Thus, we find in the record of the November meetings news of ' various highway matters of interest in this section but not : hitherto reported; One of the most interesting of these is the announcement that the war department is now preparing plans and specifi cations for the construction of the new road between Niagara and Detroit which will be made necessary By the building of the high dam on the North Santiam. The road project, it is explained, is planned for immediate post-war' construction. In view of that prospect the highway Commission has voted to proceed with the short state section between Niagara and Gates as soon as the army engineers begin on the federal section. That is news and will interest Salem and the States ' man as well as Centra! Oregon. Another matter of interest was the approval of a list of survey projects contemplated for construction in the post-war program. No commitment as to construction was made but on the other, hand, none of the surveys involves work not con templated for immediate undertaking when the war is' over. Included in the list are the following: County ' Highway Section and Length Jefferson 4 WascoWarm Springs Forest B'ndary-Warm Springs . Agency (24.9 ml.) Jefferson...- TheDalles-Cal!f.....Madras-Crooked R. (18.7 ml.) Crook & Jefferson..Madras-Prineville. Madras Prinevllle (30.1 ml.) Deschutes Oine Falls...- Cllne Falls-Tumalo (10.1 ml.) Klamath .....;..TheDalleCallf...Jk!odoc Point-Algoma (10.3 mi.. Here are projects of great importance to this community and though no construction commitments are made it is a hopeful sign to find them on the list. The North Santiam construction is, of course, presented as certain. As to the others it is to be rioted that surveys riiUst precede construc tion and that the construction program will presumably be made up from the surveyed projects. Shi Hmtnfrfc Bm ; nr.

Instead all such information wijU be given out at the earliest possible moment for immediate publication and broadcast. J '. ' ' . Here, at last, is a common sense plan for the treatment of the news; Now and again one newspaper or another will be "scooped" depending on its press time but the general effect will be to get the news out to the people more speedily than has been the case and that is the desirable thing. . On several occasions important news has been received over the press wires for release at 4 :30 p. m. More than once this neWs has come In over 24 hours before the release time. , Whether, under the president's new order this news would have been available at an earlier hour we may not know. We do expect, however, better maangement of news releases hereafter than has been the case in the past. ' "'. UNFAIR TO OFFICERS According fo reports from Washington, various promo . Uons affecting U. S. generals in active service are being held up until the public reaction regarding Gen. Patton and his striking of the soldier boy has been more dearly determined. For Gen. Patton's name Is on the list and the powers-that-be don't wish to run the risk of Incurring disfavor by giving the principal In th North African "incident" a raise in rank, when the American people would like to see him punished . by demotion II nothing worse. ; (Medford Mall-Tribune) We agree with the Medford paper that the people do not like the idea of a promotion for Patton in the face of his demonstrated lack of self control. On the other hand, it is quite unfair to the other officers on the promotion list with him to hold up their deserved advancement while his case is being considered. ,- CHAPTER XIV i Night was still heavy In the sky. The chemist's room was Indis tinct and murky, by the light of the .expiring lamp; a ghostly si lence had succeeded to the knock ing and" the voice outside; noth ing was .audible but, now and then, a low sound among ( the whitened ashes of the fire, as of its yielding up its last breath. Be fore it on the ground the boy lay fast asleep. In his chair, tne chemist sat, as he had sat there since the calling at his door naa ceased like a man turned to stone. Bevond the bov. so that his steering ficure lay at his feet. the Phantom stood Immovable and silent. Was the form that stood beside it indeed Milly's? The quiet head was bent a little, as her manner in his hardened breast. All with in this desolate creature is bar ren wilderness. All within the man bereft of what you have resigned, is the same barren wil derness. Woe to such a man!" The chemist clasped his hands. and looked, with trembling fear and pity, from the sleeping boyi to the Phantom, standing above him with its finger pointing down. Behold, I say," pursued the Specter, "the perfect type of what it was your choice to be. Your Influence is powerless here, Be cause from this child's bosom you can banish nothing.

SPREADING IT THIN (Eugene Register-Guard) Now the supreme court rules that It is proper for a union to attempt, by picketing with "Un fair" signs, to ruin a business which has no employes except Its proprietors. Mr. Justice Frank furter feels that' it is quite fair for the union to pin the oppro brious adjective "fascist" upon men who decline to Join a union for the privilege of working In their own little cafeteria.

"To destroy her peace, her good ness; to make her what I am myself, and what I have made of others!" "I have said 'seek her out,"' returned the Phantom. "I have said no more." "Oh. tell me." exclaimed Red- laW, catching at the hope which he fancied might lie hidden in the words. "Can I undo what I have done?" "No. returned the phantom. "I do not ask for restoration to mvself." said Redlaw. "What I abandoned, I abandoned of my own free will, and have justly lost. But for those to whom have transferred the futal gift; who never soucht it; who un knowingly received a curse oi which they had no warning, and which they had no power to snun; can 1 do notningi "Nothing." saia the phantom. "Ah! Can she?" cried Redlaw, stil lookins upon the shade. The phantom released the hand It had retained till now, and soft- ily raised ils own with a gesture sround beside the boy, and, with the same kind of compassion for him that he now felt for himself, covered him as he slept, and no longer shrank from him with ab horrence or Indifference.

War has always been consider ed a wasteful "business." A prev alent Idea has been that the side with the greatest resources, the side which could put the most men and materials in the field, the side which could withstand the greatest losses, the side which could afford to waste the most, was bound to win the war. In a short war, maybe that the ory of logists holds good. But in a war that stretches out as this one seems to be stretching, the idea is open to question. In its place is the theory that the side which can manage its resources of men and materials most eco nomically is the side that can best withstand the drain of a long war and is the side that In the end will win. Getting down to present cases. take the matter of trucks. In its forthcoming report on transpor tation, the Truman .committee will take a strong position with respect . of the purchasing of trucks by the army. The war de partment has asked for the pro duction of hundreds of thousands of trucks in 1944. Meeting these military truck requirements has meant depriv ing civilian truck operators of new equipment The stockpile of new trucks that has been rationed out gradually in t h e last two years is now all gone, and only 100 new trucks were made for civilian use in these two years. . . Another phase of this problem comes In the ordering of indus trial tractors and. lift trucks. Don't Forget to Buy War Bonds mm Microscope Magnifies Six Million Time Austin, Tex.

Investigations oi the Truman committee explore the apparently careless methods ot preparing specifications and over-procurement of models for which there is questionable use. The war department is general ly given credit for having done a tremendously efficient and effec tive Job in handling the renegotia tion of Its contracts. Savings to the government of $1500.000.000 net have been reported by Un der Secretary of War Robert Pat terson as a result of renegotia tion and price adjustment This is simply good business practice.
