To the Women
off the West
Suppose) that by some mirac
ulous chance a wounded Amer
ican soldier magically trans
ported from Germany or Luzon
knocked feebly at your door.
You would drop everything
tverylbing to care for him,
"Gangway," you'd say. "This is
a woman's job."
From the) Army hospitals ol
the land, the wounded are cas
ing you just as eloquently ai
from your doorstep. In those
hospitals, woman's highest job
the eternal triumph of life
over death awaits you. The
Women's Army Corps offers
you opportunity to serve at a
soldier and a woman.
In Army hospitals, many ktj
tasks can be performed by an;
able and intelligent woman. So
the Army has turned once more
to the WAG General Marshall
himself is urging enlistments la
WAC hospital units.
Small noed exists for him
to emphasize the emergency.
From over the earth the casu
alties are crowding in. Every
where the too few doctors and
nurses art working until the;
drop. You've heard the talk
that nurses may have to be
drafted. So the service you can
perform as a member of the
WAC is great
If you enlist now, you'll be
given special training to help
you become the right arm of the
doctors and the nurses and of
the wounded men themselves.
WAC hospital soldiers keep
recoriii, make beds, give baths,
take pulse and temperatures,
serve meals and liquids and do
all the non-professional things
connected with nursing.
And tha Army will strive to
assign you to a hospital near
your home. You'U help care for
boys from your own commun
ity. You'U be a woman who's
a soldier and a soldier who's a
woman assigned to woman's
greatest job.

The Gray Mask kept his un
defeated record at Medford ar
mory intact last night when he
took two out of three falls from
Pete Belcastro in the main
event. Belcastro has nobody to
blame but himself for his lick
ing at the hands of the hooded
monster. With falls standing
one apiece, Belcastro attacked
the Mask during the rest period.
When the bell officially started
the session Pete ran into a series
of head butts and was forced to
give up after three minutes.
The Mask took the first fall
in 20 minutes and Belcastro
evened it in six minutes with
a shoulder press.
Georges Dusette and Ernie
Piluso went to a fast draw with
each taking a fall in the semi
windup. Tex Hager was awarded the
deciding fall on a foul over Billy
McEuin in the opener.

NAVY BREAKS UP
ALL STAR TEAMS
Washington, April 6 (U.R)
The navy is breaking up its all
star athletic teams in this coun
try in a dual move to bolster
morale of personnel overseas
and to end "adverse criticism"
at home, it was learned today.
The order opens the way for
many nationally known stars in
navy uniform to be sent over
seas, thereby giving servicemen
avay from home an opportunity
to see high class athletic compe
tition. In an order to all naval com
mands ,'n thla country, the navy
said it no longer favored "de
liberate concentrations of pro
fessional or publicly-known am
ateur athletes within the co-j-tinental
United States for the
purpose of exploiting their spe
cialties in athletic team competition."

NAZI VILLAGERS
LEARN ABOUT WAR
THE BITTER WAY
Refusal of Enemy Troops to
Surrender Brings Destruc
tion of Homes of Town.
The baseball season in the
valley is still in the embryo
stage "but already it begins to
look like there will be no league
this summer. Dom Provost, who
generally has his fingers in the
Ashland baseball pie, has noti
fied Mac McKinney, secretary
of the Medford Craters, that
Ashland will probably not be
able to field a team. Grants Pass
has not answered McKinney's
letter seeking information on a
team from the Climate City.
If present plans are carried
out, the chances are slim for an
outstanding team from Medford.
But Conlln is trying to work up
a gang of older players while
the Craters are also rounding
out plans for a team with the
stress being on youthful play
ers.
We have asked both Conlln
and McKinney why they did not
group their efforts and put out
the best possible team to repre
sent Medford. Conlin said the
Craters were leaning toward
youth to make up its lineup
while he wants to give the older
fellows a chance. McKinney
said he favored both organiza
tions Joining together to put out
the best possible club. It is our
feeling, as well as McKinney's,
that there is not enough capa
ble material in Medford to field
two teams able to hold their
own with southern Oregon com
petition while one fairly good
team could be made up.
McKinney said he has re
ceived a letter from the naval
station at Klamath Falls indicat
ing they might field one or two
teams and would be interested
in entering a league. The letter
said Norm Worthley, former
Junior high coach here and
catcher for the Craters a few
years back, might be named
manager of one of the clubs.
Although no word has been
received to date from the ma
rine barracks at Klamath Falls,
it is our guess they also would
be interested in forming a team
to enter a - southern Oregon
league.
Come what may, there will
be some form of baseball in the
valley this summer. The Choney
Lumber company at Central
Point has a team already or
ganized and vitally interested in
forming a league. Conlin is
planning a workout for his gang
of "oldsters" at the high school
diamond. Sunday, weather per

Scherfede, Germany,- April 3
(Delayed) Until last night this
little village nestled In a pine
forest didn't know what war
meant. It knows now. It learn
ed the hard way.
That young woman coming
down the street knows about
war now. She is pushing a baby
buggy. In it is a little girl about
18 months old. She lies still in
the buggy. One side of the pink
blanket wrapped around the
baby is wet with blood.
Child Attended
The weeping mother pushes
the buggy to an American aid
station. They dress the gaping
wound in the child's leg. That's
all they can do. They tell her
the best thing is to take the
baby home and call in a German
doctor. Our doctors have their
hands full with their own
wounded.
They hate the idea of having
to send the baby away, but what
could they do?
Here's how the baby's mother
and her fellow citizens of Scher
fede learned about war.
Last night American infantry
approached the village. They
knew German troops, elite
guards at that, were hiding
there and waiting for them. So,
as Sgt. Donald R. Weishaupt of
Panama, Okla., relates it:
Troops Warned
"We set up a loud speaker
system. We told the citizens in
both German and English that
we had them surrounded. We
told them they had no possible
chance. We asked them to sur
render and save their town.
"Some of the civilians did
come out. But the troops
stayed."
When the deadline came, our
artillery turned loose on the vil
lage. Today many houses lie
crumpled into the streets, some
of them still smouldering. Oh
one street four milk cows lie
dead. Their stiff legs poke out
straight In the air.
A little old woman Is digging
In the wreckage of what had
been a house. Probably even
she doesn't know Just what all
is looking for something from
her home to take away.
Twenty-two captured SS men
in black leather togs are being
marched through the town. At
the edge of it Is, a German self
propelled gun, u.. damaged. Atop
it are a few limbs and leaves for
camouflage.
Bodies Collected
On a hill outside the village
are the bodies of three more SS
men. A grave detail is there
now, collecting them for burial.
In a little valley nearby is a
wounded elite guard. Through
their glasses our doctors saw he
was lying on a grenade. They'd
go almost anywhere to help the
wounded, even a nazl. But they
are not foolish enough to walk
up to a wounded German lying
on a grenade.
This time it might be all right.
The nazi might respect the Red
Cross of the medics coming to
save his life. But too many
times it has been a different
story. So as long as he has that

grenade the medics are not go
ing near him.
It cost the lives of many
Americans to teach Scherfede
about war. But it cost German
lives, too.
During 1944 there were 67,
917 new passenger automobiles
authorized for consumer delivery
and 51,973 certificates Issued
authorizing consumer purchase
for specified used 1942 cars.
