Our Boarding House f5 With Major Hoor Isolationism Cause Of War, Says Smith PENDLETON, Aug. 31 UP) A third World war can be prevent ed only by avoiding isolationism, Edgar W, Smith, Portland,- said here last night in opening his campaign for election to the U. S. senate on the democratic ticket. He predicted a farm products glut in the northwest and the na tion when European countries re turn to production. For Oregon he;urged greater industrial de velopment and added use of pow er,! irrigation and navigational possibilities as aids to increased employment and commerce. He said he represented the conservative and constructive element of the democratic party, and termed the opposition of the CIQ political action committee an inverted compliment.

Br MARY JANE JENKINS SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, Aug. 20 (By Mail) This is one of the minor great moments. My trunk (foot locker, in these parts) finally caught up with me, and I've just finished un packing it. Outside a bit of bilge water and millions of bumps and abrasions, it looks pretty good. Among other things, it con tained the typewriter on which this is written, which warms my heart. I know now I could have gotten along without the rest of the junk, as I've been getting along fine with only a suitcase, but it is rather nice to have a uniform jacket that fits the one I was wearing never did get fitted in the hurry of departure and would have held at least three ARC girls. : Whoever said the Red Cross clubmobile girls work wasn't just whistling. My hands look something like a lady welder's and I am so used to running around in a shirt that is clean about five minutes at the start and then wilts and catches everything from doughnut grease to the large greasy hand prints of the boys who come up and clap you on the neck with one hand and spill coffee on you with the other that I don't even notice, it any more. Day Off At .this moment, I am having a day off and am sitting in the front yard in a pair of shorts, having a terrific time concen trating because the boys are roaring by overhead and I love to watch them. I've just come out of the hospital, where they slapped me when I showed signs of a cold with- an accom panying temperature. Every time I turned around they X rayed me, took out quarts of blood, etc. all just routine, for army records. Let me assure you that these boys really get taken care of. Anyone who gets out without ' having- been - X rayed from head to foot and practically stabbed to death with needles is shirking his duty. I really had a wonderful time of it, because I felt marvelous after I got over my cold and spent my time visiting all the wards, playing bridge with some fliers who were sharks and decided to teach me, going to the movies and sun-bathing. Then, when I got home, the ARC gave me a week's layoff, which I understand is mandatory when you've been off the beam physically, and I've sat around having breakfast in bed, bicyc ling over the country and gen erally being a lady of leisure. My room mate and I forgot to renew our food ration cards, so we have been reduced to eating lunch and dinner at whatever army mess we can find in the vicinity, I can now answer one Question that no doubt is burn ing in the minds of those on the homo front, namely: What has happened to all the fruit cocKiau ana canned carrots? They're all In the ETO, and don't think we don't know it! Army food is good, however. although unaesthetic. The mess boys simply knock themselves out being good to us, which means wo get fivo times what we can cat, all piled on one plate. Salad with gravy in it has become one of the things i m londest of. (Note to the llnotyper: If you can't understand this copy, it's because my typewriter is Dal anced on a stone table made out of an old mill wheel and it keeps falling into the holes.) Kleenex Rationed Speaking again of rations, you may be interested to know that Kleenex here Is rationed to one small box every eight weeks, candy bars three times a week and seven packs of cigar ettes a week. Soap, one small bar every other week. So. if you're short at home, don't think these things are running out of the GI s ears. If any gal joined up just so she could buy Kleenex, she s fooled. The hospital was fun. They have no women's ward at this particular one, so I had a little Coming.' AL DONAHUE NEXT WED. DANCE , SAT.

At 7, we went to the movies and the ward boys could come around and bnwl us out. Swift Healing The amaxlng thing to mo was tho swiftness with which the human body heals. They camo In on stretchers looking as If they would never walk again, and In a few days they would come out, with a blindage on, probably, but up and walking nround and raising lu'U to nmuso thomsolvcs. The stories they toll are fas cinating.

Who ever said they don't want to talk Is craay. They nil wont to tell you about every miniilo, and they do. They nil agree that nnzis are tough customers, but only ono typo, tho Hitler youths, seems to mako them mud they refer to them us "Oh, these goddam Jokers," and then spit. Probably the funniest .stories thoy toll uro about huw they fixed up tholr foxholes In the rest areas. Somo of them sounded quito palatini, with lace curtains, etc. Amajing House This house where I'm living is u most amazing one. l'oor Mrs. Harrison (my landlady), There is always a crowd of peo ple sleeping uruiiud somewhere.
