Be Careful
The Medford headquarters of the Rogue river
National Forest received this telegram Saturday from
the assistant regional forester, chief of the division of
fire control :
"Region-wide fire conditions critical. Suggest forces be
alerted. Might advise selected forest industrial operators
be on alert over week-end to furnish crews."
This warning especially applies to Jackson county
rieht now. The humidity and fuel moisture at the
southern end of this county was the lowest Saturday
of anv day since records
years ago. That simply means that the fire hazard
right now is greater than it has been in many years.
The utmost caution must be exercised by EVERY
ONE who has cause to enter the woods during the
next few days or until existing conditions change.
IT was Shakespeare who said "A little fire is quickly
trodden out; which, being suffered, rivers cannot
cmench." The Bard was right. The terrible and de
structive Tillamook fire of a decade ago will long be
a grim reminder to Oregonians of the devastating
estate of a small blaze not
forest.
WE simply cannot afford to risk a fire now. First
of all, lumber is a number-one critical war ma
terial, and Jackson county's 49 mills are producing
millions of dollars worth for urgently needed war
uses. Our present annual lumber payroll exceeds three
million dollars; 12,000 persons directly and indirectly
receive their livelihood from this industry. A lot of
jobs are at stake.
We cannot afford to spare the manpower to fight
fire at this time. The fruit season is at its peak. Every
available person is employed in this and other lm-
portant work. To be forced to divert manpower to I

fXE cannot endanger our greatest single resource
" timber. We cannot stand the loss of water
sheds, the source of municipal and irrigation waters.
We cannot spare the scenic attractions and the wild
life of our forests.
No, we just cannot risk a forest fire now. If all will
take this forest service warning to heart and practice
the utmost vigilance and caution, we can weather
this danger period. The forests belong to everyone.
It is everyone's responsibility to protect it! H.G.
Orchids To the Red Cross
A check-up on Jackson county's home front war
effort reveals a record chalked up by the Surgical
Dressing department of the Red Cross that will bring
a glow of pride to everyone here. If medals were
awarded for outstanding civilian accomplishment the
Red Cross bandage makers would certainly deserve
them for truly "distinguished service".
DEFORE the invasion of Italy and France America's
military forces called for 100 million surgical
dressings every month. There was no way of foresee
ing the human cost of these gigantic undertakings
and the Army and Navy had to be sure of an ample
supply of dressings on aand. When it came to the
indispensable bandages they simply could not risk
having "too little, too late".
JACKSON county's seven Red Cross units pitched
in and have produced more than a million surgical
dressings during the past 18 months. That's the best
record in the entire state, based upon population fig
ures. It represents a lot of hard work on the part of
patriotic volunteer workers. Of course, Jackson coun
ty is proud of these Red Cross Women !
a a
DIGIIT now, the Red Cross surgical dressing de
1X partment is enjoying a well earned and much
needed rest. Rut these workers will be back on the
job September 19th, and volunteers to help them will
be welcomed and noetitd. Lots of surgical dressings
will be used before victory is finally ours. H.G.
Christmas Mail Month
With the mercury climbing high these days it is
a bit difficult to get into the Christmas spirit, and yet
that's what sweethearts, wives, mothers and fathers
of service men and women overseas must do very
soon! Old Kris Kringle will have to stir his bones
early this year if millions of young G.I. Jones and
Janes throughout the world will not be disappointed
when December 25th rolls around.
September 15 to October 15 is the period set aside
for mailing gifts overseas. Early mailing is the only
way to be sure of delivery by Christmas. And that
means early shopping! Distances are great and ships
are needed to transport troops and supplies, so the
sooner gifts arc selected and mailed the easier will
be the strain on postal and cargo facilities.
1XHEN selections are made keep in mind that those
in the service generally prefer practical, useable
and wearable gifts first of
that stow awav easily.
Before gifts are mailed it is a good idea to check
with the postoffiee for the "hows" and "whys" of
weights, measurements and packing regulations. Mil
lions of holiday packages will be handled during the
overseas rush, so great care
form with ALL of these regulations, lhats the best

After American forces broke

Dewey Arrives In Michigan;
Holds War Strategy Up
To Generals.
Los Angeles, Sept. 9. (U.P.)
President Roosevelt should in
vite his opponent, Gov. Thomas
E. Dewey, to attend the forth
coming" conference with Prime
Minister Churchill, expected at
Quebec, the Los Angeles Times
suggested in an editorial today.
"If the Quebec conference is
held before election, Dewey or
his representative should be
there not for the personal ben
efit of Dewey, but for the good
of the nation," the Times said.
Lansing, Mich., Sept. 9. (U.R)
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey, car
rying his campaign for the presi
dency into his native Michigan,
said tonight that he expected to
be kept "fully informed" on con
versations between President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill as a step toward main
taining a non-partisan approach
to international security.
The Republican presidential
nominee made the statement at
a press conference shortly after
he arrived from Louisville, Ky.,
where last night he called for
non-partisan discussion of plans
for preventing future wars. His
remarks were prompted by a re
porter who said his paper was
going to suggest that Dewey at
tend a meeting between the
President and Churchill expect
ed to take place soon at Quebec.
"Well," Dewey said, "I never
invite myself to private discus
sions." The New York governor
declined to say whether he in
terpreted an agreement between
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
and John Foster Dulles, Dewey's
foreign affairs advisor, to mean
that the GOP candidate would
participate in such a conference
as the planned Roosevelt Chur
chill meeting.
"All I can say is the under
standing between Hull and
Dulles has been stated that
Dulles is to be kept fully in
formed as to the progress of
negotiations for the formation
of a world organization and for
sanctions to be imposed upon
the defeated powers," he said.
Another questioner asked, "as-
suming tho Quebec conference
is cniefly in regard to strategy
and military operations, do you
think in view of a possible
change of administration that the
possible new administration
should be kept Informed of such
oroad strategy as will come up?"
"It is to be hoped the war
with Germany will be over long
before the next administration
takes office January 20," Dewey
replied, "and that the progress
of the Japanese war will be so
far along that any plans made
will be well advanced, if not
completely executed before Jan
uary 20th."
The governor declined to be
drawn into a discussion of his
pledge to demobilize the army
as soon as "practicable." He
said he believed his opening
campaign speech in Philadelphia
fully covered the subject, but
added "all it requires is good In
tentions and a competent admin
istration with confidence in the
United States. The subject is not
even involved until peace comes
and the victories have been
total."

Small Investors Beware
Babson Makes
Babson Park, Mass., Sept. 8
We hear a lot of ballyhoo today
by brokers, investment advisers
and others about the great op
portunities in the stock market.
These tell us about the big rail
road profits, the new uses for
plastics and alloys and the other
new products "which are going
to revolutionize our way of
living." Electronic, television
and other stocks are being bally
hooed to an unreasonable de
gree. Looking Into the Future
If Germany cracks some time!
between November 7, 1944, and
March 7, 1945, it is fair to as
sume that we will go on a full
peace basis in 1946. After a short
period of re-rfdjustment (which
will be shorter as the time re
quired to whip Japan is longer)
we should enjoy a few years of
good business. The pent-up de
mand for goods, the great sur
plus of money and other con
siderations may even lead to a
sharp and short boom. There
certainly will be great activity
in the building of small homes.
Sooner or later, however, the
entire world, including our coun
try, must pay for what has hap
pened since 1939. I should not
be surprised any time around
1950 to see business go into a
tailspin with considerable un
employment. Hence, it is much
more important for investors to
base their purchases on funda
mentals than on the hopes of
new inventions, new processes
and other possible boomlets.
Brokers Always Optimistic
Investment dealers make their
money by selling or exchanging
securities. To get people to buy
with cash, or to sell securities
now held and re-invest in other
securities, requires bullish talk
of some kind. Strange to say, in
vestment advertisements headed
"Avoid Losses" pull very few
inquiries; while advertisements
'ini.,.icA Trr.fitc" rpt
headed "Increase Profits get
big returns. Hence, both invest
ment dealers and brokers feel
that they must always be op
timistic on something. Just now
they are ballyhooing the rails,
plastics, electronics, television,
etc.
To a certain extent, the above
also applies to some professional
investment advisers. Too many

BYRNES OUTLINES
SCHEME TO SPEED
ALL PRODUCTION
Washington, Sept. 9 (U.R)
War Mobilization Director James
F. Byrnes tonight outlined a pro
gram for aiding 40 per cent of
U. S. industry to return swiftly
to civilian production after the
defeat of Germany but warned
that "the fear of timid people"
may retard the government's ef
fort to put the plan across.
In a reconversion report to
President Roosevelt, Byrnes said
discussion of peacetime produc
tion at this time brought with it
danger of diverting attention
from the war effort but that he
had confidence in "the common
sense and sound judgment of the
American people."
Byrnes set as the ultimate goal
of reconversion maintenance of
the present peak national income
and the high level of employ
ment that goes with it. Ex
pressed fears of prolonged un
employment for the 4.000.000
people expected to be out of war
jobs after a German collapse
have been exaggerated, he said.
"We will speedily return to
civilian production," Byrnes pre
dicted. "The pent-up demand for
goods will come from a people
who have the money with which
to buy them. The fear of timid
people may temporarily retard
our return to full production and
full employment. But it will be
only for a short time."
He revealed that special pro
curement programs have been
prepared and are ready to be put
into effect on "V-E" day the
day Germany surrenders. The
government, he said, will retain
until final victory only the "best
qualified" manufacturers. Privately-owned
plants not normal
ly engaged in military produc
tion, will be given irst priority
on release from war work.

People On The March
It is a great mistake to com
pare conditions today with those
of the days of World War I. Un
der the conditions of 25 years
ago the ballyhoo which I am
now criticising might be justi
fied; but investors will find a
different postwar world a few
vears hence than wnai iney
found in the "good old 20's
Then the masses had not awak
ened. Today whether we like
it or not the people are on the
march. Following World War I
the government was not in busi
ness, but today the situation is
very different.
For instance, the government
now owns 95 of the synthetic
rubber industry, 90 of the
magnesium industry, and 85
of the airplane plants. The gov
ernment probably owns 50 of
the shipbuilding, machine tool
and aluminum plants of the
country; and 10 of the steel
foundries, 30 of the metal
working plants and 20 of the
high-test gasoline refineries. Af
ter the war, the states where
these plants are located will put
up a terrific fight to keep them
running. Is not this a communis
tic economy made to order for
the New Dealers?
In What to Invest
This does not mean that you
should put your money in a
sock or bury it in the ground In
vestments may well be safer
than, cash in the years to come.

because I am advising against
reaching for quick profits, there
is no reason why you should not
buy well-seasoned investments.
Capital can be conserved today
as well as in the past. Those who
have their holdings properly
diversified and who depend on
fundamentals, realizing that "the
people are on the march, should
have little to fear.

DEFENSE LEAGUE
FOR CONTINENT
Buenos Aires, Sept 9 U.R) .
Tho foreign office announced
this afternoon that Argentina
has withdrawn from the Mon
tevideo committee for the politi
cal defense of the continent,
formed at the conference of
American ministers In Rio De
Janeiro in 1942.
The official announcement
said that Argentina withdrew
its delegate from the committee
because the latter voted and ap
proved a resolution concerning
Argentina in the absence of Ar
gentine Delegate Miguel Angel
Chiappe.
It explained that when the
resolution was first proposed,
Sept. 5 Chiappe requested the
consideration be postponed until
he was able to come Buenos
Aires to consult with the foreign
office and return to Montevideo.
When Chiappe returned to Mon
tevideo he discovered the com
mittee had already approved the
resolution which recommended
the settlement of "the situation
of incompatability existent in
the committee because of the
fundamental divergencies of pol
icy which separate the Argen
tine Republic from other coun
tries of the continent in the face
of the present conflict."
The foreign office announce
ment said the committee's action
meant "the deliberate elimina
tion of the member designated
by Argentina in the final voting
on a project which directly con
cerned him."
