FOR EXECUTIVE REORGANIZATION In their endorsement of the Hoover commission report on reorganization of the executive branch of our national t'ov erament, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, Business and Professional women's club and Bend Teachers association are taking a constructive stand. In their decision to promote general understanding of the purposes and possibilities in herent in the commission's recommendations as a background for legislative enactment of the efliciencies and economies which the report proposes the three groups are embarking upon a public service of the utmost importance. The Hoover commission, which has now completed its task, vas in no sense a political organization. Authorized by the congress and approved by the president, its chairman, named in a democratic administration, was America's ranking re publican (and still is) and it is by his name that the com mission has commonly been known. Its final report was based of findings reached in painstaking, scientific re search conducted by task forces drawn from the best brains available in this country. The task force reports identified the duplications, the overlappings of government activities, the instances of waste, inelliciency, over-staffing of depart ments and bureaus. The commission, analyzing the task force reports, presented in its conclusions the means by which sim plicity could replace complexity, by which efficiency could replace inefficiency, by which economy (in time as well as money) could replace the waste that is one of the factors in deficit financing of the day. The commission's report is no generalization ; it is specific, blueprinting with an exactness that allows of no misunder standing the steps that should be taken to eliminate executive confusion, to short-cut the tangle that has gradually come into being over the years. " . What it all means has been stated before but it will bear re-stating many times. Expressed in terms of the currently favorite unit of monetary measurement, the report, actually put into effect, can save the U.S. treasury three billion dollars a year, this can be translated into reduction of the levies made annually on the taxpayers (all of us, that is), or in sys tematic retirement of the national debt, a procedure which would also bring about tax reduction. It is a great work, this report, done by a great board of efficiency experts. But, as we have suggested, in order that the work shall bear fruit, it is necessary that the commission's recommenda tions shall become active, forceful law. To a minor extent this has already come about in enactments by the congress. But the most important part of the job remains to be done. It can be accelerated but in all probability will not be acceler ated except in response to popular demand. That demand, we believe, can only stem from general realization of what the commission's recommendations mean, from general under standing and acceptance of how utterly necessary it is that the executive branch of the American government be put on a sound, economic, efficient basis. Once that is achieved, the plans submitted will be on their way to adoption. This One is About Worn Out Fremont Journal MAKING THE TURN Several years ago when Bend discontinued diagonal in fa vor of parellel parking the width of the city's downtown streets permitted the addition of a fourth traffic lane. The change has greatly facilitated both local and through move ment of vehicles and, in the main, has resulted in greater driving safety. It is to be observed, however, that there are still motorists either ignorant of proper use of the double lane into which each half of the street is divided or' who choose to make their own rules, thereby introducing a need less hazard to themselves and others. Partly this is noticeable in intersection turns, driving to the right from a left-hand lane or to t.hr lnl'r. from n i-itrhi- hand lane. Just as wrong, although less dangerous, is the practice of crossing directly into a left-hand lane on a right turn or into a right-hand lane on a left turn. Lane changes are property maue wunin me boundaries ot the block, not in the intersection. ' Bad accidents can easily come about throuirh i-iilim fn low the rule. Stay in the proper lane or, sooner or later, some one is going 10 oe nurt. Out on the Farm By Ila S. Oram Nov. 21 The mountains have so many moods. Yesterday Ihcy were nlniost hidden by fog. Willi just the tips peeking through the vaporous, blanket at breakfast time. Just before noon tnev emerged, pale and delieate, but by mid-afternoon they were en veloped again. In the evening we drove to town to buy seasonings tor the sausage we had mude. Evening visitors had helped turn the crank on the big meat grinder, and while We visited, we wrapped the1 chops and roasts and labeled the. paekages to go in the locker. i The drive home through the fog was high adventure, J-amiliar landmarks were hidden by the billowy mist, and sometimes we had to open the door to see the road. When we got home ve fin ished the sausage and wrapped it. Ibis morning the Chief tried a couple of patties for his break fast, and while the cooking was going on, the aroma of the spices was simply tantalizing. Tor 15 pounds of meat, we used G table spoons of salt, 5 tablespoons of rubbed sage, 3 tablespoons of ground pepper, 2 teaspoons of ground cloves, 1 teaspoon of gar lic salt and 1 teaspoon of celery salt. A little dry mustard would have been fine, but we didn't think of it. One of these days, we'll have barbecued sparcrnis, as tasty a dish, as you can imagine. To' fix them, I cut four pounds of spare ribs into serving portions, place in a roaster and sprinkle lightlv with sail and pepper. Cover with 3 onions, sliced, and add a barlw cue snuee made with the follow ing Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worces tershire sauce. 1 tahcsoon salt; 1 teaspoon paprika. ! teaspoon red pepjier, Mi teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon chill powder, it cup catsup und cup water.

Haste occasionally, turning spare ribs once or twice. Remove cover from roaster during the last l!i minutes of baking and brown the ribs. (Serves li.) November 24. At this place one of the men was discharged; and at the request of Mr. Perkins, a Chinook Indian, a lad of 19, ( who was extremely desirous to "see the whites," and make some acquaintance with our institu tions, was received Into the party, under my special charge, with the understanding that I would again return him to his friends. He had lived for sometime in the house hold of Mr. Perkins, and spoke a few words of the English lan guage. November 25. We were all up early, in the excitement of turn ing towards home. The stars were brilliant, and the morning cold the thermometer at daylight 26. Our preparations had teen finally completed, and today we commenced our journey. The lit tle wagon which had hitherto car ried tne instruments, I judged it necessary to abandon; ana it was accordingly presented to the mission. In ail our long travelling, it had never been overturned or injured by any accident of the road; and the only things broken were the glass lamps, and one of the front panels, which had been kicked out by an unruly Indian horse. The howitzer was the only wheeled carriage now remaining. We started about noon, when the weather had become disagreeably cold, with flurries of snow. Our friend, Mr. Perkins, whose kindness had been active and ef ficient (Hiring our stay, accom panied us several miles on our road; when he bade us farewell, and consigned us to the care of our guides. Ascending to the up lands beyond the southern fork of the TiiiiiiieiiH creek, we found the snow lying on the ground in frequent patches, although the pasture appeared good, and the new short grass was fresh and green. We traveled over high, hilly land, and encamped on a lit tle branch tif the Tinanens creek, where there were good grass and timber. The southern bank was covered with snow, which was scattered over the bottom; and the little creek, its borders lined with ice. had a chilly and wintry look. A number of Indians had accompanied us so far on our road, and remained with us dur ing the night. Two bad-looking 'fellows, who were detected in stealing, were tied and laid be fore the fire, and guard mounted over them during the night. The night was cold, and partially clear.

WILL COLLECT PLEDGE Prineville, Nov. 21 The Pio neer Memorial hospital associa tion, which last summer obtained a' judgment from a delinquent pledgor In a campaign held last fall, when an aggregate of $384, 000 was raised for a new hospital here, has announced that proceed ings have been started in justice court to collect . the delinquent pledge of $100 made ' by Dale Kitts. , WASHINGTON COLUMN By Douglas Larsen (NtA Suit Correspondent) Washington ,(NEA) The 25, 000 people of the Virgin islands may get a governor from among their own number if President Truman continues his recent pol ipy in dealing with America's Is land possessions. The 50 islands, of which only three St. Thomas, St. John, and St. Croix are inhabited, were bought from Denmark in 1017 to protect the eastern entrance to the Panama canal. In 1927 Virgin islanders became citizens of the U. S. In 1936 con gress allowed them a local legis lative system. When he appointed their most recent governor, Presi dent Truman chose William H. Hastie, a Negro lawyer, since about 90 per cent of the islanders are of Negro descent. In elevating Governor Hastie to the bench of the United States court of appeals last month the highest judicial position ever held by a Negro the president open ed the way, so the islanders hope, for the appointment of a native son as governor. Two Virgin islanders are being considered for the post. One, Mor ris de Castro, is now acting gov ernor, and has been endorsed by the legislative assembly. De Cas tro is not strictly a native, as he was born in Panama, but he has lived in the islands most of his life. He Is white. ,e The other candidate is James A. Bough, born 44 years ago on the island of St. Croix and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Colum bia university and Columbia law school. Bough went back to the islands on graduation and became law clerk to the lieutenant governor. In 193S President Roosevelt ap pointed him United States attor ney for the Virgin islands, the highest position to which a native hftd at that time been appointed. He held that job for 10 years until Dr. Ralph Bunche, head of the United Nations trusteeship di vision, sponsored him as chief of the Caribbean section of the u. N territories division. In this posi tion he has been conducting U. N. studies of all the non-self-governing islands in the Caribbean area, Bough is a Negro. them Negroes, to whom the dem ocratic party is Indebted. Loren Miller, an attorney of Los An geles, is one of them. He was one of the lawyers who won the su preme court decision which held that restrictive covenants oarring property sales on account of race are unenforceable. e e A group of former new dealers is said to be seeking the appoint ment of a "Tugwell-type" gover nor. They believe that a man of the characteristics of Rexford Tugwell, former governor of Puerto Rico, Is needed to develop the islands before a native gov ernor is chosen. Observers give this group little chance of suc ceeding. . One bar to the appointment of a native governor is the fact that people of the islands have no voice in Washington. Unlike Alaska, Puerto Rico and Hawaii, they are not represented In con gress by a delegate. But they are hoping that Presi dent Truman, who appointed the first native governor of Puerto Rico, Jesus Pinero, and sponsor ed a law which now allows Puer to Rico to elect Its own governor, will again follow the policy of promoting self government in American possessions. Unlike Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico, the Virgin islands are too small for their people ever to aspire to statehood, They are probably destined always to remain a "possession." Neverthe less the people aspire to as much democratic self-government as, that status will allow. What they fear is that with no voice in congress and no political influence, the office of governor will continue to be used as a re ward for state-side politicians. HIGH TIDE PROVES DUD SeaBlde, Nav. 21 u A peak high tide Sunday was a washout. Thousands thronged this beach resort to see what was billed as the highest tide In two years 9.9 feet. It was reportedly one of the glassiest seas ever seen on the Oregon coast and wafer edged within 200 feet of a beach roud turn-around. The lowest tide of the year, minus 1.9 feet, followed, to the excitement of the clam diggers. ' FOG CONTINUES Portland, Nov. 21" u "pea soup" fog for the fourth consec utive night rolled "down" the Willamette valley last night, clos ing airports and slowing auto traffic to a crawl. Salem and Eugene airports were fogged in and Portland-Columbia closed up at midnight. MECHANICAL "BRAIN" Washington, Nov. 21 ilPi Boe ing Airplane Co., Seattle, Wash., has developed an electro-mechanical "brain" which can chart the flight of guided missiles before they leave the ground. It said the delicate machine records every waver, dip and spi ral in the missile's motion in a simulated flight.
