SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $3.00 PER YEAR SINGLE COPY, 10 CENTS An Anniversary To Remember Ten years ago tomorrow, December 7, at short ly after one o'clock in the afternoon of a fateful Sunday, America awoke with a very rough Jolt to the realization that is was at war. In the ten years that have elapsed much water has gone under the bridge ... and along with it much blood. Well do we all remember the hours and days of confusion, rumors and stories that fol lowed Pearl Harbor. - America was about as total ly unprepared for war on that Sunday as a country could be without being entirely asleep. Even if there is hope that the Korean "diffi culty" may be settled soon, there is no one who can say that we have much in the line "peace" to look forward to in the near future. Ten years after the start of World War II and more than five years after its ending, America stands in the midst of the greatest rearmament race it has ever run, second only to the first few years of World War II. America was foolish. We thought we had the war won in 1946. Another five years has shown us that the shouting and joy that came with the announcement of Japanese surrender that August afternoon that we call VJ Day, was premature. True, the Japanese war was over, but the events since have shown that America's war was Just get ting started. On the tenth anniversary of Pearl Harbor America is faced with the greatest task that has ever confronted it that of saving America, and, along with it, the free world. We are all prone to criticise our "leadership in government, and there are few who will deny that there is ample Justification for at least some of the criticism. But more than Just criticism is needed in the future. The next few months will bring a flood of criticisms, charges and counter-charges from both political parties, from the many hopeful candi dates and finally from the candidates themselves who each hope to be named president. For the next several months the people of -America have a big job on their hands, the job of sifting all the programs, platforms and promi ses that will be forthcoming and choosing the man who shows the greatest ability and the sharpest judgment to be the guide of America's destiny. It won't be an easy yob. Americans have for years taken their politics too easily. In the months to come they should take politics to heart. It will take the greatest of leaders and the smartest of diplomats to steer this country through the coming years. It is up to every American to think and think clear ly during the political campaign. that-is. about to start. Tomorrow, ten years after Pearl. Harbor,. each American faces the. biggest problenvof.his'life that of saving it, and.saving.the.way oMife that none of us have any desire.to give. up. Pearl Harbor happened o before,- and it's trite but true that it could happen -again in an even more terrible form. Our individual judgment in the future could well play a big part in preventing it. LABOR PREPLEXITY How does this add itf? While unemployment in Ore gon continues to rise there are fewer Job seekers than a year ago. Last week claims for unem ployment pay climbed to over 12,000. The slate of Oregon is seeking workers for many types of work, including prison guards (pay starts at $210 to $250), appraisal workers for the state tax com mission, hearing officers for pub lic utilities commission (pay starts at $309), claim investiga tors, nurses and superintendents of nurses. The state board of control this week decided to offer college stu dents work in summer vacation as attendants al Oregon state hospital. A check by the state unem ployment commission shows more workers leaving than are coming to Oregon. GOVERNORS' TURKEY DERBY Oregon's Governor McKay wrote Idaho's Governor Jordan Saturday that it was not possible to send an Oregon turkey to the annual Caldwell turkey derby and regretted the Invitation did not arrive in time, "with the vir tually certain winner it would have been." "Besides," he wrote the Idaho governor, "the famed Oregon broad -breasted bronze turkey is not raised for racing purposes, as in the case of your smaller, ex tremely muscular Idaho turkey." "However, if you contemplate issuing, another challenge for next year's Caldwell derby, please let us know in sufficient time to grow and train a stringy speed ster of the type that is better at showing it heels than its drum sticks."

MORE BIRTHS IN 1951 Births to Oregon residents in 1951 will reach a new all-time high if reports for the last six months of the year equal those of the first, when 17,595 resident births were recorded. During- the first six months the Infant death rate was up 13.5 per cent, al though maternal death rate was the lowest ever recorded in the state during a six-month period. Other vital statistics just re leased by the Oregon State Board of Health show that marriages were up 4.7 per cent from 2,662 to 2,954 in the same period. Death registrations for Oregon residents increased 6.5 per cent from 6,791 to 7,235. DETROIT DAM PLAYGROUND The lake formed by the Detroit dam and the surrounding area will furnish an atractive outdoor playground. The reservoir lake, to be known as Lake Detroit, will be approximately nine miles in length and a mile wide at some points. The north and south shores have been designated for public development. Officials estimate the annual attendance when the project is completed will be 65, 000. The forest service will as sume responsibility for the ad ministration and future develop ment of these areas. BUDWORM AIRFIELDS Over a million acres of Oregon forests are . affected with the timber-destroying spruce bud worm. Working with federal and state funds the state forestry de partment will expend $730,00Q next year for budwornt control in the Mt. Hood, Mackenzie river and northeastern Oregon area, according to Lynn F. Cronemiller assistant state forester. Airplane fields are being lo cated over the state that will ac commodate bombers and single motor planes, to tie used in spray, ing the affected forests.
