Southern Oregon Miner, Thursday, January 4, 1945 SOUTHERN OREGON MINER Published Every Thursday at 167 Main Street, Ashland, Oregon Carryl H. & Marion C. Wines, Editors-Publishers Entered as second-class mail matter In the post office at Ash land, Oregon, February 15, 1935, under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Our Information Policy The ways of the Federal Government’s information service, the Office of War Information, or whatever agency it is that has the passing out of news, etc for the American public is some times wondrous to behold. A few monthe ago, we were led to delieve that the war was about over, our rationing restrictions were relax ed, and it would seem that we about had all of our en emies whipped down into a corner. Yet today, a few months later, we are back in worse condition than we were at the beginning of the war. Rationing is extended and even more severe, than it was formerly, and never a newspaper do we pick up now that does not have some general, seme big shot in Washington or somebody else, predicting that we are in for a long war, that we must tighten our belts even further, and a lot of ther such dope. Now are we really taking a beating with our armies in the field that our condition is actually much worse off, or what in heck is the matter? True we ave taken a setback of a few miles in the fighting on the western front, but if we guage it right, it is only temporary, an dour superior weight of men and material will carry the battle in the end. On the Pacific, we are winning, perhaps slowly and on te long, long road back to vic tory, we are surely not losing the battle. Perhaps this writer doesn’t know too much about the fighting fronts, and wer certainly don’t feel that we one of there so-called arm chair admirals, but we feel that we have a right to criticize our information agen cy. They certainly are not consistent in the news that is put out to the American public. Some of the mater ial we have recently read makes us wonder if we are going to win the fight at all. The people have recently been charged with thinking that the war was over, quitting their jobs, to return to civilian persuits, etc., but may we ask whose fault it is. It come right back to our silly censorship regulations, our information bureaus, etc. If we recall aright, in the last war the propaganda of this nation was badly muddled, that many of the things said during the war were later proven untrue. Appar ently the country has not found out since then how to do it any better. ★ ★ ★ The Holidays Are Gone Well this week, we return to normal again, with a full year’s work ahead of us. Yes, the Christmas holidays are over. And in spite of war time conditions, lack of our boys and girls away from home, it was pretty close to being a normal Christmas. Certainly no one in this country suffered for lack of Christmas presents, or for those things that make the Christmas time a pleasant season. For us here locally it could not have been better, the week end for Christmas and New Years were about perfect as far as weather could be concerned. To this editor and family it seemed little like Christ mas, due in a great measure to the fact that we have lived all our lives in a country where snow and severely freezing weather is the rule, rather than the exception. Here, where the weather was more like spring the past two weeks, it seemed little like Christmas. But w are thankful for such weather as Ashland has enjoyed the past two weeks. It is indeed, a welcome re lief from snow and wintry gales. ★ ★ ★ were passed out the hoys guve the gifts were distributed by Bar the prize package to Barbara. bara they all began to hollar ut "Wall, Miss Barbara, "began her. „ "You open yours first then us " Montana Its not much but we "Oh u lln g h t” she said tensingly all chipped in time, und woik, hope you’ll like it.

Yes, the airplane can bring peace as well as destruc tion. This country is fortunate in having an aviation industry second to none, which will never rest until the civilizing force of mass air transportation has had a chance to work for the good of all people.

Rickenbacker believes that just as the railroads were the foundation of the growth and unification of the states of our union, air transporta tion canbe the foundation of international unity and economic development. Already the airplane more than any other single in strument, has been responsible for the discarding of the extreme isolationism of prewar America. People realize that if there is another war, no spot on this con tinent will be safe from the ravages of super-bombers. They have also begun to realize that the airplane can do far more than make the terror of war world wide; it can help mightily to make peace world wide. In recent years American planes under the skilled guidance of pioneering American air-men, have opened up a global network of airways to the remotest sections of the earth. Silver-winged transports loaded with war materials soar over steaming, trackless jungle or leave vapory trails through frigid polar skies, with equal ease and regularity. No spot on the globe is more than hours by air from the center of the United States. Our pilots come home with intimate glimpses of life in other nations. Their friends are of every nationality. Their sympathies are universal. They see at first hand the superficiality of international boundaries. And in peacetime whe,n these pilots are permitted to carry civilians, their passengers will bring home the broad 1 .1 Yr. •TR UE STORY P A T H F IN D E R ____________ 1 Yr.
