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.

P. T. A.' '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.

BALM, SALVE, LINIMENT, EMBROCATION
- and With Chestnut Dressing
ENERAL MOTORS a few days ago put. 30,000 men back to
a work
Yesterday the Libby-Owcns Glass company, of Toledo, put
nearly 700 men back to work. Throughout the East business is
improving, payrolls are growing, feeling is better. And accord
ing to the cconomio wiscmen prosperity, like the sun, moves
from East to West.
So while conditions have improved only moderately, here
along the coast since June, between now and the first of the
year, an increase in the rate of improvement can he confidently
expected.
Meanwhile the weather hereabouts, is just about as perfect
as weather can ever get.
So while not delving into the moot question of who, or what,
is responsible for these bettered conditions, might it not he a
good idea, to pack up our troubles in the old kit bag and pre
pare to celebrate, only three or four weeks hence a real genuine,
old-fashioned, hnneat-to-goodnras THANKSGIVING !
Before we begin messing with salve,

3. A wound or

tell me so when I waa a sophomore
medical student. Meanwhile I Insist
on the two fundamental facta.

In any case where Inflammation,

WASHING! ON This, is a rather belated piece on
Eleanor-Roosevelt' birthday. 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.

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."

Finds Good In Hitler

A welcome note was recently struck
by the Amerlcsn smbsssador to Eng

between the democratic and fascist
nations. And why not? If we under

we believe It majors on co-operation.
Hence they should seek to

snd sppreclste that which la good

To argue, aa some do. thst Hitler

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

military preparednees and foreign
revolutionary activity.

discredit themselves. 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. He hsd the wit to see his predecessors-
cries of "no regimentstlon" and
"down with New Deal dictatorship'
were making no Impression on an
electorate quite unconscious of being
regimented but full of lively gratl
tude for the tangible benefits of the
New Drsl. And. being unhsmrwred by
convictions or commitments sgslnst
pleasing the voters, he waa able not
to denounce the Democrats, but to
promise the voters they would be I
even happier under the Republlesns. 1
