PlONKIN CONDOLENCES (An Open Letter) Dear Losers: You lost a football Rnme In fit week-end, but so did approximately 10,000 other teams throughout the nation. They were good teams, too. All will recover. The race Is not always to the swift, but they gener ally get there first. Maybe you put all your football victory hopes In ons basket. That's poor business. It leaves you with no enthusiasm for the remainder of the schedule. Assemble some lively snd logical alibis, snd keep the faith. Lean upon a comforting snd ver-hsndy IP. Everybody does when fond hopes collapse like h paper sack full of buttermilk. Of course, you csn be quashed but unconquered. The strong teams get that way playing strong teams. Thus they are always aktmmtng the edge of de feat. Buch a policy knocks the wind and the over-confldcnre out of the gladiators. In s little while the coach lina a machine that loves the tough going with every gams a "big game,1' and the calm attitude that next FTI day night's opponent is Just another football team. Win. lose or draw, they don't hate anybody. The cash customers are also happy. They see a hattle. Instead of a track meet. All squads have "breather" games. In which everybody but the Baptist preacher Is sent In to make s touch down. But too many "breathers" Is liable to leave a team with 818 points, snd no breath when the eru rial contest arrives. Surplus scores don t count, when up against stonewall defense. speaking of stonewalls, there la that section of the Oregon school rules that provides for the forfeiture of' games followed by young riots, snd havoc to property. It's a great molllfler of rambunctlousness. On Monday morning, the high sohool campus don't look like Genghis Khan snd Attiia the Hun had been there celebrating Hallowe'en. Finally, don't take victory or de feat too seriously. The same goes for above remarks. Ro Long. AMOS K. PH ANN. PS: Tour drum corps marched like Wft Point cadets.

'Membership Week" "KTATI0NAL Membership Week," now being observed by Parent-Teacher associations, affords a two-fold opportu nity to those who sponsor this "week" here and throughout the nation. Horizons of Bcrvice for this organization may be broad ened through increased membership, with corresponding spread of public interest and active participation. Likewise, widespread attention may be focused upon the essential work of an organi zation that UNITES parents and teachers in the common prob lems of ohild welfare and education. TPHE necessity of such an association of parents and teachers, cooperating in an intelligent and progressive program of education and in the development of an informed, active public opinion to support such a program, is quite obvious. In assum ing the role of coordinator of education and welfare efforts in home and school, the Parent-Teacher groups have accepted a difficult but highly important assignment. A spirit of understanding and cooperation between parents and teachers is indispensable to a smooth-working, effective educational program. The effort of both should be in perfect alignment for their problems are mutual. An important part of child education ii rightly the obligation of parents; the teachers' responsibilities go further than just inparting "book knowledge" disciplinary and character-building problems have an important place in every school room. "THE rapid growth of the Parent-Teacher movement is evi- dence of an increasing interest in schools on the part of parents and many others who recognize in the common school a powerful bulwark against forces not compatible with the prin ciples of our democracy. In a world which is filled with misunderstanding, distrust, intolerance, hypocrisy, jealousy and suspicion, education can become a two-edged sword dangerous when not properly handled. . This column has pointed out before, as the youth goes, so goes the nation I It behooves parents, teachers ALL citizens to be very sure that the citizens of tomorrow are schooled to meet the responsi bilities that come with citizenship, for in the RIGHT kind of EDUCATION lies America's hope of permanence and security in years to come I - - That's exactly the kind of education that Parent-Teacher associations believe in 1 . TPHE P. T. A. offers its membf rs the opportunity to share in the joint responsibilities of the home, the school and the community. In a nutshell, this organization seeks to know the ohild through child study and parent education; to cooperate with schools and other educational agoncies in his training through shared participation with teachers and educators; and to control and build his environment through development of public opinion and civio activity. ' . ' It is little wonder that this association lias become a vital factor in the educational system here and elsewhere I The harmonious, efficient operation of Medford and Jackson county schools may be attributed, in a generous measure, to the cooperation of parent-teacher associations in this area. can faults. Except perhaps for Alice, Eleanor comes -nearer being a replica of the old Teddy than any in that numerous tribe.1 Boiling with energy, interested in everything, afraid of nothing, she is always "in to the eyeballi" in whatever she tries. From faulty memory I recall that in one of her columns sbe quoted somebody it makes no difference whom, because so many have 'said it that the greatest gift ii "a portion of thyself." That is what Eleanor Roosevelt is trying to give in nearly all her waking hours. To this country it is not only that she has given five fine, modest, unassuming, stalwart and distinetly American children, but we should never forget the valley of the shadow of death in which she sat so long to encourage her great husband to believe that what seemed to be unmerciful disaster was really conquerable. , I happen to know that the decision on which the whole career of Franklin Roosevelt turned his consent to leave bis apparently successful cure at Warm Springs to run for governor of New York in 1928 was Eleanor's. Johnnie Raskob put it up to her before he put the heat on her husband. FURTHERMORE, during all those uncertain years three people Eleanor, "Missy" (Marguerite Le Hand) and Louis Howe kept the torch burning. Before the cocky usurpation of the present Hopkins-Corcoran-Cohen janissariat this was the real and only palace brain trust. Under its loyal, loving and benign influence not a single major mistake was made literally none. That was because it was utterly devoted, wholly selfless and informed by but a single hope advancement of the name and fame of Franklin Roosevelt. No pet panaceas, no private purpose, no thought of using a great personality to achieve a silent revolution on the basis of 'some "clever little scheme." It was an evil day for this country when Louis Howe died and when the avalanche of monstrous problems pushed the President farther apd farther away from these homely influ ences.

This son of s former Louisiana congressman is now padding happily about the acres of the family estate near Natchitoches, claiming that his re ward has been earned after seven years reporting ths vagaries of night life on Broadway. It waa Aswell who years ago teamed with this reporter In menacing the tranqusllty of classrooms at the Uni versity of Virginia when both of us were undergraduates, and later ws used to meet occasionally over tall glass in the Manhattan taverns, reit erating our approvsl of Katharine Brush's short stories and novels. About four ysars ago I wrote a column praising Aswell and, In one midwest newspaper It was published under somewhat- amusing circum stances, This paper also subscribed to Aswell's column, snd In msklng-up 1 ths paper ths editor confused the two columns, placing mine under Aswell's i nsme. Next day readers were treated j to a story In which Aswell appeared to I be heaping lavish praise upon him- j seir. At that, ths big fellow Is getting out of New York at a fine time. He'll miss the confusion of the world's fair and won't have to break his back and his heart taking people out to see It. Which gives me an Idea. Maybe I'll visit him.

Before we begin messing with salve, otntmenM balm, liniment, poultice, fomentation, lotion or other external remedy It may be well to review two fundamen tat facts: 1. Nothing Is absorbed thru unbroken skin. 3. A wound or burn. If not In fected and not tampered with, heals as rapidly as possible, and no medicament can make it heal faster. I call these "fundamental (acts.' Of course you know better then I do about such things. Maybe IH know more when I grow older--Auntle Btnnell used to tell me so when I waa a sophomore medical student. Meanwhile I Insist on the two fundamental facta. Salve, balm or ointment serves to Doc Salve and tannic paste ample to answer all ordinary emergencies In the home. In any case where Inflammation, swelling, pain and possibly acute In fection or septicemia ("blood-poison Ing") Is developing In wound, burn or ulcer, the most comforting end perhaps the most beneficial dressing is sn aseptic or antiseptic poultice. a large hot moist dressing, many folds of gauze or a large pad of absorbent cotton kept wet with hot sea water or If the sea water Is not available then a hypertonic salt solution - heaping tablespoon of common salt and a heaping teaspoon ful of sodium citrate In each pint of balled water This gives the relaxing softening soothing effects of a poultice, ss well as the osmotic effect of the strong salt solution It favors drainage.

Ideal environment or conditions for the most perfect healing with ths least scar and the least subsequent deformity or mutilation or impair ment of function are: 1.

It waa "neither .courtly nor kind" not to remember it until I saw news of it in her own column, but that makes it none the less sincere. I hear a lot of knocks about her column as being composed of trifling piffle. I have just read her book, "My nays,' which consists of excerpts from that column. Such books do not sell well just now. but, as I see it, this book will be treasured and long remembered. It is a sort of daily diary of a woman who is the wife of one of the world's greatest leaders in a time of one of the world's greatest agonies. Priceless today would be Josephine's irrelevant thoughts during Napoleon's first Italian campaign or at the time of the First Consulate. So. I believe, will Kleanor'a book be priceless. Mrs. Roosevelt well and wisely omits political references in the main, but that doesn't justify the charge of piffle. Her column doesn't pretend to be a shade more than what ita title indicates. It is my information thst, no matter what the men folk think, among women it is the most popular column in the press.

Lest year In a court suit a lawyer demanded whe ther, during tha compoaiuon of a Antl-Plcketlng Bill To the editor: The following statement regarding the antl-plcketlng bill appeared In the October 6 baroe of the Oregon Orange Bulletin and may be of In tereat to your readera. The atate- ment waa made by Ray W. Gill, state master. "Masquerading as a farmers' bill to control labor disputes. I consider that this la a bill to outlaw labor and one reaUy sponsored by the Associated Employers and they In turn are a twin brother to Associated Farmers. Sponsored at the time when considerable Irritation haa resulted from labor unrest and the actlona of a small group of Irresponsible labor leaders, the sponsors hope to pass this bill by taking advantage of antt-labor sentiment. No attempt la made In this bill to regulate the employers. Measured by their activi ties for the last 3D years the large employers generally have a much worse record than the labor groups. H6wever, they now see a chance to put through legislation, that If held legal, will Just about destroy labor organisations. The regrettable part of It all Is thst a minority group of farmers are being used to pull the employers' chestnuts out of the fire for them. "Many legal authorities contend the bill Is unconstltutlonsl and that Is no doubt true. It surejy Is In con flict -with the federal' Wagner act, where .Interstate commerce Is affect ed and some of Its provisions would abridge the right of free speech. The passage of this bill here In Oregon would bring resentment from tne ranks of labor all over the na tion, if not the world, directed against all Oregon products. It would take years to live this down. Whv endanger Oregon business and farm ers with legislation so unfair and when tt la probably Illegal? Farmers and business men of Oregon should study this bill carefully before be ing carried off their feet by the claims of the sponsors. The policy of the Oreson State Orange la very definitely against this kind of legislation. Fraternally." HAROLD A. BITHER, Pres. Locsl No. 689, Electrical Workers. F you doubt that for every person who .works less some other per son must work more, go make your home, with half a doaen other people, on a desert Island, where everything you eat, everything you wear and all the shelter you have must be pro vided by the labor of your hands and backs. , If three of the seven of you don't work, the remaining four must WORK HARDER or all of you muat go hungrier. If all of you work less you will HAVE LESS. Indeed, If he haa a defect aa a poli tician. It la taking too opeu delight In the practical aide of hie trade. It'a the conventional thing for politicians to wear togaa in public, but Lodge baa never quite caught the knack of pretending to be a statesman when he la out vote-chsatng. Yet be Is also ready to Justify himself on perfectly serious grounds. He quotes the remark of old Joe Chamberlain, who transformed the British Tories from a party of reaction to one of compromise, that "social legislation la tha ransom thst society psya for Ita own security. Like Ken Simpson in New Tork. he thoroughly believes that It will be healthy for the coun try If the Republican psrty becomes a party of compromise. Until a few months ago It was poa alble to regard Lodge as an accident. When your correspondents recorded hla success In msklng ths senate) Democrats unhappy ha had not prov ed himself back home. He baa now done so. And the most extraordinary thing Is thst the old-line Republi can who distrusted btm up to laat summer, are now convinced that he la on the right track. As one hard boiled organization man here put tt, "We found we couldn't win electlona the old way, and, while I guess there's a lot of ua don't like some of these new Ideaa, we'd a sight father put them Into practice ouraelvea than let the other side do It worse." That mesne not only that Lodge haa been successful: It mesna that hla kind ot Republicanism Is successful. , IF you doubt that only things for human use are wealth lock your self In a bank vault with a million dollara In gold on one side of you snd a LOAF OF BREAD on the other.

And why not? If we under stand the democratic palnclple aright we believe It majors on co-operation. Hence they should seek to understsnd the totalitarian states snd sppreclste that which la good In them. To argue, aa some do. thst Hitler and Mucsollnl sre all wrong Is merely mind prejudice. Both of these rulers have their good point and their good pollciea. As to their persecu tion of Jews, we must remember there Is a resson for all things. Hence even this offense la mitigated when the whys and wherefores sre Impsrtlslly considered Nor must we forget thst some people have a pre disposition to communism. Relative to the oppression of the church In these countries we mus consider thst msny psstors are too much In politics. If America were to turn fascist overnight 80 per cent of our preachers would be In Jail because of their busy-body tac tic in polltlee. If Hitler Is armed to the teeth It Is because Russia forced him to with their gigantic program of military preparednees and foreign revolutionary activity. Aa to the curb on the free press n totalitarian statea we must not forget thst much of otir news la colored by propaganda. Seldom do we hear of the good that Hitler and Mussolini hsve dona for their re- spectlve countries, but their finite gain the headlines. Hence there la good and bad on bath sides, and the good is to be praised even when found In totaii. tartan states. Moreover, tha democ racies are not exactly angelic with their 1st Justice, huge crime bills, corrupt politicians, gangstera. rack eteers, nudist colonies, female ame sons and elaas warfare. R. C.

Lodge's part has been to convince the voters that the Republicans offer a satisfactory slternstlve. Essentially. Lodge la strong because he Is a politician so practical aa to verge, on occasion, on the demagogue. Watching him In action, one gets tha Impression that he haa reduced po litical appeal to an exact science, and keeps a card-catalogue of "balta to be tossed out st Isbor meetings," "kind words for elderly female sup porters." and the like. But there la mora to It than that. Lodge's reactionary predecessors were muscle-bound by sll sorts of convic tions and commitments convictions of the Inherent wickedness of public relief,, commltmenta to antt-labor manufacturers, and the like. Lodge Is untroubled by many convictions and has always msde his commltmenta to get votes rather than financial sup port.
