The Sun Came Out
Back in the Midwest it’s storming, snowing, sleeting,
and the folks are keeping inside. Only those whose du­
ties require that they be out in the storm are leaving
the warmth of their firesides.
Men and women are dying from exposure and cold.
Storm on the Great Lakes freezes sailors to death.
Storm on the Nebraska prairies isolates automobilists,
and the drivers and passengers have to be rescued.
Here in our little valley it rains, and then the sun
comes out and spreads its warmth over the hills and
the valley and the people continued their usual rounds.
Some few’ appreciated the God-given climate of this
region, most of those who felt the warmth of the sun’s
rays accepted the gift as being only a normal event.!
And so it was, just a normal event in the pleasant cli­
mate of the Ashland Valley.
Enterprise
Each day the waste which is burned by the mills in
the Ashland area would heat half the homes in the
valley. Each day waste products are burned which
would support a dozen small industries and a dozen
times a dozen people.
There is a way to turn that waste wood into prod­
ucts and jobs. Frank Thompson has a friend in an­
other Oregon tow’n who has already indicated that the
old spirit of American enterprise isn’t dead.
This friend of Frank’s is an enterprising young fel­
low, strictly in the American tradition.
He talked one of the mills into letting him select from Ashland Hi

The China Question
The people of this nation are going to be affected un­
to the sixth and seventh generation by the action of
our government in regards to the situation as it exists
today in China.
For many years now we have been assisting Chiang
Kai Shek and the Kuomintang. It is questionable as
to just how much of this aid has found its way to the
actual aid of China. A lot of it has aided some of the
honorable gentlemen w’ho surround Chiang to line
their pockets.
Be that as it may. Squeeze is an old and honorable
Chinese custom. We could have avoided it by utiliza­
tion of American personnel in advisory capacities to
the Chinese government. This could have been done
on the basis that after all it was American money
that was being spent, and that the manner in which
it was spent was subject to American inspection.
That is now water under the bridge. Tomorow is

here. What happens in China will affect our nation

There is today a crisis in China. The Communists
control more people today in China than there are
Americans in America. The fight which is being waged
by Chiang Kai Shek is in reality our own front line

that Russia will extend its boundaries 3000 miles near­
