NO LIQUOR SHORTAGE
BOARDING UNNECESSARY

lowering over the world to-
day is the threat of another
war, but even so, this time
there is no justification for
anyone to hoard liquor. With
an eye to the ever changing
future, distilleries have manag-
ed to increase their output and
at the same time stock their re-
serve warehouses with enough
whiskey to last for a long time.
1t has been reported by j. A.
Collin, vice president of Schen-
ley Distributors, Inc, that the
trade sources were buying in
larger quantities than at the
same time last year, and there
had been some instances al
ready in which it was not pos
sible for a distiller to contract
to deliver the entire amount of
orders received for certain old
er WHISTLES.
Whether the distilling indus
try has enough aged and ag-
ing whiskey to supply all COM
ers during a continuing period
of national emergency, he said,
depends on two 'iffs:'

quired for production of war

HEAVEN AND HELL PARTY

A "heayen and He'll party
was given at the Sinclair Com
munity Baptist Church. 1t was
sponsored by the PASTOR Aide
Society.
Tickets were pulled by all
of the guests to determine
their destinations. Reverend
E. S. BRAZIL acted as Christ,
and Mr.. doc" Nathan, hum
orously costumed, represented
the devil. Delicious homemade
ice cream and cake were served
to those in Heaven and very
hot chill and cocoa was served
to the others.
There were a very large num-
Der of guests present at the
party. A really hilarious time
was had by all present.

saw that there are no new from
tiers. They would have us believe
that there ran be no further pro-
gress in our time. I see two new
grand frontiers before us-that
of SCIENCE, of which we all
have just enough knowledge to
merely cast us in the role of in
terested bystanders. The second
and upon which I would like to
dwell, is that of HUMAN RE-
RELATIONS.
Brought together, through trans
portation and communication, into
a small and wiser world in our time
the peoples of the earth are more
conscious of each other as nations
and more mindful of each other
as individuals. Studies are being
made for the first time in Human
Relations; studies apparently un
necessary until now. We are
pioneers in this new frontier. Pho
neers because, disturbing as the
fact is. we in America are a
people reluctantly but wonder
fully grown up who must now, by
grim necessity, fully understand
the urgency of our time, our po-
sition in the world of peoples and
our enormous responsibilities to
both.
The great ideoligies at grips in
the world today-In the forefront
of democracy is equal opportun-
tiles and equal rights for all; and,
do not forget, that democracy is
the best vehicle for human free
dom! Contrast this with COM
munism and you can readily see
that, as pioneers in Human Rela-
tions, we must not, cannot, fail!
Should Portland's civil rights
ordinance fail in November, which
it must not, Stains propaganda
will have the facts in no time
blasting away at her satellites that
America does not practice what
she breaches. There is a demo-
cratic, a moral, a Christian issue

This is chiefly due to the un-
usually sharp cleavage between
the republicans and their dem
ocratic rivals, for the first time
in a number of years. There has
always been some shade of
difference, in the pronounce
ments of the two parties, but
this year it is distinct.
The republicans are vigor-
ously opposed to every shade
and blend of soviet-socialism,
and the democrats are found
pussy footing on some issues
which their republican rivals
have labeled socialistic.
With Walter Williams, re-
publican senatorial nominee
vigorously denouncing the dem
ocratic leaning toward social
lied medicine, and the republi-
can state platform taking cog
nizance of this issue, the doc
tors, dentists, nurses, and other
technicians of the medical pro-
fessions have been drawn into
a political campaign for the
first time in the history of the
republic.
This, and many other factors
arise to make this one of the
most interesting campaigns in
the history of the state. That
the fur will fly before Novem
Der election is certain. The
republicans, for the first time
in a decade, have taken the
initiative in the campaign.
Their democratic rivals have not
thus far openel up with the big
guns Of the campaign. They will
swing into action in a short
time, and the show will be on
IN earnest.
TO the disinterested citizen,
whose chief activity in a cam
paign is the role of a voter,
most of the tom-tom beating
is only a form of entertainment.
To the party chieftains, and the
candidates, it is something ap-
preaching a major combat.
