"MAKE MINE DEMOCRACY"
That is the theme which Campfire Girls will have in mind
through the coming week as they observe the 39th birthday
nt thoii. ni-imnivsitinn Tt.' a crand idea that is embodied in
those three words and the girls all over the nation who will
be emphasizing it, in action as well as in words, are to be con
gratulated on adopting it as well as on their anniversary.
Incidentally there are some 300 Campfire members in Bend
this year who are trying hard for national birthday honors as
they seek to exemplify the principles of democracy. What
makes their interest especially worth while is the fact that it
is manifest not merely for the one week, but week in and
week out and year in and year out. ...
Campfire Girls have already chosen democracy. It is one
of the reasons why they become such good citizens.
WE LIKE THEIR SINGING
The Bend Gleemen have completed their winter concert
season and again we wish to express the appreciation of the
community for the fine entertainment given by this talented,
hard working musical organization. Appearances were made
this month not only in Bend out in otner leading communities
of central Oregon as well. From the outside, fine reports have
come in. Here at home we know that the Gleemen, under the
direction of Don P. Pence, were something very special, better
even than last year (although we realize that this is what we
said a year ago) and that their local, program was generally
enjoyed. .
These late winter concerts represent the work of many
months, of consistent practice, of many rehearsals. We un
derstand that the Gleemen enjoy this sort of work; they may
be assured that the increasing number of music lovers in
Bend enjoy the results of their work. Aside from the set con
certs, arranged annually as we have said, the Gleemen have
given generously of their time and ability in strengthening
the programs or otner organizations ana in proviuing special
entertainment features for various gatherings. For these,
also, there is full appreciation.
FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Now that the polio campaign (thanks to Mrs. J. F. Arnold
and her industrious organization) is nicely over the top, a
word about another campaign this conducted as an Easter
seal sale is in order. It is tor the benefit of crippled children
and adults and could easily be confused with the previous
drive because of polio's dark reputation as a crippling disease.
Actually, however, the two do not overlap. The new campaign,
which will begin on Thursday, March 17, is for the assistance
of physically handicapped persons not otherwise cared for.
The proceeds from the sale of Easter seals will go to this use.
Ralph Adams is chairman of the sale, which is another
point in its favor. We hope that it will be well supported and
that the returns from it may be in proportion to the need.

Ice, Anyone?
1 SUN VS. RAIN
Says the Oregon Statesman : - I - .
The Bend Bulletin, noting reports of soot and smog and
. factory iumes In metropolitan centers, brings up Bend as a
"the place In the sun" with a "darned good yeai-uround cli
mate." Yep, Bend hus a place in the sun which many folk .
like to get away from for a good slice of Pacllic ocean fog
" and mist. When we get our North Santiam highway people
: can scoot hack und forth easily and pick up parcels of trans
Cascade climate, sun in Bend and rain in Salem.
We shall not argue this point raised by the Statesman ex
cept to say that wc thought it was to get crabs and ocean
fishing that we sun-burned central Oregonians went over the
mountain. Whatever the fact may be we join our Salem friend
in looking forward with pleasure tp tne completion of the
North Santiam highway.
Regret at the news that Bend is losing the services of Wil
fred Burgess as a school administrator is tempered by the
fact that he will accede to the position of principal if the
Crook county high "school. That institution, we feel, is to be
, congratulated.

Bv Pclor Edson
(NEA Wiuhiiiiilon Corruuondcnt)
Washington (NEA) Chad Cal
houn, vice-president in charge of
tne Washington olfice for Kaiser
Co. interest, nas circulated among
capital newsmen a dozen highly
embarrassing questions. Unfor
tunately, tnere is not space to
give them all here. But the gen
eral purport is to raise suspicions
that there Is a great split in Presi
dent Truman's official family of
advisers on economic policy.
Tnere is a fairly obvious reason
why tnese questions are raised at
tins time, is.aiser-11 razer automo
bile company has been one of tne
most active pleaders for tne idea
tnat the feueral reserve board
snould relax its Regulation W re
strictions on consumer credit. Tne
purpose is naturally to enable
more prospective Kaiser-Frazer
customers to buy cars for less
tnan one-third uown and the bal
ance in more tnan tne iormer
limit of 18 montn or the new
limit of 21 montns.
1 his company an.d many others
in tne same boat make tne argu
ment that if they can t sell more
cars on easier terms, more auto
workers will have to be laid off.
It is further maintained tnat in
creased unemployment will natur
ally add to tne business decline,
tnereby ottsettmg tne Denenciai
results til curbing inflation, which
is what Regulation w was intend
ed to do.
... H
When people can't get what
they want out of government,
they naturally assume it isn't be
ing run rignt and that there's
something tne matter witn tne
people at the top. Tne usual tech
nique of tne Washington business
representative in sucn a predica
ment is to start turning on the
heat where he believes it will do
some good. And in this kind of
pressure cooking, nobody has
greater four-burner skill than
Henry Kaiser and his bright
young men.
Unuerstanding this background
consider a few of Cnad Cainoun's
pointed questions and a few pos
sible answers obtained after con
sultation with people who should
know, but naturally can't be iden
tified or quoted on what are con
fidential matters.
Question "Is there a terrific
split in tne (President s! Council
ot Economic Advisers tnat is,
(John u.) Clark and (Leon) Kcy-
serimg vs., (Chairman Edwin O.)
Nourser
Tuo answer seems to bo "No!"
They have their arguments on
many subjects. But in everytniiig
they have announced thus far in
their own reports and in tiie presi
dent's program, they are appar
ently in unanimous agreemnt. Un
some subjects on which no offi
cial policy statement has been
issued, tnere are unresolved dif
ferences of opinion. What makes
it appear that the council is split
is Cnairman Nourse's refusal to
testily beiore congressional com
mittees. He does Uiis only be
cause he considers himself a con
fidential adviser to tne president.
.
Question "Do (Presidential
counsel Clark) Clifford, Keyscr
lirig and Clark have more influ
ence over Truman than Snyder,
Sawyer, et al.V"
Suggestions like this usually
imply what many people have

been led to believe namely, that
the president is a mass of dough
which will retain the lasting im
pression of whatever fingers are
stuck into him farthest and often
est. Men around Truman say
nothing could be farther from the
truth. . They paint him as a fellow
with Ideas of his own, and awfully
stubborn. What his advisers
sometimes wish is that they could
Influence him more. Some of
them have complained openly be
cause they can't get the president
to do what they want him to do.
In short, the president is boss.
In this connection, a little no
ticed quotation from the presi
dent's recent speech before the
National Planning association is
pertinent.
"You know," said Mr. Truman,
"they talk about the powers of the
president of the United States.
You know what those powers are,
principally? Trying to get people
to do what they ought to do with
out being asked to do it. The
president spends most of his time
kissing people first on on cheek
and then on the other in order to
get them to do what they ought
to do without getting kissed.

Washington. March 12 IP)
Science is wonderful, but it Is
hoped that a couple of New York
City inventors know what they're
up to.
These fellows have Invented a
combination handbag and pillow,
and all sorts of things are pos
sible. The gentlemen are William
Z. Norman and Julius BUlig. The
patent office looked over their
gadget and granted pat. No.
2,462,215.
A woman could carry the thing
while traveling like a purse.
Then, Instead of giving the porter
on the train a quarter for a pil
low, all she would have to do
would be to dump the junk, make
the bag airtight by snapping a
couple of snaps, take a deep
breath and puff out the sides of
the bag, which, ol course, is made
of rubber.
The inventors apparently never
looked into a lady's purse. What's
a gal going to do with her com
pact, lipstick, eyebrow shadow,
bobby pins, tissue, gum, keys,
hankies, coin p"urse, buttons, sew
ing kit, safety pins, receipts Jor
old purchases, at least a dozen
unanswered letters, etc.?
I She'd have to carry another
handbag! The Inventors apparent
ly have no answer for this, but
insists that the bag-pillow would
be right handy on a fishing trip,
which it likely would.
The inventors have been busy
in recent weeks, trying to make
life more pleasant for a man to
get things done around the house.
Like cutting the kids' hair and
saving the dollar a clip costs, In
cities like Washington.
inis novel home cutter was In
vented by Warren M. Mansfield
of Glendale, Calif,, who must have
had the same trouble other fath
ers have in making ends meet.
His invention looks like a dime
store comb, except that it has a
replaceable razor blade attached.
Also hooked onto the top is a
"magic knob" with which a man
can adjust the blade to cut thin
or coarse hair. I don't know
whether the patent people tried it
out, but apparently they did, for
now we have pat. 2,462,519.
Also on the market Is some
thing new in shoe laces. The kind
you don't ever .have to tie. No
knots or bows or bending over.
