WORDEN'S dispatch describes
the way Ihc Japs have lived
and worked on Altu on a hand
ful o( lice and some putrid lish,
sleeping in filthy holes.
It's tough, according to Ameri
can standards, but let's not for
get that's the way Genghis Khan
iuid his Mongols lived. Their food
and shelter standards were TER
RIBLE in comparison with those
of the armies they fought.
But they WON THEIR BAT
TLES. ENGHIS KHAN fed and slid-
U terod his Mongol armies on
unbelievably little, but Ills ARMA
MENT and his TACTICS were
beyond criticism. He was the
world's first exponent at FIRE
POWER, arming his soldiers
with two bows, one! for : long
range and one fur close range.
His staff work was so careful and
accurate that without radio or
telegraph communication he
could " start invading columns
hundreds of miles apart and
bring them out TOGETHER at
the dcslrpd Junction point within
a matter of hours of the time set.
The Mongol's food habits con
tributed to their effectiveness by
minimizing enormously their
problem of supply.
SO far Washington's policy has
been one uf consistent UN
DERESTIMATION of the Jap.
That policy brought us humiliat
ing Pearl Harbor.
Let's quit under estimating our
Pacific enemy.
JIMMY BYRNES (our new czar
of all czars! tells his home
town (Spartanshurg, S. C.) that
"squabbling government agen
cies" will In time be streamlined
Into an efficient (home front I
war machine.
He says:
"Your government has no right 1
to call an you to work as a team
if it is not going to demand of
government officials that THEY
work as a team."
He adds:
"There have been controversies
in government, but America's
great armament production has
demonstrated that these contro
versies and their effect on the
war effort have been exaggerat
ed." He tells his home towners that
our HUNIi:ElTHOCSANlTH
plane since our war elfort began
has just come off the assembly
line, that 100 fighting ships have
been finished in the first five
months of 1913 and that our
licet will be lKd'HLED in size
this year: that we are building
merchant ships Ft it'll TIMES as
fast as they are being sunk.
By Charles V. Stanton
iMONCi recent purchasers of farm property in Douglas county
" is a man from a midwestern state who has been a reader
of ihe Koseburg News-Review for the past three years. Know
ing that within a few years he would be retired on pension, this
man started to seek the locality in which he desired to live after
his period of employment had been terminated. He had de
cided he would locate on the Pacific coast and had chosen sev
eral areas as prospective locations. To determine the one of
his choice, he subscribed for newspapers and read them care
fully. I hrough this reading, Douglas county was the outstand
ing favorite and now he is one of our residents.
It s surprising how many people use newspapers as an aid
in selecting the location for a home. The Ncws-Kevicw at the
present time has 37 such homcseekcrs on its subscription list.
1 he number is below normal, for within six months, subscrip
tion records show, nine News-Review readers, who received the
paper in California, Minnesota, Illinois, Oklahoma and other
states, have moved to Douglas county.
A woman visiting from an adjoining state was in the office
recently.
we may decide to locate here," she said. "I want a copy
of your paper to get the tone of your city."
We thought her use of the word "tone" most apropos, for
the meaning of the word, according to Webster, includes "trend,
character or quality of morals, breeding, behavior."
A newspaper, above rill else, accurately reflects these charac
teristics. It is the tuning fork which vibrates in harmony with
the "tone" of the community. 1
The homeseeker wants to know the quality of schools, the I
number and kind of churches, the type of people, whether na- i
live or foreign born; the business activity, whether the com-1
munity is industrial or agricultural, whether it is on an ascend
ing or descending plane. Chamber of commerce literature can
provide pictures and statistics, but only the newspaper can
mirror the lives of the people.
The weddings, births and funerals, the news of court pro
ceedings, the church news, the society news, the industrial and
business reports provide the homeseeker with the information
he desires. These are items concerning people the people who
will be his neighbors if he selects that particular locality in which
his newspaper is published. After all, it is people who make a
community, not farms and factories. Japs may predominate in
a farming community. Foreign elements may operate fac
tories. But scan the names in a newspaper and you can quickly
form an opinion of the type of people who live in its trade
territory.
But there is one department in which responsibility for the
true picture does not fall entirely upon the newspaper. Newspaper-reading
homcscekers tell us that the advertising columns
are read as religiously as the news columns, l lomescekers want
o know that the merchants who will serve them are using mod-
ijrn merchandising methods. They want to know they will have
Uniplc stocks of merchandise from which to fill their needs.
I hey well know the modern merchant should set aside a cer
tain percentage of his sales to maintain an advertising budget.
When a newspaper depicts the home-town merchant as being
haphazard in his advertising, the homeseeker rigidly judges
him to be haphazard in merchandising methods. On the other
hand, well-executed and continuous advertising campaigns
show healthy merchandising "tone" and are conducive to favor
able opinion and action on the part of the homeseeker.
A newspaper seriously accepts its responsibility as a minor
of community lite, but it remains n fact that the newspaper is
only a mirror. The community can only be reflected as it
actually exists. 1 he newspaper's duty is discharged when a
true and undistorted reflection is produced.

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
In the latter part of the
fourth century of our era there
was born a lad, w ho when six
teen years of age. was taken
as a captive to Ireland, where
he was herd boy to a nalive
chief for six years. 1 le had
been reared in a Christian
home, and he says that while
in Ireland "The Lord opened
my eyes to a sense of my un
belief, and taught me lo re
member my sin. and to be con
verted lo the Lord w ith all my
heart." He escaped from cap
tivity and prepared himself
for missionary work. Then a
vision came to him and a voice
summoned him to return to
Ireland and preach the gospel
there. His . parents opposi'd
Ibis, but be went. The end of
long years of work .pursued in
the face of opposition and
peril, saw Christianity estab
lished throughout Ihe island,
lie was laid lo resi, it is said,
on March 17th. lio A. D. and
so we do well to remember the
sell sacritice of St. Patrick,
"the apostle ol Ireland." So
thoroughly did be live in the
lives of thousands that this day
is celebrated in loing memory
of one who at all times anil
everywhere gave his strength
lo the weak, his sympathy to
the Mittering. his substance to
the poor, his heart to God. and
thereby won a people to stand
tor righteousness and truth.
Amen.

By Edsel B, Ford

DETROIT, June 3-tOI'AI !
1 he will of Edsel Ford was filed :
for probate today and, because it ;
bequeathed the greater part of
his Ford Motor company stock lo '
the Ford foundation, attorneys es-;
timated estate inheritance and
transfer taxes might not amount I
to much more than $12,000,000. 1
Earlier reports, based solely up-
on conjecture, had placed the pos
sible lax at as much as $200,-1
000.000.
Attorneys said the estate itself
probably would amount to $200,
000,000. Edsel Ford, only son of Henry
Ford and late president of the
Ford Motor Co., died last week at ;
Ihe age of 49.
The Ford foundation, a 11011-1
profit corporation, was organized 1
in 1936 for educational and other '
purposes. Gifts to organizations;
of its type are not taxable. i
That portion of the Ford slock ;
not bequeathed to the foundation i
is left in equal shares to Mrs.
Eleanor Clay Ford,, the widow, j
and each of the four children. ,
The Kord Motor Co. is capi- !
lalized at $10,000,0(10 -twenty mil-:
lion shares at $5 a share, of 1
which but 3,152.900 shares were !
outstanding as of September 1, 1
1942. Ninety-five per cent of thej
company stock, known as "Class -A,"
is non-voting; five per cent, '
known as "Class B," is voting
slock. I
Latest available data indicate :
Henry Ford held 55 per cent of
the stock; Edsel Ford 411 per cent :
and Mrs. Henry Ford 31 per cent, j
Each held "Class B" stock ill pro
portion to his or her holding of
"Class A" stock.
Edsel Kord also owned or con
trolled a majority of the stock in
the Manufacturers National bank
of Detroit.
