PATHS FOB ANGLERS
Tha number of telephone calls made to this office by per
sons who sought information on the subject of house bill 157
indicate a widespread interest in its terms. This is the bill
relating to anglers' riverside paths whose passage by the
Oregon house was reported in the news on Wednesday, mom
of those who read the story from Salem got the impression
that the bill by legislative fiat makes all lands along nulling
streams open to the public.
Well, that is juBt not so. Indeed, it is beyond the power of
the Uregon or any other legislature to enact sucn a law.
House bill 157 proposes to amend section 16 of chapter 275
of the laws enacted by the 1941 legislature. That was a game
commission law and section 16 authorized the commission to
spend ts funds for the acquisition of hunting grounds and, in
doing so, to use the power of eminent domain. It was under
mis statute, we oeneve, mac me puuuc iiuming gruunus ul
Summer lake were bought. The amendment now proposed ex
tends these powers to "fishing grounds." Private property
rights are not attacked by the bill though, of course, the
power to encroach on them, after compensation is made, is
given the game commission. The condition is no different irom
that obtaining in the matter of roads and highways. The
highway commission, the city, the county court each may
take land over which the public wants to pass.
The inquiries we have received have been from persons
who have gone on to tell us of what they have suffered from
those young and old, who have used or crossed their river
front lots for fishing. It is a story of broken fences, trampled
flower beds and debris-strewn paths. It is not a record that
sportsmen would make. The only reply we could offer was
that unfortunately all anglers were not sportsmen.
THE ANNIVERSARY OF SCOUTING
It was an Englishman, Sir Robert Baden-Powell, who ini
tiated the boy scout movement in his home country in 1908.
It took hold in America in the following year and this week
the boy scouts of America are celebrating their 35th anni
versary. More than half the world membership of 3,000,000 is
found in the United States.
The fact that Hitler and Mussolini banned scouting in
Germany and Italy is a strong testimonial to the honesty, the
tolerance, the freedom and the democracy of the movement.
We have seen it working in our own country in both peace and
war building character and citizenship.
Scouting in this area is now on a firm fooling and finan
cially well supported. Ve hail this national anniversary and
hope for the growth of the movement wherever boys are grow
ing up to be good citizens and that means everywhere
democracy flourishes. , , ' I

Since noting here the other day that 18 state legislatures
have approved the resolution proposing a 25 per cent ceiling
on federal income, gift and inheritance taxes We have learned
that progress toward approval is being made in six other
states. In California and Virginia the lower house of the
state legislature has voted favorably and so has the senate in
Nevada, Ohio, Louisiana and New York. There is plenty of
precedent for favorable action in the Oregon legislature.

THE STORY: At the age of 10,
Frederic Chopin's dexterity at the
pianoforte has already made him
a person of note In the little Polish
vlllago of Zclazowa Wola. Count
Skarbok, owner of the clllage, has
requested that he play In u public
concert at Warsaw. Frederic con
fides in Professor Eisner that he
and his young friends have been
having secret meetings ana wnen
they grow up Intend to fight for
the freedom of Poland, wnicn is
under the rule ot the Russian'
Czar. Eisner Is sympathetic,
dreams of the day when the Paris
musical world will acknowledge
Frederic's genius.
Electronic power healing lias
greatly increased In American in
dustries during the war, and a
far greater Increase Is predicted
for post-war days when electronic
equipment will tie more easily obtainable.

THE CONCERT
The excitement of preparing for
Frllzchen's first public perform
ance had lis elect on Mamma
Chopin. She was put to bed with
a lever and it was tnougiu sue
would not be well enough to at
tend. "I am not sick," Mama said.
"How perfectly ridiculous."
She culled for Frltzehen and the
boy went into the bedchamber and
stood alongside Mamma's bed and
took Mamma's hand.
"Frederic, did they tell you
Mmnma was sick?"
"Yes, Mamma."
"That Is a terrible thing to tell
you. Look at me. Does your Mam- j
ma look sick?"
"No, Mamma."
"f am not sick yet they won't
let me get up. What am I to do?
I am as well as anyhndy but to
them that doesn't make any dif
ferent. I must si ill do as they
say. Well, 1 will do It, of course,
1 am not so stubborn. I will do it
if only to show them. Hut when
iiiey say I am sick, I want to
laugh in their faces. Frllzchen,
my darling, your Mamma can
laugh as hearty as any of them."
She l.-yighert mid Frilzchen
Joined in the laughter.
" Now, my d.'irliniT, there are
just one or two things I must tell
you."
"Yes, Mamma."
" Your Mamma is not sick.
That is the first thing. Rut do I
have to tell you that? You can
see for yourself. Now the next
thing. Frllzchen -the night air is
not good for you. You will please
see that your coat is tight about
your neck, and do not open It,
whatever you do."
"I won't open It, Mamma."
"Well, then I am sure you
won't. Now, my darling, kiss
your Mamma on the cheek."
I rederic placed his lips on her
warm cheeks that were wet with
teat's.

"No, Frltehen, I am not cry
ing. Why would I cry? This Is all
such nonsense. Mv children they

say-when you walk out on the

you must not cry. or run away.
I Hold your head up. firm. Fritz

! "I will hold it like this. Mum

I " -Yes. Firm. And always, no!

I'htzchen, remember you are play

I for Professor Eisner.' Nothing

you forget that." "
"I won't forget It."
" I will be thinking of you,
Frederic, all the time every mo
ment. I will be thinking of noth
ing else. Yes, another thing, I had
almost forgotten. Count Skarbck
will be there, he will be In a box,
on the side of the stage. You can
be sure he will have his eyes on
you. Well, that Is nothing to be
afraid pf. It might be a nice thing,
Frltzchen, when you have finish
ed, to take a stop or two toward
the box where he Is and make a
ipecial bow to him "
"But why should I bow to him,
Mamma, and not to all?"
Mamma puckered her lips,
"Fritzchen, the Count is a very,
very great man."
Frederic said. "Yes, but he Is
not so great as Professor Eisner."

She tossed and was very restless.
All her thoughts were of the con
cert. Would Frltzchen remember
all she had told him? Her cars
were alert for the sounds of the
relurnlng carriage. She heard
nothing but the wind in the eaves.
Cue thing she had managed to
do before they had put her to bed,
a perfectly well woman: she had
had managed to see that Fritz
chen looked his best. She and
Papa had laid out the money for
the very finest velvet trousers and
new shoes and a handsome smock
with a broad collar and sturdy
strings with which to keep the
smock In place about the child's
neck. He wore mittens, too, for
his fingers must be warm If they
were to be limber.

At last! They were homo at
last!
Mamma sat up. She flung the
bedcovers from her, but, on sec
ond thought, pulled them back,
then shouted: "Well! Are you
there:"
Fritzcfien was at the door first.
Mamma saw by the light of the
candles how his eye glowed. She
knew the concert was a success.
"It was, wasn't it?"
Papa Chopin, his high hat still
on his head, was in the doorway.
"Well, don't any of you say
anything?"
"I wasn't afraid, Mamma."
"No, no! Don't tell me that.
I know that. What was there to
be afraid of? But how was it?
How did the people act? Did they
applaud? Thai's what I want to
know. Did they applaud? Well,
don't you open your mouth? Don't
"They looked ut me, Mamma.
Well, not so much at me. But they
all looked at my new collar!"

(NEA Staff Correspondent)
Washington, D. C Most prom
ising development seen on the
stabilization front In recent
months was the ease with which
office of price administration put
over Its roll-back orders on cloth
ing. As a result, OPA Administra
tor Chester Bowles Is willing to
say openly that the scare of In
flation can be licked, that stabili
zation can be achieved. The situa
tion today is described as still
critical, but not Impossible. It is
dependent on three things:
Holding the line on wages.
Enforcement of present price
ceilings.
Renewal of the price control act
Lin its present form.
wnenever tne suojeci ui wages
is brought up in the presence of
the price administrator, he
changes the subject. That Isn't his
baby. He won't even indulge in a
little speculation on what might
happen to prices if the wage for
mula should be broken and a
broad series of pay raises should
go into effect in war industries.
But the implications are obvious.
General wage increases right
across the board would almost in
evitably lead to some price ad
justments in consumer goods and
services and put a severe strain
on the cost of living Index by
which stabilization is measured.
Enforcement of present price
ceilings and rationing regulations
is interpreted as pretty largely a
matter of budget. The 3,100 OPA
enforcement officers now scat
tered about the country an aver
age of only about one per county
can't begin to do the job of In
spection necessary except in a
spot-check sort of way, or going
after the worst offenders. ,
Renewal of the present price
control act for another 18 months
or until six months after the end
of the war with Germany is not
expected to cause a great deal of
commotion in Congress this sis!-,
sion. Congress went through Its
string of investigations of OPA
last year. I
Pressure groups from private
industry and blocs in Congress
with special interests have eased
up in tljelr demands for breaking
OPA controls. That bag been done
by writing regulations which pro
vide definite limits within the law.
In the case of the new clothing
regulations, more materials were
ordered diverted Into garments
selling in the lower price ranges.
It should have been done a year
ago, says Bowles. That it was not
done was due to the reluctance
of war production board officials
then in charge of textiles to be
concerned over civilian clothing
supplies. ' .
What really scares Bowles, he
says, is the fear that some day
Mrs. Brown will get the idea that
Mrs. Smith and Mr. Jones have
been getting away with murder
in black market buying and will
set out to do the same things she
thinks her neighbors are doing,
regardless of ration coupons or
cost. If that ever happens, it win
be the end of stabilization.
