EASTERN OREGON EATING
(Grant County News)
"The table was set at noon
with a roasted 12 pound tur
key and all the trimmings
and accessories, including
cakes and pies cut In only
four pieces. The table stayed
set until 4 p. m. Every passer
by who even stopped to pass
the time of day had to come
In and eat no matter whether
they had already had their
dinner or not. The Reccos
only have 250 turka running
with the cattle."
Irwin, Harris, director athletic
news bureau at Oregon State,
with patriot zeal defends the
honor of their football field,
from mud thrown at it herein,
on November 23 last, as follows:
"Oregon State has had a fine
turf football field since the fnll
of 1937. In fact, It is rated as
one of the best turf fields In
the Pacific coast conference.
The grass seed was planted In
the spring of 1937 and the field
was dedicated on October 16,
1937. against UCLA. We start
ed our turf field before the
University of Oregon Installed
one at Eugene.
You can imagine how dumb
founded I was to read your sug
gestion that we put in turf
TV, nnlv vlan..tlnn 1 I
can think of for the Capital
Journal's remark that you quot
ed is that Fred Zimmerman,
their sports editor, probably
hasn't been to a game in Cor
vallls since we put in the turf
and doesn't know yet we have
one.
True, our turf does get torn
up when a game is played on it
after a week or more of con
tinuous rnln, but so does every
other turf field in the Pacific
northwest. If the teams play
most of the afternoon on one
part of the field after a heavy
rain, naturally that part of the
turf will get plowed up a little
and I would like to see the turf
field that wouldn't. However,
our turf Is so well and deeply
rooted that It quickly comes
back even after taking a beat
ing such as It did In our Wash
ington State game this fall."

Editorial Correspondence
Boston, Mass., Dec. 15: Ten days to Christmas and It Is the
strangest pre-Christmas period we can recall in more ways than
one. Take the merchants' problem here in Boston for example
and no doubt the same all over the country. The problem is not
to get customers but to get goods. And the cutsomer problem is
not so much what one can afford as what one can GET. Not a
perfect situation but far better than a certain Christmas some
15 years ago, when the stores were full of nice things and no
one or practically no one had any money.
e e a e
Speaking of money it Is a subject about which we, technic
ally speaking, know nothing. But that is something to admit
it. So many don't. And of course no banker would (ah there
G. T.I) for that is presumably his BUSINESS. We talked with
one here the other day who pontificated to this effect:
The business future in New England looks dark, but else
where and particularly In the far west (that, we suppose means
west of Buffalo, N. Y.!) looks bright very bright. This period
of brightness promises to continue with only minor set-backs for
five or six years, when a period
be expected, both east and west,
In other words If you have
vest It and If you haven't well
weather eye open In 1950.
Mebbe so, mebbe so.
But If Boston has a boom
bust, this department will not be surprised. In fact nothing will
surprise us as far as business predictions are concerned since the
sad days of 1929. We still have on file a prediction by a certain
investment banker of that period that the stock-boom then In
full stride was only a beginning and while there might be "minor
readjustments," U. S. Steel would undoubtedly reach JUO in six
monthsl
So what? Merely this: In the Judgment of this column
'money." Its nature and particularly Its future Is like Mark Twain's
weather a great deal of talk about It but little done or known.
And in general those who talk the most about It, know the least.
(Oh, Is that you G.T. didn't recognize you!)
....
It Is snowing again, coming
usually means it won't snow
big-snow-and-blow a week or so
happens here in New England
huge snow-drifts into oblivion,
a freeze with skating on the avenue and now more snow.
Well if one longs for a good
the place to come for It.
We realize we are In a hopeless minority but we don't approve
of the citizens of a defeated nation whoever they may be being
tried by courts and Juries consisting entirely of their former
enemies, Nor do we believe in writing new laws and then mak
ing them apply to violations which occurred before their enact
ment generally known as "ex-post-facto."
But there is this to be said for such a procedure from the
standpoint of Germany and Japan, the liquidation of the criminal
and degenerate elements from the body politic should materially
raise the moral standards and general physical tone of the next
generation, in both countries. In other words the nations should
benefit, however unjust the methods to Individuals.
0 o
There have been many deaths here resulting from the recent
storms on land almost entirely due to bad hearts women or
men trying to shovel snow, when in no condition to do so, or
over exerting themselves In other ways.
At sea it has been different and far more serious with over
a dozen ships In distress off the Massachusetts coast as this is
being written. The great aid in such disasters now is the heli
copter, which in almost any wcofher can hover over a ship at
sea long enough for some sort of hawser transfer.
We haven't the official statistics but many seamen have been
lost, many saved, and at least half a dozen small fishing-ships
have gone down. Winter is no tlmo to travel by sea.
e e e a
Dorothy Thompson, in her dolly column in the Boston Globe,
claims the Poles are treating the defeated Germans Just as budly
as the Germans treated tho defeated Poles. Well Dorothy never
pulled her punches verbally, and has made many mistakes in
Judgment but as far as her factual record goes it is pretty good.
So we' have an Idea she Is correct.
But what would one expect? That the Poles would return good
for evil? That is the' procedure Christ prescribed but can anyone
mention a nation that AS A NATION, has followed it? Don't
rush now, there may be one but if so we can't recall it. It is an
eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth. That Isn't Christian but its
universal practice.
Dorothy also calls Secretary Byrnes a liar when he states:
"It should bo assumed the geographical limits of Ger
many are those in conformity with provisions of the Berlin
declaration, le: those of the Altrelch less the territory east
of the Oder-Nelsse lines."
The territorial limits, says Dorothy, were definitely left open
In the Berlin or Potsdam agreement, but Poland, following the
Stalin doctrine, grabbed her's while the grabbing was good, and
presented the USA and the allies with the "accomplished fact."
And again we don't doubt Dorothy is factually correct, nut
the ugly word Is hardly Justified. Diplomnts don't "lie" nothing
as crude as that they merely make statements which are not
always supported, In a literal sense, by the facts.

Another Argument
"My mother became a grand
mother three times In the same
day. Can Brooklyn top that?
I had twin sons; my sister had
one son." So states Mrs. Hubert
Mitchell of Detroit. I called this
to the attention of a Brooklyn-
ite who said, "The lady's mother
only became a grandmother
twice In the same day. Twins
are figured as one blessed
event." I said, "Listen, twins
are not born at exactly the same
time. When the first twin came
Mrs. Mitchell's mama became a
grandmother once. When the
second twin came she became
a grandmother twice. When her
other daughter had a son she be
came a grandmother three
times." But the Brooklynite
was stubborn about it. He Is
from Flatbush. You know how
those fellows are. Anyway, we
have the argument before the
decision committee of the Stosie
"Wagering committee.
Passing By
J. Fred Coots. Popular writer
of popular songs. The J. In his
name stands for Jared I think.
His best selling song is "Santa
Claus is Coming to Town." Fred
goes for Turkish baths and hand
ball to keep In condition. Is a
very young looking fellow for
his years. He remembers when
Iron Man" McGinnity and "Bad
Bill" Dahlen played for the
Dodgers. That was about the
time the songs "Two Little Girls
In Blue" and "Who Threw the
Overalls In Mrs. Murphy's
cnowder ' were popular.
Horses S: Women
Baltimore subscriber born un
der sign of Scorpio confesses "I
have been morried three times.
My first two husbands, both ag
gressive, wanted to dominate
me. I didn't care for that. My
third husband is a sweet, gentle,
lovable man who lets me run
everything including the fiand
ling of the family finances. Am
very happy now that I am boss
of the family." (Note Accord
ing to the star gazers it is the
Aries (March 21-April 20) and
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) women
who have the greatest desire to
dominate their husbands. The
astrologers say Scorpio females
have no use for a man they can
dominate. They want a husband
who is man enough to do the
dominating. Either the star
gazers are wrong about Scorpio
women or the writer of the
above letter has made a mistake
about her birthday.
Sidelights
A Detroiter says he works at
a drugstore where the pharma
cist receive $100 a week for a
45-hour week. Very interesting.
That is $25 more than most
pharmacists get now. Before the
war a lot of them were receiving
as low as $35 a week. ... A
Bostonian urges this department
to launch a bitter campaign
against "singing vcommerclals"
on the radio, which he describes
as "a cancer on the brain of mu
sic."
Please Note
A dance band leader of 15
years experience states his ob
