Newspaper Page TextRESENTS FLEE TR1-STATE AREA ME FLOODS Oklahoma City, Okla., April 18 (U.R) Refugees streamed out of eastern Oklahoma, south ern Missouri and northern Ark ansas today as more rain tell on the tri-state area where millions of acres of farmland already are Inundated by rampaging rivers. At leapt seven persons were dead, all q them in Oklahoma A three-quarter inch rainfall yesterday added to the flood swollen rivers in Oklahoma. The greatest destruction was caused by the Grand, Arkansas and North Canadian rivers in Oklahoma. In the Missouri Ozarks and northern Arkansas, Kesp en ' fiikteng in yoisr garden Br'er Hare, he sat down half way. Br'cr Tortoise, he kept.go ing till he crossed the finish line and showed the world how to be a winner. Undo Sam is asking Victory Gardeners to keep going until the finish, He is asking it very seriously. President Roosevelt himself has issued the call. The National Victory Garden Insti tute has warned that a shortage of garden foods threatens, re gardless of the situation in Europe. They know food prospects are not so favorable. Farm la bor is thin. Transport is strain ed. In key sections of the coun try, weather has been bad. The backlog of canned foods is limited. Prices and blue-point values tell the story. But Uncle Sam' peoph fear most that the Br'cr Hares will now sit down."Look at the wonderful war news," they'll say. "It's all over but the shout ing!" Then some Br'er Tor toises may sit down, too. Desperately they're trying to make things happen the other way around. All those Victory Gardeners who have stuck with fork and hoe must keep going. Those who have given up must turn to Victory Gardens again. The need is fot "all possible." Home-growing and home-canning are as essen tial to victory as was the bridge at Rcmagen. The President and the oth ers know the problem will Van ish if only the people realize despite good military news that the food situation is still critical. Essentially, Uncle Sam is urging Victory Gardeners to show the stuff winners are made of. And that's a compliment. For what do winners do? They go the full route! They come in strong at (he finish!

INNER 10 NAME If Jackson county Is the first of the' "Big Ten" in Oregon to reach Its "E" bond quota in the coming seventh war loan drive, the county will be given the honor of sponsoring the launch ing of a Kaiser ship according to a wire received by George Frey, drive chairman, from the state committee. The Big Ten is made up of 10 counties assigned an "E" quota of more than a million dollars for the drive. Frey stated this morning that while the drive doesn't officially open until May 14, all "E" bonds sold during April, May and June will count. More stress than ever is being placed on the sale of the "E" bonds and the county's quota of this type is much larger than for any previous drive, the chairman said, being half of the total quota of $2,087,000. "In order to meet this large quota, county sales must average more than $340,000 a month,'' Mr. Frey pointed out this morn ing and he urged the cooperation of every citizen in the task of carrying on the drive. The chairman said that assist ing him in the drive would be T. E. Daniels, who would handle sales in rural districts; W. A Gates, Grange sales; A. S. Rosen baum, local solicitation; L. T. Nygaard, T. E. Hornecker and Henry Zacherisen, mills; Arthur Adler, Herb Grey, Moore Hamil ton and Lee Ryan, publicity. NO SCHOOL CHANGE PLAN FOR TRUMAN DAUGHTER Washington, April 16.
