west of Salerno, other parts of

miles to the north, apparently
became untenable and the allies
gained the potential use of 10
airfields from which to press
attacks on northern Italy and
southern France.
It was not likely that much

by allied forces as yet, however,
because of the floodtide of oper

The Russian war bulletin in

sweeping westward rapidly,
meeting only lightly armed nazi
rearguards as they captured

' Churchill is the war's best re

OUR navy (carrier-based planes

The attack lasted all Saturday
night and most of Sunday.
That length of time indicates
that t)ie Japs weren't able to

.
WE get today some thrilling re
ports of the growth of our
navy.
The tonnage of our fighting
ships in the first six months of
this year is 20 TIMES greater
than in the corresponding' six
months three years ago.
We have 14 TIMES as many
naval ships, of all kinds.
We have 10 TIMES as many

In July alone, our navy re
ceived more planes of all types
than it hid ALTOGETHER
three years ago.
'THAT'S SOME record.
On the strength of it, we
might even go so far as to pat
ourselves on the back a little.

ALL COUNTY
SCHOOLS OPEN
FEWER PUPILS
With tlieoponlng o( school at
Weyerhaeuser camp 8 last week,
Klamath county school enroll
ment figures for this year were
complete Monday, showing a
very small decrease over last
year. ,
Somo of the county schols
were late in starting this fall
due to teacher, building or other
difficulties.
A total of 3519 students were
registered' this year as against
3694 in 1942, showing a decrease
of only 173 pupils over the on
tire county.
Enrollment figures In the
south suburban area were sur
prisingly close with 1149 stu
dents this year and 1150 last
fall.
Altamont's school population
increased frqm 827 last year to
863 this year but this was to be
expected as children who attend
ed Summers school last year are
going to Altamont this fall. Sum
mers school is closed.
Other schools in the county
were up or down slightly but
with no appreciable difference
either way.-
Weyerhaeuser camp 6 school,
which could not start until last
week because the building was
not completed, hati an enroll
ment of 21 on the first day.
Harold Ashley, county school
clerk, said that there was some
possibility that the total num
ber of county students may in
crease slightly later this year,
due to the fact that in some
farm communities a few young
sters will not be able to start
school until the harvest season
Is over.

fied, adding that operative per

largely a matter of maintenance

"Our shipping can now be

Marshall said it was necessary
to keep stand-by troops on hand
in this country to meet the de
mands from vsrlous theaters of
war.
"These troops are all on de
mand for certain times and
places," he said. "We do not
want to use hastily gathered
people. We had to do that in
the early part of the war, but
thank God we do not have to
do that now."
