The big Hump Ahead
A good many indices point to the rapidly approaching
winter of 1938-39 as the "big hump" that will have to be sur
mounted in low gear as local communities and the nation seek
to pull out of the "recession.' Nationally, business is still re
covering gradually, and there is some hope among business
men that the levels of 1937 before the slump, will be regained
early in 1939.
' Such significant figures as automobile production and
sales point to improvement both in actual industrial activity
and in public confidence. The construction outlook is notice
ably bncrhter. The election
political stability and an intelligent attack upon economic
problems in the comintr session of contrress.
On the debit side of the ledger is the winter's relief prob
lem. Despite the business upturn, seasonal factors are causing
an increase in unemployment, with no real prospect of an op
posite trend until farm work opens up in the spring. National
ly the WPA funds are low and
the WPA rolls, forcing more
relief. This aggravation of a
reflected in the recent furor

Renewed unsettlement of
haps somewhat alleviated by
general strike in France on
the generally bright economic
ming shut the "open doos." in China, Poland's reversal of re
cent policy in renewal of friendship with Russia followed by
heightening of Japanese fear
tion of German nazi desperation found in its persecution of
the Jews all these incidents are factors to be scanned in con
nection with United States recovery prospects. The effect of
the trade agreement with Great Britain should be on the
whole favorable though certain
ly disappointed.
Summing up, the nation is facing a "hard winter" and
the future is not all clear sailing; the farm and labor relations
problems are still to be faced ;
favorable, marked improvement is indicated for early in
1939. .
About Employed Women,.
There are about 14 1-2 million employed women in the
United States, according to the census bureau. Also there are

let the men support them, and the unemployment problem is
solved, just like that.
Actually of course the list

them are jobs that women can do much more satisfactorily,
- not to mention more gracefully. It is a fact though, judging
from the unemployment census figures; that there are nearly
three million women holding jobs who wouldn't be holding
them if it were not for the depre pardon the slip present
conditions.
These three million fall into three general classes, and
so do some of the other women normally employed; unmar
ried, widows or divorced women who must support themselves
and perhaps some dependents;
married women who need or desire to supplement their hus
bands' inconles.
Theoretically, the unemployed husbands could replace
the employed wives; the unmarried women, widows and di
vorcees could marry unemployed men and hand their jobs
over to them. j
This latter solution might be worth trying if it would
really solve anything. But it would involve only a change in
personnel, with just jis many persons employed as now, -and
no more. To be sure, external appearances would be better;
more of the unemployed would be theoretically contented

not try to hurry him.- - - -
Various newspapers have applauded the verdict, of the
.Plympia jury which found the kidnap-torturers of an auto
mobile salesman guilty, but did not insist upon the extreme
penalty, for kidnaping in that state. Some have taken the
attitude that this was a victory of written, formal law over
the "unwritten law' and the tendency of individuals to take
the law into their own hands. There is no intention here to
go intp the details of this odorous case, but it should be pointed
out that no certainty was established that the "unwritten
law" had anything to do with it. The same jury might have
reached an opposite verdict if there had been such evidence.
It appears from this corner a victory over courtroom subter-
luge, nor. over ine unwritten
Washington, DC, and some other cities are now holding
their Community Chest campaigns, and Mark Sullivan de
clares that people ought to give to these private agencies to
help avert the danger of fascism in this country. If the Salem
Communist Chest leaders had thought of this argument in
time they certainly would have used it.
Naturally, the football coaches of the Big Ten turned
thumbs down on the idea of going out and telling their teams
what play to use on each down.

A. turkey gobbler in upper New York, sensing that
Thanksgiving was coming on, committed suicide by taking
rat poison. No doubt all turkeys would vote for this proposed
calendar reform, setting all holidays on Saturdays. It would
'give them two more days of life.

Flood Preventing
Measures Viewed
Possibility of, preventing recur
rence of a high water condition
that impeded travel on the Fair-tield-SL
Paul road last winter was
investigated tils week by" County
Commissioner Aoy 8. Helaon and
Engineer N. C Hubbs. The trouble
has arisen from a narrow con
crete bridge, which has backed up
the water during heavy rains.
The solution probably will be re
placement of the bridge wi th a
larger steel cnlvert arch. Commis
sioner lfelson said. One of the
county's WPA road crews now at
work fa that vicinity may! make
the replacement.
