"Settlement or adjustment of thoso unremitted fines should be obtained as soon as possible," he said. Tax Tolls Balanced Tho auditor suggested minor adjustments in tho r kkecpinu practices of Justice T. W. Chat burn of W. Tulclako district, staling that Chalbum's methods result in "improper distribution of fines . d n.akcs necessary nu merous audit adjustments." Davis reported he had bal anced tho tax rolls of tho county as of Juno 30, 1942.

In reporting on conditions of various funds, the auditors noted that the county road fund showed material Improvement from a deficit of $15,015.82 to a surplus of $3,170.48. Receipts were more than anticipated and unpaid bills decreased. The auditors advised that large reserves should bo available at tho beginning of each fiscal year on July 1, to take care of the in terim beforo tax collections be gin to come in In the fall.

' Stamp No. 27 In tho "Sugar Book" (lower left hand corner) is good for one pound of coffee through Sunday, January 3, 1943, if the age shown at time of registration was 16 years or over. Any person not having a "Sugar Book" may still ob tain one by registering (prior to December 16, 1D42) with his local War Price and Ration Board and, subject to age limit, the stamps will be good for coffee, too. Ration Btamps for coffee- must be detached by the grocer or his authorized dolivery man because of the ago limit. Stamps authorized for coffee must not bo detached from a book "under age limit,'.' as these stamps will have to bo accounted for when tho timo comes to renew tho "Sugar Book." Wartime problems of production and distribu tion make it impossible to have enough coffee everywhere at tho same time to All all demands immediately. So spread your stamps out. If you have a number of "coffee stamps" in the family, we suggest you buy several times in the next few weeks instead of all at once. And if you have enough coffee on hand to last a while, don't rush down to the store to get your "ration." Let your less fortunate neighbors have a chance to get their coffee first.

Discussing property taxes re ceivable, tho auditors said that in the first six months of 1942 slightly more than 81 per cent of the total current levy for all purposes, including irrigation and drainage assessments, was collected. During the samo per iod, slightly moro than 22 per cent of the delinquent taxes and assessments at January 1, 1942, was collected. Total collections amounted to 102,390 per cent of tho current levy. "Considering tho amount of irrigation and drainago assessment cancella tions and losses on foreclosed property these ratios are high," tho report said. $591,709 Surplus Under warrant outstanding the auditors noted difficulty in reconciling the clerk's outstand ing warrant control accounts to the detail list of warrants out- can buy m&m understand that you may apply to your local War Price and Ration Board for a certificate enabling you to buy up to five pounds of coffee at a time. (The equivalent number of stamps will be removed from your book to cover the "advance" ration.) If there should be any change in the basis or method of coffee rationing, it will be publicly announced and your grocer will also know. You can count on him to keep you properly informed. The quantity of coffee obtainable by anyone under Rationing Regulations at the time this goes to press will represent a greater reduction for many people than it will for others. But let's look at rationing . . . for coffee or any other commodity ... in a sensible and reasonable manner. Ration ing is a wartime measure made necessary, in the case of coffee, by Interruptions in supply that have . resulted from a shortage of ships . '. . aggravated by unusual consumer buying in the past few months. And even if it serves no other purpose, rationing is a means by which everyone will be able to get his share of the coffee that is available. It is to be hoped that many of the recent un certainties of supply and demand that have existed across the Nation with respect to coffee will be come adjusted through the functioning of coffee ' ! rationing. And let us hope, too, that as time goes on more ships will be available to bring in the Rupplies of green coffee that are awaiting ship ment from our neighboring countries in the South and Central Americas. Statements by Government authorities have indicated a desire to increase the allowance of coffee' under the rationing system just as soon as conditions will permit perhaps . even eliminate it entirely. When that han- pens. ..wholly or even in pot will indeed have a new"silver lining. '. Oregon Soldier Dies After Riot PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 30 fP) First Meut.

Cities Warned to Lay Up Funds for After-War Work PORTLAND, Nov. 30 (IV) Oregon cities should lay up funds now for post-war public works projects. So advised the League of Ore gon Cities executive committee Saturday. The committee said it would seek legalization for-the funds at the next state legis lative session. A portion of gasoline tax and suite liquor profits also will be asked for the cities, the commit tee announced. Howard Kramer, Milton city manager, was elected vice presi dent, replacing Mayor George Layman, Ncwbcrg, who has taken a federal Job. standing and said the corrected amount of outstanding warrants in each fund was furnished the clerk's office. The auditors report a current surplus of $591,709.90 as total for all funds, this being obtained by subtracting the known cur rent liabilities from cash or li quid assets of each fund.

NORMAN LODGE GUADALCANAL, Nov. 12" (Delayed) Ml Tojo's dragon flics took a terrific beating to-1 day attempting to raid the har bor waters between Guadalcanal and Little Florida Island where reinforcements of American soldiers and marines wero being landed along with huge supplies of food, ammunition and other necessities. Unlike the Armistice day hit run raid in which our losses were about half the Invaders', today saw a force of torpedo planes protected by Zeros come across the mountains, over Hend erson field and toward the chan nel to attack the landing opera tions. That's Par Anti-aircraft fire opened up on land and sea, the fighter planes circled for altitude, land based heavy cannon ripped holes in the cloud-filled sky, and when It was all over here was the boxscorc every American can be proud of: Japanese losses 16 two engined torpedo planes and five Zeros shot down by fighters and 11 .additional planes by anti aircraft and ship-based fire. American losses Four planes, and one pilot is known to be safe. That is par for any course. Nary a one of the unloading ships was struck, not one of the unloading barges was hit and no body among the huge landing party was injured.

The alert was given shortly after 2 p. m., suddenly shore gunners shouted "there they go" and put up a terrific barrage. Torpedo planes, borely skim ming the top of the water, swooped in from the east. The sky was black with theso and small clouds of anti-aircraft smoke interspersed with red tracers. From a low-flying formation a two-engined Job nosed right down into the sea and the sergeant gunner reached across the cannon and marked one white chalk stripe. Pilot Buried In quick succession five oth ers followed the original Nip In- I to the ocean, flared up and then waters. Water-based naval craft were throwing up everything they had. By now individual anti aircraft puffs had merged, form ing a huge thunderhead of burst ing steel raining into the sky. One torpedo plane fell into the sea close by a transport ship. The pilot, his left leg hanging in shreds, floated past the star board beam in his kapok jacket, He was fished out with boat hooks and taken ashore and bur ied.
