HARRY K. BROOKS
In the years in which Bend emerged from the village phase
to take its place with the cities of the state, in the years of its
sensational early growth and its following steady, sound de
velopment, there has been ever in operation the factor of a
strong manufacturing industry. Natural resources determined
that the industry should be the milling of pine timber. Bend
was fortunate in this and fortunate especially in the charac
ter of the companies which undertook the development of for
est resources here. Their officials both formed and reflected
this character. Constructive interest in the community with
which they had cast their lot and at the same time a consistent
policy of non-interference in community affairs have been
noteworthy from the start.
Of the officials whom we have mentioned, Harry K. Brooks
had been in and of Bend from the beginning of operations by
the Brooks-Scanlon Lumber Co., now Brooks-Scanlon, Inc.
The first president of the present company, his holdings over
many years had been in important enterprises in various parts
of the United States and in Canada as well as here, but Bend
was his home and in Bend were his closest personal interests.
It was as he was returning from a winter vacation in Califor
nia that death came to him Wednesday at the close of a day's
drive.
So closely was his career linked with that of his father, the
late Dr. D. F. Brooks, founder of the industry which he car
ried on, that we are minded to repeat the comment regarding
the father after his passing in January, 1930. Of Dr. Brooks
The Bulletin said :
In the donth of Dr. D. F. Brooks a nationally-known figure
has been removed from the scene of action. He was known for
the far-reaching organizations which he had created and for the
magnitude of the operations which had grown under his hand
and for the excellence and efficiency of those organizations and
operations. 1
He was known, too, for his seemingly Inexhaustible youth.
Past his eightieth year, he wns still the directing force, the
guiding genius In the vast industry he had built. Until his last
Illness Tie was the active executive, and in addition to the general
aspect of his work, interested himself ln; a tremendous mass of
detail. In work, in constant activity, he found one of his greatest
pleasures.
Dr. Brooks was prepared by education and training for the
medical profession, as had been his father before him. But the
call of business was greater. The years that followed his young '
manhood proved the wisdom of his choice.
Many communities have felt his influence In the bringing of
industries and economic development. They have seen potential
resources transformed into wealth, and they have seen growth
in population and prosperity accompany the transformation.
Of these, Bend is one.
Under the father's tutelage, the son was prepared for the
responsibilities which, he was later to assume. How well he
discharged them may be judged from the fine record of the
industry which he administered here. Through it all there
ran the influence of the capable executive, nn influence of hu
man relations as well as that
acnieve tno best goals 01 productive ellicicncy. That this was
so well extended was the more remarkable in the fact that
Harry K. Brooks was by nature of retiring disposition. A shy
man, he had the handicap of the shy in forming quick, easy
acquaintances. But his friendships, perhaps for this very
reason, were firm and enduring.
We have said that his closest personal interests were in
. Bend. These took form in his planning for the continuation of
the industry which he directed,
as it had been for the past. 1 hey were manifest in his gener
ous participation in the hospital camnuign nromisinic better
medical care for the people of
were to De observed in nis early identification with civic activi
. ties. There were all of these things.
A successful industrialist, yes; but more than that, Harry
K. Brooks was a good citizen, a good friend and a good neigh
bor. In his passing Bend has suffered a distinct loss.
There's n new restaurant down Klamath way the Winema
and Dob Addison writes in his Herald and News column
that "A tour of the new Winema kitchen reminds the astute
observer of nothing else than a print shop. Same production
line, same makeup tables." In a good print shop, however,
there's one tiling lacking that you do find in a kitchen pi.
"Pie," do you say ? Oh, well. Have it your own way.'
Chief Tommy Thompson, of the Celilo Indians, is going to
Washington where he hopes to see President Truman. The
chief wants to protest encroachment on the Indian fishing
rights at Celilo falls. It would be a good time, too, to ask why
the CVA bill favored by Truman proposes a dirty deal for
the Indians.

Washington (NEA) How big
words can be used by politicians
to confuse the public is well illus
trated by a story going the
rounds in the Florida democratic
primary campaign. Rep. George
A. Smathers is in a nip and-tuck
fight there to take the U.S. sen
ate seat away from Claude Pep
per. Opponents of Pepper have
started a whispering campaign
against him,
"Senator Pepper," they con
fide, "is not only an extrovert,
but he also practices nepotism."
If passed along in just the
right tone of voice, this sounds
terrible to the average uracKer,
already badly confused by stories
of Washington "perverts" and
communism.
Nobody using this story takes
the trouble to explain, that an
extrovert Is merely a person
who expresses himself vigorous
ly, or that "nepotism means
giving your relatives a Job.
It will cost the U.S. govern
ment an average of about 59
cents a head to conduct the 1950
census. The total bill for count
ing about 151,000,000 noses is ex
pected to be about S90,ooo,uuo.
This includes cost of tabulating
and publishing results. The Job
has to be completed before Dec.
31, 1952.
Department of agriculture and
U.S. weather bureau officials
don't like to talk for publication
about dust storm possibilities in

reason is the ettect on larm cred
it. Any prediction that a particu
lar area is likely to have dust
storms this year, because of low
rainfall and lack of snow cover
last winter, will cause banks to
tighten up on their loans to farm

BiEeest off-the-record story in

There has been a lot of talk
in congress about keeping ques
tionable Immigrants out of the
United States. Senate Judiciary
committee, however, has recom
mended passage of a personal
bill, introduced by Sen. Harry
Cain of Washington state, which
would prevent deportation of a
woman whom U.S. immigration
service has been trying to send
back to Canada since December,
1948, The case involves Mrs.
Marie Yvonne Mueller. Depart
ment of Justice charges her with
overstaying a visitor's permit is
sued to her in 1933, and with' mor
al turpitude. Mrs. Mueller is the
fourth wife of Paul J. Mueller
and she has had four previous
husbands. Mr. Mueller is an im
portant labor union official in
Washington state, which explains
Senator Cain's interest. Senate
judiciary committee recommends
that deportation order be can
celled because Mrs. Mueller "has
been completely rehabilitated"
and because she and her husband
are "respectable, trustworthy
i people."

Plan for Union
Merger Approved
By Machinists
Washington, April 8 Ui An
other big union today got behind
the CIO's plan for an immediate
alliance and ultimate merger of
all anti-communist labor unions.
President A. J. Hayes of the
600.000-member International As
sociation of Machinists (Ind.) en
dorsed the CIO plan, and urged a
meeting "within the next month"
to develop a program to "imple
ment it.
John L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers gave his approval
yesterday.
A unified labor movement
with a powerful political arm-
was getting closer to reality.
The CIO recently proposed a
permanent joint committee to co
ordinate political and economic
activity and work for "organic
unity.
Lewis advised CIO President
Philip Murray that the UMW's in
ternational officers would "rec
ommend" that its executive board
"authorize participation in the
committee.
Lewis' boost to the CIO plan
came on the heels of a more cau
tious, but nevertheless concilia
tory, statement from AFL Presi
dent William Green.
Green said the chances of an
AFL-CIO merger are the best in
six years, 'particularly in view of
the CIO's communist purge and
tlie unity sentiment among all of
labor's rank and file.
He said he probably will dis
cuss the matter with Murray be
fore the AFL's executive council
meeting May 8.

Mothers Aided
In Childbirth
By Potent Drug
ay raul i- . eiii-
(United Press Science Writer)
New York, April 6 Ui Curare,
a plant extract used by South
American Indians as a paralyzing
poison, has been used successful
ly to help mothers through child
birth pain, it was reported today
by two physicians.
The doctors, Leo J. Hart net t
and Harold J. Freiheit, of St.
Louis, concluded that the drug
can be used safely without harm
either to mother or baby if it is
properly administered.
Reporting in the Southern Medi
cal Journal, the physicians dis
closed that curare was given to
200 women at St. Louis City hos
pital and In private practice. The
drug was injected into the veins,
they said.
Curare, they said, "has increas
ed the number of spontaneous de
liveries, and reduced the amount
of anesthetic necessary to pro
duce analgesia and relaxation."
Valuable Adjunct
"It has proved to be a valuable
adjunct in operative obstetrics
both in reducing the anesthetic
requirements and the amount of
force necessary for such opera
lions." they said. "It did not
interfere with the normal forces
of labor and it appeared to be
harmless to both mother and
baby in the dosages and method
of administration prescribed."
The doctors said, however, that
curare "is not a panacea," and
that the drug could be abused
"both in indications for its admin
istration and dosage."
They further -warned: "Because
the number (of patients tested)
this series is insufficient for a fi
nal conclusion and because of the
inherent dangers of curare, it
should be used at present only in
those well regulated hospitals
wherein the services of a compe
tent and experienced anesthesi
ologist are available constantly."
The doctors predicted that "in
the future, probably a purified or
refined product of curare will be
available which will prove to have
selective action and less unde
sirable side effects."
Curare lias been a controversial
drug for some years. Some doe
tors recommend it for treatment
of polio. They believe that the
drug relaxes the muscles and re
lieves pain so that nurses can
massage the patient's muscles
more effectively. Other doctors
oppose its use.

Out on the Farm
By lis S. Grant
April 8 In song and poetry,
"tumbling tumble weeds" sound
like something carefree and per
fectly delightful. But on the
farm, the familiar Russian thistle
is anathema. The Chief has dedi
cated himself to the proposition
that all of ours must be exterm
inated, and this morning, he was
combing them out of the south
field with the hay rake.
The campaign against the this
tle started several days ago, when
the best friend I've ever had
showed up on Calico farm with
his pitchfork, and went to work.
I wasn't surprised a bit. I had
hinted broadly that the weeds ob
structed the view and were most
unsightly between Cambric
creek and the front fence. It was
the same technique I had used
on him 20 years ago, when I
was hankering for a sled. I can
remember how 1 sat Dy a win
dow forlornly watching a snow
storm and looking pathetic. It
was only two weeks until Christ
mas, but I got my sled that very
day.
Now that I'm getting action on
the weed-extermination program,
I think I'll try sitting in the liv
ing room and looking wistfully at
the south wall. Maybe a fire
place will suddenly materialize.
Last night we went out into
the field and raked up a big pile
of thistles for a bonfire. They
were a little damp, and burned
reluctantly, but flared brilliantly
and made a lovely sound once
they got started. The fire had
a woodsy sort of fragrance, and
the warmth was welcome. We
made move piles of weeds and
burned them, lighting each fire
from the dying embers of the last.
When the fires died down, the
sky was inky black, except for a
band of gold glowing in the west.
Lightning flashed occasionally,
flooding the heavens momentar
ily with unexpected bursts of
light.

The answers to everyday
insurance problems
By ANDREW FOLEY and
GORDON H. RANDALL
Insurance Counselors
QUESTION: Is there any kind
of insurance which covers par
ents' legal liability for dam
age caused by a boy while tid
ing his bicycle? A little neigh
bor boy rode out of his drive
way and ran into a woman
who was passing by. The boy's
parents offered to pay the
minor medical bills but the in
jured woman, whose nephew
is an attorney, has brought
suit for large damages.
ANSWER: This case Is another
in which Comprehensive Per
sonal Liability insurance would
give full protection. Not only
would the insurance company
cover the insured's legal lia
bility up to the face amount
of the policy, it would also
defend the suit against him,
saving him great expense. The
small premium for this type
of insurance is well spent.
If you'll .address your own
Insurance questions to this of
fice, we'll try to give you the
correct answers and there will
be no charge or obllgalloh of
any kind.
