In the Day's News BY FRANK JENKINS From Philadelphia, where the American Waterworks associa tion li holding its annual con vention: The war and politics were blamed today by the experts or the nation's widespread water shortages ... It seems that dur ing the war we couldn't get the materials for new waterworks projects . . . After the war BIG FEDERAL SPENDING PRO JECTS captured the public's imagination and purely practi cal things like new city water systems (that have to be paid for out of home-town taxes) went out of style. So, the talk among the ex perts at Philadelphia goes, we're short on things like new water systems for our cities and long on things that sound like they can maybe be paid for with funny money. THE Baltimore Si Ohio rail road has installed musical whistles on one of Its fancy trains and has put single-chime whistles on eight of its switch engines. It is trying to make the necessary noises of railroading less annoying, but instead of ap plauding a Baltimore reporter starts shedding salty tears over what fabled Casey Jones used to be able to do with a good old steam wristle on a good old steam engine. Well, Casey Jones has gone to his home in the skies and the steam engine is headed for the scrap heap. What most of us would like to see is some reason ably pleasing substitute for the raucous blats emitted by the modern diesel when it's coming into town. More power, I'd say, to the ,B & O. THIS one comes from a little town in Maryland: "George William Martin. 17, found a pistol in a drawer at Carol Miller's home last night. So he started showing his date how 'Russian roulette' is played . . . Carol wanted him to put down the gun and quit showing off . . . So she walked out of the room, thinking maybe George William would stop his foolish ness. "As she went out of the door, she heard a shot . . . Young Mar tin died on the way to a hospi tal, a bullet wound in his temple." WE keep hoping for a more sensible world. The only wiy to have a more sensible world is to have more sensible people. As long as show-offs go on ulavine Russian roulette, our chances don't look too good. Later: I've just re-read that para graph. I think I was probably off the beam when I wrote it. This seems nearer to the facts in the case: THE MORE SAPS PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE, THE FEWER SAPS WE'LL HAVE LEFT. Darwin called It "survival of the fittest." IN Washington Representative Mitchell (democrat, of the state of Washington) announces he will introduce immediately a bill containing President Tru man's proposals to aid small business men. Ouch! Now we little businessmen are In for it. So far, we've been fair ly well able to keep out of the clutches of the do-gooders. But If they start crowding loans onto us, good-night! My personal observation has been that more small business men have got into trouble be cause they were able to borrow more money than they could pay back than for any other reason. Bend High School Paper Wins Award Eugene, Ore., May 25 (U.R) Bend high school today was win ner of the Harvey W. Scott newspaper award for the all Oregon rating achieved by the Pine Murmurs, which is edited by Bill Niskanon Jr. The paper was judged as out standing among high schools with enrollments of 880-899. Dr. Laurence R. Campbell, execu tive secretary of the Oregon scholastic press newspaper im provement program, said. Lincoln high school's Cardinal won outstanding honors and the Charles S. Jackson award. The Portland high school paper won the metropolitan high school award. The Harris Ellsworth trophy went to Lowell high school in Lowell for its all-Oregon rating among duplicated high school newspapers. Beverly Briem is editor. Both Arkansas and Michigan claim the apple blossom as their official state flower. Auxiliaries of Legion and VFW To Sell Poppies Memorial poppies made by men in veterans hospitals and homes at Camp White, Roseburg and Portland will be sold on the streets of Medford on Friday and Saturday, May 26 and 27, by auxiliaries of both the American Legion and the Veterans of For eign Wars. The two days have been pro claimed "Poppy Days" by Mayor Diamond Flynn. Sale of the poppies is an an nual event and is of deep signifi cance to members of the two or ganizations since the flowers honor those killed or severely wounded in the service of their country. The dead are honored by helping the living. Procttda Aid Families Proceeds of the sale will be used to aid disabled veterans and their families and care for wid ows and orphans of veterans. Members of the organizations have pointed out that when war born causes break up a family, children suffer most. Residents of Medford on the poppy days will be asked to help provide for youngsters for immediate needs Silver Service Given 1 Center by DAY Posts Camp White, May 25 The Rev. Leonard Camp, Central Point, hospital chairman of Med ford post No. 8, Disabled Ameri can War Veterans, was at the center Tuesday to bring a gift of a silver service set to the hos pital from the Medford, Grants Pass and Ashland DAV posts. This gift will be used particular ly at birthday parties held each month for members. While here Mr. Camp visited throughout the facility. It was learned that his name will be placed in nomination for state commander of the DAV when the convention Is held in Eu gene June 13 to 16. The praying mantis, harmless to humans, is a friend of a gar dener and farmer. Fearless, it at tacks any living prey it can subdue.
