That is why the local Shrine club recently, appealed to the good people of this community for financial assistance to neip meet trie cost 01 $150,000 buildinp program. The cenerosity of this community exceeded all expectations. Within a brief time more than $11,000 was contnbutea by people nere. e e e e e MANY youngsters from Jackson County have re nnliaA rlio akillorl on A lrinrllw frontmonf fnr wriipri 1,1 V 114 till UIII11UU UUU UI1IU1J V. -.w. f, the Portland Shrine hospital is so well known. Here was an opportunity to say "thanks" in a tangible way. The opportunity was not overlooked. Records show that it costs $4.87 per day to treat the average crippled child, and 95 days is the average time required for a "cure". Thus, Jackson County's $11,000 contribution is enough to take care of 24 little patients. IN cold statistics, this may not mean a lot. It does mean a great deal, however, when we realize that it opens the door to happy, normal lives for 24 human beings now living in misery and despair. This know ledge should be heart-wanning to all who gave so freely and generously, and to 0. 0. Alenderfer, O. L. Overmyer and the rest of the Shriners who worked so hard on this campaign. H.G. At the end of World War I, it was proposed to prevent World War II by sending all diplomats and politicians to the fore of the battle. Unless something defi nite comes out of theWorld Se curity conference at San Fran cisro soon, it might be worth try ing, as a way to stop World War IIL e e The auto industry Is working on a device that will make it im possible for the owner of a new auto to leave the key In the igni tion for thieves and moths to drive off and wreck.

UNCLE SANTA CLAUS ' (Press Dispatch) "NOTE Now that, we are shipping troops and supplies from Europe through Suez to the Pacific War, Canal tolls run into millions. British war supplies going through the Panama Canal get free tolls under lend-lease." ' e e The wrestling matches . last night were thrilling. Some of the combatants fought harder than a Junior high school boy trying to get out of mowing the lawn. The President the past few days has been the recipient of high praise from Messrs. Hoover and Landon, GOP warhorsea. The former President was the loudest in his acclaim. This is a sign of national unity. Out of it all great good will come, and maybe Boulder Dam, once Hoov er Dam, will again be named for a stateman instead of a rock, see The Bretton Woods agree ments of a world bank, has been passed by the lower house of Congress. A Michigan solon, in favor, says he doubts if anybody understands it perfectly. World prosperity will be yanked out of a plug-hat as If it was a rabbit, see SOCIAL WHIRL DIZZINESS (Los Gatos (Col.) Mail News) "A surprise shower was giv en recently for Fleeka, dachs hund belonging to James L. Lightncr, organist at the Chris tian Church, by the church choir club which met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Dudley on Mariposa avenue. Flecks, who is "expecting," received a "bassinet," "teeth rings, etc., etc." service over, heroes all, returned safely to their homes, their families and their friends! We can conceive of few more perfect human scores possible in this game of life ! e e e e e Down to. the old "Alcazar" the other night to see "They Met In Moscow", another Russian film. As before stated the American movie industry puts on a movie show every evening, most of the films pro duced m this country but some in Russia. Ihe latter are typical, everything on a big scale, a bit crude and melodramatic, but powerful and heav ily seasoned with propaganda. The propaganda isn't dragged in by the heels however. It is inherent in the plot, with the worker (in this case the working girl) and virtue triumphing in the end. "Ivan the lernble was an amusing example. Ihe old "Muscovite Dracula", made up to resemble Jesus Christ, was the victim of persecution by the church and nobility, his wife died of poison (administered by someone else) and he ends up by repelling the hated "Hun"- and uniting his own long-suffering people, presumably under a Soviet form of govern ment! One wonders where his title came from. They say Senator "Happy" Chandler will keep his ob in the Senate while acting as Czar of baseball, the latter an all-time job for the late Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis. The propriety of such action aside, one need not worry about "Happy" suffering a break down from overwork unless he does more in his new job than he did and does, in the senate. R.W.R. Editorial Correspondence Astronomers estimate the av erage heat of the sun at 10,382 degrees. Other than the astron omers' word, there is no proof. There is no demand for shade, and no eggs have been fried on prominent sidewalks this year. OLD FASHIONED GALS ' 'In a more reticent day the given name was not a thing to be used lightly. Neighbors who lived next door to each other for forty years and became fast friends In the process often went to their graves "Mrs. Smith" and "Mrs. Jones" because the title was a piece of dignity that must not be played horse with. A re spectable married woman would sooner have been caught out without her bustle than to have been railed "Sadie" by anyone outside the family and a limited cirrle of old school chums. Had any of her descendants essayed such flippancy they'd have been on bread and water for a week." (Mrs. McGehee (Tlo) In Wood lawn Democrat.) San Francisco, June 5 (Delayed) A banquet was given in honor of the Latin-American delegates at the Lido last night. Nelson Rockefeller and his boss, Secre tary of State Stettinius were there, the latter paying high tribute to Ezequiel Padilla, foreign minister of Mexico, declaring him to be a person of. "great qual ities of heart and mind who has done as much as any one to bring security and safety to the people of the western hemisphere." That was not hot air. Padilla is a man who would rather be a friend of the United States than President of Mexico. He is able, courageous and intelligent, but according to the people of Mexico so pro-American they don't want him in any higher office than the one he now occupies. Had he spent half the time beating the drum for a bigger and better Mexico, that he has spent to strengthen the ties that bind the "colossus of the north" to the small nations south of the Rio Grande, in amity and good will, he, not Comancho would now be in the presidential palace in Mexico City. Nelson Rockefeller is a very nice-appearing young man, expresses himself well, undoubtedly works hard at the job of extending and implementing the Good Neighbor" policy; but he does give one a definite impression of extreme youth and indiscriminating enthusiasms. Today a really beautiful day, sunny and cool, in stead of windy and cold. Walked down to the- Ferry Building and up toward Telegraph Hill, then back to the Ferry. Seeing a large crowd before one of the piers, proceeded to join them, somewhat after the well known practice of the retired fire-horse respond ing to a four-alarm fire. And this WAS news, big news, though it all can't be told. For there at the dock was a transport and over 1000 young soldiers not only home after the toughest fighting American soldiers have ever had, but home for keeps, for them the war is over with their 85 points or more ! Well what a scene, at once inspiring and touching, a time for cheers, and a time for tears! Cheers for those fine, upstanding young chaps, husky and happy and gay, and what a thrilling and yet touching thing happiness and youth can be, returning safe and sound to their wives and their sweethearts and their families ! And tears, well how could they be avoided? Tears of happiness at this return, tears of sorrow for those who never will ! News Behind The News By Paul Mallon u.iwji'."ut,a,miifj l.eAi.i... Paul Manna C We were late or we might have obtained some news regarding boys from Medford, for we were informed by one of the Red Cross workers, there were some veterans from Oregon but she had no list and did not know where one might be obtained. We only hope the news camera men were there for the scenes enacted should be preserved. In fact we wish the camera squad would make a specialty of this sort, rather than getting into everyone's hair at plenary sessions and committee meetings. But what a scene, what a day! Is there a point where there can be too much happi ness as there can be too much steam in a steam engine, and unless there is a safety valve, there is destruction? mere Is a well known phrase he or she, "almost died of joy!" Well if there IS such a thing we are certain it was reached at Pier (deleted by censor) today. But sufficient unto the day is the happiness thereof ! We are pretty certain of this: very few of the thous and boys will ever be happier, even if they live to be old as Methuselah than they were todav. sound in mind and body, young, their live? before them, their l New York, June 8 The main reason Mr. Truman dispatched Messrs. Hopkins and Davies to Moscow and London has not been hint ed. The official explana t i o n has been that they were to arrange an Im minent meet ing of the Big Three, which, may be broad truth cone elved to cover a lot more important truths. Indeed, a suspicion is extant that Mr. Tru man has some new ideas on world affairs -which he wished to test before pushing. Yet the men had to go for a very simple and significant rea son. From five Roosevelt associ ates at the Yalta conference, Mr. Truman received five different versions of what the agreement there actually was. All of them, including Mr. Hopkins, Anne Boettlger (who was as close to Mr. R. there as anyone, being not only secretary but companion and consoler to her father). State Secretary Stettinius, politico- naval adviser Adm. Leahy and Jarrfes F. Byrnes, furnished vari ations and Mr. Byrnes is sup posed to have some stenographic notes. All this conflicting evl- dence concerned not only ramifi cations of the veto-voting power of the Big Five, but many other important matters. The steno graphic notes were called for, and analyzed, but they failed to clear the points of variance. by a committee of which our friend Ecuador held the chair manship, would give the govern ing security council of the new world undiscussed, sensational authority. It would wield armed force against nonconformists, but far more than this power of mili tary suppression, it could com pletely wreck a country econom ically by complete or partial interruption of rail, sea, air, pos tal, telegraphic, radio and other means of communication and (this last being the least) sever ance of diplomatic and economic relations."

Churchill and Eden. It is quite possible the division of Germany (leav ing us the smallest and least im portant portion, presumably be cause we need all our troops in Hie Pacific) is the first result of the mysterious journeys. There may be others. Meanwhile, a sort of sub-com mittee of the United Nations con ference peace enforcement com mittee has put forward a plan which revises the whole careful conception of the loose postwar organization and puts not only teeth but tusks into the charter or rather Into Us proposed sec tion of the charter, as there may be other sections which round off or put braces on the tusks. This new provision, produced JJOW this could be done with- out completely occupying the miscreant nation, or bombing it into devastation, the commit tee did not explain. But it also proposed, as if the foregoing were not enough, to "conduct demonstrations, (whatever these may be) blockade and other op erations" of sea, land and air. Now this devastation is not to be done by an international army, but by a "police" force maintained by each nation with out itself, subject to orders from the security council. In short, the council could order Ecuador to do all' these things to any other nation. The way it is speci fied to work, each nation would put its armies or "certain armed forces" at the disposal of the security council. Who is to wield this great pro posed new power of destruction, unsuggested In the world up to now? The security council will j have 11 members and any seven of these can operate it on most matters but on war-making ques tions any large nation (Big Five) now has a veto right to prevent action by its single objection. i I CO the new theory of a belliger- j ent peace runs right Into the much-discussed veto issue, and, thus, the size and sharpness of the sensational new teeth de-; pend upon what is done finally about the veto and the whole voting set-up on the council. J Already the formula for peace" Is defective in giving five nations a veto right, whereas only three can really enforce world peace. Only the United States, Britain and Russia actually can keep the peace because they have the only important military forces, yet France and China share veto rights. But will this defect not be widened and the fault made . ludicrous if all veto is abandoned 1 and the armies of the big na tions can be moved around as pawns In the hands of the little nations? What are we getting into here? The well grows deeper and darker. i i PARTS and SERVICE for all makes ot WASlltiKa and RbFHKiEKATllRS YOUNGER S APPLIANCE SERVICE CO. 31 JJ.
