His palace guards should be composed of American ser geants, who fought in New Gui nea, on Guadalcanal, in the Sol omons, at Saipan, Leyte, Iwo Jima and Tarawa and other points on the bloody way to Tokyo. Hardened by war, and acquainted with the tricky tem peraments of the Nipponese, they could adroitly toss him under the Imperial bed, or out the palace window If occasion required.

Fears are felt there will be no room for the teachers. Ex-President Hoover warns the nation to beware the "creeping socialism" of Great Britain, and charges this nation has been in flicted with samples of it In re cent years. Mr. Hoover is held in high disregard by the masses. Nothing succeeds like notions op posed by him. He was blamed as the cause of the 1933 panic, and unless he holds his tongue will be listed as progenitor of tne one coming up. e e "Borrowed from the Cossacks Is this overblouse, which the ca reer woman may don for loung ing on her nights at home: worn wilh trousers of black crepe or velvet both are swank for fall it's a conversation piece."

H.G. I Monday. Aug. 13, 194S Will Peace Be Dull? A good friend of ours wonders what is going to happen to the newspapers, when and if peace comes. With no more war-news, the world, he fears, will be so dull and void of excitement, he doubts if people will read newspapers anymore. Of course they will ! Our prediction is they will read newspapers as much or more and listen to the radio news less. AS far as a peaceful world being a dull one is con- cMTiflfl that is the sort of "dullness" this natter. and we believe a vast majority of the people, will welcome with several loud hosannas and a tiger! This will be particularly true of those who have sons and husbands, fathers and boy friends still at the front ! NO, THEY won't find the world of peace so dull! .LJllslb Mill LSVs lyv VIVS lyJUkJ IWUITUM tVUt too, and much of it will be as interesting, if not as ex citing as wholesale murder has been. True, no more box car banners about atomic-bomb attacks, paratrocp sorties, and thigh in the air, on land But. also, no more casulty lists, no more elderly W. U. messengers coming ful yellow envelope ! A auieter world and probably a very dillerent one eventually; but a far better one for most of us. And one no sane person would trade for the warring world that has departed. It WAS thrilling to those who had grandstand seats, but what a price those thrills demanded from those who directly or indirectly had to take an active part in it! R.W.R. That S. P. Promise For Peace The blessings of peace? One could fill this paper with them and then require One of them has just occurred to us, perhaps be cause a few moments ago we saw our one and only morning train with that "daylight" parlor car on the rear come clammenng in from Portland. IT won't be long now before Medford and Southern Oregon will have better service, including through passenger and Pullman service to Portland AND San Francisco. Oh, not tomorrow, or next day. But, it will be recalled by all, that during the con troversy over the abandonment of through train serv ice, the Southern Pacific OFFICIALLY declared the action was SOLELY and EXCLUSIVELY a war (,,:, ..,,, , ' u..i.. niGU.uiu Tn .lava fore!" As there was a time through trains daily, this certainly provides a pleasant prospect as far as rail transportation in the post-war era is concerned. WHAT'S that? You have your "doubts?" Tlnf triof was nn DFFTP.T AT, nrrimisp nnrl did von ever know of the "FRIENDLY Southern Pacific" breaking an official promise? Shame on you! R.W.R. A Seventh Son Well, we have to hand it to Mr. Roger Babson,' one of our weekly contributors. Less than a month ago he crawled way out on a limb and declared the war with Japan would be over within 30 days. The skipper of this department did not believe it at the time and so stated. But, the financial "wizard" and Cape Cod evange list was right. How he arrived at any such conclu sion was never made very clear. He could not have known of the atomic bomb certainly, and yet, but for that "miracle of destruction," the war would probably have continued for a year more at least. LJOWEVER. when anyone has the temerity to crawl out on a limb and categorically call his shots, and CALLS them RIGHT, well, We doff the editorial chaneau, execute a deep ob eisance, and admit that whether the shot was a lufcky or a psychic one, it places the "shooter" among the temporary list of the "Omniscent Great!" R.W.R. A Good The current movement to orchestra here will undoubtedly receive wide and gen erous support throughout Southern Oregon. There has been a decided need for such an opportunity for youngsters interested in music to receive organized training under competent direction. The program will also assure the public some good symphony con certs in the months to come a need that has not been filled here for some time. AX7HILE the job that Rogue River Valley schools are doing in their musical training classes has been a good one, it cannot go far enough. The junior symphony will supplement and complement this school instruction and, in doing so, enrich the cultural life of Southern Oregon. n'iDUSINESS and professional men of this community are assisting in the organization of a Southern Oreeon Junior Svmrhonv association, patterned alone smashing the enemy hip and at sea. up the walk with that fate a supplement. returned we dUOte: .,.

German prisoners of war have arrived and are ready to start picking Tuesday morning, ac cording to Assistant County Agent C. B. Cordy. The quota assigned to this area Is 500 and they will be worked in the or chards In groups of 10, each with a guard- Most of the 320 Mexicans al located for fruit work here ar rived late Saturday and early j Sunday by train, and are being checked and assigned to work places. Another small quota due today, will be assigned to pack ing plant jobs and picking. Crop Larger The Bartlett crop, estimated as larger than last season, is rated of good quality and has sized up well under the warm weather of the past two weeks. Orchardists were busy today getting pressure tests for sugar content at the county agent's office. The pears are now ready to pick. Packers report little if any of the Bartletts will be sold to California and Willamette valley canneries this season. The pack ers have agreed to furnish the Rogue River Packing corpora- lion witn Between 1.700 and 1.. 800 tons for canning. This is approximately the amount of tonnage sold to canneries last year. The cull near croD will be sold to the Baker Bros, cannery at Watsonville, Calif., and shipped mere for dehydration.
