THE WRONG REMEDY
It isn't tough yet, possibly it won't get really tough, but
everybody who is paying any attention whatever to business
knows that there is over-production in some lines, which has
led to price reduction (not unwelcome) and payroll reduction
(most unwelcome), that savings have diminished, although
there is still a comfortable cushion of personal accumulations
and that buyers are increasingly reluctant. The records indi
cate that unemployment has become more of a problem. Jobs
are easier to lose and harder to find. Things can get worse
before they get better.
Sometimes we have been chided, with varying degrees ot
harshness, for what critics call our pessimism in matters
economic. We are told, for example, that it is such people as
we who are "talking the country into a depression". This is
all poppycock of course and not even high grade poppycock.
It comes not infrequently from some of the people who, back
in 193d were sounding off with the theory that "What busi
ness needs is a good war". There is no such thing as a good
war any more than there is such a thing as talking a country
into, a depression. Nor is there any connection between the
two ideas. It just happens that they are often entertained by
the same people, which probably has some significance if you
stop to work it out. ; .
- Recession, depression, whatever the name of the moment,
does not come about as the result of recognition of an existing
condition. Nor can it be eliminated by refusal to recognize it.
We can crack our skulls' against the stone wall as effectively
with our eyes closed as with them open. Lack of personal
awareness does not remove the obstacle. On the other hand,
with eyes open, the damage may be lessened. Sometime the
danger may be detoured. We do not think that it is pessimistic
to keep eyes open or to suggest that others do likewise. We
believe that it may still be possible to avert disaster and that
the greatest over-all possibility lies with federal government.
It is there that there is the greatest waste ; it is there that the
greatest opportunity for saving exists a saving to be passed
on to. the taxpayer, who, presently, is going to have less spend
ing money than heretofore and whose lack is going to be re
flected in the general prosperity. If the tax demand onliis
pocketbook is lessened, he may continue as a constant factor
in the equation rather than as a diminishing one.
All this, as we have put it down, seems pretty fundamental.
But, lest we be criticized again this time-for emphasizing
anvthintr so elementary let us observe that the Washington,
D. C school-of economists, headed or followed (we're not
quite sure' which) by the presideht, has some very different
ideas. .It and he recognize the slackening economic situa
tion; we do have that much in common. They cannot see the
virtue of government savings for the benefit of Ijhe indi
vidual.
On the contrary, the remedy which is being prepared for
the nation's economy is simply more squandering. Back in the
thirties it was tried again and.again and again. The well
was pretty dry. It was possible to pump out the water that
was poured in for priming or most of it but that was
about all. There is no, record that it produced any lasting re
sults except to add vastly to the national debt. This is what
Washington "economists" have in mind now. Squandering,
, apparently, is an obsession with them as was blood letting
with the medical practitioners of not many centuries ago.
Then, virtually any and every ailment was treated by
bleeding the patient, often to the point where he had no longer
. strength to resist the disease that plagued him. It mattered
not what the malady nor how weak the sufferer, he must be
bled, of ten repeatedly, sometimes fatally. '
The witless spending which is the administration's panacea
for all economic ills was known a decade ago as pump priming
and we have referred to it as such. But it reminds us more
strikingly of the senseless blood letting in earlier practice of
the healing art. And, it occurs to us, this nation has had quite
enough blood letting, both actual and economic. Saving, not
spending, is indicated.
By Peter Edson
(NEA Washington Correspondent) .'.
Washington (NEA) End of the
Paris conference of foreign min
isters brings American and allied
western European foreign policy
to another one of those crucial
turning points that are always
bobbing up. Regardless of the
somewhat disappointing results
of the Paris meeting, things aren't
going on in the same old stale
mate. A principal' factor In the new
situation will be emergence of the
new west German state. This
does not mean that it will be
turned loose and allowed to shift
for itself. But once having been
created, the new German state
will have to be given its proper
place in the European scheme of
tilings.
The 60,000,000 German people
will no longer be just the occu
pants of an occupied territory,
living in a political vacuum.
When elections are held next
month and the new provisional
government is constituted, it will
be impossible to undo what has
been lone , , ,
This new German government
will apparently start out with-a
fairly even balance of power be-'
tween tne social democrats of the
North Germany and the Christian
democrats of South Germany. But
these are not the only political
forces that, will have to be reck
oned' with, ' Other important ele
ments Include the German youth
groups and the refugees from
eastern Germany and eastern
Europe, -:
There are from 10,000,000 to 14,-
000,000 refugees In western Ger
many. They are desperate peo
ple; at odds with the native-born
residents of western Germany.
Many refugees are . now being
moved from Schleswig to the
B'rench zone, for instance, to re
lieve political pressure against
Danish territory. . ;' . t :
, The U. S. military government
has been giving considerable at
tention to the youth groups, fos
tering educational and sports or
ganizations In the American zone.
Both the refugees and the
youth groups are now believed
to be violently anti-communist.
But they are also believed to be
ripe piSkings for any new Ger
man nationalist ' movement that
comes along. The new Associa
tion of Independent Germans
formed in Frankfurt, or other
outfits of the same stripe, may
have a tremendous appeal to
youth and refugee groups which
will have no truck with the older,
democratic parties.
If these new political elements'
should hold the balance of power
In the new German slate, It will'
give the occupying powers a
tough problem to handle. ' The
western powers' will , probably
have to support the democratic
parties In order to maintain a
government that will at all times
cooperate for total European eco
nomic recovery and not work
Just for German recovery alone.
While thip negotiating with the
hew provisional German govern
ment may involve some risk of a
strongly nationalistic Germany
eventually arising, this is a calcu
lated risk that must be taken;
The alternative risk is to make
some bargain with soviet Russia
and give the communists more
voice in West German affairs,
Just for the sake of keeping down
West German nationalism.
Any idea that Russia will aban
don her desire for political con
quest of all Europe is pretty much
wishful thinking. While it should
have been evident to the Russians
within the past year that they
could not gain control of Europe,
they apparently did not see it.
They may have recognized
within the last few months that
the situation in western Europe
was not ripe for revolution. That
may nave accounted for their de
sire to hold the Paris meeting of
the council of foreign ministers,
and their willingness to attend fu
ture meetings.
On the other hand, this may
have been -merely an explanatory
move, seeking some new opening
through which to reinaugurate
their drive for conquest of west
ern Germany and western Europe
as a whcle.
Priest Dies After

Behind the Scenery
By Phil F. Brogan
Probing into Oregon's ancient
past, geologists have found that a
few thousand years back a huge
lake, Chewaucan, occupied inter
connected fault-block basins in
northern Lake county. The shore
lines of this vanished lake is part
of the scenery of a region world-
famous lor us crazlly tilted block
mountains.
Reflecting the 2000-foot high
cliffs of Winter rim, which now
overlook Summer lake, and
spreading south through the Pais
ley narrows, massive Lake Che
waucan curved to the northeast
along the present route of the
Yellowstone cutoff and Mirrored
the lofty Abert pinnacles. This
giant lake of old occupied the
Summer lake valley, covered the
Chewaucan marsh country and
flooded the - basin that now
cradles shallow Abert lake.
Lake Chewaucan of the remote
past was some 60 miles long. The
high water line of Lake Chewau
can was about 355 feet above the
present level of Summer lake. At
its highest stages, this-deep lake
extended through a gap at the
southeast corner of Summer lake
basin, so as to inundate that area,
now covered with dunes, sage
brush and gravel bars, to a depth
of more than 200 feet. ,
Shore lines of Lake Chewaucan
can be seen from the Fremont
highway, with three distinct ter
races visible at one point, just to
the' west of the highway. These
terraces were cut by the old lake
when the level remained constant
for a period of years, permitting
the waves to carve into the shoul
dering hills. .
Existing in the same fault-block
basins, but at a later age, was
Winter lake, ancestral to Summer
lake. At its maximum depth, Win
ter lake flooded the basin to a
depth of about 200 feet.
Close to-these lakes of pluvial
days were other great bodies of
water in south-central Oregon. To
the north, was a big lake that
flooded the Silver lake region and
spread through a broad valley to
tne Fort Rock area. To the north
east was giant Alkali lake of pleis
tocene days. .

Oof on the Farm
By "" S Grant
July iiThe week end was a
most successful one, from prac
tically every angle, In fact, if we
nad worked the past two weeks
the way we did the past two days,
probably we'd have accomplished
all our vacation goals.
Besides getting a couple of
buildings moved, we tore down
fences, piled trash lor a bonfire
we'll have some quiet evening,
weeded the garden, Irrigated trie
pasture and set the sprinkler up
on the little clover patch.
We've noticed that we cultivate
people with a wide variety of
talents. Folks who know how to
lay linoleum, or fix a light switch,
or build a window casing, or
make good potato salad.
Saturday we borrowed a block
and cable and by pre-arrange-ment,
a friend pf the Chieis
came out for a building-moving
bee. The high spot of the day
was when tne two of them, on
trip tractor, hooked on to the
front porch (which began about
four feet south of the front door)
and pulled it out into the back
yard. Last fall when we rear
ranged doors and windows, it left
the porch stranded uxe a oeacneu
ship, with no purpose for its be-
inff.
The porch was merely a floor
with four posts at tne corners,
and a very passable roof over
head. The Young Man said he
wanted it moved down to the
market road, so he could set up
a lemonade stand and get rich
on the tourists. I thought that it
was such a sturdy little pagoda
that we could enter it next year
as a float in the water pageant.
"Or it would make a nice band
stand," I suggested. Of course, it
would accommodate only a very
small band. Maybe a string quar
tet, or something.
The Chief was so purposeful
in his moving that I was sure he
had a plan in mind for making
use of the porch. "Are you going
to build another building and
hoist this roof up on top of It?"
I inquired. "Of course not," he
said patiently. "It's already a
building. I'm going to back it
up to the chicken house, and
sheet it up Just like It Is. We
need more room lor tne chickens,
anyway." : .
I thought that one chicken
house would be ample for 14
chickens, but could be the eight
pullets and the four hens would
be happier in separate quarters.
But then there's the problem of
what to do with the two banty
roosters. Probably we 11 need an
other house.
Well, the man who knows about
cables had to go home and take
his wife dancing, so the porch
just got as far as the end of the
driveway, and It's right square
in the middle of the turn-around.
Until it becomes a chicken house,
I guess we'll use it as an aux
iliary garage. , ,

FRECKLES AND HIS FRIENDS
THIS IS
Photography
How would you like to take
some silhouette pictures, just
to enlarge your collection and
improve your technique? It's
really much easier than you
might think and opens to the
camera enthusiast an entirely
new field of fun in picture tak
ing. And there are dozens of
ways to get the job done.
Anything . . . trees, rocks,
boats, human figures, etc. . . .
that will lend itself to the com
position of a picture by being
outlined against a contrasting
background is an excellent sub
ject. The grandeur of moun
tain scenes can often be dra
matized by a foreground sil
houette. A sea shore sunset
can be transformed from an
ordinary, unappealing snap
shot into a spectacular com
position by judicious use of
offshore rocks or wind-swept
shortline trees.
It's No Secret
The beauty of it all Is that
there are really no tricky sec
rets to mystify the inexperi
enced photographer. The only
trick of the trade is in the use
and choice of subject matter.
Exposures vary little, if any,
from the usual. Choice of film
and filters alters the resulting
effect just enough to create a
desire to delve into the sub
ject with Individual experi
ments. Seashore and countryside of
fer the silhouettes photogra
pher many opportunities for
outstanding scenes and "mood"
pictures. A passing cloud cast
ing heavy foreground shad
ows may be the signal to go
into action instead of swearing
at imagined misfortune. What
more appealing subject can be
found than a shapely bathing
girl silhouetted against the
gleaming surf or brilliant sun
set sky! Lacking the charm
ing presence of a comely mod
el, try a few good shots of sea
shore trees or offshore rocks.
Try a New Approach
A snow covered mountain
peak is an ideal illustration.
The normal exposure on pan
chromatic film with a medium
yellow filter, K2, may bel100
sec. at f16 to record Efficient
ly foreground detail as well as
the beauty of towering craigs
.and undulating mountain gla
ciers. But get away from the
familiar post card . rendition
of the scene and scout around
a bit for a new approach. There
must be some scraggly old
timberling tree or spectacular
mountain cliffs that will add
interest to the foreground. If
they happen to bo in tho shade,
so much the better. That nor
mal exposure will still be okay
for the mountain, but the
shadow foreground will bo
greatly underexposed. That's
good. There we have the mak
ings of a mountain silhouette.
All that's necessary Is to choose
a viewpoint which will outline
the tree or cliff against sun
lighted mountains and sky.
Presto! A silhouette, and a
dramatic picture.
Why not give It a try. For
film, filters and how to use
them, see the Camera Dept.
