Hard Reality Of Fact
Life grown continually more confusing in ita modern pace.
By some manner of recent tradition, if the supposed whims of the
populace demand a friendly label to a public act. that label must
be employed before acceptance can be hoped for.
One of the most mystifying designations popularly current is that
of a "liberal-conservative." What is "liberal" and what is “ conserva­
tive?” A general definition of the two words would seem to Indicate
that they are as different as black and white. Such a label would
seem to be the same as "wet-dry” , "wild-tame” , "soft-hard", or
"thin-fat.”
Now. the surprising thing about this "liberal-conservative" label is
that many who use It try to contend that It Is a definite designation.
That Is, the public figure of such a mark Itches liberal but scratches
conservative. And what It means Is anyone's guess. At least, you
can't condemn such a person as a liberal or a conservative, wholly,
if you only read his label.
Another bland assurance to the populace is the matter of political
activity. We have the current transcontinental junket of President
Harry S. Truman to point up this fairy tale.
Although he Is in the most doubtful position of his political life,
perhaps, facing serious revolt on all sides by the political satellites
who will or will not allow him four yeur use of his new White House
halconyT he’s play-acting in a world of make-believe. He studiously,
nonchalantly undertakes a trip through the headlines of the nation's
press as "strictly non-polltlcal,"
He lambastes his opponents, tears into the great wall of adverse
sentiment which looms up agulnst him. He does not deny to anyone
that he expects to be reseated in the big plush chair at the nation's
capitol.
Yet, so vigorously does he keep the illusion of the non-political, no
one In his entourage Is subject to the label of a top party strategist.
The President may be trying to prove something. But It would seem
somewhat more honest and more acceptable if he would shut his
eyes to his pet illusion and face the hard reality of the fact that
Is before him.
Lucky Stiffs Watch Out!
Summer seems to have Just suddenly leaped upon us and with the
realization of the warm days ahead Is the pleasant shadows being cast
by certain lucky stiffs who are planning one or two weeks away from
the grind of a daily job.
Vacations each year are fast becoming an established national insti­
tution. And well they should. The tempo of modern life exacts a
terrific nervous toll and the • tensions that build up over a year are
best released by an interlude of relaxatloon and recreation.
Yet, there is frequent overindulgence in the joys of vacation that
result in serious aggravations to health and happiness We have all
seen the miserable return of a fellow worker whose vacation so com­
pletely did him In that he was weeks regaining his normal ways.
Moderation Is a good rule to follow, beginning the annual holiday,
and it begins with a careful planning of time available. Obviously,
a motor trip that will require at least six days travel, at the minimum,
deserves two weeks overall planning.
In the matter of turning Nature Boy In a week or two, temperance
pays off. Those beautiful suntans should be gained by short doses
of sunshine, not all In an afternoon. The after-effects of a sunburn
are often dangerous as well as excruciatingly uncomfortable.
Yes, vacations are wonderful. The sheer pleasure of Just doing as
you like, playing at what you want, thumbing your nose at the
morning's strident alarm clock Is a well appreciated bonus after a
twelve month stint at the grindstone.
Yes, you lucky stiffs! You’ll be riding the crest of the wave for your
one or two weeks awuy.
But If you don't want your vacation to boomerang on you, you
lucky stiffs, watch out!

The network of competent wea­
ther stations throughout the state
of Oregon has been strengthened,
in Oregon City, by installation of
instruments to measure wind vel­
ocity and chart temperatures and
relative
humidity,
reporta the
BANNER-COURIER
The station, set up in the Clack­
amas fire department, has been
operating since 1946 but only be­
came an official U. S. weather
bureau unit last January. It also
operates as an official station of
the fire-weather bureau.
From the start, county firemen
made recordings three times a day,
using a barometer and wet and
dry bulb thermometers for estab­
lishment
of
relative humidity.
When Uncle Sam stepped in, the
crude equipment was replaced with
a cycrometer and other more ac­
curate means of recordings.
Last addition inludes an ane­
mometer, to measure wind velocity
and a hydro-thermograph to pro­
vide a continuous chart of tem­
perature and humidity conditions.
More accurate thermometers for
maximum and minimum tempera­
ture recordings and a gauge to
measure
Oregon’s greatest re­
source—rain—are likewise installed
now.
There are many related uses of
weather information and the net­
work, directed by the United
States department of commerce.
With one of the most serious fire
seasons expected, all data through
out the state will be anxiously
watched. Weather bureau units,
such as at Oregon City, will prove

week how he stayed so spry at
ninety. Pappy told him:
"W ell, sir when I work, I work
hard. When I set, I set loose. When
I think, I go to sleep.”

formula isn't far amiss. “ Hard
work.” saya Doc. "never wore out
anyone before his time, providing

Doc himself work* overtime,
with his daytime patienta at the

chats with the missus until it's
