There is no use talking this
city and county has a fine sense
of rumor.
Anent the proposed "Casless
Sundays" to conserve gasoline
comes the word this nation is ex
porting 1,500,000 barrels of It
to Japan per month. By people
keeping out from behind the
steering wheels, and staying on
their lawns on the Sabbath, the
exports should jump to 2,000,000
barrels month in no time.

WHY THE WAVES A HE WILD
(Astoria Astorian-Budgat)
"While everybody is shout
ing about Seaside's prospects
for a howling summer success
in resort business, on down
the road a spell the good peo
ple of Cannon Beach, nestled
betwixt Tillamook Head and
Arch Cape, are quietly prepar
ing for their own private lit
tle nervous breakdown."
A dispatch from Washington.
D. C. says a quiet but relentless
campaign to revive prohibition
as a military measure Is under
way. The people have enough
to fret about without the added
worry of when the home-brew
on the back porch will blow up.
A labor leader (CIO) defies
the mediation board request for
millhands to return to work in
Washington state, and in a plane
factory strike in California, the
same union graciously allows
the army to cross the picket
line and remove nine completed
planes. There seems to be a
need, before America takes over
world management, to find out
what's going on at home, and
who is running the government.
It looks like somebody besides
the Vichy regime is collaborat
ing with the Ax's powers.

Is Hitler Lying Again?
THE Oregonian has a very interesting front page
spread today entitled "Exclusive Hitler In
veighs Against Convoy."
The story is an authorized interview by former
Ambassador Cudahy, with Der. Reichsfuehrer at
Berchtesgaden. The Nazi leader flatly denies any
predatory interest whatever in the western hemis
phere; ridicules the claim he plans an armed invasion
of America if and when Britain falls; and assures
the former U. S. ambassador to Belgium that in the
event of a Nazi victory, the United States will not
suffer economically in the slightest.
TJITLER also declares that to "convoy means war,"
although he does NOT say that if the United
States DOES convoy to Britain, Germany WILL de
clare war, the Nazi "all-highest" prefers to leave
that vital question in the nebulous realm of interna
tional law, declaring all authorities agree that escort
ing war materials to any enemy is a "warlike act,"
an exhibition of restraint on Der Fuehrer's part which
may or may not be significant
VES, a most INTERESTING story, and if conditions
were only different, what might be an epoch
making one. But conditions are not "different," and
this department will be greatly surprised if this pro
nouncement, direct from the Fuehrer and via a most
trustworthy source, momentous as it is, changes the
course of world events one iota.
Why?
Because those who have the power to change that
course won't believe a word the Nazi leader says.
Why should they
Herr Hitler is in the unfortunate position of the
boy who cried "wolf!" when no wolf was there. So
when the wolf did come, and the lad emitted the
familiar cry no one believed him. The poor little boy,
if we recall correctly, was promptly eaten!
And that, we fear, will be Adolf's fate, at least
as far as any success in avoiding war with the United
States by this reassuring utterance is concerned.
FOR no one will believe him. In the same fashion
Hitler reassured Britain and France at Munich,
declaring he had no further interest in Europe as far
as conquest was concerned, only to be followed in
a few weeks by the occupation of Czechoslovakia,
and not very long thereafter the invasion of Poland.
Hitler solemnly told the world, at another time,
he had nothing but the friendliest feelings toward
England and France, they should, in fact, join him
in opposing the red menace from the east, the un
speakable Stalin-, "the bear that walks like a man."
Less than 20 months later he signed a pact of undying
friendship and cooperation with Stalin, and was at
war with both of his alleged "friends!"
So in view of that record, which is far from
complete, how CAN anyone believe what Der
Reichsfuehrer says now, when it is so obvious that if
he can only somehow, someway "appease" the United
States at this critical moment, his complete victory
over Britain and Europe is won.
IT is too bad. In international relationships, it can
be nothing else, at any time, but tragically so at
this particular time, when the word of the leader
of any great nation can't be relied upon.
But that is the inescapable truth. And not only
as far as Nazi Germany is concerned, but Italy, Japan,
Soviet Russia, all the totalitarian powers.
Iruth is in none of them I

doubtful if even the wishful-thinking ostrich could
dodge them.
What should we do
paper's judgment the only
NOW is to FACE them. Face them, and do EVERY
THING THAT NOW CAN BE DONE, to prevent this
"good earth" from becoming a world in which the
truth, yes, and it's hand maidens, good faith and
fair dealing, HAVE NO STANDING!
Even if He Isn '
"Truth crushed to earth shall rise again;
The eternal years of Cod are hers;
But error, wounded, writhes in pain.
And dies among his worshippers."
'Til AT familiar quatrain from Bryants "Battlefield"
is always reassuring.
And in spite of certain superficial evidence to
the contrary, most people, we believe, retain a strong
faith in it.
Truth crushed to earth WILL rise again. And
this department retains a sufficient breadth of view
to concede the possibility that when it DOES Hitler's
denial of any intention to invade the United States
may even be a portion of it.
TTHAT is not probable, but it is, as we view it,
1 POSSIBLE. Not only do a great many well-informed
Americans like Lindbergh believe it. but only
three or four months ago three members of the Army
& Navy club in Washington told the present writer
that was their best and considered judgment.
So it may be true. And if it were true there is
little doubt it would influence the policy of the
present administration profoundly. For the Roose
velt administration would never consider out and
out war with Hitler, if not convinced that his victory
would be a DIRECT and vital threat to I'ne safety
and security of the United States.
But that is just the trouble. No one can KNOW,
and no one can afford to take a chance that a national
spokesman who has never told the truth before DOEi"
find it to his interest to tell the truth THIS time!

SHUCKS. THEY'RE
According to a widely circu
lated news items, a draftee in
New England had a complete
a complement or
mastic a 1 1 n g
machinery and
not a wee cav-
ity In
t h e
mouthful. H e
frankly admit
ted he had
never brushed
'em, although
several other
mem b e r s of
his family reg
ularly brushed
theirs and had
the usual quota of cavities and
missing teeth. The young man
with the 32 sound teeth had
always eaten whatever he liked.
That was that.
Some readers will recall that
a considerable colony of people
who inhabit the islands Tristan
da Cunha in the south Atlantic
a thousand miles west of Cape
of Good Hope were in the news
three or four years ago because
they all have such fine teeth.
Old and young, examined by a
representative of the Cape Col
ony dental society, had extra
ordinarily sound teeth, and
none of the inhabitants had ever
used a toothbrush. Among 156
of the inhabitants examined by
the dentist, 131 of all ages from
childhood to 8 years, had teeth
entirely free from dental decay.
And in 1932 Surgeon Comman
der Sampson, after the first
medical inspection carried out
by H. M. S. Carlisle, that the
physique of the islanders was
good, in spite of constant inter
marriage in such a small com
munity. Among the children he
could find no evidence of rick
etsand in the sunniest region
of the United States a majority
of children show signs of rick
ets. The diet customary among
the inhabitants of the "isles of
contentment" explains, I think,
not only the freedom of the
children from rickets but also
the soundness of everybody's
teeth nobody on Tristan da
Cunha uses toothbrush or denti
frice. The diet consists of pota
toes ahd other vegetables such
as they can grow, fish, sea-bird
eggs, milk they have cows
which they use solely for milk,
butter, cheese, not for meat.
They have some sheep, for wool,
and only at Christmas or other
festive occasions are any sheep
slaughtered for meat. Potatoes,

Union officials or others In
charge of west coast strikes are
known communists not all. but
enough to cause discord. Com
munists, as labor leaders, have
come to the national capital and
appeared before the committee
investigating un-American activ
ities and complained against
west coast employers and, on
cross-examination, have been
revealed as registered commu
nists. This within the week.
Dies committee has the name
of a communist who was sent
to the west coast to tie up air
craft production. He appeared
at the Boeing Seattle factory
after the Vultee strike In Cali
fornia. There is a reason why
half a dozen workmen were
ousted from the navy yard on
Puget sound last week.
A FORMER OGPU agent who
wrote a book and is now tip
for deportation (if he had not
written the book and made his
public confession his presence
in this country would not be
known), has testified that three
years or so ago the communists
established a flourishing propa
ganda club in Portland: another
in San Francisco, and several on
the Atlantic coast. This was
during the period that a "red
squad " of the police department
in Tortland was checking on
communists and fellow-travelers
until a cry was started that the
squad was interfering with civil
liberties. The club for propa
ganda in Portland was disestab
lished when orders came that it
had accomplished Its mission,
but that was after the "red
squad'' had been discredited.
It all adds up that many gov
ernment officials at last view
with suspicion the epidemic of
strikes on the Pacific coast
which have crepped to the sur
face from tin British Columbia

milk, cheese, eggs, and such
fresh vegetables as they can
grow, together with whole
grains when supplies are
brought by occasional vessels
sometimes as long as a year
from the visit of such a supply
! ship to the next arrival of grain.
The large per capita consump
tion of milk which provides
not only the most assimilable
form of calcium and phosphorus
for teeth, bones, nervous tissue,
etc., but also considerable vita
min D and vitamin A, as well
as vitamin C, as the cows have
plenty of grass accounts for
the marvelous teeth and the
freedom from rickets of the
people of Tristan da Cunha, I
believe.
These observations, however,
have no weight with the great
Yankee Wiseacre population.
What appeals to their intelli
gence is an anonymous note
such as the following quoted
from a "health" magazine:
"Improved oral hygiene
would result if efforts were
made to overcome the present
lax attitude of many people
who place dependence on the
dentifrice rather than on the
thoroughness with which the
oral cleaning is done."
So that's it! After all these
years of scrubbing it does seem
a bit rough on people to tell
'em now that if they had only
scrubbed more thoroughly they
might have saved their teeth!
QlEfcTIONS AND ANSWERS
The Bunk
Would like to know the merit of
exercises to strengthen the
eyee, to avoid wearing glasses for
defective vision. (L. M. F.)
Answer Such eye exercises are
harmless, possibly beneficial In aome
Instances, but X advise you to wear
the glasses your eye physician pre
scribes, to prevent eye-strain, while
you try out the exercises If your
phy&tclan sanctions them.
Bite Bark
Child 2i years old has habit of
biting whenever he can't have his
own way. Have tried biting back,
spanking, ecoldlng, shaming, putting
to bed without effect. (Mri D. V. H )
Answer Spanking and putting to
bed for one hour is the best way
to correct the habit but this pun
ishment must be Immediate end
Inevitable for every euch offense.
Scolding, shaming and biting back
are wrong.

were crippling the aircraft in

the lumber industry, and there
have come reports that Bonne

ANOTHER matter the govern

a meeting at which plans were
proposed for a general strike up
and down the coast. It was- pro
posed as a demonstration of pro
test in the event that Harry
Bridges, alien labor leader,
should be ordered deported back
to Australia, his birthplace
provided Australia would accept
him.

Happiness Is Aim of Life
To the Editor:
Happiness is generally agreed
upon as being the great achieve
ment of life. Not mere pleasure,
but permanent, thorough happi
ness, which takes hold of life
and lifts it to new planes. This
may come without riches or
power or the things that are
considered Important in a ma
terial sense.
Happiness is really a form of
beauty within us. If encouraged
it grows rapidly and influences
others making them joyous too
Beauty in ourselves comes in
response to beauty from with
out. This is why the colorful
gardens and classically deco
rated homes are so important
in building our happiness. When
our environments are created by
ourselves we naturally take
more interest in them. They
are, in a sense, part of our very
being. Those who have not ex
perienced this way of living can
never know the indescribable
joy of it. There is nothing so
completely satisfying in bring
ing happiness as living in the
I midst of natural and created
beauty, especially when you can
feel that you have brought it
about with your own hands.
This indeed is one of the su
preme achievements.
