The month started with $1,000,000,000 rain, and deter mined effort was made to rain a million times. Roughly speaking, it was a bum month, and nobody can be blamed for speaking roughly. It was a record break er. Not even the oldest pioneer can recall when there were so many mud puddles in the coun ty. At. no time was It warm enough to predict a fuel shortage next winter and urge people to . fill their oil tanks and wood sheds now. Due to the excessive moisture a number of husbands got out of. watering the lawn for 80 days. . ., e e e Quite a few have international worries on their minds and have started to "fear Russia." Several have not been as scared since the second time Hitler and Mus golirri met at Brenner Pass and each went home with a hide full of French brandy. Stockmen have started salting the beef shortage In', the hills. Several report they are shy a steer and believe its resemblance to a deer has caused It to disap pear as venison. . r There are two schools of thought pondering the fata of Emperor Hirohito of Japan. One school wants to know "What ahaU we do with HlrohltoT" and the other, "What shall wa not do to HirohitoT" The senior class of Old Med ford get their sheepskins tonight and march into the. cold, cruel, crazy and wet world. For a tarter, the "sweet girl gradu ates" all wore fluffy formats In stead of a rolled-up pair of over alls and their brother s cowboy shirts with the tall unfurled, lore ana an.- ....

Fair enough. e e HOW LIKE A LADY (Palo Alta (Cal.)

The illegal product would be cheaper and look at the fun the customer would have going after DOWN ON THE FARM BLUES " 'It's bad," he sighed. "Rained so hard a lot of the wheat has been knocked flat on the ground. Besides, too much moisture can be ust as bad as not enough. The wire worms are workin' again, and the wheat now Is so tender that if it clears up suddenly and gets hot the stalks will wilt.' " Our farmer friend went on his wi mournfully. It's hard life, we decided. Nothing ever comes out just right" (The Dalles Chronicle.) - . ,twbiine Highway 99 Choseri The people of this community and all southwestern Oregon will applaud the state highway commission's choice of Highway 99 as the official inter-regional north-south route through Oregon. A presidential committee had previously made the same selection. California's highway commission recently named 99 as that state's choice for the national highway from the Oregon line to Weed, These, unquestionably, were factors in the dicision of the Oregon commission.

The route through Medford is more suited to year 'round travel, serve's more than twice as many Deoole. and areas of far greater economic wealth. Four connecting roads to the Pacific coast make the 99 route valuable from the standpoint of national defense while further serving the people of Oregon's coastal counties and the Redwood Empire. e e a WHAT does this inter-regional designation mean?

It means that the traffic that will naturally flow along such a national highway system, will pass through the Rogue River valley. It means that Highway 99 will be constructed with 24 foot pavement and 10-foot shoulders on each side, while state standards call for 22-foot pavement and 5-foot side shoulders. f!nnsrrnfr.inn on the svstem of inter-regional high- w . ... . a y- ways must, of course, wait until after the war. une purpose of the project wiiDe tccreaie post-war juus.

Likewise, they agree with Commissioner Chessman who, when presenting the motion that the Pacific Highway be designated rpirofrnition of the advan- tages inherent in the Klamath route and stressed the need for its future development ' nlwava stood for sound high- way development throughout the state. They have never opposed road, construction in any other area. They are sincere in advocating the early improvement of Highway 97. , , , . . MANY people here have felt that Commissioner Arthur Schaupp campaigned too openly and vigorously for the inter-regional designation of the route through his home town of Klamath talis, ine good grace in which he accepted the considered view point of his fellow commissioners and his willingness to tender a unanimous verdict in favor of Highway oq ,,, oaon nnv resentment that might have been felt this side of the Cascades. H.G. It Is not like raw blood affected by exposure to air, keeps Indefin itely (almost), looks more like a sulphur-powder than blood, and yet takes the place of blood when used in transfusions, as far as shock effects are concerned. (It does not as some suppose replace blood that has been lost.) And finally it can be used for practically any blood-types, transfusions are only effective where blood types are of the same group. The final process was one of the most Interesting packing the tin cans of dry blood plasma in water-proof cases for shipment overseas. A type of composition has been perfected recently which is both light and waterproof so the foreman stated, if the ship is torpedoed these cases can be thrown out with -buoys attached and later picked up, none the worse for the 'experience. As we have control of the air and seas this can be and is being DONE. R.W.R.

San Francisco, May 27th: ... The amazing thing to your correspondent about San Francisco for the past month has not been the cablears but the weather. We have visited San Francisco frequently for over 40 years and had to stay here on doctor's orders once for nearly six months, but never before have we seen such continuously cold and windy weather, day In, day out. . Took trip across the bay to Berkely today, and actually with out a winter overcoat, muffler and hat over the editorial ears, we would have suffered a severe case of frost-bite. - - Among the list of "fears" we failed to mention what is perhaps the greatest ope, the U. S. Senate. Everything the U. S. delegation does and does not do, Is with the Senate In mind. What will the Senate think about it7 The sad fate of the League of Nations 2S years ago is, of course, responsible for this. And It Is perfectly natural and sensible too. For what earthly profit would there be in drawing up the most sublime document the world has ever seen, IF the U. S. Senate should refuse to OK It? None at alll It la really too bad. For from the standpoint of world peace a far better document would be produced here, were that fear not In the back of the minds of the conference delegates, and particularly the delegates of the United States. Many of the holes In this world peace fabric can be blamed on that, and that alone. e e e e . Among our extra-curricular activities was a trip to Berkeley to look over the "Cutter Laboratories", the only biological pro duction plant of Its kind west of the Rocky Mountains. (Or perhaps It was the Mississippi river, we are not certain of the geography, or the precise words of our guide.) At any rate it was a very Interesting trip and the Cutter Labora tories well worth seeing. "Buckets of Blood!" We never expected to see them except In literature, but there they were at the Cutter "Lab" for this 80-year-old institution sends more blood plasma to the Far Pacific than any other cor poration, And blood plasma, as everyone knows, has really revolutionized the treatment of casualties In this man's war. reduced the fatal ities to a point below anything ever before Imagined. e a e ' e e There was quite a press delegation, among them a famous foreign correspondent (whose name we will withhold), a young Chinese editor from Chungking, and a representative of a French and believe it or notl an Austrian language paper in New York, at least that is what he said. The latter Intrigued your correspondent for the more buckets of blood that appeared the paler he got, until he was actually ashen and we were all for calling the trip off until first-aid could be summoned. However he kept going and finally got the better of It, when we returned to the main office where they served cakes and coffee he was practically chipper, and color ok. One of the girl correspondents, however, fainted.) The details of the manufacture would hardly interest anyone. consisting mainly of heat, cold and centrlfuging, that is putting the substance In a high-speed revolving mechanism which separates light elements from the heavy and vlceversa. There is also the plasma fractionation process, producing Fibrin-Foam, Globulin, Thrombin, Serum-Albumin, etc., etc. These products arc Invaluable In anemia treatments and cases of severe hemorrhage. (This raw blood. Incidentally, is shipped by plane daily from Portland, the time allowance being 72 hours, but most of the blood being treated here In halt that time.) And of course that Is what makes the blood plasma to valuable, If A Paul Mallnn Washington, May 31 The matter of how to live peaceably in a world with Russia as primary power pushing aggres sively lor her radically dif ferent methods and purposes, has come swift ly to the fore g r o if n d in Was hin gt o n and London news lately Moscow seems to be directing communist leader Earl Browder back into domestic political campaigning The French communists already are organizing politically to get ihe government of France from the democrats to the socialists. and their appeal to Browder to do likewise in the United States was fully displayed by the com munlst paper in New York which ordinarily operates on the Moscow line. , e CTALIN had called off Brow- der after one of his interna tional meetings with President Roosevelt. I assume he is un leashing Browder again now. Mr. Truman has dispatched Russian-sympathizer Joe Davles to London and Mr. Roosevelt's intimate man-Friday, Harry Hop kins, who was on the inside of the Russian appeasement negotia tions tcMoscow. A report has been published that Davles warned the British we would not go to war against Russia to save British interests on the continent. I do not know how true the report is, but prob ably it represents the feelings of our people. We do not want to go to war with Russia about anything (We had the same feeling about Hitler when .he was rising to power.) We wish to live In peace with her. The question is how. cracies that he Is trying to get control of the world. fHERE Is another way. It manifestly unlust for Russia to be permitted free use of demo cratic privileges here while denying the same privileges to us in ineir country. Mr. Truman, should develop his foreign policy to grant our ngnts only to those who reclpro to ib, ana grant us the same rights. If Stalin Is going to run poli tical candidates for office in the United States. France. China and elsewhere, suspicion can be removea U he opens Russia and allows us to run candidates mere against him. If he is going to keep his con ironed press active here, there and everywhere, a simple sense oi justice snouid allow us to estapnsh a Moscow edition of our newspapers. That would make it even. That wonlrl elim. inate suspicions. As the com munists have infiltrated into our labor unions, we should be allowed to enter theirs. Culturally, economically and politically she has isolated her self, while infiltrating . into everything in the world. Her skies and land are closed to travelers. Her mind is closed to outside ideas. This Dolicv can not do anything except generate aistrust abroad, and only Stalin can do anything effectice about it. Flight o Time Mediord and Jackson Co.

High 88, low ACADEMY SLATES ENCEMENT ii tin TALKED the problem out with an eminent official of this government now involved in those negotiations, whose name I do not feel free to use. It was his opinion that the whole cause of the trouble is Russian sus picion of the United States and our suspicion of her. I am un able to believe this. Quite apparently, there Is much more than suspicion In volved. In fact, two methods of government, sharply at vari ance in all their ways and aims. have simply come into a very natural conflict all along the line. CONSIDER the Browder phase. We have no Browders work ing for us In Russia. We can organize no International move ment against the communist way of life there. The communist party is the only one permitted to exist by specific law. We have no democratic paper In Moscow, such as the Daily Worker In New York. Here we have a free democratic way of press and politics while Russia has an exclusive government press, one-party undemocratic system. These two conflicting ways are bound to run into trouble on every line, but they certainly could live without war if, as my friend says, suspicions were removed. There are many ways In which these could be re moved. Stalin could do it with one stroke. He could permanently estab lish his promised line of aban doning the world revolutionary principles of the Internationale, withdraw his controlled press and politicians from the demo cracies, from France and the United States, and run Russia the way he chooses. With such a step he would dispel the suspicions of demo- MV official friend and I agreed no formula could be written which could guarantee peace in this particular new world situa tion.. Only by the use of the utmost intelligence in handling each problem as it rises, can we achieve our goal with Russia. Intelligence pre-suDDOses aban donment of propaganda and re jection of diplomatic - colored news from Moscow.
