To stop at the 38th parallel in Korea by the United Nations armed forces, to the average American, would be like admitting defeat to Soviet Russia, who invoked the war in the first place. How long will it take the politicians of American to learn how incompetent they are in obtaining peace through appeasement? After two world wars and the Korean incident (as many would like to call it) American politics seems to be of the opinion that the American dollar can buy anything—satisfy the world. For the Pilot to place the responsibility and blame for this af fair is only an opinion of an individual, but it seems certain now that America’s apathy to military men’s opinions should stop. Appeasing Russia is as foolish as trying to pet a rattlesnake. One would be foolish to try. The 38th parallel, if the Pilot could be heeded, would serve only as a starting block for the dash northward to free Korea, and set up an indipendent republic, Persuasion on Russia might come easier if America would show some backbone and demand withdrawal from the over-run nations which she has grabbed since the war. Korea has cost this national about 18,000 casualties. To poli ticians who do not consider this anything, a change of scenery certainly is due. America was founded by strong men—the meek seem to be ruling its destiny now’. IT SEEMS TO ME the tonnage handled by the S. P. in the same time. Oregon has grown in the past decade more than most of its citizens wish to realize. Oregon can no longer be the conserva tive state she once was she is forced to meet her netv obligaa- tions in the same rate as her sister states. The growth of the past ten years is but a sample of what may be expected in the next five to ten years. So it’s Philadelphia Pillies and the New York Yankees in the w orld series Wednesday.

OCTOBER 5, 1950 BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT. BROOKINGS, OREGON The Home of Winter Flouera of baseball. Who will win the series—let’s wait a few days and then say. America is great because of her competitive sports. Boys in their tender years dream of the day when they, too, may become great enough to participate in these series. I had those dreams as a lad, but— Football games are with us— and speculation has about reach ed its zenith, for the pattern is already shaped up who will be the eventual area winners. At Portland a strong California 11 just toyed with a determined but impotent Oregon. A meeting of Stanford and California, or the Uclans of Los Angeles and Cali fornia will about shape the Rose Bowl picture. Neither of the Oregon colleges seem to be very strong in the present campaign, while Univer sity of Washington seems to be a dark horse in the pennant chase by virtue of her win over the usually strong Minnesotans. Upsets are to be expected—that is what the smaller colleges are living for every day. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kemp left Thursday for Tillamook to hunt. J. D.
