Monday. August SO, MSI SIX MTDrOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Crosstown By Roland Co) In the Day's News Growing Pains Cities, like children, experience growing pains, though in the case of cities the pains are mostly confined to the region of the pocketbook. A STRIKING example of city growth and its close-ly linked financial discomfort was given in a re cent issue of the Grants Pass Courier when the sister city's daily published a story on its first page giving (Acmt TtUphott) CELEBRATE LIBERATION CTUiens of Seoul, Korea gathered beneath a hot sun awaiting celebration of the sixth anniversary est their liberation In 1941, when Allied forces entered Korea.

Take a look at all this Junk I found in your shaving kitl" By Joseph and Stewart Aliop final tabulations on the 1950 population as just released by the bureau of the census, and on the editorial page discussed a municipal improvement program to be voted on next Thursday involving three bond issues and a three-mill serial levy. The census windup shows Grants Pass had a population of 8,116 on April 1, 1950, the figure representing a gain of 2,088, or 34.64 per cent over the 1940 count when 6,028 persons were found. For Josephine county, in which Grants Pass is located, the final 1950 figures were 26,542, representing an increase of 10,241, or 62.8 per cent over the 1940 total of WHILE the 34.64 per cent increase in population must be encouraging to Grants Pass boosters, it brings added responsibilities and the need for expansion of facilities which will cost money, much money. For water system improvements the residents are asked to approve a $250,000 bond issue. These bonds will be paid entirely out of revenues from water users, as will also $70,000 worth of bonds proposed for expansion of the sewage treatment plant.

Under the head of fire protection and street maintenance a bond issue.of $50,000 is sought to finance purchase of a badly needed pumper engine, a larger street sweeper and operating equipment. A proposed serial levy of three mills to modernize the city's drainage system would increase taxes to the extent of $3 annually on each $1000 of assessed valuation. lf ANY other Oregon cities are experiencingysimilar 1 growth and its accompanying need for financial outlay to accommodate the additional population. The state as a whole now has 1,521,341 inhabitants as against 1,089,684 ten years ago. Such a noDulation increase one decade is grati fying but for the smaller municipalities, especially, forced to hurry expansion and improvement programs, it is not an unmixed blessing.

aOaaaraaa ,4 BY FRANK JENKINS From Kaesong: "Informality and even laughter replaced somber military formality at the Korean truce talks today When they finished their day's work, communist and United Nations delegates posed together While posing, S. General Hodes put his arm around North Korean General Lee Song Cho." And so on to the extent of about a thousand words for the teletype. OT hoppen? I wouldn't know, of course. When the commies found we meant business on the buffer zone, they got milder. But maybe it was only a co-Incidence.

BEFORE taking this laughing and smiling business at Kaesong too seriously, you'd better go back and read the fisst act of Hamlet especially those lines: "Oh villain, villain, smiling damned villain! "My tables meet It Is I set It down "That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain; "At least, I'm sure it may be so in Denmark." PERSONALLY, I'm pretty sure It may be so in Korea. Jumping from Shakespeare to our own rough-hewn native idiom, I wouldn't trust a communist (smiling or non-smiling) as far as I can throw a bull by the tail. A the World Assembly of Youth, which has been meeting back in New York state, breaks up, Edmund Caleb, delegate from British Guiana, say I "The world is our neighbor and we must CURE rather than destroy Peace is positive, translated in terms of proper dwellings, decent wages and respect for the individual." True enough, Caleb. But, in our oratorical flights, let's not forget that peace is also something that from time to time has to be FOUGHT FOR by sincere men who are willing to die, if they have to, for their convictions. Peace doesn't just happen.

It can't be obtained by passing a law. T'M INTRIGUED this morning by the- Egyptian army officer who won the London Daily Mail's cross-channel swimming race. As he staggered up out of the surf under the white cliffs of Dover, he caught his breath and declared: "I did it for my king and my country'." I wonder. I've seen a little corner of Egypt, with its dirt and its disease and its filth and its swarming flies and its grinding poverty. If the boy is really in earnest about doing something for his king and his country, I think he might have picked a better way than swimming the English channel.

If you're going to help run-of-the-mill Egyptians, I'd say you'll have to get CLOSER to them than that. JNCIDENTALLY: "The Egyptians said they had been training for weeks for the grind of the cross-channel race, eating a pound of raw onions daily to build up their strength." Take It or leave it. ROM Chicago: "Harry Williams, the huskv killer who beat a guard to death and escaped from a death cell in the Cook county jail, was captured on a street car without a struggle last night." 'THERE had been a lot of talk to the effect that he'd never be taken alive that he was armed and would sell his life dearly. You hear a lot about these criminals who won't be taken alive and now and then one bobs into the news. But not often.

It takes strong intellectual conviction, purpose and sincerity to DELIBERATELY die fighting. You don't find those qualities too frequently In hardened criminals. Siskiyou County Museum To Open Yreka, Aug. 20 The Siskiyou County museum will be officially dedicated at 4 p. m.

The Japanese peace treaty is already being denounced, and not only in the Kremlin, as a "white man's treaty." There is very grave doubt that independent Asiatic states like India, Burma and Indonesia can be persuaded to sign it. VMHAT is more, our Western allies, Britain and Franc in particular, are anything but enthusiastic about the treaty.

The British particularly would be far from pained if communist China were admitted to the United Nations, and the Formosa question settled in communist China's favor. An end to the Korean war on reasonable terms, in return for a commitment to discuss such matters and to postpone the Japanese peace treaty, might seem very tempting package deal to the British and others. This Is so particularly If the alternative seemed to be an extension of the Korean war, or some other Sino-Soviet counter-move which would be likely to lead tq World war. Yet Dulles, with the full backing of the state and defense departments, is deeply convinced that a defensible, sovereign Japan is absolutely essential if the Asiatic balance of power is to be restored. He is equally convinced that the treaty must be signed without 'delay.

Otherwise the Japanese will conclude that the Kremlin is really calling thsi tune in Asia, and a great rush for the Soviet bandwagon will begin in Japan. For these reasons, "we'll sign the treaty alone, if necessary," as one official has said. But there is no underestimating the dangers involved. Because of the fear of war, and because there is no real unity on Asiatic policy among the Western partners, thst Kremlin may well have the best chance since the war to use the Japanese peace treaty Issue to isolate the United States from its allies. The possibility of a sort of limited Sino-Sovlet-American war in Asia, in which our Western allies would try to remain precariously neutral, has even been seriously considered.

At any rate, it seems clear that a very great crisis may come to a head at San Francisco. As In the past, the best hope of dealing with it lies in standing firm.

It is mailed without obligation to students of thj higher laws of nature and mental science. Scribe III AMORC TEMPLE San Jose, California DANGER AT SAN FRANCISCO Washington 1 the scenes, responsible officials are a great deal more worried by the Soviet decision to attend the Japanese peace treaty conference at San Francisco than they are admitting publicly.

They expect Andrei Gromyko to arrive In San Francisco with the familiar olive branch in one hand and the familiar bludgeon in the other. And they fear that this time the Kremlin might actually succeed in using the "olive branch and the bludgeon to isolate the United States from its allies. One one point there is no doubt at all. The Kremlin will go to very great lengths to prevent Japanese rearmament, which Is implicit In the treaty ably negotiated by republican foreign policy adviser John Foster Dulles. Direct Soviet action is not, indeed, ruled out.

The Kremlin has the capability of landing a small army of communist-indoctrinated former Japanese prisoners, organ 1 Into at least two divisions, on the undefended northern Japanese island, Hokaido. While this "liberation" army was landing, the Japanese communists might be ordered by the Kremlin to go over to open revolt in southern Japan, now very lightly held by American troops. Yet this sort of operation would require Soviet air and naval support. And whatever false whiskers the Soviet forces might wear, this would almost certainly bring on an unlimited third World War. Therefore it Is considered much more probable that the Kremlin will adopt some such indirect course as the following: THE Korean cease fire talks will be kept just this side of breakdown.

Gijpmyko will arrive in San Francisco talking sweet reason, saying that the Korean war can still be settled on an acceptable basis, despite the extravagant demands, of the Americans. Moreover, the great problems of Asia, like the future of Formosa and the recognition of communist China, can also be settled If only the signing of the Japanese peace treaty is postponed. Having disposed of the olive branch, he will then show the bludgeon. The Japanese peace treaty "will not be tolerated" by Russia or China this the Kremlin has already said. The Soviets and their Chinese allies "will not sit idly by" while "Imperialist" Japan is rearmed by "imperialist" America.

The Sino-Soviet alliance provides for just such an eventuality. Finally, Gromyko will make It clear that a settlement of the Korean war is not to be expected on the heels of the signing of an "illegal and aggressive" Japanese peace treaty. In brief, the Kremlin's bludgeon will be the specter of a third World war. If Gromyko does adopt some such course and it will surprise the best-Informed officials if he agree with County Horticultural Agent C. B.

Cordy that our peaches are the best grown anywhere. 'HE way to gain most complete gustatory enjoyment from a peach is to eat it sans table imple ments or other niceties even be a bit messy what with juice running down the chin and a certain amount of sticky residue left on the fingers. However, for those who like embellishment, the fruit may be sliced over ice cream or plain cake, used in cobblers, betties, mousses or in parfaits, and, for those who want something out of the world in the peach iline we recommend peach gingerbread shortcake. It should be baked just before dinner so that it will still be pleasantly warm at dessert time, a cheerful contrast to the cold peaches and cream.

At the schools and colleges I attended the scholarship re quirements for athletes were very strict.

No matter how much of a star a fellow was if not up in his studies he couldn't play. Also in those days no matter what a man's athletic ability was he could not get into the major colleges unless able to pass a stiff entrance examination, I had a prep school pal who was one of the greatest football players who ever lived. Princeton was very anxious to have him. But he tried and tried and couldn't pass the Princeton entrance examinations so he never had a chance to represent that grand old college. Princeton originated the "honor system" of examinations.

It was also used at Wesleyan university. Middle-town, from which I graduated. During my four years there I never knew of a fellow to take advantage of that system. Asking Queries from clients. Q.

A couple of veterans, both claiming to have seen Ernie Pyle at the front, are discussing his height and weight. I say Ernie was about the size of a fairly large jockey. How about it? A. Ernie Pyle was five feet eight inches In height and weighed 110 pounds. Q.

In just what way is Danny Kaye alleged to have Insulted "Red" Skelton in England and why? Skelton was scheduled to succeed Kaye as the headliner at the Palladium the-ter, London. According to tradition, the coming headliner is supposed to be in a box at the final performance of the departing headliner. The departing headliner is expected to introduce his successor to the audience. Skelton was present in a box at Kaye's final performance, but Danny ignored him. I don't know why.

British vaudeville fans greatly resented the omission and deemed it an insult to Skelton. Horses It Women What is your wife paying for her hats nowadays? Don't answer me, Jt is none of my business. However, I saw a sign today on a high grade hat shop reading: "Sale! Closing out all hats $2.95 to $4.95." Ah. if a man could only get a hat at prices like that: I paid 20 bucks for the hat I am wearing now and it is nothing wonderful. In cidentally, I recently noted a news photograph of Mrs.

Alfred G. Vanderbilt at the Saratoga races. The caption stated Mrs. Vanderbilt had told the photographer she paid $4.85 for the hat she was wearing. Anyway, mister, don't be downhearted if your loving wife hints she needs a new hat.

Be big about it. Just say: "Honey (or Darling, or Baby or Sweetie Pie), don buy one of those $2.95 hats. Be good to yourself. Buy one of the $4.85 hats like Mrs. Vanderbilt wears." Almost Confidential Among the country's quaintly named telephone exchanges is the Nightingale exchange in Brooklyn.

Saving Money In the cloakrooms pf a puhlfr building In city England were printed signs reading "Men" and "Women." This inspired some indignation. Citizens asked why not have the signs By E.

V. Durl'ma Future Syndicate. Inc.) illlttllUII.HI.IIIMIIIItlllllllr read "Ladies" and "Gentlemen." The city official in charge was reariy with an explanation. He said the administration was trying to save money. That the signs referred to were paid for "by the letter." A woman present said if that was the case it would have been better to use the system in vogue in some places in Scotland.

That is to have the signs read "Lads" and "Lassies." Please Note What kind of a photograph could you take of a scene or person being shown on a television screen? I have just heard of a man named Johnny Cura of London, who has invented a camera that will take photographs of television scenes. To take a photograph of what is being shown on his TV set, Mr. Cura merely presses an operating button on his chair. It is said he sells many of the photographs thus made. Vegetarians Have vegetarians more endurance than meat eaters? A vegetarian claiming such is the case states that in the Boston Marathon of 1950, the winner was a vegetarian.

Incidentally, the winner was Ham Kee Yong, a Korean. He was the second Korean to win the event. In 1947 it was won by Yun Bok Suh of the University of Korea. Also Yun Bok Suh holds the record for the event. He ran the grueling 26-miles, 385 yard course in two hours, 25 minutes, 39 seconds.

Don't know whether or not Yun Bok Suh is a vegetarian. Get It Right As to the observation "a politician thinks of the next election; a statesman, of the next generation." A New Yorker claims Bernard Baruch said it. Mr. Baruch may have quoted it on some occasion, but it was first said by that brilliant Boston pastor, the Rev. James Freeman Clarke.

Income Reaches Record Figure in Nearly All States Washington, Aug. 20 (U.R) The commerce department reported today that Individual incomes in each of the 48 states in 1950 Increased markedly over 1949 and hit record levels in all but five states. The department's office of business economics estimated 1950 per capita income for the country at an all-time high of $1,436. a rise of 9 per cent over the 1949 figure of $1,320. Total income rose from in 1949 to $217,245,000,000 last year.

The District of Columbia, seat of the federal government, led the prosperity parade with an average income of, $1,986 for every man, woman and child in the-capital, followed by Delaware with $1,909. Farm Stlaei Tops Increase Other states in the top income brackets included: Nevada, New York, Connecticut. Illinois, and California, $1,751. The report disclosed, however, that the biggest percentage increases in individual income during 1950 occurred in the farm states, reflecting the general prosperity of farm families. Montana, although ranking 12th in the nation with per capita income of $1,605, had the biggest proportionate gain over 194923 per cent.

Nebraska and South Dakota were close behind Montana with increases of 18 per cent each, followed by North Dakota and North Carolina, up 16 per cent. Delaware. Florida and Mississippi incomes averaged 15 per cent over 1949 levels.
