It is a heavy price that all of us must pay for the privilege of throwing government publications, publicity, propaganda and what-not into the waste basket but so it goes. If only our words had been heeded government em ployees would have been released for war service, the mails would have had no such burden to bear as has been the case, waste baskets would have been left empty and paper saved. Now, to add insult to injury, following the order to cut paper use comes more publicity junk from the food distribu tion administration of the department of agriculture 14 pages of it with propaganda for the use of beans- The bean grower wants free advertising and the food administration wants it given to him. Wonder how far we would get if we asked for free beans or urged that consumption be cut? Nowhere, of course. Even though our request was approved we would still want to fight the government waste of paper and shall do so. V. D. REPORTING Though communicable disease in general in Oregon de creased in 1942, it is noted in the latest issue of the bulletin of the state board of health, gains were noted for the two common venereal diseases, syphilis and gonorrhea. State Health Officer Strieker says that these higher totals were probably due to better reporting rather than higher incidence rates. Still pounding on our thesis that until there is full and complete reporting sound measures for control will be lacking, we point out that in this same bulletin, in the communicable disease report for the week ending January 10, it appears that in only seven counties did 100 percent of the physicians make reports. No reports what ever were made by the physicians of five counties, one of these being Multnomah. Better reporting, so that the extent of the problem may be understood, is an essential in the fight against venereal disease. What is being done to insure better reporting?

Cynthia, now, was : in something light and airy and pale green, and she was in the housekeeper's office, nodding her approval of lists and menus.

There were very many small white tables upon the lawn, and small white chairs, and the usual little groups began to form. The lights went on in tht? library. Its glazed doors were swung open, and Colonel Merri wether was behind his desk, smoking, and looking quietly out over the empty terrace, the popu lated green turf. Waiters in white coats moved among the tables with trays of drinks, and the orchestra played out an indolent air of summer time, r Time wandered by, and time was of no moment. A few of the older people went into the library, crossing the empty terrace from the lawn to go toward colonel Memwether. But none remained long.

The mu sic had ended, and this sound struck sharply against the quiet. It was of the order of a com mand, a short, undistinguishable word barked out.

He was then, a few minutes it seemed staring, not at Vaughan Dunbar, like a lifetime to get a car start but straight ahead into the faces ert. and turned around to follow of his guests, half a hundred yards away. Vaughan Dunbar held up a sheet of paper in his left hann. ' Then. he laid it calmly on the desk before the colonel, who did not move. Vaughan Dunbar gazed for an instant down at the face and head of Wesley Hope Merriweth er. He lifted his right hand, and with the small pistol that it held' fired two shots. ' Even as Colonel Merriwether. slumped forward over his desk, ' Vaughan Dunbar was gone. In the madness of screams and shouts, men cried, "Stop him! Grab him!"

The pursuers cried out to each other, and then they turned back toward the house and the telephones. Within half an hour, all but a very few of the guests were gone, teletype machines, throughout the metropolitan district. e e e With this much done. Lieuten ant Thatcher spoke quietly with Mitchell Grace, saying, 'Tell me everything you know." Mitchell Grace told, then, of Vaughan Dunbar's first appear ance at Stone House, and of his subsequent appearances there. Also he told of those last few shocking moments. "I was walking Into the library to see if the colonel wanted any thing, and Vaughan Dunbar was' standing in the shadow. I got there Just In time to hear him speak to Joseph, the colonel's servant, and ask him to go and fetch a glass of fruit juice. He had not seen me at that moment. "Joseph went out of the room, and Vaughan Dunbar heard my footstep. He turned toward me and said, 'Good evening. Will you please ask Miss Cynthia to meet me at once in the drawing room? It Is important.' He seemed very quiet and serious, and I went without thinking much about it. I had Just found her, when he called out, and I saw him stand- ing over the colonel. "What did Colonel Merriwether seem to think of that?" "I glanced at him. He seemed brought some bad news. "Where were you when you heard the shooting?"

Q UAY ON St KAP HKSTION Jan. l'J-13 To the Editor: I have just finished reading Mr. Arthur Van De Zande's letter in tiiis evenings Bulletia I agree with Mr. Van De Zande, and the others who have his same view, point. However since prices on certain types of scrap material are established by the O.l'.A. and at the same time the steel mills and the brokers here on the coast j reiuj? to tune anyining out ino. z Heavy meiiing scrap mere is notrt ing for me to do except to dispose of some types of articles the best way I see fit. I have in my possession a letter Just received from Bethlehem Steel of Seattle. They have such an accumulation of steel scrap at their Seattle plant that they are out of the market for an indefi nite period. The car I am at present pre par Ing for shipment goes to South San Krancisco, I have a contract for a carload of No. 2 heavy nwlt Ing steel which Is all that will lie accepted at the present time. The price for this established by the O.RA. Is $13.00 per gross ton 1 22-10 lbs.) However if one bed spring or hollow type bed stead Is included in the shipment then I receive only S7.00 per gross ton which is less than 1 originally paid for the scrap. Furthermore the mills would have the privilege of rejecting the car of scrap entirely. I have been pulling and dragging beds and springs out of the pile of scrap on Bond street until that is all 1 see w hen I close my eyes at night. To me they represent almost u total loss. It will cost me more to pre pare them for shipment than I can ever hope to get out of them. I will probably have to sell them to some one who is in a position to hold them Indefinitely or until the mills will accept them as un prepared scrap. Of . the dozens of discarded beds In the scrap heap I huve found four that to me had a little cash value. I felt that if someone could get some use out of them It would be better than leave them lying around idle. When the mills run out of scrap and there Is no more metal to be had, thn I believe we will all h" asked to give up our beds and sleep- on the floor. But so far f haven't heard such an appeal be ing made to the public. If the public feels that I am going to get rich by selling a few beds, I take this opportunity to tell them that I will gladly ex change ail the beds and springs at the scrap pile for an equal amount of scrap that I can dispose of at FRIENDS It stopped om 4 AND 16 i THE KEEPER OP THE SCROLL WILL PASS SEMTENCE I 25 SELECTED PATTERNS One of Oregon's Largest Stocks of Fine BroadSoorn Twenty five hand-soleetod ell-wool patterns of broad cloth carpeting.
