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.

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?

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.

PAPER PLATES O. K. 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.
