START FILLING THE CHEST NOW
After the showing made in war years when the com
munity chest in Deschutes county was repeatedly filled to
overflowing, it would be a pitiful thing if the much smaller
chest of peace time should have the least empty space remain
ing when the 19-16 campaign for funds has reached its end.
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.

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. I
(What would you poor readers;
do if you didn't have the news-1
papers handy to translate the
language of John L. Lewis fori
you when he started talking;
Greek Mythology to settle coal
strikes?)

Why Bert Won
First Prize
Folks weren't surprised when
Bert Childers won first prize for
his corn at the county fair.
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

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,
