In his speech at Westminster college In Truman's state of Mis souri he says he doesn't believe the Russians want war but thinks they DO want the "fruits of war and the indefinite expansion of their POWER AND DOCT RINES." He adds: "From what I have seen of our Russian friends and Allies during the war, I am convinced there is nothing they admire so much as STRENGTH, and there is noth ing for which they have less re tpect than for military WEAK NESS." That Is straight advice to us to STAY STRONG If we want to command Russia's respect. THE SEEKING MIND i i ' - . . . ' IHAT, specifically, does Chur chill think we should do? Well, naturally, he thinks we and the British should STICK TOGETHER much closer to gether than In the past. He even edds: "There may come the prin ciple of COMMON CITIZEN SHIP, but that we may be con tent to leave to destiny, whose outstretched arm so many of us can clearly see." Our British haters will throw a duckfit over that statement, but the fact remains that TWICE we have gone to war against our will to save Britain from destruction. ON THE home front. House Re publicans combine with South ern Democrats to KNOCK Ol'T President Truman's pet SiO0,- 000,000 housing bill SUBSIDY which he has termed the HEART of his homes-for-vetcrans pro gram. Whatever you may think ol subsidies, keep clear-eyed as to what they ACTUALLY ARE. They are payments out of the treasury to MAKE IT APPEAR that prices are being kept low for the benefit of the people. Under our deficit spending sys tem, they are added to our na tional debt and will have to be paid for with tax money. Experience tells us that as the years pass and the war boom dies down tax money will come hard er and harder. e e THE business of price ceilings on (lie new houses to be built remains to be fught out. If houses are anything like butter, the Issue will be whether we'd rather HAVE houses now at a higher price or DO WITHOUT THEM at a lower price. e REMEMBER, It Is the HOUSE 11 whose views on subsidies and reillngs we are dealing with 1c- day. The Senate remains to be dealt with later. The Senate Is decidedly New IVallsh and SPENDISH In Its at titudrs Inclining toward pay ment of ulldles, etc., NOW, adding tl? hill to the national ill lit and meeting the debt Issue LATER. The debt will have to lie rviiil by our young children and our grandchildren who won't vote at Immediately approaching elec tions. IT IS perhaps significant that the House -ALL of whose mem bers must run the election gaunt let THIS fall is getting tougher on money matters. Jt must Indi cate a growing belief among By CHARLES V. STANTON A brief item in a recent issue of the News-Review reported that Dr. George E. Houck had departed to take a short refresher course on the subject of allergies. Knowing the good doctor's modesty and his personal dislike of publicity, we pincerely hope ha will pardon our public comments con cerning him and will not be offended nor embarrassed. We hope young people will read these few words and will find inspiration in the deeds of this man, who, in our mind, is associated with such adjectives as "grand" and "wonderful." "Doc" Houck is not a young man. He is long past the age where most men in his position would be retired. He has.no need to. remain in practice, except for the good he does to humanity. But he is a victim of an impelling force that drives him on and on in search of knowledge. For almost a half century he has labored in Koseburg in a capacity generally described as that of a country doctor. Vet, while he served in an humble way as a general prac titioner in a small town, he has not lacked for national recog nition. As truly as Columbus, Magellan and other great explorers adventured into unknown places of the world, Dr. Houck has conducted as brilliant explorations in the field of medicine and surgery. His restless mind the mind of a researcher and experimenter has avidly groped for knowl edge and, at an age when the average man would surround himself with earned ease and rest, he i3 compelled by his insatiable mental hunger to delve into new fields. Dr. Houck's unrelenting search for knowledge ha3 been a personal inspiration to us for many years. We can well remember how, as a cub reporter, recently promoted from printer's devil to half-time in the news room, one of our first big news "breaks" came when we were among first arrivals at the scene of a murder a case in which a China man, victim of a tong war, had been quite thoroughly and very messily exterminated by means of a hatchet and long bladed knife some three hot August days previously. As we waited in that abattoir-like room, while Dr. Houck con ducted the official medical examination, he must have sensed that our knees and stomach were about to give up simul taneously, and he led us to his nearby office, where he poured out an effective stimulant and engaged our mind on more pleasant subjects until strength came back to our logs and our recent lunch became stabilized. In the years following that event, we have never ceased admiration of the good doctor, not only because of his work, but principally because of his mental restlessness his in satiable desire for knowledge, his impelling necessity for experimentation. He was one of the first to use "twilight sleep" in child birth, modifying a German formula which had not been too successful, producing a method which later came into general usej. Hewas one of the first surgeons in the fiekl of bone gMTIWfiK'and we well remember how his skill transformed a club footed boy to a star shortstop on our South End base ball team. He was one of the first to recognize possibilities of sulfa drugs in treatment of meningitis. His "firsts" are many. He was for years one of the recognized authorities on brain and nerve disorders. Yet, with all his accomplish ments, he was never satisfied to rest upon his laurels. He must ever be seeking something new. Not long ago we were discussing literature. We asked what he was reading. "I read only medicine," he replied. "My time is short and there are so many things I do not know." We are not attempting to advertise Dr. Houck. He en gages in only limited practice, and has more calls for his service than his physical capacity will permit him to accept. But we are inspired by a man who, considerably beyond the normal life span in years, is yet young enough in mind that he must return to school to learn something new. A man's capacity for education has been reached when he knows himself, when he understands himself, and when he resects himself. If he respects what he knows and understands himself to be, then ho has no further capacity for education. But if he cannot respect the extent of his mental cultivation, then regardless of all obstacles, he must of necessity strive on for greater knowledge. That is the great inspiration we find in the full life of our good friend, the doctor. We would that every young man and young woman today could find similar inspiration; that they, too, could envision the unexplored worlds open to the mind; that they might ever press on to new ideas. Such are the minds of the world's great. Such are the minds of men and women who build, design, create, men and women ho muke great discoveries, w ho achieve great things. Such minds are filled with insatiable curiosity; filled with a tie termination that as long as they exist they must feed upon tilings that are new. 4-H Projects In Oregon Reach New Record in Value National 4-H Club Week, March 2 to 10, is being observed in every county of the state through the cooperation of scores of organiza tions all eager to help Oregon's 30,000 club members continue to "make the best better," an nounces H.

Wilson has called upon club members to devote the same en ergy in meeting the postwar con ditions that they displayed in growing "food to feed a tighter." Youth, with training and some di rection, can play an Important part in meeting the knotty prob lems of rural people, he said. Ten guideoosts for 4-H club pro grams this year have been adopt ed.

Harold J. Hlckerson, presiding on behalf of President Horace Berg, who was prevented from attending, outlined the work be ing placed In hands of the vari ous committee groups.

Joe Marsli Jess Turner's labor troubles For four years Jess Turner ran his harness shop alone. But now his nephew's discharged from the Navy and is back to help him. ' Right away, it seems that nephew Delbert has some new ideas. He wants more money, shorter hours and meanwhile ess expenses hava been going up! So what does Jess do! Me invites Delbert to sit down over a friendly glass of beer and talk the situation over. Jess figures how he can give Delbert some extra dollars, and certain interests In the business; and Delbert figures how he can speed up production on harnesses and do some saddle work, beside. And they seal the bargain with an other friendly glass of beer. Of course, all labor troubles aren't so simple. But from where I sit if there could be more friendly discussion more give and take more tolerance and understanding both sides would be a heap bet ter off.
