The "Willamette valley is beautiful now aa is all the world in spring. From Medford to Corvallis everything is growing and green one can almost SEE the leaves lengthen out and change a skeleton tree of wood, into a plump fat 'Smowball" of luscious foliage. And spring has this great advantage over fall it has youth and LIFE. Fall is more colorful and beautiful but it's nearing the end, which is always sad. One striking difference noted In the landscape this spring' over a year ago. Very little gram planted this year and what is, hasn't poked up from the soil as yet apparently it was too wet to plant winter wheat it's all "SPRING." Also several orchards along the highway wrecked trees, some of them in bloom pulled up and lying prone. Something rather terrible about that, killing life just as it starts crushing youth just as it blooms. (Retter put on the brakes here or we will be bursting out into mournful song.) a e a a So the season is backward, but nothing backward about the wild mustard. Can't recall such a display in this state before, the thin, strident yellow being scattered everywhere, and in some places solid fields of mustard as if being grown deliber ately for commercial purposes. Have to ask some one in the college about this. The long rains have stopped, but Old Sol is still having a tough time up here, o.k. when he hops out of bed in the morn ing, the birds are singing, the skies clear, but almost invari ably an hour later it's cloudy again and the sun is pretty much obscured until noon, when it has a brief burst and then another one just before it goes to bed, the 'tother side of the Pacific. Many people are like that, full of speed when they got up in the morning, but struggling against physical clouds most of the day. ' a a a a Everyone one sees Is for Governor Martin, but that doesn't iool the present writer, who has met a similar unanimity before. There is, no doubt, however, that except in radical and ULTRA liberul circles the governor is TREMENDOUSLY POPULAR. And this can be put down as reasonably certain: If there is large representative vote out, the Governor will win, if there isn't, he won't. For this is true in politics as m human nature hate is far more EFFECTIVE than love a person who HATES some other person, will do far more to injure him, than a person wno L,nUiO someone win u w ucix... that person.

No one can seem to understand it. STRANGE! We didn't support Roosevelt because of his smile or that beguiling radio voice but because we" believed he had the right idea about what should be the repair and reform of the concerned. As we see it he has not changed in his FUNDAMENTAL purposes. So why should we, or anyone else desert him as long as we believe in the ESSENTIALS of his program, even though he may make mistakes, serious ones, on the non essentials! Why above ALL should we go over to someone who doesn't, and never has, believed in those aims, or those principles 1 It's now 10 a. m. after 2 hours of brilliant sunshine, the skies are overcast and there are drops of rain on the window pane.

The officers 01 tne sena torial battalion of death, the men whom the president most fears, have met and laid tentative plans. 8ena- n.,H nt Virginia. Annator Wheeler I of Montana. Benator Oerry of Rhode Inland, Senator Bailey of North Caro lina. Senator Vandenherg of Michi gan and Senator Borah of Idaho have pretty well agreed to lead a fight for ear-marking of the public works fund. They have decided that It la hope leas to try to oppose spending per ae. and some of them, llko Senator Wheeler, do not want to do so. They rightly oonalder the request for a new public works fund aa the heart of the spending program, and they are especially apprehensive that the fund will be used to rebuild the pres ident's atrength In atrateRio places. Thus their resort to the ear-marking which many conservatives have ad vocated. Soon a series of regular meetings of the anti-administration leaders will begin. Senator Byrd hss already been recogntred as the general of the forces, and he can be counted on to fight as pretty relentless cam paign. Senator Gerry will play the part of whip. Just aa he did In the court bill and reorganisation fights. And. once more, the Republicans ha vc a greed to lie as low as possible. So much for the plans. They are all tentative, of course, and may col lapse any day under the pressure of oncoming primaries. Yet their e- istence suggests that there may be trouble ahead for the president. For him. ear-marking of the pub lic works fund would bo a galllugly bitter pill. In the first place, his economic adviser believe that a fund wronxty spent will do no good. And. In the second, there can be no doubt that the president and his aldea hope for some political good effects from their spending. Luckily for the presi dent, however, he has one good de fense against earmarking, which Is the difficulty of knowing how to ear mark At the moment, the opposition sen atrs sre searching for an earmarking formula much In the frantic, hap harard manner of children playing "button, button, who's go the hut ton?" The ahou of "pork barrel" Is too much feared to permit ear msrklnc hv proect.. and all form ula thus far devised for earmarking by classes of projects are either too done in this country as far as social and economic machine is vague or too objectionable to some powerful group. . If a formula can be discovered, It la not a bad prediction that the op position senators will win. And It no formula la deacovered, It la not unlikely that there will be riders to the public works bill, forbidding the expenditure of more than 10 percent of the money In any state and an noying the president In other waya Thus far. this has been a review of the uncertainties In congress's re sponse to spending. Among them, however, one certainty can be dis cerned. If the same senators lead the fight to beat the president on the spending program as led the fight on the court and reorganization bills, there can be no doubt that the ad ministration now has a determined, cohesive and effective opposition. Through the first New Deal years, no real opposition to the White Hons? could be found In congress. Opposi tion arose on constitutional Issues, but for a long time stopped theie. Now It promises to extend Itself to an appropriation bill. There is an old legislative maxim worth remem bering, that "anyone who wants to fight an appropriation bill really wants to fight." STATES PROTECT GASOLINE TAXES WASHINGTON (Up) Eighteen state have limited the amount of gasoline which may be brought In side their borders without payment of additional taxes, according to a survey made by the Federation of Tax Ad ml lustra tors. The restrictions, are designed to prevent motor vehicles from using highways without contributing to the coat of maintenance and con struction. Thirteen states have specific gal lon limits ranging from 10 gallons In Colorado to 50 In Iowa while five states admit tax-free only the fuel that can be carried In a vehicle's ordinary fuel tank. States which restrict the number of gallons of gasoline which can be brought across their bMx1eri without payment of additional fuel taxes are: Iowa. AO gallons; Idaho. lltinoK Kama.

If the victims of 'this con dition have any Idea at all about It they generally mention that I dentist has ex pressed the opin ion that It Is be cause of some thing lacking In their food. For merly the pre vailing notion was that they hadn't taken good care of their teeth. Now all that Is based wholly on 'conjecture ant) hearsay, and In no degree on any scientific experiment Investigation or any large scale ob servation or study of controlled hu man experience. But It has been re peated so .often that, for many, it has come to seem the truth. On the other hand, we have enough scientific experimental evi dence and enough cllalcal or actual study of experience of various tribes of people living under reasonably controlled condition, to convince an unbiased or open mind of the fact that carles or decay or cavity forma tion In the teeth and gingivitis or pyorrhea or chronic Inflammation and shrinking or recede nee of the gums are due mainly to deficiencies of the diet, particularly Insufficient assimilation and utilization of cal cium (lime) and phosphorus and in sufficient Intake of vitamins, par ticularly vitamins D, o and, at least according to English authorities, vita min A. There is still room for argument regarding the Importance of an ade quate daily intake of vitamin C to prevent dental carles and gingivitis (gum Inflammation), but. there can be no argument against the general advisability of getting a fair amount of vitamin C every day, for growing children and young adults as well as for Infanta.

Just as millions of Ameri can kids play It In Texas and Utah and Georgia.

And despite a political career in the Islands that has occupied every moment of his spare time and gain ed him the title of "the Ramsay MacDonald of Jspan." for he is la bor's champion, the elder Abe would consider It an 111 spent day that he dtdn't keep sn eye on the big league races.

Home canned tomato or tomato Juice la not, because more or leas oxida tion occurs during the canning pro cess and oxidation destroys vitamin 0. The vacuum process employed in commercial canning of course .ex cludes oxygen and so preserves a considerable part ' of the vitamin C of the fresh fruit or vegetable. The amount of orange Juice, lemon Juice, grapefruit Juice or the fresh fruit necessary in the dally ration is probably not leas than two ounces or one-foutrh of an ordinary glass ful. The same amount of fresh or factory canned tomato Juice or to mato containing that much Juice is advisable. Four or five times as much would be the optimal or most favorable amount, for maintaining health.

ONE LICK METHOD FIRE F PICTUREHY CCC Line Moves Parallel With Advancing Blaze in New System Each Man Does Part On March TILLAMOOK, Ore.. April 11. IPl A forest fire blazed laat week on Mt, Hebo. high In the Sluslaw national forest. A lonely motion picture cam eraman aimed his lens at the wall of flame and stood his ground aa the fire advanced. Into the camera field came 60 CCC forest guardsmen, walking In alngle file parallel to the la. Those In front carried axes. A second group had Pulaski tools (combination axes and grub hoes.) The rear guard was armed with shovels. Walk and Awing. As the line moved ateadlly across the face of the fire, each man took a lusty swing with his Implement every two or three steps. The pace was only slightly slower then a man would normally walk. ' When the line had passed, every tree In lea path had been cut, every bush grubbed out and the dulf re moved to leave a ribbon of moist earth along the route of march. The fire burned to the edge of the path way and stopped. The camera eeased to grind. The operator had recorded one of the latest Improvements In flre-flghtlng technique the "one-lick method" of building a fire line. The plan, suggested "by Roy Head Icy, ohlef of fire control for the U. S. forest service, and used In the national forests of Oregon and Wash ington for the past two' years, is an adaptation of the conveyor method of assembling automobiles In modern plants. Men Stay In Line. Formerly the flrellne crew spread out and each man worked In one spot unin nis snort sector of line wss complete. Now each man takes one swipe with his axe, pulaskl or shovel ar. he walks by. The next man does the same, and the next and the ueirt. The last to pass puts the finishing roucn on tne iirellne at a given point. Jack Campbell, regional fire con trol ohlef. ssys the plan has ma terially speeded up the building of fire breaks. He was directed to film lt operation for the benefit of other regions. The "one-lick" method wss evolved on the Rogue River national forest by K. P. McReynolds. asslstsnt forester, In collaboration with Karl L. Janouch. supervisor. The method was first tried out by Mr. McReynolds on the Apple gate sector of the forest In 1938. Development of the one-lick meth od resulted from a report received by lorest neaaquartera here from Wash lngton, Mr. janouch related today. l ne report said that the forest serv ice had developed a high standard of efficiency In the use of machinery In fighting fires but the efficient use of man-power seemed to be legging. With this report In mind. Mr. Ja nouch and Mrs. McReynolds set to work to Increase the efficiency of i flre-flghtlng personnel. The "one lick" method wss the result. Mr. Mc Reynolds was then In chsrge of fire control on the Rogue River nstlonal fortst. He now holds the same posi tion on the Umpqua national forest with headquarters In Roseburg: "Mr. 'McReynolds conceived and perfected the method and deserves full credit." Mr. Jsnouch said. So Important and revolutionary was the "one-lick" process that the Port land regional forester's office suggest ed that the method be explained to a meeting of foresters from all parts of the country In Spokane. Wash . and that was done by Mr. McReynolds In 1936. Mr. Janouch related. Mr. Mc Reynolds wss prslsed for the lucidity of his presentation and the "one lick" method became a standard pro cess of forest fire fighting all over the country, Mr. Janouch stated.
