Despite these excellent reasons why congressmen might wish to go home for a while there are also some excellent reasons why they should have stayed on the job. As fighters against bureaucracy this congress has done better work than any since the advent o f this authority grabbing adminhdration. When congress goes home it mupt leave the power in th e hands of the bureaucrats who they have been trying to take power from for the past six months. The best way to build up the prestige of representative government is for the representatives to stay on the job in tim e o f stress This they should have done. WAGON8 WEST A little booklet, Wagons W est’ is being distributed by the Old Oregon Trail Centennial com mis sion. Written by Phil Parrish, R telle briefly the story of th e treks across the western plains to the green and fertile valley o f Oregon. Its brevity commends it for reading. For one reason it requires but little time. For a greater rea son briefly written historical sket ches often give abroader view than do more exhautive treatises. In an outline one can see the whole picture more plainly than if it be obscured by the greater detail of a longer work. The Oregon pioneers just drove across the .plains because they wanted to get out o f the eastern sta tes and go someplace elee. They had their troubles, their f i ghts, made their m istakes, died, were born, on the trip. We doubt if they considered them selves as heroes or especially brave people We moderns riding in our clos ed motor cars on smooth h ig h w ays can barely imagine th e hard ships of these fir s t wagon trips. We have heard men sco ff and My it w sa impossible for th e pio neers to cross rivers, when the fact is th ey started from Missouri and came to Oregon in a wagon and they had to cross rivers. They didn’t drive around them nor fly over them and ferries were few indeed. They forded them. Many of us in Oregon have never bothered to learn about the trip early settlers o f this state took to g e t here. Yet i t is a fin? story o f human effort used to overcome diffieultiee th at -required rvsouroefulnem. Whether the pio neers were ne’er do welle in the east or not, they were capable and resourceful men and women by the time they reached Oregon. The story is unique to th is state and to a leaser degree to Califor nia and Washington. In th is year o f observance o f the centennial of th at first trek m ight learn more o f these men The little booklet is a good start to further knowledge o f O regon history. we Our armies have i>een in Sicily long enou/h i to make it seem reasonable that the island will be taken with no major bat tles and comparatively few cas ualties.
