Under the circumstances, there is nothing to do, diplomat ically, but waste the time some place else. Other European re ports say Herr Hitler, with all .ciuiet on the fighting fronts, "is rhamping the bit." It serves him right, but is a bit tough on the "bit." I The reported discovery of a gold pocket in a California mine, that yielded a million dollars, brought the observation from an Applegate prospector, "That's fair money for a miner." In his own scampering around the hills, he once came upon the end of a rainbow, that went $7.86, and left him agog. Residents of the hills report warm and balmy weather, with violets blooming on the sunny side of the barn. They do their fall plowing in bathing suits, and don red flannels, and put hay in their shoes, after they get to town, it seems. In a gun battle in a southern city with the police, a bandit ahot the hat off a lady pedes trian, across the street, leaving her mnd but unhurt.

This Thursday 'T'HURSDAY, November 23rd, Official proclamations by the and the Governor of Oregon have made it so. Those who cling to the tradition that the "last Thursday in November" should be Thanksgiving Day should bear in mind that this particular time actually was not officially designated until 1863 and then by Abraham Lincoln. It was NOT the official day in early colonial times. AFTER winter of great suffering and privation, when bounti ful crops were gathered by the Pilgrims at the Plymouth Colony in the fall of 1621, Governor Bradford proclaimed a "day of thanksgiving." In years that followed, similar events were celebrated with appropriate religious observation and feasting in various localities but it was not until 1789 that the first NATIONAL "Thanksgiving Day" was proclaimed by George Washington. In that year, November 26,th was the day set aside. Thus, Thankiving Day, as we know it today, has not always been observed on the "last Thursday of November", so there should be no disposition to resent the recent change by executive order, as in any way the upsetting of an ancient and long-established tradition. EVEN in 1621, the custom of celebrating the gathering of the harvest with solemn services and feasting, was net new. The Bible tells of the festivities of the Canaanities and the Israelites at harvest time. Later the Greeks celebrated with a festival known as the 'Thesmophoria", and the Romans wor shipped their goddess of the harvest, Ceres, with the inevitable feasting of thanksgiving. In early England, when the sickle was laid down and the last sheaf of grain gathered, there were the autumnal festivals in which everyone participated and the bountiful table had an important part in the celebration. SO, this harvest festival of Thanksgiving was by no means of modern origin; so it was quite natural that the Pilgrims, after their first difficult year in the New World, should give thanks for abundant crops as they did. Therefore, it is not a question of WHEN we observe Thanks giving nearly as much as WHY we should observe it. With the echoes of marching armies, the rumble of tanks and the drone of war planes reaching these shores from the Old World, Thanksgiving Day certainly should have new significance in America this year. AS the Pilgrim Fathers set aside a day for "thanksgiving and praise to God for the mercies of the past year," "we the people" should set aside next Thursday as a day for humble gratitude for the PEACE that we now have; reaffirming our deter mination to maintain this peace in a world, torn with cruel, sense less, destructive war. A SMOOTH sea never made a skillful mariner; the storms of adversity excite the prudence, skill and fortitude of the voyager. And so it is with America! We learned a bitter lesson in the last war. The memories of its horrors and sorrows, its devastation, degradation and havoc are still clear in our minds. We are fortunate in this fact. It will strengthen our vigilance and bolster up our determination to bave no part in and these are the words of a Britisli "Tommy" in the trenches today "the filthy, contemptible business of war!" With a widespread, earnest desire for peace on the part of American people; with wisdom and restraint exercised by our statesmen; with adequate defense to command the respect of the greedy, ruthless despollers who have thrown the world into a turmoil, we CAN maintain this peace. WHEN the people of Medford and Jackson county, and the people of this state and other states of this great nation, gather at the Thanksgiving feast next Thursday, they should reflect upon their good fortune to be Americans. No people on earth have so grateful. Remember, too, that no Thanksgiving is complete without its generous thought of those who than wa are. By all means, celebrate next Thursday with fun and good fellowship, eat heartily of turkey and all the trimmings, see Medford play Coquille, dance and Don't forget to be thankful, for YOU are very, very lucky to enjoy the freedom and security of this great and PEACEFUL democracyl H.

BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY I am feverishly scanning the table of contents of every medi cal journal that comes to my lounge these days, in the hope of finding an issue that will have no article telling of the 34.11 per cent of cases of something or other that showed improve ment under treatment with s u 1 fanilamide or s u 1 f a p y- rldlnt. So far not much luck; on the con trary. In fact I wouldn'' be so greatly aston ished to see a report of the action of eith er of these miracle medi cines on a bad case of retrodis placement of varicose veins. In the present stage of investi gation It seems fairly well estab lished that these new remedies may gain a definite place in the treatment of certain infections, but as yet their practical value has not been specifically deter mined. Fairly illustrative of the present trend of the investiga tion is the following case, which, incidentally, is typical of a com mon serious illness of children: Boy aged 7 complained of pain in right ear. Next day he was drowsy and remained so for four days. Then he complained of being "dizzy" and having pain in the back of neck when he tried to raise his head from the pillow. He was removed to the hospital. Examination showed ear drum bulging, but no ten derness or swelling over th? mastoid bone behind the ear. Doctors suspected meningitis, took specimen of spinal fluid, found it contained a greatly in creased number of cells (one sign of meningitis or inflamma tion of the membrane covering brain and spinal cord) but no germs. Sulfanilamide treatment was begun at once. The bulging ear drum was opened, giving vent to a large amount of thick pus. Next day type I pneumoc occi (pneumonra gcrmsi were re covered from the spinal fluid cultures and from the pus cul tures from the ear. and from cultures made from the throat. Then sulfapyridine treatment was used instead of sulfanila mide, daily for four days in full doses. After four days hema turia (blood In urine) appeared with passage of some clots. Sul fapyridine was immediately stopped, and within four or five more days the kidney function The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. Washington, Nov. 20 In Eng-; land, Macaulay's report on East India Company personnel and '. the order in council of 1870 are1 remembered by all thinking peo-1 pie as two of the great events of the nineteenth century. On these historic documents the English civil service Is squarely founded. If they do not live in utter chaos, the next American generation 1 may perhaps have a similar; memory of the findings of the president's special committee on1 civil service improvement. j This half-forgotten body which I includes Justice Stanley Reed. Justice Felix Frankfurter, the shrewd engineering expert. Cano Dunn, and others amply fitted for the task, has been quietly working for nearly a year. With the full backing of, the president, they propose to try to meet one of the crying needs of our time procuring the best men available to serve the public. They will publish their suggested program in a month or so. All auguries favor i their success, and not least the ; fact that one committee member, 1 William Henry McReynolds, is a pretty good model for the civil servant of the future.

The ear drum had healed completely when the boy left the hospital. Before the ear drum was In cised to give vent to the pus the temperature had been around 103 but followed an irregular course, as it generally does when a collection of acute pus forma tion is present anywhere. Fol lowing the opening of the ear drum the temneratnre returner! to normal and remained normal. (Question, at least to my mind, is whether the sulfapyridine changed the course of the ill ness in anv deeree. 1 whether the simple incision of the bulging ear drum and free ing of the pent-up pus would not nave given tne same prompt re covery, without the hematuria which is one of the untoward ef fects of sulfapyridine.

As the president's executive assist ant In charge of personnel, his Job Is to keep the government's vast, complex human machinery running with reasonable smoothness. For thirty years. Improving that machin ery has been the ruling passion of his life. His approach Is beat Illustrated by two anecdotes. In the 'twenties, he was charged with setting up the civil service commission's classification system. Medieval rates of pay atlll persisted In some of the older govern ment department, and McReynolds wa Intent on enabling these depart menta to hire good men. An Influen tial Republican on the house appro priations committee, who was a penny-wise, pound-foolish economizer sent a message that. If McReynolda went on costing the government money, he would be ruined. McReyn. olda replied that he would do his best according to hi lights, preferring to be fired and keep enough self-respect so that he wouldn't have to shade his eyes when he shaved In the morning. One of McReynolds' civil servant traits la his ability to gain the respect and confidence of political leaders of the most various opinions. He was a trusted lieutenant of Ogden U Mills, as he la now of the president and Henry Morgenthau. Jr. Harry L. Hopkins Is also one of his cronies. and one day. when the WPA's admin tstratlve horrors were particularly op prewlve. Hopkins dropped In for a chat with McReynolds. Hopkins complained bitterly of his agency, but McReynolds. who was then in charge of treasury personnel. replied thst Hopkins' troubles were Hopkins' fault. Hopkins half lost his temper, swearing at McReynolds, and telling him that, because the treasury insisted on turning down all the mis. fit Job-seekers. the WPA had to find pistes for them. "Well. Hnrry." said McReynolda. "von pet no sympathv from me. You took these people for political rea sons, but. If you and evrryone elae had the guts to face the facts, you would know that good administration Is always the best politics in the end." McReynolds entered the govern ment almost by chance, taking ft civil service examination for the fun of the thing while really Intending to be a lawyer. Rut. alx weeks after he was assigned to the post olflee depart ment's inspection service, he was placed on ft committee studying the depsrtment's administrative prob lems. That injrvtcd him with his life puMon.

Inspired by Germany) to get Roosevelt to ask both sides for a statement of war aims. If both answered truthfully, they would say: "1. To lick the other fellow. "2. To take his shirt." (No official statement of Euro pean war aims, of course, WOULD be truthful. If made, it would be all prettied up to look like a Sunday school program.) TODAY'S dispatches disclose also that 2,000 Czech stu dents have been demonstrating against the government set up by Germany in the Bohemia Moravia part of seized Czecho slovakia. Everything isn't settled, you sec, when a powerful conqueror grabs the territory of a weak neighbor. The conquered popu lations remain to be dealt with. We could put our own western Indians on reservations, for ex ample, but we had trouble mak ing them stay there. One of the first principles of. conquest is that you have to han dle 'em after you conquer 'em. pENGHIS Khan and Tamer- lane had a method of their own for handling conquered populations. They simply KILLED THEM OFF, one good massacre solving the problem. Hitler probably isn't ready for that yet or even Stalin. The world has changed a little since Genghis Khan and Tamerlane 1 not fundamentally, but in mat ters of detail. IT'S still a war of words, with Hitler threatening bloody mur der about every other day but so far pulling his punches. Don't ask why. NOBODY KNOWS possibly not even Hit ler. TJERE is a hunch: Hitler is cooking up some thing; probably a new deal with Stalin. He expects it to be good when he gets it ready. Mean while he is stalling along, taking no chances. Bear in mind that this is only a hunch, and may be wide of the mark. But this war to date (aside from the smashing of Poland) is too polite to be true.

Ye Poets Corner A Baby's Death (By Russell Mitchell) I picked up their trail in a fresh fallen snow, Instinctively guessing which way they would go The tracks soon revealed a baby and doe. With savage delight I followed the trail With the sure Intuition that a hunter can't fail To enjoy the sight of a white bushy tail. As I crept 'round the ridge, there came into sight The pair as they plowed through the snow with delight She was urging her baby to be careful in flight. Two beautiful creatures In coats of steel gray Were romping and feeding that cold winter day, When a bullet destroyed their innocent play. He fell in the snow, then tried to arise As the cruel -mist blinded his innocent eyes; His body a-quiver with dumb, silent cries. She started to fly when she looked up at me, But turned in her tracks with a heart-breaking plea That he rise to his feet and continue to flee. She rushed to hr side as he lifted his head And kissed his frail nose, now bloody and red, Then quickly she left him alone where he bled. I tenderly laid him beside i huge stone And cried as I left him to sleep all alone; Somehow I wonder if I can atone. By writing this verse of that savage deed I vow never more to make dumb babies bleed For the mere satisfaction of my animal greed. This Is his monument, built for him here. With a moral argument meant to be clear; Erected by me to protect baby deer. mm EASTERN Portland.
