R OAD BLOCK T H A T BLOCKS
H O S PIT A L D R IV E SPURS
Willamina was treated to an ex­
ercise recently that might be of
some consequence as a defense
measure to really work.
The TIM E S tells of a road block
which really blocked things for a
couple of hours.
Seems a truck driver who had
neither an operator’s nor a chauf­
feur’s license ventured across the
narrow creek bridge of local re­
pute. His truck broke a reach in
making the turn, spilling his full
load of logs across the road at the
end of the bridge.
The road block tied up traffic to
a depth of about three miles on
each side of the bridge. While one
hour was required to pick up the
logs, almost another full hour was
required to get the accumulated
traffic back to its normal pace.

enforce the words. In this will lie the full
story.
South Korea is a small, economically weak
political group. Its army, no matter how
valiantly painted as well-trained and disci­
plined, is short o f supplies and mechanized
weapons. Its airforce is woefully inadequate
against an invader armed with heavy tanks,
fast fighting planes and ample ammunition.
The United States has, with the coopera­
tion o f the British, significant naval forces
at its disposal. Its air force, largely based
in nearby Japan, is not too adequately
powered for the job assigned. And, while
the flow of words and bulging o f U. S.
muscles encourages us at home, we must he
realistic enough to know that to the South
Koreans the more tangible facts are enemy
bullets and the terrifyin g advance of tanks
and warplanes. Words, more the pity, bring
no relief to such a situation by themselves.
The challenge still facing us, now that we
have stuck out our chin and served notice
o f our impatience at trying to reason with
our chief antagonist, is the degree o f action
we will take to enforce our wctfds.
We cannot, having sd declared ourselves,
let the fortunes o f W ar go against South
Korea. We must accomplish our avowed
pur|K>se to stop aggression and bloodshed,
without too much dilly-dallying. The test o f
the situation lies only in the carry-through
o f our determination.
War, whether it is continent-wide or a
flatfooted-outbreak as in Korea, is regret­
table and lamentable. So much is wasted in
this generation after generation o f conflict
that it’s a pity Man’s ingenuity might not
think up a better substitute for the out­
lets o f human aggression and counter- ag­
gression.
The Korean situation is far from resolved,
as yet. And there is, as yet, no definite ans­
wer to the question, “ Is this World W ar I I I ? ”

WORDS W ITH O U T RESULTS
A severe test, o f the "N ow or N ever” var­
iety, points up the most glaring weakness of
the United Nations in its role as a major
force for World Peace.
The words o f this international body, with
its many councils and committees and com­
missions «n d speeches, are many and orator-
ically terrific. But when it come to keeping
the world of nations away from each others’
throats, the words are like bubbles that dis­
appear on first contact.
Inspired flights o f logic by many who
want to regard the United Nations with re-
snect and h o jie fu ln e H S have repeatedly em­
piasi
lasized the fact that, with all the planning
and the blueprinting for a world o f happi­
ness and peaceful prosperity, no means exist
for the U.N.
U.N to meet any act of aggression
or invasion.
Moral ami economic sanctions, if they are
given time to function to a full degree, are
potent. There is no denying this. But the
pace o f invasion, these modem days, is sw ift
and devastating. While super-statesmen and
international theorists mass for forensic
counter-attack, invaders may take over a
country, stifle opposition and boast a degree
o f “ Peace" which is the magic word.
In the formative days of the United States
o f America, when thirteen colonies edged
gingerly toward a union of states, there was
expressed a similar trend as marks the
United Nations. Each state-to-l>e favored the
advantages of union hut drew Itack at the
surrender o f sovereignty.
So today, without an executive branch and
an armed force to enforce its dictum, the
United Nations’ talk-house is a tantalizing
disappointment.
In the events which follows America’s
straightforward declaration, with the m ajor­
ity o f nations not only endorsing the tactics
hut offerin g some token o f m ilitary or other
assistance, the course o f the United Nations
faces a deliberate crossroads.
W'hen this Korean incident is resolved—
as it should be— steps might well be under­
taken to give the United Natio.is its neces­
sary implements o f force.
This might seem a most hopeful change
from the present custom o f many words
without m ajor results.
Builders are brought face to face with a
field o f planning which they must not neg­
lect in the future, with the possibility of
atomic explosions growing more and morej
possible.
This reminder is highlighted in the Au­
gust 1 release o f “ Effects o f Atomic Weap­
ons” , which will go on sale via the Super­
intendent o f Documents, Washington, D. C.
So much has been conjectured on aspects
o f atomic blasts, it might he that such a
volume will rank in the best-seller class.
Then again, on the basis o f contents, it
m ight point the way to a “ best-cellar” for
use in case of air raids.

R IPE IN SUMMER SUN
Now spreads before the eye, in trips
through the rural areas of the valley, the
poetic scene of hayfields newly mown. Piled
to cure in the hot sun before being carted
away to a nearby hay mow, the stacks are a
familiar token of energy and the rich earth.
Many a field we have passed when green
grasses waved at us. As they ripened to ma­
turity, they have been methodically harvest­
ed and now are on the way to feed the farm
animals throughout the winter.
These fields o f grasses are not entirely
rural, however. In hustling communities,
many a vacant lot, too, is heavy with tall
grasses which are now beginning to turn
brown. And as long as they remain unmo­
lested, these lots o f dried grass are a fire
hazard o f significant proportions.
There are laws on some city hooks which
list a penalty fo r not cutting such fields of
grass. But law or no law it is good common
sense to clear such spaces.
Some resort to burning while others more
laboriously cut the dr> grass or have it
taken care of. However it is done, the job
should rate a high priority.
Fire season now being in force, it is nec­
essary that a permit he taken out for burn­
ing. The nearest fire chief will be glad to
fill one out for you. He will also outline the
steps that are recommended for fire control,
to keep you from burning up the neighbor­
hood.
The lamentable thing about much of the
grass which grows untended— and unhar­
vested— is the loss o f winter food for an­
imals. Yet, with this already accomplished,
now it is necessary to take care o f a serious
fire hazard that has grown ripe in the sum­
mer sun.

We are a generation of wheels wheels
whose refinement succeeds to far outstrip
the wheels o f a generation before. Need we
seek an index to our times and our civiliza­
tion, the scientific and technologic status of
our wheels might well provide it.
Yet with all the significance of wheels, it
is indisputable we accept them with never
a second thought. Nor do we often reflect on
what the world would mean without them. I
The burdens o f mankind were first trails- (
ported in the arms or on hack, then with
one or another l>east o f burden. From this
developed the man or animal-drawn drag,
allowing heavier loads and longer distance.
Whoever first invented wheels might he
lost to knowledge. But his iden has grown
to such importance that we would truly he
lost were we to seek another means o f travel
or transportation without some reliance on
wheels.
Just consider the amount of business and
industry, saying nothing o f travel and rec-,
reation, which depends utterly on wheels.
From the hand-pushed earts to today’s air­
liners, the role of this phuse o f our existence
has grown steadily in importance.
The l>eginning is lost in the mists of his­
tory. Yet. through years o f pestilence,
floods, wars, depressions and miseries, this
fundamental idea which contributes so much
to Man’s mobility has continued and im­
proved until, today, it is stronger than ever.

The answers to everyday
Insurance problems*
By Leonard Adams
Q U E S T IO N ; Not long ago we
had a fire In our house and we
moved most of our furniture to
the home of a neighbor. It's just
an idea but I wondered what
would happen if the neighbor's
house had also burned. Would
we have been paid for our furni­
ture?
A N S W E R ; Yes. almost all fire
insurance policies protect the
owner of furniture against loss
for a period of five days after
the furniture has been moved to
a new location. After that. It
would be necessary to see your
insurance agent about keeping

A picked team of five chowder
clams, representing the city of
Seaside, was completely and deci-
j sively "snowed under” by a like
¡ panel
of
bivalves
representing
Long Beach, Washington, on a
j recent Sunday afternoon.
In the opinion of the SIGNAL.
| the local clams were either con-
I fused, temperamental or heavily
frustratod by the psychological
factors of the case.
The top Long Beach speedsters
took 13 minutes and 36 seconds to
disappear after being dropped on
the wet sand. One Seaside entry
was half-buried when a smashing
wave washed the sand away from
him and he had to start all over
again.
Another
contestant
fell
afoul the foot of a spectator and
came up a mangled mass.
A rematch on the big dig will be
scheduled later in the summer for
Seaside when chowder champs-
and chumps--will be weede out,
timed from the moment they are
laid on the sand until the last
neck disappears.
