In-chief who so recently was given a resounding vote of national confidence. I As one of the original sponsors of the Willam ette Valley Project and an aggressive member of the Columbia Basin Interagency Committee, McKay has long taken an active and fruitful part in reclamation and conservation of natural resources. . So, too, has he been an advocate of joint federal-state action in such matters. And as governor of Oregon he has rounded his ex perience and interests with a practical education as a large-scale administrator. . With McKay Iheading the interior department and Sen, Guy Cordon whom many say might have had the secretaryship had he so desired as third in command of the important senate in terior and insular affairs committee, Oregon in deed is well represented in an important seg- racui ui uie lie w auuuiusudiiuii. .

Their home city and state will miss them both. ( Under current interpretations of the law, able Senate President Paul Patterson would assume ; the governorship should McKay resign prior to the election of a neW senate president when the legislature meets Jan. 12. It can be said that the : state would be in good hands. " the people in the British Isles are worth remem bering and applying to their own lives in the United States. And the British, in turn, will re learn something they should have remembered from the last war that the enthusiasm of tha Yanks can be turned from praising the U. S. to praising Britain if the boys are shown the type of hospitality that merits it. Norway Hails Ike It is most heartening to know that most of our " foreign friends believe the election of Gen. Dwight Eisenhower to the Presidency was a wise and well-earned choice. This view is re flected markedly in a statement last week by Norway's Premier Oscar Torp and in comment by Arbeiderbladet, main organ of the Norway Labor Party. Premier Torp observed: "From'our viewpoint. It Is Important to note the fact that even in the heat of the bitter elec tion campaign, no basic differences were ex- -pressed with regard to U. S. foreign policy. ' "Both in peace and war, General Elsenhower , .has made unique contributions to the benefit of Europe. It is my conviction that the firmly es-' v tablished cooperation between the United States and Western Europe will be continued, by and large unchanged, under the new President." Arbeiderbladet' s editorial said in part: "Hardly any American President designate has enjoyed such a good name abroad before his election as General Eisenhower. He was in chief command of the Allied forces which liberated Western Europe from the Nazi yoke, a difficult and trying task. He won his greatest reputation, not as a field commander, but as an 'organizer and mediator who was able to bring about . ' smooth cooperation among armies and generals from many countries. It .was bis straight-forward manner and commorisense that won him the requisite authority. - "This rare ability to inspire confidence made General Eisenhower the natural choice to direct . ; the organization of Western Europe's defense ;- .under the North Atlantic Treaty. We looked up on him as a guarantee that the United States would follow, a moderate and sound policy in Europe." It's possible we did promise the peeple a few things bef ere election bat as men of Integrity we sans! set be swayed by sack a preasare groan . . . - With such good wishes from abroad, our new President should be off to a good start in his avowed efforts toward world peace.

' As yet we have no definite rare for leukemia, but we do hare treatments which relieve suSrr tng and prolong life in a con siderable number of cases.

They know that the final cure, if found, would be a great g.rt to thousands of parents, for luany victims of leukemia are young children, Leukemia Is due to an abnor mal production of the white blood cells. It msy be compered to a tumor growth within the blood stream. The white blood cQa have the Important function of fighting disease germs In the body How ever, in leukemia, these cells multiply way beyond normal. A number also get Into the blood stream before they are fully de . veloped to perform their work. Usually a white blood count up to ten thousand white blood cells Is considered normal. In leukemia, it may go up past fifty thousand, and even to the hun dreds of thousands. Leukemia usually starts sud denly with fever and weakness. ana also beings an anemia, or shortage of red blood cells. The many white cells seem to "crowd out" the red cells, which are needed to carry oxygen and food to the different parts of the body. , Nosebleeds are fairly common. and there may be hemorrhages In the skin and Inside the body. These are due to a shortage of blood platelets, needed to the blood for proper clotting. In ad dlUon,- the spleen and lymph glands are usually enlarged. Many treatments have had lim ited success In helping children and adults with leukemia. One of the best so far Is with cer tain anU-vitamins, so called be- cause they Interfere with the use of a vitamin, folic add. This one of the vitamin B group, and Is Important In the manufacture of blood cells, both while and red. However, the white cells seem to use more folic acid than the red cells. By cutting down the folic add, the anU-vitamins re duce the number of white cells. and give the blood system chance to return to normal.

It is no secret in Britain that the boys on the American air bases eat royally, by Eng lish standards. And the British people, know that some of the perishable food on the! mess hall tables! come from their own dwindling supplies. The, British are a proud (not arrogant) people who dislike having to pay 70 cents tax per pack' on their cigarets, but like no better the way many Americans condescend to pass around a few of their own less expensive but better tast ing brands. : Britons are quiet, but when stirred are quick to let you know that they are far more impress ed with the traditions and culture of their own nation than they are with the mechanical gad gets of America.,! , i ' . We understand that greater efforts are to be made to bring about understanding between the British and the U. S. airmen. This program is bound to succeed because both nations are po pulated by friendly people... Our boys will learn upon closer contact with , the British that the manners and philosophy of aiasfe tended to parts of the Willamette Valley.
