The Uncertainties Of Life
Three prominent Oregon citizens, in the prime
ol life and with the normal expectancy of at
taining the proverbial three score and ten, set out
to enjoy a few hours of relaxation from official
and business duties in the great bird area of
Lake county. This morning searchers were re
ported within a short distance of the plane in
which Governor Earl Snell, Secretary of State
Robert S. Farre!l Jr. and Marshall Cornett, Klam
ath Falls business man and president of the
Oregon state senate, had left Klamath Falls to
fly to the Warner lakes area in Lake county
where the duck shooting is good. The distance
from Klamath Falls to Adel is not great as the
crow flies and flying time is less than one hour.
Yet In that short space of time tragedy struck
and Oregon was bereft of its three top political
figures.
As the first news came over the radio one
could only hope that the pilot, experienced and
careful Cliff Houge, must have found a safe land
ing place somewhere in that vast expanse of for
est The hours moved on and still no word. The
ominous silence turned hope to fear which latest
news dispatches confirmed. Shock and sorrow have
been visited upon four happy homes. An entiie
state is in mourning following this latest dem
onstration of the uncertainty of life.
Rest To Beat TB!
A visitation this week end from the mobile x
ray unit sponsored by the Oregon Tuberculosis
association makes a release on tuberculosis by
the association of particular interest The release
Is a folder titled, "Rest to Beat TB." Some thots
from this treatise may prove of benefit to those
of our readers who possibly may not have re
ceived a copy.
"A person who has tuberculosis needs rest
Rest is the one sure thing on which to build good
health again. There are no short-cuts, no magic
'cures.' Rest is the answer. Other things help,
but there is nothing else in the world that can
take the place of rest
"Rest for the body. Rest for the mind. Rest for
the , sick lung. Three-of-a-kind, all winners
against TB. The odds are all in favor of the pa
tient who rests.
"In the eraly stages, tuberculosis may not make
a person feel sick. It is a great surprise to many
people when a chest x-ray shows up the begin
nings of trouble "inside their lungs. They think
they are prfeectly well. Do they have any pain?
No. Have they lost any weight? No. Usually
they have no fever and, more than likely, no
cough. Perhaps all they notice is feeling a little
extra tired.
"But in those early stages TB is most curable,
if It is treated as soon as it is found and treated
long enough.
The treatment is rest Rest in bed. Rest in a
sanatorium. Complete rest, plus good food, fresh
air and anything else the doctor orders. When
TB is found late (after a person feels sick and
miserable and perhaps has a bad cough), it
will take much more rest and cost a lot more
money to get him well.
"Don't be too busy, too self-willed, too scared
to listen to your doctor when he says, "Rest is
what you need, right now." Why wait, why gam
ble, when a simple, easy thing like rest can
help you get well and back to what you want to
do?"
Much more good advice is contained in the
folder, advice that all should read, but there is
enough meat in the foregoing excerpts to prompt
every person to check in for a chest x-ray when
the mobile unit comes to town.
Objective Nearly Gained
Announcement Wednesday by Charles Luck
man, director of President Truman's food conserv
ation program, that savings already accomplish
ed in the program to provide more grain for Eu
rope has made sufficient progress to warrant
the prediction that the ban on certain products
may be lifted by the end of December is one more
proof of capitalistic efficiency when a demand or
urgent request is made upon the American peo
ple. If the progress has been made at the ex
pense of the American appetites it has not been
in evidence, for our people as a whole look well
fed. Many of us could well do without some of
the eating practices in which we indulge and in
so doing release quantities of good food material
for the use of peoples of other lands who find
themselves in constant want. A little thought
fulness on the part of each individual could eas
ily provide the answer to the European food prob
lem and at the same time remove the necessity
for any kind of a rationing program in this
country.
It has been said that what we Americans waste
would feed the rest of the world. That may be
an exaggeration, but any garbage collector will
tell you that the amount of wasted food hauled
to the dump yard is positively criminal. This is a
form of bad management, or carelessness, that
will inevitably lead to a crisis and in view of the
present world political set-up that won't be heal
thy for these United States. A little frugality
practiced in a time of plenty won't hurt us and it
will lessen the distance our pride will fall if and
when a crisis arrives.
It's funny that a burglar wouldbother to take
money from a safe when there was a locker of
big juicy beefsteaks right at hand.
From the number of names appearing on local
court dockets it would appear that Heppner is in
the throes of a crime wave. It does look a little
drab but conditions are not much worse than
common. We have an alert police force that's
all.
The principal concern of Heppner citizens this
week has been, "Where was I real early Monday
morning?"

OREGON CENTENNIAL
COMMITTEE
Governor Earl Snell this week
appointed a committee of 17 per
sons to promote plans for the
celebration next year of the 100th
anniversary of the organizing of
Oregon territory. The governor
said Oregon should invite Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and Wy
oming to take part in the cele
bration, since all or parts of
those states were included in the
territory when it was organized
in 1S48.
He suggested that, since the
American Pioneer Trails associ
ation will hold Its convention in
Portland August 13 and 14, the
centennial might be held in con
junction with the convention.
WESTERN GOVERNORS

Governors representing 11 far
western states, Alaska and Ha

States included in the conference
are Arizona, California, Colorado,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washing
ton and Wyoming, and the ter
ritones of Alaska and Hawaii.
SEES NO IMMEDIATE WAR
"It's time we begin to act like
we had won a war," Rear Admir
al Thomas L. Gatch, hero of the
last war, told his home folks in
a Navy Day speech in Salem
Monday.
"Stop being jittery. Worry kills
more people and nations than
any other one thing. We can lick
Russia and Russia knows it.
There is no danger of immediate
war as long as the United States
maintains armed forces of suf
ficient strength to keep the war
mongers doubtful of their abil
ity to win a shooting war," he
stated.
The admiral who has two na
vy crosses for heroism displayed
wnne ne commanded the South
Dakota said he had secured a
license plate for his automobile
that bore a number in the 440,-
OOO's, he remarked that there
were no proletariat in a country
where every family owns an au
tomobile. "Theres nothing ' in
Oregon for Stalin to work on,"
ne added.
VETERANS FOR EDUCATION
Twenty-two accredited Oregon
colleges have an enrollment of
12,860 veterans who are receiv
ing $65 or more a month, from
the federal veterans' adminis
tration, according to Charles
Langdon, regional director of the
administration. The enrollees of
nearly all of these schools are
double what they were in 1941.

The man who selects Curlee Suits
for his wardrobe this fall and
winter has the enviable satisfac
tion of knowing that he is smart
ly dressed and dressed right!
Nor do you have to look far for
the reasons. For nearly fifty
years. Curlee has specialized in
the production of fine men's clo
thing. Through this long experience.
Curlee designers hare developed
a sure touch lor style that is
modern etyle that is masculine
style that is smart without be
ing extreme. But style alone
doesn't tell the story. Comfort is
a quality to be desired by the
best dressed men and comfort
able, easy to fit and drape are
built in to every Curlee Suit by
Craftsmen who give meticulous
attention to every tailoring de
tail. Then there is the matter
of wear, which depends in large
measure on careful selection of
high-grade woolens, linings, and
inner materials; this is another
field in which Curlee's long ex
perience works for your satisfac
tion. Come in and see these Curlee
Suits for Fall and Winter. The
moderate prices of these fine
suits will, we feel certain, prove
an agreeable surprise.

able a war record as the division
itself. Its initial combat jump
was made at Gela, in southern
Sicily, with a follow up at Sal

came the first American unit to
liberate a French town during
the Normandy campaign.
This regiment is presently car
rying out detailed training in

qualified young men with am
bition will welcome the oppor
tunity to serve with this regi
ment in all its activities. The
recruiting commander reiterat
ed that any young American
seeking adventure and the
chance to better himself physic
ally and mentally should not
overolok this offer to enlist di
rectly into the 82nd Airborne Di
vision. Not only its battle record but
many other points should be kept
in mind, he pointed out. Airborne
troopers receive fifty dollars a
month in addition to the new
regular army pay and allowan
ces for length of service. This
pay is called parachute Jump pay.
There is also the opportunity to
develop individual skills in gun
nery, mechanics, communica
tions and other fields. USAFI
study courses are a favorite of
the regular army soldier and the
82nd Airborne boasts its share
of personnel studying these in
valuable courses.
Interested young men are in
vited to drop in at their nearest
recruiting office and read for
themselves the history and war
record of this crack division.
