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." JUSTICE ROSSMAN
RECOGNIZED
The American Bar association
this week gave Oregon's Justice
George Rossman another high
honor by selecting him as a mem-

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.
