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

which qualifies should get in touch with Andy Collier
or Verne Owens, in order to obtain this deserved recog

By BttlLjMALLON
WASHINGTON. 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

COMPLETED IN BLY
BLY Early in June of last
year, C. A. 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
