Only about 1.000 volunteers have signed up toward the? 10,000 a month who must be recruited if the goal of 90,000 is to be met in the next nine months. ' Slowness of teen-agers to respond volun tarily to what is supposed to be such a good deal for them can be attributed to two things: 1. Either President Eisenhower was right when he asked for a compulsory short-term universal military training program for 18 - end 19-yeat-olds. instead of the Congress approved program that depends upon volun tary enlistments. 2. " Or the public is not yet well enough in formed about the new program which en ables young men to spend a short six months ; in active duty training followed by 7 xk years in the Reserve an arrangement whereby military duty will hardly intefere with civil ian job or schooling. - . This newspaper, which has opoosed com pulsory UMT. hopes that the latter reason ; is correct. If. when; fully apprised of the terms of the Reserve training program, the ; young men do not voluntarily take advan tage nf this easv wav out of being drafted for - two years' active duty, then the alternative is clear. The administration will have to ask Congress again to make military training compulsory and this time the Army will have convincing facts and figures to back up its request for manpower. But we believe that the teen-agers will sign, up in large numbers once the military's public information .program gets rolling. And the job of informing the youth depends to a large extent upon the cooperation of par ents and educators.

(M.W.W.) Give Everyone a Chance The Junior High football jamboree, sched uled for Saturday night -at Bennett Field, has grown into quite an institution in Salem. Parents) by the hundreds turn out and the event provides a real opportunity to cement still further the cordial community coop- eration which has enabled Salem to stay somewhat near abreast of its school needs. The closing of the old West Salem Junior High rather limits the competition, in the im mediate present, but with two more junior highs on the planning boards the event will become! of increasing interest and import .ance. J ' ;i It has been unfortunate in some of the E past years that the will to win has mitigated against the good that otherwise could be de rived, both for students and parents and the schools. Results of the round-robin play at the jamboree, despite the fact the score has little bearing on the" junior hish season championship, have been stressed too much. ;.Only a comparatively few of the boys in uni ; form have been allowed to get into action, ' even for one play. The Junior High Jam boree strikes us as a time when every boy" on the j squads should have a chance, and every parent in the stands should have a -, chance to see them on the field. Competitive soorts are one thing and the competition need not be eliminated. But en- . .

And the choice of Van-' port, several miles north of the city center, undoubtedly was made after careful and serious study But upstate ioiks line our- -selves are going to be a bit hesitant about plowing through Portland almost to Van couver, "Wash., to patronize the events. It seems regrettable, that ,some site isn't avail able that would be convenient both to Port- J landers and the hundreds of thousands of valley residents on whom Portland depends so much for the support of its major .sports activities. The news generally belies the: skeptics who worry about the heavy increase in our popu lation. From Linn County comes word that seldom in recent times has there been such a dearth of available labor. Industry working full-time doesn't leave much leeway for agri cultural help, and much of the latter already has gone elsewhere where some harvests ex tend much later than the season ; drawing toward a dose here. The FJews Staff Speaks K The Statesman's news department really -pulled a surprise on its managing editor. National Newspaner Week gave rise to a se jries of three-column presentations of the news department's various divisions city desk, news desk, sports, home panorama, val ey and j farm. etc. But the one in Thursday's Statesman eomolimentary to Mn3in Fd itor Wendell Weh.b was ent'Tlv unihed u'ed. In fact, he almost cho'-ed on his second cun of coffee when he saw it. ! There has been no doubt as to how-The Statesman as a newsoaoer. and its maang editor, have felt about the news staff. In dividually and collectively it ranks with the best on: any newspaper .any where. Because of such stature, won in the staffs own right and by I its own efforts, Thursday's gesture was doublv appreciated, and such mutual re soect would seem to be one fnore indictvm to whv The Statesman ? rontm"es as the fastest frowinr newsosner in the Northwest. 1 a 'Editorial Comment FIAMSSIMO! The current piano boom is an interesting bit of Americana with some nostalgic overtones. The "boom" claim is that of the manufacturers and dealers who say their cash registers have not played auch pleasant tunes in 30 years. They expect sales. of 125,000 iastruments this year. The upright piano waltzed into its own some 40 or 50 years ago. When American industrial know-how made the piano an assembly line product, it became a popular instrument within ' the financial range of nearly every home. Later, phonographs and radio music cut in to make a family piano seem unnecessary to many. .But through, it all. millions of Americans found that nothing could takes the place of the spontaneity and fun of gathering around to sing while tome nimble-fingered friend made the piano talk. In- the interim pf television, of im proving school music programs, of a growing appreciation of good music, the piano has re climbed the scale of its popularity. For those with small houses or smaller apartments the piano has found new favor, visually as well as audibly; in sleek, handsome, compact form the spinet I We are not sure all . of this proves anything unless it shows that good things often move in and Merion blue grass has been a problem that Oregon State Col lege researchers now believe they have licked. A chemical that removes both weedy grasses and broadleaf weeds from perennial grass seed crops and lawns has passed the OSC research trials, and is sched uled soon for public release The chemical is a soil steri- lant and must be used with ex treme caution to avoid danger to desirable grasses, says Norman Goetze and William Furtick, agronomists making the study. The material will.be sold un der the trade name "Karmex DW". The researchers are warn ing against contusing it with Karmex W, another soil sterilant that will injure both grass crops , and lawns. Mixture Recommended Four pounds of Karmex DW per acre in 30 gallons of water is recommended for removing velvet grass a perennial from bentgrass, alta fescue and Merion bluegrass seed crops. It should be applied this month October and at the four-pound rate only after crops are at least one year old. .

Jurhee Zeller. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Zeller, 2755 Nola Ave., probably has lost the sight of the right eye, Mrs. Zel ler said she was told by the at tending physician at Salem Gen eral Hospital. City first aidmen answered a call about 3 p.m. but on finding the pupil of the eye injured they advised Mrs. Zeller to take the girl to a doctor. Blood Donors Go Over Goal The Marion County Red Cross went over the top in its hopes for 100 pints at the Bloodmo bile visit Thursday afternoon at the Salem Armory. A hundred and two donors were accepted. Helping with one of those two extra pints was (he Salem police department and municipal court. Wesley A. Hill, 1519 Hickory St, was! fined $3 for driving without an operator's license, fine sus pended if he would give a pint to the Red Cross. He elected to pay in blood. New "galloneers, having com pleted Thursday a gallon of do nations to the Bloodmobile bank, are John McLean, 585 N. Winter St., and Miss Freda Cherrington, 113 Leslie. Mrs. Elsie Holmes, 1230 Clearview Drive, donated for the ninth time. Donating for the 13th time were Miss Helen L.

Much French business and much of France's very economy depends upon the North African protector , ates and Algeria, which Paris says is part of metropolitan France. Therefore there is stubborn and powerful support in Paris for the firm-hand colonials. But there are many French inside and outside North Africa who favor even more farreaching reforms than those proposed by the Faure govern " ment. Among these French ere those who see only two alternatives significant home rule concessions or total loss of North Africa. Separation of North Africa from the French union would be a major disaster for France. It could lead to chaos inside metropolitan France herself. Yet in the midst of . the bitter quarreling over what is needed ? to pacify North Africa, time is rapidly running out and France's authority continues to slip in the pattern established in Indo china. The effects already are being felt elsewhere in the West France's troubles in Algeria are gradually weakening links that hold the chain of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization together. When the United Nations Assembly voted to discuss the Algerian ques tion, France walked out. And there was French bitterness against Greece, one of her NATO partners, and other pro-Western nations fcr their role in the Assembly vote. Thm nations which voted against discussing Algeria became the tar- the Geneva Foreign Ministers Con ference, France faces a crisis and all the uncertainty and insecurity that go with it. Such a development must certainly weaken the Western front at a critical time, in thl face pects. The Cominform radio, for example, is hailing the develop ments in North Africa and the United 'Nations as "the defeat of imperialism" and the beginning of a solid alignment of the Asian and African world on the side of the Communist bloc. That is too close to the truth for the West to shrug it off. Time Flies: From Th, Statesman File 1. What is "wrong with this sentence?
