More Than- (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) ernment control, and as soon aa this control is relaxed, there will be a large demand for lumber on tha part of the construction In dustry. No retooling or reconver sion by the mills will be necessary, which mean no interruption in employment in tha county' prin cipal Industry. In the 1940 census T per cent of tha nonagrlcultural laborer in Lane county were engaged in con struction. Assuming that this same "normal" proportion holds also for tha approximately 21,368 post war nonagrlcultural worker es timated on the basis of the sur vey, It may be expected, write Ballalne, that a $3,000,000 stock pile of deferred maintenance and new construction by private In dustry will provide a substantial volume of postwar Jobs, In ad dition to the normal construction employment included In the 21, 366 figure. He conclude that market condition, wage levels, and ability to secure materials will be important determinant of the rapidity with which this work will be undertaken and, hence, the number of Jobs available at any one time.

Mrs. MeBee Named Rodman then named Mrs. nic Bea, but was unable to contact her to Inform her of the appointment before ha left for Portland. By tha time the appointment was completed, it was too late to have the committeewoman at the Port land gathering. So it is all straightened out ac cording to proper procedure, ex cept that Rodman received some good-natured kidding from other Lane county republican going to Portland who commented on the "double doae" of feminine "scrap- ping." Not only did Una county . nave lie uiiie suuauu". u. Portland the only excitement for an otherwise routine tat com mittee session burdened with re port and mora report and talk and more talk wa tha "tempest" over the election of a tate vice chairman (who had to ba a wom an). Lane county' delegation could not help but notice, however, that tha ruling agalnat appointive offi cer being In political organization positions does not seem to b en forced too strictly, because sev eral accredited voting state com mitteemen and state committee woman at the state session are county, city or state employe. Anyway, It i ironed out here and ao It' down to business now. All I Lovely Peace and harmony for victory for all republican candidates in November was the theme song for the state session, and that thought, along with pushing the "30001 clubs" for the Dewey-Brlcker ticket (Dewey received 90,001 write-In votes In Oregon' pri mary), and formation of republi can club for veteran as a new affiliate of the republican party in tha state, where all a part of the program advanced by the state committee and party officials Sat urday. The "feminine war," billed in advance talk to be a lively acrap, turned out to be very mild. True, both Mr. Y. Richardson, incum bent, and Mrs. Frederick W. Young were nominated with flourish for the vice-chairmanship, but before tha ballots were counted some one called for a motion to have no "demonstra tion" for the winner. Mrs. Rich ardson won, 40 to 21 votes, and im mediately Lowell Paget, Portland, who had been one of those work ing in behalf of Mrs. Young, moved to have the vote unani mous. Men Annoyed The men appeared to be a bit annoyed by the women's row, al though there were more men openly working in behalf of the two candidates than there were women Multnomah county cen tral committee had endorsed Mrs. Young. The up-staters with that old feeling tiiey were not going to be told by Portland, nor be forced into Multnomah's family quarrel, stuck with Mrs. Richardson even though some of the staunchest supporters granted there would have to be more definite coaching on tne rule that the central com mittee officers remain neutral in a primary election (one gripe be ing the reported support given by the vice-chairman in the last prim ary to some candidates and the alleged talking down on the quali fications of other candidates). Anyway, It's supposed to be all peace and harmony now, and just as the power that ba wanted it including re-election for all In cumbent officers, Niel R. Allen of Grants Pass as chairman, Mrs. Richardson of Portland as vice chairman, Kenneth Nielsen of Eu gene for secretary, Howard M. Wall of Portland as treasurer. PORTLAND, Aug! 2t. OP) Republican war veterans clubs will be organized throughout Ore gon. This was announced by the state GOP central committee which re-elected all old officers Saturday. Neil R. Allen, Grants Pass, chairman; Kenneth Nielsen, Eu gene, secretary, and Howard Wall, Portland, treasurer, were elected without opposition. The committee also voted to recommend to the state legislature that ita membership be enlarged to Include all county chairmen and vice-chairmen. Everett M. Dlrksen, Illinois congressman, declared at a Sat urday night republican rally that the U. S. senate' refusal to ratify the secretly-negotiated Versailles treaty is a warning against a "one man peace" after this war. He asserted that the Versailles negotiations and President Roose velt's conferences with Churchill and Stalin parallel. JAP BAN I'RGED PORTLAND. Ore.. Aug. 21. M.P. State grange master from Oregon.

The soldier, as nervous a the rest of us, hopped out, turned around twice, and then sheepish ly climbed aboard again. He had forgotten that gliders have no engines. We all laughed. Then tha pilot commented that there were only three things for us to sweat out water, the ack-ack fire of the enemy, and the landing. "And now quit worrying," he (aid.

We had to circle about for an hour before landing to permit the early morning haze on our trip the hop over the to lift from southern France. One glider in our formation ihed a wing and plunged toward the ocean. As we approached tha ground, the British soldier said quite cheerfully: "Now for the ack-ack, ehum we ain't like sitting duck, we quack!" But no ack-ack came.
