V; JUST AN IRRESISTIBLE IMPULSE
Some weeks back we were "chastised"
by the venerable Oregonian for venturing
to quib about the roses which Eugene sup
plied for the "City of Roses" in the first air
shipment of produce of this region to New
York city. Now we shall risk the rebuke
of our editorial brethren at the beautiful
city of Salem (especially Charley Spraue)
by quoting a few lines we find in Bernard
DeVoto's admirable book, "The Year of De
cision 1846": ,
"In 46 the southernmost house in the Wil
lamette valley was near the site of the present
city of Eugene. Passing down the valley from
there, one came to a kind of settlement, of
which Lieutenant Howison, of the U.S. schooner
Shark, reported this year that 'too little ex-
' ists to be worthy an attempt at description'.
This was Salem, the real estate development
1 which the Methodist missionaries had by now
, substituted for their venture in saving Indian
, souls."
' This quote is irresistible since it is only
a few years since Salem had its Centennial
Pageant, and in asking Eugene to postpone
its normal pageant date, a distinguished
lady of Salem wrote to this effect:
"We do not intend to have noisy displays
of soldiers and cowboys and Indians and such
shows to please the populace, because Salem
from the beginning was a city of culture and
deep spiritual -purpose, etc. . . ."
The Salem request was granted by the
'directors of our pageant, of course, but not
before some of the local talent had given
Governor Sprague some moments of ex
plaining "Salem's cultural aspects."
All good clean fun and no lasting dam
age! Towns are much like people. Each
town has its background, and none of us
can ever claim that a family tree .is without
a few gnarled limbs or that the finest city
has grown without imperfections. What we
do now is almost more important than the
past.
In 1946 Lane county will be 100 years old
and in 1947 it will be 100 years since -Eugene
Skinner (also with and eye to real estate)
staked out Eugene City. It is time for us
to be thinking of our next pageant, and this
DeVoto book, in spite of Its somewhat flip
pant comment on some parts of that period,
is a storehouse of suggestions.
DeVoto's description of the hardships of
the trail is one of the most vivid bits of
writing we ever have encountered, and it
moves us to the thought that perhaps our
presentation of "the trail" should contain
more of this realism. Anyhow, it is time to
begin planning. Goodwin Thacher, author
of our script, is already planning, but he
can't make ready alone.
We have had a memorable 100 years, and
an inspiring century of opportunity lies
ahead. (And we shall doubtless find some
profit in Friend Sprague's suggestions).
MATTER OF HOME TOWN PRIDE
Right encouraging is that story of how
the people of the little town of Berlin, Ore
gon, over in Linn county have refused to
let their town's name be changed to suit the
patriotic (and publicity) whims of sorne "big
shots." It is encouraging for two reasons:
Apparently the American people have not
been swept into the futile rage of the last war
when it seemed patriotic to ban everything
German, including even the beloved ham
burger which went disguised as "Salisbury
steak."
American citizens still have that strong
feeling for local self-government which is
foundational in our democracy no taxation
without representation, and no naming of
names by remote control.
It was a bright idea which inspired Carl
Curlee. the enterprising secretary of the
Albany Chamber of Commerce, and Max
well Anderson, the famous New York play
wright. Find some little place with a Ger
man name and change it to commemorate
the martyred Greek city of Distomo. Over
in Illinois, some little town did it, changed
its r.ame to Lidice, in honor of the heroic
Czech village which was destroyed by the
vengeful Nazis.
Only trouble was they neglected to con
sult the people who lived there. The people
of Berlin were net pleased! They pointed
to the fact that their town got its name from
the slurring of the pioneer designation of
Barrell's Inn, and with all due respect to
the heroic Greeks they preferred to remain
plain American.
' Thes are time when the validity of local
self government is challenged in high places.
Not long ago a bright young man returned
from a large eastern university to say:
The beit thought of experts in govern
mr;t c;i for a complete reorganization of
American political and social structures. Stales
are ua t atxiliihed and regrouped by regions
irprrtltit to various metropolitan centers
which In turn will report to Washington. . . ."
You can see the design shaping in' the
variou "valley authority" schemes. States,
counties, cities in this country have not been
tonspicuotuly efficient, at times (but neith
er has federal authority). And reformers
are going to find that despite all their faults,
each community has had its history and its
reason for being. In the Northwest we tend
to come together by voluntary action on
regional matters, but we do not like to be
told, and it is a good thing.
Old Walt Whitman wrote about "the
great city":
"Where outside authority enters only after
the precedence of local authority.
"Where presidents, governors, mayors and
whatnot are merely servants for pay. . . ."
We applaud the instinctive resistance of
the citizens of Berlin, Orgon, even to a
change of name.
WASHINGTON LETTER
By PETER EDSON
Register-Guard Washington Correspondent
HEAT'S OX "POLITICAL" CLUBS
IF you haven't yet joined the Girls Who
Save Nickels to Elect a Republican President Club,
105 West Adams St., Chicago, for. gosh sakes get
busy and join up.
Or, if that doesn't appeal to you, send in an
application for membership in Elect Roosevelt for
Life, 307 South Burlington Ave., Los Angeles 5,
Calif.
If you still insit on being snooty, how's about
selling you a membership In I Love America, Inc.,
287 Broadway, N. Y.?
These are just three of the 168 allegedly
political organizations which the Senate Special
Committee to Investigate Campaign Expenditures
in 1944 has started out to check up on, and high
time. To each of the 168 organizations there will
undoubtedly be 168 more the Senate Committee
ehairmanned by Theodore Francis Green of Rhode
Island has sent a five-page questionnaire, want
ing to know all about founders, offices, members,
dues, other financial backing and subsidy publi
cations, activities, who is being supported and
why. Answers are requested within 10 days, and
the committee will report its findings on the first
day of the next session of Congress, right after
election probably with some recommendations
for new legislation on all this nonsense.
Clubs, Societies, Federations
. RUNNING down this year's list of crackpot
political organizations making up the lunatic
fringe is enlightening as to how the great game
of American politics is played.
A fellow by the name of Herbert Brownell
who, if memory serves aright, is chairman of the
Republican National Committee and Candidate
Thomas Dewey's campaign manager, seems to be
the head man for five of these parasite organiza
tions: First Voters' League, Inc., Friends of Fin
land fqr Dewey, the Young Republican Clubs, the
Young Republican National Federation, and the
National Republican Builders.
Not to be left completely out of the running
as a great organizer, Mr. Robert Hannegan, In ad
dition to being chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Committee and campaign manager for
Roosevelt, Is listed as head of the Independent
Voters for Roosevelt.
And boy, how this word "independent" takes
a beating in the names of these political marching
clubs. There are the Independent Citizens Com
mittee for Roosevelt and Truman, the Independent
Committee to Support Norman Thomas, the Inde
pendent Committee of the Arts. Sciences and Pro
fessions, and the Independent Voters Protest Com
mittee. None of them Is probably much more in
dependent than a concubine In Haroun Al Ras
chld's harem but then, the organizers probably
think it's fun to kid themselves, if nobody else.
A lot of these outfits may turn out to be not
political at all, but this whole manifestation of
spurious political organizing can be compared
to what happened when they started to clean up
college football by driving out the professional
ringers and putting an end to awarding scholar
ships to promising athletes for picking up towels
in the gymnasium. The coaches and graduate
managers with the best eligibility rule evaders
usually turned out the best teams and won the
ball games.
Doctrine Peddlers Busy
THE same sort of thing seems to be happening
In politics. In the great desire to keep politics
clean, a deal of corrupt practice legislation is ap
pearing on the books. Big money contributions
to political partiess are now outlawed so that cer
tain rich men can no longer finance or boss Amer
ican political parties. The game is now to beat
these restrictions and smart people with a bill of
political goods to sell are finding ways to peddle
their doctrines through concealed purpose organ
izations which black market their ideas.
Congressional activity In investigating the lun
atic fringe organizations is merely an effort to
learn what's going on and why some of these or
ganizations haven't filed reports on political activ
ities as required by law.
The tendency is probably towards a great deal
more legislation aimed to prevent political cor
ruption. The danger "will come if too much restrictive
legislation will tend to drive more political activ
ity underground, to evade the laws.
OLIVE BARBER'S OBSERVATIONS
Tire HERO. NOW AND YESTERDAY
According to the last word reaching us the 22-year-old
lieutenant has just completed his ninth
bombing mission over Europe. The citation ac
companying the award read in part, "The courage,
coolness and skill displayed by this officer upon
these occasions reflect great merit upon him
self . . ."
I've known this lad all his life and for a time
he lived with us. Even at the age of six he had
courage aplenty and his skill at getting into
trouble often left me a shattered woman by night
fall. His coolness, however, is something" he ac
quired of late years. He certainly wasn't cool the
time he crawled under the bed when in the first
gride and declared his resolve to pursue the paths
of learning no longer.
When recoverted to the idea of going on with
his education, he was as Intensive In his efforts
to learn as before he had been not to. At the
time a contest was being conducted In his room,
those not so good being cla.ed as butterflies!
thoe very good as fairies. There was nothing
cool In his attempt to get out of the butterfly
class into the realm of fairies. That fall I was
teaching beginners in a distant town. After a
day's struggle with the butterflv brains of my
own primaries. I was in no mood to come home
at night and start all over again with another six
year old who aspired to find the fairies. But such
was his insistence that I had Jo and when the
end 5 finally accomplished, when he finally
got Into fairyland, then indeed the potential lieu
tenant was Itasl cool of all. He capered and mnde
loud nd varied sounds of unrcpressed glee. He
played tricks on all of us and for at least a week
thereafter was completely out of hand.
Social In the extreme, he would invite a flock
of his contemporaries In after school. Bv the time
I arrived home the place was a shambles and the
cupboard bare. Once they ate a whole box of
apples the groceryman had delivered during the
day. Mothers all over the neighborhood exclaimed
over their children's lethargy toward supper that
night.
Well the wings h wears now are silver and
tha fruit hi deals out is not apples to friends but
bombs to enemies. If he hides, it Is not under a
bed but uniier a blanket of clouds. May God keep
him safe and bring him back to us!

Science can kelp give
most women a younger

Seems too good to be true, doesn't it. But it's a fact. Setae
through ENDOCREME, can, for most women, help
improve the skin itself, not merely its superficial
appearance. For thousands ENDOCREME , . . with its
7-year record of success ... is getting results hitherto thoui
impossible. This is because it contains ACTIVOL. This grttt
scientific discovery, ACTIVOL is the laboratory counterpart
of a natural, skin-vitalizing substance that, in most women,
. decreases with age. ENDOCREME helps compensate fb
this loss. Absorbed beneath the skin's surface, it works to
build cells, firm tissue. Thus, most skins tend to take on
new youthfulness, to become fresher, firmer, smoother,
more alluringly beautiful again. Isn't this the best way yo
can invest your cosmetic dollars? Many report vast
improvement in only 30 days.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
"The war sure has made a lot of changes in
this old world of ours, hasn't it, Judge?"
"Plenty of them, John. One that few
people realize is that the rubber producing
center of the world it now right here in the
United States.
" When the Japs conquered the big natural
rubber producing centers of the world they
thought they had us licked. But in two
short years, thanks to American industry,
we are now producing synthetic rubber
enough to supply all our military and
essential civilian needs.
"Our rubber experts knew now to mak
it but the problem was to get the hugs
amounts of indusUrial alcohol needed. Al
most overnight the country's beverage dis
tillers stopped making whiskey and converted
100rc to the production of this viul in
gredient. A high government official said
recently this was '...an almost unparalleled
example ot the overnight conversion of W
entire industry from peace to war.'"
"Come to think of It, Judge, it
mighty fortunate thing the beverage dist
ling Industry was in existence, wasn't it-
