Reserves Instead of Draftees
The army's announcement of its five-year
plan for doubling the number of organized re
servists who are paid for drilling is good news.
It Indicates that the military planners con
trary to occasional statements by individual of
ficers do not expect war in the immediate fu
ture.: . ' j
If the joint chiefs anticipated early armed
aggression ny tne enemy against we u. a. or
any of the allies we are pledged to defend, the
army would (or certainly should) be calling
for a greatly enlarged conscript army. In terms
of efficiency, the organized reserve is second
best to a regular army, but not a very close
second. It would still require some weeks of
-intensive training to get reservists ready for ac
tion; troops in the regular army- particularly j
those now stationed, in areas like Germany
aro kept ready for action. '
. Increasing the reserve rolls is good news for
another reason. Maintaining a large regular
army would be a great load on the nation's
economy.- Conceivably, turning the United Stat
es into an armed camp could wreck the eco
nomy of the nation. Keeping up a citizen army
of reservists, however, is the least we can do.
What they get for their two hours or so of
drilling and attending class a week is paltry
compared to what it would cost to feed and
tisuiBA nn1 nrnvida tinifwma nnrl i i nmpn t
for them on a full-time basis. As reservists,
: they continue in their civilian jobs, adding to
the nation's production and buying power.
Improving and enlarging the reserve pro
gram in the army maybe the key to that
It is to the navy's similar problem. Navy Chief
Forrest Sherman recently said the navy's or
ganized reserve and its readiness is a most im
portant factor in the availability of the inactive
fleet. .. ;
Admiral bnerman considers tne naval reserve
la a very healthy condition with 200,000 of
ficers and men in the 'organized and 800,000
nore in the Volunteer reserve. He recently re
organized his office to make the assistant chief
of naval operations for reserve matters directly
responsible to Sherman himself, thereby enabl
ing the admiral to keep in close touch with re
serve problems.
Strengthening - the army organized reserve
j from HOjOOO to 367,000 men and the volunteer
reserve to 625,000, should round out the mo
bilization potential of the two services, and, in
' proportion, strengthen the nation's defense or-

child. They may have to spend back-breaking
hours in a cannery or in a bean-patch to earn
enough to keep the youngsters in school. They
may endure domestic life with a drunkard or
a wastrel or a philanderer just for the sake of
the children.
Their names will not be; on the membership
lists of women's clubs or service clubs or bridge
clubs. They never have their pictures on the
society pages. They have jneither the time nor
the money to make their names known or their
good influence felt directly in their communi
ties. They may want to help, but their help will
always be unspectacular: A pair of shoes gladly
given to a less fortunate family, a plate of soup
sent over to a sick neighbor. They may want to
take part in community affairs, but their con-,
tribution may go unnoticed: A mite for the com
munity chest and a mite for the church and a
ballot in the ballot-box at election time.
No, youU never hear about them. YouH nev

long task requires. You'll never know what sat

efforts. ;
But, by their children you shall know-them.
For these unsung heroines, have produced the
men and women who made this country great.
And Oregon's tribute to one mother to Mrs.
Roe Cloud is an expression of our gratitude
to them all.
A woman, who must still have something of
the wonder of a child in Jier soul, wrote a let
ter to the editor of the San Francisco Chronicle.
It said, "Do you notice there aren't as many
stars in the sky as there used to be? I wonder
why it is. The sky used to be covered with
stars." That's all it said. Think about it, some
time ...
Oregon Mother-
Governor McKay made a wise choice when
he singled out Mrs. Henry Roe Cloud, widow
ot the former superintendent of the Umatilla
reservation, to be honored as Oregon's mother
.for 1950.- . , y. .-.!! . i
This outstanding woman deserves to be held
up a an example of how motherhood and serv
ice to the community can be effectively and
successfully combined. She reared four daugh
ters who are outstanding in their own right She
worked as a. nurse. She is active in women's
organizations, in social service, in groups acting

We get a glimpse of her fine character in her
statement upon being notified of her selection
as Oregon Mother. She said, VI don't feel I'm
bit deserving because there are so many fine
mothers in the state.
There art, indeed, and the state's tribute to
Mrs. Cloud Is really a tribute to all of them.
Millions of good mothers forever remain per
sonally anonymous. Unseen and unknown, they
accept and carrym their responsibilities. They
may be making a. heart-breaking day-by-day

life which may never have much of either, to a

Editorial Comment
A GREAT SPORTSMAN PASSES
' Conservation in Oregon has suffered a great loss
in the death of James L. Loder, Salem, elected last
Sunday as president of the Oregon Wildlife federa
tion. A zealous advocate of conservation, Loder's
contribution in that field has been most effective.
Loder became an ardent conservation evangelist
when he observed the abuse of natural resources
In other states and the large cost of restoration as
contrasted with the small cost of preservation.
He found by accident a special and effective way
of teaching conservation, j
He was one of the first automobile dealers In the
state to start transporting cars in caravans from the
factory to his agency in Salem. Rival dealers made
claims that the caravan method of transportation
lowered the value of a motor vehicle. To offset
charges by his competition, Loder started making
motion pictures to show how his caravans were
handled. He included bits of scenery along the route.
He found his pictures went in demand at service
clubs, schools and elsewhere for educational and
entertainment purposes. j
He had observed in his extensive travels how
other states had permitted, their natural resources
to become depleted and he determined that Oregon
should not permit such depletion, but should pre
serve its wildlife and scenic attractions. His camera
gave him the means of reaching the public Thou
sands of Oregonians have seen his films and have
been inspired to Join conservation ranks because of
the pictorial appeal. j
Loder served two terms las preident of the Ore
gon Wildlife federation and, after a lapse of one
year, was reelected last week end to a third term.
He worked aggressively for many years with the
Izaak Walton league and ether conservation agen
cies. He was a member off the legislative interim
committee which successfully sponsored plans for
reorganization of the state game department
Jim Loder was a great sportsman. He seldom
spoke of the game he had killed, the fish he had
caught. In fact, we doubt that his "kill" would set
any records. He loved the Outdoors in its natural
state. His hunting was with a camera rather than
with a gun. . ', J
It was a pleasure to work with Jim In the great
conservation cause. We will miss him.

Until recently we thought of Q !
fever as a disease of no impor
tance to Americans. Epidemics in
certain areas during the last few
years have opened our eyes to
the fact that "it can happen
here,' and have led authorities
to suspect that many thousands
of cases may go unrecognized.
The disorder usually starts
with fever, chills, muscle pains,
and headache, which may be
quite severe. It is important to
note that the disorder is often
mild, much more so than virus
pneumonia. In occasional instan
ces, there may be involvement
and congestion of the lungs, much
like that occurring in virus, pneu
monia. The fever may last from
a few days to a month or more.
However, in most instances, It
clears up within five' to fourteen
days.
e o o :
Q fever is caused by an organ-'
ism called the Coxiella bumetl
which belongs to a group of or
ganisms known as Rickettsia. -
Most persons who come down
with this disease have occupa
tions which bring them in con
tact with livestock, particularly
cattle, sheep or cows, or with
raw milk.
A definite diagnosis can be
made by what are known as ag
glutination tests.
Fortunately, this condition can
be quickly cleared up with the
antibiotic known as aureomycin,
though in a few instances this
drug has little effect. Just why
this occurs has not as yet been
explained. The aureomycin may
be given by mouth, as well as
by injection into a vein.
It has also been, found that
Chloromycetin, another antibio
tic, may be helpful in the treat
ment of Q fever. However, it has
been tried only to a limited de
gree at present, and whether or
not it will be more effective than
aureomycin has not. as yet been
determined.

When I was
in England re

kind of strike new to me, any

nor was it created there. It was
thought up in sunny Italy and
has become so popular that it is
now only two or three jumps
back of listening-to-opera as a
national pastime.
Come to think of it, only Ital

is a mischievous sort of strike,
and yet it has the elements of

It is a strike In reverse. In
stead of refusing to work, or
slowing down on work, the Ital

keep going steady until sundown

them to do. and no one wants
them to do.

In an early mornlne accident
his auto fas mashed into a three
feet wide space between a diesel
switch engine and a brick build

auto 20 feet along the wall and
"rolled it up like a cigarette"
according to one description.
Four shots of morphine inject
ed by a physician helped 30-year-old
Robert Patterson survive the

Patterson's car and the switch
engine collided at a northwest
side crossing at 2 a.m. j
Patterson, at first numbed by
shock, screamed as pain, engulfed,
him. Seeing that Patterson was
alive, the engineer, John Koaem
ba, decided against backing; the
engine away. He couldn't try It
without danger of injuring Pat
terson further.
A physician gave Patterson four
injections of morphine. They put
him to sleep. Firemen covered
him with a blanket A Catholic
priest gave him the last rites.
Another locomotive was dis
patched to illuminate the scene
with its headlight
Firemen couldn't use acetylene
torches because the wreck ; was
flooded with gasoline. A physi
cian said Patterson's leg appear
ed to be caught, but he advised
against amputation because the
victim would bleed to death if
he also was pinned at some other
part of his body.
Rescuers freed him shortly be
fore 8 a.m., and took him to
Alexian Brothers hospital where
he is in critical condition. !
Patterson, a clerk and an elec

THE FEAST, by Margaret Ken
nedy (Rinehart; $3)
The face of a cliff on the Eng
lish coast tumbles into the sea,
burying a summer hotel and sev
en persons. This much is told at
the start of this novel, so that
the reader doesn't need to be
surprised when ; the catastrophe
actually occurs at the end . . .
though he' might not have been
surprised anyway, for this is the
third time a cliff has collapsed
in new fiction. '
The question here is, which are
the sheep and which the goats,
which 11 survive and which sev
en die? Personally, I dont care.
Maybe the reader is the goat for
putting up with maundering, dat
ed and unlikely material such as
a dr lighter who grinds glass to
fed her father; a mother who
wants to be rid of her children,
a popular novelist who fastens on
young men like a succubus, a
folding bed that shuts up on its
occupants. I begin to wonder
whether this author's "The Con
stant Nymph could have been as
good as I supposed some 20 years
ago.
