There may be a hegira of outdoor enthusiasts to the tim ber to bag a cord of wood, in stead of a three point deer. The zing and bite of a double-bitted axe, makes as pleasant a noise as the zip and bark of a .30-30 rifle. The cool nights and gentle frosts are causing all the gay flowers to fade, save the "bloom ing idiots" armed with an aged auto. e e a The world and the nation were never so down In the mouth, blue and discouraged. There Is too much money, and merciful hor ror! people are spending it.

Frequently, the husband has to eat them. a e The movie strike In Hollywood has ended, after two weeks of fighting and rioting. It was good training for comedy, and here after, custard pies will be thrown with more accuracy. a JUVENILE ESPIONAGE (Kansas City Times) "Daughter is fortunate If she belongs to a large family, with plenty of little brothers and sisters to tell on her. They will keep her on the straight path. Mother pays no attention to what neighbors say about daughter s conduct, but she lis tens to what her other children say. There wore 10 children in our family and If our oldest sister sat a little too close to her beau, one of us was sure to be peeping." a a Butter is due to drop eight points, and nobody will have to go barefooted after November l, as shoe rationing Is expected to end on that date. With the pan cake season at Its height, the return of butter is a cause for national rejoicing. It is expected one of the mystery feats of the war- will be exposed, viz: How butter was scientifically cut thin ner than the wings of a butter fly, and as sheer as the sheen of $17 pair of stockings. If your campfire ts dead there is no need to bury It. If It shows one spark of life, kill it and leave it as an object lesson to th next fellow. Editorial Correspondence New York City, N.

(unpaid aov.j Tremendous strength and stability are the outstanding char acteristics of the "Enterprise" built like the Oakland bridge. The carrier was hit 15 times in its war travels of 275,000 MILES, but never batted an eye, We tried to find out Just where the enemy blows struck but this Information The "Enterprise" bristles with anti-aircraft guns as well as naval guns and after going over surprised to learn that it brought 76 Jap ships! (No wonder It is presidential citation!) It was a warm, sunny day, 25 years they say. After climbing all over the ship, up and down endless steel steps and in and out of metal cubby-holes surrounded all the time by struggling humanity, young, old and in between, we felt in need of first aid but We were lucky enough to find a taxi outside, however, and thus eliminate the trek through Foley Square. There are thousands of taxis occupied one is some assignment. Later: Since our last visit to the Sixth avenue Elevated has been taken down, scrapped without a trace. And as If that were not enough the street was rechristened today as tho "Avenue of the Nations." It is like that old story about name to Margo de Peystcr! And enough in one way for we venture to say there isn't a nation in the world, and wo don't except the Hottentot, that hasn't at least one representative on the odiferous thoroughfare from Canal street to the Harlem river. The christening was marked and headed by the N. Y. mounted nesn one would core to see. But the human flesh was not up to the "gay ninety" standard. Instead of looking proud and alert the mounted cops, as a whole, looked tired and bored. But as far as that goes so much so that It aroused comment along the line of march. We heard one motherly-looking woman after watering the parade a ...umiuuio, luHiun io ner oiaer "girl inend : I'Now, ain't it a shame to make them boys ; auer an they've been through!" If she had said that into a loud-sneaker we hava an Irlr-a tho "boys In blue" would have halted To a spectator the band music the bands played "Anchors Aweigh," which they did frequently. (That would make a far more rousing national anthem incidently than the "Star Spangled Banner.") But even that failed to arouse the srjirlU nf thn veterans from the South Seas. The Hinpes, oui no emnusiasm lor that long trek in the noon-day sun Moreover, they made little effort to koap step, or to keep in formation, they were Just a bunch of tired boys, straggling down Sixth avenue, because they had been ordered to and eager to get It oyer with.

However, assisted by Mayor La Guardla and the ubiquitous Grovor Whalcn Sixth avenue was duly christened and is now the "Avenue of the Nations!" (Sounds imposing like Mexico City), a a a a a General Marshall's official report of the war Just ended should be "must reading" for those who wish to know what reallp hap pened in the recent holocaust. General Marshall Is undoubtedly a great war leader and a remarkable citizen In every way, the country was Indeed fortunate to have had him at the head of tne army operations and now of army reorganization. But the General's plea for universal military training failed to convince us of its necessity and the failure to make any report on the atomic bomb and its Implications was and is disturbing. It is possible, of course, this department has exaggerated the importance of this development of atomic energy as a destructive force, and its effect upon the future. But the burden of proof, as we see it, rests upon those who would dispute It for all the evi dence we have been able to gather entirely sustains our position, which In brief is that the atomic bomb defintely ends one period of human development and starts another. m m Another wonderful day, if anything, one might complain of the heat, but after a month of rain and cold, one shouldn't. R.W.R. News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, D. C, Oct. 25 Mixed Interpretations followed 1ho French elei'tioti in which De Gaulle won a victory for so c i a 1 1 s m and democratic re n r g a n I z a tion while the c o m m unisls won a plural ity of the as- e e fur- e d i tu. tiaii.in noout as con fused as If the communists were to win a plurality in our congresr against our Democrat and Republican combined majority, turned so cialist (if you can imagine this). No prognosticutor could be sure of what would happen then. We would be forced to await developments. a a a nESERVED pleasure neverthc less Is noticeable here among those who know tho French sit uation Intimately. The popular Republican movement (HI as sembly seats) is largely repre sentative of church sentiment in Franco and will never embrace communism, in fact, the none In addressing Italian women the day of the trench election, rath er urged them to the democratic form of socialism and spoke clearly against the totalitarian it Iyi.

It's absorption of a group called "union of re publican democratic socialists" shows about what it Is. These two parties, If combin ed, easily can run the govern ment, with their joint total of 283 seats against the commun ists' 152. In fact, if you count in the minor portlcs below these big three, who are likely to work with De Gaulle, a possible demo cratic socialist majority of about two to one can be found. This prospect no doubt ex plains the excessive silence of the communists after their "vic tory. Their French party op erates about like ours, on wires from Moscow. Authorities h .ve not discovered thot Moscow threw any gold into the election campaign.

Their assem bly plurality was gained exclu sively from factory districts. But the farm districts being church and the white collar classes largely democratic socialists, a clear majority of French inter ests seem assuredly fortified to meet the future communist cam paign to capture France. a a a THE communists, unquestion- ably, feel they are Just begin ning. They have increased their power from 47 seats they held before the war by three times now. They are in a position to harass and impede a coalition socialist government vith their usuc? pressure politics, strikes and such action, in anticipation of the day when they will take over the democratic processes, abolish the assembly and oper ate strictly totalitarian in accord with Moscow doctrine. Against that hope is erected the election co-result crushing the old radical socialist party of corrupt politicians with whom they played ball on the inside. That party ruled the old France. It connived rather open ly with Moscow on international affairs, made separate friendship treaties, and internally met the terms of the communist-dominated labor leaders in all economic essentials, letting them run the country down (sit-down strikes, 30-hour weeks and similar steps destroying production to the point where the French nation was no match for the Germans.) a a THE communists thus only have enhanced their nuisance power in France it that. Ac tually they have now come out in the open. Their own secret internal destruction technique cannot work so well when they must assume public responsibil ity for their actions. They have lost their cover- front, and somehow commun ism never has stood as well on Its own feet anywhere. When required to come into the open, destructive technique cannot be defended. My deduction naturally im plies France is going socialist. There are only two popular courses for European bankrupts. One is democratic socialism to handle the receivership; the other a dictatorship by their fascist socialism or communist socialism. In dictatorship liberty dies; in democratic socialism, hope at least is not extinguished. Of course socialism does not have the inspiring, creative self- generating capitalism in its .makeup, but if it handles its receivership well, it may aspire to return to profit incentive sys tems of free democratic capital ism. A Churchill syllogism In par liament expressed more suc cinctly the idea you may have read frequently in this spot in the past: The trouble with socialism is it does not equally distribute its poverty."

Extension Service Cattle Slaughter Hits Record High Despite a record rate of cattle slaughter the nat'ons livesiocK markets still held active and strong during the week ending Octobei 20. Fat cattle prices were helped by relatively light marketing of hogs, and sneep Current demands for feeder cattle were stimulated owing to the large amount of soft corn from the 1945 crop. From January through Sep tember cattle slaughter under federal inspection was 5 percent above average. An all-time rec ord for the month was set In September it 4 percent over a vear bfore On the other hand, hog slaughter under federal In spection was almost a record low at 55 percent of SeDtember 1944 ard 55 percent of the aver age in September. The large volume of cattle moving to market reflects total numbers In the United States on January 1 In relation to the pop ulation 14 percent above the 1935-1A39 average. That is un usually high and only slightly smaller than a yer before. The increase In beef animals is greater, as the number of milk ows In relnt'on to the popula tion was only 4 percent larger than Diewar. Prices for beef cattle on farms In Oregon at mid-September were at a 'wel 197 percent of the 1935-1939 average against 159 percent a year before. The United State? average was at 127 percent of parity, a decrease of six points from mid-August but still 17 points sbove Septem ber 1944. Farm nrices for all farm products combined stood at 113 percent of parity at mid September with farm wage rates omitted from the parity formula. Latest DDT News Gives Many Answers Now that DDT is on the mar ket 'o:' civilian use there are a ".ot of Inquiries coming as to how It should be used for this and that purpose. There are al most as many answers from various private and public re search agencies as there are in ouirlei and they do not always Bgre This Is to be expected since DDT is such a new and powerful insecticide, and has been so widely advertised ihrougn st'iries about it that vervone wants to try It. The tro'le is ihat research work has been carried or, so briefly in compauson with most nowerful Inseci'cides that results that have been obtained are not yet fully compiled. The Oregon- exoerlment sta tion has been doing much di vers ind iT-jre-scale work with DDT nd will have valuable find'ns to annoui.ee before so very long. The U, S. depart ment of agriculture is takinr the position that he public had best olay entirely safe with this insecticide until more research results are available. That would mean to treat DDT as one would any other poisonous In secticide On the other hand, ther? 's evidence that additiona' finding w'll develop many i:ses for thLs insecticide that will be a bion to farms homes and fiordors Thus, the best advice r.ow seems to be play safe until detailed recommendations for Oregon conditioni come from vour own state experiment sta tion.

On the other hand, one of tno large manufacturers has announced that it is ready to market the new "serosol bombs" contairmg ODT, which is strict ly a space spray used effectively by the armed forces. The USDA releases also advises against using DDT In oils applied to animals, food, food containers, or to place? where unprotected foods may be stored.. The OSC experiment station has been making some tests on this kind of oil spray and will tl announcing some recommen dations soon. Thus the advice again ems to be play safe with DDT. but watch for more an rouncement from the research centers. R. G.
