DAV IN ANNUAL
DRIVE 10 SELL
FORGET-ME-NOTS
The Disabled American Vet
erans of the World War will
hold their annual "Forget-me-not"
drive here Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday. Headquar
ters for those engaged in selling
the little flowers will be main
tained In the Hotel Allen.
It Is the hope of the D.A.V.
committee headed by Chairman
C. R. Reynolds, that a substan
tial sum may be raised through
the sale of forget-me-nots that
the work of caring for disabled
veterans may be carried on ef
fectively. Last year's drive was
as successful as the committee
had hoped for, and they are
hoping to have the biggest sale
the chapter has ever held this
year.
Back of the forget-me-not
campaign is a most worthy pur
pose, according to the chairman.
While the immediate needs of
the disabled veterans are
promptly and effectively taken
care of, It is our rehabilitation
program of services that we are
greatly interested in. No mat
ter how badly one of our com
rades may be disabled, utterly
lncaplcitating him, he lives in
hopes of being restored to use
ful citizenship at some time.
While he gratefully accepts the
help we give him he looks for
ward to the day when he can
again take his place in the work
ing world and contribute his
share to the general welfare. To
finance the needs of this rehab
iliation service the annual forget-me-not
sale has been insti
tuted. The very lexistence of
the Disabled American Veter
ans organization and its serv
ices to the unfortunate partici
pants in the World War, de
pends upon the success of these
forget-me-not sales. ,
April 22, the anniversary of
the famous "run" for homes into
Oklahoma territory, is a legal
holiday in Oklahoma.
SEEK WRECKAGE
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 4
U.PJ Navy crash and salvage
boats equipped with grappling
hooks probed the waters of St.
John's river here today for the
wreckage of a navy transport
and fighter plane which crashed
yesterday and were believed to
have carried 18 persons to death.
The river is about three miles
wide one of its widest stretches
at the point where the acci
dent was believed to have hap
pened, thus hampering salvage
operations.
The navy said 17 persons were
on the air transport service
plane while only the pilot was
in the fighter. Further official
details of the accident were lack
ing, and names of all casualties
were withheld.
Wave Enlistments
Release Many Men
WAVES enlisted from Oregon
communities in the two years
the program has been open have
released enough men to man
seven modern destroyers or a
heavy cruiser or an aircraft car
rier, according to a report just
received by Herb Crain of the
Medford recruiting station,
which handles WAVES applica
tions in this area.
The goal of 100,000 set for the
WAVES program by the end of
1944 is rapidly being reached.
New quotas after December 1
are provided for replacement en
listments only, which will be a
limited number.
Truman Refuses To
Estimate Majority
Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 7.
(U.R) Sen. Harry S. Truman said
today that "there's no doubt
about the outcome" of the elec
tion, but declined to hazard a
guess on the majority he expects
the voters will give him and
President Roosevelt.
"I have never posed as a po
litical porgnosticator and I see
no reason why I should start
now," Truman said, "but there's
no doubt about the outcome."
LEGION TO SHOW
Starting Wednesday night
Medford Post No. S, American
Legion, will show a series of
moving pictures furnished by
the army service forces. The
films, of 90 different subjects,
are all actual war scenes taken
in the last eight yeajs of axis
aggression.
The two films to be shown to
morrow night are 'The Nazis'
Strike," showing the shrewd
blow at Austria, and the con
quest of Czechoslovakia and Po
land. One of the features of this
film which makes it truly un
forgetable is the inclusion of the
horror pictures made by the Ger
mans during their pillaging of
Warsaw. This particular picture
became famous throughout the
world as the Germans gave spec
ial showings of It in their em
bassies and ministries in such
neutral countries as Turkey,
Norway, Spain and the Latin
American countries. The film
has a way of weakening a peace
able country's power to resist:
"See .what we did to Poland
and stay put. It could happen to
you."
The second picture is "Film
Communique No. 4." It covers
three subjects, aerial techniques,
showing action during raids by
U. S. fliers on Hansa Bay, We
wak and Rabaul; Negro engineer
troops rebuilding the Munda air
strip and the Sth army from
Salerno through devasted Italian
cities across the raging Volturno
river.
Commander Harry Young
urges all Legionnaires to see the
first of this series of films.
Regular business to be taken
up at the meeting will be final
reports on Armistice day observ
ance. All committee's have been
busy and all plans are ready,
A short resume of the day's
program includes:
8:30 a. m. Legion breakfast
at Holland .Hotel. .
11 a. m. Parade starting at
city park.
' 12 noon lunch' !n the Elks
basement.
9 p. m. Dance at Merrick's

Enemy Tortures Of
Civilians Told As
Villages Wiped Out
San Francisco, Nov. 7. (U.R)
Two unidentified villages in
Java and Sumatra islands In The
Netherlands East Indies have
been "wiped out" by the Japan
ese "on the same pattern the
Germans destroyed Lidive," the
official Netherlands news agency
Aneta asserted today.
A ColonTbo, Ceylon, dispatch
from Aneta correspondent Ralph
Coniston citing official state
ments by headquarters of Neth
erlands forces of the far east said
inhabitants of both villages were
machinegunned and the towns
razed.
The dispatch also described "a
number of cases of savage mis
treatment of prisoners of war
and the civilian population."
Alleged tortures, Coniston
said, included "burial alive, forc
ing victims to drink soapy water
and then jumping on their stom
achs . . . lifting persons by the
feet and banging their heads on
the ground, starvation, failure to
provide medical attention . . .
and bayonetting of women
through the breasts."
