreme ser
iousness of the truck tire situa
tion is just beginning to be re
alized by truckers and any
method that will make It pos
sible to stretch the useful life
of these tires must be used," he
adds.
"The local ration board can
not possibly supply the demand
for large size truck tires," L. L:
Ternahan, executive secretary
of the local OPA, reports," but
the very best use of these tires
for the good of the war effort
is promised. In line with a re
cent ruling, absolutely no large
size tires will be released except
at the regular bi-weekly meet
ings, Ternahan states, adding,
"In view of the fact that the
members of the tire panels are!
all volunteers who have busi-!
nesses of their own and who do
not like to be telephoned or
otherwise contacted during busi-!
ness hours, I have been asked to
point out to all tire users that
absolutely no tires of any kind
will be Issued except through
the panel at a regular meeting, i
"There Is only one exception
to this rule if a tire Is blown
out and there is no spare on a
trnrlt Aftlinllv lnnri.H whh llvr.. !
stock, a tire certificate may be'
Issued between board meetings
if the quota is not exhausted."
