A VICTORY SANS GLOATING A victory which probably foreshad ows a. complete change of political com plexion two years hence has failed to elicit any unseemly gloating or shout ing in republican ranks. The victory has been taken as a matter of course and is not being allowed to divert the people's atttention from the most im portant job at hand, that of winning the war. A bit of , partisan jubilation is per missible, even in these times, but the tendency to accept the verdict of the voters to put more force into the war effort and for the time being to put an end to political machinations which have been hindering an all-out effort. Every one of the newly elected govern ors, senators and representatives, as well as lesser officials, pledged com plete cooperation with the President in advancing the cause of our Allies and ourselves. This pledge was solemnly repeated after election, for every man realizes the seriousness of the present crisis and the threat to our freedom and way of life and that his winning is not merely a political victory but a privilege to serve in the hour of peril. Happy? Certainly! Republicans have been getting it in the neck pretty reg ularly the past 10 years and it can't be said that their opponents were alto gether charitable. But the GOP has withstood the gaff and learned a les son from it. There is an opportunity for real statesmanship and the success ful candidates have shown a capacity for it in their attitude directly follow ing a most satisfactory election. -o- A CHANCE TO PARTICIPATE IN SOLDIER ENTERTAINMENT This is, November, the month when we Americans observe one of our most treasured national traditions. Harvests are completed and towards the end of the month we will prepare a feast of thanksgiving for all the blessings that have been bestowed upon us during the year. It is a happy occasion too often carried to extremes, and far be yond the objective of the originators of the plan, yet we are able to adjust ourselves to the spirit of the times and observe it fittingly. We now are at war. Millions, of our young men are in arms, some at the front, others in training camps. Many of these boys will have no opportunity to eat Thanksgiving dinner at home, or with relatives or friends. Theirs will be a camp dinner, admittedly good enough, but lacking the warmth and homelike, atmosphere to which they have been accustomed. Feiw of us real ize the lift to a soldier's morale result ign from a visit in a good American home. If we did we would make an ef fort to have one or more of them in occasionally for a week-end or for a meal and a visit. Such an opportunity presents itself at this time, or doubtless would if taken up immediately. There are soldiers in this area and if our readers want to do their part in bringing cheer to a few of them, now is a good time to speak up and put in a bid for some Thanksgiv ing clay guests. Other tcvwns of the. area already have laid plans to care for one fighting men. The army is providing two trucks to convey soldiers who have been invited to La Grande for that day. Doubtless, the same transportation would be provided for boys invited to Morrow county homes if the matter were taken up with officials in time. Will not some of our civic organiza tions take the lead in this matter and start the ball rolling to give 20 or 50 of the soldiers a real Thanksgiving in Morrow county homes? o : WE CAN SETTLE DOWN Now that election is over and the cjuestion of who will serve us in offi cial capacities is settled we must settle down to the grim business of winning the war. The campaign lacked punch of previous election periods, due large ly, we think, to the overshadowing in fluence of the war. Yet it reminded us that this still is America where free men and women have the right to ex ercise their choice of leaders and at the same time served warning to Hitler et al that efforts to divide us are futile. True, there is a conflict of opinions at election time and these sometimes lead to misunderstandings and even enmity, but once the election results are known the civil war ceases and we accept the will of the majority. That's a privilage of living under democratic rule and something the dictators either cannot or refuse to understand. Just ahead of us is Armistice Day, reminding us of another world strug gle, 'a war to end war." We know it failed in its objective, but the 11th of November holds significance to millions of American soldiers who stood ready to make the supreme sacrifice to create a world of free men. There may be no inclination to celebrate Armistice Day this year but there is no reason why fitting observance should be dispensed with. Thanksgiving week usually witness es the opening of the Red Cross fund campaign. Advance information is, lacking on this. There is no lack of pressure for funds of one kind and an other and right now Morrow county is called upon to subscribe $600 for the USO. In the meantime, Uncle Sam wants your -money and is offering a good type of investment in War Sav ings Bonds. You may buy these any time at the bank or the post office. The only thing "Uncle" wants you to re member is to do it frequently. ST.

IF NOT USED TOO OFTEN A certain restaurant owner in a large city partly solved the dish washing phase of his labor prob lem by substituting . paper plates for the ordinary serviceware. Which would have been well and good had it ended there. But soon the state department of agriculture received complaints that customers at this place were being served on paper plates that bore marks of previous use. Investigation was made and the amazed field man soon informed the restaurant proprietor that state sanitary regulations don't tolerate trying to stretch the normal life of a paper plate.
