Eisenhower's endorsement of Senators Mc-. Carthy and Jenner, and the deflection of Na tional Young GOP Vice Chairman Steve An- derson may or may not be a straw Anderson's resignation as a protest to the en dorsement would have drawn greater sympathy if he had ended the matter there, for the time being, at least. But when, based on only one Incident (mistake, if you please), he also an nounced support of Gov. Stevenson, he weaken ed his case. After all, campaign statements are Just now starting to jell, and Gov. Stevenson himself has not been free of contradictions by any means. , There will be other instances on which judg ment can be based in the next few weeks. Many millions of voters already know for whom they'll vote but other millions who are convinc ed a definited change of course is needed are not yet certain who should be captain. No Time to Let Guard Down The, Industrial Forestry Association reminds that September is no time to let down our guard in the woods and cites some startling facts to prove it. . Pointing out that there has been no rain of ground-soaking proportions for several months, and that it will take more than a little precipi tation to end the present hazard, the association gives this record: v On September 17, 1902, the Yacolt fire start ed and before it burned itself out another 200,-000-acre loss was added to the half-million acres which already had gone up in smoke that catastrophic summer. On September 15, 1868, fires in Coos and Curry Counties of southwestern Oregon laid waste to 300,000 acres of rich timber. On September 26, 1936, the town of Bandon was destroyed, 11 persons were burned to death ewd thousands of acres of timber were lost. No, early September doesn't always bring an end to the danger. Eternal vigilance is still all important if the northwest is to weather 1952 without serious damage. They're Not Helping Their Cause Whatever Harry Bridges may be - a Com- : munist, a fellow-traveler or a much-maligned loyalist, there certainly can be no sympathy with the protest work stoppages on the docks of west coast ports. If ever a man had enjoyed the advantages ana protection of . democratic processes, it is Bridges. His attorneys have used ever device and subterfuge at their command to assure his continued residence in this country, and Bridges himself has been given opportunity time and again to explain his views and actions. He was convicted of perjury and that conviction now. has been upheld by U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. . i - ' Loyalty to a boss is one thing.

Oregon's historic old capitol set the motif for many a development in Salem and the state. One was the lighted dome above the marquee of the Capitol Theatre. It remained in place for many years after fire had levelled the pictures-, que statehouse. Some months ago it was taken down and something seemed m:vdng in the downtown area. Now, in line with changes in , the statehouse itself, a miniature statue of the Pioneer has taken its place in front of the widely-known showhouse. It is a nice addition, at tractive and tasteful. We'll miss the old dome a little less now. Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia seems a lot more sanguine than a lot of our own brass regarding Russia's immediate intentions. He says the Reds have no plan to attack Yugoslavia "within the near future." In Salem, 18 months ago, a U.S. general said he believed the Soviets would at tack Tito-land at the latest by the summer of 1932.

As diplomacy Is conducted these days, this may be a diplomatic triumph. Perhaps history will data the beginning of the Russian retreat from the day that the Kremlin had to admit the Americans could talk meaner than they .could. j Or perhaps shortly we will learn that a Russian really coined the term "snouygoster" back in the Seventeenth Century,, (Wall Street Journal.) lower tariffs, and remaval of oth er trade hindrances.

This 362- page volume opens with a novel called On Roaring; Mountain ty Lemon ade Lake," and concludes .with two novelettes, "The Silent Land" and In Another Country." : Love and lovers and loving and love are very definitely the topic, and the novel is typical: A young lady : named Jacintha, after a wild ride , in a coach, is suddenly dumped out m the middle of "the most magnificent and astonishing landscape on which she has ever laid her handsome eyes. With equal suddenness there appears to her a man, six feet three or four inches tall, "beautiful, over powering, gorgeous creature who is "nearly naked, which is to say, "naked, for he wore only a lioocloth." And Jacintha, those handsome eyes popping, reflects that "he is the man every woman hopes aheH be raped by.". : 4 She gets her wish, for he is the DeviL. and there's june. of act ef eonxreaa alarea a. urn of demanding that courts aub- special interpretation in their i Mr. Malik, the Soviet represen Britain also wants the TJ.

Hardening of the arteries in the arms and legs is a problem that faces many people getting along in years. This is a condition that can have serious complications, but we also have many methods to prevent them, including drugs, surgery, exercise, and mechanical devices. The object of all is to In crease the blood supply through the arteries. o o a The arteries in the legs may harden when calcium collects in deposits along their sides, and. robs them of their elasticity. Gradually, the blood passage be comes narrow, and the slightest injury or infection may cause the blood to form clots inside the artery. There is also a tremen dous decrease' in the blood supply to the legs. This is why older people have a greater tendency toward bad leg infections and the easy occurrence of gangrene. Many of these people also have other diseases that come with age, such as arthritis, diabetes, or certain blood disturbances. These make It much more diffi cult to treat the arteries and to prevent the serious complications of a poor blood supply. . Certain conditions, such as vi tamin deficiency, can and should be corrected, however. Anemia must also be promptly corrected. Usually, the first complaint of a person with hardening of the arteries in the legs is pain In the legs while walking. The pain Is generally in the calves, and is relieved by rest, though soma cramps may occur while the per son is at rest. If walking brings severe pain, it Is important to I avoid walking as much as pos sible. Special exercises for the legs, known as Buerger's exercises, are helpful in Improving the circula tion. Drugs, such as .priscoline land etamon, and Injections .of the nerves along the spine may also be used to relax the blood vessels - and increase the flow of blood. o o . An operation, known as sym pathectomy, which cuts certain nerves in the back. Is helpful In special cases to increase the cir culation through the legs. Spe cially designed vacuum pressure machines are also available to help increase the circulation. With these modern methods,' fewer people will be fated to develop severe symptoms from hardening of the arteries, and amputations will be performed less often. People of advanced age will also be able to take part in more physical activity and get around more easily.' QUESTIONS ANJD ANSWERS U.
