Like her elders she is a bit uncertain about the number of her years. Valley Republicans, In mid week were blue about the re sults of a nation-wide straw vote, but the news next day perked them up. The vine maple leaves all over town have started to red den, due to the crimpy morns of the pest week, A week from tomorrow Is Labor Day, and Washington urges one and all not to travel. In the past, such a warning has caused record breaking gadding. The former boy-mayor of K. Falls, was here Fri. shaking hands and fixing political fences. He is running for the senate. The woods are full of huckle berry pickers, who report sev eral fine catches of fish. A shlvaree was foiled the first of the week, due to the escape of the Intended victim.

One Is going to get married, and the other is going to Ashland. . The fried chicken and roast ing ear season is now at its height in the rural areas, where they both aro eaten with the bare hands. The OPA squashed the state grog board plun to give the thirsty a chance to buy an extra fifth of cooking whiskey, if they bought two bottles of imported gin, brandy or rum. The custom er would not be forced to drink the rum. In the dry era, they gave the old fashioned bootleg ger six months in Jail, for mak ing better stuff. ... The 1940 "Invincible gray green legions" of llerr Hitler were rooted out of Paris Fri. and there has been no such display of civic Joy since Ashland got the normal school. Valley watermelons are now ripe enough to steal, and some are big enough to fill a candy bucket. A few of the Older Girls are making preserves out of the rinds.

AIR CADETS KILLED Sacramento, Aug. 26 (U.R) Mather Field Aviation Cadets Donald J. Langlals 23, and Ki lls C. Lasslter 27, died today when their B 23 bomber crashed Both Right, and Wrong William Hard has an interesting article in the Sep tember "Readers Rigest" entitled: "Are we on the! wrong road to peace? The well known political commentator and writer answers the question in the affirmative as follows: "I contend that the primary aim of the United States should be a World Union of ALL NATIONS in session at all times for consideration of world problems, economic, financial, political, military. I am convinced that such union organized to take and express world views in world emer gencies and energized by daily duties of world service can be the strongest bulwark against war that can be built. I would not be thought to suppose that power, as power, can be abolished. Doubtless powerful nations will, and must, follow special courses and make special agreements for special purposes. This use of power of the great powers, however, I am contending should occupy a secondary place in our minds. The whole history of the world for the last 130 years teaches us that, when the power of the great powers is made the primary thing and when it is exalted Into being the one central pillar of peace, it crashes in blood." The author cites the sad and' bloody end of the union of Great Powers known as the. Holy Alliance formed after Napoleon was overthrown. It was formed to' keep world peace, but ended in a series of bloody wars. This is approximately the position of uovernor Dewey and has much to commend it historically and morally. President Roosevelt, however, takes the opposite view, that such an alliance of the four victorious pow ers, England, Russia, China and the United States must be formed, if "our grandchildren are to live in a world of prosperity and peace." He is supported by such eminent political and international experts as Walter Lippmann who would divide the post-war world into four spheres to be controlled and adminis tered by just such a Quadruple Alliance. Well the debate is on, and unless all signs fail it will become a very important political issue, and be discussed and cussed pro and con for many years to come. IN the opinion of this department both sides are right in -kitA canoa rtrA irt'Dn rr in o n ri Vi ni iii uiic OLiiov aim niuii in auubiivi We agree with President Roosevelt to this extent that as a practical matter the four great powers that will have defeated the Axis, must stick together to keep the peace and restore order, during the trouble some post-war period. And the great advantage of such an arrangement would be the organization is already formed, there would need to be no radical changes politically speak ing in the present status quo. The nations that have worked together to win the war would merely stay together and go on to solve the pressing problems of peace. DUT on the other hand we believe Mr. Hard is entirely right when he points out the ultimate fate of any such Big Power Alliance, as a permanent ar rangement, as anything more than a temporary expedient, solely to solve the problems of the critical reconstruction period. When these have been solved, when the war pas sions have had a chance to cool, when something approaching a normal rational and peaceful atmo sphere has been restored THEN, Bring in Mr. Hard, Governor Dewey and others who believe as they do and set up not an exclusive Big Power alliance but some sort of inclusive WORLD organization, with all the powers large and small probably including the defeated ones, repre sented. IN other words instead of adopting either the Roose- velt or the Hard plan take the good features of both and adopt a Third plan, which on one hand, will be capable of solving the reconstruction problems in a post-war atmosphere and on the other solve the prob lems of a world-wide organization to maintain world peace. We grant the tremendous difficulties involved in both proposals, but are convinced a combination of the two would be greatly preferable, to the adoption of either one. No One Knows, But "No living man can tell when the war with Ger many will end" said President Roosevelt to his press conference. A few moments later Congressman Clifton A. Woodruin of Virginia arose on his hind legs to an nounce : "The war with Germany will end in Octoberl" . . . . CO there you are boys and girls. President Roosevelt probably knows more about the war situation, what is actually happening abroad and what isn't, than any other living man. let he will not even uUfc-bs as to when Germany will capitulate. Nor will General Eisenhower who did predict last New lears day, Germany would be de feated sometime this year. 1 Now the General is not quite so certain. J. GAVE SOCIALIST PARTY AIR TIME 1LY THIRD JAP - Overseas Talk Promise Letter Refutes Claim Democrats. New York. Aug. 26 U.PJ Maj. Gen. F. II Osborn, director of the information and educa tional division of the army serv ice forces, was Identified today as the officer who promised the Socialist party radio lime for an overseas broadcast equal to that of President Roosevelt's Brem erton speech. Harry Fleischman, Socialist party secretary, said that Os born made his promise in a letter to him dated Aug. 21, and re ferred him to Capt. Albert E. Gibson of army service forces here for assistance. Fleischman said that Osbom's letter was in answer to Socialist party claims that Mr. Roosevelt's speech was political and there fore the Socialist party was en titled to rebuttal time. Osborn suggested that ".8, order to com ply with your request under the terms of law title 5" the party should draw up a 38-minute script, the .exact length of the president's which would be giv en free time, Fleischman said. "This letter is in direct con tradiction to the statement of Paul Porter (public relations chief of the Democratic party) that the army's classification (as political) of the president's speech at Bremerton was made by a lieutenant and therefore unofficial," Fleischman said.

JOBLESS PAY ACT Washington, Aug. 26 (U.R) Four democratic members of the House Ways and Means committee tonight assailed the committee's proposed Unem ployment Compensation Bill, shortly after republican com- I mlttcemen had praised it as far preferable to the senate ver sion of such legislation. The four democrats Reps. Herman P. Eberharter. Pa.; John D. Dingell, Mich.; Walter A. Lynth, N. Y., and Aime J. Forand, Pa. charged that the committee had "emasculated" the measure so that it "does not provide anything at all." But the republicans were equally critical of the bill as it passed the senate, and said that version "put the cart before the horse" in emphasizing unem ployment compensation instead of speedy conversion to peace time production. They said in a statement that the bill as passed by the senate would "pave the way for the very evil we must avoid" widespread unemployment. They favored the version final ly approved this week by the Ways and Means committee, from which several senate pro visions were deleted. Eliminated by the House committee were provisions to provide unemployment com pensation for an estimated 3. 500,000 federal employes and to authorize appropriation of funds to pay for vocational training of war veterans and for travel expenses of veterans to new Jobs after their discharge. A ND with good reason. " For tl the end of the war in Europe now depends not upon the allies but upon Germany, i.e.: How long Germany can TAKL it. THATs all. Germany is beaten and knows it, But to be BEATEN in modern war is one thing. To give up, as China has demonstrated for nearly a decade, is quite ANOlllhK. And no one can tell, not even Hitler himself, when that moment will come; when the strain will be more than flesh and blood, and spirit, can stand, and Germany, Hitler or no Hitler, will call it a day and QUIT! It might be tomorrow. It might be, don't laugh! a year from tomorrow. That it will come SOMEtime is the only CERTAIN thing. Yet that will not halt for a split second the fascinat ing game, of following the example of the pontifical 7S?2 Congressman from Virginia, and TRYING to pick the ing rouune training tiighU UIC. GOV. DEWEY RAPS Gl VOTE SMEARS Albany, N. Y., Aug. 27 (U.R) Gov. Thomas E. Dewey asserted tonight that New York's soldier vote law is working successfully despite efforts of the Democratic party and its "satellites" to "scuttle" the law through "blind partisan attacks." The Republican presidential nominee issued the statement through his Albany offices. He said the Democratic campaign of "deception and demagoguery failed." Dewey's statement was prompted by a report of William T. Simpson, chairman of the state war ballot commission, dis closing that 385.000 applications have been handled to date. I "This proof that the system adopted by New York state is working so well is the best pos sible answer to those who sought to sabotage its effectiveness by mnking blind partisan attacks uopn it," Dewey said. io Berries In places and very scattering where there are any. The best pickers get from 3 to 5 quarts a day only. There is a good setting of second crop now about the size of number 6 shot. If nothing happens to hurt them there will be a pretty good sec ond crop. , A. C. HUSO.V, Rt. 1, Medford. Aug. 25. Any expression of thanks Is invariably accompanied by a handshake In Norway.
