AS THE YEAR ENDS
Today we break out a new calendar in readiness for the
beginning: of another year, toss the last leaf of the olil one
into the wastebasket, think for a moment on the jreneral sub
ject of resolutions and then put the thought aside as we real
ize that they can be made as well at one time as another and
that there is no likelihood that those enunciated now will be
any better or more binding than those made at any other time
of the year. We close the books on transactions for 1949 as
well as for the month because, after all, business must observe
certain set periods, and we check tentatively on income tax
possibilities for returns and paympnts will be due before long
both to the state commission and' to the collector of internal
revenue. Such things as these are, recognizably and annoying
ly, mileposts on the highway of time, but they have been set
there, more or less arbitrarily as a measure of time, in no way
affecting its passage.
That one year ends and another begins will have no bearing
on the flow of events that are manifestations of life. The prob
lems that we sought to solve have not been solved because
1949 was drawing to its close; the goals that we sought to
roach may continue to be glimpsed in the distance after mid
night has come and gone. The cold war of and against com
munism will make no reckoning of December 31 or of Janu
ary 1. The insidious advance of socialism in our own country
will pay these dates no heed. Overdrafts on government re
sources will continue to be made without regard for a new
calendar. Even the end of the fiscal year, which comes six
months from now, may have no noticeable effect on the fur
therance of policies founded on fallacy, fearful in their impli
cations for the future.
Yet, ingrained in the thinking of humanity, there remains
the belief that the coming of a new year somehow presents
new opportunities for good, new opportunities to do things
better than they have been done in the past. Regardless of
the fact that the same is true of any given moment, people
cling to this thought. At the stroke of 12 tonight bells will
ring, whistles and horns will shatter the stillness. Watch
parties and less dignified assemblies will welcome 1950, greet
ings will be exchanged, earnestly or hilariously as the occa
sion may be "A happy new year".
It is our greeting, also, and the wish is not an idle one. But
it will not come true of itself. Work and determined endeavor
may make it so. ,
Again Bend's location in the third census district results
in this city being picked as headquarters for the 10 year
federal enumeration which will be conducted in Deschutes,
Klamath, Harney, Malheur, Crook and Lake counties. In
making the choice effective, it was fortunate indeed that the
program of grade school construction had left a temporary
surplus of school rooms in one of the close in buildings offer
ing the opportunity for quick conversion to meet office re
quirements of the census bureau. School administration ac
tion granting this special use aided the chamber of commerce
endeavor to provide suitable qititrWrs. J "
The communist government of Hungary has ordered the
nationalization of all industrial firms employing more than
10 persons. Former owners, it is announced, will be given
employment according to their ability. An all-wise govern
ment through an all-wise bureau clerk will, of course, deter
mine what each man's ability is. All will be fine for govern
ment never makes mistakes.
Scientists have come up with the idea that it is a sense of
smell that brings salmon back to the stream and the place on
the stream where they were spawned. That can hardly be the
fact else more salmon would be coming up the Willamette by
Portland.

To The Editor:
On December 28 and 29 you

the same time, there was ice
skating both day and .night on an
outdoor skating rink and ice

and thawed only in the most
protected places during the day.

A new policy statement made president of Federated Depart-
by the C.E.D. says in one place
that the Un ted States in tnis :
coming period mav be a "garrison i the new report on "National Se
state." Not a "police state" nor a j curity and individual Freedom."
"welfare siate but a garrison i
state." What is meant by this is
that everything the government
does will be done in the name of
national defense and security.
And in this process individual
freedoms and liberties will be al
lowed to go by the board.
The committee for economic de
velopment started worrying about
this problem some 18 months ago.
C.E.D., it should be remembered
is not a government alphabet
agency. Its board of trustees is
made up of about 150 of the more
progressive big business men of
the country. People like Marion
B. Folsom of Eastman Kodak,
Beardsley Ruml of Macy's. Eric
Johnston of the movies. Philip D.
Reed of General Electric, Fowler
McCormick of International Harvester.-
Paul Hoffman of Studebaker,
now head of the Marshall plan,
and William Benton of Encyclo-
Ipedia Britannica, recently ap
pointed senator from Connecticut,
were prominent in founding
C.E.D. It steers away from the
straight National association of
Manufacturers and U.S. Chamber
of Commerce line, and tries to pio
neer new ideas.
In tackling this problem of the
garrison state, the C.E.D. did not
worry about how much it was
going to cost, where the money
was coming from, whelhcr thel

The particular dangers which
Mr. Lazarus points to as likely to

3. Government censorship over

of relations with other countries.
All these tend to create fear and
hysteria among the people, says
the C.E.D. report. ,
Three particular dangers which
a top-heavy national defense pro

burden of too-high taxes, weak

MORE MONEY ASKED
Portland, Dec. 31 an The Ore
gon welfare commission has vot
ed to ask the state budget director
and the emergency board for an
additional SS50.000 to $1,000,000 to
take care of seasonally unemploy
ed Oregonlans.
Administrator Loa Howard
termed the first three months of
1950 as "very crucial months."
She said the budget would have
to be adjusted or "we will have to
reduce our program in the
spring."
If extra money is granted, said
Miss Howard, it will come from
unspent funtls from the 1948-49
blennlum.

December- 30. After following
the itrcum tor a few hours in a
southeasterly direction, It entered
a canyon where we could not fol
low; but determined not to leave
the stream, we searvhwtl a pus
rtaue below, where we could re
gain It, and entered a regular nar
row valley. The water had now
more the npiearanco of fluw
tug creek; several time wo pas
sed groves of willow, and wo be
gan to feel ourselves out of all
difficulty. From our position, It
was reasonable to conclude that
tills stream would find lis outlet
In Mary's lake, and conduct us
Into a tH'tter country. We had de

very little snow. On both iltles,
the mountains showed often atu
pcntlous and curious looking
rocks, which at several plucca ho
narrowed the valley, that scarcely
a pass was left for (he camp, It
was a singular place to travel
through shut up in the earth, a
sort of chasm, the little strip of
grass under our feel, the rough
walls of bare rock on either hand,
anil the narrow strip of sky a
bove. The grass tonight was
abundant and we encamped in
high spirits.
New Year's day, 1844 We
continued down "the valley, lie
tween a dry-looking black ridge
on the left and a more snowy
and high one on the right. Our
roud was bud along the bottom,
being broken by gullies and Im
peded by sage, and sandy, on the
hills, where there Is not a blutle
of gn)ss, nor does any aour on
the mountains. 'Die soil In many
places consists of a fine powdery
sand, covered wlih a saline efflor
escence; and the general charac
ter of the country Is desert. Dur
ing the day we directed our
course towards a black cnic, at
the foot of which a column of
