Stanton In cnnrdion villi the labor trouble beinjf experienced Itv The Xnws-Iieviow, an announcement by the State Un employment Comppiisation commission is particularly in-1 Icrost ni'.r. Thi commission reports that "after leading the nation in hourly ami weekly ra miners in April, Oregon's production workers established even higher marks in May." Oieiron's production workers earned higher wages than in any other state. Knibloycs in printing and publishing had the highest hourly rate of all Oregon workers, average weekly wages advancing sharply from ?78.16 to $83-27, as compared to ;t new high of $(0.!M for workers in non-durable goods and a drop from .$i9.:',2 to $66.66 for paper products work ers. Lumber and logging earnings set a new high of $73.33; workers in durable goods received more than ever before at $71.02 a week. According to this report, employes in printing and pub lishing were the highest paid class of workers in the nation. The wage scale offered by The News-Review, $2.25 per hour for a ."7 12 hour week, is as high as paid by any-other daily rewspaper in Oregon. Yet, The News-Review is charged with being "unfair." lint, continuing with the Unemployment Compensation commission's report, it is stated that averages for produc tion workers employed in more than 400 Oregon plants show earnings of $1.7H per hour and $69.47 per week in May, compared with $1.75 and $68.79 in April. J!v way of comparison, other top states included Michi gan ?(8. if, Wyoming $67.47, Washington $66.93-and Cali fornia $62.9-1. Kor the unfile nation $,")6.93 was the average weekly rale with durable goods at $6112 and non-durables $52.17. Editorial Comment . From The Oregon Press Cock To T!i3 Caves , By BILL JENKINS Editor Klamath Falls Herald & News A recent A? dispatch carried this message: "Numerous casunliies wore reported among the Red ground troops caught in a storm cf rockets, bembs, machine gun bullets and for the first announced time the jelly-like explosive called Mctnahn. Ths incendiary liquid, composed of gasoline mixed in a secret saap-l'.ks substance, is carried in special belly tanks. The tanks are cropped end explode on contact, spraying flaming gasolina in oil directions. A new wc:p-n of war. A war fought, of course, to preserve the peace. No war is ever fought for any other reason, apparently. When you think of the new weapons of de struction it is hard to keep your mind from looking backward. Ticture a "gloomy cove high on a hillside several hundred thousand years ao. Squatted in the entrance Is a squat, hairy men patently chipping away at a bit of flint or obsidian putting a keen cubing edge on it. When man Invented the knl'o, ha first used it to kill and butcher his meat. Soon he was using it to "defend the peace of his cave" against intruders v.ho moved into the same volley with him. Later i.i history another of the cave dwellers stumbled I lie idej of the bow and arrow. I can picture him now, putting the finishing touches on his creation " and thinking to himself "hoy, this weapon will be so terrible it will end war fsr c!l time." The ago of armored knights came and with it came use of the broadsword, the crossbow and the battering ram. Then came gunpowder. Then enme high explosives. Then planes and finclly poison cjns. 1-or years people said that poison gas was such a terrible weapon thnt another war would never be fought. Then came world wjr two, fought despite poison gas, little of which was used except in the burning pits of German concentration camps. At the end of the war came the atom bomb. When we first read of the A-bomb we all thought again that here wes a weapon that would end war. Now we have nlrcad' developed, tiicy tell us, a helium bomb that makes the atom boirb look like a plaything for the children. We etc ol.r.ost beck to that cave on the hillside. The only inference will be that we aren't as well prepared to stand t It 3 rigors of climate and the daily drive for food and shelter as wus cur predecessor. After the H-bombs have blown cil the houses, ell the cities and most of the people off the face of tne rorih, you II be rirpt back there eating with your fingers IF you think it ain't tounh, rjp out on a picnic sometime in your bare fect viih a pinch of salt and a knife and see how soon you 3?t finch by running down a rabbit, mole or porky and trying to cosk hen ever in open fire even one you built with matches, After cil tltat we can go back to work building up our crscncil in order to "maintain the peace" in our own valley or mountain or cove or wherever you end up living in.

After the Long Beach earthquake the gas was not turned on any where until each line and each house had been inspected for safe ty. So for some time folks made out as best they could for cooking and bathing, the latter being most ly what an aunt who had home steaded used to call the 'lick-and-a-promise kind. So when a friend had water and heat before we did, she promptly urged us .to "come and have baths" and we lost no time enjoying a good hot "soak. This Is the third day now we have been making out with lick-and-a-promisf bathing. Not only that, but I keep turning on the fau cet and when no water runs I feel OPEN HOUSE will be held to day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with members, employes and the general public invited to view the newly-completed, mod ernistic home of the Douglas Electric Cooperative. The new building, located on 'Highway 99 north ebout a quarter of a mile from the Garden Valley junction, features the very latest in building and room design, lighting and use of eye-ease colors. The structure was built at a cost of about $64,000, excluding the cost of the lot and equipment. Manager Har old Backen Jr. Is pictured in lower photo, seated at his desk the new ottice. aee also story on page one. (Staff photo.) think any evidence we have so (ar showa that to be a (act." What does he think is happening to the enemy? Well, he comments that uie Norm Koreans are taking "terrific can- headquarters estimates Red cas ualties, "uenerai uacArtnura that accurate figures are impos sible. ) The briefing officer thinks perhaps our strategic bombing is begining to show on supplies reach ing the enemy front. "Strategic" bombing, you know, is bombing lar to the nemy's rear, smashing up hia supplies, knocking out nis trucks and railroad trains, and so on. No army ever yet was able to fight without supplies. The briefer in the Pentagon also refers lo dispatches telling that only four Commie tanks have been seen in the past day. That, he says, "is a good sign." He adds. "It might be that the enemy is GETTING LOW ON GASOLINE." It might, indeed. There isn't too much gasoline in that part of the world. You must have noted that the British have shut off the petrol they had been sending into Com munist China. So much for the goodish -news. This paragraph is grimmer: "A Red force to the east (of 0 in line at Taejon) poses a serious threat. General MacArthur's head quarters report the Reds are mov ing reinforcements to their fifth di vision driving southward from Tan yang, 60 miles northeast of Tae jon, STRIKING FOR AMERICAN SUPPLY LINES." . This Commie column is trying an end run around our right flank. It is heading down a long, more or less flat, valley that leads to Pusan. Pusan has been our port of entry for our campaign so far in Korea. Here the ships come and discharge their cargoes. Here the cargo planes land at a big air port. This paragraph is from a dis IF THE COMMIES STRIKE CLEAR THROUGH AND REACH THEIR OBJECTIVE, PUSAN WILL CEASE TO BE A PORT OF ENTRY AND WILL BECOME A PORT OF EMBARKATION. Be cause of the way the roads and the railroads run, if we have to face a Dunkerque it will probably be at Pusan. THIS PARAGRAPH IS FROM A patch sent by Bill Moore, one of the correspondents at the fight ing front. It is grimmer still: "Thirty wounded American sol diers are reported tonight to have BEEN SHOT TO DEATH ON THEIR LITTERS by the North Kor eans who swarmed across the Kum river Sunday night." Do you remember, from your school histories, the name of Gen ghis Khan? And of Attila? Well, these Russian Communists, who arc backing the North Korean Com munists, who are doing this shoot-1 ing of wounded men and prisoners, I are racial descendants of Ganghis ! Khan and Attila.

When we returned from Victoria we found one end of the 12-inch plank where the pump rested, had fallen, and the pump was at a crazy angle. What ever kept it from crashing down Into the sprinvj we'll never know, for one end rest ed only on air. Was that a job to get props under. The high bank behind had begun to force the back timbered wall inward, and at a touch it collapsed into the spring. Earth followed. All that had to be shoveled out of the spring. E. J. found it difficult to get help, and was pretty well worn out, when a neighborly friend from the Bear Creek canyon came over and lent a strong back and knowledge of Note Satisfaction Placed In Decree Above U.S. Lien Circuit Judge Carl E. Wimberly has issued a decree ordering fore closure of a mortage held by Ken neth W., and Hallie Ford. Dis pensation of the property was or dered through a sheriffs sale to recover $25,572.47 allegedly unpaid on a $30,000 promissory note signed by Frank W., and Fay McCulloch. Also named in the order w?s the United States of America (Bu reau of Internal Revenue), which held a lien on the property in volved. It was ordered by Judge Wimberly that the claim of the plaintiffs shall be superior to the lien of the United States. The lien had been placed on the property for S24.784.68 allegedly unpaid in come taxes. The order stated that after payment of the promissory note, the proceeds would be applied to the U.S. claim. The property mentioned is situat ed in the northwest half of the southwest quarter, section 36, township 30, south, range 8 west, Willamette meridian, in Douglas county, south of the Camas Valley area. The plaintiff was also granted s.1,500 attorney s fees and costs. tto ft BERGH'S APPLIANCE Service 1200 S. Stephens arn LETTERS to the Editor Two Sutherlin Dogs Victims Of Poisoner v SUTHERLIN Last Saturday evening and late Sunday afternoon our pet Dachshund and two other neighborhood dogs met with sud den death. The cause? Poisoning. The evidence? Partially eaten and regurgitated "hot dogs." The type of poison is, at this writing, un known. An analysis will answer that question. I do not wish to comment now on the distortion and depravity of the mind that conceived and per petrated such a crime; nor do I wish to comment on what the loss of our pets has meant to us any rhetoric on the subject would be superfluous to a dog lover and in comprehensive to the maniacal crank who killed our dogs. But I do wish to point out the urgency of tracing crimes of this nature to their- source. You see, I have two chubby lit tle children who are very fond of eating and who have not the least a.-ersion to a little garnish of dirt on their food. The poisoned "hot dogs" would have been a tempt ing snack for them but "Sophie' found them first. The next time poisoned food is put out for a dog, its vicim may instead be a child. THERESTS S. SEYMOUR Sutherlin, Ore. Vital Statistics silly. How strong is habit! Bv the how to set cement blocks. A friend tune 1 get a meal on the table I in need is a friend indeed! I feel nearly addled you should see f Our springhouse will be aln-os; 'our kitrhen! I'ots and pans and ( like the one we dreamed about hav- Retties aim pails selling arouna lull 1 lng, during our city years. The wa nt water. Oh yes, the washing ma- trr is a joy to even look at in a chine, too. Were we tickled last I glass, so sparkling clear, and a dp. night lo find that! We had forgotten that was filled too. Rut each day is one day nearer normal living with water coming once more from a fine spring now being enclosed with cement blocks, above the rock "box. with a new housing above that ever the jmmp. light to drink. When I remember the chloral-tasting water we drank Tor so many years, I am full of gratitude for our spring. Rut one more day of this and I'm going visiting, suttrase in hand, and ask some astounded friend. "Would yon mind if I have a bath?"
