PAPER WASTE
Though we have hud little to say on the subject in recent
weeks our war airainst government paper wawters continues,
It is for that reason that we want to tell about a couple of
instances of paper waste here today. Each is connected with
ah army group and that makes the waste seem all the worse
. because the public is'conslantly being told that to save paper
means to help save the lives ol soldiers.
The instance latest in point of time is noted on the part
of the public relations ofhee of the rortland sub-port or cm
barkation. It has sent out, two weeks after V-E day, the copy
of a prayer uttered at the port by one Chaplain Bragstad "at
a colorful but solemn observance ot the day. . i his was
marked "For immediate release" and went to a long, long
- list of names. The release was on two sheets and the second
sheet contained just one and a half lines of the prayer or,
including the final "Amen," 18 Words.
If this prayer had any Value to those oh the list to whom
it was sent it was lost, at least to most, by the delay in getting
it out. If it was truly an important release it could, and
. should, have been put on one piece of paper. We are guessing
that not one per cent on the mailing list used it. About all
the thing was was a piece of publicity for the chaplain and
- something on which the public relations officer could appear
to be busy. .
The other instance was in connection with a piece from
that public relations office at Fort Douglas that used to send
out banana loaf recipes and such like when yes, we had no
bananas. From that office. came, a week or two after its de
livery, the copy of a speech made by General Somervell. We
thought the general might want to put a stop to waste of that
sort and had the matter called to his attention. And did the
general reply saying that paper was, indeed, in short supply
and that he would see to it that no more was so carelessly
used ? He did not. He had an aide reply saying that he was
sorry that the report of the speech had been sent out so long
alter its delivery.
That, it seems to us, is more important for the public and
the tax payers and all of us who are saving paper for the war
effort to think about than everything that General Somervell
said in the speech whatever it was.
NO IIIDl.V PLACE
We are almost frightened by the implications of some of
the statements made at the aeronautics board hearing here
the other day. Our air-minded friends look to the time in
the not distant future when, in effect, they will be wanting
to set their planes down in front of the store where they
want to do their shopping, sheep herders will be dropping
in by plane for the supplies now taken out to them by the
Blow pack train and, most uphappy prospect, sportsmen will
want landing strips along the mountain lakes onto which they
may drop when they fly in for the late afternoon fishing or
the morning hunt. ' .
" We accept the idea of the roadside strip and the close-to-town
flying field with some degree of equanimity. From now
on there will be flying and more and more of it. And flying
for business or for sport the sport of flying, that is will
require facilities of all sorts. But must they bo provided in
the back country? Is it to become impossible for a guy to
find peace and quiet and stillness near a wooded lake? Must
every spot be made one into which anybody with a plane can
drop?
Today visits to the lakes and the more remote woods arc
open io anyuouy. Anyoociy, mat is, who has a pair of logs
and the desire and will to stretch them. In the future, too,

WHY I OPPOSE
THE WAR MARIilAGE
Before the war morrlaee Is
performed, there are four ques
tions which should be considered
and answered honestly:
1. Do you really know each
other?
2. Have you similar back
grounds and interests?
3. Are you both really in love?
4. Does the p,hi realize that
when her husband returns ho.
may be a stranger to her? :
The war marriage is too often
regarded as little more than a
fleeting gesture of affection for
a boy who Is leaving to fight for
his country. This Is very far
from being the case. In actual
practice there is nothing fleeting
about the war marriage. True, it
is growing easier and easier for
a man in the aimed forces to
marry. Many state legislatures
have abolished the wailing period
between license and ceremony.

We do not want to put brakes on the wheels of progress
but we urge that some parts of our country should be left
as is.
One of the news services' says that "no chief executive
(of the United States) has ever flown across this continent
while in office." Sounds tautological and gives us our first
opportunity to use a $1.75 word in this column.
The Orcgonian says that Truman's "appointments are
likely to be well scattered." Okay, so long as they are not as
so often has been the case, scatter-brained.

chance for adjustment. In war
time there Is little or none.
The man is sent away to new
lands and new people and new
and often overwhelming experi
ences. The woman remains be

periences. Instead of a close link
being forged between them, a
gulf is dug, across which it will
take infinite patience and intelli
gence and good will to build .a

Hoover War Memorial UDrary,
Stanford University. Formerly
there were two other famous
collections of documents on wars,
revolutions and peace, one in
Paris and the other in Berlin.
The German collection in Berlin
is believed to ' have teen com

collection was badly damaged

All these and other similar ex

If this sounds a bit thin, It
doesn't add up that way at all.
Fact is that dozens of the foreign
delegates and their advisers were
educated in the United States.-
Galo Plaza Lasso of Ecuador was
a footabll star at Stanford. Jorge
Fidel Duron of Honduras studied

June 16 a tota of 1,251 married

to change the decision they made
to become subject to Oregon's
now-voided community property
law. , '
The Oregon law, passed In
1943, was one of two In the
United States. Last year the Ok
lahoma law, from which Oregon's
was drawn, was nullified by a de
cision of the U. S. Supreme court.
Under the Oregon statute, hus

wished, declare that their prop

The difference between "com
munity property" states hm
"common law" states goes back
a long way. The community
property states, in which the
principle that property is owned
jointly is mandatory, draw that '
principle from tradition and cos.
torn. In some southern states
such as Texas and Louisiana, the
idea comes from French or Span
ish law. There are seven such
states, including both Washing,
ton and California.
But in the states where laws
carte chiefly from English com
mon law, there Is no such his
torical principle. In Oregon and
Oklahoma, 'the state legislatures
attempted to change that by '
statute. But the supreme court
held that the laws were hot valid
because they made a community
property status optional, rather
than mandatory. .
