Stanton , "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts." So wrote Shakespeare. ' The last quarter century has presented many great, ac tors on the world's stage. Probably no period in history has had as many men casting powerful influence upon world affairs in such a short space of time. Some were like the "poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage." Others were "jealous, in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel, seeking the bubble reputation even in the cannon's mouth." Across the stage of world history have passed the great characters of recent, years. Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin the "poor players," the villains of the scene. And in hero ic roles, Roosevelt and Churchill. Only one remains. Now he has made his final bow and has departed from the wings, while the applause of a mighty world audience speaks grateful appreciation. Winston Churchill has played a powerful role on the world stage. His great courage in dark hours, his keen understanding, his ability to coin a phrase, his refusal to admit defeat, either for his country or in his own bod y, made him the star of the show. During the past few years his pen has left us a history of the stirring times in which he lived, and has given an intimate picture of his personality. It is a sobering picture, yet it is heartening and inspir ing, as Churchill depicts in words, with the same artistry he exhibits on canvas, the triumph of virtue over the pas sions of power-hungry leaders. Integrity Unchallenged As Churchill leaves the stage the last survivor of the cast of World War II leaders the preceding acts of the drama flash back to mind. One recalls the rise of Naziism and Facism, the days of appeasement, the terror of the blitzkreig, the bombinp of London; then the dark days of retreat and disaster; the tragedy of Dunkirk. And as we remember those dark days, one voice pre dominates, speaking of "blood, sweat and tears." voicing defiance, promising reprisal. On this side of the Atlantic we, too, thrilled and took heart as the somber challenge poured from our radios. We went about our daily tasks re peating pungent Churchillian phrases. There was something about a Churchill speech that be spoke strength and courage; something that inspired max imum effort. To hear was to accept without question the honor and integrity of the doughty leader. It was the same voice that rang with triumph as re prisal began with its bloody victories in North Africa and Italy, in the air over Britain and the Channel. Tt gave en couragement to the saturation bombings that reduced en emy strongholds to ashes. Though restrained from physi cal presence, it was with the allied troops in their bloody landings on Europe's beaches. In the final act, it was Churchill who, overthrown by the opposition party, fought his way back into power, and carried his nation from the verge of socialistic bankruptcy back to the firm ground of financial solvency. He has re mained the anchor in the violent storm of power pniitics and political ideologies. His aging body paralyzed, he made the most valiant comeback of his career. Now he has finished his speaking role. - His voice is to be heard no more from the stage of international politics. I'ut the example he has given, the words lie has spok en and written, the policies he has forged, will live through many centuries. And so the curtain falls, while the audience rises with applause and tears. 1 klal $5otj(e Editors: This is the second of two columns on the cancer detection program, NKYV YOKK .T I felt h little silly, standing there with nothing on but my socks and shoes and a flappy hospital gown. 1 was norvVnis, too.

Go To Bat -(!3ruce A four-power conference involv ing the United States, Russia, Britain and France now seems a virtual certainty. Soviet Premier Bulganin's approval of the idea sets the stage for a meeting some time this spring. France and Britain evidently will approach such a conference wan considerably more optimism than the United Stales, which throughout the postwar era has consistently maintained a health ier skepticism toward Russian ac tions. We imagine that Uie Kremlin will not abandon its efforts to thwart German rearmament and entry into NATO simply because trance and uermany have now endorsed the Paris pacts aulhorii ing those steps. We can foresee that Russia mifihl try to dangle several attractive carrots before the European nations in exchange I for delay or shelving of German! rearmament plans. Consequently, the Wesl ought j lo agree that any date for a con ference bo fixed to come after ail j remaining countries involved have ratified the Paris pacts and the!

Not this year anyway. And it was a feeling worth hav- t inc. For Him--Buy Easter Seals (JioAiat the three Western participants in a big power meeting should plan definitely to assemble prior to the fuller conference to seek a firm unity of policy among themselves. And all three should clearly take extreme pains in preparation. There is utterly no excuse for any of the three, and particularly for the United States, the acknowledg ed loader of the Western bloc, to enter a major top-level parley without the most detailed advance study. f-. ) One of the principal, lessons of the controversial Yalta conference was 'that when close friends do not build a solid front in advance, another nation irray play jne of them off against the other. A second lesson was that 'much damage can follow from inade quate preparation. One docs not need lo accept the word of chron ically carping politicians that this situation prevailed at Yalta. High ranking diplomats have testified that the United States did its Home work very badly. There is no place at any serious international meeting for glib, ca pricious and casual handling of world problems, whether they be small or larifc. You do not play a friendly game of checkers with oili er peoples' lives and with national iKirders. If we wait until Germany is with in the NATO circle, as we must in all good sense, then there is plen ty of time to get ready for the next meeting with the Soviet Un ion. V ought to make full use of every minute. Provoke It Dulles also said: 1. West Germany will have to he represented in any future big pow er foreign ministers talks on Ger man unity. 2. June will be too early for a formal foreign ministers meeting vitli Hussia because of the need to work out in advance agreements on the subjects to be discussed aed on the time and place. Furthermore ratification of G"r ma;i rearmnment may not he con cluded until early May and after that there must be a North At lantic Treaty meeting at Paris. 3.

Shigemitsu had plan ! nod to come here this week but C'e plan was called off after word from Washington that Dulles could r.ot fit il into his schedule. 5.

B. Newly disclosed purges in Red China are characteristic of what Dulles called the basic weakness ot Communist denoiis:n. He said i ;nu we. kness is the lack of any peaceful ami orderly way to bring ' about change'. In The Day's News (Continued , from Page One) blip is YOU and that the radar jigger is saying to the cop: "This guy is from Oregon and his foot is getting heavy on the throttle and in about two shakes of a lamb's i?il he's going to be over the limit. Then you can NAB HIM." Mind you, I don't lake too much stock in this radar business. 1 have a sneaking notion that at the worst about all it amounts to is a couple of cops sitting in (heir cars a measured mile apart and talking to each other by two-way radio. In that event, it would be just an old-fashioned speed trap, and il you keep an eye peeled for lurking cons you will be OK. But How can you be sure? This radar is mysterious stuff. Maybe it DOKS see all. Maybe it KS know all. So 1 case up on the accelerator. The UNKNOWN is always ter rifying. The road from Tucson to No gales follows an ancient water course. The stream has long since dried up. But in the under ground reservoirs beneath the Sentlv slopin',' vallev, nature has STORED WATER as a squirrel stores mils in seasons of plenty for use in seasons of scarcity. Man. probing with his drills, has FOUND these underground stores :rd wilh h'S electrically driven pumps he is lifting the water up ni d pulling it on the thirsty sod. The result is the miracle of ir rigation, which maketh the desert io blossom as the rose. The hot 'er the desert, it seems, the bet ter, for when heat and moisture .-.nd good rich soil are mixed in the proper proportions the conse liionres thereof are something wonderful to gaze upon. I hope man down here doesn't set greedy and pump the water cut of the underground reservoirs r.ster than nature is willing to fill them up. That would he tragic. At the border there is another miracle. It is the miracle of what hap nens when government, bv and large and lumping everything ti oethcr. has been GOOD FOR TIR PEOPLE instead of being BAD FOR THE PEOPLE. Between Ihe American stale of Arizona and the Mexican slate of Sonnra there is only an 'maip ary line. On bolh sides of this line the soil is the same. There is as much water on one side of it as en the other. The same heneficent sun looks down on it all. But Oh. shucks! Let's skip that. To describe in meticulous detail Ihe eifforenees between the American state of Ariiona and the Mexican state of Sopors would he to cast a-.pcrsions upon our neighbor Mex ico, and casting as'iersions upon our ne'"hbors is mean and churl ish and altogether unforgivable. But the contrast in wavs of life is a startling thing and if you find yourself letting soured on your country and its institutions vou'd better come down here and t;'Ve a good look. What you'll see. I think, will 'each you a lesson that will be good for your soul. Dog Dies From Fire Which Burns Automobile ! PORTLAND -f Scratch, a tar j rier pet of the Hdward K. Con ; nelly family, liked to hop into the ' Connelly car when il was parked outside the ,:ouse. and sleep in it. ! That was what he was doing ear : ly Tuesday when fire, thought due i to smoker's carelessness, broke ! out in the front seat. The dog. on j the back seal, was overcome by i smoke and died. The Rogue River Indian war that led up to the dramatic coun cil at Table Rock, near the pres ent city of Medford, was the most colorful Indian war in the North west, up to the campaign of Chief Joseph. Besides General Joe Lane, who commanded the volunteer troops, there was Major Philip Kearney, who later gained distinc tion as general in the Civil war. other outstanding personalities in this war were Jesse Applegate, Levi Scott, and Wm. T'Vault. Ap rlegate and Scott were settlers in the future Douglas County. Each made his own place in Oregon his tory. Then we must not forget Lane's namesake, chief Jo Lane of the Rogues, who had requested '.he honor of adopting the governor's name. This was after the latter had outwitted the chief by holding him at the point of a gun while the whiles carried his son away as a hostage, when Lane discover ed the Indians had plotted to mur der a previous party. After tnis the chief had deep respect for the name Jo. It was big medicine to the red men. Yet for sheer courage and dis play of self possession in the face of what proved almost certain death, there are few incidents in Northwest history to compare with the conduct of Lane and his asso ciates at the Table Rock Council. With him were Indian Superintend ent, Joel Palmer, Indian Agent Samuel P. Culver, Captain A. J. Smith, Lane's son-in-law, and aide during the Mexican campaign, Captain L. F. Mosher, Col. A. J. Ross, Lieut. A. V. Kautz, R. B. Metcalf, J. J. Mason and T. T. Tierney. Lane and Palmer made long speeches which were interpreted into the Chinook dialect by Ncs mith and into the Rogue language hy one of the Indians. The white speeches had been made and the Indian replies were nearly so, when a naked Rogue Indian cour ier rode wildly into camp inform ing his fellow natives that a com pany of whites at Applegate Creek had captured Jim Taylor, a Rogue sub-chief, tied him to a tree and killed him by gunfire. The Indians immediately lost all semblance of reason. They pro posed tieing the white councilors to trees and give them the same treatment Chief Jim had received. Nosmith said Lane remained tin moved on a log, his wounded arm bandaged. The whites scattered among the Indians so the latter could not shoot without danger ol killing some of their own peple. After a short time Lane rose -'ow'v o his feet and addressed the Indians: "Owens, who violated the armistice and killed Jim Tay lor, is a bod man. When I catch him, he shall be punished. I prom ised you in good faith to come to your camp with ten other un armed men and secure peace; 1 do not believe you are such cow ardly dogs as to take advantage of our unarmed condition. I know Massive Caroline Fire Believed Under Control SWAN QUARTER, N.C. W Fire f ghters Tuesdav saw a glimmer of success in their night-long battle against a massive fire that ha: burned over a quarter million of acres of woods, scrub growth and erassland in this swampy eastern Norlii Carolina area. "I think we have it cornered." A. G. Berry, Hyde County forest fire warden, said, of the week -old fire, ff wind conditions are not too severe, it mav come under control, he added. As he spoke, hard winds of recent days had abated to slight breezes. No dollar estimate of the loss vas available. Foresters said large areas of the burned-over area con tained little commercially valuable timber. - ATOM BOMB CHECK KYOTO., Japan An American expert Tuesday reported a recent cheek of 4,400 Hiroshima atom ' nib survivors showed onlv 29 definitely "defective." Dr. Robert Miller of the U.S.-finaneed aton. Bomb- Casualty Commission did not elaborate on the term.

Our muroer will exasperate our friends and vour tribe will be hunted from the face of the earth. Let us proceed with the treaty, and in place of var let's have everlasting peace." Lane's defiance of the Indians had its effect. Moreover, a promise to pav in shirts and blankets for Taylor's death was a face saving offer to the Indians and they glad lv accepted. This treaty stood lor about two years, but white cupid ity could not be quenched. That is another story. LAUREL LODGE NO. 13 A. F. & A. M.
