Editor and Publisher Measles- ef tie AaasHaleal tnm Tk flwirlilil lreaa to eael tvely est titled to Ik mm far psifcllea tl mt ail mw garfleb credited to M er Mt eJWtwtee creJltei la tkki 3Iilk and Propaganda A news story in the , Astorian-Budget relates that a co operative dairy there is planning to get out of the milk business and aapand its store to include appliances. The history of the cooperative is interesting, as the A-B reports it. Its membership wa largely Finnish and was 'once part of another dairy co operative. The division came over politics. Quoting: Originally the membership largely belonged to Consumers Dairy. As was true of many cooperatives with large Finnish mt'mtM-rsftjps Consumer! Dairy iplit poucajly. Although both the "whites" andyred" drank milk, they wanted to rtrirrfc it out of their own cups. The left wing branched oif from Consumers dairy and formed Young's Bay Corporative Daily, which handles milk the same way as Consumers Dairy, b'it w interested in political propaganda. However, the milk and propaganda departments are separate, the dairy being located in a concrete building and the propaganda plant in a wooden structure behind the dairy. Ever fcince the two dairies split, some, effort has been mada to bring the two dairies together. Seven years ago, Mrs. Peuh kunnerv reported today, the combination was sensibly discussed, but the fiist Russian-Finnish was "started over there and was fought here," she said. Throughout the war, the -patriotic Finns would not taste Young's Bey milk although there was no change in the test of tMitteittt. This may seem amusing to Americans. Actually it is very revealing of the emotional and intellectual reactions of those whose roots still go back to old countries. These immigrants bear in their minds the scars of persecutions and the memories of ancient antagonisms. It will take time for them to become adjusted to their new environment with its broader toleration; and some will always cherish their heritage of hates and of ardors growing out of old world settings. Lnuirg Patriot Last nifefct Company K. the Salem company of the Oregon state guard, held a dinner at the Marion hotel. In a way it was a farewell dinner to themselves, as the state guard will be demobilized this year, giving place to the revived national guard. The fctate guard members are the unsung patriots of the late war. They were the state s military backstop.' organized at the outbreak of the war. for service within the state in event ot domestic emergency or foreign invasion. They were never calld out for duty; but they were available "on call.' Few -people appreciate the work and effort put into the state guard djring the war years. They drilled in the armories; tti v engaged in field maneuvers; they made plans for local d-'tense. In conjunction with the U. S. army charged with local d-ifii!. they planned road blocks for coastal roads to delay the Japs if they banded on this coast, until the regular forces could arrive. State guardsmen furnished their own uniforms and for a considerable period had no arms for use in drilling. Only a few permanent officers received compensation. That they were not called out for actual duty was good fortune all around. Though their patriotism and ability were not put to actual test, the state should nonetheless feel grateful to tht-rn for their unrequited service. They won no laurels, held n encampments, marched in only a few parades. But they niiintfeMied their organization, ready for emergencies which never developed. Presumably they paid for their own diryiers jt night Really, the community should have given them a dinner in letogmtion of their devotion to duty through a critical pvi lod AW. Doe Slalom In an tfort to give communists the slip the American Wteiaiui committee meeting in Portland over the week-end di 1 a slalom in writing their resolutions which 'they hope will accomplish the result. This national organization was founded bv hUials who soon began scratching themselves from the corr.pi.ny that moved in on them. Even Franklin Roosevelt, Ji . confessed the communist penetration was proving embar- rassirig. The Oregon and Southern Washington representatives adopt e1 a resolution affirming positively'' their belief in the tradi tions of democratic liberalism: and then they showed the gate to any with totalitarian benefits by expressing disfavor on sup port lrm or membership by undemocratic groups "such as commurMits and fascists' They didn't throw the commies out. but told them in effect they were not welcome. It was time the AVC caught Very high conceptions of the showed a certain readiness to brought its judgment in question, quite aside from the criticism of red discoloration. There is a place for the organization, and its voht can be much more powerful than its limited mem bership would indicate if it tempers its enthusiasms with a little more maturity in judgment. C lothing for Ovtrwa During this week, under the auspices of the churches, col Ntt mm of usable clothing and shoes are being made for shipment overseas. Hniseholders are urged to leave their bundles of clothing at churches or fire stations or at the Portland General Electric office. The bundle will then be taken to the state peni teii'ii.ry where inmates will bale the garments for shipment to the collection depot at Seattle.

Funds will be needed to transport the gxxis to Seattle and any overage will go to the general fund for foreign relief through the churches. Death at Acer Road t Coiliston of two automobiles near Albany cost the life of Mrs. JoUn Stark Evans Saturday evening. Her husband is well known as a professor of music, who long was director of the Eugene Glee men.. Mrs. Evans herself was prominent both at Eugene mnd in Portland where the family has resided in recent years, and was active in the League of Women Voters. The accident occur red when a car entered the. Pacific highway and struck the Evans car broadside. It is to reduce the chanee of such happenings that the throughway bill is urged in the legislature. Access to the main highway would be t controlled points, which would greatly reduce the hazard. The tragic death of Mrs. Evans should add immediate em phasis to the need for favorable action on this measure. In China T. his sw an's - song. Oregon. Tu dory. March 4. 1S47 I t , , . . !

The general good, there fore, should prevail over the pri vate injury. The house sub-committee on forestry. I understand, plans to reduce the annual levy to 10c per thousand feet, which ought not to be very burdensome, and will provide funds for initiating the program perhaps as much mon ey as can wisely be spent in the next few years. Something must be done by this legislature. If not the severance tax then some other tax. If not a tax, then a proposal for a bond issue. Otherwise the only alter native is to invite the federal gov ernment to make a federal forest out of the Tillamook bum. Under proper management the cutover lands of northeastern Oregon will come swiftly into fresh timber production. Then a stable industry based on wood and wood products will develop, help ing to sustain and expand the economy of the entire region. The proprietary counties and schools, will derive substantial revenues from these lands. The state's experience with for est management is very good. It has acquired considerable acre ages and issued revenue bonds of $50,000 for the purchase and al ready has over $80,000 cash on hand from sale of miscellaneous products from the state forest lands. The present legislature should work out a program for this for est rehabilitation; or else it should invite the federal forest service to take over the job. The business is so urgent it must not be post poned another biennium. LUCIANO TO SAIL HAVANA, Cuba.
