It s a Nice Place, They Said In Their Talking
Most of the stern virtues we
were taught are very unpopu­
lar.
T T W N
Now look, its almost Thanks­
giving. Time to wind up the
year, do those things necessary
to 1952 and plan for another
year to come. It is our national
feast day and feast days used
to be particularity valuable in
the days when people were lean,
from harvest overwork. Thanks­
giving did not originate as a
feast day; it was a day of,
thanksgiving for the ability to
feast. The Pilgrims were happy
th at the Almighty had made
them prosper so they had plen­
ty and could eat their fill w ith­
out fear of w inter hunger. W hen
we have suffcient for ttyat itj
seems that we might find) some
thing else, perhaps not physical,
for which we could give thanks.
T T W N
Phil Brogan has been granted
a degree from the U niversity of
Oregon after 30 years. We sus­
pect that the victory of getting
it is much greater th an the
degree itself. His already won
success indicates the useless­
ness of degrees.

At th at w e’d as soon have
politics on the front page as the
m urders we are in for now.

Some one w ith
money to
spend« is raising a fund to have
Adlal Stevenson jnake a broad­
cast once a month about the
Iniquities of the Republicans.
Don’t w orry, some one will
take care o f that.
T T W N
This is the period of the bien­
nium when legislators talk about
a short session. W ith ever pre-
ent taxation, a whole new code
of laws, highway legislation and
the usual run of perennial bills

We are tru ly surprised that
more money w asn’t made in
betting on the election. So many
seem to know why Eisenhow er

all along how it was going to

The Oregon
budget is re­
ported to be $210,000,000.
