Pilot Rock Again Has Newspaper
Volume I, Number I of the Pilot Rock News
made the mails last week, the first issue of a pa
per in Tilot Rock for almost a quarter of a century.
Dale Amerman, formerly publisher of the Free
water Times, until he sold out late last fall, is the
owner and publisher of the new paper. The plant
is located in a new building erected for the pur
pose. The first issue was well patronized by Pilot
Rock and Pendleton business concerns and car
ried a good grist of local news. With continued
growth of his newly adopted community, Publish
er Amerman is assured a good field for his ven
ture and Pilot Rock should not again be without
a newspaper.

THANK YOU, MR. TRUMAN
By DR. ALFRED P. HAAKE
It may be that the discharge
of General McArthur is the one
real service with which history
will credit Mr. Truman as hav
ing rendered his country. Per

sary to awaken us to Mr. Tru
man's inadequacy as trustee of

that respect it might be said misery enjoys com

erican Legion Auxiliary style show was wrong as
it appeared in the Gazette Times last week and it
is hoped that no one was inconvenienced by show
ing up on Monday evening when it is billed for
Saturday, May 26. Our informant, busy with nu
merous activities, got her dates mixed and news
paper people being victims of the rule of following
copy, it was so published. We hope the auxiliary

of this mixup.
Looks Dirty, Too!
Parents shuddered when bubble gum was in

comments heard on every side concerning the ugly

train robber and murderer be
came dictator over hundreds of
millions of people. In Germany
a frustrated paperhanger impos
ed his diseased will on a conti
nent. In England a fanatic coal
miner pursues his relentless pro
gram to destroy the last vestige
of capitalism. And in America a
bankrupt haberdasher struggles
persistently for life and death
control over the finances and
economy of a nation.
In all places where these
things happen and men less than
fit ride into high office on the
promises of something for noth
ing, or by capitalizing on ha
treds expediency takes the
place of principle in determining
policy and control, and the mor
als of men decay.
History will accord General
McArthur his rightful place for
the services he has rendered
America and civilization. It will
do no less for the little captain
who finally fired a general. But
you and I should be concerned
with something more important
than any individual.
At long last the American
people can, if they will, make a
searching analysis of our foreign
needs, obligations, relations and
policies. We can learn to what
extent one high official in gov
ernment served communism in
Russia, and another served soci
alism in England and perhaps
conclude that it is time instead
to serve freedom in America.
Perhaps we can lift out of the
limbo of political suffocation the
truths we need regarding infla
tion, the effect of taxes and fed
eral debt on the lives and for
tunes of our people, and do some
thing to stop the hideous waste
that is eating up our substance
in the medley of madness we call
Washington."
W e may take advantage of
the light that can be shed from
under the lid that President Tru
man has lifted in firing a man
too big to be compressed within
the pattern of ward politics. If so,
we can discover the nearness
with which we have approached
disaster and the horrible precar
iousness in which we stand in
consequence of our worship of
political expediency and our be
trayal or principle.
In 1924 we denounced the Ger
man emperor for violating an in.
ternational agreement to respect
the neutrality of Belgium. We
caned him unprintable names.
As a nation we Americans have
reviled double-crossers in inter
national affairs, and proudly re

of international betrayal.

haven't they? At Yalta we bribed
Russia to break her word to Jap
an and help us strike the final
blow. The price of that betrayal
of Japan by Russia was our own
betrayal of China. We agreed to
turn over to Russia provinces
that we were honor bound to re
store to China. Proud America,
through her President and his
advisor Alger Hiss, double-crossed
China. We deserted principle
and good friend in order to build
for expediency, betrayed an ally
up a potential bitter enemy.
The irony was that Russian aid
did not save a single American
life in the closing battles of the
Pacific war. Russia attacked Jap
an in time to grab the booty,
when the war was over. We sow
ed a wind of betrayal at Yalta
and now we reap a whirlwind of
war in Korea. Schoolboys who
were kept in ignorance of the
Yalta betrayal, pay with their
lives for our sorry bargain with
Russia.
But, if Mr. Truman by his ac
tion has released the lids that
have kept many a truth from our
consciousness, then we can even
forgive him for his pitiful inade
quacy and thank him for wak
ing us up to what he and others
have done and are doing to us.
Butter Creek Play
Day Draws Turnout
A bountiful picnic dinner at
nooon and a well rounded pro
gram of arena events in the af
etrnoon proved irresistible to a
large number of Wranglers Sun
day with the result that the Ran
dall Martin ranch at Lena was
overflowing with people and
horses. When the demands of the
inner man had been satiated, the
crowd assembled at the rodeo
corral where the usual fun games
played on horseback by both
youngsters and grown-ups were
enjoyed.

that Larro Dairy Feed provides. It builds

Larro, fed the Larro Way, pays a handsome
profit over feed cost. Let us show you how
to get these extra dollars from your cows.
