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
