ONLY A CAPTAIN?
It doesn’t take much inquiry around
the Pentagon to find out that a crit­
ical need in the armed forces today
is for more company commanders, bat­
tery commanders, tank company com­
manders— captains al).
Yet those
who wear the paired bars still lament
at length over the time it takes to
earn major’s leaves. They don’t ap­
preciate how important they are to
the Army, to the whole defense effort!
In military stature they rank on a
par in responsibility with the presi­
dent of a sizeable corporate subsidi­
ary. They have a dollar responsibil­
ity that in many cases exceeds that
borne by the head of a large com­
mercial organization.
Counting up
the total cost of chemical, engineer,
ordnance, quartermaster, signal and
other equipment issued to an infan­
try company, its director is account­
able for more than $165,000 woith
of weapons and gear. The capital
investment of the American people
in a field artillery battery of six 155
mni howitzers and 144 officers and
enlisted men is practically $367,000.
The commander of a heavy tank com­
pany has an even greater inventory
under his care. The 20 "Gen. Patton”
tanks and armament he directs cost
more than $5,000,000.
Considering further the responsibil­
ity of these young “military mag­
nates” for the safety of some 143
other defenders like themselves — in
whose upbringing additional tens of
thousands of dollars and unmeasur­
able love has been bestowed, it is
easy to see what a heavy investment
the taxpayers have in commanders
who wear “railroad tracks” on their
shoulders.
Those bars need strong
shoulders to support them.
Owners
may always hold their heads high.—

Once upon a time the jaunt to Mill City and points
beyond was a bruising experience. No longer is this true.
A very fine stretch of highway, linking Mill City and a
point a mile or so past Mehama, is now open. This
project is another concrete move towards an excellent
scenic route to a beautiful recreation area.
The new North Santiam canyon highway is succeed­
ing where the canyon’s railroad failed. The railroad
now reaches only to the construction work on Big Cliff
dam. Highway 222 gently stretches past Big Cliff and
Detroit dams and on to Bend, California and points east.
Motor transport can and is doing what the captive loco­
motive did not do.
Gone and largely forgot are the
federal land grants of section after section of this canyon
to railroad interests, and their abuse of this gift.
History will record the use made of federal assist­
ance on highway 222. We earnestly hope the fate of this
road will not be that of the railroad which it succeeds.
Logging trains once snaked out of the North Santiam
canyon laden with huge logs in the railroad’s heh-day.
Today log trucks wind and twist in and out and finally
reach a log dump or saw mill. The new and straightened
highway can be an avenue down which the canyon's raw
resources can leave as of old. This same highway can
bring new industry, people and hope. These then can
knit into a unit promoting growth and prosperity here­ OF SEGREGLTION PER SE
