The Ainuic arc ood In any type of riuhtlnii but they ahow beat and that nienna superbly on the offensive. Thnl probably la the rcaaon they have been held In nwrve until thla cru cial moment. A commander doesn't uat pick lili troopi haphazardly, unlcas he haa to, but chooses them ac cordion to their racial temper ament and capabilities. Some are better at holding a line, unit In the difficult rear-Kunrd fighting, and the very long ault of the Aussie la rlp roarln' at tack, especially where therc'a hand to hand work with cold ateel. Wo learned all that bock In world wor number one. By the way, the Australian! In the last war thought tha Yanks were great fellers, and the feci "ing waa mutual. It woa the American ,t:ird division and Aua ales who ataxed the first Anglo American attack of history. That wai on July 4, 1018. when the two outfits went over the top on the Somme and fought their way shoulder to shoulder to the cap ture of Ilamel. It waa a grond how. The Australians have gona In to thn British line about 120 miles up the peninsula from Sin gapore. Meantime the Initial togea of the actuot siege of Sin gapore Itself has begun, with the Japanese making heavy bombing raids on tho Island. Refugees have been pouring Into Singapore from tho mainland. and the authorities hove pro pared for eventualities by min ing the great causeway which connects the island and the peninsula. Tho greatest weakness of the British continues to be In war planes, and It Is likely that the battle will turn on air-power. The Dutch have turned to with a will and are fighting over Slngoporo with their allies. There also may be an Indication that British air reinforcements are arriving as a communique from Singapore today states that "large forces" of British aircraft have been attacking tho Japs on tho peninsula. Somebody asks what happens If the Japanese capture this greet naval base which la the key of the allied defense In tho for east. Where do the allies go from there? First off, Singapore hasn't been lost yet, ond the British may be able to hang onto the .citadel Itself. However, as this Jcolumn has sold before, unless allied air reinforcements arrive, the Nipponese likely will be able to render the baso useless for warships. In that case Sin gapore would be fairly Impotent, although It is of vast Importance to keep U In British hands, pend ing the tlmo when tho allies can assume the offensive in the bat tle of the Pacific. Unfortunately Singoporo la the only base In that theatre capable of taking euro of a big naval concentration, and under normal circumstances both the American and British fleets could be accommodated there U It Is rendered useless, one as sumes that tho fleets will divide Into units which will bo so on the Dutch East Indies, so long as the Japs can be stood off from those islands, and after that might retlro clear back to Aus tralian bases. ) ' NO JACKPOT?

S, BHD EXAMPLE MERRILL Missionaries from tho United States who answer the call to foreign fields cannot eulogize America when trying to bring tho heathen to Christ, according to Blanche Yoemons, Pacific coast secretary for for eign missions, one of a team of four who are visiting Presbyter ian churches 'of southwest Ore gon this month. Miss Yoemons, with Rev. Harold Henderson, missionary from Chosen, Dr. John B. Weir, secretary of the north India council, and Rev. Forrest C. Trovollle, former pas tor of the Merrill Presbyterian church were honored at a too held Friday afternoon in the high school at which women of the Merrill church were hos tesses. Miss Yoemons stated that less than 50 per cent of the Amer ican people are Christians and that the barbaric people of the earth, the headhunted, question missionary sincerity when those who are sent to carry the mes sage of Christ come from a coun try that still engages In war and whose people kill one another. There is a dire need for more and more missionaries, and a great many fields arc open, espe cially In South America now that tho western hemisphere Is in need of cooperation against the axis powers, Miss Yocmanss ?aid.

Y Jan. 19 Oregon life Insurance policy holders would save an estimated $7,357,300 In premiums during 1942, under a proposal put forth by the Society of American Pol icyowners a consumer member ship group having its national headquarters here. The proposal Is for life insur ance companies to adjust their premium rates In line with cur rent death figures Instead of on the basis of the American Ex perience Table of Mortality, which has been In use for rate making purposes since I860. It is pointed out that the Amer ican death, rate has been falling; steadily for a good many year but insurance rates have reflect ed their trend not at all, Tha society calculates that adoption of a modern mortality table would result In a drop in pre miums of $10 for each thousand dollars of insurance carried. With insurance in force in tha continental United States total ling $111,650,667,306 this would mean a clear saving of $1,116, 506,673 in premiums paid out by American policyholders.

An Inactive spnrc tire has been described by one tiro maker as similar to an un used muscle, and a liability. Recommended is the switching of wheels, including the spare, every 3000 to 5000 miles. The switching recommended places the spore on the left front wheel; the left front wheel Is moved to the left rear, which Is sign In the center; recapping comes when the re grooved sub stance Is worn down- almost to the bottom of the grooves.

At 70 miles on hour it falls to only 30 per cent of normnl expectoncy. Thus moderate speed is recom mended if you would keep your cor rolling on safe rubber. Uneven and spotty wear of tires suggest the need for wheel alignment; small cuts should be repoired promptly.
