TELLS OF
JURY SUMMONED
IN DAMAGE SUIT
Describing the desolation and
ruin of Germany. Staff Sgt. L,. L,
Campbell told of a "victory
tour" in a recent letter to his
wife who resides at 510 North
Bartlett street.
"I wouldn't have missed it for
the world." wrote the sergeant.
"The trip was made by plane
and at times we were flying
about tree top level so we really
got to see Just what happened
over there. It still doesn't seem
possible that human power could
completely annihilate a city the
way most of the German cities
have been. They are aDsoiuieiy
destroyed and look as if a mon
strous hand had just wiped them
away. I am sure that Germany
now knows what total war
means because, believe me, she.
has really seen it."
He described the trip In de
tail, saying that they saw evi
dence of the ground battles in
Belgium and that Brussels didn't
appear to be badly damaged but
that as they arrived over uer-
many they began to see real
damage. "The first large city
was Essen, home of the Krupp
armament works and it was
hard to believe what we saw.
Here was once a large, proud in
dustrial city. It spreads along
the winding river and is very
large. Now nothing remains but
a few piles of brick and twisted
steel. The city has absolutely
been removed from the map.
"We crossed the whole Ruhr
and the story is the same every
where. Every city either is gone
or practically so. There are
hardly any people left in these
cities. A few can be seen among
tlie ruins find a few in the main
streets, which have been cleaned
out." '
The sergeant wrote that the
tour continued over Munster,
Hanover, Brunswick, Kassel,
and added that not even a wall
was left in Kassel. Sgt Campbell
also-dcscribed the mountains and
beautiful farms seen between
cities and wrote "I can't under
stand why Germany can't turn
her immense power to living a
descent, normal life."
Sgt. Campbell, with the Eighth
air force, has been overseas 25
months.
The circuit court petit jury has
been called for next Monday to
hear the trial of the damage suit
of James H. Nunes against Maur
ice J. Woodson and Alonzo R
Harden. Nunes seeks $15,000
personal injury damages and
$2,576.40 special damages as the
result of a logging truck collision
on the Dead Indian road last
July 1. The truck in which
Nunes was riding went off the
embankment causing logs to fall
on the cab. As the result of in
jury Nunes sustained the loss of
an arm.
Circuit Judge Dal M. King of
Coos county, assigned by the
state supreme court to hear the
Wright vs. Tiller Lumber com
pany, and Taylor vs. Southern
Oregon Mining company cases
will be here Saturday to hear
preliminary, matters in connec
tion with both actions. Neither
have yet been set for trial.
Judge Hanna will hold court
in Grants Pass Friday.

ABSENTEE VOTERS
GET BALLOTS NOW,
SECRETARY URGES
Salem, June S (U.R) Voters
who will be absent from the
state during the June 22 special
election should obtain their ab
sentee ballots now, Secretary of
State Robert S. Farrell, Jr., said
today.
They may vote with the absen
tee ballots up to within five days
of the election.
A total of 573 applications for
servicemen's ballots have been
received in Farrell's office for
the election.
Farrell pointed out that there
are a number of conventions
scheduled for the latter part of
June, and that many voters
might be away from their poll
ing places.
Farrell repeated earlier state
ments advocating the passing of
the $10,000,000 building fund at
the special election.
Money Available
"It is important that voters
understand they are not being
asked to authorize collection of
additional taxes in this election
he said. "Oregon now has the
$10,000,000 needed to finance
the building program in income
tax surplus, but under the state's
constitution, this money cannot
be expended unless the people
authorize the five mill tax levy.
The fact that the building pro
gram is one that Is needed to
enable over-crowded state insti
tutions to meet demands on their
facilities was emphasized by the
secretary of state, who added
that the work would provide
sound employment after the war.

Underwater Gym
Proves Helpful To
Paralysis Victims
Johannesburg, S. A. (U.R)
Underwater bicycles, wall-bars
and trapezes are being used in a
submerged gymnasium for pa
ralysis patients at the Cottesloe
Military hospital.
One patient who suffered a
back injury at El Alamein and
others suffering from poliomye
litis have been treated with the
underwater exercise devices
with good results, according to
the superintendent.
An. underwater boat allows
for observation of the patients
without distortion.
The patient injured at El Ala
mein, the bath superintendent
said, is now able to walk some
80 yards. When he arrived at the
hospital for treatment in the
baths last October, he was un
able to walk at all. He can walk
along the path, dive into the
pool and swim about 100 yards.
Other patients show similar improvement.
After some mild exercises
with the aid of floats, patients
are often able to exercise on the
bicycle or the trapeze suspended
from the diving board.
