DUNHAM TO THE OAA’A The new year already is stepping on heels of the old and none of us, indeed, will regret the succession. Few years could be less reassuring than the present one which throughout has carried an undertone of war and suffering, uneasiness and uncertainty. That America has successfully avoided most of the pitfalls of world conflict to date is apparent, but that she can long hold off an ever-increasing participation is doubtful. It even is doubtful if Americans are willing to make the concessions which continued escape from active participation will demand. Yes, the closing year will be wished on its way with little regret, for none could have held worse portend for the world. The new year will be welcomed, outward ly, with the usual noise and celebration but under neath, somehow, there will be less of the light-hearted abandon with which past twelvemonths have been greeted. There is an awful alternative always remind ing us. from over the horizon, that days of reckoning are ahead. Just as it is true that one’s personal course is shaped largely by the individual’s courage and deter mination is it also true that a nation's future is largely molded by the same qualities. It is to be hoped that Americans have the courage, the stalwart hearts to face the new year and make of it a brighter page in the world’s history. Surely the job can be done if we have the will to do it. Perhaps the year 1941 will offer us our greatest opportunity to serve mankind. Let us pray we meet the challenge. ★ ★ ★ PERSISTENTLY DO THEY CROP UP—OCR OWN BREED OF WOULD-BE APPEASERS! Senator Tydings of Maryland this week urged that the United States explore possibilities of a negotiated | peace between Germany, Italy and England. Though . his words sound noble, his logic is one of appeasement. Once a fight has been started, there must clearly be a victor and a vanquished, else nothing has been settled. Most notable proof of this conclusion is the last World war, which ended on a “negotiated” basis without the aggressor himself ever suffering invasion. A negotiated peace, at this time, could be nothing more than a backsliding by England and a triumph for appeasement that argues it is better to have profits than principles. War is a godless business and its suc cessful prosecution—yes, even wars must be successful once they are entered into—can come only from a fight to the finish. One side must be beat till it has lost ap petite for combat. And Americans are praying that that side shall be the one they feel is most responsible for the present reign of slaughter—the totalitarian. In the name of democracy and human welfare, as Americans possess the ability to understand them, aggression must die by its own weapons. The day is here when Senator Tydings, nazi-med- aled Lindbergh and all the other faint hearts can greatest serve through silence. Appeasement has wrought enough destruction throughout most of the world. It is time for men to fight while there still is something left to fight for, and while there still is some hope of winning the fight. • Ward Spindler of Sparks, Nev. is visiting here at the home of his father, Charles Spindler. • Mr. and Mrs. Tom Callahan are visiting during the holidays with relatives in Sacramento. • Jean Neil of Portland is visit ing here during the Christmas holiday at the home of her grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Loosley. • Dr. Bertha Sawyer is visiting with relatives in Klamath Falls during the holidays • Captain Charles Delsman and Lt.-Col.

Not only will it be an act of great thoughtfulness to accompany the mem ories of you as the years pass on but the expense is limited to a known amount by yourself, who should know better than any other how much ought to be used for this purpose. • • « GOODS.
