The zest, for a helicopter on the roof of every garage has waned as people be : come happier at the prospect of one steak in ; t very skillet. ; ' In the field of automobiles it is now an-, nounced from men vfho are in position to know that the first .models will be the 1942 models of-which few were produced. Initially the pro duction probably will be confined to the lower priced cars, thought there will cost some 20 per cent more than two years-ago. Houses of the future will not be quite the dream bouse .of the illustrated magazines. There is still stock of multiple housing : and prefabrication with plyboard. But designers still are leaving a roof on the house as well as one on their own imaginations. As for radios, refrigerators and other appliances the demand will be so great that manufacturers will start in where they left off, introducing new models later on after they have gone through exper imentation and when the market needs a fresh stimulus. - " ' The postwar world will look pretty much the same for a time at least- just as the new year now seems little different from 1943. There is a momentary thrill about January 1, and retrospect and prophecy flourish, but by January 10 or 21, the new is wearing off, we become accustomed to making the date 1944 in stead of 1943, and we forget the changes that were prophesied for the new year, j; This is not to say; that the postwar world will, be static. Not so. Change call it progress if you will may accelerate. But initially there will be merely the tteing of threads in with the 1941 skein a period of lull, of readjust ment, before the fresh new currents take hold, i The war calls for such a concentration of en ergy and attention that its termination will not release at once the products which may be contemplated. In few fields will there be revolution; in most all there will be evolution. Another Centennial Receipt of the Old Oregon Trail Centennial commission's report of its activities serves as a reminder that the centennial year of the "great migration and of the historic though contro verted Champoeg meeting is past, and that the ;' observance was through no fault of the com mission, less extensive than originally had been planned. There was in 1943 more urgent busi ness than recalling history of a century before. Yet to the degree that was appropriate, the centennial was observed. The commission spon sored essay and art contests, provided historical sketches which were published in newspapers, some of them in The Statesman; distributed 35,000 copies of the historical, booklet "Wagons West"; arranged through the Boy Scouts for special attention to pioneers' graves; observed a trail marking day in August and was host to the American Pioneer Trails association con -vention in November; sponsored 'a historical exhibit week in August; encouraged Oregon : history programs in schools and churches and on the radio; brought about the naming of a ?, number of Liberty ships for pioneers; distri ? buted 2000 Oregon Trail j maps. The report ; makes no mention of it but the commission also : participated in the Champoeg day program, of : particular interest to Marion county, though ' that observance was not what it " might J have been in the centennial year, war or no war. The centennial year is past, and there must . be regret that its potentialities could not be " realized to the fullest. But there are other cen v tennials coming up; early Oregon history is packed full of significant events. ' j This year 1944, for example, is the centen nial of an episode in which Oregon assumed , international importance, remote and thinly populated thought it was in 1 844. That also was a presidential year, and the slogan "Fifty Four Forty or Fight" rang out in the cam- paign. For the present, . merely a reminder; . more will be said of that interesting chapter at V a later date. ! . . Nite-Qub for Carol j The Russians have passed the word along to King Carol of Rumania, now night clubbing in Mexico City that he should just forget about going back to Rumania. They call him a comic " opera field marshal who was ambitious for " territorial gains and not at all the democrat that, his American publicity expert claims he 5 was. Since Russia is getting ready to take, back ; Besarabia which Russia lost following the first ; world war Rumania is shivering in its boots; and King Carol can't save.it . j But why should Carol want to go back to ' Rumania when he can enjoy the. luxuries of : Mexico City and the company of Mme Magda : : Lupescu? He can run his night club, mix with 'l ; the social net, play with -the American and European playboys and girls who will J visit ; Mexico after vthe war. But he doesn't seem to ' ..be very happy. Wants' to get into this country, i and seems to yearn for his place in the king row again. j . What will happen in Europe is still obscure, but the prospects for royalty are very poor ' whether George of Greece, Carol of Rumania, 1 or Peter of Yugoslavia. Carol should stick to ' i.is night club. ' - X - - : :S L: i .

The churches and especially , the ministers .were against war; Well, who wasn't? Ministers were perhaps a bit less realistic than the- av erage, in their failure to recognize that it takes two to keep a decent peace. I But when ! war came in spite of their best efforts, they made up for that. The comment accompanying one young Texan pastor's! application for i a chap laincy was significants "If the church does not respond to the religious needs of our boys at this time, we may expect them not to respond to our appeals afterward." j f j I The "parsons in uniform are to be found 'wherever service men are Writing from a troop . transport passing through submarine infest ed waters, a soldier informed his mother, ac cording to the censor: "Our souls are safer than our bodies on this trip; we have nine chaplains 3 By all accounts, the chaplains are doing an outstanding job. Pictures lot well-attended re ligious services in New Guinea's ; jungles and on African wastelands attest : that ; fighting men take an interest in religion including many who didn't before. To say "there are no atheists in foxholes" is merely to say that. war's . experiences cause men's ; thoughts to turn to religion. "A soldier," remarked one chaplain who had been in the thick of things, has born in him a conviction -that makes him conscious that God is very real and close to him a con viction that he isn't! going to lose when he comes out of that." 3 ; : r 1 M What about that the durability! of religious conviction born in wartime?. It may be recalled that similar reports came: out of France in the last war. Yet the veterans, later oh, could not4 be described, as a class, las particularly reli gious or at any rate, as particularly active in the churches. But there may.be an , answer to that, though the way to it leads to another question: . if j- X ' . What' is he nature of the soldier's religious faith? The same chaplain, Maj. John S. Gar renton, quoted in United States j News, has part of the answer. Soldiers are not interested in creeds, dogma, denominational differences. Protestant, Catholic or Jewish chaplains hold services; Protestant, Catholic and: Jewish sol diers attend. As for the various shodes land di visions of Protestantism, they are totally sub merged. At this point another question arises: What sort of religious ministry are these chaplains performing? It is safe to say! that men facing the realities of life and. death in combat are 'not satisfied with anything syn thetic, with mere words or with preaching that doesn't ring true. Chaplains, facing the : same realities, are in - favorable ' position to supply the sort of religious guidance they need. Possibly when the chaplains return to civil ian pulpits they will retain the ability to pre sent religion in such manner that it will remain vital. Perhaps it's unjust to the cloth in general, but we harbor a suspicion that the chaplains have gotten hold of something which is partly new. . ) I h ft 11: '1 : ; : i- The War Nevs By KIRKE L.

The assocaltion also urged that all ' food 'problems production. distribution and pricing be turn ed over to the war food adminis tration;! The growers asked can cellation of celling on live ani mals ' and expanded federally-in spected slaughtering plants as part of an effort j to redirect supplies from the black market into nor mal channels.; - The state legislature's emergen cy committee! was called upon to increase bounties on j predatory animals by matching state funds to county money.

That Is. a clear In vasion' member rights,; and may have the effect of imparing the value of its property. "It has been the economics of newspaper production which has caused the reduction In number of newspapers published over the last quarter ; century; not the lack of neWs services. In this regard the: legal question Is somewhat academic, now; but that is no reason for letting the adverse court- decision go by default; To the extent that" it may encourage spite or racket papers it does the community a disservice. Considering, the splendid pre- f ormance of the Associated Press and the ; fact that it has been in existence all the tune the Sherman act has : been on the lawbooks f it ' seems an outrage that now it: should be attacked. when the competing services; UP and INS, are also at the peak of their strength and quality, prov ing that no crushing monopoly In, the news field exists. , The decision of the lower court was two-to-one, I and the' majority opinion, like the original com plaint carried a sort of apologetic tone. Hence, the case -should be carried ' to the federal supreme court to see if the full liberty of the Associated Press as cooperative imay be preserved. Fourth War Loan Thought For Today A 8aered Daty You should be your own best salesman of extra war bonds. Here's why: 1. The series "IT bond is de signed especially for you, the : average inves tor, with $18.75 to $750 to loan Uncle Sam to keep backing the attack o a your 'Axis ene mies.1 2. War bonds . are the best investment in the world. . An $18.75 ?E" bond bought now will Increase in ten years to $23. A $37.50 bond becomes $50, a - $75" bond $100, and so on up to the $750 bond, which will return you $1,000 at maturity. ; .. Why should you- buy :TT bonds? The - purchase of war bonds Is one of the most sacred duties of every American today. Your fET.- bonds back the attack by providing the guns and tanks and planes and bullets for men on the battle lines. Your bonds are helping to check wartime In flation by draining off excess spending power. Finally, your bonds will provide you with a backlog of. savings for th rainy days after the war. ' . How many "E" bonds should r you buy? As many as . you can afford and then some. A soldier doesnt ask how long he should fight. f . - .. . ; Ommc m3 - ". . . with an up-to-date mounting.

I, Draft Boards Order Exams WASHINGTON, Jan.- 20-flPK Draft boards are ordering 1-A men to'report fof pre-induction phys ical examinations whether or not they, have appealed their 1-A classification, a selective service spokesman said. - The idea is to get the pre-induction physical out of the way first, and determine whether the man is fit for service, before pro ceeding to hold hearings or oth erwise consider; an appeal which he may make within 10 days after being classified; 1-A. , In such cases, the spokesman ex plained, the 21-day period of civ ilian life, which every, registrant is guaranteed after passing a pre induction physical, dates front the day the draft board mails the man his certificate of physical fitness, and not from the day his appeal is finally turned down.
