iThe Healthier Attitude
.1 The all-important factor of a healthy attitude
and the danger of futile brooding over the ever-
faster tempo of the modern world stand out.
i sharply in the family tragedy of the Washing -
s test attorney who was associated with clevelop-
ment of the atomic bomb.
X. ! The attorney shot his wife, his daughter and
: himself. Relatives said he had developed a
; pfcobia regarding a leak in the secret of atomic
energy. It was a dangerous trend of thought.
. Day by day we are confronted with facts
and figures showing twentieth century man ts
learning probably more than is good for him.
Jfew destructiveness looms as a probability.
)ore terrifying weapons are disclosed. Interna
tional relations. run hot and cold. The cloud of
djoubt persists. But is it so much different from
tie status of the little boy, lying on the ground
I night, who. looks up at the millions of stars,
asks daddy the kind of questions for which
taere is no boyhood answer, shivers, and says,
j tt' scares to!"
It is different only in this way: The little
boy with the resiliency of youth can cast off
tlte fears and doubts of the infinite unknown
' which are as real to him as are the potential
Lprrors of man's inhumanity to man among
: f lks who are grown. And we have the power
' Id our collective hands to control the factors
mt which age has given us understanding.
, I j The little boy and his dog still are with us,
as .Well as the little girl and her doll, the
flowering cherry, the green hills and valleys,
.tAe kind words of friends, churchbells on the
; Sabbath, the Laughter of happy homes, and the
I cherished hopes for future years. The atomic
V bomb or any other human device has not chang
ed that picture. There are births and marriages
' and deaths. There are smiles and tears. And the
. Way is open as never before for health, security
, stnd happiness.
The person who lets an utterly futile worry
becloud the joy of seeing the first budding rose
Is on the way to trouble.

Commodity Price Changes
From the current news letter of Guaranty
Trust co. of New York we take some compari
sons of wholesale prices of primary comrnodi-
'. ties, revealing price trends over the last third
of a. century, from before the first world war
to the present. The dates are based on the
quotations for April of the years mentioned,
except xoe If 49 when March is used.

The effect of wars is visible in the price in
creases of 1120 and 1948 over preceding years,
although this is blunted by stricter govern-
!fc control in this war and use of subsidies
on certain products-
Strangely enough the devaluation of the dol-
lar can scarcely be traced as a price stimulant.
Despite devaluation in 1934 the prices of 1939
'remain generally lower than for 1913.
1 One general observation may be made and
- that is the commodity prices have not yet
reached the postwar peaks of 1920. In view
- of recent developments in pricing we may ex-
pert further price increases, but probably the
averages will not reach those of the period
r: after the first world war.
Ultimately the market is the determiner of
l- prices, and the "market is the blend of supply
5 and demand, of availability and use of credit,
':' of employment and purchasing power. Change
K Is a, rule of the marketplace because of the
presence' of many variable factors. That system
! Is the most flexible of sny. In comparison gov-
:, ernment price-fixing is stiff and slow. The live
economy f?refers the fluidity of fhe market to
: the dull rigidity of pricing by officialdom.
Call for Fowl
. I Our national food authorities certainly mis
; calculated last fall when they relaxed most of
' the ' restrictions on foods. They should have
been able to determine at that time the narrow
, ness of the margin of subsistence in many
f lands. Instead they threw' off rationing except
' on sugar, made no effort to conserve bread
crains, and let matters drift until winter was
- well advanced in& the pinch was visible in
- the emaciated faces of Europe's children.
Now there is a rush to salvage supplies to
help Europe survive vntil another harvest. But
" much f -our stock of grain has gone into live-
- stock, -lomestic foodstuffs and beverages: and
, ; farmers are hanging onto remaining supplies
r in anticipation of higher prices.
- ' Timid controls are being invoked to reduce
' domestic eonrumption ; and rationing is fended
' off. Reliance Is placed on a publicity campaign
to conserve food. Properly handled this could
accomplish much; but the temper of the time
is adverse. Our people seem auite unwillin.
now that war Is over, to make much sacrifice.
They are all eager to be on the receiving end.
Scant sympathy is felt for our late allies and
pone for our recent enemies. We are disposed
to withdraw again into a selfish isolationism,
though we reserve freedom to criticise all the
other countries. Tew Americans are going to
bed en empty stomachs that their cousins across
the? sea may be spared the persistent gnawing
of hcneer, $
Kousinf the conscience and dulling the ap
petite of he people of the United States is a
stupendous, task. Maybe some form of shock
treatment like rationing would be better.

Out of Hibernation
The Grants Pass Courier asserts there is "little
doubt locally" that Grants Pass is the tourist
capital of the world. It gives much of the credit
to the Cavemen of that city, who, say tha
Courier, go through their antics f'for ayery
definite purpose, a hard cash purpose to pub-
lici?e this area and bring the tourists there '
Since Rex Tussing left, the Cavemen .have
kept out of the news until we thought ithey
must have abandoned their caves 'and lairs to
live humans for awhile. Evidently the organiza
tion is being revived - because it is holdiftg a
contest for Cave Queen. We canj expectiit-;
and Grants Pass and Oregon Caves to hit the
headlines again, now that Harold Say is joining
up as manager of the caves. As a j a wbone-hold-ing
member we are pleased to note the Cavemen
are coming out of war-length hibernation.
Nature has been pulling some of its tricks.
Radio communication was badly messed up for
hours last week, scientists blaming the aurora
borealis or a sun" spot. Over the' weekend an
earthquake in the Aleutian regjon caused , seis
mic waves which were observed as far away as
Hawaii and the California coast. Neither dis
turbance was due to the spring equinox which
usually gets the blame for what happens around
its date.
House and senate in Washington have been
busy planning a new tune. It's an anti-Petrillo

WASHINGTON, April 3 The Dewey people com
pletely lost control -of party headquarters in' the.
election of a congressman for the past 29 years,
Carroll Reece, as national chairman. '
This was not reported but was evident in what
went on Inside at the -national committee election,
to wit: -i
Party people tried some weeks in advance to
find, what the 1944 candidate, Gov. Dewey, was j
up: to, in allowing his man Brwn
ell to resign.. He said he was up
to nothing. Also he knocked down
- each j name mentioned; to - him.
raising "Objections to Reece, Dana- '
her and 'others. The party people
concluded Dewey was searching
! for aj strong candidate 0 -
Theaght Danaher Weald Be Fair
About a week beforehand, Dew-
ey's men got behind John Dana-
her, the former Connecticut rfeena-
' . i i i i - ' eti
a year iqfo with the republican national committee
by Brovhsell. They did not see eye-to-eye with
Dana her on many Tissues, as Danaher had been
rated in isolationist and hadplayed -close to the
unions wi matters, but they, presumably, thought
he would be fair.
Forty-eight hours before the voting, it was a
struggle Jbetween Reece and Danaher, with ' no
other names being mentioned. But after a day of
hot campaigning among the national committeemen, .
It became evident to all, Reece would win. Reece ;
not only had his southern bloc of votes, based on
his Tennessee residence, but a mass support from I
the westerners who were determined that the j
chairmanship "should not go east."
About 1 p. m. Sunday, the day before the Vote, i
strange things began to happen. The old Willkie-
Weeks crowd brought forward John . Hanes, the
New York "financier-industrialist," as the papers ;
called him. Stassen's floor manager started vigor- ;
ously campaigning ; in the hotel lobby and the '
Minnesota ex-goverhor, held, a sort of trampaign .
court in his suite upstairs. !
Other New Names Breoght Us
Some other new names were brought into cam-
paigning, including Wherry of Nebraska. It was j
evident the opposition to Reece was trying to j
break up his support by putting up new men who ;
might draw votes away from him.
This worked only;! to the extent of delaying the :
Reece election from the first ballot, where it might
ordinarily have occurred, 'to the third, when the
core stood Reece 58, Danaher 22 and Hanes 21.
Stasaea covered his defeat by announcing the elec-
tion did not mean anything regarding policy i and ;
he would cooperate.
But it does mean something, as subsequent events
immediately began to demonstrate. A vacancy on '
the executive committee was to be filled. To this
place, the committee elected West Virginia's jWal-
ter Hallanan, a powerful party leader who! had
been eased off the national committee by Dewey
after the last Chicago convention. Hallanan had
been conspicuously snubbed by Dewey there. When
Dewey was meeting the national committeemen in
groups, Hallanan. who rated a private conference
as a leaxler, was called in with the least important
group of committeemen. Thereafter he stepped
down. -Then Reece's- campaign manager, Clarence
Brown of Ohio good friend of the sTaft-Bricker:
crowd) was chosen chairman of the executive com
mittee. . V
Cengrescional Creep Toek Coatrel
These inner events show without a doubt, control
of the republican party has been taken by the
congressional group, with particular eminence for
the Taft-Bricker people, and to the setting . back
of both Stasaen and Dewey. This is not an unreason
able, or unhappy development for the party at the
campaign ahead involves no national candidates,
but only congressmen. Furthermore, as Uttle gore
was shed in the melee, there is every prospect of
genuine unity between the party regulars in con
gress, the Taft-Bricker forces, Stassen and Dewey.
I hear further Dewey has recently 1 enhanced
his chances of re-election this year as governor of
New York. His popularity has been improved by
his handling' of the O'Dwyer New York City sub
way, tax and other matters. .1
Unless Farley runs against him, the wisest of
political owls are saying Dewey will win, and if
Farley does not get Into the race on the demo
cratic side but letsl the nomination go to jklead
or Johnson (0Dwyers campaign manager,) it
will be . a 'sign Dewey will not be required to
strain himself. " -

WAKK OF THR SED WITCH, ky
' Oar laa Kurk (Uttl. Brvwa;
..
In some 430 pages written just
to keep you reading, and suc
ceeding in it, too, Roark has put
together a combination adventure-mystery
yarn that spans the
last 75 years and ranges over two
oceans and two civilizations,
primitive and modern.
To match these extremes in
place and time, there is no pas
sion except red-hot passion, no
drunk except crazy drunk, .no
danger except mortal danger, no
ambition-except unholy ambition,
no fortune less than fabulous, no
girl less than divinely beautiful.
Half a dozen fortunes are avail
able for the reading: one In the
gold bars sunk in the Red Witch
when she hit a reef in the glamor
ous South Seas, one in the enor
mous trading empire-built ruth
lessly under the name of Batjaic,.
one in the pearls preserved deep
in i tropical lagoon under ! the
quadruple guard of whites,' na
tives, sharks and octopus.
The women of course are made
for love and definitely disinclined
to waste themselves. Back in Eu
rope it's Zulinde; out in the palm
fringed islands there are Lonyta,
Angelique, Teleia, with and with
out sarongs. Fot men you have
Sam Rosen, van der Ruysdaal,
Harmenszoon van Schreeven, Rit
ter du Buys, Ripper Arrezo,
Wilde Younguer, Mayrant Ruys
daal, Sidneye and more names of
a romantic cast.
And as for food, you may en
joy suckling pig and taro sauce,
roasted red mountain banana,
wild' pineapple, hot clam shells,
flying fish bake in leaves, pearl
oyster shell of fermented bread
fruit, crabs in hot coconut milk.
Sam Rosen tells the tale at
start and finish, and somebody
spells him in the middle . . . but
there's nobody to spell you, the
reader. It's an admirable, sure
fire story if you have five or six
hours to waste. But after you've
read it you forget it; in fact you
forget it as you read it; the
author seems to have expected
you might, for it's one 'of those
novels with the principal charac
ters listed separately before the
story begins. The Literary Guild
picked it for this month.

"TROUBLED WATERS"
I have lived near the Pacific
ocean most of my life, have also
been on the ocean beach many
a time; at no time have I heard
of such storms, or - of such high
waves, I just heard of ticial
waves that killed some people
and did a lot of damage. We are
also having earthquakes in di
verse places, seme of them bad
ones.
How can the people expect
anything else, they way they
are doing? God knows what is
in each one's mind and heart.
He also knows just who are tak
ing advantage of the war we
have just had, all the suffering,
the lives that were given to
make this and other countries
free, to live in peace and pros
perity. But what are a lot of
them doing? Making a lot of
money in the black markets, not
caring who is to suffer for it;
but God cares, and will repay.
They can not hide from God, no
matter how they try. Study
God's Holy word and see what
the reward of the wicked is. Do
those unions who are receiving
wages up to and over $1.30 an
hour ever think of what or how
the people who have to live on
a small old age assistance or,, a
small pension live? It is those
who make the large wages who
can buy in the black market and
who keep the prices so high.

Those countries who are trying

pay for it in the end; God knows
just who they are. If the women
who are making so much fuss

just spend, that much time in
earnest prayer we might have
peace in this nation, and it could
be even in the world. I think
all ladies like to be well dress
