Chief Asks Burning
01 Grass for Safety
Fire Chief Ed Canoose today
requested residents with grass
and weeds on their properties
that are potential fire hazards
to complete their burning this
month while conditions are still
favorable.
He said that good housekeep
ing out-of-doors as well as in
doors will prevent fires.
Persons with weeds, grass or
rubbish to burn must call the
fire department (2-2700) for fire
permits. Canoose brought out
that "running fires" to burn
weed and grass grown vacant
lots are prohibited. Weeds and
grass must be cut and piled in
a safe place for burning.
As part of the fire department
training program Captains
George Snrceve and Earl Har
rison are attending school this
week at Oak Grove near Oregon
City.

is not the most precious metal
any more. There are at least
eight metals worth more than
Iheir weight in gold.
These and thousands of other
"popular fallacies" have been
collected into a book with that
title. The author, 82-year-old
Alfred Ackermann, spent years
on the volume, assisted by J. W.
Jarvis, who is 87.
Fallacies Listed
Among other popular fallacies
listed by Ackermann are these:
Exercise does not rest the
mind because all fatigue is es
sentially the same and "no ath
lete was ever a genius."
Flowers in the bedroom do
not take all the exygen out of
the air.
A frosty winter is not as heal
thy as a mild one.
Nero did not fiddle while
Rome burned. The violin was not
invented until the 16th century.
The roast beef of old England
is not as ancient as all that. Brit
ons beat the armada on bacon
and each other in the civil wars
on stew.
I The bride docs not walk up
the aisle. She walks up the nave.
Cleopatra a Greek
Chop suey is never eaten by
the Chinese.
The bagpipes are not a Scot
hish invention. They probably
i were of Roman origin.
Cleopatra was Greek, not
! Egyptian.
I The original Cinderella did
! not wear a glass slipper. It was
i fur and the mistake was made
in translating from the French.
King John did not sign the
Magna Carta. He could not
read or write.
Ackermann cites sources for
all his oddities. He bases his con
tention that women are the hunt
ers on a report which showed
lhat more than 80 per cent of
middle-class men said they had
been seduced first by a woman.
German Rearming
I May Come But West
, So Far Undecided
j Frankfurt, Germany (U.R)
'The giant Krupp works and the
1 1. G. Farbcn combine, backbone
of the nazi war machine, have
had their war potential reduced
to almost zero, allied sources de
clare. If Germany were given the au
thority of the western powers to
rearm, as some militarists plan
ning the defense of West Europe
have recommended, she woXild
have to start from scratch.
The Krupp munitions empire,
centered in Essen, Is a mass of
rubble and steel skeletons, the
result of war-time bombings and
post-war dismantling.
T h o u s a n d s of unemployed
workers live in caves dug be
neath the crumpled factories, bit
ter and disillusioned. Many of
i them openly pine for the "good
i old days" under Hitler.
i Krupp in Prison
I Allied Krupp. heir to the em
pire, is a war criminal doing a
i 12 years' stretch in the Lands
berg war crimes prison.
I I. G. Farbcn. the chemicals,
synthetic oils and explosives
, manufacturing combine which
controlled 38 per cent of the
' world's chemical business before
the war. has been cut up pro
visionally into small independent
, units by the allied decartcliza
tion branch.
I. G. Farben. physically, fared
better than Krupps. Many of its
plants were still standing when
Germany collapsed. Krupp, if it
ever gets on Its feet again, will
have to rebuild from the rubble.
According to a Krupp spokes
man, only two Krupp plants are
back in operation. They are a
locomotive factory in Essen,

Law Bars Return
Krupp attorneys are fighting
for the eventual return of the em
pire of the Krupp family, but
the high commission law on re
organization of the steel indus
try appears to forestall that in
thes; words:
"... The allied high com
mission has decided ... it will
not permit the return to posi
tions of ownership and con
trol of those persons who have
been found to have furthered
the aggressive designs of the
National Socialist Party (the
nazis.)"
Krupp produced only ten per
cent of Germany's total steel
production, but it was a key
target of' the bombers and the
dismantlers because it specialized
in armaments. Earlier Krupps
armed the kaiser's army In the
first world war.
I. G Farben. the greatest eco
nomic concentration of all time,
was spread throughout Germany.
Sixty per cent of it was in the
western zones and 40 per cent
in the Russian zones at the end
of tiie war.
