There's Always The Weather It
When all else fails we can always discuss the
weather. And the subject is quite timely as of this '
moment. We got up to a light covering of "tap
ioca" snow hardly enough to color the land
scape then in turn have witnessed rain, snow,
sleet and, up to the hour of writing these few
lines, a near clearing of the skies. The result of
all this has been to acquire moisture, lots of it.
The precipitation up to this time has been almost
16 inches for the year. It is possible to exceed
that mark before the year is out.
The extent to which the rain-making effort'
has affected the precipitation is unknown. We
have experienced wet seasons before when. there
was only Nature to depend upon. The similarity
of past and present seasons is such as to warrant
the belief that Mother Nature is still caring for
her own.
It's Becoming A Habit
Capturing the Ford Motor Company's Four
Letter Award is becoming a habit with the Rose

ficient proof of the stability of the local concern
that other dealers in this district will have to
extend themselves if they are to gain the recog
nition and wrest the honors from the Rosewalls.
To attain this award the dealer must be "tops
in finances, tops in management, tops in spirit,
and tops in facilities", to quote from a Ford Mo
tor Company official. To be all of these things,
the dealer must be willing to work, to be able to
look ahead, to have faith in his community and
his business, and to possess that rare quality of
leadership that inspires confidence in his em

The oAmeri'can Way
THE AMERICAN
By MAURICE
(Editor's Note: Maurice R.
Franks is President of the Nat
ional Labor-Management Foun
dation and Editor of its official
publication, PARTNERS.)
The Masonic Chronicler of
September 16, 1950, named 16
basic principles of the original
American political philosophy,
which until recently have been
accepted as the essence of "The
American Way" of life. The pol
itical and economic rights which
protect the dignity and freedom
of the individual, listed by the
Chronicler, are as follows:
"1) Right to worship God in
one's own way.
"2) Right to free speech and
free press.
"3) Right to assemble.
"4) Right to petition grievr
ances.
"5) Right to privacy in our
homes.
- "6) Right to habeas corpus
no excessive bail.
"7) Right to trial by jury in
nocent till proved guilty.
"8) Right to move about freely
at home and abroad.
"9) Right to own property.
"10) Right to work in callings

These principles should be
read not. once but several times,
and pondered upon. They are
not just theories, untried and
unproven. They are not "isms"
that reflect the views of certain
classes or minorities. They can
not be twisted or changed to
suit the caprice of those who
would foist socialism upon us.
They are, instead, the princi

in their great wisdom, wrote in
to that glorious Constitution of
ours, by which the freedom of ev
ery man is guaranteed. They

Bring In the Best Brains
Robert Kazmayer, the well known lecturer and
writer on national and international affairs, re
cently said: "While there is yet time U. S. public
ought to clamor for an equivalent of the Hoover
Commission to study U. S. foreign stiuation, to
bring the best brains of the nation into one
group, Hoover, 'fearuch, MacArthur, Eisenhower,
Taft, six or eight men, to pool their knowledge
and experience, decide on what U. S. must do,
what it can do, limits beyond which it probably
can't go, what it will take to get out of the drift
ing, improvising to meet emergencies, to get over
onto offensive, with Russia on defensive."
In more or less normal, peaceful times, it is all
very well for the country to be run on the old po
litical basis. But when we are faced with the aw
ful question of actual survival, the party label a
man wears is as unimportant as the color of his
tie. All that matters is whether he has the intel
ligence and experience to help save his country
and its freedoms during one of the most crucial
periods history has known.
It is evident to everyone that Russia has been
gradually attaining her world objectives which
is tantamount to saying that she is winning a
war, whether it be hot or cold with almost no
expenditure of her own manpower and resources.
The problems we face are incredibly difficult.
Yet some sort of a solution to all the unanswered
questions must be found and Mr. Kazmayer's
suggestion is a fine one. A commission .of the
best brains we have, regardless of politics or oth
er such minor considerations, was never more
sorely needed by our beleaguered country.
ance and found wanting"; they
enabled this nation to attain an
economic, social and political
stature that is the envy of the
entire world.
There are those among us who
"look down their noses" at our
Constitution. They claim it is
out of date, a relic of the "horse-and-buggy"
and "candle" days.
They say that times have
changed since Benjamin Frank
lin and his colleagues drew up
that immortal document; that
science and invention have so
limited space and so nearly wip
ed out time that the old rules,
the old traditions, the old prin
ciples no longer apply.
These poor, misguided souls
advocate "one world," and
"world government;" they would
have us renounce our nationality
and, abandoning our rights and
liberties, merge ourselves polit
ically, and socially with all the
other nations of the world.
They are glib. To the unthink
ing individual their arguments
have a ring of. plausibility. But
the truth is, the rest of the world,
the best of it along with the
worst of it, never has caught up
with the social, political and in
dustrial progress the United
States has made. This is not due
to our being smarter than the
peoples of other lands. Our am
azing progress stems directly
from the political philosophy
upon which this nation was
founded a philosophy which
declared that each individual in
it should be, must be, is free.
Please read those sixteen ba
sic principles again and again.

Complete Civilian
Defense Plan Is
A complete civil defense plan
is being drawn up because of the
gravity of the international cri
sis, Oregon civil defense leaders
announced today.
This new plan will be ready in
a few days. It will outline exact
ly what regional, state, county
and local agencies are expected
to do in an emergency.
Civil . defense leaders are
meeting today in San Francisco
to work out mutual aid agree
ments whereby California, Wash
ington and Oregon would help
each other in case of attack.
This agreement will cover law
enforcement, firefighting, medi
calcal aid and transportation,
such as sending heavy rescue
equipment to a stricken area.
Those attending this confer
ence from Oregon are Governor
Douglas McKay State Civil De
fense Director Louis Starr, and
State Health Officer Harold M.
Erickson.
The basic Oregon plan will co
ver every phase of civil defense
operation, including mutual aid.
More than 400 experienced
welfare workers have been sign
ed up for quick assignment in
event of a disaster.
State police, and county and
local law enforcement officers
will meet in Salem next Tuesday
to work out civil defense prob
lems as they affect law enforce
ment. The meeting, called by
Starr, will hear Governor Doug
las McKay and defense experts
tell how police officers can help
out.
O.S.C. Given $4,000
Grant For Cancer
Rsearch Project
Research on the relationship of
a body chemical, nucleic acid, to
tissue growth and cancer is be
ing conducted at Oregon State
college by Dr. E. J. Dornfeld, pro
fessor of zoology, under a $4,000
American Cancer society grant,
Nucleic acids and related
body chemicals are 'vitally con
cerned in growth processes of
celis, Dr. Dornfeld explains
Since cancer is a form of abnor
mal growth, the zoologist is int
erested in learning more about
these substances. Developing
rat ovaries are used in the re
search.
Dr. Dornfeld says that nucleo
tides are formed when nucleic
acids break down. When added
to the growth mixture they were
found to restrain cell division
This opens up a new possibility
to halt the spread of cancer, Dr,
Dornfeld explains. He adds that
evidence suggests that x-ray
treatments for cancer involves
the production of such growth,
blocking nucleotides.
Work along this line is now be
ing continued with special at
tention to other compounds re
lated to nucleic acids and to the
proteins and enzymes associated
with them. Technical accounts
of these investigations will ap
pear in early editions of the Ana
tomical Record and the Journal
of Experimental Zoology.
When a socialist friend "bends
our ear" with his cock-eyed plans
for reshaping mankind, figure
just which of the sixteen you
are willing to give up. You'll find
there is not a single one you
would relinquish. Tell him to go
peddle his wares to Joe and his
pals at the Kremlin.
