In fact, after two months of soliciting by community leaders on m volunteer basis, residents of Salem and the sub urbs , have not yet matched the 1931 amount raised, let alone the 10 per cent increase de cided on for this year. , - To argue the merits of various devices for attracting public support to the Chest agencies is beside the point. The one important point now is that Salem hasn't given generously enough. ' It is certain that citizens have been made aware of the Chest appeal, considering the time devoted to solicitation by hundreds of Salem folk and considering the widespread, publicity given this campaign. i- It would be hard to believe, too, that the fine work of Chest-benefitted agencies in Salem has escaped attention. ' I .Thousands of boys and girls and folks-inrneed ire served in the area-wide programs of these teencies Boy Scouts, Catholic Charities, YM- CA, Girl Scouts, Legal Aid Clinic Camp Fire Girls, YWCA and Salvation Army. These w ganizations submitted budgets to the chest to talling $140,000 this year. The businessmen serving as budget committee for the Chest felt that amount was too high to be raised, but they i found no particular services they considered ex ! pendable. However, they ordered a 10 per cent eut and set the Chest goal at $126,000. Toward this, only $108,000 has been raised. I The Chest expected that increased contribu tions would make up for the elimination of house-to-house canvassing this year when the emphasis was put on "giving where you work." &ut it didn't work out that way, and now the Chest has decided it will ask Salem area folk to I give at home. - j i This will be in the form of a Porchlight Cam paign Tuesday night when anyone wishing toj give should have his porchlight on between Q and 7:30 pan. Chest workers will call at those! homes. It is hoped this maneuver will bring lnj gifts from persons somehow overlooked In the asain campaign and will bring in extra con-' trlbutions from those who decide to up theirT donations. The need is genuine. 5 costs (up 8 per cent over -two years ago) and j wages (up 12 per cent in the same period). And in the month of September alone, West Ger many's exports exceeded imports by nearly $36, 500,000. Too, unemployment has been cut to 1, 037,000 out of a total population of 48,500,000 which includes 13,000,000 refugees. 1 ' j In ordinary times and under ordinary circum stances, such an economic picture could bring nothing but praise and pleasure. Certainly it earns congratulations at any time. But we hope the remainder of Europe can begin to share in the results of enterprise,' initiative and hard work so that the cleavage between the haves -and have nots won't endanger operation of the integrated alliance against the encroachment of , Communism. L r ' Portland's Rerolt " j From the attitude expressed by City Attorney Alexander Brown of Portland, it can be taken that Oregon's metropolis again will break out With Daylight Time next summer, regardless of tKe statewide vote against it. If such is the case, it can only be assumed that Portland just doesn't give a hang about the re mainder of the state. It must be well known that Portland, with its centralization of so many of the state's interests, has a great deal to do in determining the course of other municipalities.; It is both inconvenient and a bother to have Portland time differ from burs. But if Portland Ignores the state-wide mandate and goes its own way, let it go. And we hope other Oregon cities feel the same way. - . j It is admitted that the vote Tuesday leaves the way open for Portland to go on Daylight Time. There is no known way of enforcing the majority opinion. But it might help make known state displeasure if, in event, Portland changes Its time again, we just stay home more. Such action might make Portland realize that de pendency works txth both ways, jj There is no right or wrong to the time argu ment, not even after Tuesday's vote. But we feel there's a moral obligation to abide by majority view and more than a moral obligation to have the state uniform no matter which time is in Vogue. . - , - - .

Tet if that gal lant lady had been holding down any of a great many other Jobs in the United States she would have faced compulsory retirement a year ago at the 1 mystical moment of reaching 65. - , ; j A writer in the November Reader's Digest decries 1 as nonsense the practice of compelling people to re tire at 65 or even at 60 when they are qualified to work, prefer to work, need to work, and have in- I valuable experience and talent to offer. He recalls jthat the great Inca civilization prescribed certain occupations for certain ages regardless, of Individ ual abilities, and Implies that this rigidity may have contributed to the decay and downfall of the Incas. Hi. The arbitrary retirement policy of cresent-dav lAmericansT the writer asserts, ignores vital statis tics, is medically unrealistic and takes no account of the fact that Inflation has made a mockery of many pension plans. Other voices have been point ing out the same thing and deploring the waste of Skills and energies through Inelastic retirement po licies.
