He Isn't a professional soldier. He is a CITIZEN soldier, re moved from his status as a citizen and inducted into the Army to de fend his country against its enemies. He recognizes this obli gation and ACCEPTS It The rec ord of our armed services is proof enough that he DOES HIS JOB lr( a whole-hearted and work manlike manner. 'But he remains a CITIZEN sol dier at heart, and as such he is burned to the core by the restric tions and the regimentations of Army life. ("Browned off" is the Army term for it.) He endures these restrictions and regimenta tions (Including a caste system trjut reduces the enlisted man to the humiliating position of a member of an Inferior class) partly because . he has to but chiefly because he realizes that discipline Is necessary in handling vast bodies of men in warfare and so contributes to the winning of the war and the defense of his (ountry's Ideals. So he puts up with the system, and relieves his feelings by grip ing just as we do on the home front. ' " ' " THE telllns-thccditor column carried by the Army newspa pers under various headings such as "Mail Bag," "B Bag," etc. has provided for the browncd-off GI an outlet for his pent-up discon tent that has been simply Inval uable. Up to now, the Army pol icy toward thrse publications has been liberal and intelligent, based upon tolcrcnt understanding tnat getting it off our chests does US, Americans a tremendous amount of good and enables us to get our troubles under our feet wjiere we can handle them. ;Now comes this new and utter ly; senseless policy of censorship that takes from the GI what he regards as his traditional Ameri can right to air his peeves. It lifks like a typical case of brass hat bungling. H (THING is more understand able than the GI's desire to get home. So far as he can see, his job Is done. It is up to him now to make his place in the viirld to get going on his per sijniil Job of reconversion. He knows that the longer he is kept away from home the scarcer the good Jobs and the promising op enings will be w hen he gets back. He hears vaguely about the re sponsibilities his country has been committed to, but he Isn't tillrt what these commitments arc. 1( isn't surprising if In his frame o( mind all this hay talk of corn mil monts Hpncars to him to be a lot of busDwah. Jit would be far better If instead o censoring his gripes out of print, thus compelling him to bot tle them up in bis system where they will be pretty sure to fester, the GI were told frankly and idlty all about these commit njrnts that prevent him from gel trtig home and getting back to work. ;There is a lot of room for more Jpmkness In our governmental .jst-m.

That title could well for the current March of Dimes, the annual benefit program for the National Foundation The campaign opened nationally Jan. 14 and continues throughout the month. A strong organization has been set up in Douglas county, under who has named division supervisors and chairmen for each community throughout the county. Numerous public events have been planned, in addition Approximately 13,500 men, women and children in the United States were victims making it the fourth worst It is estimated that 50 per cent 30 per cent suffered minor residual paralysis; 15 to 20 per cent were permanently crippled, and 5 to 10 per cent died. Infantile paralysis is one of the most expensive diseases known to medicine. Hospitalization for a single patient for one year usually costs more than $2,500. During 1945, local chapters throughout the nation spent approximately $5 million for care and treatment of patients. In addition, the National Foundation, which in its eight years of existence has spent more than $8 million for research and education, advanced in excess of one and one-half million dollars to aid local chapters which lacked funds to meet their needs. Doug las county chapter was forced to call upon the National Foundation for aid in 1944, but, through fine cooperation in the 1945 campaign, was able to repay the loan and has had funds with which to carry on its work during the past year. One-half of all contributions made to the March of Dimes remain in the county from which they come, to be used exclusively for hospitalization, transportation, care and treatment of poliomyelitis patients, purchase of orthopedic appliances and other special equipment, payment of fees of doctors, nurses, physical therapists and other professional personnel. The Douglas County chapter, for instance, paid ex penses of a Koseburg patient who spent seven months in a hospital. He was furnished with braces and a wheel chair. Recently he was sent to Los Angeles for a series of further treatments. A patient at Reedsport received hospitalization ; a physical therapist was sent from Roseburg at frequent intervals to aid in partial restoration of crippled limbs, and training was given neighbor women who could aid between trips of the therapist This service was continued for many months. Hospitalization, care, purchase of appliances, etc., was sponsored by the Douglas county chapter in other cases. But fully as important as program of research conducted dation, which receives one-half ' Scientists in 42 universities, medical schools and labora tories are working under grants from the Foundation, ieawhing continuously for means of preventing and curing poliomyelitis and for improved methods of treatment and care. Altogether, 92 institutions have received grants and appropriations totalling more than $8 million from the National Foundation since it was established in 1938. Certainly, accomplishments of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis and its subordinate chapters through out the nation speak for themselves. No one can doubt but that money contributed to this cause is being most efficiently used for the benefit of humanity. The campaign now is in progress in Douglas County. Your support and cooperation is urged. Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? and Asia.

The agency said also that John C. Collet, stabilization adminis trator, had told a meeting of In dustry representatives that his office is considering proposals for price changes In some lum ber regions. The price complaints were made by industry advisory com mittees which OPA said had en dorsed "in principle" the gov ernments new program aimed at spring construction of homes to sell at Jiu.uuu or less. Committee members. OPA said, reported that black market activity has risen to substantial proportions In the West coast area within the last 60 days and is believed to be taking between 70 and 80 per cent of production of some types of lumber in the southern area." The agency added that the committees expressed a unani mous oDinlon that unless price adjustments are made for lum ber and mill work production cannot be Increased. industry representatives saia that during the war the normal balance of Drlces In the industry had been altered by the govern, ment to make production of war required Items more attractive. 'This price unbalance con tinues," . the committees said, "and operates now to the detrl. ment of production of housing Items." ; LETTERS to the Editor SEES CONGRESS MIRED IN SPOILS SYSTEM; ADVISES CLEAN SWEEP BV PEOPLE ' President Truman has been on the radio again, reporting to "we the people," and striving to pres sure the Congress into the enact ment of some new legislation; among other things to better ef fect mediation of labor disputes, and to hasten peace time conver sion. These legislative bills in question, long" ago Introduced, lie dead in committee, and all the Dower and influence of the Presi dent has failed to bring them be fore the House for a vote, or to stimulate the introduction of some similar legislation to accomplish tne approximate purpose. inis is a very sad, shocking, deplorable, dangerous condition of attairs. rar more so than the avei age person may realize The sad. serious, and dangerous part about it is not so much the fact that this particular legislation has been bottled up by the rules com mittee, which is thumbing Its noses at the President; but it lies in the fact that this long out moded political spoils system, under which our Congress func tions, does vest the power In said committee to kill off any and all such legislation. In other words a very small group of politicians, seven, eight, nine or some such number, which may constitute the majority of one of these power, ful committees, can and does de cree the character and nature of the laws that they may believe are good for "we the people." and block the enactment of all others. Ours is by no means a govern ment oi me majorny out domina tion by a minor minority. Since membership on these all. powerlul committees Is inherited on a seniority basis, most of the said committee members have outlived the prime of their use fulness, long before they ruceecd to their committee membership. One thing certain, only hard, cal loused politicians can survive re elections to the Congress for a ullicient number of terms to In herit one 'it these membership An ercelli'M example is the late .Senator Hiram Johnson of Call. fornia, who took such an active part In wrecking the Leugnc of Nations back in 1919, and who worked in opposition to aln-ost everything progressive from thst time on, and yet was repeatedly returned to ofllce by his con stitutents until he died of old age about a year ago. President Truman wh n a sen ator saw nothing particularly ninK nun inis spous system; or If he did. any such utterances were given little or no publicity. As the chairman of a very power lul war contract Investigating luuiiiiiKi-v, nu naturally leu that up was uomg aiingnt. nut now, witn tne responsibility of the presidency to "we the people" upon his shoulders, he finds that inis spoils system has him hot tied up and rendered virtually helpless, and he don't like it and Is so telling the public in a double talk sort of way. It Is the sanie old. old story. It solely depends upon the posl. Hon one may occupy the shoes one may lie wearing, as to one's mental attitude toward each and every phase of life. The public has long suffered from corns and bunions, accepting them in Ignor ance as the decree of God; whereas they have been the de cree ot our politicians. Newly elected members to Con. girss don't like It either. Upon arriving at Washington to take RHEUMATISM 4 and ARTHRITIS ., ' ,";''" nn ninl am so thankful that I found relief from this terrible afflleatlnn that I will gladly answer anyone writing me for Information Mi Anna r.,. P. O. bo bj, aucouvr, Watte DAILY DEVOTIONAL DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS A missionary, taking up hli work In a strange- land, began at once to tell the listeners of Jesus. He told of the selfless love, Infinite compassion and tenderness, and the healing power of the Christ. He was pleased to see the Interest his words awakened. He noted the nods and smiles of his audience as he continued to tell of the Man who went about doing good. Finally, he asked how many had ever heard of this Man, and the response was eager and complete. Upon further Inquiry, he found out they were thinking of a doctor who had lived among them at one time and had ministered to them in sickness and health. Yes they said, "we knew him well that man." It is a won derful opportunity that is ours to live so that even the un learned and untaught may rec ognize the Chrlstlikeness irr our lives. This is what God re quires of us, and this Is what we should strive for. "I would be like Thee gentle Lord and Master, That men, beholding me, may ever trace Thy Image there, with some thing of the glory Clear in my eyes and shining on my face." Amen, , over their duties they find that they are just nobody, and that all their preelection promises are but empty gestures. They may Introduce bills galore, but tnat Is all they do introduce them. These all-powerful com mittees calmly pigeonhole these bills and that is the last ever heard of them. After the newly elected has been In Washington for a time. he learns that by trading spoils, and not taking his office too ser iously, that he can get along pretty well; and upon returning home for a visit he learns that his constituents never did expect very much frmo him anyway. Comes election time and he puts out a list of new promises, wins tne re-eiection, and on and on the cycle goes. As he builds up seniority, his spoils Increase, and tne more ne oecomes converted to the system. About a year ago a movement was started under the able leader ship of the late Francis Mahoney, senator from Connecticut, and Congressman -. Monroney from Oklahoma, that promised to go far in doing away with much of the long outmoded, and undemo cratic customs of congressional conduct. It was given much pub licity at the time, as being hope ful as the beginning of a new era, but Senator Maloney passed away, ana apparently an these good ideas died with him. The trouble is, that though a ma jority of the members of Con gress may voice a loud publicity approval of modernizing their modus operandi, In actuality the majority continue to to secretly fight any such changes, which are certain to deprive them of many of their present day pre rogatives, and much of their spoils. wnen president Truman sug gests to "we the people" that we need new blood In our Congress, he knows very well what he Is talking about. We have a Con gress that Is so Intricately bogged down In the mire of spoils. that It cannot function, and has long ceased to be any semblance of a representative of "we the people." tieeting a new member here and there will not cannot ac complish a thing. Such ' pro cedure merely feeds and continues the old system. What we need what we must have is a clean sweep, two elections in a row in the House, and three in the Sen ate. Only by cleaning house completely and electing new men wno nave no senonty to loose, can this spoils system of eov- ernment under which we are en slaved he eliminated. We have won a war, but we have yet to win Democracy and Peace. Unless we do go all the way and win Democracy and Peace for ourselves and the world at large, we rhnll only make moukery of the sacrifices of those vhom we left behind on the battlefields ol the world, and of those whose bodies we maimed.
