Many commun ities m Klamath, Lake, Modoc and Siskiyou counties need extended service to and from this city. It takes time to bring this sort of thing about, and it is unwise to wait longer before starting the Real Honor Roll APPEARING in this paper frequently is a list of the firms and organizations in Klamath county whose payroll deduction war bond sales equal 10 per cent of total payrolls. People participating in. this program are now wearing the 10 per cent buttons you see on numerous lapels around town. The list of organizations in the 10 per cent group is indeed an honor roll, and it is noteworthy that it has been steadily increasing. It is possible some groups who be long oa tb.8 roll aro not yet listed, and any organization which qualifies should get in touch with Andy Collier or Verne Owens, in order to obtain this deserved recog nition. - Contrary to an impression held by at least a Dart of the public, i the honor roll 1 irt l - r ji uioi xuu per tem. oi we employes oi inese iirms are ouy Ing 10 per cent. It means that total bond sales equal or exceed 10 per cent of the total payroll, we understand a plan is being devised for recognition of the 100 per cent 10 per cent groups. They should be specially desig nated in some manner. Our hats are off to Bill war bond group for their quick reaction to discussion in this column of comparative July war bond quotas for oaeitson ana juamatn counties. Mr. tiates has voluntarily notified state headquarters that Jackson will assume 850,000 of Klamath's quota. We 'haven't heard of any thing of that kind being done it as neighborly and generous. in quotas is officially okehed, it was a showing of fine spirit and it is appreciated here. WOMl'S IDENTITY PUZZLES POLICE SAN FRANCISCO, July 16 VP) An attractive blonde who registered at a hotel here as Loll Andres cm of Box 175, Lakeview, Ore., lay seriously ill in a hos pital Wednesday while police tried to untangle the circum stances surrounding her.

July 18 The Russian method of meeting the blitx has always been to give ground until the attack Is spent. Then the reds customarily move in against the panting and exhausted foe with counter-attacks. For this, and many other rea sons, authorities have discount ed the direst possibilities of re cent novs from Russia. For instance, those two sal lents which the nazis first drove to the Don were narrow mech- anized pushes. They were long slender fingers driven into the Russian position, not a complete wholesale advance on the 200- mile front. It is true they cut the two rail roads from Rostov to Moscow at Voronezh and Rossosh and thus succeeded in hindering commun ications between Timoshenko's southern army and the central army. But these railroads have been used only for troops. Supplies have always gone from the north by a- safer route, around through Stalingrad. Furthermore, even if Stall grad falls and the Volga is cut there, the Russians would still have one rail line left to the Caucasus oil from Astrakhan straight north. SUPPLIES AS USUAL So while the two handiest troop rail-routes were cut at the outset of the drive, supplies were able to move to Timoshenko as usual, and his cause was not ir reparably damaged. Furthermore, the thin line of the German advance left Hitler the problem of protecting- his flanks as he moved forward, and limited his operations. At the two heads of the thin salients, Voronezh and Rossosh, his troops turned southward fighting their way down the rail roads and the Don river. The Russian defenses along the Don were seriously hamp ered by the winding nature of the river, and their inability to get back and forth, across it. There are few bridges in that region, and the German attack swept down both banks of the river., In one big bend a very large Russian force was trapped. It was clear, also, that if his attack onward from 'Voronezh could reach the little railroad town of Povorino, it would pre sent a much more serious threat to Tjmoshenko, for there his sup ply route running around through Stalingrad could be cut. Furthermore, if the nazi thrust down the Don reached Stalin grad before it spent itself, the vital Volga oil and supply route would be gone and nothing would be left except the Astrak han route. Even so, all would not necessarily be lost. While the southern army would then be completely cut off, Russian fighting ability in such circumstances is widely re spected. A counterattack by the south ern and central armies straight across Hitler's salient to join them again and leave his ad vance forces surrounded, would etill be a possibility. FIGHTING NOT OVER To win in Russia, Hitler must crush the Russian armies com pletely and cause them to sue for an armistice. As was proved, to the surprise of the world, last year, advances in thin salients and captures of strategic towns do not necessarily bring decisive results. The fighting is not over, even when the objectives are reached. No one knows or will even attempt to guess when the power of the German attack will di minish, whether at Lisichansk or Kantemirovka (two points at which It was headed down the railroads at this writing), or whether it will be able to go on to Stalingrad. It must stop some day and when that day comes, better news from that front may start. Little satisfaction can be de rived from going on beyond these immediate nazi objectives to consider what will happen if they all go and Hitler starts the last lap of his drive for the real economic prize of this campaign, which is the Caucasus oil. A supplemental attack from Taganrog on Rostov has been 11 SIDE GLANCES " '""' "" t J H .

Smith of Bly spent some time completing an ad vanced instructor's course in first aid and on his return inaug urated the training in Bly. A large number have now complet ed not only standard courses but advanced work, and several have qualified as instructors. From Smith's group. Jeff Causbie, Beulah Elliott, George Fullerton. Naomi Detrlck and R. E. Detrlck completed the in structor's courses. Others in this class were Betty Deering, Wilma Keffeler, Marie Coke, C. H. Ross, H. B. Johnson, Alma Johnson, Mrs. Jake Di- mond, Ray Crane, Albert Patzke. Joe Kafader, Delmar C. Lowe, Dorothy Lowe, Mrs. Mabel Ronne, Elmer McGinnis, Kathar ine Bishop, Katharine Lavln, Florence Mengelcoch, Bonita Gooch and Anna Gooch. 4 The majority of these finished in ad vanced work. In the class taught by Detrick, standard and advanced were completed by Opal Burch, Llla Langdon, Carl Raupach, Lois Shepeard and Helen Smith. Standard only was completed by David Clemens and Miles Lang don, while Francis Causbie, Neva McGinnis, Archie Strong and Marge Strong reached the advanced status. Naomi Detrick taught a group at Ivory pine community, spon sored by the Pine Needle club. From these, advanced students were Sarah McMillan,, Marie Kaupach, Enid Yoder, Myrtle May Johnson, Irma Bollck and Elaine Larkey. Standard courses were completed by Thelda Me Millan, Sarah Faye Crawford Eleanor EUlngson and Mildred Jenkins. A junior group, also taught by Mrs. Detrlck and sponsored by the Tanda Camp Fire girls of Bly, Is now in progress. Girls taking the work Include Betty Abbott, Barbara Jean Detrlck, Bonnie Jean Stone, Marie Os born, Jessalea Keffeler, Gwen Ashbaugh and Beryl Kestcr. The leaders In this movement are sponsoring an Instructor- operated mobile unit. Those who are on call In case of any highway accident are Jeff Caus bie. R. E. Detrlck, Naomi Det rick and C. A. Smith. Mr. and Mrs. Detrlck maintain the first aid station at the Bly drug store momentarily expected. This is the shortest route to that goal. He will not hit oil until he gets to Krasnodar (it yields about 900,000 tons of oil a year) and Grozny. To reach these points he will have to cross wide prairies cut by sharp depressions and gullies, admirably suited for Russian defense. The Russians well knew of Hitler's objectives last year, in time to accumulate huge oil stores to support their armies for an Indefinite period In the north. Thus, while the latest develop ments are grave, they have been subjected to over-exaggerated Interpretations. MT. Oft. (ravelins, then I hope they (lie usual annual visits from relatives I" 1.
