ABOUT THE WKATHER
Yesterday we wrote a weather story about La Grande and
its dry summer, calling attention to the fact that the sum
mer has been drier than usual although the total rainfall
during the first eight months of this year was nearly three
inches above normal, and also asserting that this summer
has lieen unusually brief and cool. Perhaps you read the
story on the front page of last night's paper.
. Well, just a short time after completing that article we
received an item over the Associated Press wire in which
Edward L. Wells, government meteorologist in Portland, de-ilai-ed
that people who complain that "it doesn't seem that
we've had any summer at all" will be surprised to leam that
Sir. Wells does not agree with them.
This gentleman says that Portland, and the rest of the
state, too, as a matter of fact, had a wamier, drier summer
thin usual; that the mean temperature for the past three
jiWnths ip Portland was 1.3 degrees above normal and that
rainfall was only about 40 per cent of normal; that June
wfts the driest Portland has ever had, and that August was
; .both warmer and drier than usual. .
'" We felt rebuffed after reading his statement. In fact,
iye felt almost as if someone had come along and called us
a'this-and-that or something of the sort. Not that we hold
any animosity toward Mr. Wells; for we realize that any
. frood weather man bases his opinions ,on actual figures. We
bear him no ill will ; nor do we demand, an apology.
iut we insist, and we are prepared to prove it, top, that
this summer was shorter than usual and cooler than usual
at least according to the methods by which the average man
tigures it.
Most of us will agree that our summer did not start until
after une 6, when the minimum was 40 above. And prac
tically all with Whom we have spoken are of the opinion that
the 1932 summer came to a close last Saturday, when the
weather turned cold and rainy. Since then the air has
felt more like fall than summer.
We agree with Mr. Wells that it was drier than usual, and
that the mean temperature for the state was warmer than
'usual; figures do not lie! But we notice that he did not
say much about the length of our summer (and by "our
summer" we. mean Eastern Oregon's) nor did he dwell at
length upon the subject of heat waves.
'"''Usually our summer lasts until after Labor day. And
usually during the summer we have at least two, and some
times three or more heat waves during which the thermome
ter soars to 98 and 100 or even 104 or 107. And these heat
waves usually last three or four days at least.
This summer we have had no such heat waves, and upon
this premise we base our presumption that this summer was
ftot as warm as usual, j-egardless of the mean temperatures
take the adjective any way you wish. The mercury did
not even reach the 100 mark! And how could an Eastern
Oregon summer be warmer than usual unless the tempera
ture broke into three figures at least once 7
After all this, we surmise that Mr. Wells, esteemed meteo
rologist that he is, undoubtedly will snicker up his sleeve;
but so will we for we've proven it now to our own satis
faction at least, that the past summer was not as warm
as usual.

ATI1LETKS AM) ATHLETICS
Those who are inclined to deplore the modern tendency to
unduly glorify a successful athlete and to overemphasize ath
letes need not deceive themselves that such has not always
been the custom.
Americans make much ado over professional baseball and
collegiate and scholastic footlwill. Millions have been ex
pended on stadiums and there has been widespread dissatis
faction over the fact that football coaches earn more in three
months than professors earn in nine. There is another popu
lar superstition to the eflect that college and high school
athletics, league baseball, golf and horse racing are being
taken too seriously, at the expense of academic studies, home
and business.
Sports have reached a high stage of development in the
United States and in .some foreign countries, yet none seem
to have even approximated the athletics and sports of ancient
Rome and Greece. inv
' The Colosseum and similar arenas and amphitheaters of
Home and Greece have left their ruins to remind the modern
world how ancient civilizations lavished their wealth on their
athletics and athletes. The Olympionikae, as the victors
of the Olympiads then were known, were showered with every
conceivable honor and opportunity for living in luxury ever
after.
and whose helpful desires have been
lor its acceptance by tne nation, but
who have reluctantly come to the
conclusion that it Is advisable to heed
the clamor for a change In the meth
od oi liquor control.
And the president frankly sets forth
his personal notion of the form such
change should taie. If a change must
come. Though Mr. Black. like many
of us. does not go along with the
president's proposal of abandonment
of national control to state control,
yet as a prohibitionist he will aup
port the president because "in h
personal habit, he is strictly dry;
during whose presidency no liquor
has or will be served in the White
House; whose record Is that of a con
sistent dry . . . and who is "way
ahead' on all other Issues.
Mr. Hoover's fundamental belief Is;
probably the same as when he en
tered the White House, that prohl-;
bltion would be a very desirable thing
it It could be enforced on aU alike, j
But after four years of close touch :
with the problem in an earnest ef
fort at enforcement, finds that it Is
impracticable to control the many
unforseen abuses which have grown '
up around the 18th amendment. 1
Sentiment for state control is un
doubtedly in the majorivy among re
peall.ts, but as has been said here
be lore, it Invites 48 varieties of
trouble. But we accomplish reforms
not by clean sweeps, but by battles
In which the tide surge 3 back and
forth. Tolerance takes into account
the will of the majority and Is will
ing that the controversy come to a
showdown. But mark these words.
If congress enacts legislation in ac
cordance with either party platform
ant me people ratny tne change
through their chosen representatives.
siraigniway states win oegm to vote
dry one by one until there are
enough in the do area to demand
national control. In the end we be
lieve the people will find that after
all the liquor question is no more a
matter for the separate states than
was the problem of slavery.
Of the two major party presiden
tial candidates. Mr. Black sees in
Hoover the most likely friend of pro
hibition, in that he will "do nhs ut
most" to enforce the law as he flnos
it. The prohibition Issue will not be
as strong iu the campaign as at first
appeared likely. The concordant views
of the presidential candidates leave
the issue rather flat. But there l I

positions Hoover is pledged to up-1
hold the prohibition laws until the!
people decree a change; Roosevelt Is I
