No efforts has been made by
either major party, a political
writer observes, to corral the

snowless region like this, a
smart candidate would promise
the Older Girls a "White

the long, winter evenings hop

The pattern for the demobilization of America's
armed forces has been laid, and the G.I. Bill of
Rights" is being studied by the new crop of war
veterans with an eye to post-war planning.
THESE are but a few of the recent encouraging in-
dications that happier clays will soon be here
again. But, lest we start the victory celebration too
soon, we have the sobering reminder of Secretary of
the Navy orrestal that our successes in the Pacific
have given the Japanese a narrower theater of action
and greater concentration of air power. The Japs
have improved airplanes, too, and seem to be pro
ducing them at a fast clip.
THE favorable trend of the war in recent weeks
1 should spur the home front to greater effort than
ever. Certainly, complacency at this stage of the war
would only prolong it. The Japanese are banking a
lot on the belief that the people of America will be
come bored with the war when the conflict is won
in Europe and will be unwilling to see the Pacific war

HURLER OF $7 WORDS
(Astoria Astorian-Rudget)
"Our great, good friend El
mer A. "The Duke" Swayre,
whose family tree reportedly
takes in both Rogct and Web
ster, hove to In front of the
Owl this week with the com
ment that the Columbia river ,haV6 tin.
A ND, despite current rumor to the contrary, there
WILL be another tin collection and soon.
The Japs captured about 70 per cent of the world's
production of tin in the early stages of the war, and
from that amount the U.S. received about 1)0 per cent
of its supply. A little comes from Bolivia, Africa,
Wales and other remote points but much more is
needed for war necessities. That is why our recover
able tin must be salvaged from used tin cans. That
is why every housewife must save every single tin can
for early collection.
As this Is being written, mem
bers of the family are getting
ready to go to the county fair.
1 ve been ready for some time.
It's the one event which retains
the power to beget in me the
snme high excitement year after
year. I have to make the rounds
of the fair alone unless I can
find someone who has never ac
companied me before. "Mother
will lust stand and moon at a
squash by the hour, while one
good look at a squash is all I
want. Of course, baked and still
hot and with a big gob of but
ter melting in it, well that would
be different." This' from the son
mind still has a tendency
to dwell on his stomach.
Displays of canned goods al
ways arouse my lower emotions.
I know this but I always make
for that department just the
same and am envious, chagrined
and mad; mad at myself that I
can't get string beans geomet
rically arranged in jars in the
manner of those on display. The
knowledge that they'll be jum
ixed up before serving Is no com
fort to me. Unless taken to the
fair, no one would see them ex
cept myself. But I'd know how
I they had looked and that's
enough to upset me. So when I
go to the fair, I just reach out
my neck for a bout with my own
ego.
Toward the needlework de
partment, I have a vast indif-
fcrenre. If women want to sit!
up nights and ruin their eyes
making silly little stitches, that's
all right by me. But they have
a nerve when they grow a bet
ter squash or lino up string
brans in jars with military pre
cision I find impossible to attain.
What I should do is to go to
fairs where I don't know the
nrople putting on the exhibits.
But in my home county I know
the woman who grew tho squash
and canned the regimented vege
tables. What's she got that I
haven't, I'd like to know, that
she can outwit me year after
year in these matters!
The family can t understand
why I don't look at something
which pleases me Instead of
spending my time at enraging
myself. They go to the horse
