Dallas Will Provide Cheer
For Needy Area Families
Dallas, Dec. 22 With Christmas just a day or two away, the
local cheer committee is busy completing plans for the distri
bution of baskets of food, clothing and toys to needy families
in the community.
The Knights of Pythias committee estimates that some 200
nprmns will have a more haDov?"
Christmas because of tne
sponse of the community to their
need. At present 40 families
are listed for visitation, and
children in the families run from
four to eight.
A liberal food package will
be put up for each family from
funds donated by Dallas resi
dents. G. Brandli, owner of the
Dallas creamery, is giving
pound of butter to go in each
gift package. School teachers
at their annual Christmas party
last week held their usual gift
exchange and instead of keeping
their presents, donated the en
tire lot, a huge box full, to the
Christmas cheer work. The
Dallas Business and Professional
Women took similar action Mon
day night.
Merchants' committee of the
Chamber of Commerce donated
a quantity of Christmas candy
to the work.
The Oakdale Friendly Neigh
bors club and the Cub Scouts
and Girl Scouts of Oakdale have
asked to be assigned a family
which they will provide with
presents and food as their Christ
mas effort.
The Christmas cheer commit
tee is composed of Ed C. Dunn,
chairman, Loren Chase, Earle
Richardson, Walter L. Young
and John A. Friesen, while Abia
Haas, representing the Salvation
Army, and Max McGlasson, rep
resenting the merchants, are
working with them.
Cash donations to the cheer
fund have reached $143, and an
other $12 the equivalent of two
food baskets will be given by
the ministerial association. Many
merchandise gifts are being of
fered by Dallas stores.
The Dallas heavy tank com
pany, Oregon National Guard, is
loaning a truck and driver to
the cheer committee to make de
liveries Saturday and Jake A.
Classen, school bus driver, has
again volunnteered to take his
car and service a route in deliv
ering packages.

Winter Halts
Log Operations
Dallas, Dec. 22 Snow in the
hills brought a shutdown to op
erations of Pope and Talbot in
this area, according to Charles
Greenwood, superintendent.
The operations will not re
sume until spring, he states.
Snow and ice make logging dif
ficult and hazardous. About 115
men are to be temporarily out
of work because of the shut
down, although a number of
them will seek work elsewhere
temporarily. The winter shut
down is customary practice
when weather makes work im
practicable in the mountains.
The closure affects both the
logging crews and those engaged
at the Pope and Talbot shops on
Ellendale road. Greenwood
stated that log inventory of the
c6mpany in the river is high.
The St. Helens mill will continue
to run throughout the winter.
Modern turkeys mature in
seven months although a couple
of generations ago nine months
were required.
Big Show for Stalin's Birthday
Puts Across Papa Myth to Reds
By JAMES MARLOW
Washington, Dec. 22 VP) Joseph Stalin, a pretty calm and un
sentimental citizen, must have been amused by the fuss over
his 70th birthday Wednesday.
It was probably the biggest birthday spread in history, with
tremendous loads of gifts pouring into Moscow from communists
and communist -run people all-
over.
Stalin made out better than if
he had won the grand prize on a
radio give-away show, although
some of the presents, like some
of the prizes, are things he can't
use: dolls, and socks that don t
fit.
But if Stalin had planned it
himself, and he's noted for his
planning, it couldn't have fitted
in neater with the line that Stal
in and his party comrades in
Moscow have been following for
years.
It's the myth of papa-knows-best,
the leader principle.
Increasingly through the years
the Russian communist party
has been deliberately building
up the idea in communist
countries, at least that Stalin
is a kind of miracle man. ,
It's done with pictures of him,
plastered all over Russia and the
satellite countries, and in
speeches and in print.
The pictures of Stalin, seen
everywhere and always present,
burn into the consciousness of
the communist-dominated peo
ple this one idea: Stalin, the
leader.
Which is another way of say
ing the people confronted with
that picture, everywhere,, every
day, are being conditioned into
accepting the idea of being led.
The Russian speeches and
publications further picture him
as the peerless leader, the great
est scientist, the greatest this,
the greatest that, the kindly
father of his people, the one man
who's always right, the wisest
of men, the best of men.
Reduced to its simplest terms,
that means: pappa, and pappa
knows best.
So the presents pouring into
Moscow were offerings to papa,
and each gift helped perpetuate
the myth of the all-wise Stalin,
the guardian and daddy of his
people.
This is fine for Stalin and his
inner-circle party comrades
since what they want is unquest
ioning obedience from lesser
party members and the mass of
communist-run people.
The Stalin group has gone
further.
It knows from history the in
fluence that can be worked on
people's minds if what they are
handed as truth has some ap
pearance of antiquity and con
tinuity. So in huge posters, for In
stance, the Stalinites put Karl
Marx, Lenin and Stalin side by
side. The lesson the pictures in
tend to teach is clear.
Marx, the theorist, charted the
road to communism. Lenin, heir
of Marx and man of action, put
into practice tne Marxian teach
ings (although plenty of people
think he perverted them). And
Stalin, heir of Lenin and spirit
ual grandson of Marx, is third in
the line of descent, carrying on
the grand tradition.
(That Stalin is really Lenin's
heir, or that Lenin wanted him
to be, is much disputed outside
Russia but not inside.)
But at least the Stalinites now,
through glorification of the
three as supermen, have given a
color of legitimacy to themselves
and authority to what they do,
since what they do is what they
claim is in keeping with what
the supermen intended.
To be sure the line of descent
is kept vivid in the minds of the
Russian people, the body of Len
in was embalmed to last a hun
dred years. When Stalin dies.
undoubtedly he'll be embalmed.
too, and be placed beside Lenin.

This Year It's Double
Christmas for Wanda
By MAC ROY RASOR
Austin, Tex., Dec. 22 VP) Two Christmases are coming for
March of Dimes poster girl Wanda Wiley.
The little crutch-aided polio victim, like most other children,
will enjoy Santa's regular visit December 25.
Then after that, on January 10, she'll leave on a long train
trip to New York and Washing-'
ton to meet the president and to
help boost the nationwide
March of Dimes campaign.
Gee, won t that be a wonder
ful Christmas?" she said.
Her pensive smile hinted at
her eight years. There's a new
gap where a front tooth used to
be.
Wanda was selected by the
National Foundation for Infan
tile Paralysis after foundation
president Basil O'Connor met
her in Warm Springs, Ga.,
where she was under treatment
for the lingering effects of her
polio last spring. She is one of
six children of Mr. and Mrs. Earl
N. Wiley of Austin and the
second of the family to suffer
the dread disease which has
staggered Texas with new rec
ord highs for two consecutive
years.
In braces and on crutches,
Wanda has been mvisured for a
complete new wardrobe for her
trip. The clothes are being made
in New York and are expected
by January 1 to allow time for
alterations if needed.
Meeting the president doesn't
seem to impress quiet, good-na
tured Wanda very much. But
just mention that train ride and
New York and the two dolls she
got while having pictures made
then Wanda's dark brown
eyes light up like Christmas candles.
Mother and dad won't make
the trip. They'll have to stay
home and take care of the broth
ers and sisters. Dad, a house
painter, also has some jobs that
have to be taken care of. Her
dog, two kittens, and a tame
squirrel have to stay home, too.
But Wanda doesn t mind too
much. She has been away from
home before without her family
since polio crippled her legs a
year and a half ago. She's glad,
though, that Mrs. Lewis Hatch,
executive secretary of the Travis
county polio chapter, will be
along.
Wanda's favorite hobbies and
pastimes are embroidering,
weaving, sewing doll clothes,
and working with leather.
During the 1949 season Okla
homa's football team led the
nation in rushing, and also had
the best defense against oppo
nents' rushing.
