OmjoNj$Fmii P U B 1 1 S H E R5 44siot)l A T 1 0 B Ye Smudge Pot By Arthur Perry Japan is now going through the throes of surrender, and wants "decent treatment," some thing she never gave herself. e Cong. Ellsworth spoke here Friday and said the nation Is being "propagandized" by re ports and rumors concerning "a wave of unemployment!" This has happened to the nation, num erous times since 1933, aided and abetted by a well-greased "emer gency," of which there has been none, for quite some time. Many politicians are predicting panic, they hope. e e e Several new gas silos are go ing up, hither and' yon. The con struction in all Instances, so far, will not require the hacking down of a mighty oak. a The Walker boys, J. Tanne- hill and Robert, welcomed home j their Paw, who is in navy, me past week. e e The end of lend-lease shocked Britain, and knocked an oration out - of former premier W. Churchill. Putting a stop to it, will cure England of going com munistic and crazy, as planned, on Uncle Sam's gold and beans, e e Abe Kumling, the Applegnte handy-man and prospector, has run a bee tree to earth, and will have something for his pancakes, come winter. Abraham now welldS' a cigarette lighter that works. The device Is viewed with horror by David Crockett Court ney, the efficient hired man of Ed Kubli. e The Skyrman boys (Bill and Harry) while prowling around the tall timber, successfully yell ed a mad mother bear, coming headlong at Bill. Before the law yer of the group could file an objection, or a writ, Mrs. Bruin retired to her cubs. e e Local Democrats attended Democratic picnics at Roseburg and G. Pass the past few days, for renewal of the faith, and . popping of the vest buttons, with last spring's predicted food short age, and many hungry in Europe staring them in the face, e e e "I see by the Portland papers, citizens of that city, are using the mails to throw mud at mem bers of my family," said J, Coch ran Robin, in reply to several letters to the editor. "We are called pests. Mrs. Robin Is mad about this Insult too. She will swing into action., and write a letter herself to the Blrdrgonlan. not to mention a few telegrams to Sen. Guy Woodpecker. The way I see It, man is able to qual ify as a pest himself, and should not call the blackbird black." e The face of the corner occu pied by Al (Curly) Leighton, Is being lifted, and when finished will be a credit to San Francisco and the Chamber of Commerce. a Farmers are still busy getting In the crops, they were not going to get Inst spring before It rain ed in May. a e a Van Johnson, the heart pit a pat of the fair sex, appeared at a magic lantern show last week. Many of the Older Girls scolded their daughters for being so en raptured by an ordinary male, when in their high school days, they were Just as overcome by Rudolph Valentino, who sported sharp-pointed cldeburns, and wore peon pants. e a e It turned off chilly over the week-end, causing folks to turn their thoughts to blankets, and wood piles, with or without a colored gentleman in them. By way of contrast it was 101 Wed nesday resulting In a rapid change from P-h--wl to B r-i-rl The Meek Inherit the Earth? We have given space to two modern prophets re cently. Here is a third : "The past two days have been days that will be remem bered for all timel The atomic bomb has suddenly changed our entire lives and will influence the future of all man kind. It has suddenly made it obvious to EVERYONE that another war is an impossibility if mankind and the world is to continue to exist. It Is no longer possible for us to dis cuss the merits of world collaboration it has suddenly become a necessity with no alternative except death and the extinction of the human race. "Man has never before been faced with such a decision. He must now, immediately decide whether he is going to learn to live with all races of mankind In peace and tran quility and humility or at a moment's notice destroy all that mankind has developed and learned during countless cen turies. Now, the entire matter is out of our hands. We have one simple decision to moke, and there is only one decision that can be mode. All previous differences that nations and men have had have suddenly become meaningless and of no importance. Now we have to solve our problems. "If we have finally been shocked Into the terrible necessity of cooperation, then this terrible weapon is indeed a boon to progress in the world. Truly the scientific man has now outstripped the social man. Now the social sci ences, the science of living with our fellow man, must be developed at tremendous speed and with awe-Inspiring thor oughness. We are grossly unprepared for the task ahead of us, and we can only hope that the people of the world realize what must bo done and begin at once to do it. "Not a second must be lost. Every teacher, every professor, every social worker now has a job that surpasses in Importance that of any other man on earth. Truly the meek have inherited tho earth! Now we will see if they are capable of preserving It. "The war will be over in a matter of days. To say any thing else at a time such as this would be stupid and un necessary. The first prophecy was by a well known financier. the second was by a scientist, this third one comes from a young man at the front and was written a week before Japan surrendered. His name is Cyril Sander, he is an Army Sergeant stationed on a small island in the Philippines. The letter was written to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Sander, Rt. 2, Box 259, Medford, and we are glad to give it space, for by all odds it is to date the best thing on this vitally important subject we have seen. R.W.R. Right Is Might? Some people believe there is a God. Others don't. Still others bluntly state they don't know. The latter undoubtedly find a certain satisfaction in Voltaire's famous dictum: "If there were no God, It Him." DEGARDLESS of one's theological views, however, we believe the war just closed has done more to strengthen a belief in the determining force of a fund amental moral law than anything that has happened in modern times. And this benefit has by no means been restricted to the victorious nations. In fact it probably will be even more wide-spread and profound among the de feated. For after all most human beings, whatever the color of their skin, have a conscience a fair sense of what is rinfht and what isn't. And however they may fall for the sophistry of to the emotional impact of war propaganda; sooner or later that candle throws its little beam and if their country has taken the wrong road they finally sense it within, even though they may never openly ac knowledge it. But whether this is tine be a certain soul searching modern nation to somehow possible such an overwhelming defeat as Oermany and .Tanan have suffered. "Why, why?" will be the inevitable ciy, "we had the war won, we reached our goal in an incredibly short time, and then! the tide turned mysteriously and thereafter nothing but one defeat after another until finally came the end! WHY? e a e e e A ND then the pay-off that atomic bomb. Some of the best scientists and researchers in the world are Germans. Japan is not as many miles be hind as most people suppose it was a Japanese who discovered the vitamin. It is known now that both countries had been working frantically to perfect the bomb that the United States alone finally produced. Can you imagine what would have happened to the world if either enemy had succeeded? The pic ture is almost too hideous to contemplate literally the people of this country and the rest of the world would have been helpless nbioet slaves, over night! But neither Axis country did! WHY? Because the Anglo-Americans are a super-race superior to and smarter than any other? Hardly and anyway that race superiority stuff is Fascist ideology. Jt luck? Mebbe so. And then again mebbe not. e e e e e AT any rate this department believes that not only the most general explanation, but in many ways the most plausible one, is to deny another of Vol taire's cynical dictums that "God is always on the side of the heaviest battalions," and maintain, either He or some tremendously powerful moral force is invar iably behind those who are ritrht and against those who are wrong! The Second World War certainly furnished strong evidence -R.W.U.

Everyone, particularly those over forty, can do much to fore stall heart disease, asserts a big life insurance company with the usual arbi trary and irre sponsible a i r of a corpora tion educating the public, by following these rules: 1. Exercise ( '& regularly but 2. Keep your Dr. Brady weight down. If overweight, bring it down. 3. Get plenty of sleep eight hours a night for most people. 4. Eat moderately. Be moder ate in use of tobacco or stimu lants. 5. Have" a yearly examination by your doctor. Follow his ad vise. If I were writing the rules in my obscure capacity as a one- horse-and-buggy country doctor I'd omit Rule 4 after all, it hardly restrains any one who overeats or uses tobacco or stimulants" immoderately. In stead of that diffident and mean ingless suggestion I'd write: 4. Visit your dentist every six months. If any1 teeth are dam aged or missing let the dentist replace them immediately. Be moderate in use of tobac co or stimulants." The corpora tion didn't want to impede the sale of tobacco and alcohol to young America. "Stimulants." Prize weasel work of the Victorian era. Even Webster muffs it or maybe justj tries to soften it a little by de fining it as "alcoholic beverage." Of course everybody knows it means hard liquor and nothing 10 President Orders Federal Control To Cease Final Date Aug. 31 Washington, Aug. 25 (U.R) President Truman tonight au thorized the rapid relinquish ment of government control over privately-owned plants and facilities seized and operated by the United States during the wnr emergency Tha president's order provid ed thiil "as soon as practicable" the hundreds of plants and facil ities of some 24 companies now operated by the army, navy and other government agencies be returned to their owners. Economic Stabilization Direc tor William II Davis said in a statement accompanying Mr. Truman's executive order that the end of government operation would ge gradual and no attempt would be made to return all the prop"' ties on the same day. "It was our unanimous agree ment," Davis said In speaking for the administration 'that government operation should cease as soon as possible." Mr. Truman's executive order authorized the Individual offic ers bv whom the seized facili ties are being held for the gov ernment to arrange for the re turn .-if privntc operation. Five oil companies have had to turn over control of some of Mi x mm. r-y;-it.taBai Thanks! CALIFORNIA-PACIFIC UTILITIES COMPANY else. Certainly it does not mean beer, ale or wine. The word is a lie anyway. Al cohol never stimulates, no mat ter what concentration, dilution or form of it is used and no mat ter what the occasion for its use. This is the whole truth, the un disputable scientific truth about the action or effect of alcohol. Back in the eighties it seemed all right for Dr who actually wore the beribboned pince-nez, frock coat, Vandyke beard and gold-headed cane and drove or rather had a red-headed driv er to drive his team of white horses it was part of the pic ture for him to prescribe some "stimulants" for most of his ad miring patients. But this insur ance company is just ridiculous or makes its helpless policy holders ridiculous, squandering good money like that. QUESTIONS It ANSWERS Sulfur and the Nails Do vou advise Inflection of sulfur In to the veins for correction of splitting nails.
