For years and years RR has been
awarding oleanders to various and
sundry residents who have been
worthy of honor and public reco9-
milton. 1t was an honest effort to
award those who deserved 1t.
Then along came Arthur Hof-
mann Fricay and remarked that
RR shouldn't award oleanderS be-
cause oleanderS are poisonous! RR
rushed to a dictionary. Hofmann
was entirely too right. Every part
of the oleander is dangerously
poisonous
So you see what we get for not
being a botanist.
Now, laCieS and gentlemen. we
must all get toge;Her and decide on
some kind of a flower to award the
worthy. Something local, of course
Our best known natives are cacti
and palo verde. Some may object
to cacti because OF the thornS but
roses have thornS, too, and surely
no one objects to roses. Maybe the
hay fever addicts will object to
palo verdi. Would a desert ver-
bena co?
Help RR get out of this delimma.
There is no telling when someone
will do something worthy and at the
moment, RR would be afraid to
award anything!

such reports-but they persist. And
should they turn out to be true, our
country will be asleep at the switch
unless Congress wakes up right
now.
Consequence of Peace
Let's look for a moment at the pos
sible consequences of sudden peace
for which we have as yet made no
adequate provision.
Overnight, at least ten million war
workers would be thrown out of their
jobs. Contracts would be cancelled al
most automatically. Factories would
be shut down. If the war against ia
pan should end soon after, the army
of unemployed might swell to fifty
million within few weeks. Return
ing soldiers, looking for a job, would
find breadlines on the street.
In fact, if Germany and Japan
wished to strike their most effective
blow of the war against America, they
could do nothing more catastrophe
than to give up at once and together.
Isn't that sorry state of affairs
to contemplate? Isn't it a serious
reflection on the common sense of
the American people? Can't they do
something about it?
Of course they can! Our country
has been so intent on the immediate
job Of winning the war that it has
neglected thus far to prepare for win
ming the peace. That's a natural and
normal oversight. But it must and
can be corrected at once.
The first thing to do is to learn the
name of your Congressman. Most
Americans, to their shame, don't know
it. The next step is to write or wire
your Congressman--and your Sena-
