The Meaning of Korea Recently the President discussed Korea in these words: "Korea has tremendous significance for the world. It means that free nations, acting through the United Nations, are fighting together against aggression. "We understand the importance of this best if we look back into history. If the democracies had stood up against the invasion of Manchuria in 1931, or the attack on Ethiopia in 1935, or the seizure of Austria in 1938, if they had stood together against aggression on those occasions as the United Nations has done, the whole history of our time would have been different. ■’The principles for which we are fighting in Korea are right and just. They re the foundations of collective security and of the future of free nations. Korea is not only a country undergoing the torment of aggres sion; it is also a symbol. It stands for right and justice in the world against oppression and slavery. The free world must always stand for these prin ciples—and we will stand with the free world.” MEET Harry and Alice at the BRIDGE TAVERN MEHAMA, OREGON BRUCES Richfield Service JUST WEST FRERES BUILDING SUPPLY — MILL CITY WE GIVE UNITED TRADING STAMPS Thomas (Tad) Dillon, seven-and-ahalfyear-old youngster of Los Angeles, hopes contributions to the March of Dimes flow as wide and deep as the water he's swimming through. Tad, an ex-respirator patient, was treated in five West Coast hospitals, at a cost of $4,477.32 to the Los Angeles County Chapter of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The National Foundation spent $20,000,000 in March of Dimes funds last year and wound up operating its patient care * program at a deficit. Help assure continued treatment for kids like Tad—by giving generously to the 1951 March of Dimes this month.

As Others See Us A h a matter of policy, the Soviet government does everything possible to create fear, distrust and hatred of America among its people. Those who would like an insight into Home of the techniques pursued would do well to read an article by ¡.ouis J. Herman, a specialist in Russian propaganda, called “America Through the Kremlin's Eyes.” Tn the field of sweeping generalities, Mr. Herman quotes this picture of America from a piece of the New Times, a Soviet weekly: “A handful of plutocrats wallow in wealth and enjoy unlimited power, while tens of millions of ordinary people suffer privation and oppression ... In their crusade against all progressive-minded Americans, the monopolists are out to turn the United States into a land of police bludgeons and torture chambers.” The American press—which, according to the official Soviet view, is almost TOO per cent pro-fascist and anti-democratic—naturally comes in for its full share of attention. The heaviest bombardment falls on publications of wide circulation, such as Time and Newsweek, and the New York Times and Herald Tribune. The following view of goings on at the National Press Club in Washington is offered: “Here, over a glass of whiskey, around the card or billiard tables, rumors and insinuations are born, domestic and world news is manufactured, vicious, lying stories are penned at the war-mongers* orders.” How many Russians believe it no one knows. But the fact is that very few of them have access to any other information. February 8, 1951 2—THE MILL CITY ENTERPRISE Among the doodads on my desk is an old piece of string wrapped around a wooden spool, and people who come to my office often quiz me about it. My rough, ready and routine answer is: I'm fond of that bit of string because, thanks to it, my business address is Sixth Avenue instead of Davy Jones's Locker. But let me crank the reel back 44 years and give it to you—as my Aunt Frieda would put it—"in sequins.” . . . The scene I remember most vivid ly on the East Side is the dock near the Fulton Fish Market where we used to go swimming on sum mer days when school was out and the tide was in. And the water front character who usually takes stage center in my memory is a little ragbag of a man we called Crazy Moe who spent most of his days Billy Rose spool-fishing over the edge of the pier. We often pointed out to this in- compleat angler tha he was wast- ing his time that no self-respecting flounder would be caught sauteed in the polluted waters of the East River—but Crazy Moe paid no at tention to us. His answer, when he bothered to answer at all, was that he didn't much care about catching anything—he just liked to fish. And as nearly as we could tell, he never even took ths trouble to bait his hook. • • • ONE DAT A BOY na the most promising juvenile delin quent on Avenue A, swiped a mack erel from a fish stand, dove off the dock when Moe wasn't looking and hooked the fish onto his line. And when the fetched one began to pull in his “catch," his hands shook so violently that the fish looked •live Before be coaJJ ffl It the btunr tne tf Ibt 4wj t-ebked tbi mo,berei out tf bis bathed its beed tff utlb t Cresy .Me« c*r>«J «1 w fee fite mettles —mJ •< uest'l bee ease bi t m/»J le Iteff e«J ••em« tbe fisb, be n>>» «>mZ«J It ibeet tbe goor ibetg both. A«»J s«J Thers was another day when this same Terry decided it was time I learned how to swim, and when I tried to ward him off with the wily dialectics of a seven-year-old he began calling me “sissy” and "yella belly." Finally, realizing there was no way to dodge the dunking. I stripped down to my shorts. Terry and another kid grabbed hold of me, gave me a cou ple of hammock swings and pitched me into the river. I landed ker- splash between a grapefruit rind and a floating bottle, and water be gan rushing into me from every I opening. • • Cappy Miller’s coon dogs—ex cept for one of them. Old Blue—are about the finest hounds in the county. Blue's too friendly and easy-going to care much about hunting. He doesn’t act the way we think a good dog should, so we fig ured he'd never amount to much. But a fellow comes around Sat urday looking for a good dog to photograph for some advertising. And the dog he picks is Blue! Says Blue’s happy, friendly face is just the one to attract people's atten tion. So Cappy gets more money for that picture than his other dogs will ever take in hunt prizes. From where I sit, that should teach us not to look down on hu man». when they act differently than we think they should. For in stance, maybe you think tea goes best with food. O.K.—but don't size up wrong the man who enjoys a bottle of beer at mealtime. Like Blue, I guess we’re all "dif ferent” in one way or another — but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our good points, too! Copyright. 1951.I'nited States Breuers Foundation Rebuild Bodies • AS I WAS GOING down for the second time I somehow got tangled up in a bit of string, and when my head broke water I saw Crazy Moe standing on the dock hauling in his second fish—me, and I was darned near as dead as the first one. The line, of course, wasn't strong enough to do more than keep me afloat, but it gave Terry a chance to dive in and pull me over to the ladder. After I had recovered breath and bravado, I asked Crazy Moe to let me have his fishing line for a keepsake, and when he demurred 1 bribed it away from him with what was an important piece of money in those days— a new Liberty Head nickel. Today, many decades and chins later, the piece of string occupies a prominent place among the me mentos on my desk—sort of a mute reminder of the time when my life hung by a hair. And my favorite mermaid who. of course, knows this story says it explains why I married her. “You wanted a swimmer in the family.” says Eleanor, "because the next time they throw you in. there may not bo a Crazy Moe hanging around.” I I | ' GLASS AND INSTALLATION On All Models and Makes EXPERT COLOR MATCHING Knowles Body & Fender Repair 14 Years Experience PHONE 88 MILL CITY
