BUILD WINTER SPORTS HERE If the Weather Man will kindly cooperate and send a bountiful crop of snow to the Cascades in the next few weeks, and if all of the winter sports enthusiasts in Eugene will start using and "talking up" the facilities available on the Santiam road at Hoodoo Bowl and adjacent to the Willamette road, undeveloped though they may be; if all con cerned will start making the best of what we have now and for the future, the grief for the closing of the McKenzie to Hand lake will pass. For the present the Hoodoo playground will be best for those who are fairly advanced in skiing and other snow sports, but others will be able to get plenty of healthy fun in the Willamette area. For the future there should be carefully selected committees to work with National Forest and highway officials for: 1. Improvement of the suggested ski bowl north of the Willamette summit, as suggested by forest officials. 2. Investigation of the big snowfields on the north slope of .Diamond Peak which some say could become one of the finest winter sports grounds in the country. 3. Work for the clearance and construction of a suitable road to Diamond Peak if that area seems good. If it is practical to go to all the expense and trouble of opening the Diamond Peak area, why is it not practical to keep the ex isting McKenzie highway open to Hand lake? The answer is that the Willamette high way is an all-year road and the McKenzie is not, nor likely to become such for many years. There is a rotary plow and crew on station at the summit of the Willamette, and there is no such plow or equipment avail able for the McKenzie, nor does weekend traffic on the upper McKenzie warrant that investment or maintenance. Even if it is necessary' to construct six or seven miles of new road to Diamond peak, that is still the cheapest answer because there are snow crews regularly on that station and all-year traffic to warrant. The highway department has to consider the whole state, a system of 7,500 miles of road. If they pulled snow crews off of main highways for weekend routes they could not live with the protest. After all, how many cities in the country, or even in the Northwest, are as well situated for winter sports as Eugene, even if we do have to travel to Hoodoo Bowl for the time being and do a lot of work to develop the Diamond Peak area? Give us snow in the Cascades this winter and there will be a parade to the mountains. This should be the biggest winter sports season in Eugene history if we stop com plaining and get to work. BRITISH DRIVE IN NORTH AFRICA The hopes of all of us go with the British Empire divisions in their efforts to drive the Axis powers out of North Africa. This cam paign, if successful, may not win the war, but it will relieve the pressure on the embat tled Russians and it will restore to the British control of the Mediterranean, and it may help to undermine Axis morale and resist ance. Strategically, the biggest advantage of this North African campaign may be in re storing importance to the naval phases of the war. We note that Herbert Hoover in his mosj; recent speech opposed the suggestion that we should send an AEF to the other side of the world to help our allies, and he justified his position by stating that our part in this fray should be confined to naval war. Unfortunately Mr. Hoover is not a mili tary man, and like most of us his ideas are influenced by his hopes and his prejudices. If the Germans conquer Russia we may find that naval blockades and air raids on the tontinent of Europe are not enough to break the German hold on the mainland. Writing for the isolationist Saturday Eve ning Post, Demaree Bess, just returned from four years of travel and reporting on both sides of the battle lines, declares that if we really want to crush Hitler and win this war we must face the ultimate necessity of send ing American soldiers to fight with the Brit ish in North Africa and in the vicinity of Suez. Otherwise he predicts stalemate, and a peace of exhaustion which may be only the prelude to the final war. He points out that the Germans are fortifying all of the European mainland, making ready to with stand long siege, and that there is little hope from the sporadic uprisings of nations under the German yoke. The observations and opinions of Mr. Bes confirm the views of many American mili tary men who base their opinions on profes sional experience and on the confidential re ports which they get from Europe. We have talked with many high ranking officers, found only a few optimistic that this war can be won until or unless we make up our minds to assume our share of ATTACK. The British offensive in North Africa comes at a good time. But technically it is still part of the strategy of defense and counter-attack. It is not pleasant to "throw cold water." The war is not lost. Our position is far better than it was a year ago. But we have adopted this war. The responsibilities we have assumed have no limits. There is no turning back. We need to control wishful thinking and be governed by unpleasant facts. WHAT OTHER EDITORS THINK THE POINT OF THE CAPTIVE MINE ISSUE (The Grants Pass Courier) Practically all of the miners employed in the "captive" coal mines whose fate is before the bar of justice of the American people at this moment are already CIO union men. "Captive" coal mines are those owned by the big steel companies to supply the coal for the pro duction of steel. The steel is the greatest of vital defense needs now, going into armor plate, guns, tanks and all of the implements of the war we are fighting before we are prepared to fight No delay whatever can be tolerated in the out put of this steel, and the safety of America and all the other nations fighting the Axis surely depends upon it. Yet Mr. Lewis CIO bosses give every evidence of shutting down the captive mines,' and with them Amerioan steel production, and for what? To get a closed union shop in the captive mines. To get a closed, union shop in the mines which are already virtually 100 per cent union operated. No change in the wages, hours, or conditions of labor for the men is involved. What is the tremendous advantage to be gained, if not by the men then by Mr. Lewis and the CIO bosses, in the strike threat? What advantage worthy of destroying America's steel production for war? The advantage that, under the union shop, the union workers are then the captives of Mr. Lewis! And the farther, more important advantage, that if Mr. Lewis can capture the captive mine workers in a union shop, he can extend the union shop to steel itself, and his domination to all of American industry. It's a big stake, from the point of view of Mr. Lewis. Big enough to justify placing American national safety in jeopardy, he thinks. And from the point of view of America itself, the question is whether protecting the men from the Ufe-and-death control over their employment that comes when they must be fired from their union shop jobs if they ever disobey their union bosses' orders, and protecting war industry from the farther spread of this union bossisni, is enough justification for putting up the fight against Lewis that may halt our war-steel production. WASHINGTON LETTER By JOHN W. KELLY WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 21. To protect the Pacific northwest the war and navy departments are on the road to spend $300,000,000 in Alaska. Thou sands of troops, scores of bomber planes, weather stations, teletypes to relay information and radio stations are being assembled. Every steamer leav ing Puget sound for the north has a deckload of the common or garden variety of trailer, to be used for housing the army of skilled and common labor ers. Cheapest meal for a civilian is in excess of $1. Wages are higher than they were in the gold rush days of the Klondike, reports a federal officer just back from the territory where, says he, there are only two hotels worthy of the name. Navy has established a listening post on Kiska island, longitude 180, on Bering sea in a wireless station which' reports on storms sweeping down from the Arctic. It is the most westerly post of the navy. From this post are sent weather reports to the navy and army flying fields on other islands (Dutch Harbor, Kodiak) and to the mainland. Mil lions of dollars are being poured into these Alaskan defenses in cantonments, flying fields and the hun dred other items Involved. Originally intended as protection from the So viet, they are being continued as a guard against Japan. Most important arm is the air service, but owing to fog conditions flying is impossible much of the time; but the fogs which ground American airplanes would also' prevent enemy planes from attacking. Army officers are dissatisfied with their assignment and take a bomber for the bright lights whenever possible: the bright lights of Juneau. Prediction is made that when the emergency is over the great cantonments and air fields will be aban doned, leaving only a maintenance crew. Desire of the United States to aid Britain has extended into Alaska. The men who catch the salmon had the best season in years, many making three times as much as ever before, and they have been spending their hard-earned wages riotously. Government wants the canned salmon for the Brit ish. This is one year there has been no competition from the Japanese, infringing with their floating canneries. Since October 24 there has been no treaty with Japan over the Pribiloff islands, the famous mating place for the seals. Japan abrogated the treaty as one of its retaliatory measures toward the United States and, incidentally, cut off its nose to spite its face, for Japan's share of the profits from seal skin has been considerable. Canada, however, stands by the treaty (Canada's cut in the skins is 15 per cent), and Russia, party to the treaty, re mains in the pact although Russia receives no per centage. The seal herd is now estimated at 2,000. 000 and 96,000 skins were taken last September. With the abrogation by Japan in October that coun try this year will receive its last share of the prof its. Estimated value of the skins this year is $4, 000,000 and Japan's share will be about $600,000. Uncle Sam will clean up $2,000,000. These Pribiloff seals, which caused trouble be tween the United States and Japan prior to the treaty, will not be disturbed during the unpleasant ness, for the Japanese foreign office has sent a com munique to Secretary of State Cordell Hull saying it will keep its nationals away from the islands. However, in "getting even" Japan is giving up about 1,200,000 yen a year, and yens are scarce in Japan. By July 1, next, Administrator Raver advised the appropriations committee of the house, he ex pects to be disposing of 35,000 kilowatts to a mag nesium industry at Spokane. Magnesium is now so scarce that OPM has issued orders for an im mediate collection of scraps. In November. 1942, Dr. Raver said he will be delivering 15,000 kilo watts to the Bellingham iron works (contract pend ing), and in December, 1942. a service of 2,000 kilowatts to Olympic Mines, Tacoma (contract also pending). Next January he hopes to be selling 2,500 kilowatts to Yakima. There is a contract pending for 10.000 kilo watts for the army cantonment at Corvallis, where plans have been prepared and all is set to go when congress provides about $15,000,000. The admin istrator plans disposing of 30,000 kilowatts to "an Oregon fabricating plant" in September, 1942, which would indicate that Oregon has won this In dustry away from Washington competitors. . Secretary Ickes is feeling around to see If he can take Diamond lake from the forest service and include it in Crater lake national park. Opposition has started already, for It is suspected he wants to do as he did on the Olympic peninsula and with draw acres of timber and gradually reduce the national forests and expand the area of national Barks.

The Golden Text was, "Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay my vows unto me most Mien: and call upon me in the dav of trouhle- I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me" (Ps. 50: 14,15). Among the citations which com prised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "O give thanks unto the Lord, for he Is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. whom he hath re deemed from the hand of the en emy. Oh that man would praise tne Lord lor nis goodness, and for his wonderful works to the chil dren of men!" (Ps. 107:1,2.8). The Lesson-Sermon also includ ed the following correlative pas sages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Millions of unprejudiced minds simple seek ers for Truth, weary wanderers. athirst In the desert are waiting and watcning lor rest and drink.
