No kraut editor ever called Adolf Hitler, "Ad". Metropolitan Democrats are mad at the Multnomah county "registrar bill" passed by the last legislature. They have not yet asked Secy. Ickes, who has not peeped in weeks, to say something mean about the meas ure, in a speech praising Bonne ville Dam. Valley pessimists fear there will be no spring, and reel tne same way about summer. There has been no weather yet, potent enough to make shade enjoyable and cause people to mobilize for a picnic, This week is Sunday School week. Most of the Older Genera tion have attended, but only a small minority of the crowd that will fight the next war, can say the same. In the Coast league, the Port land team is out in front, as far as Gen. Patton's tank army, to the amazement of everybody, in cluding themselves. Extemporaneous barking by residential area dogs Is again causing light sleepers to react profanely. TALE OF TWO CITIES" "But Medford has a nation al reputation as the source of fine fruit, especially Cornice pears. It is a thriving city, which allegedly- does more business by parcels post, than any other town save Chicago. Over the mountains is Klam ath Falls, a rough and ready town which illustrates to per fection the American capacity for achieving dilapl da t i o n without achieving antiquity".

Sunday, April 8, 194S Spare Clothing Needed It Is a pathetic picture we are getting these days of the people in liberated Luzon and the countries that only recently made up the sprawling Greater Reich. As United Nations forces have penetrated into lands held in slavery by the foe they have found intense suffering and despair on every hand people threadbare with tattered ed bodies disease rampant because of insufficient clothing. But this is the situation It is hard to bring the facts in comfort and security. IF fire should ravage the there isn't a man, woman or child who wouldn't promptly and cheerfully ciomine ana Deaaing ior Yet, in this shrinking world, ARE our neighbors and neighborliness will extend need is fully recognized. million men, women and children in war-ravaged lands are desperately in need of these necessities of life "will, we are sure, touch the hearts of every person in this country of every American. . . . . THIS month, when attics, basements, closets and trunks should be cleaned for the spring season, is the time to dig up every item of clothing that can possibly be spared and turn it in for the United National Clothing Collection. The need is immediate and great for mills and looms in liberated countries have been idle and warm, wearable clothing stripped by invaders. IJERE is, indeed, a golden chance to do a good deed. Here is a fine opportunity to make a real contri bution to the cause of lasting peace, for through this aid in the rehabilitation of war-torn nations can we build firm friendships in other lands for years to come. IJERE in Medford. the 1 merce, with characteristic enthusiasm and energy is conducting the drive, with generous support from the city and county schools and local service clubs. Receiving depots for clothing contributions have been established at 33 South Riverside and at Sixth and Fir streets. THE sobering knowledge that spare shoes, clothing and bedding in the attics and closets of Medford homes can actually save lives should be all that is necessary to assure a successful drive here. H.G. IN MEMORY Of our Son, Maurice, on his 22nd birthday, v. ho lost his life in the service of his country, January 24th, 194S on Luzon. May this poem help the other parents who have suffered as we have. To All Parents By Edgar Guest I'll lend you, for a little while, a child of mine, He said, For you to love the while he lives, and mourn for when he's dead. It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back. take care of him for me? He'll bring his charms to glad den you, and should his stay be brief. You'll have his lovely memories as solace f&r your grief. I cannot promise he will stay since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught down there I want (his child to learn. I've looked the whole world over in My search for teachers true And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes, I have selected you. Now, will you give him all your love, nor think the labor in vain. Nor hate me when I come to call to take him back again?" I fancied that I heard them say, "Dear Lord, Thv will be done" For all the Joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tender ncss, we'll love him while we may, And (or the happiness we've known, (orcver grateful stay; Put should the angels call for him much sooner than we've planned, ' SEE THE La?3 PLOW WONDER : THE WORLD J COSTS NO WORE THftH ORDINARY Eaihsrton's 808 SOUTH RIVERSIDE rags covering undernourish thousands of miles away, home to Americans living homes of neighbors here, bring forth spare shoes, me uniorcunaie vicums, the people of other lands we believe the spirit of across the seas once the The knowledge that 125 Junior Chamber of Cnm.

INO atow Mi MOM TRASH PLOWS 2 Farm St ore PHONE 3146 'IZVES1' LISTS JAP AGGRESSION, Moscow, April 7 (U.R) Japan not only aided Germany in its war against Russia, but was "ready to gamble on German cards," the official newspaper Izvestla said today in pointedly commenting on Russia's denun elation of the Russo-Japanese neutrality treaty. Izvestia pictured Japan as a potential aggressor against Rus sia during the period of Ger many's initial success and cata logued a series of Japanese ag gressions that began with the Russian revolution of 1818. "Germany's temporary suc cesses over the soviet union turned the heads of many Japa nese politicians who were ready to gamble on German cards," it said. But the rebuff which the red army administered at the gates of Moscow and in numer ous other sections sobered up the hotheads in Japan. "However. Japan's ruling mili tary and political circles even at that time developed the idea of necessity to exploit a golden op portunity and to begin the ma terialization of their secret im perialistic designs in the south sea. leading to Pearl Harbor. "During the most difficult time for the soviet union, Japan continued to strengthen her col laboration with Germany, which was not only of high political significance, but constituted sub stantial aid to Germany against the soyiet union." Izvestia said that even when it became clear that Germany's "adventure" was doomed to col lapse, Japan did her best to aid the reich. and under those cir cumstances, the neutrality pact became meaningless.
