Dwight Eisenhower will be the last Republican president the often ma ligned Herbert Clark Hoover. i .jsl -.. .Upon Eisenhower's capable shoulders now goes the task of building a Republican admin istration which in future years the Democrats can attack. It is a job which Hoover probably is erateful Eisenhower will assume, thus' letting his own regime after 20 years slip quietly into ; the past where Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New. Deal shoved it in 1932. i i For all that time Hoover has painstakingly and loyally defended not only his administra tion but all Republican administrations. It's been a hard task, considering that, as of this date, Qfer one-third of the American population can't even recall his administration if they were ' even born. "- -. " "' - - President Harry S.

It is a day of deep thankfulness for the survival of freedom; a day to dedicate ourselves to ever-increasing vigilance to the end that no assault on the individual liberties of man ever is sustained. The Shortage of Power ; ' ; The Shortage of power in' the Pacific North west to most of us seems too big a problem for the individual householder to worry about, but a visit to some of the power-producing centers would change' that attitude considerably. For instance, at Grand Coulee, with its seem ingly unlimited output of kilowatts, engineers evince little worry on most days ot the week.! But on Mondays "we have to watch things pretty closely that day. Our Saturday output must be increased at least 25 per cent to take care of washing and ironing." ' Sounds like small stuff. But there is nothing small about the billions of kilowatt 'hours of : power at Coulee. And the quotation is from the engineer in charge of the entire output. ' Certainly the great industrial plants of tho northwest use huge blocks of power. . But they are curtailed at times, by regulation and fiat. Householders usually are curtailed, only on a volunteer basis. And so long as volunteer coop eration is forthcoming, that should be all that is necessary. - .';' - '- ' -j ... .

"After, all, we've marched in the rain," was the com-j merit regarding cancelled parade plans. And the fact that business generally goes on as usual un-j derstandably rankles. ; " : t j It is an unresolved question as to why Armis-, tice Day has not become the nationally-accepted pause that accrues to Memorial Day. Perhaps it is because, in view of the continued assaults of despotism on 'world peace, it has become what its name implies, rather than a day of final vic tory as it once was regarded. ) . t - '; Whatever place it is accorded in public ob- servance, however, Armistice Day will gd dowrr In history as the end of a great war and the be- sy gt'Sfc3IUJJJ . n MM WOS5 I fit A AS.

Congressional Quiz Statesman staffers Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wright are in New Rochells, N. where Tom is attending a service PRO school. In addition to the snowy weather the Wrights were chilled to the bone by the high rentals in N. Y. "A house such as we rent in Salem," Tom says, "would cost between $150 and $200 per month here (in New Rochelle)." Apartments start at around $125 per month and there are not very many of them. "Any . thing decent" costs at least $100 pra. Because of the color line in New Rochelle you can rent a little cheaper if you rent from a colored landlord. In addition to the physical effort involved in tramping from one landlord to the other, Tom says, there is the additional wear and tear on nerves and heart because you fall . into a coma each time a landlord gives you the bad news.
