Minister Warns Of
Post-War Dangers
Soma of tha eonvtrutlon one
hears in traveling these day ii
cause for ertou thought in one
way, cause (or alarm, commented
Or. Wesley Ooodson Nicholson in
a talk for the Kiwanis club Mon
day noon. Pastor of the First Con
glegatlonal church, ha returned
recent:) from a month's study and
stay in Colorado.
Three things ha mentioned spe
cifically aa things he heard dis
cussed In train and street conver
sation. One of these topics was tha
talk among people in general that
when this Is over we shall stay In
our own back yard, the same line
of thought that goes out from soma
leaders who apeak of apharea of
Influence, or a geographic block
working aa a unit agalnat other
geographic block and tha world,
Apparently such reasoning over
looks how tha world has shrunk,
how quickly we can get places,
how tha world has become one
world aa it never has before, Dr.
Nicholson laid.
' Secondly, the prejudices ex
pressed against certain races
. were another tuple often heard
discussed, he said. This racial
problem la a very aerloua one,
one we can not Ignore, he told
tha club. Such prejudices, if fol
lowed, take us along a road
where ultimately we all lose our
rights, tha speaker eald. ,
Thirdly, one can not help noting
how seldom mention Is made of

Dr. Ferguson Due
For Rotary Talk
Dr. John Calvin Ferguson, noted
authority on China, will be guest
speaker for the Rotary club
luncheon Tuesday noon at the
Usourn hotel. He will talk on
China. Dr. ferguson, listed In
Who's Who for many distinguished
achievements, is here on a special
commission for work at the Mur
ray Warner museum of Oriental
art at tha Univaraity of Oregon.
A former college president at
Nanking, Dr. Ferguson has served
several times in advisory capacity
to tha Chinese government and
In state department work, and
more recently has been more In
terested in literature and art
study. Ha also is known for his
leadership In Chinese relief,
religion, the speaker pointed out.
Yet the only force that has stood
out against Germany and in the
occupied countries haa been the
force of religion, and it will ba
church groups that will take a
lead In restoration at soon as
countries are, liberated, Dr. Nich
olson continued.
These are but three significant
phasea today, but If tha problems
ara not approached right and
handled carefully, one can wonder
if we are fighting for freedom
and liberty and rights for all, or
if we believe In tolerance and
understanding, It was said.
During the club business ses
sion, reports were given on tha
recent Pacific Northwest district
convention of Kiwanis clubs in
Eugene.

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.

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 .

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

state GOP central committee
which re-elected all old officers
Saturday.
Neil R. Allen, Grants Pass,
chairman; Kenneth Nielsen, Eu

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

Everett M. Dlrksen, Illinois

urday night republican rally that
the U. S. senate' refusal to ratify

Nervous Soldier Falls
For Glider Pilot's Gag
BY GEORGE SILK
Representing Combined U. S.
Press Distributed by United
Pres.
WITH THE SOUTH FRANCE
INVADERS, Aug. 15 (Delayed)
(U.R The glider pilot fastened hi
flak-suit, then turned to a Brit
ish soldier and said:
"Hey, Limey, hop out quick
and check that left motor before
we take off."
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.
When we were air-borne, we
made up the longest combat sky
train in history. 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. The only
action we could see along the
coast was two cruiser leisurely
bombarding a hillside.
