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.

Corporal Desmond T. 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,

Foxy Grandpa and the Hallroom

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

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.

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

Even the Byrnes policy on the

when he told the senators he
was behind Gen. MacArthur
without reservation.

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,
