War has wiped out civilization more than once since history began, and Jt can do It again.) THERE are fads In education, as O'Neill said. These fads come and go, but usually they leave behind them something of lasting value, just as muddy rivers at flood leave behind the silt that forms rich al luvial valleys. That holds true of all fads. Silly as they seem at the time, they teach us something we didn't know before enrich our living hi some way or other. Kven the fad lor flagpole sitting helped to teach us that only that which Is L'SKKL'L is JIKN'KKICIAL. Don't let anybody fool you about education.

Black, a curly haired engineer, is i he ileim rt men t of the interior's only authentic Antarctic explorer, lie went to Little America with Ad miral My rd on his second expedi tion. Kvery expedition either to the Arctic or the Antarctic has to have a motive. Most of Ihe recent ones starting from this country have ex plained they were going there to limit weal her data. The weather bureau says it has some impor lanee. Double-Barreled Purpose Hut the current proposal, which is supported by Admiral Byrd, Is advanced on a double basis, pro lection of whaling rights and se curing our claims to that part of the Antarctic, already explored by Americans, Including Byrd, IClli worth and perhaps othors. . The idea has been mulled over hy varlotis government, agencies for several months but it was given an especial lilip when Germany re- ently laid claim to a whaling tract right in the heart of territory long laimed by Isorweuluns. The state department geographer, Samuel VV. Hoggs, told us thai the claim was close to the border line but didn't (pilte penetrate the western hemis phere so we won't have to send the navy down there to drive them out. , Whales are being wiped out pret ty last, what with Germany, Kng laud, Japan and Norway now in the ; field with these tremendous lac-, tory ships.

Japan trades hers to us In exchange for fuel oil for her husy war machine. Hut ait these things are only the big motivating forces. Captain Mlack is more immediately concern ed with the question of getting con gressional approval for the expedi tion. Admiral Byrd's trips cost close to a million dollars each. Plans are to make the government Job cost a lot less by using government boats planes and other facilities. Governments rarely get more for less, but lhat is the plan, anyway. Worked In South Seas Shortly after his return from the second Byrd expedition, Cajptuln Black was hired by the interior de partment to perfect the II. S. claim to Canton and Knherbury islands, those flat little atolls southwest of Hawaii 1.200 miles or so, which we am planning to use some time as trans-Pacific airplane stations.

Black has made four trips a year to Canton and Enberbury, taking supplies from Honolulu to the Haw aiian college boys who were living on the two Islands.

(AP) The bureau of agricultural eco nomies refuses to assume resion sibility for Oregon's butter trou bles. When Senator Rufus Holman wrote Secretary Wallace dairymen were blaming the bureau for ''cer tain activities, the result of which has been a lowering of quality of Oregon butter by a full point to a 1)1 score when such butter Is ship ped outside the state, the secre tary replied: The problem of some of the Ore gon creameries apparently results more directly fiuui the local condi tions surrounding the production, purchase, and grading of cream used in tl.e manufacture of butter and the application and enforce ment of the Oregon milk, cream and butter grading law, rather than from the grading of Oregon butter by the federal bureau of agricul tural economics." In another portion of bis memor andum, Wallace said: "While there has been some de crease in the percentage of butter receiving a grade of 92 score or higher, we are of the opinion that the protest is due more to a fear of the effect of the proposed lowering of the percentage of 92 score but ter that has been graded by our Portland office."

Daily Devotions DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS There Is a story of a young sculptor, the son of a sculptor, who worked earnestly on a sta tue but could not seem to make It right. As he left it every eve ning, he found, as he felt over It. that It was marred, here and there with rough places, ugly Hues, little defects that he seem Ingly could not correct. But strange to say. every morning the defects were gone. During the night the father, a master of the art, would slip into the studio and correct it all In the space of a few hours work. One day the young sculptor discover ed the truth and he cried. "The master has touched this." So it Is with us, God smooths off the rough and rugged edges and softly with a deft hand works out the rough places, wipes out the ugly lines 1n our lives, and a man is suddenly transformed. And we say the Master has touched him. Hear Father, Thou art the Sculptor of our lives. Mold us and fashion us after Thy mind, that our lives may be beautiful to behold, for Jesus sake. Amen.
