(Yakima tWn.j Republic) EDI rON mum set .WW The Solinsky Case THE conviction of Al Solinsky, former siiperinteiidrnt of Crater Lake nations! park, terminates a most extraordinary we, but does not clear up the mystery concerniiiK it. . Here was a veteran official in the park service, with years of fine accomplishment to his credit; highly regarded by thi department, he had so ably served ; looked up to and most loyal ly aided by his employees, and enjoying the best possible reputa tion in the community in which he lived. When suddenly he started on a course which he called "breaking red tape," involving a series of deceptions and sub terfuges, which must have been distasteful to him personally, and which with his experience and knowledge of the service, he must have realized, would eventually lead to his discharge. . Why did he do it! His answer is "the good of the service." And yet he must have known, that such an explanation would never satisfy the government or those in charge of the park ser vice, which so prides itself upon its record of punctilio and disinterested devotion to the public weal. OX the other hand, it is equally difficult to believe that the former park superintendent had any ulterior motive, that he deliberately planned to defraud the irovernment for his own selfish benefit. For not on'y does the evidence show most of the money involved went into the' park, but even if this had not been true, we fail to see how the KXTIRB ninount involved, COULD have tempted a man of Al Solinsky 's worldly experi ence and intelligence, to deliberately enter a career of crime. No, the more we have looked into the Solinsky case since the news first broke, the less we have understood it. No matter from what angle it is viewed, it simp', doesn't MAKK SENSE: Unless new light is thrown on the case, we fear it will go down in local history, as just one of those deplorable tragedies, which can never be explained. 'To the President!" IS there anything more important in life than health? If ro, what ia it? What do fame, riehes. plory, pride and power amount to if one hasn't health? What does anything amount to nave honor of course, if one hasn't health? Health for the individual is not only the first blessing; but it is the corner stone of a permanent and progressive nation. Anything that contributes to health, not only contributes ro greater contentment and happiness of the individual, but to human progress, moral, materia! and spiritual. WEIJj. Jackson county has an organization lhat for nearly two decades has been devoting itself to improving the health of this section of the stati and nothing else, It is known as the Jackson County Health association, and during the past ten years, thanks to the tireless energy, aggressive leadership, ;ud unselfish devotion of its president, Miss Mildred Carlton, it has placed Jackson county at the head of the out ire state, in us health work. In fact it has given Jackson county NATIONAL recognition along these lines. We think the time has come tor ALL tin people of Jackson county to know this. For it is not only a great honor to south ern Oregon, it is something that will contribute to the growth, progress and betterment of this community, not onlv for todav but throughout the years to come. "IXE don't wish to leave the impression Miss Carlton has dune it all. She has through all these years been ably assisted by scores of public spirited men and women particularly the women. But we do believe in giving honor where honor is I) UK. And of this there is no doubt, WITHOUT Miss Carlton's leader ship and constant inspiration, what has been done by the health association in Jackson county, would never have been accom plished. To her belongs the accolade. And what more fitting time to present it than today, which marks the opening of National Health Week, to be observed here and throughout the country, the first week in May.

Coal production also la off. due to the fact that the strike threat failed to materialize. Consum ers are using the stocks they stored up In expectation of a strike. Tobacco product ion set a new March record, which is another proof that the light, fast-selling goods are moving at an accelerated rate. Peo ple are buying more cigarettes. But steel la another story. This bellwether of the durable goods In dustrie hit a new low during the first week in April. Operation then went about 45 per cent of capacity Since then steel has pulled up to about 47, but no one is rery enthusi astic over the prospects. The comparison between tobacco and steel shows the balanced busi ness picture clearly. The non-durables are getting better while the durables are getting headaches. A false impression ha gone around the country that the new high price level is a gooo buslne factor. The truth is it does not mean a thing The price level la higher because farm and food prices are under the unnatural Influence of the drought All other prices are jt about the an me, For instance take t!ie aeek end in April 30 The general price level j croA-jed 80 for the first tun tn three year The rwt f'gure for that ee was 80 J. from page one) But when you break down that figure, you will find that food price were up to 85 3 and farm prices up to 81 8. All other prices were behind at 77 3. and failed to show any In crease during March or April. RED TOP SCHOOL WILL Bida are being advertised. County School Superintendent C. R.

TUB ATMOSPHERE Altho I am a bear on temperature In living rooms, office, stores and conveyances I like comfort u well a the next ceezer does. Only I'm fusey about It. I want mine pure and unadulterated. There li a great deal In habit in the matter of regul a 1 1 n g the tempa r a -ture when arti ficial he&tlng u In use. Moat per sons may accus tom themselves to a hygienic temperature say 65 decrees F. If tney will, so that such a temperature will be quite comfortable. On the other hand a great many coddle themselves or sub mit without resistance to coddling and this in time renders them ab normally sensitive to cold, and when I say cold I don't mean illness. The atmosphere or environment must In evitably have an influence upon met abolism. Unbiased Investigators know from experlen-ce that It Is better to keep cool and well and it is to keep good and warm. Prom the hygienic viewpoint elec tricity is ideal for cooking, because where there Is no combustion there Is no chance of pollution of the air wltn harmful combustion products. In my opinion coal or wood stoves or ranges come next, because they are always fitted with stovepipe to carry the combustion products up the chimney or out of the house. Stilt disregard ing the factors of cost, convenience and efficiency. I place gas. oil and gasoline stoves, ranges or hot plates lowest In the list, because there Is usually considerable pollution of the air of the kitchen by combustion products where these fuels are used. Kitchens, even in modern house, are too often poorly planned and poorly equipped, from the hygienic viewpoint, even when they are elab orately fitted with pretty gadgets The lighting is generally good, but the ventilation oh. my I Even If no deadly carbon monoxide escapes Into the kitchen from leaky gaa fittings or from faulty store pipe or flue, the poison may be generated where an accumulation of soot be comes red hot or where a flame strikes a cold metal surface or any surface such as the bottom of a pot or pan or teakettle where the flame Is too high. This unburned monoxide escapes into the air and a mere trace of it In the air breathed for a consid erable time is Injurious to health. Every cookstove should have a hood over it and a vent at the peak of the hood thru which dangerous or injur ious combustion products may escape as well as the odors of cooking. If the vent at the peak of the hood ha to NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O.O. Mclntvre NEW YORK, May 1. West 42d, once the national high In cross streets, continues to run down at heel, especially that former glit tering block be tween 7th and 8th avenues.

The onlv familiar landmark is the venerable New Amsterdam . Most other theatre nave gone continu oia burlesque and famously named cafes have become clattery cafeter taa and coffee pots.

Steer era for yokel trapa sidle up to passers-by with whispered Implica tions. Also chivying ladles. The entire block is a throw-back to Chicago's Clark street in it palmy hell-roaring days. Many hope the new movie theatre planned for the old H.unmerstein site will tone up the area, and a contemplated banishment of the strip-art bur lesque will help toward a rennals sance.

Althougn she doesn't drink those modern philtres. Her's is a nip of rye neat. Kendall's mother only recently mannged to stop over on a sail from California in Havana and land ker plunk in the middle of a pip of an uprising. She loved it and her son almost had to drag her away by force. She was actually in her 60's when the world war got going.

President Roosevelt has become steadily more conservative. AS THINQS stand now. strange as It may seem, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Is the white hope of those who think conservatively, in terms of what can be accomplished wltn human nature as Is. He can be and probably will be re-elected In 1936. Anyone who de feated him, unless political trends change materially in the next year and a half, would probably be a dangerous radical, or an equally dangerous demagogue. , RESIDENT ROOSEVELT. it ap- pcara to this writer. la a man who went out back in 1833 and started a fire In the dry grass. Why he did it can not here be said, because it la not known. Per haps he thought the whole accumu lation of political and economic dry grass should be burned off clean and a new start made. Possibly he was Just curious to see what would happen and used the opportunity that waa his to experiment and Una out. Or he may have thought that a conflagration was inevitable and that It was his Jcb to start it In the least dangerous way. AT ANY RATE, he started it, ana It went roaring off across the prairies, and in the course of time wild Indians like Huey Long began to put other fires. The ensuing holo caust is beginning to have its ter rifying aspects. There are reasons for believing that President Roosevelt wishes he had never set out the fire In the dry grass. At any rate, he is making rather obvious efforts to put out backfires. Whether or not he will succeed in his backfiring efforts can not at this particular moment be said, but most thoughtful observers slnceTeiy HOPE he will succeed.

He would not state whom he directly represented. Ef forts on his part to defer action of the governor for a week or ten days until the records of attendance of other members of the board could be compiled failed. At the conclusion of the hearing uovernor Martin declared: "In my desire to serve this state I hold no duty gerater than tthe sup port and advancement of public edu cation. It is my determination that education shall be held to the highest standard. The responsibilities Impos ed upon members of the board of higher education are second to none in this commonwealth, because they affect the future as well as the pres ent.

At the hearing It waa brought out that since April 1. 1933, Mrs. Pierce had been present at seven of the 23 formal board meetings and had at tended but four of the 17 meetings of the committee of the board of which she was a member.
