A strong formation of allied fight
er planes machine gunned the 60
mile trail between Buna and Ko-

which the japanese used as store
houses for equipment and supplies,
and again bombed the important
Wairopi bridge which had been

WATCHFUL WAITING
ISN'T WORKING HERE

FL Centro's disgraceful failure to re-
spOnd as other Imperial Valley communi-
ties have to the nations need for scrap
metal indicates that something is radi-
cally wrong in the county seats cam
paign.
Possibly Ell Centro's drive leaders have
been trying to save too much money 1t
would be bad economy which sacrificed
American lives needleSSly on the battle
fronts, and American lives will be sac
rified if the nations steel mills are not
kept running at capacity throughout this
winter. If every community in the coun-
try responded to this drive as weakly as
FL Centro most of the mills would be
operating on half time by mid-winter.
Ell Centrans are supposed to pile their
scrap collections in the alleys, so that city
trucks can pick up the metal on their
regular rounds. The system was hit upon
as the most economical one that could be
devised.
1t was good idea, but it hasn't worked.
FL CentranS have been too cOmplacent In
most instances to go to the effort of gath
ering up their old metal and placing it in
the alleys In some of our supposedly
elite residential sections, where the city,
supposed civic leaders reside, not more
tnan one or TWO 0OnaUlOnS nave Deen It.

Brawley, Holtville, Imperial CaleXico

Centre in per capita collection of scrap

taking the easy way-and the supposedly
economical way In Brawley the Elks,
the Legion, the Boy Scouts and other vol
unteers have gone about on special scrap
collecting trips. In Holtville the Future
Farmers of America and practically every
civic group in the city has Joined wholly

send 1t is the same story elsewhere, eX-
ept in FL Centre. They haven't tried to
make the scrap metal drive an auxiliary
to every day life in other places. They
haven't depended entirely upon their city
government and city employees to do the
Job. They've made it part of the effort
to win the war not an adjunct of business
as usual.
The city crews, donating a day of work
next Sunday, deserve more than thanks.
They deserve scrap metal-and lot OF
it. But, above all, they deserve some help
by those who should help, and that means
everyone, in the way of canvaSsing the

NEWS TOO
LONG DELAYED

(Oroville MercuryRegiSter)
The sinking of the Yorktown is an
nounced from Washington after delay
of more than three months. The ques-
ton Immediately arises, what have we
lost in the meantime? After each naval
battle the country will wonder about
our losses. Every father and mother with
a boy in the navy will be in suspense.
1t seems it would be better to announce
our losses quickly. When Britain lost
two battleships off Malaga at the start
of the war with Japan the world knew
about it in a matter of hours. Our policy
is different, the President having ordered
that no losses of ships shall be announced
until after all the next of kin lost on
board have been notified.
We submit that it would be best to tell
of the loss at once rather than keep thou
sands unnecessarily in anxiety. The
people of the United States are entitled
to know their losses as they occur, unless
the news would give information to the
enemy. The Japs have known about the
Yorktown. They announced at once that
it had been sunk. There was no point,
then, in keeping the American people in
doubt

WELL?

"We are losing this war Assistant Sec
retary of Navy Ralph A. Bard said Thurs
day, lambasting what he called the Amer
ican public's native conceit.
On the same day, Selective Service Dir
ector Lewis B. Hershey said he opposes
""at present" using the draft ''as weap-
on against strikes in war production
plants.
And, again on the same day. there was
the announcement of conference at
which Interior Secretary Harold L. lckes
will attempt to induce coal miners to
lengthen their working time into six
day, AZ hour week-which, incidentally,
would leave 126 non-working hours, or
20 leisure hours per day after eight hours
per day is allowed for sleeping. The
miners now work five days a week, %
hours week
If, as Bard says, we're losing this war,
these two items reflect very little effort
by the administration to do something
about it.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE

son-sermon subject in all Churches
of Christ. Scientist. A verse selected
from Lamentations constitutes the
Golden Text: Thou o Lord, re-
mainest forever, thy throne from
generation to generation.
The lesson sermon relates an m
cident in Paul's experience. On the
first day of the week the disciples
came together to break bread.
paul" saTs the account in Acts,
preached unto them, ready TO de-
part on the morrow; and continued
his speech until midnight Euty-
chus, seated in a window, was over
come with sleep and fell down from
the third loft and was taken up
dead. And Paul went down, ana 1eii
on him, and embracing him SAID,
Trouble not yourselves; for his lie
is in him And they brought the
Young man alive, and were not a
little comfor.ed.'
A passage from Science ana
Health with Key to the Scriptures
by Mary Baker Eddy reads: "Ihe
fact that the Christ, or Truth, over
came and still overcomes death
proves the king of terrorS to be
but mortal belief, or error, which
Truth destroys with the spiritual
evidences of Life; and this shows
that what appears to the senses to
be death is but a mortal illusion,
for the real man and the real uni
verse there is no death-process.
Matter and death are mortal illu-
sions. Spirit and all things spiritual
are the real and eternal

LINES BROKEN

The Germans had hastily with
drawn large tank and infantry for
ces from their main assault on
Stalingrad and frantically attacked
in an effort to stop the threat to
their left flank. All attacks failed,
with heavy losses.
Soviet tanks broke into German
trenches. Infantry followed, con-
solidated the positions and hurled
back furious German tank and aer-
ial counterattacks.
The battle inside Stalingrad went
on with a mounting fury, behind
crumbling walls, sandbags and in
side Quilted houses.
Braving a ceaselesS rain of bombs,
the Volga river fleet rushed up a
steady flow of guns, shells and

AN ALLIED ADVANCED BASE
SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA,
Sept. -CUP)-AuStralian patrols
made up OF veterans who have
fought in Egypt, Greece and Crete,
are mcpping up the few score Jap
aneSe troops, weakened by privation,
badly disorganized and poorly arm
ed, who remain of the Milne Bay
invasion force.
Milne Bay destroyed any re-
manning idea that the japanese are
invincible in jungle fighting.
On the beach of the bay I saw
huge stores of captured japanese
food and equipment which had been
blasted by bombs and machine gun
fire from Allied planes.
ONLY SNIPERS LEFT
I saw many wrecked and partly
submerged invasion bargeS in which
enemy troops went to their death
as they tried to land.
I saw the beach StreWn with the
wreckage of tanks and drums of
high octane gasoline which the
Japanese landed in hope of estab-
fishing an air base.
The few snipers still operating
in the area when I visited it sew
eral days age, were all that remain
ed of the invasion force.
This Allied victory was won by
perfect coordination between the
air force and Australian ground
forces under Maj. Gen. Cyril Cloves
The planes played a big part
They caught the japanese in a
trap. Gen. Douglas Macarthur had
long foreseen their attack and had
established an air base in the area
