Associate Editor notes a small local publisher in Oregon with a long heritage dating from 1889. The item highlights the role of the editor and the paper's enduring community presence.
The columnist warns the current peril remains grave yet not hopeless. He argues the Axis cannot prevail in the long run as Allied defenses hold, including in Egypt where the front remains defended despite the looming threat of Tobruk, Sevastopol, and the Caucasus.
The article argues war will intensify across Europe and Asia, with Germany advancing in Ukraine toward the Caucasus, Russia facing oil-field losses, and Japan potentially pressing Russia from Siberia. It urges total US mobilization, war bond contributions, and mandatory service for men 18 to 60, while urging restraint from panic. It also recounts a summer in back country life and thanks local families for hospitality.
