Tragedy Near Manila
News dispatches reveal shocking events almost
daily and the average reader or radio listener is
inclined to give them nothing more than passing
notice. There is so much going on in this busy
old world that most of us lack the time necessary
to really digest the news of the day and it is
only when something close to home occurs that
we manifest a special interest
The slaying of the John Hardie household at
their large dairy ranch some 15 miles from Manil
la in the Philippine Islands comes as a distinct
shock to the people of this section of Oregon.
They were Condon people, members of old and
highly respected families. They had built up a
successful enterprise in their adopted land and
must have been looked upon as despised capital
ists by the communist-directed "Huks" who mur
dered them in cold blood.
John Hardie was a brother of Senator Stew
art Hardie of Condon, publisher of the Condon
Globe Times. Although his residence was in Gil
liam county, he was quite well known over this
way and the news of the brutal syaying has been
a severe shock.
Another Birthday
This issue of the Gazette Times marks the 68th
anniversary of the founding of the newspaper
which began as the Heppner Gazette and was
merged with the Heppner Times in 1912. It would
be interesting to publish some of the news of
the formative days of Morrow county, and this
would be done but for the fact that there are no
files to fall back upon.
The Gazette Times is not the oldest weekly in
these parts just among the oldest but the spi
rit of the paper is still young and it is hoped
will continue that way indefinitely, always look
ing forward rather than living in the past which
is the customary habit among humans who have
attained retirement status and no longer find it
necessary to look ahead. Regardless of what may
happen in the years to come, it will be the policy
of the newspaper to work for the best interests of
the community as it sees those interests, and to
refrain from prejudice and bias in presenting the
news,
A Long Train
Can you imagine a train of freight cars ex
tending from Pendleton to Omaha, Nebraska, or a
similar distance? That would fairly represent the
number of freight cars added and under order by
the railroads of the country since the shooting war
ended in 1945. Add to this the new passenger
trains the diesel and steam locomotives put into
use and still under order complete figures of
which are not available, and you will have some
comprehension of what the railroads have been
and are doing towards more efficient handling of
traffic not only in the every-day pursuits of com
merce but in the movement of personnel and ma
teriel for the war effort In all their plans the rail
roads have looked ahead, not only to meet the
inroads of cempetitive frieght and passenger ser
vices but to expedite the handling of those things
essential to national defense.
Sufficient steel to fill railroad requirements
for construction of new freight cars and locomo
tives and for necessary maintenance must be
a part of the armament program.
Figures have just been released on the require
mentis in man -power and fuel necessary to move
100,000 tons of freight from coast to coast.
On the railroads it would take 90 tank cars of
diesel fuel. By truck it would take 250 tank cars,
by air it would take 2,700 tank cars of aviation
fuel. This is aside from the important fact that a
great portion of heavy freight could not be moved
in any manner except by raiL
When it comes to manpower requirements the
railroads would require 3,500 man-days of train
crew time, trucks would take 90,000 man-days of
truck-driver time, and air would require 50,000
man-days of plane-crew time.
These are important figures when calculating
war-time transportation in such vital elements as
fuel oil and manpower, both of which would be
materially shortened in case of an extended
shooting war. It is easy to see why it is essential
that railroads, still the backbone of our trans
portation system, not be neglected in the allo
cation of materials and manpower.

A Contributed Editorial
We are not doomed by a thimbleful of poison.
A federal civil defense booklet issued March
14 helps squelch the rumor that America is faced
with something worse than Hiroshima if an ene
my plane comes over with nothing but a dimin
utive capsule of poison hanging in its bomb bay.
"What You Should Know About Biological'
Warfare" is the second in a series of booklets
written by the federal civil defense administra
tion. Following "Survival Under Atomic Attack,"
it has the same easy-to-read text and attractive
format. It is more than easy on the eyes. A cheer
ful note within limits of the subject is contain
ed in this factual and unemotional text on biolog
ical warfare.
This thought is offered. Suppose one ounce of
botulism toxin is enough to kill 220 million
people. Also let's suppose the 200 million living
in North America are jammed together in one
place. Then how could one ounce be distributed
among the people. It couldn't. It couldn't be dis
tributed among even a tiny fraction. It's a pois
on, not a germ than can reproduce its own kind
and spread disease from one person to another,
The book doesn't minimize the dangers of bio
logical warfare, however. It wisely points out
that germs, not generals, often have decided the
outcome of wars. Basic protective measures, such
as sanitation, reporting sickness and helping au
thorities, are given Mr. Public.
Oregon's greatest agricultural resources could
be hit hard by biological warfare. Before the Unit
ed States entered World War I, enemy agents
working in this country infected livestock with a
disease called glanders as the animals were be
ing prepared for shipment to the Allied nations
of Europe. It's nothing new. Biological warfare is
not a secret superweapon.
The pamphlet points to the need for education
in the many ramifications of civil defense. More
rumors will have to be cut down before we ap
proach realistic thinking. There are some defi
nite steps to take. First is to learn the facts. Don't
count on intuition, and realize there won"t be
crystal balls to consult after sirens begin to wail.
From the Oregon Department of Civilian
Defense.

January.
