And, there are others who talk too much. Gov. Dewey proved it in his Oklahoma City speech.

(American Analyst.) Romantic bunco ar tiste. Take tha case of Argentine, tha lata good neighbor, she is now the target of a British poem. Argentine has beef that Britons want, the same being mora nourishing than Yankee Ideals. The final stanza of the poem runs: "These facts they must face In the Argentine case . From which only the peace can deliver us. Though Hull may appeal for line more ideal, Great Britain must still be carnivorous." Germany, according to plans In the making, will be ruled coma peace by the "Big Three", viz: America, Britain and Rus sia. One school of thought holds on her past record as a discip linarian of international hood lums, Russia should be the en tire trio. BEATEN IN DETAIL (Klamath Falls Herald) "One lad said to us: "Well, our folks were there pulling for us to tha end, weren't they?" We answered affirmatively, with our fingers crossed for a few people whose tail ends wa saw disappearing out of the south gate before the game was oyer." (M. Eplcy.) The nation is now confronted with a cigarette shortage that has the ear and foot marks of the great coffee shortage, the alleged beef shortage, and the " whiskey shortage. The Inst named deficit was cushioned by rum imports, one drink of which did more for temperance than ever dreamed of by crusaders. Tha coffee shortage suddenly improved, cattle dot a thousand hills and all main highways and now, lo and beholdl there is a paucity of fags, and a great run ning out of same. There is ap proximately one snuff user to every 100,000 cigarette smoker, and snuff is a by-product of to bacco. But there is no threat of a snuff shortage. An onion shortage looms, but tha garlic supply Is holding up well. So are all the alleged shortages holding up well. a a H.

OLD TIME REBUKE (The Dallas Chronicle) "A man advertises In the Eugene Guard for wife, and desires the ladles to write to him. It is a safe bet that a man who can't hustle fast enough to get a buxom, hand some wife from the grand aggregation of pretty and sensible girls in Oregon, would starve one to death if ha had one."

A critical situation faces the pear growers of the valley. One of the largest Bosc crops of recent years is ready to be picked and packed. There is plenty of labor to do the picking. There is not, as yet, plenty of labor or half enough to do the packing. This is an appeal to the "packers" to step up and do their duty. FOR there are plenty of them in the valley. For some raoenr. not oYnlainprl thpv Vinvf" hppn. and are. A t HUVI1 ,W V..-'"..' " J ' backward about coming forward. We are quite sure if they fully understood the situ ation they would hesitate For if this Bosc crop is the next two or three weeks, a large part of it will be a total loss. That would not only lost to the individual orchardists but even more ser ious thousands of dollars in this community. Certainly no right-minded citizen wants that to happen if it can possibly be prevented. And if those wno nave Deen trainea to pacK win uo so, it can ue prevented. gUT even more important than that. Fresh fruit is an essential in the fighting diet of our armed forces. A large portion of the local pears have already been sold to the army and navy. If these pears aren't packed obviously the amy and navv can't tret them. Certainly no one wishes to de- p1iVe our bes at the fighting fronts of any essential foods-foods regarded as so important to maintain- " l 1 l 1 SIMM .1 MA.nlt 4lii wAn. ing prupei neauu aim icsuHiiig iiiuicue, mat pecu shipments are given a war priority only second to munitions and similar military necessities. That is why above we used the word "duty." COR it is a DUTY at a time like this, to see that every pear that has been SOLD to the army and navy is DELIVERED to the army and navy. But this can't be done unless the pears, that are picked, are also packed. And to repeat this must be done in the next two or three weeks or it will be too late. IXT'E can't believe any further word is needed to get " every resident in the valley, who has been train ed to pack pears, and isn't just as soon as arrangements can be made. Is Europe Going Communist? The exalted order of War commentators, type and air, is in a great stew over what to do with private in dustry in post-war Germany. Should it be distributed among her enemies, retained and controlled by the allies or destroyed. This is what might be termed an academic ques tion. For there will be no private industry in Germany after the war. ERMANY will be a communistic state. What in-. dustry remains will be turned over to the state; new industry if any will be started and operated by the state. Ihe privately owned Krupp and Skoda steel works, the various and sundry industrial trusts and cartels, tne nuge snip building yards will all be liquidated, j out there are now only 12 ted And so will their owners, unless that has already been 1 eral agencies handling children accomplished. H 0V do we know? We DON'T know. No one this crazy world. But that years ago and we are going to it At any rate the recognition of the post-war gov ernment in Italy indicates as much. For that govern ment is now completely under the control of the pro letariat the Italian communists and socialists. It was no doubt a bitter pill for John Bull to swal low. But John will have to swallow many more bitter pills before he is through with this European post-war mess! Puzzling When General Eisenhower took command of all allied forces in France he nis nrst press contcrence that 01 one thing they could be sure, he would never tell them anything that was untrue. And as far as this department is concerned, we have no doubt whatever that the General has kept his word to the letter. Therefore when he says that since D-day the Ger man casualties total 800,000, we have no doubt the ligure is correct. On the other hand if the correct, and the official estimate of German manpow er before "D-day" as well, then we have this puzzling situation : German losses since D-day In German losses In the east Total German losses 2,450,000 Official estimate total combat German troops before D-dny, east and west 3,800,000 German combat troops available today all fronts J50.000 Assuming German combat troops are evenly di vided between the two fronts that would leave only isbout 175,000 men fighting in the west at the pres lent time I no longer. not picked and packed in mean thousands of dollars purchasing power lost to doing so, to get on the job can KNOW anything in was our prediction five to be stubborn and stick told the newspaper men at Russian claims are also the west. 800,000 1,650.000 News Behind The News By Paul MaJlon Washington, Sept. 27 The Pepper sub-committee came up in the senate a few days back with the re sults of nine months or more of pro-; found study of juvenile delin-' quency. The tome had a tone of august severity and It said the com-1 m i 1 1 e e had . heard 80 wit nesses. Howev- j Paul MaUoo er, it did not! say who these witnesses were, j and I would judge from the con-i elusions that they might have been the children. I . . I THE main philosophical con- elusion, for instance, was that "children aro people." Frankly, I always thought they were inv mature people who needed to be handled, led, Inspired and may be spanked now and then for their own good, although I know the children mostly object to that. The report puts the mothers on a high plane also as good peo ple, and takes the happy slant that the children who are run ning wild lust represent a sign of the times. As for handling children, the report says such things as "In stituting a curfew law, exclud ing them from motion pictures, sterner discipline or lowering of the Juvenile age Is unlikely to lead to the heart of the prob lem." MO, no, you cannot have stern- ' er discipline or deprivations. What must you have, Senator Pepper? I think he must have been grinning in the direction of the election booth when he wrote the answer, after months of study from 50 witnesses, "The child should be within reach of churches, community centers and youth organizations, where, with other children, he can share his hours of worship, play, recreational activities," he wrote, or rather the report says If he WTote it, because it sounds a lot like the ladles in the chil dren's bureau of the labor de partment. I always thought the children eould pretty weU reach the churches now. There are a lot of them around. He might have made more of a point, the way I look at it, if he had suggested the churches reach the children. As for reaching the play grounds, I can see rather clearly what Senator Pepper Is reachnig for. He wants new ones built, a reach which has often been stretched from Washington car rying funds from the treasury or from the municipal treasuries. This may be one answer for child recreation If more play grounds are really needed In l some localities but It is also the answer to a politician's dream, more spending. N PRECISELY the same ethe- LnSKMTra problems so it wants another one. "The committee knows of no federal agency whose services could be dispensed with safely," it concludes. "Neither does the committee know of any federal agency set up In such a way that it can provide adequate leader ship and coordination In the whole broad field of delinquency protection." It seems to me I have heard that solution before in connec tion with many other deficien cies and failures of government leadership. yilE report recommends that this new commission "for chil dren and young people be es tablished In the office of war mobilization" (now that the war is nearly over) and that the new bureau establish "child-guidance clinics" as an integral part of the school system over (he county. For this, it recommends federal funds for "grants-in-aid to states" the old money answer again. There are many other similar conclusions In the report, but I think the most Important one behind It was not directly men tioned namely, that an elec tion Is scheduled for Novem-1 ber 7.

In 3 Strengths ADDICTS TO TAKE RE Japanese War Halts Flow Of Opium Users Unable To Obtain Contraband , Br Charles Hull United Press Correspondent ! St. Louis, Mo. U.PJ The war with Japan has virtually halted ' the smuggling of opium into the : United States and forced thou : sands of narcotic addicts to take j the cure whether they want to or not, John M. Tulley, head of the St. Louis bureau of the treasury department's narcotic division, revealed today that wartime condition hava ffrpatlv rpduced cause of their inability to ob tain contraband drugs. He pre dicted that if the war with Ja pan continues another year, drug addiction in the United States may be completely wiped out. Tulley reported that there are less than 50 of what he called non-medical users of narcotic drugs" in the eastern federal dis trict of Missouri as compared to more than 500 in 1941 before ! Importation of opium, the basic property of practically all habit-forming drugs," Tulley ex plained, "is so restricted today that the supply is barely ade quate to meet the demand for legitimate users of drugs. Strict Supervision 'There are only three firms in the United States that process opium and the treasury depart ment Is able to keep the strictest supervision over the distribution of opium drugs from these manu facturers through retail sources to the ultimate consumer. "The great amount of narcotics used by the addict was smuggled Into the country and was not processed by these three firms. It was this contraband supply that kept the government busy in pre-war days." Tulley added that the few ad dicts who have not taken in voluntary cures are being driven to extremes to get habit-forming drugs and "our department is rapidly closing In on their source of supply. "This condition does not ap ply only to the eastern district of Missouri," Tulley said, "but Is nationwide. Within another year, if the war with Japan last that long, we should have the traffic stamped out entirely with only a few cases here and there where someone, able to get drugs legi timately, misuses that privilege." The druggist who sells pare goric, timeworn soother of cry ing babies, is the narcotic agents' big problem today, Tulley de clared. He explained how addicts buy paregoric in varying quan tities in several stores, burn it to remove the alcohol and freeze it to eliminate the camphor. "The residue," Tulley said, "is then thawed out and Injected by use of a hypodermic syringe or needle temporarily satisfying the ; addict's craving for the drug." i An official of the fire control, U. S. Forest Service, predicted I recently that advanced types of j helicopters developed during the , war will revolutionize fire-fight ing metnods. Helicopters can land in small openings in the forest, on small lakes or moun tain peaks where it would be im possible for an airplane to land, and men and equipment can be brought within striking distance of the fire. Draft deferment for war work ers is nothing new according to selective service, which has dis covered records of occupational deferments in the files of Gen. Gtorge Washington. On June 23, 1777, the board of war recom mended to the continental con Eress that 11 workmen in a "can non and nail rod works" be discharged from the militia be cause they were more useful in "their employment as artificers." The University of Manitoba! was founded in 1877. 1 HDAMC T0NITE at- DREAMLAND MODERN MELODIES RAY'S MUSIS Popular Prices! Flight o Time Madford and Jackson Co.
