LET THE LIGHTS SHINE
By CHARLES V. STANTON
In the early days of the last war we witnessed a most
depressing sight.
It was a practice blackout.
Not a light was to be seen. The city lay in complete
darkness; no sign of life, no warmth, no activity.
One could sense fear. Although people realized it was
only a practice blackout, their minds entertained the fear
that it might, in the not far distant future, be the real thing.
Fortunately, we escaped the experience of a serious
blackout, but the sight of a darkened city cannot be forgot
ten. Darkness and fear are psychologically compatible.
Mothers To March On Polio
There is fear in our homes today, but that fear is to be
fought with light, not with darkness.
Tomorrow night 500 women will march in the war
against polio. Their paths will be lighted by the rays from
porch lights of Roseburg homes. The pennies and dollars
they gather in the course of their march will help dispel
fear, for those pennies and dollars will go into research de
voted to methods of preventing the dread disease, as well
as aiding the hapless victims and saving families, in which
the disease strikes, from financial disaster.
Tomorrow night Roseburg will appear abundantly alive;
a city full of activity and warmth. There will be no evidence
of fear. And if it were possible to see at one time the hun
dreds of women marching from home to home one could
sense the snint of a people fighting their fears with light.
The scene will be in marked contrast to that distressing sight
of only a few years ago.
The Mothers' March tomorrow night, we are told by
Bob McCarl, chairman of the fund raising effort in Roseburg,
will be the last event in the campaign within the city.
Dances and other events will be held elsewhere. But no
direct solicitation within the city will be conducted after to
morrow night, McCarl says.
Fullest Cooperation Urged
This "last chance" program is deserving of fullest co
operation. It will be conducted between 6 :30 and 7 :3.0 p.m.,
A time when few people are away from home.
It Is asked that every family willing to contribute to the
fund to fight polio, be it one penny or many dollars, turn on
" the porch light as a signal to the women who will be travel
ing from door to door. . A candle, lantern, or flashlight may
: be used if the porch has no other light. Vi
' The signal to be used in hotels and apartments is a pair
of shoes, laces tied together, hung on the outside doorknob.
No fund raising program, we are informed, has had
: more favorable reaction than the Mothers' March on Polio,
started only a few years ago and now spread throughout
most of the cities of the country.
It carries with it a significance appealing to everyone.
Dispelling fear's darkness with lights from millions of
homes is America's form of determined attack on the dis
ease we dread. As beacons of light guide mothers to the
pennies, dimes and dollars enlisting in the battle against
' fear, we can feel a confidence that conies from united effort.

Just now thinking over the story
if Gideon, in the Book of JuiIkos,
I was impressed anew by the fear
less way Gideon followed the div
ine leading and cut down his force
un'il it seemed ho had very few
Indeed for the task ahead. But by
wise use of his followers he
achieved tho objective, proving as
so many, many times the Bible
characters proved for our timo as
well as their own, that "ono with
God is a majority."
Dear mo, to hear some of the
talk about the atom bombs one
might think Goil was, at least
temporarily, off dutyl But let's not
forget for a single inslnnt that
"II' that watchelh over Israel, nor
slumbers, nor sleeps."
fo bo sure there are things we
must do as a nation, and as in
dividuals, for national defense.
That is. prayer and works! Hut
when we find our thought disturbed
over atomic attack or whatever, a
very simple remedy is right at
hand. How often we read or hear
that our really great leaders turn
daily to God In prayer, in reading
of the Bible, in steady faith. Shall
i we do less? Doing our part as
individuals wlill "hold up their
hands" remember how Moses re
quired support from those close to
him.
A short time ago, as history has
it, this country was in the throes
of a terrible civil war. How unthink
able nowl Wo havo progressed out
of that way of settling disagree
menls as lo stales rights. Some
day, maybe sooner than we think
now, the wholo world will progress
to where war is just as unthinkable
between countries.
Surely, for tho sake of the child
ren, we can keep the home so
tilled with faith in the goodness of
God, and confidence that Right
must triumph, that the children
will feel secure. We can't worry
and trust God at the same mom
ent. Which shall wo choose to do?
On a friend's wall Is a framed
motto which has been for years a
help when recalled:
"When we think about trouble
trouble grows.
"When we think about God,
trouble) GOES."

Any Idea Where We're Going?"

Fulton Lewis Jr.
SAN FRANCISCO In his odd dissertation on the vir
tues of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower as a candidate for the Re
publican nomination for the presidency, Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge Jr., endorsed the Truman administration's foreign
policy. I
Lodge said that present policies
are sound and that the real fault
is lot with what we are trying to
do, but that Mr. Truman and Sec
retary of State Dean Acheson fail
to support their own program.
Since Lodge was In San Francisco
at the meeting of Republican nat
ional committeemen representing
the general, it can only be assumed
that Eisenhower believes the same
thing. If so, he would be a better
candidate for the Democrats. What
Lodge said really is that Eisen
hower and his backers are satis
fied over Korea, unperturbed over
the fact that the President's blund
ering caused the loss of China to
the Communists and that lor the
100 billion dollars we have doled
out to tho world since 1940 we now
are in fine shape. I don't think
so, and neither did the majority
of GOP politicians who attended
the sessions. Many of them didn t
react publicly to what Lodge said
for at least 24 hours, but when
they did they started looking for
the exits. They have all been on
this merry-go-round before. Twice,
in fact, and both times with Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey, ot New York.
Dewey was a little less blunt than
Lodge in his shadow boxing with
the administration, but no one ever
doubted that he had accepted the
thesis that the U. S. A. should be
the world's Mr. Kix - it. He is in
Eisenhower's corner this time, and
probably is responsible for Lodge's
total absorption of the President's
foreign policy. Just so you won t
get the Idea that Lodge, in speak
ing for Eisenhower, represented
what the Republicans wanted to
hear out here, I'll enlighten you
on what Senator Harry Cain, of
Washington, had to say.
Cain wrapped up the majority
ol GOP thinking on the administra
tion's blundering in a tough speech
that ripped tho Truman-Arheson
foreign policy into shreds. When he
did he got a roaring ovation from
the national committeemen the
same people, who just sat and list
ened politely to Lodge.
Cain teed off on the blundering
in Korea as a slarter and then
rallied White House windows with
his denunciation of Mr. Truman
for his crude firing of Gen. Douglas
.MacArthur. He got a standing ova
tion for that one. And listeners
were still on their feet when he
said:
"We must demand of the Pres
ident and Congress that never a
gain will our people be forced into
an undeclared war; and never
again permit ourselves to be forced
into conflict where the goal is any
thing short of total victory."
Cain reminded them that hall
tho free world was sold out by the
administration Communists, politi
cal ward heelers and their striped
pants pals fromr Harvard Univer
sity Law School. He refreshed their
memories with the fact that more
Americans were wounded or had
died in Korea in 1951 than in the
first three years of World War II.
There wasn't much left to be
said by Lodge or anyone else after
tins, lam had done what the
Eisenhower politicans hoped no one
would do. He gave the Republican
party its choice again of fighting
or snuggling up to Truman and
Co. The Eisenhower crowd thinned
out considerably when confronted
with the choice. Most of the Repub
licans here walked around with a
chip on the shoulder. They were
sore about the state of the nation
and said so. They were disinclined
to the idea of getting back in bed
again with the Democrats, even if
that is the most comfortable way to
stay in politics.

Teacher Supply
Shortage Given
Explanations
SPOKANE Wl The Northwest's
teacher supply is expected to oe
drastically short for the next 10
years, delegates attending a two
day regional conference here spon
sored by the National Commission
on Teacher Education and Profes
sional Standards, were told Mon
day. Educators blamed teacher short
ages oh swollen enrollments and
military and defense production de
mands. T. M. Stinnett, executive secre
tary of the commission, said, "de
fense production personnel de
mands will come from two major
sources: 'The pool of presently un
employed women in the United
States and the poof of inadequately
paid teachers.'
"While there will be, of course,
no direct effort to causo a flow of
teachers to these jobs, the present
Slowness of adjustment of teach
ers' salaries to the continually ris
ing price index will create pres
sures which thousands of qualified
teachers will find difficult to re
sist." Chairman of the conference Is
Miss Martha Shull of Portland.

when firemen tried to put out the
mob-set fires. When they were
chased away by the police, Nhe
rioleri dashed off and set OTHER
fires.
And so on.
What's loose in Egypt?
TWO THINGS, I think, are loose
both of them dangerous.
This paragraph from a Cairo dis
patch gives a hint as to one source
of the trouble:
"Angry police, brandishing rifles,
JOINED a mob of 2,000 persons
shouting "LONG LIVE RUSSIA,
friend of Egypt."
That's the COMMUNISTS, at
work. This ruckus in Cairo, within '
almost a stone's throw of the Suez
canal, is duck soup for Moscow.
It is beyond any reasonable per
son's power of belief that Moscow,
isn't busy pouring gasoline on the
fire of Egyptian dislike for the
Britisb. ,
The Kremlin would be foolish if
it didn't take full advantage of
such a situation, and nobody has !
yet accused the Kremlin rulers of
foolishness of that sort.
Here is another paragraph from '
the same dispatch that is HIGHLY,
significant: j
"Three Britons were reported ;
killed in an attack on the EX
CLUSIVE BRITISH TURF CLUB
in the center of Cairo. Several
Englishmen were said to have been '
inside the club when the mob at
tacked and it could not be deter
mined immediately how many cas
ualties there were."
Why is that significant?
Well, it goes quite a way toward
explaining why the British are so
deeply hated throughout the Old
War area where their colonial em
pire once flourished. They've been
TOO EXCLUSIVE. Never have
they mixed on equal terms with
the peoples their empire ruled.
Practically always, they have
held themselves apart in "exclu-
sive clubs," for example, where
oniy uie srmsn coma emer.
Imagine yourself an Egyptian.
Suppose that in your town or
j your city there was an "exclusive"
social club where the Bntish were
welcome BUT YOU WEREN'T AL
LOWED. Suppose that had been
going on for generation after gen
eration. You'd be hot under the collar,
wouldn't you?
Of course you would. You'd be
not only angry. You'd be bitter and
intolerant.
Suppose you were an Iranian.
You'd feel the same way about it.
Even if your scheme to "nation
alize" your oil (taking It away
from the British owners in the na
tionalizing process) didn't work out
and you were far worse off ec
onomically than before you seized
the foreigner's oil you'd still be so
mad you wouldn't care what hap-
I pened so long as you had the sat
isfactlon of taking the oil away
from the Bri"-h.
If we'ra going to run the world
a task to which we seem to have
been committed, willy - nllly we'd
better learn from the British mis
takes. If we're going to run other
people's affairs for them, we'd bet
ter BE GOOD MIXERS.
Otherwise, we'll get Into the
same BAD trouble the British have
got into.
Inercott Of Students
Noted In So. Oregon
Winter quarter registration 'at
Oregon College is 4 percent greater
than that of fall term, according to
Mrs. Mabel W. Winston, registrar
and dean of women. A total to (00
students are attending classes at
the Ashland institution.
Mrs. Winston said an Increase of
new students 9 percent more than
for the same period last year has
been a main course of the advance.
She added that college authorities
are pleased to note the determina
tion of students to continue their
education, particularly since enroll
ment has customarily dropped at
mid year in past seasons.

ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH,
BOX 331, SUTHERLIN, 0S.
DEAR MR HEY:
I heard vour speech over a local radio station list Sunday
morning In which you msde an attemnt to of'set the force of my ,
rticles thst wre published in the paner. It was (tisanpninting
to me to are how von stooned to sarcasm, rif,irule and mis
representation on sueh an Imnortant theme. vou referred to
those who believe and teach 'hat the rl'vs of miracles ave
Dsed as ' nnnr, dluded. unbelieving, void of faith" and "blind
ed hv 'Ho litt'o. narrow WW of the law do'trine." "lease be
asswed Mr. Ttv. that whit I teach is In all alneer'tv, and I
tnd radv at 'l times to ive a reaon for mv faith. You Indict
not onl m hut a r"' of others when vou tell us that if we
"iet the doctrinp nf th 'nrnaturt toHiv. we destined
for end'ss torment in hell Yet you will call many of these good
people Christians.
Mr. Rv the testimonials vou give are not conclusive. A
person or doctor mav not have diagnosed his case accurately, or
other reason1" can enter in to show that the healm was not
miraei'inua f sk aln. what was the puroose of the super
natural? Wu It not to show ttat God was with those who had
that Dower' Now I cn get olentv of testimonials 'rom peonle
who rach what vou do not believe to h true, and who claim
that God worWs in and throueh them. Will you acceot their tes
timonials? If they ar ri-ht. vou are wrong. Let m suggest that
we conduct i test about which there ran be no doubt. I know
where ' cap find some Datieps who have wl'hered arms,
severed lei. etc. No one donbts their condition. Vow. Mr. Rev,
f suggest that "U and I find two such natients. If vu heal Hi
'Irs en, I will hail tha socand en. Will you Ho it? Frankly, I
predict vou will not ccnt tMs invitation. Whv? You do not
wlleve that you can do it, or that God will work through vou
Neither do I. Now, how mwh'ereater is your faith than mine?
N'ot a bit. If I m "deluded, unbelieving, faithless," how much
'ess so are you?
The apostle Paul teaches that faith comes by hearing God's
word, Rom 10:17. Before we can believe in the supernatural to
lay, the Rihlc must teach that it is for the present time. Will
rou publiclv affirm that "the Scriptures teach that the signs and
miracles don by the apostles and other disciples, as recorded
n the New Testament, are for today?" If you will. I will deny
t. If you feel incapable, get your man. and we wijl have one to
ieet him. There are many peonle in this community who would
ike to see your position examined publicly. I shall be looking
toward to hearing from yon.
