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?
