LUBBOCK MORNING 1943 -To Alter Situation By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst One of the important results of great Russian victory along '20Jthe Lower Dnieper will be Russian yetj-eoccupation ot the Crimea. It will to falter the situation in -the Black sea entirely and have a direct ef- lc feet on the Balkans. The Russian victory has dealt a so staggering blow to the German army's strength on the Russian front through the heavy losses of J. ns men and material involved.

By 6 their renewed offensives above Kiev and on the central front, the make it clear that they vr are going to keep the enemy gaged all the vay up to the Baltic. Reinforcements Impossible That will make it next to impossible for the Germans to reinforce their weakened army in the and repair the dcmage ce caused. Therefore it is improbable that the Germans will be able to hold along the Bug river, and their position along the Dniester, bor- will be dubi- AT? FOR THE PEOPLE tj dering Bessarabia i ous. 1K: It means Rumania will be ex- pli posed by land through Bessarabia, loj and by sea and air from the Cri- iel How many Germans have been ps left in the Crimea as a sacrifice Tl to delay as long as possible the In reoccupatioh of the peninsula and particularly the great base of Se! to vastopol there is no way of telling. e's Whatever their number, they til not hold indefinitely, since they i in are completely cut off by land and can be supplied only by air oi or by a dangerous sea route.

cl Is Important Base in When the Russians regain Sevas- oi topol, they will be in a position to I gi establish undisputed and air control of the Black sea. Sevasto- 111 pol is only about 250 miles from the Rumanian port of' Constanta and less than that from the mouths ot the Danube. V- Below lies that Black sea coast gi of Bulgaria, with its ports of i Varna, and Burga. It is a question a Bulgaria, which has not declared war on Russia, would the Germans to occupy and tt ir is xi a use these ports against her. Bulgaria, now aware of impending German defeat, could not regard as other than suicide.

A determined Russian' effort by 'land, sea and air to drive the Germans back into Rumania and prive them of the in- Ploesti oil fields therefore would seem to have" good prospects of success. RECALLS OLD TIMES Editor, The Avalanche: There should be a few old-timers on the South Plains, who savvy corn pone chittlings and black sorghum. Of course, we old-timers did not know a darn thing about vitamins. But in the above mentioned food, surely were some valuable vitamins, for the old-timers did work had and thrive on the diet prescribed by nature. We had no dietitians to tell us what to eat.

We had no doctors to advise us to reduce by eating certain foods. We ate what was handy and called it a' meal. We ate sow belly, red hot onions, and sour dough biscuits, cooked in a dutch oven. We ate both fresh and dried beef, venison and bear meat. We worked hard, lived hard and spent the greater part of our lives in the wide open spaces.

So far as I can recall, we thought nothing about germs in milk or water. We lived in ignorance of many things which today are very essential to good health. Old-Doc carried a few bottles of medicine along with his calomel, quinine, blue pills and castor oil, paregoric and whiskey was to be found in every home. If you broke a leg. or an arm, Old Doc came and with brute strength set the limb, gave you some whiskey and went on his way.

You soon recovered and with plenty of backbone and determination, you mounted a horse 'and rode off to see after your long horn steers or Spanish ponies. The old timer who lives to tell of such a life is often scorned by the modern day generation. They can not realize the truth of the timer's and some of the stories, although true, sound like Believe It or Not. Today the modern folks have everything at their finger-tips. However, they are lacking in happiness and contentment.

That's why they need Lack Of Cotton Storage Serious Scarcity of cotton storage space remained a serious problem here Friday, cotton industry representatives said. Consequently, very few farmers were seeing any immediate money for their cotton. There was warehouse space for only a small quanitity- of bales, and thus the majority of farmers were without the warehouse re- eipts necessary to apply for a oan through the Commodity Credit corporation. Most Of Low Grade Sold Most cotton which was below oan qualifications was being sold, although some of it was being held at the possibility of a higher One authority estimated hat only about 20 per cent of this year's Lubbock county crop is in that category. Spokesmen for two firms said room was being found for cotton 'now and then," while a representative of another stated cotton was being taken occasionally for yard storage, despite the probability of considerable loss through weather damage.

It appeared what relief in store was to come slowly and sporadically, as cotton is removed to other points. Little success was reported in efforts by warehousemen lor an agreement with the Commodity Credit corporation which would allow them to store cotton outside without risking financial loss. Compress Needs Labor Space for several thousand more bales could be arranged here if labor were available to operate the compresses, it was report- No Limitations Being es Set Today rM rv I i For Rev. Foote Planned-On'44 Crops Although no detailed information has bqen received in Lubbock on the 1944 Agricultural Adjustment agency program, Walte Y. Wells, AAA official, reminded Friday that, at least, no limitations are planned on acreage of any crop.

Next year's program, "Wells said, mainly will concern conservation measures, "Congress has provided $300,000,000 for carrying out soil building practices such as terracing, contour farming, contour listing, turning under green manure crops, strip copping and many other similar practices," he stated. The official added that support prices will be paid ior grain sorghums, peanuts, soybeans and other crops that are needed in the war effort.
