The Weather Tells Our Fortunes
That is the title of an article appearing in "Na.
tion's Business" for January. The magazine is the
official publication of the United States Chamber
of Commerce and as such is not given to treating
any subject lightly. The article was written by J.
D. Eatcliff whose journalistic reputation has been
built upon authenticity.
Ratcliff quotes some predictions made by Dr.
Raymond Holder Wheeler, faculty member of the
Babson Institute of Business Administration, at
Babson Park, Massachusetts, and head of climat
ic research for the Weather Science Foundation
of Crystal Lake, Illinois.
To quote a paragraph from the Ratcliffe arti
cle: "The future that Wheeler sees is at var
iance with the one pictured by amateur prophets
who forecast only doom. Wheeler has ardent sup
porters and, naturally, those who question his
conclusions. Still, the weight of scientific evid
ence is on his side. To be specific, Wheeler will
not promise us a business collapse in, say, 1963.
But he will predict that rocky going should occur
at about that time provided the world performs
in the future as it has in the past. He does not
say that the early '50's will continue to be a time
of international tension."
Wheeler's research indicates that "there is a
pattern in the tides of human events. More im
portant, he has collected mountains of data to
explain the pattern. His charts indicate that wars,
depressions, revolutions and other cataclysmic
events occur at evenly spaced intervals. Human
tastes change in the same sequence In one
period we like ornate architecture, in the next
severely plain buildings; in one we like complex
forms of music, art, literature, in the next the
simple and unpretentious; in one the state be
comes all-important and we have dictatorships,
then we shift to individualism and there is a re
vival of democracy."
Out of his studies, which have been verified
by other types of scientific research, Dr. Wheeler
has come forth with the following predictions,
"A Look at Tomorrow": Revolution will unseat
Russia's Communist government; China will be
come democratic, friendly to the West; A small
depression in 1952 and a major one in the 19G0's;
Washington's centralized power will break up,
the states regain lost importance; After 1952 the
chances for peace are good until about the year
2000."
There you have it. It is one man's opinion, 'tis
true, but an opinion based on scientific study
and not given for purposes of notoriety or in the
same spirit as prognostications of astrologers,
mediums or swamis.
An Ail-Out Effort
If most of us know anything we know that
each and everyone of us will have to pay his or
her share in the gigantic program of national de
fense. We will have to pay more than just dol
lars. We will have to sacrifice comforts; we will
havp tn forpfro Dleasures that lean toward the
luxury side; we will have to postpone, if not ab.
andon, pet projects; we may have to pull in our
belts (which will be a good thing in many in
stances) ; and most of all, we will have to gear our
efforts to the one great project preparing Amer
ica for any eventuality. It will be a high price to
pay, but if we really love this America of ours it
will be worth whatever we have to pay.
There is one thing that every citizen is entitled
to ask and that is that the government act in
good faith with the people; that the money be
used judiciously and that partisan politics and
personal ambitions be lost sight of in the months
to come. This is a matter in which we all pull to
gether and win or, lacking cooperation, we'll all
sink. It's up to our leaders to show the way. If
they do that the people will follow. If our leaders
are incompetent we should demand new leaders.
It is a matter of survival of humanity and if we
succeed in surviving we can reestablish our way
of life when the crisis is over.

vears as a federal forester, ac

nounced.
Ewing started with the forest
service on the Fremont national
forest in southeastern Oregon in
1907. He served there as assistant
forest guard, field assistant,
foreman and forest ranger until
1913 when he resigned to enter
private employment. Returning
to the forest service in 1922, he
was employed on the Fremont
until 1925 when he transferred to
the Malheur national forest as
assistant forest supervisor. He

CAPITAL PARADE
SALES TAX BILLED
Once again, albeit, that vener
able and persistent old ham,
Sales Tax Bill, will stalk he cir
cuit he knows so well through
the marble halls of the Capitol,
during legislature.
Some of the older members oi
the legislature will welcome the
come-back try of the old crusaa
er of many sessions (always sold
down the river ere sine die). Ap
plause of the solons will be cau
tious, with tongue in cheek and
eye on gallery.
They will recall that the peo
ple of Oregon have voted thumbs
down to the sales tax many
times. In 1933 the negative vote
was 4 to 1; in 1936 nearly 6 to 1,
and in 1947 3 to 1. But what does
that mean when it is recalled
that they turned down equal suf
frage for women many times be
fore it was adopted. They did the
same thing with the income tax
measure. And what could we do
without it now? At nine elec
tions over a period of 18 years,
they refused to pay their legis
lators more than $J a day, ana
with a 40 day limit. On the tenth
election they passed the pay
boost to $8 a day.
Question: Is the state all set
for that favorite political drama,
"A Change of Heart"?
NEW FACTORY TYPE
Factories without windows is
the immediate note of progress
in building.
Windows let in too much cola
air in winter and too much hot
air in summer," says H. M. Rat-
ley, general engineer for the Nat
lonal Automotive Fibers corpor
ation, who is in Oregon's capital
to enlarge the Salem Flaxtex
plant, one of eleven factories of
the corporation. "Lighting and
air conditioning a factory is more
economical than heating it,"
Ratley says.
If and when blackouts return,
the new type of factory will not
have to be blacked out, and
workers would be safer in a win
dowless building.
GUBERNATORIAL
APPOINTMENTS
Speaker of the House Frank J.
Van Dyke, Medford attorney, was
appointed to the state board of
higher education this week by
Governor McKay. The term ends
in March, 1953.
He succeeds Phil Metschan of
Portland, who, after serving six
years on the board, resigned last
week.
Reappointment of Roy S
(Spec) Keen, Corvallis, to a six-
year term on the state parole
board was made Friday by the
governor. Keen, who is a former
director of athletics at Willam
ette university, is now athletic
director at Oregon State College,

PALEFACE
Whenever Governor Douglas
McKay s committee on Indian
affairs meets it elicits some ang
le the white men have overlook
ed. This time it is on legislative
apportionment.
When this committee met at
the Capitol recently they asked
that legislative reapportionment
be based on the total population
instead of the white population
They approved the eventual
transfer of education, public
health, welfare and law enforce
ment activities from federal to
state laws.
They demanded repeal of Or.
egon's law banning amalgama
tion of the races and preventing
sale of liquor. Want to be like
white man!
FARM LABOR SUPPLY
An early start was made this
week at the Capitol to insure as
much farm labor in Oregon as is
possible to meet prevalent
shortages.
William Baillie, state employ
ment service manager, is sched
uling meetings in various local!
ties to follow up work started at
the capital this week at a meet
ing of growers, state officials,
business men and housing authorities.
"Millions of dollars worth of
crops, such as hops, corn, beans
nuts, berries and trults, face a
threat of heavy loss if pre-ar
rangements are not successful,"
said Baillie.
CAPITAL SHORTS
State income tax dept. has
purchased $5,500 worth of micro
film equipment. Means more
working space for new help in
fraud department . . . More new
lawyers. The supreme court has
desiginated Feb. 6 and 7 for a
special bar examination in Port
land as many law graduates
have to go to war . . . Governor
McKay has announced that he
would like to see a short legisla
tive session. Where have we
heard that before?
