One wonders if the practice, which might become a permanent custom, is a very sound one and where it might all end. Just suppose the local dairy decided it woukl not deliver milk for two weeks, what howls there would be from the very people who would gladly shut Up shop for a couple of weeks! How would it be if the public services electric light, telephone, garbage and such like decided to take a couple of rweeks off? Suppose the people in the Post Office should knoek off and no mail was serviced for a couple of weeks! What if the doctors and dentists all went on vacation at the same time. Let us sup-K)se that the newspapers closed down for a coyile of weeks. What a chance that would be for the bureau? rats- to pull a fast one!

REAL PIONEERS A CENTURY since the days of the "covered-wagon." IT'S One hundred years ago- this month ' "''August, 1848 the territory of Oregon was organized. That far back, what is now the State of Washington was also included in the region. It was during the early forties, across two thousand miles-of wilderness that thousands of families blazed the way and followed the trail toward the sea.

At any rate, a petite Nisei propagandist who buttered heT wartime bread by buttering up American combat men with seductive apneals to stop fighting and go back to normalcy is likely to have more news value than, let us say,, little Marcniis Kido, on trial with Tojo and Company, who whispered bristling words into Emperor Hirohito's .frightened ears and helped precipitate a war. It is one of today's ironies that the trial of a colorful minor traitor or the well-publicized "con-""fessions" of a small-time ex-spy can snatch public attention awav from- far graver issues. The Tokyo War crimes trials, for instance, have fallen on deaf ears, vetthey provide an education in the way aggressive war is planned and the way plain issues are confused afterward. Perhaps Tokyo Rose's words did take effect after all and Americans hustled back to- would-be - 'normalcy without troubling to examine the serious causrs as distinct from the sensational trimmings of international rivalry and war.
