Six Months of War The world at this writing must present a peculiar aspect to the inveterate reader of the Sunday supplements. For years he had been promised totalitarian blitzkrieg the mo ment war was declared or not declared between world pow ers in Europe. Great air fleets were to roar across oceans, lay capitals in ruins; massed armies were to send legions of tanks against prepared fortifications, take them amid incred ible loss, and sweep onward to victory over a land of desolated ruin: libraries, pictures, great music, the great architectural monuments, an were to be engulfed in the great tidal wave at the flick of a diplomat's finger. Armageddon was to be fact, not Sabbath amusement. , , That this has not happened, is pretty clear. True, Poland is a ruin inhabited only by wolves and slaves; Finland is in the throes of what seems to be a losing struggle of titanic pro portions; the Balkans as usual await the flame; and the neu trals expect each day to be their last. Yet London and Pans and Berlin, though blacked out, are still intact; the Rhine fortifications on either side have suffered more from frozen pipes in the coldest winter for decades than from shot and shell; the British grand fleet is still in the North sea, and the German U-boats still under it. We have neither Armageddon, nor peace, exactly. . A progress report on the war as she is being fought, Is, Indeed, difficult to draw up. No one can disguise the fact that nothing really vital has happened (though many vital things may have been started and are still disguised in their Infancy), yet no one can pay that merely because nothing has happened yet, this is a fake war. To speak in this man ner would be merely to invite more men to go to their deaths, more ships to be sunk, more cities to be bombed; and this nobody wants. The war is a paradox, daily deepen ing. The truth of the matter is, as nearly as one can tell, that neither passion, nor starvation, nor military strength, nor suspicion of any one of these by one side on the part of its opponents nave yet made war possible. What we have is still essentially the presence of armed camps, each waiting to identify the Achillean heel of its rival; the present situ ation differs from peace only by the transmission of a few words and by intermittent harrying actions which are more characteristic of war than of peace, but which serve only to remind of constant vigilance existing between the parties. How long this can go on is still hidden, but no one can deny that the present position of things is neither fish nor fowl, bird nor beast, war nor peace. What the next six months will show is equally difficult to forecast. Perhaps it will be genuine war; more likely only grimly deepening boredom, which gradually saps military enthusiasm and civilian strength, and which cuts more deep ly at authoritarian governments than at those of at least nominal dependency on popular will. In the meantime, though, the world can take slight comfort in its precarious balance, and hope that it is ennui, and not the" infinitely more terrible unleashing of the Sunday supplement power re ferred to above, which will bring a lasting equitable peace. Dull progress reports would be a pleasure if such a future were certain. Community Pride; Special Editions Sinclair Lewis and some other writers have caricatured the typical American's pride in 'the old home town" and in truth there are things to be said against parochialism in some of its aspects which are similar to the symptoms of blind nationalism, the thing that has been largely responsible for Europe's present plight. familiar is a part of human less to quarrel ; and it is much if carried occasionally to the extreme, than its opposite, un reasoning criticism. From the practical standpoint too, com munity pride is a fortunate thinks his town is the best does most to make it come true. The home town newspaper is an agency admirably equipped to reflect and express community pride. Fraterniz ing with the Oregon publishers over a period of years, one is not likely to encounter among in private conversation any lack of faith in his particular community. Yet daily or weekly, as the case may be, the newspaper of today is not the that it was & few decades ago. facts and less with generalities and sentiment than they used to; and so in the usual pages more often reflect than tues. But there is one occasion paper lets itself go and really is and is doing. That is when frankly devoted to exposition tries, attractions and culture. It so happens that in recent weeks a number of such editions, all of them excellently peared in the northwest. The Columbian at Vancouver took Teraary of Washington statehood to issue large editions. Walla Walla is feeling quite prosperous, thank you, and the Lnion-Bulletin issued late in paper ever printed in that city. Its "Forward in Forty" progress edition ran to 103 pages. It required 12 U tons of paper to produce it for some 15,000 readers: the efjrht-Dasre rolls of paper the width of highway would have reached from Walla Walla's city limits to Spokane's city limits 158.65 miles. But size is not all that edition had; it served to remind Walla Walla valley jfcuprc iui iub vsiibiueuuti van cumpsny is uulluing a rial I - million dollar plant; that the pea, sngar beet and spinach industries are progressing nicely, that the various commun ities in the area are likewise prospering; tkat Whitman col lege is going strong and so is wm complete nrs z&tn year as its atnietic coach; that well, obviously we cannot .even summarize all that the Union Bulletin tells hi those 108 pages. Near-fruition of the Inland Empire's dream of a great irrigation and power project at Grand Coulee was the prin cipal inspiration for the striking special edition issued late in January by the Spokesman-Review at Spokane. It is about 90 per cent pictorial, in tabloid form, and gains special dis tinction through the use of "bleed" cover plates for each of its sections and an arresting use of multiple colors which neretheless avoids being garish. One can't read it without being impressed with the fact that big things are hap pening in the Inland Empire nor without making the men tal note to take a trip through the region this summer if it's humanly possible. More personal to the newspaper itself is the Portland Ore gonian'a recent 90th anniversary edition, also tabloid in form with a different but equally effective use of color. The first Oregonian appeared December 5, 1850 and this is its 90th anniversary year. Admirable as is the special edition, its editors could hardly have hoped to make it represent all that the Oregonian has meant to the northwest in those 90 years. It too reflects the progress and present prosperity of the city and territory which it serves. Latest special edition to reach oar desk is the annual Development edition of the Astorian Budget Historically, Astoria can look back a little farther to its founding than most other northwest cities to 1811, and in this year's edi tion makes note of the visit of its founder's great-grandson. But Astoria lives in the present and has some special cux rent achievements to boast, including the $1,500,000 expendi- Yet pride in what is near and nature, against which it is use more pleasant to behold, even thing; for it is the citizen who on the face of the globe, who them one who expresses even hymn of praise for Podunk Newspapers deal more with course of events a newspaper's express the community s vir upon which the home town tells the world what "our town it publishes a special edition of the town s growth, indus edited and printed, have ap Olympian at Olympia and the advantage of the 50th anni February the largest news two pages, if rolled out on the "Nig" Borleske who this spring Bits for Breakfast By R.

A great many donation claim deeds were made by both men and women (mostly women and often Indian women) who 6igned with crosses They could not write or read. "- The first election at the polls under the Oregon provisional government came May 14, 1S44. The reader has noted the first elected executive committee of three. The legislative committee (legislature ) of nine were P. H. Burnett, M. M. McCarver, David Hill and Matthew Gilmore, Tual atin district; A. L. Lovejoy, Clack amas; Daniel Waldo, T. D. Kaiser and Robert Newell, Champoeg (afterward Marion.) Yamhill, en titled to a member, did not elect. That first little unicameral legis lature of eight passed a lot of laws. The outstanding man in it was Burnett, who was to become the first governor of California, and take with him a copy of the printed laws of Oregon, which al so, most of them, naturally be came the first laws of the state of California. S S Jesse Applegate came in 1843 with the covered wagon immigra tion of that year. He was elected to the 1845 legislature, from Yam hill county, then extending to the California line. The number in that unicameral body had been raised to 13, two from Yamhill. Applegate contended that Oregon had not yet a truly American gov ernment, for all elections up to that of 18 4 4 had been by hand ballot, or viva 'voce vote; none by the people at polling places. So he demanded that the 184 5 legislature, which convened June 24 at Oregon City, as the 1841 body had also done that the 184 S legislature adjourn July K until August 5, after the result of an election at the polls July 25 should have been learned. All the matters decided theretofore by hand ballot, and all the acts of the 1844 legislature, were sub mitted to the people, to decide at the polls; to either ratify or re fuse to do so. The vote was 255 for and 12 against, a majority of 233 for validation of all that had gone before with an approval of new matters submitted. S At the regular 1845 election a change had been carried out, a single governor substituted for the old executive committee of three members, the choice for governor, after a sharp conflict, baring fallen upon George Aber aethy, who had come with the Lausanne party as treasurer and bookkeeper of the Lee mission. By subsequent elections, Aber nethy remained governor until General Joseph Lane took over as governor of the territory, June 3, 1849. By this time, the careful read er, if he had any doubts, must have concluded the provisional government of Oregon was found- tore of the federal government Dase. uut nowDere do we find a hint that credit for its estab lishment belongs outstandinsrhr to the As tor i an-Bn rl rrf rmh. Iisher, Merle Chessman. Lumber, scenery, fish these are the Astoria region's fundamental and principal resources, but while husbanding them with some notable Droirress in th matter of reforestation the community is also displaying admirable teamwork in developing new industries in th rri. cultural field livestock, flaiiying, specialty vegetable crops. These things the development edition records, without neg lecting to mention that Astoria Is still producing phenomenal basketball players and teams, the city's product that interests Salem at this time of somewug tea.

It was I fait accompli, thing accomplished. The action of the meeting at Champoeg May 8, 1843, was not a break it was a continuance. as the official record shows; and so was the action there July 6, 1848. There can be no doubt concern ing what George W. LaBreton wrote. There was no 50-68 vote at Cbampoeg Mar 2, 1848. The story of It was a lie, made up 23 years later by W. H. Gray, just to make a more exciting story. The list of the SX has a number of mistakes; it was made up S8 years after the event, by a man who proved a poor guesser. Again. and finally, the provisional gov ernment was one government, from Feb. 18, 1841, to March S, 1849. It is a historical crime to perpetuate the lie, and it should in no wise ever be condoned. t the Tongue Point Naval the year. Information, Please I Radio Programs S:00 News. 1:15 Malcolm Clair. :2.

Double Services Planned, Easter Presbyterian Church Will Also Present Passion Play Scene Series The Presbyterian church an nounces two morning serrices on Easter Sunday. The first service will begin at 9 o'clock. The sec ond service will be held at the usual morning worship hour of 11 o'clock. Rer. W. Irrin Wil liams will preach a different ser mon at each service. The special music of one service will not be repeated at the other. Easter Sunday night the aug mented senior choir will be heard in music denoting the passion and crucifixion. On the platform be low, scenes from the passion play of Oberammergau will be enacted by a group of players under the coaching of Everett Andrews. Costumes, scenery and special lighting effects will be employed. The crucifixion will be portrayed in pantomime. An outstanding feature of the Sunday night music-drama will be the unveiling of a hugs oil paint ing of Christ at Gethsemane, which Is being painted especially for the Presbyterian church by Victor Wierxba, Jr., whose pre vious work along these lines has won much favorable comment. Ths entire production, called "There Is No Death." is under the direction of George Lee Marks. During Lent ths Presbyterian church has been conducting a morning devotional service at t o'clock each morning. The public is invited to attend. Chapter 9 Continued George was happy now any way.

The mystery horse in the 1940 race ha functioned active ly In the number three peg of this administration for eight years, without expressing his opinions openly on the hot Issues of the day. His position as nerrrtary of state has put an international cloak around him. He has sat at cabinet, cloe to the Inner makings of the reform revolution, without being re quired to speak out about It, or wanting to. He did not wsnt to because his fixed purpose was the perfection of recipro cal trade agreements abroad, and he was wisely determined to keep both his purpose and hinutelf from Retting Involved In domestic politics. But it is possible to gauge what kind of a president be would make by the posltlona he has taken in private at cabinet. and the warm discussions he has had with his associates st new desl firesides. These are Here with presented, I believe, for the first time: Mr. Hull Is of the Wood row WII- .a. tv a son scnooi or iioeransm which Is somewhat different from the Franklin Roosevelt college. If he gets Into the White House, he will surprise the country. lie would, for instance, first bundle Messrs. Corcoran, Cohen. Ickles. Frank and the leftists of the ad ministration in a bag and throw them into eternal oblivion. He has brushed them off his desk occasionally with the back of his hand (his helium scuffle with Ickes). His desk-side com ment concerning some of their activities baa been caustic. Yap ping; against business has been particularly painful to him. Hull's is a more orderly llb rTallflm. He would op j spending and unbalanced bud gets, but not sweep them away with one sharp stroke. He believes that a positive pro gram of encouragement of capital business expansion 1 necewsary. These lines of thought have not been whipped Into definite remedial mean ores in bin mind, but apparent ly he would go a little further than the administration has gone. A point upon which he has stronR personal opinion is the chaotic lejra'l condition of kov ernment boards, like the securi ties exchange commission and the national labor relations board. Neither government nor business now knows what either can do under laws which are so broad as to be unintelligible. If the boards can not lay down simple rule, of conduct which everyone can understand, Hull would move to make their au thority specific. Relief is another question to which Hull has given some thought. Now a person can not get relief until he falls off the economic map, and the system keeps him off. Hull thinks regu lations should be changed to keep the man on relief ready for any private employment he can get. A distinction has also developed in his mind between needs In cities and rural communities. In his home state, for instance, he foresees the necessity of sub stituting partial for fulltime re lief in most rural cases. Tills man Is no utility baiter. He favors the Tennessee val ley authority, bnt is strongly opposed to its expansion as a national socialistic policy. His position on agriculture is not yet apparent. Working ar rangements lately with Secretary of Agriculture Wallace suggest he might follow the established path. He favors social security, the orthodox liberal doctrine of high est Income and sur-taxes, and general principles of wages and hours. This seems to establish him as about 66 per cent new deal, but a man with Ideas of his own. Some third term axemen hare been hacking at his liberalism, but his record in congress shows h was the author of the first Inheritance tax law, voted for child labor laws, federal reserve law, Clayton anti-trust law, fed eral trade commission act. For sound or pictures his rat ing is not the highest. On screen "Self Made Girl" By Hazel Livingston "Sure. He was okay. But what I mean is, George's a good guy." "I know." Linda said. It was true. Glenn wrote a nice little note, and George came and moved the packing boxes, snd fixed it so that she wouldn't have to be dependent on the family. That was real love. That meant something. Though ahe told no one but the family the news that Linda Perry was going to be married was soon all over the town. "Congratulations," said Mr. Rurber. the butcher as he wrapped the real chops. "I hear you're marrvinr a feller from Chester." His china blue eyes rested on her approvingly, as he waited for mora detail. Linda was well thought of. She was a swell kid who'd given up school to stay inmn and take care of her mnlhar "Well so this Is the little girl who's lost rotten nerseu en gaged." said Mrs. Wagner, Ruth's mother when they met In the shoe repairing shop.
