They once waged rued among themselves that left them with three courthouses. If history should repeat itself, as it often does, they might wind up with three Pacific Highways. However, all they will get out of the current shennigan will be candidate for Congress for the eastern Oregon district to de feat in the May 1S46 primary. Avid readers of the 25 cents editions of blood and thunder "who-dun-lt" mysteries are get ting their thrills and chills else where these days. They get their daily diet of gore and abys mal cussedness instead from newspaper accounts of German atrocities. In them grandpar ents of the Reich spend their spare time helling Der Fuehrer and stoking the furnaces of Ges tapo crematoriums with the bodies of starved and tortured prisoners and slaves "MAN'S BEST FRIEND" (Coos Bay Times) "Here in the heart of America's last great stand of timber, here on the shores of the mighty Pacific, that noble, great and mighty animal, the horse, faces the terrible fat of being regulated by city ordinance." The OPA Is again monkeying with the meat situation and purported shortage thereof. It now appears the American pub lic, allergic no end to regimen tation by bureaus of their bread baskets, want more meat and less OPA for change. The Portland police have solved a mystery. A "safe" thrown Into the Tulatln river turns out to be stove that somehow escaped shipment to Japan as scrap iron. a As long as they can't do It themselves, thousands hope Gen. Patton captures A. Hitler, the Nazi outlaw, who is now near the Berchtcsgaden hideout of the former papcrhanger. It would be a great honor for old B. & G. and too much of one for Adolf. HOW TO TELL IT'S OVER (Brentwood (Cal.) News) "We're being told, that we may not know when the war 'is over in Europe, but we'll know for sure when Walter Winchell and Drew Pearson get to feuding over which of them won It single-handed." i The world security parley voo at Frisco, in the problem of a Pole settlement, have hit one. The Russians announce It is something to be settled between them and the Poles, with the Poles doing all the settling a e "On page 114, chapter 19, of the stenographer's handbook Is sued by the Interior Department is this bit of choice Information: 'In bnck of is a vulgarism. Sny 'Behind.' " (Washington D. C.) Post.) A bit "finicky," but flabbergastingly wonderful. The post-war period will see wide use by civilians of "walkie talkies." The contraption will enable a pedestrian to start a rumor and not believe It when he gets to the bank corner. IN CASE OF A SHORTAGE East Liverpool, O.

For this is one of the windiest and coolest April days on the Golden Gate we have ever experienced, the opening day of the long-awaited Peace confer ence. It presents a problem of readjustment. If this proves to be . 4v. n.,ki.ti nnH Hisennnected reDort. perhaps certain allow ances will be made. They should be. We have Just returned from the opening ceremony in me beautiful Memorial Opera House and needless to say it was a GREAT success. How could it be otherwise? Ceremonies always are when there Is a laree and enthusiastic audience, and the S.R.O. sign was out early at this one. In fact we were reminded constantly and still can't shake off the impression, of a very large and stylish wedding we reported once upon a time in New York' City when we were working on space for the N. Y. Globe and Commercial Advertiser. It wasn't held at the Metropolitan Opera House but It was held at a large and fashionable church on Fifth Avenue, and everyone was there including the gals from Macy's. We are a bit hazy on the details, but we think It was a Goelet gal who married some foreign Dune, or son of a ahem! DUKEI At any rate the crowd was tremendous, and the entire' N. Y. fire and police departments had to be called out to prevent a riot. For everyone was there including Julie O'Grady and the Colonel's lady, and they were going to see the bride If they had to commit mayhem to do it. And that is about what they did. , o Well so at this ceremony, not a wedding ceremony, but in many ways it resembled one. And as wedding ceremonies always are, a GREAT success. At least we have never attended a wedding ceremony that could be called a failure. The bride is AMOST always beautiful; the groom Is handsome, and the groom in this case was none other than Secretary of State Stettinlus who is certainly THATI and the flower-girls, and the music, and did one ever see such gorgeous presents? and the people, Heaven above EVERYONE WAS THEREI If everyone wasn't there, WHO WASN'T? We had a press-seat fortunately. But had we not arrived early that would have profited us nothing. For while the press-seats were limited the public admission tickets were NOT; the whole affair being conducted apparently very much as Mayor Kelly of Chicago conducts the final night of the Democratic conventions, passes out about three times as many tickets as there are seats and lets Nature and his loyal constituents, take their respective courses! Well that was what happened this afternoon. We have no idea how many people were in the local Opera House; but we have a very clear Idea that at least 65 of them could not find seats, and were packed along the edges, while very attractive and tfell meaning but somewhat ineffective "usherettes", told them they had to clear the aisles because the fire and police regulations of the city of San Francisco, demanded the same. Such demands were not recognized at THIS meeting. But, to repeat, it was a very successful CEREMOrfYI The bride was beautiful, the groom was handsome, (they say they are very much in love REALLY!) and everything went off as such ceremonies should go off, with dispatch, with pageantry, music and flowers, "may they live happily ever after!" And there If you will pardon us for the interruption, is the RUB! This ceremony like all ceremonies, kr almost all, was a great success but It was only a CEREMONY. We don't cure whether it was the Episcopal a beautiful one by the wayl the Catholic, the Methodist, even the Unitarian, the point is, It makes very little difference what the particular ceremony was, or is the important point is what will the future be? HOW WILL THE THING WORK OUTI And that depends. Not upon the nature of trie ritual, or the ceremony, but upon the natures and characters of the chief parties involved, I.e.: The bride and groom. It is up to THEM, isn't it? We can see only one answer to that question: "IT IS!" And so with this Peace Conference, or at least the first day of it. You see, like all wedding ceremonies, this one isn't for this week or next week, this year or next year, but for the years to come, for LIFE in fact. It is all very easy now. Only avowed enemies of the Axis are" here, the Big Four are In command, the Big Three In fact, Great Britain, Russia and the United States, and who would dare oppose them? - , There are, of course, certain differences to adjust between Russia and the Anglo-Americans, as to Poland, the Pacific Islands per haps, maybe Japan. But In the main there ar no serious obstacles to overcome. Precisely so with most wedding ceremonies. They all start out very much the same. The bride and groom are young( all life is before them, they are, usually very much in love, and all looks promising and joyous, but, The future does not depend upon the success of the wedding as a ceremony, or a spectacle or a pageant, or upon anything really, But the respective characters of the principals and the precise nature of their attachment, and of course, FATE. a a a So, with this ceremony just concluded. It was a great, success, the crowd was huge, the applause was loud and spontaneous, but, Just what was and isthe nature of their attachment? What will prove to be the characters of the chief participants, and their powers of attachment and adjustment. Of course only the future can tell. a But (we grant it is a chestnut yet still holds good) as the man who jumped from the 76th floor of the Empire State building as he passed the 56th floor remarked, "Everything is ok THUS far!" a We liked Roger Lapham, the Honorable Mayor of San Francisco, the best as far as the speeches were concerned. Why? Because he was brief, to the point, and avoided the everlasting cliches so common at such a time. He also suggested rather than enumerated the difficulties in this or any program designed to maintain world peace, and dwelt upon not a road to a PERFECT world, but a road to a BETTER one. President Truman's speech was good, very good in fact, but to us at least it lacked originality and that subtle something that comes under the general heading of inspiration. It was good, not distinguished. We arrived on the Lark this morning with the East Indian dele gation and ran into the Russian delegation some of them on Geary street near the St. Francis hotel. Could anyone ask for a more striking study In contrasts, the East Indians and the Slovaks? The former -the most strikingly handsome and refined looking group of men and women we have seen since the World's Fair of 1893; the latter as coarse and crude as some of Orozoco's natives, and as vital and impressive. These two probably represent the two outstanding problems in this con ference, India and Russia. Ran into Seth Bullis, of Copco, as we arrived at Third and Townsend this a.m., and at the Opera House ran into General Glenn Jackson's papa from Albany, Oregon. The former meeting his daughter-in-law; the latter was here to see the excitement and reported incidentally that Colonel Glenn will soon report to Washington, D. C. How unreal everything seems! It probably has something to do with the hurried Mexican trip and the fact that for three weeks our normal means of communica tion were entirely cut off. Never heard of Ernie Pyle's death until we reached Tucson, Ariz., and now back in the U. S. A., found it almost impossible to believe President Roosevelt really had DIED! Two very different men, but it isn't the same world, or the same war, WITHOUT them! R.W.R.

In a letter to Prentice Cooper, ex-governor of Tennessee and chairman of the National Ad visory Garden committee, Mr. Truman said: There is greater need now than at any time since the war began for more gardens and bet ter gardens, whether they are at home, In community plots or in company-employe gardens." The President commended the families who Joined in the vic tory garden program last year. This great source of extra man power must be used to the "iul lest extent again In 1945, lie said.

OPA is launching the new program on a nation-wide basis in an effort to bring about a more equitable distribution of . meat, extermi nate black market operations and inform the general public on the necessity of continued strict rationing of meat, it was said.

Adding to the interest in the meeting is the fact that the meat shortage, heretofore little felt locally, is becoming more pronounced. Certain retailers in Medford have been practical ly without fresh meat for the past two dayt and press . dis patches in Klamath Falls are to the effect that the shortage there is acute, with some dis tributors entirely without meat this week.
