feels that it should be intelligently
answered, rather than lightly put
aside or evaded by veterans.
Six (6) reasons are advanced by
the Post for considered thought by
veterans, who are honorably ds-
charged and eligible for member
ship. Three appear this week and
the other three will appear next
week.
1. GEOGRAPHICALLY: The
Legion is an outstanding exponent
of Democracy. A firm believer in
majority to rule. "a minority to
criticised. and both to cooperate in
emergencies. We have been bless
ed under a Democracy, and, sup
porting The Legion, which vigor-
ously combats un-American ideol-
ogies, protects our way of life.
Free men, eligible for The Legion,
should support it.
2. SENTIMENTALLY: Imbedded
in the hearts and minds of veter-
ans is that "unforgettable some
thing, which firmly cements them
together. A justifiable pride is
theirs for the service they rendered
Our Country. The modest way to
show it is by wearing The Legion
button. the one button with an
emblem that never offends. Every
honorably discharged veteran may
join the Legion. Service under
orders" is what counts, as it should
be.
8. PERIODICALLY: The citi-
cents of every community to a !
very large degree expect their |
veterans to join organizations that |
promote patriotism. Patriotism
must live, and, it is the solemn
Smyrna times., 1947-11-20

duty of all conscientious veterans
to keep it alive in an organized
manner. The Legion provides the
organization. And veterans should
seriously consider this -. Some
youth, maybe unknown to a veter-
an, may be setting him up as his
hero and ideal. That kid should
not be let down by veteran being
just average citizen. A veteran
owes that kid and his community
more than that.
An Omission
In last weeks issue, the names
of the newly-elected Post Officers
appeared, and the name of Mr.. G.
Davis Turner was unintentionally
omitted. Mr.. Turner was also
elected one of the three Vice Com
manders of the Local Legion Post.

caved in but managed to wrig-
gle their way to safety.
Among them was a small boy
who kept yelling: "get the
women and children out first"
Known Dead
The known dead were "Pop"
Fong, owner of the restaurant
and patriarch of the Fong fam
| lily; Kim H. Fong; Eugene JAMS
sen, 35, salesman; William E.
Grove, At, railroad employe,
and Mrs. Raymond Peterson,
|19, housewife, all of Nanpa.
Property damage was unoffi-
cially estimated at $4,000. The
two story brick building hous-
ing the restaurant and tavern
was completely destroyed n d
brick buildings adjoining it on
either side We damaged.
The explosion touched of a
brief period of hysteria as rela-
tives of persons believed in the
building rushed to the scene,
but order was restored ra"idly.
Red Cross disaster units and
the Nampa unit of the National
Guard were called into action.
It was feared that other dead
or injured lay beneath the great
pile of debris and more than
100 men, working under flood
lights and using heavy cranes,
searched throughout the night,
but early. today no more vic
tins had been found and Les
singer said he was "almost sat
isfied' that no one else was
trapped in the buildings.
Driver Injured
It was first believed the ex-
plosion was that of a Butane
gas truck which was parked be-
hind the restaurant. However, it
was found that the truck tank
did not explode although it's
driver, Wayne Killum, was in
|jured critically.
The blast was heard for miles
around this Southwestern Idaho
town. Windows were shattered
for a two-block radius.
M. W. Bainbride, Portland,
Ore, travelling salesman, had
stopped in the restaurant for a
cup Of coffee. He was caught
inside the building for some
time but escaped with only mi
nor Injuries.

a lot of balls of fire were COM

This also evoked a wide range

governors, including Herbert of
Ohio. Green believed victory
was as good as won now. Two
governors answered this ques-
ton with the word, "good." An
other replied, ''fair";; another,
"50-5O," and still another, "bet-
ter than $685."
6. If you are confident of vic
tory, what major act or acts of
the Truman administration
have displeased the voters most
OF all and thus given you this
confidence?
The greatest number of COM
ments were received in reply to
this final question.
The governors again split
evenly on two major issues -
Mr.. Truman's successful double
veto of the COP income tax re-
duction plan, and his unsuccess-
full veto of the Taft-Hartley la
Dor legislation. One state exec
utive believed , however, that
the voters would be inclined to
consider the "broad field" of
administration activities rather
than "specific acts"
Among the other replies were
these: "Indecision and furnb-
ling; inflationary policies;
"Kansas City vote frauds;
general confusion; "continua-
ton of high spending pro-
grams" and "all-around failure
to get things done"
One Not Sure
A governor representing a far
Western state replied to the
question with the comment that
while majority Of people
give him (Mr. Truman) credit
for trying to do a good job,
they don't feel that he is big
enough to get it DONE,
The chief executive Of mid
Western stare wrote that he
could not answer because he
was not confident of a RepubIi-
can triumph at the polls next
November. And he took occa-
sion to pen a brief lecture to
his party.
"Tax reduction and the Taft
Hartley law will never win the
election" he said. "The party
has missed the boat so far. It
has not exposed the fallac;es
and nisdeeds of the new deal,
and it has said me, too to
everything, foreign relations in
cluded."
