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.

Christian Science
"Thanksgiving" was the subleet
of the Lesson-Sermon in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Thanksgiving Day.
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.
Give them a cup of cold water in
