Barham (known to all as Juniper Jack) has found use for his long beard which grew while he was away herding sheep. He now has a job. playing Santa Claus at Meier and Frank' store In Portland and will leave about Nov. 1." A poll by the Republican party shows John L. Bricker of Ohio, vice presidential candidate in 1944, the most popular pres idential possibility. He has three assets for the Job, a fine head of hair, charm and a smile that leaves no doubt he has teeth. Furthermore, he will not be' handicapped by the fearful possi bility of changing horses in the middle of the stream and making Britain mad. e e The first country sausage of the autumnal season has shown up.

Tuudar. Ocil IB. I94S Keep Crater Following the recent policy of the National Park Service to encourage a winter use program in the nation's national parks, the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce sought the assistance of Oregon and munities m an effort to apply this policy at once to Crater Lake National Park. Response was prompt and enthusiastic; the need mediate opening of a winter playground area at Crater Lake was generally recognized. Oregon's delegation at Washington was quick to lend influence and effort toward advancing such a program here. e e e e e "THE fly in the ointment, however, proved to be the lack of National Park Service funds. The nation's playgrounds are still operating on drastically reduced wartime budgets, it seems, and the chance of clearing Crater Lake Park roads this winter is slight if we must depend upon this source for paying the bill. - eve THERE is, however, another solution to the problem. Trio Wavir FloriQi-f monf riaa olrAarlv aslrpri thnr. Crater Lake's winter sports area be available for the use of Marines at the Klamath Falls barracks. Navy men who come to Camp White's hospital would also benefit by the winter opening of the park. So, if the Navy will reimburse the National Park Service for the cost of snow removal and operation of the winter area at Crater Lake, the Marines, the Navy hospital men and the general public'will be able to enjoy winter-time recreation there this year. Otherwise it will be closed as soon as the snow flies. e e e TPIERE is precedent for such a step. The Badger Pass recreation area at Yosemite National Park was kept open during the 1943-44 winter season for the use of men at a nearby naval convalescent hos pital. The Navy reimbursed the Park Service for this program. Why cannot it be done at Crater Lake? THE local chamber's park committee, after a survey of Crater Lake's situation, estimates that only $50,000 additional funds will be needed to do the job this winter clear snow from the roads and maet the cost of additional salaries and materials. It would be money well spent. It would help to speed the re covery of wounded and battle weary Marines and Navy men and would open the park to thousands of civilians of Oregon and northern California who have indicated a strong desire for such a winter use pro gram. THE chamber here is also urging a prompt return ir a riAtirni Kocsia -fni fSif.ai T .alva Mofi'nnal "Parlr The basic year's appropriation before the war was $100,000. Increased labor costs should call for a $25,000 increase, with a similar amount added to re place the equipment which was relinquished for war time use after Pearl Harbor. Thus, the next appro priation for Crater Lake should be $150,000, and the people of this community are making a strong appeal for this sum. With a big tourist season ahead, at least $80,000 of this sum should be returned in the form of income from the sale of automobile permits. DUT the immediate job is to keep the snow off the roads this year and hasten the winter use pro gram at Crater Lake park. There is every good rea son why the Navy and the Park Service should work out a deal. People of this state and northern Cali fornia, who enjoy winter-time recreation, hope they do it at once. H.G.

Doss, who distinguished himself in the rescue of many wounded men un der fire on the Pacific battle fronts, Is the first conscientious objector to be awarded the con gressional medal of honor. How ever, he is not the first conscien tious objector whose bravery has attracted attention from high places. In World War One, Pri vate Richard Sticrheim, of the 315th infantry, a conscientious objector, was commended for bravery In a letter written by President Wilson. In this, the president said in part: "On the night of Nov. 3, 1818. Private Sticrheim rescued six wounded men under machine gun fire. Thereafter, until the signing of the armistice he worked as a litter-bearer carrying wounded men under Intense shell fire, sho'ving tin: utmost Indifference to danger and courage and devo tion to duty of an unusual char actor." Asking Queries from clients. Q. Who would you say Is the best actor on the screen at present? And the best actress? A. Barry Fitz gerald is the best actor in Holly wood and Ingrid Bergman, the best actress. Q. Why didn't Schubert finish his unfinished symphony? A. Nobody knows the answer to that. Schubert wrote his symphony In B Minor, known as his unfinished sym phony, in 1822. Ho lived for" six years more but never finished the aforementioned symphony or gave any reason for not doing so.

"Lady Bountiful robbed by youths she helped" Is headline note. Fellow who wrote that headline qualifies as a young old timer. How about you? Do you remember the Lady Bounti ful comic strip? It was a contem porary of Alphonse and Gaston, Foxy Grandpa and the Hallroom Boys. Horses k Women How are you on the lanmfnce of flowers? Our horses and wom en experts claim the sending of flowers which have a meaning Is an extremely effective way of winning the regard of an object of affections. According to a re cently issued language of flow ers an orchid means: "You are a beautiful creature." A rose means: "You are truly lovely. I love you." Or try arbutus which means: "You have beautiful eyes." It Is also possible to tell a female off with the language of flowers. If the conceit of a young woman is found to be an noying, and It often is, you can send her narcissus which means: "Baby, you certainly love your self." Lettuce continues to be in cluded In the language of flow ers. It means: "You are cold and unresponsive." So, young fol low, if some haughty blonde or brunette puts the chill on you send her a head of lettuce. Passing by "Greasy" Neale. If you re member when "Greasy" played the outfield for the Cincinnati Reds you can call yourself a young old timer. That is. If you can also recall when he coached the Washington and Jefferson college football team that stop ped the University of California "wonder team" cold in the Rose Bowl game of 1922. Neale Is now coach of the Philadelphia pro football team. It is said this out fit Is the best football team in the country . . . Ted Lewis, dean of dance band maestros, once billed in vaudeville as "The high hatted tragedian of song." Ted and his charming matrimonial mate Just celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary. That is the pearl wedding. Make a note of that, sir, so when your own thir tieth anniversary comes around you will remember to give your wife a pearl necklace. Husbands It is my belief Chicago hus bands are the most appreciative matrimonial mates in this coun try. Hardly a day passes I -do not receive a letter from some Chicagoan telling how much he appreciates a wife. An excerpt from such a communication fol lows: "My wife is really beauti ful. She has gorgeous black hair hanging to her straight shoulders and is five feet, six and a half inches tall with a figure like a Hollywood glamour girl.. She is also the mother of three lovely daughters. What success I have had in life is largely due to her unfailing loyalty, sympathy, un derstanding and belief in me." Pigeons Chicago health authorities claim pigeons are carriers of virus pneumonia and parrot fe ver. There must be something to this or the aforementioned health authorities wouldn't have made it. Chicago is a bad place to get yourself too, far out on the limb. The residents of that city are great checkers up. Distinctly you have to show us" types. Anyway, the claim has me wor ried. I believe New York City has more and fatter pigeons than any major city in the world ex cept Venice, Italy. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Wajhington, Oct 18 Mr. Truman is having more trouble! with congress than is apparent, j An increasing """lliH--" T'S number of member! of both houses are stiffening their backs against the us ual political pressures, be iieving the na tion is in a ser ious crisis. The utmost effort of Sen- eaui Maimn a t e Floor Leader Bnrkley was necessary, for l.stnnce, to get the C I.O. P.A.C. man Raymond Mc Keough, confirmed for six years on the maritime commission. It was dragged out of the senate by a nargln of only eight votes, after i:onsidi rable inside dicker ing. To get it through, Barkley had to makP It a party matter, and even then nine Democrats refused to go along. e e e 'T'HE opposition frankly ques tioned the wisdom of putting a C I. O. official, but even more than that, a man who led the political action part of C. I.

Moie Democrats p r 1 v a t e ly held this conviction than voted it Thi'se were appeased by per sonal promisee McKeough would not use his position for C.I.O -P.A C. purposes, but his actions on the commission will find close congressional scrutiny from now on. I suspect more than a major ity of Democrats thought It a mistake to place an outside par ty man, able to wield such im mense political action power, in a six-year Job. e pONVERSFXX. the developing admlnlstrntlon foreign pol icy Is meeting almost unanimous senate approval After two and p half hours behind the doors with State Secretary Brynes: the, foreign relations committee members both Republicans and Dcmccrats. emerged in a favor able mood. Mr. Byrnes knows how to handle senators from long ex perience, and he handled them '.his time by leaving them con vinced he had told them all ther was to know about the London conference. What they heard did not contradict any thing the public already knows, but the details which Byrnes gave put convincing emphasis upon the public announcements of the results ThK enabled him to escape the hnle h was In on the LONGING FOR NYLONS?

This nom ination of the new ambassador to Argentina has been delayed through several secret sessions of the committee. Senators felt Byrncr had made a mistake in not consulting the committee in advarce. not notifying the other Latin-American nations, and that Braden had been too active !n earlier Argentinian affairs, Some were angry because the Pan-American conference set for October 20 had been post poned to November 20. I Judge that Latin affairs got out of Byrnes' hands while he was busy preparing for London and ct the peace conference. Even the Byrnes policy on the far east found favorable support when he told the senators he was behind Gen. MacArthur without reservation. e e THK tax bill went almost unanimously through the house when the administration came to terms with the varying viewiioints. It will be amended in the senate, but only In de tails, unless the Republicans break loose and demand a less modest cut. The other parts of the administration program are still facing opposition. Considered all in all, it is evident Mr. Truman has lost some ground in congress, but not to any decisive extent yet comparable to the condition into which Mr. Roosevelt work ed himself. His statement when he re turned from his week-end vai tion urging the country to go to work conveyed an inspiration which caught popular favor, al though many are waiting to see hnw he comes out with the strika question. For instance, the oil people got their 15 per cent and the opportunity to dicker for the other 15 per cent, ana in the settlements it is clear he can yet lose his whole case against inflation. Some murmuring was heard becaiue he went away for his long-planned trip in the middle of the strike crisis, but there is a tendency in congress to judge him by the results he gets.

Letter From Washington By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member ot Congress From Oregon Not long ago, I heard an Eng lishman use the phrase "the wake of the battle" to describe the period of confusion and mis ery that exists in any area or in any country after the shooting stops. Apparently most of the world Is now in what might be called "the wake of the battle." Not only are we having plenty of trouble at home, but the collapse of the Council of Foreign Minis ters in London indicates that the problem of winning the peace is not proceeding very smoothly. Members of Congress are aware of the complexities of the present home front problem. Congress, however, finds itself In a curious, in-between situa tion. The end of the emergency has not yet been declared. Hence, the war powers of the President are still in force. In other words, the domestic affairs of the coun try are still being operated on a war-time basis even though the war has ended. Meanwhile, there Is great public demand to have normal peace-time conditions re stored and war-time controls re moved. If Congress were to act immediately in response t this demand, its action logically would be the declaration of the end of the emergency, which would automatically end execu tive powers. We must realize. however, that to throw off all brakes right at this time might easily have disastrous results. It will be recalled that the serious inflation of the first World War period came after the war was over and was followed by a sharp depression. It is almost a cer tainty that inflation would take place rapidly right now if con trols were taken off. The problem inevitably, there fore, is President Truman's to deal with, at least for the next few months. He has all the pow er needed to do what is neces sary, but right at this time more than ever before, the President needs the cooperation of the peo ple for the good of the country, e e e THE CAPITAL CITY has done honor to several returning he roes, but no demonstration here tofore was equal to that in honor of Admiral Nimitz. It is estimat ed that nearly a million people lined the streets and gathered on the Washington Monument grounds to see the parade and hear the welcoming ceremonies. Admiral Nimitz is a white haired man with a kindly face. He is rather small in stature, but has a bearing of authority. Ad miral Nimitz is a typical Ameri can family man, who.has risen to the very top of his chosen profes sion, and will take his place in history as one of this nation's great naval heroes. J e I THE SPEED of Army demo bilization has, up to now, exceed ed original schedules. I under stand that revised estimates are being made. According to reli able information, men will be discharged from the army at the rate of one'niilliona mouth dur ing the first months of 1948. The reported objective is to have all army personnel discharged and home by June 1.
