NINE YEARS OF GOOD WORK!
With the resignation this week of H. L. Claycomb
as chairman of the July 4 celebration committee, Ash
land loses the leadership of one who has spent days
and months of unselfish effort toward building what
has grown to be a southern Oregon and northern Cali
fornia tradition—our annual Independence day cele-
cele
brations.
Claycomb s resignation comes on the upbeat of his
greatest success, the 1939 three-day observance, which
drew an estimated 18,000 people to this city. Herschel’s
rodeo—his personal brain-child—was the most out
standing accomplishment and doubtless will and should
be made a permanent feature.
Too often the chairman and the dozens of other
civic-minded committeemen who help stage the annual
show hear more criticism than compliment. Many sit to
one side while the work is being done to save their
energy for kibitzing and thereby make a hard job
more difficult. Nine years of relentless effort on the
part of Claycomb are deserving of community-wide
appreciation and applause.
Surely among those who have worked closely with
Claycomb are other leaders who can and will take his
place successfully, but they will have a high mark to
shoot at.

DEFEATING THEIR OWN PURPOSE!
A large majority of strikes during recent months
have left a bad taste in mouths of most people, but the
recently attempted WPA demonstrations have been a
new low in disgusting exhibitions.
Inaugurated as a Svop-gap for unemployment and
as a means of preventing hunger and suffering in
families whose breadwinneis were out of work, strik
ers against WPA apparently have reached the point
where they believe that federal succor is their right
and that they are justified in dictating the terms.
Fortunately not many WPA beneficiaries have
struck, but those who have been biting the hand that
feeds them have given a black eye to the entire or
ganization. Demonstrators have displayed a wholesale
ingratitude which lowers them in the general estima
tion of the public and it would not be surprising if the
strikes, rather than helping the plight of those on re
lief, will embitter many who felt compassion for the
unemployed.
Striking against a beneficent government is a poor
way to help one’s self and the gesture surely will de
feat its own purpose. WPA relief was given as an
emergency aid, not a vocation.

KEEP WAR AWAY FROM HOME!
Of course America wants to keep out of European
fighting if such isolation is at all possible and practi
cal and, we suppose, such might be congress’ object
in delaying neutrality legislation.
Assuming that the love of peace and not hatred
of the President was the underlying cause of congres
sional stubbornness, the present situation still leaves
much to be desired by those who would not be drawn
into other nations’ battles, for the best way to stay
out of them is to help prevent them from occurring.
The do-nothing policy, as exercised by the present
arms embargo, is comparable to the stand-aside-and-
let-’em-kill attitude of law enforcement officers at a
mob lynching. Doing nothing often is tantamount to
helping the ruthless, and that is a position which Mr.
Roosevelt has been trying to avoid.
Surely it is more godless to say that wholesale
murder and international lawlessness is none of our
business than it is to make a sincere effort to dis
courage wanton aggrandizement. And certainly it must
be the better course of national defense to hobble the
war god now than to placate him when in full stride.
If war should result regardless, then who can say
it is not wiser to fight on foreign soil than to mess up
our own countryside and suffer the slaughtering of our
own civilians? The farther away we send our soldiers
