Organization for the campaign has been delayed, not, we think, because of any lack of real interest, but "because of a tendency to set aside civic matters in favor of personal af fairs. At last, however, the start has been made and the an nounced plan is to finish the job with all speed. Needs to be met are few in comparison with the long list of other years. Participation in the state chest drive has been set at $4,163, for the Boy Scouts 5,879.25 is required and for the Camp Fire Girls ?2.500. The total, $12,542.25 is not large, but it must be met. The surplus, drawn on last year, is all but gone. This year's needs must be met this year. They cannot be met by complacent reflection on the achieve ments of the past. Other drives in the state are already well under way if not completed and the Deschutes county organization must have sincere cooperation and earnest help if it is to keep from coming in at the tail end of the procession. One way that occurs to us of giving this help will be for businesses and individuals to turn in their donations at once rather than to wait until they are asked. Elmer Lehnherr is the treasurer of the organization and, we are sure, is ready to start work now. There's a picture going the rounds of jack rabbits con gregated on the Los Angeles municipal air port. We think the picture has been faked though even as we say so we recall that the city advertises itself in every way possible. Why not this, too, although one knows that to get to Los Angeles one would have to pass all sorts of border inspections? The radio-controlled plow-drawing tractor is said to be in sight and the day approaches when the operator will sit in a corner of the field or even on the front porch and guide the machine. Bet the courts find the guy is in interstate com merce and must have a license from the F. C. C. Secret's Out If-" - VJ f x cv tV t l.v Ca-i"- - Xa , i- V" SI That Rear Adm. Richard E. Byrd, abov played a highly secret and important role in World War II was disclosed recently when Adm. Chester W. Nimitx present ed him with his fourth citation, a sold star in lieu of a second Legion of Merit. The famous polar hero disappeared from public notice in 1941 to engage in secret work in both Atlantic and Pacific theaters. This in cluded making an overall stra tegic plan for the Pacific and a secret reconnaissance on whose basis the first Guadalcanal of fensive was launched. County Court Proceedings It is not generally known but, according to our under standing, the administration's plan.tif it has to send John L. Lewis to jail, is to put him in one with no coal supply for heating. Washington Column By Peter Edson ( NKA Waabragloa Correavaadentl Washington, Nov. 21 Let's get this straight. Toward the end of John L Lewis's letter to Interior secretary-coal mines administrator Cap Krug, there was the following classic paragraphs that read like something by a ham Virgil: "You, now, at the last hour, of the last day, yield to the blan dishments and soothing siren voice of the operators and seek to place the United Mine workers of America and its members between Scylla and Charybdis. This course we refuse to follow." If all these allusions sound like Greek to Cap Krug, he's right. They're swiped from Homer's Odyssey and the S1.98 edition of Bulfinch's Mythology. To trans late it into terms of the 1946 coal strike is therefore necessary, so people can understand it. In the first place, John L. Lewis is casting himself in the role of Ulysses, or Obysseus as the Greeks called him. You remember the adventures of Ulysses, of course. He was king of Ithaca Greece, not New York. (Or as you'd say in today's slang, he was the boss of the United Mine workers of his time.) Ulysses was the hero of the Tro jan wars. (John L. has been fight ing Trojans for years the coal operators and the government.) You see, all the Greek kings had taken an oath to protect the beautiful queen Helen. (As a symbol of today's goings on she would represent the much-sought-after leadership of the American labor movement) One day a sheep herder named Paris came along and eloped with : the fair Helen, taking her off to Troy. (If Paris had lived today, he would have been a steelworker in the C. I. O. and his name would have been Phil Murray.) So when Paris (or Phfl Murray) eloped with Helen (or leadership in the labor movement) it was up to Ulysses (John L. Lewis) to go !get her back. That's what the Trojan wars were all about. (That's what today's coal strike is really all about.) Ulysses, you'll remember, was the guy who thought up the wooden horse, which fooled the Trojans. (In today's parlance, the wooden horse would be the coal contract which Ulysses Lewis signed with the government. Oh, baby, did that surprise the Trojan coal operators when they were so rudely awakened to find out how the government and Ulysses Lewis had taken over their prop erties.) Ulysses won the war after out smarting the Trojans this way, but he had a terrible time getting I back home. At one place, you re-J member, his men landed on thej island of Circe the Sorceress, who turned them into pigs, to wallow; in stys and feed on acorns. (According to Lewis, the allus ion here would be that the miners have to live in company houses, that are no better than pigpens. According to the operators, the miners are making so much money now they're wallowing in wealth.) Anyway, Ulysses finally makes Circe release his men from the wallow (by means of a five cents I per toy royalty for a health and welfare fund, nodoubt.) Also, Circe told Ulysses how to get his men safely past the Sirens. (Note See Lewis's reference to the Sirens in quotation from his letter to Krug.) The Sirens were the Andrews Sisters of their day. They were sponsored by the coal operators of these times. They sat on rocks and sang off-key beauty shop hotcha to lure union labor to its! doom. The cure Circe provided was to plug the ears of the sailors with wax and lash Ulysses to the mast. (In modern parlance this was the equivalent of the Wagner Act. and a new safety code for miners. ) But even after they passed the Sirens, Ulysses and his men had to get by the two monsters of Scylla and Charydbis. tSee reference in Lewis' letter, above) Scylla was once lovely to look at, but was now frightful to know. She had six heads, her lower ex tremities were serpents and bark ing monsters, she lived in a cave (a coal mine). She had an evil temper and her pet trick was to devour union labor that fell In her grasp. Ulysses lost six men. ( Supervisory emp 1 o y e e s, no doubt, lured by promises of be ing made superintendents). Charybdis was a gulf of water which thrice daily rushed up toi the portals of a frightful chasm and thrice daily was disgorged in a vicous whirlpool. (The allus ion here was no doubt the origin of the three shift system, portal to portal with overtime and' doubletime.) , 1 As John L. Ulysses Lewis said' in his letter to Trojan Captain! Krug, the miners weren't yielding . to the Sirens, and they didn't In-! tend to get caught by Scylla andj Charybdis. Not going their way.

Yet the judges admit it wasn't just because Bert had the finest ears of corn. He knew how to fi play them; neatly arranged, with the husks cleanly trimmed, and the booth white and spotless. Trimmings" sure make differ ence no matter what you'r offer ingas Andy Botkin, keeper of the Garden Tavern, well knows. Andy doesn't just sell good beer. He sella it in a place that's clean and attrac tive... in nice surroundings that belong with the enjoyment of a wholesome beverage of moderation. And Andy, of course, is a whole hearted supporter of "Self Regu lation." That's the system by which the Brewers and tavern keepers themselves make Bure that taverns selling beer are clean and orderly. From where I sit, people like Andy also rate a "First prize." Not Just for the quality of the product but for the "trimmings" too. FIFTEEN YEARS AGO (November 21, 1931) The Bend Lava Bears took the football championship for Cen tral Oregon yesterday by defeat ing Prineville 26 to 13. A new sportsmen's guide, Is sued by an oil company, lists Silver lake as having excellent trout fishing. Silver lake at one time covered an area of about 20 square miles, but is now com pletely dry and has been for sev eral years. Using Knott field as a base, R. D. Davis plans to conduct a fly ing school here this winter with Ted Barber as pilot. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (November 21, 1921) J. H. Haner and Millard Trip lett had Just completed setting out decoy ducks on the upper Deschutes river yesterday when two other hunters approached' and "opened up" on the sitting ducks. The carnage was appall ing, Haner declared. ' Immediate steps to enforce the city ordinance governing the height of awnings in the business district are being taken, accord ing to J. S. Innes, chairman of the streets committee of the city council, William G. SchJiehting, former director of the University of Washington band, was last night elected to direct the Shevlln Hixon band, taking the place of John Graham.
