“THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS.”
George Putnam.
The Town s Meanest Man
The meanest perron In town sprung into full bloom this week. Little
Elton Gregory, a grade school youngster who is ill with rheumatic fever,
had bought himself half a dozen hens and a few dut ks with the money he
had earned delivering paper* before his illness.
Now Elton had his chickens and ducks in a small pen of his own and
curing for them was one of his only joys. Apparently someone hated to see
this youngster have any happiness and stealing his chickens seemed to be
the best way to take it away. In consequence the theft. Elton's parents
had chickens In a nearby building hut they were untouched. This “noble
character” broke into the boy’s pen and stole all the chickens and one of
his ducks.
It seems a shame to waste space denouncing such a character. A better
idea Is apparent, however. Why not let your heart be your guide and mail
a few dimes, or dollars to Elton Gregory in cure of the Mill City postmaster.
The boy Is not able to work now because of his sickness. Let’s give him
a hand.
Experience Is Deadly
It may surprise you to learn that experience can be dangerous—even
deadly. Statistic* show that »7 percent of last year’s traffic accidents
were caused by drivers with at least one year’s experience.
■ .earning how to drive is relatively easy. The mechanics of driving
iwcoine second nature soon after a student “solos”. At this critical point,
attitudes begin to take over. The super caution of the beginner is diluted
by an ever-increasing confidence bused on experience. And,, with too many
drivers, caution is ultimately replaced by indifference, carelessness.
The skill of experience can sometimes get you out of trouble on the
highway. But the chances are your over-confidence, your indifference) got
you into the trouble in the first place.
The moral is clear and urgent. Those of us who are experienced drivers
must also be HUMBLE drivers.

Skits and Scratches of
Detroit Civics Club
Last year the Detroit Women’s club
made their first year book.
On June 13th the Mobile Chest
X-ray aws in Idanha, and took 410
chest x-rays. The soliciting and help
of the unit was done by club mem­
bers.
The organization sponsored the
Brownies again this year, and sent
one girl to Girl's State.
In July our committee took an ac­
tive part in the dedication of our new
highway.
In collection with the
dedication the club sponsored "Ama­
teur Night” for the purpose of select­
ing a queen, made formal* for the
queen and each of her four princesses,
took care of the tables and served
the lunch immediately following the
dedication, and were in charge of the
reception prior to the dedication.
In September we held a cooked food
sale at which we made $55 65. An
offer of prizes to our members for
Canyon-aid was the outgrowth of
an idea presented in the civic club.
The response was so gratifying that
such an organization was formed and
incorporated in the state of Oregon.
This spring a benefit tea for the
Detroit Library was given by the
civic club at which time a numbet
of books were donated, and several
dollars added. The civic club now
has $375 in their Library building
fund.
There are approximately 900 books
In the library.
Expenses such as
librarians wages, library supplies, and
fuel are paid for by the Civic club.
On June 3 the year will be con­
cluded by a carnival dance at the
school auditorium.

tory of endeavors to cheat Nature,

Editor’s letter Box:
Nazis' 'Process of Selectivity'
Outsmarted by Polish Scientist
Dear Sir:
Who is this Dave Hoover whose
fanatical ravings in paid ads, have
appeared in your paper and others ?
I am no particular champion of
Senator Wayne Morse and have never
voted for him, but I would be inclined
to do so merely as a counter-action to
this Hoover person’s mud-slinging.
That good old "red herring” always
comes in handy, particularly these
days, when anyone who opposes the
status quo can be called all sorts of
names with impunity.
Mr. Hoover would do well to utilize
his advertising space with specific
information on his position on vital
issues instead of smearing his opposi­
tion.
It would be most interesting to see
a list of names of persons who are
sponsoring Mr. Hoover in his very
expensive advertising campaign.
Sincerely, RUTH F. STOVALL ’

Whenever I’m in the mood for gargantuan gab, I hie myself over
to a Russian tea room near Carnegie hall where refugees of a dozen
nations sit around and give out with tall talk about the old days be­
hind them and the new days coming up.
To give you a fitting for-instance, the other midnight I heard a maca­
bre yarn from a gent who used to teach science in Warsaw, and while I
don't know whether it’s history or hokum, it strikes me as being worth my
allotment of white space today ....

In December of 1944, my tea­
room friend—the scientist from
Warsaw—was cattle-carred to this
concentration camp and assigned
to a barrack occupied almost ex­
clusively by captured Russian sol­
diers. He was asked the usual ques­
tions, and when the Russians found
the newcomer was a Pole, they
quickly let him know that the fra­
ternity of races as preached by
Moscow was confined to Kremlin
publicity handouts.
And when he further admitted he
had never joined the Party—not
for any big ideological reason, but
simply because he was a scientist
and had no interest in politics—
the Red army men decided he was
an enemy of the state and began
t® plot against him.
For a long moment, the scien­
tist looked up at the slat ceiling
of the bunk aboie him. "Thank
you," he finally said to bit friend.
"I think I'll be able to manage."
Next morning when 1 his name
was called, he saw the “trustee”
palm the white-circled disk and
substitute another. But he pre-
tended not to notice, and I when the
comandant held out his hat he
smiled and selected a disk. “White
or black," he said, “I’m going to
have one good meal in this mis­
erable camp.” And before the of­
ficer could stop him, he popped the
bit of leather into his mouth and
swallowed.
The SS man frowned. “Crazy
Pole,” he said, "what good will
that do? There is still a disk left
in the hat. If it is black, you picked
the white; if it is white, you picked
the black."

Mud Lake
Gets "Cleared Up"
County officers got a notice from
the government not long ago. ask­
ing them to change the name of
Mud Lake. Seems it's a ponil, n it a
lake, by government standards.
Because it lies entirely inside
our town limits, we asked to de the
name-changing ourselves. Figured
we’d think up a brand-new name.
Mud Lake’s really not very muddy
—sort of pretty, in fact.
County people said go ahead, so
we held a Town Meeting. Everyone
suggested something. Windy Tay­
lor thought “Taylor Pond” would
be nice, because his place borders
( m . i'.r
—for about 30 feet! But we fin­
ally decided to call it “Turtle
Por.d” in honor of the real owners.
Front where I sit, naming that
pond wasn't the most important
thing in the world -but the icay we
did it tens. Everyone offered his
opi n and then the majority vote
decided it. That’s the way it should
be—whether it concerns naming a
pond, or having the right to enjoy
a friendly glass of beer or ale—if
and w hen w e choose.
