4 Friday, May 30, 1941, Vernonia Eagle, Vernonia, Oregon Comments thfe Week THE POCKETBOOK of KNOWLEDGE MEMORIAL DAY Memorial Day, 1941, dawns upon a world in a bloody struggle that will see millions of men still to be slaughtered before the passions of men and dictators are sated. No one now is competent to predict its eventual ending or the future course of civilization, except that it is certain that the dicta tors will be defeated. Perhaps death heals many things and even the dictators are not able to exercise power over or defeat the grim reaper, the companion of war. Memorial Day should be a day when we remember with love and regret the passing of some loved one. It should not be a day of remembrance of the horrible agonies suffered by humanity upon the battlefield of war. Although the excuse of this war has been that economics, sources of raw materials and the need of living space, actually its main causes were political. Hitler’s gang can only exist upon violence and bloodshed and constant expansion through out Europe. To stop at any time would mean his speedy defeat not only in enemy countries, but at home. Out of this war there must come a permanent plan for world-wide peace. There are enough present and potential industrial machines and re sources to give everyone in the world a high standard of living. At the conclusion of the last war, which we won or were largely responsible for winning, we withdrew from the scene and allowed peace terms to be made that may have been par tially responsible for the present conflict. We refused to bear any share in responsibility for the future conduct of European nations. We settled the course of the conflict, but did nothing to assure that war would never happen again. Today we prepare again as the result of the mistakes of yesterday. It is not only a day of memory for those whose husbands, sons and brothers died for peace on the battlefields of Europe, but a day that should be regarded by all with por- tentious solemnity. 2 FEET LQNG etKM W INPIA- -THS SHINS, WHEN PRIED, RAF USED 7t> MANE BASKETS AND MATS WIRE A yeARFOR HtO.OOO USES------- FROM PAPER CLIPS TO PIANO WIPE/ INDUSTRIAL RES FARCII WAS t>WEtOPet> A SWTWfT/C RuBBEA CoMWUNJ WHICH •WÍLW FIBERS TOSETHtB, Ì0UBUN4 THE LIFE OF FABRICS. 5HEU.5 ANP BOMBS A« PAWTEP BEFORE TUEyARE U4BP.,..

That, then, is the background of these happening. Only time can sketch in the complete foreground. As FOR what has been accompl ished under the Knudson-Biggers- A. G. Glancy of OPM had interes ting things to say in a recent speech. One company, he said, which used to turn out 500 fifty-caliber guns a year now is making 5,000 a month. Anothe, company is making machine guns EIGHT MONTHS before the date called for in its contract. He recalled, too, that it took 25 years to build the automo bile industry up to a 3H billion dollar annual volume, but that in 2 years the aviation industry has turn ed into a $5 billion business. Thus he says that industry is co operating, continually “offering it self for any use to which we may care to put them.” And as for the reward industry expects, he quotes a maker of anti-aircraft guns as say ing: “If possible, try to arrange it so that we get back the same umber dollars that we will have to put in to this program.” Yet the planners want to take over the show! Book Talk . . . By EDNA ENGEN Do n.t overlook our State traveling libraries when you are looking for something to read. These traveling libraries consist of from 50 to 100 books, both adult and child, and are sent out from the State Library and ex changed every six months.

This is the charming diary of an English countrywoman who goes to the big city. She laughingly insists on her naivete and gullibility but her witty observations usually leaves the sophi?ticated Londoner far ¡behind. “The Corpse in the Coppice”, R. A. J. Walling.
