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

has outworn its propaganda use

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

higher than that of the United

undertaking added financial re

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

to hand Japan over to the Chi

be fighting among themselves,
as they were even this year,
with an aggressor in their front

very good reason is that this
daily exercise prevents atrophy
of muscles of the Injured limb

J COME factors of the distant

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

certainly be less Important than

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

nations nor free people can exist
long without spiritual founda
lions. Their solid restoration by
this war offers the chief hope of
the future.

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.
