farm. It is not too early to start
to plan your garden. Food preserva-
ton goes hand in hand with gar
dening and due to the tin can
shortage it is absolutely necessary
that every family dry, can, or
freeze everything possible to guar
antee their food supply. az
Those people interested in obtain
ing pressure cookers should write
to mail order houses and place their
name on the waiting list. There are
to be seven-quart size pressure
cookers available. It is not defin-
itely known as to the number OBJ
tainable for the Pacific Northwest;
there were $4,000 manufactured for
the entire country.
In placing orders, however, it is
hoped that in view of the totally
inadequate production, only per-
sons will order the Gamers who
expect to make them available for
use of several Families or for height
borhood groups.
If pressure cookers are not avail
able, drying of fruits and vegetables
has been very satisfactory. BY
having part of your food canned,
dried, frozen, or stored, it is pos
sible to have much greater variety
in your meals. It also makes it
much easier to plan meals without
monotony. Even though the same
vegetable will be served, there will
be variety in flavor. '..
Every family in this area should
have a winter food supply stored in
order to guarantee an adequate diet.
Our nations health begins here in
this valley, so preserve all food pos
sible for the coming year.

Terror Stalks
Nazi-HeldLand
Brutality, Starvation and
Sudden Death Is Dread
Picture of Ukraine.

GENEVA.-The conquered area OF
the rich Russian Ukraine. which
Adolf Hitler planned to make a
bountiful second American Mid lie
West" today is a scorched land,
ridden by terror, starvation and sud.
den death. That is the picture that
can be drawn from reports flowing
into Switzerland.
The Ukrainians have learned that
the collaboration Hitler prated about
means brutality, mass executions
and ruthless domination like some
thing from the dark ages.
There always has been a strong
movement in that conquered terri
tory for 1.-The Ukraines for Ukrain.
ians." Many of Josef Stalin's meas.
ures were highly unpopular. Some
Ukrainian autonomists were sent to
Siberia, while others went into exile.
Hitler Makes Pledges.
Before Germany and Russia went
to war a year ago. Hitler had made
marked progress in fostering the
strong Ukrainian independence
movement. Nazi agents promised
liberation from Stain to Ukraini-
an autonomist leaders, and had won
the cooperation of many of them.
But when the German legions be-
gan their march into Soviet terri
tory, something happened to the
Nazi Fuehrer's Machiavellian plan,
say advices from the invaded area.
Perhaps Hitler changed his mind
about the best method of securing
control of the life-giving Ukrainian
wheat. Perhaps the German army
got out of hand. At any rate, the
carefully cultivated collaboration
against Stain" gave way to black
oppression and determination of the
Ukrainians.~ i
The Nazi army quickly dropped
its talk of liberation and collabora-
ton. Ukrainians were told to drop
their arms and 60 back to work,
under penalty of death if they re-
fused. The Ukrainian autonomists
were imprisoned. The peasants were
told to toe the German mark.
The result was that the Ukrainians
stiffened their backs against the in
vaderS.
....s Tells of Brutality.
Tales of Nazi brutality came from
many sources. One told of slaugh.
ter in Kiev, city of about 600, 900
people at the time Of its conquest.
There, the Germans requisitioned
the best section of the city, moved
into large homes and settled down
for rest. Soon explosions rocked
that section and entire city blocks
went into the air. The Germans fed
to the outskirts to set up camp.
In retaliation, according to re-
ports reaching Geneva, they shot
$4,000 inhabitants.
These same reports say that the
Nazi army has showed it is blood
thirsty and merciless, in dealing
with conquered peoples. Entire viii
lagos have been blotted out in east
ern Europe. sr-E
The Ukrainians themselves have
a theory about all this. They be-
lieve that the German actions are
the result of certain general con-
ceptions that have been pounded
into the self-styled master race"
since Adolf Hitler assumed power in
$685. The chief of these concep-
tions, say the Ukrainians, is that life |
is a struggle between races and that
the only way to settle the score be-
tween hostile races is by extermi-
nation.
