kUIBYSHEN, Russia April Z -
(UPl-Air warfare on the Russian
front appeared today to be fast re-
gaining last summers fury and
the Germans were paying dearly in
pilots and planes for few results.
Last midnight's communique re-
ported the destruction OF 119 Ger
man aircraft. Saturday, 102 Ger
man planes were demolished.
Reviewing the war in the air
the Russians said they had de-
Stroyed Ais German planes and lost
only "a of their own in the eight
days ended last midnight.
Between March 80 and April !. .
the German air force lost 296
planes the communique asserted.
Our losses were 81"
TAKING BEATING
From the increasing number of
enemy planes destroyed. it seemed
that the Germans were trying to
take the initiative in the air and
were taking a terrific beating.
Nothing important" happened
yesterday, the communique said,
although the Germans tried sew
eral counter attacks in one sector
and were beaten back Then the
Germans, attempting a flank at
tack, dropped 60 parachutists.
Soviet machine gunners got 81 be-
fore they toucned the ground.
After softening up German de
fenses along river where the
Germans had intended to hold out
until it was swollen by the spring
thaW. the Russians broke through
the communique said.
Our advance continues" it said.
The Germans were trying des-
perately to hold key positions in
the Donets Basin and en- the CEN
tral front, where Marshal Semyon
and Gen. Gregori
Zhukovs armies, according to of
ficlal reports have been killing
Germans wholesale.

What we can do, however. viii be lot
more effective if we do il together.
Camp Seeley's military personnel is
highly appreciative of the many projects
undertaken by valley residents IN the
units behalf Several of the officers
have declared that seldom have they seen

We know. who know the community,
that there are many more who would
like to take a hand in demonstrating
their support of the army who have not
been as active as they would like simply
because there is no widely known clear
ing house through which all proposals,
all plans and all activities can be routed.
When military camps first began to

government announced that the Red Cross

ed board or bureau. made up of volun-
teers willing to devote the time that
would be required, to act as a clearing
house for all projects proposed for Camp
Seeley Not only would such a board pro
vide civilians with specific place to take
their suggestions, but it would be in a
position to confer with camp commanders
on what is most needed and most wanted
by the military personnel.
A board like this would be time saver
all the way round. 1t would remove
from the shoulders of busy army offic-
ials the necessity Of talking to repreSen-
tatives of many groups, it would give an
outlet to the energies of some who want
to help, but do not know what to do.
and it would result in a unified program
in which every separate project could
dovetail into the general picture.
The board could find out what the
camp itself wants, and then proceed to
see that its wants are filled.
Well get farther, with less wasted
energy, by working together.

INGENUITY

A lot of American business men-many
of them in Imperial Valley-are awak
ening to the realization after the first
shock Of wartime economic dislOcation,
that while business may not go on as
usual it is vital to make sure that it does
go on.
A seemingly strange contradiction is
involved here. Business leaders are real
izing that patriotism today requires a
certain amount of selfishness; in this
respect it is the businessman's job to
see that his firm continues on a paying
basis so that this country will survive
not only the war, but the postwar period.
Without business as we know it, the coun-
try could not very we'll survive the post
war readjuStment.
SO American ingenuity comes into play.
The man who cannot continue to sell
every article he has sold in the past now
redoubles his effort to sell those things
which he still handles His psychology
is sound The purchasing dollar is still
there; il is going to be used to purchase
something.
The smart businessman is not the one
who folds up in times like these. He
merely alters his course little, and
continues doing slight : different bust
ness at the same old stand
