'01 Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry SO BE IT RESOLVED Come New Year'i Day, and per long established custom, many noble resolutions were re solved and hatched by citizens, with grim determination to cut out for various periods, much pleasant, minor sinning they feel is not good for their souls or their pocketbooks, or their chances of election, if planning to run for something. Few sur vive. The vast majority are speedily broken like a bull had cantered into the china shop of their good intentions, or bunged up like 1027 fender, within the fortnight or later. One of the best things about the garden variety of resolu tions is their tendency to last quick. There is trio of resolutions that will be kept, however. One Is to change Herr Hitler of Ger many, from a world conqueror, to the Cry Baby of Creation. The Russians are making as tounding progress towards this end. The other Is to make all of Japan look like the sections' of Manila they bombed. Both come under the head of ven geance, long deferred and badly needed. The last is the copper riveted vow of civilization. In the Great Showdown, there shall be no sugar-coated, peace terms In six popular flavors This time there will be no statesmen at the conference table with Jello In their knees and backbones. It will be tough on Hans, Togo, and Tony, but they asked for it. The outstanding local resolu tion of the past year was per petrated by Peorgia Bill Gates, who a year ago nimbly swore off smoking cigarettes, and kept his pledge by smoking a pipe. There has been some talk of In ducing him to adopt a resolu tion to resume cigarette smok ing, for the coming year. The following set of resolu tions has been brewed for local consumption during 1042: I will not believe in rumors, however good they sound, and wish they were true. I will take them with a grain of salt, or as much more as needed. I will not cuss the weather, be it hot or cold, or neither, nor whatever it is, allege it Is ruining the pear crop. During the war crisis, I will keep a stiff upper lip, and not raise anything on it I will not Jump at conclusions, and miss them. I will let the admirals run the fleet and the roaches the basketball team. Portland, Jan. 1. (41 The new year rode in on a blast of cold wind in Oregon as temper atures sagged far below freezing everywhere and reached zero at liend, one below at Lakeview four below at Pendleton. Even on the normally morirr ate coast the mercury dropped to 20 at Newport and 23 at As torla. In the Willamette valley the temperature dropped to 17 at Eugene, 19 at Salem and 18 at Albany. Portland's low was 20, Rnseburg's 19, Medford's 18. The weather bureau predicted continued cold. For the area east of the 120th meridian the forecast was for continued cold and clear weather.

A National New Year's Day Prayer O God of our Fathers, Eternal Ruler of the universe, we approach Thy throne today in a spirit of humble reverence, to entreat Thy favor upon our Country. By Thy inscrutable Providence, Thou hast brought us to a time of trial and of peril and of decision. The heathen have risen up against us, and against Thee. So we pray for power to defend our nation, and to help establish in the earth the principles of Justice and freedom and brotherhood which we have learned from Thee. Vain is all of our own strength and wisdom, unless aided by Thy might. We confess our sins, as a Nation and as individuals. We have wandered from Thy ways; we have disregarded Thee; we have given ourselves over to selfish gain and pleasure. Now we cry to Thee for forgiveness, out of Thy abundant mercy. Draw us back home to Thyself, and to Thy will for us. Set aflame our hearts with the holy fires which burned in the breasts of our fathers. We pray for our soldiers and sailors and airmen, and for all who serve our Country and our cause. They are so dear to us; may they be kept by Thee. Make them patient in training, valorous in battle, and in all the separations of love assured of our constant care and prayers. Give them vision to see the greatness of the goals for which they fight. To those who fall, grant an abundant entrance into Thy heavenly kingdom, where Christ, our Hero and Saviour, reigns. Quicken in all service men, and in us, a passionate devotion to America and her high mission, and to a new era of peace for all the world. Thus would we be, in war as in peace, a Nation whose God Is the Lord. Amen. W. T. E. Memento of World War I Gives Analyst MacKenzie Confidence in War No. 2 By Dewltt Mackenile (Wide World War Analyst) On this day, 1918, Corporal Adolf Hitler gave "Hoch der Kaiser" and goose-stepped in his clumsy knee-boots Into what was at once the most glorious and most catastrophic year of the World war for German arms. He glowed with fervor as his hob-nails crashed onto conquered French soil, for he felt sure he could see In the not far distance the fruition of his greatest boy hood dream. That was a vision of a Europe ruled by one domin ant race the Prussians. The German high command already on that New Year's day was preparing for the great of fensive which began In March and swelled with victory until it finally brought out British Field Marshal Haig's historic order of the day to his dog-tired, battle-stained troops: "Every position must be held to the last man. There must be no retirement. With our backs to the wall, and believing in the Justness of our cause, each of us must fight to (he end." 8CENE CHANGES IN EIGHT MONTHS That was on April 11 a date never to be forgotten by those of us who were on the field of ac tion. The swirling lines were changing ' so fast that British general headquarters at times didn't know the positions held by their own troops In some sectors. Germanic victory rode the winds. Yet a brief eight months later as I stood on the great bridge across the Rhine by the haughty city of Cologne. Field Marshal Haig handed me a memento of allied triumph a souvenir of the final collapse of the mighty fatherland, as symbolized that day by the military occupation of the Rhlneland. It was a smalt Union Jack, nailed to a rough staff which had been whittled with a Jack-knife from a stick by Ihe commander in chief's orderly. GERMANY TODAY ON DOWN-GRADE "Tell them that Germany Is very definitely on the down grade. It still has much power in hand, but its strength is far 'ess than it was 12 months ago and this winter bids fair to raise further havoc, what with the Russian debacle and the disease and the starvutlon and the gen eral chaos in many parts of a war-shattered Europe. "No matter what successes Japan achieves now in the orient, they cannot greatly af fect the European war unless the allies allow this Far Eastern conflict to distract their atten tion from the paramount thrater. which without question Is Eur ope. But don't forget that con versely, when Hitler Is smashed, Japan's fall is inevitable. In other words. Ihe paramount Job Is to beat Germany, and when that Is done, the rest will follow. "So tell yotir readers that from me, and give them best withes of the season from Haig's Union Jack."

EXERCISE AN The Young Snip, a critic of this column, has often observed that the favorite prescription of the conductor, no matter what ails the victim, is fresh air and exer cise. Especial ly exercise. Thanks for the qualifica tion. For a minute I fear ed I might be a fresh a i r crank. Exercise la one of the few medicines I am willing to take myself. Can't re call now when I have voluntar ily taken any medicine vita mins are food, not medicine except once a year or two ago when I had a spell of Meniere's disease, vertigo or something (I never did find out what upset me and they rang in a doctor on me when a doctor tells me to take this or that I take It, even If It be calomel, digitalis or castor oil. But it required no urging to make me take my medicine first thing every morn ing on rolling out of bed half a dozen somersaults on the floor and half a dozen to a dozen of the six movements of the Last Brady Symphony. I'd feel as out of gear and out of sorts if I had to omit these morning exercises as some per sons would if they had to miss breakfast. Not only a great many people who could but will not take ex ercise need It badly, but even more who would but think they cannot take exercise need it badly. For example, suppose you are laid up with a broken leg or broken arm. Your injured limb is immobilized for weeks, per haps, in splints, cast, or other apparatus. You badly need excr else but you think of course you can't take it you Imagine exer cise might displace the broken bone and interfere with union or healing. But you are sadly mistaken about that, and so is your doctor or surgeon if he allows you to go for several weeks without exercise. There is no good reason for keeping the whole body immobilized when a leg or arm is broken, but there is very good reason for exercising the whole body News Behind The News By Paul Mallon (Continued From Page One) least, after the war. That idea has outworn its propaganda use fulness. It was taken up solely to promote pre-war propaganda purposes. No one in authority wants union yet. We fought the revolution to get away from Britain and most officials around here think we were right in the first place. Economically the suggestion never made sense. The per cap ita debt of the British is so much higher than that of the United States, we would merely be undertaking added financial re sponsibilities without gain. Closer cooperation will be pursued to the fullest by Wash ington, but union never, see THE blank spot In the mind of all statesmen thinking upon this post war subject, of course, is Russia. Yet the demo cratic Ideal may not prove, at the end of the war, to be as far from Russian purposes as here tofore. The Union of Soviet So cialist Republics has been slip ping entirely away from pure communism and approaching capitalism gradually through the force of necessity for many years. The primary doctrine of Stalinism is practicallsm. No doubt Stalin looks ahead toward added territory far more fetch Ingly than to political theories. e e PAR East prospects are not clear. Offhand It sounds easy to hand Japan over to the Chi nese and Russians for assimila tion which would remove that unhappy race. But unstable China herself is not nnited. In a few months the Chinese would be fighting among themselves, as they were even this year, with an aggressor in their front yard. China lacks the necessary In stincts for Industrialization India has exhibited far more prowess in this respect these past few years. She could well become the ultimate successor to Japan. Otherwise the Orient rmht unbelievable though, it Brady. M. O. D FRESH AIR and, with proper precautions, the broken leg or arm Itself, many times a day throughout the period of disability. The very good reason is that this daily exercise prevents atrophy of muscles of the Injured limb and prolonged weakness or par tial crippling after the bone has healed. By exercise of the arm or leg Injured I mean contrac tion of some of the muscles with out simultaneous Joint move ment, systematic exercise ot that sort done for a few moments every hour of the waking hours, every hour by the clock. This is merely an example of the value of exercise for those who need it but wrongly assume they can not take any exercise. qlESTIONS A ANSWEB5 Raw Finn Daughter likes to eat fish raw.

Calif. seems lapse back to the point where the Japanese, in defeat, could achieve a new industrial and political hegemony in that area. e e J COME factors of the distant ! peaceful future are more ob- ! vlous. The United States will ! certainly have around her In j this hemisphere a unified family of nations closer knit than be fore. Britain will have both its dominions and Its empire. These two areas of the world will re main politically erect, though economically they may be changed to a revolutionary ex tent. Surely they will have to supply the greater part of the world's good in the postwar era. Germany, France, Italy will certainly be less Important than before the war. , e e A COMFORTING thought is " that It will be a better world in the post-war future If it can be anchored in re-established moral values. Never before have people lived in comfort and peace without a national sense of Justice, fair play, kindliness and simple virtues. Strife, wars, disintegration always have ac companied a decline of Chris tian or religious ideals. Neither nations nor free people can exist long without spiritual founda lions. Their solid restoration by this war offers the chief hope of the future. Blackout On Bridge Worries San Fran San Francisco, Jan. 1 VP) Lights on the Golden Gate bridge, spanning the entrance to San Francisco harbor, blinked out early this morning, and some late stayers-up gulped with the thought the sudden darkness might herald some enemy-conceived New Year's day surprise.

Kelly's Comment From Washington American Ship Crews Insured Northwest Bids On Tigris Barges Flight Strip Idea Explained r By John W. Kelly - Washington, D. C, Jan. 1. Every member of a crew of an American flag ship operating in the Pacific is being covered by a SS.000 insurance policy by the federal maritime commission. Attacks on tankers and freight ers off the west coast by enemy submarines, with loss of life and of vessels, has spurred the com mission into action. The poli cies are retroactive to December 7, 1941, the day of the sneak at tack on Pearl Harbor, when at least one American cargo carriei was sunk near the Hawaiian group. The insurance protection against a crew member being injured while at sea applies to all hands from the skipper on the bridge to the cook in the galley. The policy is a flat sum, ( identical for cook and captain alike. While the vessel is In danger ous waters, which now means from the moment it clears the straits of Juan de Fuca or Ihe estuary of the Columbia, the in surance begins and is In effect until the ship enters some port in continental United States or Alaska. Little has been said about it, but the commission has been providing war risk Insur ance on crews carrying muni tions to Africa for the past year. On ships and cargo on both Pa cific and Atlantic, the commis sion has been carrying war risk insurance, but with the Japanese attack with hazard to freighters on the western ocean the crew will also be covered. It was not the Intention of the commission to apply Insurance to sailors along the Pacific coast and be tween the mainland and Hawaii, as that was presumed to be a safety belt, but the Japanese have changed all this. At present there are relatively few freighters In the Pacific northwest, as so many had been diverted to the Atlantic, but in the year ahead production at northwest shipyards will be so rpeeded that the shortage will be overcome. In addition to insur ance and wages, seamen will re reive a bonus for each of cer tain ports their ship enters, e e UNDER constant nagging from Washington and Oregon the fed eral maritime commission has broken down to the extent of calling for bids for S00 barges, of shallow draft. 60 by 18 feet Original specifications ignored the Douglas fir and pine of the northwest, but these were re ; vised to give that aaea an op j portunity to bid. The barges I are to be used by the British on the Tigris river, which flows into ; the Persian gulf, where an i American supply base is being I prepared. It was the British and not the maritime commis sion that insisted on these shai ! low barges, and the British had talked the matter over with rep I resentatives of both northwest em states while the commission ; was denying the barges would be j used. The United States Iranian commission, lend-lease agencies and army engineers all spoke highly of using the Umber and on Manila facilities of the Douglas fir and pine regions. The barges will be awarded on competitive bids and, as the northwestern advocates had ex plained, that region has the highest wage scale of any lumber section of the country. This may prove a handicap. The barges must be delivered, all freight paid, at an unnamed port in the east. Possibly they can be shipped In knock-down condi tion, otherwise their size would prevent shipment on flatcar. and a voyage through the Panama ranal is hazardous with enemy submarines operating off the west coast. Sawmills of the northwest need the business; the cut in de fense housing will render idle at least 20,000 people in logging camps, sawmills and house con struction and several thousand of these workers are unexcelled in handling fabricating material of the type to be used In the barges. e e e HEAD of the bureau of pub lic roads, Dr. Thomas H. Mac Donald, is writing to congress men explaining the status of the "flight strips" along highways. He says they are most needed In the Pacific northwest, the north east and Appalachian mountain region. Congress authorized $10,000,000 for the strips but made no appropriation, but $3. 000.000 was appropriated in one of the big money bills two weeks ago. Location of the strip? will be selected Jointly by army air corps and civil aeronautics au thority. Half a dozen communi ties in the two states have made ! application foi strips and this Is the reason for Dr. MacDonald's letter writing. Closing of CCC camps haa left many trucks and tractors in the ninth corps area. Oregon highway commission has offered J12.000 for 40 Chevrolet trucks and 29 Dodge trucks, all having l'Vton bodies and all In need of some repair. The trucks are wanted for the home guard being organized. A couple of other states also are making Inquiry concerning the trucks, hoping to use them in transporting mem bers of the home guard.
