Father feels he just must be funny, particularly so in the presence of sisters-in-law and other wicked women, all eager to see Mother suffer.

When Mother tells what she weighs Father humorously tells her weight and of course the soul less women believs funny Father." a A subscriber wonders what has become of all the German police dogs, formerly so plenti ful hereabouts.

Enlightened Self-Interest This department has been such an enthusiastic sup porter of Winston Churchill as Premier, it seems strange to differ with him as leader of His Majesty's opposition. But we do and emphatically. It is this paper's conviction that if Mr. Churchill's advice is followed and, we quote : "Britain and America hide the secret ot the atomic bomb from Russia and all other powers." Only trouble can result, serious trouble. e a a DUSSIA is suspicious enough of the Anglo-Amer- ican powers as it is. With this infernal machine solely in our possession, what will Russia proceed to do? Set her best brains, and the Russian Communists failed to liquidate ALL of them ! on the job of se curing the secret of this miracle-bomb and manutac- turing same to the limit of her capacity. .

'You needn't look stnrtled,' she continued, laughing, 'the day has gone when women were supposed to move about on the periphery of their skirts like the doll pincush ions at fairs. The end of the cen tury woman not only has legs, but she is not afraid to allude to them.' " (SO yr. ago col. Pen dleton East Oregonlan.) Us MaU Trliiuna Want Ads. TPHE same theory Is being pur- sued to the more limited ex tent possible, in cancellation of contracts. First announcement at the moment of peace con. cerned only 56,000.000,000 of navy cutting, mainly in ord nance- I suspect Mr. Truman resolved all doubts in favor of high budgets for the army dur ing the latter days of the war for the same purpose to keep the economic mills churning. How long this tendency can be maintained in the face of con. trary pressures of troops to get free, and from setting the treasury in order (tax reduc tion?), remains to be seen. Cer tainly the government appears determined to go as slow as it can in dismantling the war bud get. So, also, with specific recon version policies. For many months, the popular and undis puted public thought has run to the conclusion that the end must bring an economic shock, with widesDrcad unemployment. Now the economists are beginning to inquire deeper into the matter, seeking to ascertain wnat parti. culnr types of workers and how many in which industries ate being affected. They nave found there is another balancing side of the picture which has not been explored or fully observed. "ORDNANCE workers, for in- stance, are sure to go at once, and production will not be resumed- But all the other non go vnment industries will be different to some extent. In the two largest industries, motors and steel, the highest possible peacetime production will be de veloned as swiftly as possible. In those lines much unemploy ment will be temporary. Shipbuilding production, for another instance, will drop near zero, but the Kaiser plants on the Pacific coast, two months ago, had employment of less than 40 per cent of their war peak. The majority of workers knew what was coming and went back home for better lobs Also Kaiser long since started to go into other fields, including motors, and his total peacetime employment may yet run as high as wartime peak. The large number of workers who got into industry for the first time during the war will find husbands or supporting re latives returning from the war, and may desire to return to their homes. good yearlings 12.00-12.50.

Nor do we arrorove of Mr. Churchill's remarks con cernine; Soviet Russia. And for the same reason. For here too, serious trouble may result. MOT that what Britain's former Prime Minister said Yvoa tintrnn Every statement he made recardintr Russia is. in our iudrment, historically correct. But, it is not always wise to tell the truth PUB LICLY. And this is especially true at this critical time when as distinguished a source as that of Britain's former great war leader is responsible. a a a a a "DICTATORIAL Communist forces behind an iron censorship" as Mr. Churchill declares "ARE seeking to rule by terror," and it is "not impossible that tratredy on a prodigious scale WILL result." JJut, the way to prevent it is not to openly defy and condemn Russia at this time. We don't say Russia should be "appeased," as so many of the so-called "liberals" in this country advo cate. Nor should the silly chant that Russia can do no wrong be continued. As has been pointed out before in this column, such a course will no more prevent trouble with Russia, than it prevented trouble with totalitarian Germany. In fact it will inevitably lead to trouble by convincing Stalin that he too, "has the world by the tail' and no large power will ever dare oppose him, no matter what he may do. RUT, with World War II just ending this is emphati cally NOT the time, to wave a red-flag before the Russian bull, but to follow the dictum of Theodore Roosevelt under somewhat similar circumstances when he said : "Speak softly. BUT carry a big stick!" For. as we see it, only by speaking softly, being friendly and conciliatory in our ATTITUDE, can we ever hope to allay Russia s fears regarding the inner motives of the two great English speaking nations thus giving Russia an opportunity to understand us and likewise giving us an opportunity to really under stand her. flTE would not, however, withhold the secret of that atomic bomb as our "big stick," we would keep the power we have on the sea and in the air, as the basis of it, and a friendly but a firm and frank atti tude as its foundation. Yes, we would endeavor in even possible and self respecting way to keep friends with Russia; for un less we, do, another war will threaten. But we would keep that friendship only as Stevenson kept his: "WITHOUT capitulation!" Or to express the same idea in another way, the Anglo-American nolicv in niir inrlo-mpnt should be to do everything humanly possible to avoid trouble "vEi!? im mii.t e.M'i'pi 10 aoantion Hie lunnamemai pnn- ferent types of workers and in- ciples upon which World War II was waged and Hustnes, and this points again to yojl t 5 w J I the theme I have been stressing ' ' I specific remedies art needed .

VIA RED CROSS Jackson County Chapter, American Red Cross, has receiv ed a telegram from the Ameri can Red Cross, National Head quarters, stating that, due to ces sation of hostilities, the next of kin may now send messages to Prisoners of War held by the Japanese. Through special arrangements made with the agencies of the United States government, and governments of the Allied na tions, plans have been complet ed for collection of messages from officially designated next of kin for delivery to United States and Allied nations Pris oners of War and Civilian Inter nees in the Far East upon their liberation. Next of Kin Only These messages will be ac cepted from next of kin only and will be delivered by the American Red Cross in the Pa cific Area North of Hongkong and by the British, Australian and Netherlands Red Cross in the area south of Hongkong, as soon as prisoners are liberated. Messages will not be accepted for men missing in action. They will be accepted for Prisoners of War who have no specific camp address. If delivery of the mes sages within six months proves impossible, consideration will be eiven to new messages. From 850 to 900 words will fit on the prescribed form which must be used. This form is in the Red Cross office only. One small photograph may be attach ed. The messages must be strictly nersonal.

They came in droves to war manufacturing lones from consumer scrvite Jobs, small stores, restaurants, hotels, shops, farms and such work for jobs which offered more wages than they had ever dreamed of. Certainly there exists a tre mendous demand for this type of worker, back in his former endeavors, back in the shops and on the farms. Will they want to go, Is the question which looms more important than the one being popularly asked, name ly: Will they be able to find ob$? Unless they do go back, and competitive labor standards are re-established in the country, it will be Impossible for the nation to regain its economic equili brium.
