IT is a sad coincidence that two
men, long leaders In business
and community affairs, were tak
en to their last resting pluccs
this week. Yesterday we men
tioned the passing of Gene Par
rott. This afternoon 13. V.
Strong, former merchant, bank
er, and civic leader was hurled.
Mil B. W. Strong lived in
Iloseburg 50 years. He was well
known and universally liked in
every section of our great coun
ty. The diversity of his interests
encompassed by his long career
here caused him to become ac
quainted with more people, to
have more friends, than is the
fortune ot most men. B. W.
Strong will be greatly missed.
We note with sadness also Hie
passing of good old Dick Can
non, the dean of all old-time fid
dlers. This column is not meant to be
devoted to obituaries however
much we would be pleased to pay
a last tribute of a few words to
each of those who arc called as
the days roll by. Time and
space does not permit it. We
live In a busy world. Nor should
anyone complain, for we humans
have made our world the way It
is. We hustle and bustle and do
this and do that and rush madly,
often at reckless speeds. The
news of the world Is the news, of
what happens today. There Is
little or no time for reflection
upon what has happened before.
There Is only a brief ause to
honor the memory of those who
have dropped from our midst.
Our job, as producers ot the
News-Review, is to chronicle
what takes place today, leaving
for historians a discussion and a
calm description of what took
place yesterday.
Today a memorable event pass
ed into history. A president of
the United States was formally
Inducted Into office. It is the
first time in the history of our
country that one man has been
accorded tills honor three times.
The event was duly recorded In
the newspapers and was broad
cast by the hundreds of radio
stations, but having quickly ab
sorbed the shock -either of vic
tory or defeat depending upon
the Individual preference- soon
after election day, the inaugura
tion ceremony actually rated
only passing attention by people
generally.
Democracy, true government
hy the people, can "lake it." We
do not rail out firing squads or
remove heads here In America
when n change in government
lakes place. We arc accustomed
to the principle of rule by the
majority of free votes, and we
are content to abide by any deci
sion arrived at In that way.
ITiosc of us who disapprove of
some of the policies of the ad
ministration will, on the other
hand, do everything possible to
aid in their being carried out
once they are duly made Into
law. That Is being demonstrat
ed every day, and lias been dem
onstrated over and over again
throughout our history. That Is
the spirit of America and that is
why we shall remain free and
proud -at least so long as we
love and appreciate freedom anil
the right to choose our own government.'
Missing Seminary
Girl Pupil Sought
TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 20.
(AP) Spurred on by the girl's
father, city and state officers con
tinued searching today for Carol
Falk, 15-year-old pupil missing
from exclusive Annie Wright
seminary here since Saturday.
Dr. Ralph Falk, prominent
Boise, Idaho, physician, arrived
here yesterday after flying from
his home when informed of his
daughter's absence from school.
Miss Falk, described by a school
mate as five feet, six Inches tall,
weighing 150 pounds, was missed
from the seminary at 1:30 p. m.
Saturday. Neither teachers nor
other pupils saw her leave.
"I think," Dr. Falk said, "that
she's at the age now where most
girls want to go out and earn
their own living, so I think that s
what she has done." Asked if
Carol had previously expressed
such a desire, he replied, "yes,
she has."

3 Freed in "I Am"
Case; No Accord
On Remaining Six
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 21.
(API --Three of nine defendants
In the "I am" trial were acquit
ted of mall fraud charges yes
terday. A federal Jury declared itself
unable to reach a verdict in the
case of six other defendants, in
cluding Mrs. Edna Ballard, wi
dow of the founder of the move
ment, and her son, Donald.
Acquitted were Charles Sinde
lar, portrait painter, his wife and
Frank von Derhoya, formerly of
Dallas. ' ' ,
Defendants on whom no verdict
was reached, In addition to Mrs.
Ballard and her son, were Louis
Majerus and Paul Stickell of
Chicago; William J. Cassiere,
former Louisiana publisher
known in the movement as
"Brother Bill," an itinerant
teacher; and Betty Mundy, for
merly of Miami. Fla.
That the six will be tried again
was Indicated by Federal Judge
Leon R. Yankwich when he said
the case would be re-set in the
term calendar beginning Feb. 3.
Court observers said, however,
that the government could move
for a dismissal.
The defendants were indicted
on 17 counts of mail fraud and
one of conspiracy. Prosecuting
attorneys contended the move
ment's leaders had conducted u
$3,000,0002 "racket" by preying
upon the faith ot their follow-v-rs.
Testimony and arguments
In the six-week trial were con
cluded last Thursday.
Newcomer Influx Shown
By Driver Applications
A large influx or newcomers in
to the stale ot Oregon is evidenc
ed by the great number of appli
cations lor automobile drivers'
licenses, according to Ward Mc
Reynolds, examiner from the
state motor vehicle department,
Mr. Mt'Ileynolds visits Iloseburg
each Tuesday to receive applica
tions for licenses and reports
that examlnalions each week av
erage about 35. By far the great
er number of applicants, he
slates, are from people who
have moved into Douglas county
from other slates. The same con
dition, he reports, prevails In
other southern -Oregon localities
where he operates. Aside from
the newcomers applying for li
cense, Hie license applications are
made chiefly by young persons
reaching I he age which permits
them to operate motor vehicles.

Alien Registering
Law Isn't State's
Power, Court Rules
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.
(API The supreme court held
yesterday that passage of the
1940 federal law requiring regis
tration of aliens invalidated a
1939 Pennsylvania alien registra
tion statute.
Justice Black delivered the
opinion, which upheld justice de
partment contentions that the re
gulation of alien registration "is
exclusively the concern of the
federal government.
Justice Stone wrote a dissent
Ing opinion In which Chief Jus
tice Hughes and Justice McRey-
nolds concurred.
Justice Black said that "the
power to restrict, limit, regulate,
and register aliens as a distinct
group is not an equal and con
tinuously existing concurrent
power of state and nation, but
'whatever power a state may
have is subordinate to supreme
national law."
Justice Stone, in his dissent
in goplnion, asserted;-
"Assuming, as the court holds,
that congress could constitution
ally set up an exclusive regis
tration system for aliens, I think
it has not done so and that it is
not the province of the courts to
do that which congress has fail
ed to do."

SERIAL STORY
CONSCRIPTS WIFE
BY BETTY WALLACE
YESTERDAY: Martha evades
Paul, makes preparations to visit
Bill. Paul suddenly turns up at
the apartment, apparently in
tending to go along. When Mar
tha finally tells him she doesn't
want him to go, he asks what is
wrong. She has been avoiding
him. He had promised Bill to
look after her: She finally tells
him that before Bill left there
were three of them
CHAPTER X
PAUL ANSWERS QUESTIONS
Paul Elliott stared down at
Martha, speechlessly, as the
echo of her words hung in the
stillness. "The three of us," she
had cried. And the implications
of those words were suddenly
filling the room suddenly so
plain, so clear, so hurting that
she wanted to run away from
him. She could not bear the
look in his eyes, the way a
muscle in his lean cheek was
twitching.
He fumbled in his Jacket pock
et for his pipe, at last. He tamp
ed tobacco down into the bowl
with a blunt forefinger, taking
an awfully long time about it.
And still the silence shrieked be
tween them.
He fumbled in the pocket
again for matches. Very deliber
atelyas if ho wanted time to
pass, as if he needed time to re
cover from this blow Paul
scratched a match, and sucked
on the pipe-steam, lighting the
tobacco.
The flame lit up his face in a
fleeting orange glow. The grave
dark eyes, the straight nose, the
firm controlled mouth were
etched clearly, like a picture on a
screen, Hashing and then dim
mlng.
Oh, I didn't want to hurt
him," Martha thought in dismay.
He's so fine, so worthwhile.
Maybe I'm destroying something
I'll never find again. I hurt him
once, when I married Bill. He
forgave that." She thought of
the clean, unselfish friendship
the strong arm, always ready to
help her and she experienced a
sinking sense of loss.
I didn t mean to say that,
Paul," she cried quickly. "I I
didn't mean it the way it
sounds."
Sit down, Martha," Paul said
gently. "Sit down here and let's
talk this over."
"But but there's nothing to
talk over." Again the panic and
the uncertainty as if her feet
were scf on a bit of earth that
kept sliding out from under her.
The whole thing's silly, really.
1 didn't mean to put it that
way" Her fingers smoothed
the maroon housecoat, nlaved
with the ornaments on the zip
per pull,
Paul pushed her gently down
on the sofa. He sat beside her.
Martha, we must be honest
with each other. Since this i
tnln6 nas come up since we've j
aireaay siartca discussing it ,
I let's drag It out into the light
and examine it.
"You have been avoiding me.
Definitely. I couldn't understand
why. What you Just told me
makes it very clear. It's because
Bill is not here."
Almost, his voice was like the
voice of the Paul who sat in the
private office at Air Transport,
discussing with the chief en
gineer the stresses, strains, and
examining the evidence to ex
plain the crumpling of a wing
in the wind tunnel. "You said
'the three of us.' Meaning, now
that, there are Just two, you and
1" - he smiled, but his eyes were
n't ssmiling -"Thc situatio.i has
changed. Either you haven't
ever really wanted me about,
since you and Bill were mar
ried . . ."
She gasped. "Paul! That's not
sri! I don't sec how you can
think that."
"Then, Martha, your remark
must mean that you that you're
afraid of me. Or of how our be
ing together with Bill away
looks. It doesn't look proper, Is
that it?"
She stirred uncomfortably.
"No, that's not it."
"I don't believe you, Martha.
Once there was a time when I
would have sworn that gossip
lOther people's incorrect opinions
meant nothing to you. But
now, especially after what Su
zanne was foolish enough lo gel
excited about "
Martha's little start, the un
guarded gasp that escaped her,
was enough to betray the fact
that Suzanne had had a finger in
tills, too.
Paul said, sadly, "So she came
to you, too."
"She she only wanted to
warn me," Martha said miser
ably. "She knew there v.as
nothing In II, but -" The mem
ory of her neignnors whiscrs,
the remark that even the clean
ing woman had made, burned in
her mind. "She was right, Paul.
Besides, It wasn't fair to her, that
when you t-took her out I should
always ho there, like a -like a
fifth wheel"
"Suzanne Is Intensely emotion
al. She has an imagination that
sees a roaring blao where other
lxople see not even a wisp of
smoke." saltl Paul, vliooslug Ills
COPYRIGHT, l4l.
NEA SERVICE, INC.
words very carefully. "I'm fond
of Suzanne, sorry that she she
spoiled things."
No words came to Martha. She
could only sit there, picking- at
that foolish little zipper orna
ment. "You'll break it," Paul said.
And now he was in absolute con
trol of himself. He stood up.
"Look here, Martha. Let's be
honest to the very end of the
thing. We used to be engaged.
I I thought I was in love with
you, and you thought you were
in love with mc, and it's that
knowledge which makes our
friendship now look queer while
your husband's away."
Martha's lips parted. A great
tight band seemed to be closing
around her chest. It hurt to
breathe.
Paul said quietly, "But people
are wrong. I'm not in love with
you now. You re only my ocsi
friends wife, and I want to
make his absence less difficult."
Yet, even as the words left his
lips, Martha saw that tell taie
muscle, twitching there in the
hollow of his lean cheek. "I'm
not in love with you now." How
steady his voice was! How rigid
the control with which he rein
ed himself!
Only, as his fingers curled into
fists; as his teeth clamped down
on the pipestem in his mouth;
as Martha stared at him, her
heart beating fast Paul's eyes
were giving him away. Tnose
clear eyes, looking down into
hers, were shining with a look
she remembered too well. Steady
eyes, gentle eyes, eyes that could
not smile even when he forced
his lips to smile. Eyes that could
not lie, even while his lip; lied.
His love for her, unchanged
since the day he first slipped
their betrothal ring on her fing
er, shone in Paul's eyes and Mar
tha turned her head away, a
poignant pity sobbing Inside
her.
"I was silly, Paul," she whis
pered. "Suzanne was silly.' Of
course of -course you're not in
love with me!" She broke away
from him and said, more norm
ally, "And now I've simply got
to dress and get started. It's
late."
He took his car keys and put
them on the table. "You must
take my car, Martha. A hun
dred miles is too far that that
wheezing wreck of yours." He
picked up his hat. "The car's
downstairs. Have a' good time.
Tell Bill I said hello."
w
An hour later, as she got be
hind the wheel of Paul's new car,
Martha was glad he had insisted.
The hum of quiet power, when
she started the motor, was reas
suring. "And please, Butch," she
told the dog, 'stay on the news
papers 1 ve spread on tne scat.
ml docsn t want your nair an
over his car."
It was a long drive. Plenty of
time to think, in a way, it was
better they'd had it out. Paul
would go on pretending, but with
this scene vivid in their minds,
Paul would not insist so strenu
ously on seeing her every night.
She wouldn't have to stall him ol f
so much. Gradually, they'd see
less and less of each other. This
way was easier, less hurting,
than the abrupt ending she had
tried to achieve.
A swift gray bus came up be
hind her. Her toe on the acceler
ator pressed down a Dit harder.
"Martha." she admonished her
self, "keep your mind on your
driving if you expect Bill to see
you all in one piece."
Tomorrow morning, earl y,
she'd be seeing her husband.
Feeling his lips on hers, hearing
the gladness In his voice.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll be
where I belong. With Bill!"

fare administrator. Records al
ready in the welfare department
office permit making up the list
of eligibles without requiring per
sonal interview.
Upon completion of the list or
eligibles," advised Mr. Johnson,
detailed information will oe
sent each family. How the plan
operates, what needs to be done
to buy food stamps by mall all
this will be carefully explained."
How Plan Operates.
Purpose of the plan is to move
overabundant crops into the
homes of under-consuming fami
lies. For every dollar's worth of
orange colored food stamps, good
for any and all foods for human
consumption, stamp plan partici
pants receive fifty cents free of
blue surplus food stamps. The
blue stamps are good only to pur
chase those foods which are de
signated as "in surplus" by the
secretary of agriculture.
Stamps are used in tne same
manner as cash at any food store
which wishes to accept stamps.
Such stores must be approved by
the surplus marketing administra
tion which redeems the stamps
for payment to the retailer by
the U. S. treasury. It is found
that most retailers turn their
stamp cards over to wholesalers
as payments on account.
The inauguration of the food
stamp plan eliminates direct dis
tribution of surplus commodities
through welfare department
trucks and depots.
On the surplus food list at the
present time are. butter, eggs,
raisins, rice, pork lard, pork (to
include all pork which is not cook
ed or packed in glass or metal
containers), corn meal,"i;dr'ied
prunes, hominy (corh)-grlts, dry
edible beans; wheat flour and
whole wheat (graham) flour,
Irish potatoes, fresh oranges,
fresh apples, fresh pears, fresh
grapefruit, fresh cabbage and
onions (except green onions).

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS
A word fitly spoken is like
apples of gold in baskets ot
silver. What power there is in
words. Unfitly spoken they
may destroy a reputation,
break a heart, destroy a friend
ship. Vulgar, coarse words
may destroy the sacrcdness of
love. Words carelessly spok
en may change the course of
another's life. Starting him
dow n toward a degraded char
acter. But again what power
there is in words, fitly spoken
they bring harmony in human
relationships, replace despair
with hope, mitigate sorrow,
inspire to noble Ideals and dis
sipate loneliness. These kind
of words are as beautiful and
as valuable as the most pre
cious metals. They are like
fruit of gold in baskets of sil
ver. In the mind of God Chris
tian words would go with
Christian character. Any other
combination would he illogical
and unnatural. Words of cour
tesy and kindness should dis
tinguish the siccch of follow
ers of Christ. "Men flying
kites, haul in their white
winged birds. You can't do
that way when you're flying
words. Careful with fire is
good advice, wo know. Care
ful with words is ten times
doubly so. Thoughts unexpress
ed may sometimes fall back
dead, but God himself can't kill
mem once they re said. Amen.
