"Postwar Dreaming. . f.:
While there are still echoes of the super
u. duper world which would dawn with the peace
4 they axe only echoes- Even, the advertising
' agents have quit soaring into the blue empy--rean
of their imagination to sketch the house,
, the L motor car, the refrigerator of the im
: mediate future. 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
. A Portland Journal; reporter quoted Adm. -Vickery

Parsons in Uniform- i. I 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 : ; :

The War Nevs
By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Copyright 1944 by tbt Associated Pran
The red army's capture of Novogorod, central de- s
f ensive stronghold on the lower. Volkhovo, strong
ly suggests that a line-S German retreat is under
way from the upper Lovat river in the" south to the
' Baltic coast in the north. t ; ; -
Even " before Moscow announced its i capture,
official Berlin war bulletins acknowledged "evac
uation", of the city on the Volkhovo at the northern
iimen. ;. i u - u . ;
Moscow reports indicate that : the Russians are
! promptly expanding both southward and westward .
' from Novgorod. They are within 30 miles of Shlmsk
down the rail and road system skirting the western
rim of Lake Ilmen. Its capture would isolate Star
; aya Russa except for the StarajraRussa-Dno-Pskov
; railroad which is also threatened. 'if ;; :.X r ; , f -y:
Complete lifting of the 'Leningrad siege,' pos- .
; sible entrapment of German forces between Lenln
gxad and Lake Ilmen and a wide-based central jab
to split the nazi, Baltic front apart to the Piepus
lake chain, were the indicated first objectives of
the Mighty Russian attack in the north. ; : f 1 - j
With the loss of the 'essential Novgorod anchor
age, however, the whole German front: in Russia
from the marshes of the Pripet to the Baltic! is
endangered. , r ! " Tf 1 '.' 1 4 X H-.? ll'
. . Tremendous as has been the success of the over
I whelming Russian two-pronged a ttack in - the im
: mediate Leningrad area, the break-through on the
lower Volkhovo has far greater potential strategic
L significance.- With the Novgorod strong point lost,
the whole German center on the Baltic flank is
- threatened with collapse. Russian : spearheads al
l ready must be forcing' westward down' ; the Nov-gorod-Luga
escape route left open to the fleeing
nazi garrison, when Novgorod was cut off to the .
-north and south:f elf ? r K-!ft K -UiU - :
An advance of less than 50 miles westward on
that line would cut the last north-south connection
for German forces in ! the Leningrad and upper
Volkhovo theaters except, ior I the i'Pskov-Narva
line Just east of the Pelpus like chain, Nor is there
any indicated strong natural defense front for a
;.new nazi stand to be picked out on the maps east
of-the Peipus lakes.: j : :if . .'
V The : country through which the Russian west
ward push from Novgorod is aiming is dotted with
small lakes and swamplands, how heavily frozen. '
It is devoid of north-south river barriert or sub
stantial heights. The fall of Novgorod means open
winter, warfare on the whole Baltic flank at which
the Russians have never s failed to outmatch their
nazi antagonists. - . : ' s ii
That was demonsfrated) anew in! the surprise
Russian crossing over frozen Lake Ilmen to cut
Novgorod off from the south as well as the north
t and wrench it overnight from German hands.
. The nazi hish command faiM nturit. ...j
the portents at Stalingrad aright a year ago, and
lost an army. The indications are strong that In
the Ukraine and the Dnieper bend fit has again
failed to fall back, in time toescape very grave
entrapment dangers hovering over the whole Ger
man Black sea' flank ' - - -r - , . .

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. '

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.
