On Soviet Soil
Invaders Thrown Back
With Heavy Losses,
Says Moscow

MOSCOW, June "a (Uf)
The Moscow press tonight
presented brief accounts OF
how Red troops somewhere
in the western military dis
trict hurled back German attack.
Other dispatches told of a raid
by a squadron of the Red air fleet
into German territory in flight
of about 400 miles from it's Russian
base.
The press said the raid was
night attack, carried out by bomb
ers, escorted by fighter planes. The
bombers succeeded in dropping their
bombs on the selected targets and
the fighters shot down German in
terceptor planes, the account said.
These brief accounts were the only
reports on actual fighting to ap-
pear in the Soviet press in addition
to the communique of the Russian
high command.
A dispatch from Don, home OF
Marshal S. M. Budenny, legendary
Soviet cavalry leader, reported that
the Cossacks of that area had issued
resolution in which they promised
that "the enemy will not linger on
sacred Soviet territory

Frank ruefully absorbed this critic
ism from one who described him
self on a post card as a Sunday

The card apparently referred to
a sales sign in an El Centro store

Then Frank got TO looking at
the postcard and decided that the
word Offence" was wrongly spell
I'd, thereby putting the critic in
the same class with Frank A trip
to the dictionary showed, however
that although offense is preferred
the other spelling is good enough.

happened then. Somehow, they seemed
to fit in with far-of days and peoples.
But today, TO be reading about the
slavery Of peoples and the ruination Of
cities and lands
This was something new The blame
was being placed a hundred different
ways.
Was the real blame because the world
has stopped looking up!
The good earth" is good, and must
be looked at when one ploWs and does
any of the homely tasks related to it.
Maybe the rest OF the time we should
look up more
Maybe that is what a roof is for. as
we'll as for coverage, to draw our eyes
skyward.
Variety, In roofing, Is a good idea.
There is one community where all
slate is used on hundreds of houses.
1t is down in a valley.
AS you 90 along the avenue above IT,
there appears to be a haze, a smoky
look, over all.
1t is not smoke, however, but those
slate roofs
Many householders fail 70 realize how
heavy slate roof is. 1t is many times
as heavy as composition shingles.
Variety in roofing material gives
quality Of difference which is not always
appreciated. Unless one is roof-conscious,
he seldom if ever looks at roofing. The
TACT that the many different materials
and types give texture, as it were to
the entire neighborhood often is over
looked.
1t is an amazing thing how becoming
roof-conscious helps increase ones in
terest in communities.
An entire new level Of consciousness
let us say, is opened to the inquiring
mind.
Not only in their artistic appreciation,
but a dollars -and-cents understanding of
the brave men who put them on.
They, OF course, would be the last fel-
lows in the world to look upon them
selves as brave. They would say it is
experience
The householder on the ground. look
ing up at his grand new roof, the ex-
panse and color OF it, would be willing
to call them brave.
House building and repairing are
among the essentials of civilized life
To stop them, unless the need is dire,
Is to take a step backward in civiliza-
ton.
Building is one Of the things in life
which We should hold onto tenaciously
until the gods Of war make US stop.
Maybe those perverted gods will do us
real service by compelling us to look
TO our roofs in time.
ITO the housetops!" is an old, old
cry, coming down through the ages, and
still good.

generally reflected the styles of clas

generally reflected the styles of clas-
sic antiquity, adapted to Russian
usage. Fine private homes likewise
were of Greek and Roman fashion,
modified by Muscovite taste in minor
details. The furnishings often were
rich in the extreme. Owners Of
such palaces wore garments tailored
by French masters of the art sar-
torial.
Prosperity, as might be expected,
brought gaiety to Rostov. 1t was a
happy place as compared with
somber St. Petersburg and solemn
Moscow. Before the Bolshevik revo-
luton the population was approx
mately two hundred thousand; more
recently, it had been increased by
the importation Of laborers for the
shipyards, foundries, leather goods
factories and chemical laboratories.
During the summer season each
year crowds of extra hands" were
employed to move the grain harvest.
What the consequences of Nazi
occupation will be is problemati ticai.
To answer the question accurately it
would be imperative to know the
trend of events in cities as distant
from Rostov as BuenoS Aires and
Chicago for century to come. Per-
haps the present fate of "the Little
Paris of the Cossacks" is merely an
inconsequential incident as viewed
in the lens of history.

THIS AND THAT
Bu Charles z. Trdce1UeI.

A new roof, like the 17-year locust, is
only an occasional thing.
1t is not likely that the average house
holder will put on more than one or two
roofs i'll a lifetime.
After it is done, he finds himself en-
tirely roof-conscious.
In the past, roofs-or should 1t be
rooves?-were taken for granted.
They were among the many things in
life which he never noticed, except now
and then.
After his new rJof is on. he finds he
has an entirely new preoccupation as he
goes around town.
Yes, you've guessed it
Studying the roofs, not OF the world,
but of his own home town!
Here, all these years, he has been
seeing roofs without seeing them.
Like the man in the French play, who
had been speaking prose all his life with
out knowing it, the new roofer discovers
that the tops of houses are immensely
interesting.
Some sections of town are tin-roof
communities
Another section is slate-roof town.
Still in another is composition-roof
Vile.
Then there are places where all sorts
of roofs are mixed up in the same neigh
borhood There are Stag roofs and cop
per roofs, there are rigid asbestos and
flexible shingles and tile.
He discovers that no two persons in
suburban communities, at least, have the
same kind of color of roofing.
The covers of buildings take on a whole
new interest.
The timbers in a roof-the wall plate,
the tie-beam, the king post, the struts,
the principal rafters. the common rafters,
the pole plate. the purlin. the ridge
pole
He can see these as it were, with x
ray eyes, as he views the roofs as he
goes along
Now his eyes go upward, as he goes
around. and he sees at last that the
upward gaze is far better than the
downward.
II there ever was an age in which
the upward gaze was better, he thinks,
il is this one.
He stops TO think, among his roofs,
that conquest and slaughter are no new
things in this world.
The new thing is that it has hap
pened in such a complete way in this
century.
He had read about the sacking of
ancient cities. The siege OF Jerusalem
was long time ago The reader, some
how, did not wonder that such things

Cultural Expansion

II the present policies OF the Gov
ernment of the United States are
examined with care, it will be seen
that basically and fundamentally
they represent a development which
is not limited to politics, military and
naval operations, commercial enter
prise or any other purely strategic
proceeding. 1t happens, too, that the
United States is expanding culturally
to the uttermost ends of the earth.
Some suggestion of the program
adopted by the State Department was
contained in the text of an address
given by DR.. Richard c. Pattee Of
the Division of Cultural Relations
recently. He told meeting Of the
Foreign Language Conference at
New York University that an official
plan" has been designed to stimulate
cultural interchange between Amer
lea and China, the Netherlands East
Indies and Iceland. This country,
he said, has "the great opportunity OF
maintaining alive the cultural and
spiritual values temporarily obliter-
ated" in the zones of war.
In illustration of what is being
done, DR.. Pattee explained that AM
bassador Hu Shih has indicated that
the people of China wish to be
informed about democratic prac-
tices." On the other hand, "the
Chinese people realize that Amer
leans are interested in them as a
profound cultural forcNin world
civilization
Similarly, there has been stinula-
