not the end of the rope. The water

subsequently fished out, cold, wet

Who said snythlng about giving
a man enough rope and letting
him hang himself?
And then 'today along comes a

ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL
By KEN McLEOD
. In our list column giving Joa
quin Miller's account of crossing
the plains in lsM we stopped at
the point where the Miller family
reached the Willamette and were
most delighted with the climate of
the - graat valley.- Joaquin con
tinues: ' 1
,. "In this happy frame of mind
papa soon after cut a stick, and,
taking a small pack on his back,
set out up the vast and fertile val
ley to find a location a "claim."
He left us under the care of a
nobel old missionary, E. E. Far
xish, and also a Methodist preacher
by the name of West. It seemed
that every one -of the older immi
grants were either missionaries or
preachers. And they were all good,
Ood-fearing men, who did all they
could to encourage and' care for
the stranger.
.., "Wo three boys nine, eleven
and thirteen years of age soon
found work in clearing off brush
. and making rails for a neighbor
close at hand. Mother would go out
. to work with us, sitting on a stump
and knitting and talking cheerily
to tie when not herself at work. We
exned a cow this way, and mother
Vsught two ethers, . giving a note

Cows cost $100 each. Bo when papa

cows, three frisky little calves, and
lota of butter to sell. Two little Jew
peddlers,, brothers, who; had , In
some way got down from Russia by
the way of what now Is Alaska,
cam by' (vary week and got the
putter and gave In exchange gro
ceries and dry goods. The mer
chants in those days demanded
more than .double the purchase
price of everything; but aa they
paid 1,00 a - pound lor . butter,
which waa twloe what It really
waa worth,- the thing waa about
van. These Jew boya carried
everything on their backs at first.
' Then, they got . a horse, then a
' wagon; then they opened store
' away up at the fork of the river,
Where papa had found a 'claim',
they had a big store In the biggest
city; then a bank in San Fran
cisco. And open-hsnded papa won
dered to the end of his daya why
he, too, could not have been such
a 'merchant.' ' .'
"It was a muddy, miry road
away up to the Willamette Forks,
with neighbors forty miles distant
from one another in places, and
no bridges, and few ferries across
the swift deep river; but we-got
there at last, and the sparse neigh

acres to one half, so that the ranch
was not what it should have been
in area and real value; but no one
complained, and all went to work
and worked from sun to sun, happy
healthy, and gaining strength every
day. The land, unfortunately, was
not well chosen. We should have
located In the middle of the valley,
where every foot was fertile and til
lable,; but we had been used to
woods and did not like the open.
We wanted the wood for houses,
fences, and the fireplace. In . the
rear a great mountain, topped with
wonderful fir trees, gloried in the
morning sun; the swift, river glis

the cattle fed and fattened, and all
was wen. .

tainside to cut down trees, cut off
logs and roll them down for rails.
These rolling,' tumbling,' headlogs

sport for our little dog. But he
got caught under one and was
killed. Then Jimmy got caught un

and laughted at our terror and dis

and we made rails after that from
ash, maple, balm, alder, and so
on, to fence our first field worth
less .wood compared to the beauti

and venturesome to be left alone
to wrestle, with the tumbling rail

teach school miles away.

faring. As an example of this one
mother wrote that she and her hus
band suffered the heartbreak 'of
losing a bsby girl two daya after
Dirtn.
The cause of the child's death
Waa said to be heart disease, ana
the mother wanted to know whether
the father's drinking could have
had anything to do witn it.
To this can be aatd that while
there are other undesirable el
fecta from excessive drinking. It
Is not thought a cause of heart
disesse, and the mother can at
least be relieved on that acore.
Another question which comes
from Mrs. A. has to do with the
effect of 'clgaret smoke on a two-year-old
child. The lady evidently
doea net approve of her neighbor,
she aays the neighbor smokes one
or two packs of cigarets a day,
and her apartment Just reeks of
this foul clgaret amoke. Her child,
since the day aha waa born, has
been inhaling all this amoke. The
child (according to Mrs. A. 1 looks
pale and eats like a bird. The
mother, she says, spends W per
per cent of her time smoking and
watching television.
First, it seems to me that much
as she may disapprove, It Is not
Mrs. A.'s business. As to the health
hasardj. It can only be said that
la the light of preaent knowledge,
it ia questionable that the. ehUd

to be gaining so much weight that
she wants to know U she should be

soda pop and ice cream are fat
tening, To the last it can be said that
both are fattening, and scarcely
constitute a good diet for a three-year-old
child, except occasionally.
As to whether the child should be
put on a diet or not, that depends
on whether the girl la overweight
for her age and height. If she la,
the pedistrlcian can readily tell
the mother how aha should be fed.
Finally, Mrs. O. asks my opinion
about a six-month-old baby who
cries himself to sleep every night,
crying for a half hour at a time.
It is not considered desirable to
let a amall baby cry too long since
there Is some lnorease in danger
of rupture, and generally apeaklng,
a email child who cries too much
is uncomfortable in some way. on
the other hand, oven small babies
like attention and try to get away

get picked up by crying, they may
develop this habit.

ration. '
They have so many things to
entertain' them they often don't
know how to enjoy themselves. It
is so frlghtenlngly easy for them
to get lost today in a wilderness
or pleasures mat can harm them
as much as help them.
To grow up in any. period of
the earth's Past has always been n
stern and lonely task. Many peo
ple who manage to grow up physi
cally never do so emotionally.
And mentally they merely grad
ually merge from first childhood
Into second childhood. All , they
have learned - from living they
could write on a postcard.
A Child . should walk Urn umplri
in wonder, Maybe I am- getting to
us a miaaie-agea luaay-duddy, but
it seems to me that our comnleir
civuuauon roaay does as much to
blunt a child's natural sense
of wonder as it does to perpetuate
Many children' today learned
from television the proper way to
hold a gat before they learn the
alphabet. Isn't It too fast a stop to
go directly from "Mother Goose"
to "Dragnet"? Shouldn't there be
something in between?
Many a person at 40 can still
remember the tremendous thrill
of finding an orange in his stock
ing on Christmas Morning. A
whole orange for himself -And
what a terrible problem it
brought: Would the delicious ec
stasy of eating It balance the sad-'
ness of knowing it was all gone?
Naturally a child today could
hardly be expected to show awe
over the gift of an orange. Oranges
are commonplace. They are taken
for granted. But what would awe
many of today's pro-teenage so
phisticates, so used to miracles
they don't know what a miracle
Is? If Santa Claus left them a
slice of moon cheese, wouldn't
they take that for granted, too?
Children used to entertain them
selves. Many modern mothers
now complain to their husbands
at nightfall: "I'm all worn out
trying to think up things to keep
the children entertained." But why
should any healthy child ever have
to be entertained by Its parents,
except perhaps on rainy days or
periods of Illness?
Simple Joys are better for young
minds than complex pleasures
and for older minds, too, for that
matter. In the present Jukebox
age how many of our children
still know the delight of simple
things? How many lose the path
in a mechanical Jungle? Isn't it
more fun for a kid to throw a
rock at a tincan on a fence,: than
to mow down dear old grandma
with a toy atom ray gun? . . . I.
But the thing I pity the young
sters most for now is their
dwindling interest in reading. A
book Is the opening portal to the
vast hall, of the human spirit; li
braries are the shrines of the
mind. No canned music, no flick
ering pictures! on a movie or vMr,
screen can truly stir the 'pagina
tion of a child as well ts a bojlt.
Somerset Maugham, who turned
80 this week, once wrote:
"Intelligent people, alter the
age of 30, read nothing at all."
It Isn't quite that bad. But it
certainly Is true that most people
do most of their reading when
young, and gain .the ideas they
spend' 'the rest of their lives ex
ploring.-.
Many a high school boy can now
discuss the atmosphere on Mars
or the problems of tailoring a
space suit. But has he walked the
streets of old London with David
Copperfleld, or floated down the
Mississippi with Huckleberry
Finn? Probably not, unless his
teacher led him on a conducted
tour.
There is no doubt children to
day are smarter in many ways,
know more facts about more
things, than any previous kid crop,
but they are an old-young genera
tion. I think they mature too fast,
dull the edge of wonder too soon,
and miss the Joy of being young
in a simpler time. -
Aren't you glad you were bom
when you were?

DICK MOORE'S
Tulalasjt Druf Cr.
WASHINGTON W-Secretary of
Estate John Foster Dulles long ago
paid a high professional compli
ment to Vyacheslav M. Molotov,
the Russian foreign minister. .
Molotov, he said, was quite a
diplomat, one of the best.
And Molotov, whose name means
hammer, lsnt letting him down,
now that the' two men are meeting
to Berlin with two other foreign
ministers, Britain's Anthony Eden
and France's Oeorges oiaauu.
As soon aa the conference gong
sounded Monday Molotov began
throwing left Jabs. His footwork
Was pretty good. He was a faster
counterpuncher. And today, near
the end of the first rouna, lie
wasn't even sweating.
The Big Three had tried for six
months to pin Molotov down to
what the diplomats call an agenda:
1, 2. 3- list of things to talk
about when and If they got togeth
er. .
If he agreed, the Big Three
would have him pinned in a cor
ner: once the meeting began, he'd
have to stick strictly to the agenda.
The rules would be laid down.
Molotov wouldn't buy the agenda
idea. What he Said was: if we're
going into the ring, we'll make the
rules when we get there. Since the
Big Three wanted to see him, they
agreed: no agenda before , they
stsrted.
what Dulles, particularly, had
said he wanted to talk about was
unification of Germany and an
Austrian peace treaty. It was no
secret he didn't want the Russian
to succeed in softening up the
French any more pn the single
European army idea. The un ted
States Is relying oh that army in
the defense of Europe.
wnen they climbed into the ring
Monday the four ministers had an
understanding- 31dault, Eden, Mol
tov and Dulles would all talk the
fl day, in that order. :
dldault and Eden were polite.
But Molotov wasn't at all. He at
tacked the United States tor Its
defense plans, aaid West Germany
couldn't be trusted to rearm, as
the United States urges, and talked
about the need to cut down on
armaments.
Then ho laid down an agenda of
his own and asked the Big Three to
accept it. They should, he said,
discuss In this order:
"Measures tor reducing tensions
in international relations" and a
meeting of the four of them with
Red China in the spring; the Ger
man question; and a peace treaty
for Austria.
To get things going, the Western
Allies accepted. But Dulles called
off the speech he had ready for
that day. That night he rewrote
his speech. ,
The next day he peppered the
Russian. That didn't bother Molo
tov much. The Big Four began
considering the items on the agen
da, starting from the beginning.
Right off Molotov made a big
pitch to bring Red China into a
future conference, meanwhile mat
ing eyes at the French with a hint
maybe If they played ball with
Russia. Russia could manage to
end their war in Indochina.
Dulles blistered him again, and
tne Red Chinese In the bargain.
Finally Molotov was willing to stop
talking about China for a while
at least.
- It the Big Three sighed with re.
lief at that and thought "now
we can get down to cases and talk
about Germany, No. 3 , on the
agenda" they were caught flat-
footed. ,
Molotov punched again. He sug
gested a world conference on dis
armament. The Big Three went
back to their dressing room to
figure out the answer to that one.

For more than two decades the
St, Lawrence Seaway nroieci has
been a topic of bitter controversy
in and out of Congress. Through
this span the arguments shifted,
but they always added up to the
same result: No action. - '
Now the project has won Senate
approval but It still must buck
heavy snd perhaps fatal opposition
in the House. Some observers are
predicting It will- never get past
the House Rules Committee.
Unlike many perennial issues,
the seaway project was fought pro
and con along clearly discernible
lines. From the start, the salt-water
ports, the railroads, the utilities
and the coal Interests ' battled it.
They feared it would hurt them
and said so plainly.
On the other side, the fresh-water
lake ports Of the Great Lakes
and' the whole,- expansive : mid
western region argued honestly that
it meant greater, economic develop
ment for . them.
After World War H, they added
another .argument: the depletion
of American iron ore reserves com.
pelled 'resort to -outside .sources.
with newly discovered stocks- in
the Quebec-Labrador area among
the most convenient and desir
able. Lying fairly close to the St.
Lawrence system, these ores could
be brought more cheaply to estab
lished inland mills over a tuuy ae
veloped waterway. '
- Opponents scoffed at this . con
tention, labeling it just a smoke
screen for the old argument. And
they had sufficient strength to keep
the project bottled up in congress
year after year.
The economics of transportation
are not simple. The railroads
fought the Panama Canal, too, be.
cause they thought it would ruin
their transcontinental business. It
did not. No one can really be sure
what effect the St. Lawrence sea
way, opening the interior oi Ameri
ca tn lnrarer ncean-BOina" vessels,
would have on the railroads and
on ports like Baltimore, rnuaaei-
phla and New ors.
But evidently a good many sena
tors whose own areas are not dl
rectlv affected bv the seaway Issue
have become convinced that the na
tional interest Justifies .upsetting
traditional transportation patterns
in America.
Undoubtedly they may have been
influenced strongly, too, by the out-.
side pressure from Canada. The
Canadians, weary of waiting for
the United States to make up its
mind, announced in 1951 their m
tention to proceed alone with the
project. Canada's parliament au
thorized construction.
Canada under this plan would of
course have chief control of seaway
facilities. Inasmuch as these steps
appeared to be more than mere
bluff, American lawmakers began
to realize that ship traffic Impor
tant to America might before too
long be moving through , a water
way over which this country had no
governing voice.
Whether these same considera
tions might prevail in the more ex
plosive House is uncertain. But at
the very least, the project deserves
to come to the floor for a vote.
The St. Lawrence Seaway has
been held in the suspended state
too long. We owe it to ourselves
and our friends up north to de
cide one way or another.

Ling Yuan Is one of the 1,209
Chinese who fought under the Red

all came to Formosa,
This lad from faraway Szechwan

"Ling Yuan," he said. i'That's
my real name and I have no fear
of reprisals against my family for

"I am not callous," he went on.

His father had been ' a cloth

FRANK TRIPP
A sixty years conquest for peo
ples' time began when folks start
ed gadding. Americans had been a
race of stay-at-homes. The family
fireside was a brief nightly forum.
Ten o'clock was late to go to bed.
A touring melodrama, a church
supper or a lecture by a man who
had been' up Pike's Peak made a
lively week for the average house
hold. Evenings were spent with
stereoscope pictures of Niagara
Falls, the magic lantern, charades
and homework. Most evenings
found everybody under the kero
sene hanging lamp reading.
Successively the bicycle, automo
bile, movies, radio and television
.have changed the scene. Up to 1890
the newspaper was the only means
of mass communication; the horse
the only means of individual trans
portation. Came the bicycle and for the
first time in history the common
man could take himself places. He
went,, and the release of his pent
up wanderlust was what made the
Nineties gay. The nation went on a
cycling bender, '
I remember losing customers
who were too absorbed with cycl
ing to have time to read when I
was a newspaperboy. It is of rec
ord that in 1896 a single New York
news agency suffered a volume
loss of a million dollars; fabulous
in those days. Tailors, shoemakers,
theaters, cafes faced bankruptcy.
Cigar sales fell off 700 millions a.
year, a barber wrote to Harper's
Weekly, . , there is nothing to
my business any longer; the bi
cycle has ruined it."
The newspaper weathered the
bike 5pree, grew and prospered.
At the turn of the century the
horseless carriage and "flickers"
in Nickelodeons joined the con
quest; feebly at first, but soon to
outdo the bicycle as time consum
ers. The movies entered the adver
tising Held. The public rebelled;
forced ads of consequence off the
cinema screen. The motion picture
settled Into its niche; the" newspa
per greW, prospered. ,
Up to then diversions had only
competed for peoples' time. None
had supplied any service given by
the newspaper.
So comes radio. It kept people
home, where the newspaper goes.
It would never go into the news
business; it was just show busi
ness. Its advertising would meet
the fate that befell the movies.
Listeners Would throw it out.
The same thoughts pestered the
radio pioneers; until they did go
into the news field. And scared the
living daylights out of half of the
newspaper world, still the newspa
per grew, .prospered.
While the battle raged newspa
pers rose to their all-time-high In
circulation, advertising and qual
ity. Perfected radio settled Into its
nichel
Television is a composite of the
movie and the radio. It too will
settle into its useful niche, and with
newspaper and radio form a trium:
virate of public service known to
no peoples save Americans.
The newspaper has grown four
fold in the three score years of
conquest. It needs only tend to
Its own knitting; stay as local as
the town pump. .

If these tax reforms should fail
