tions of the world to discuss their
problems.
.; BUT, he adds, "It was doomed
to failure from the start as a se
', furlty organization because any
- ONE of the Big Three (United
States, Great Britain and Russia)
can by use of the veto power pre
vent It from functioning effec
tively." We'd all like to say that Rob
erts Is utterly mistaken, but hav
ing seen the veto power In ac
tion during the past couple of
years we are compelled to admit
that what he says isn't far off
the truth.
WHY Is It so hard to get na
tions to act together for their
common good?
Well, Machiavelll told us four
centuries ago that NATIONS and
PEOPLE are different. The RUL
ER, he said (using RULER as
synonymous with GOVERN
MENT), is not bound by any
such code of honor as binds indi
viduals, ff it suits his (national)
purpose to LIE, he must lie. If it
suits his (national) purpose to
commit murder, he must commit
murder. In other words, ANY
means that gain his end are justi
fied by the principle of "national
istic welfare."
That was obviously true In Ma
chiavelll's time. It is almost as
true now. It Is still basically true
that NATIONS, which contend
, (hat their rights are "sovereign"
that Is to say, not subject to any
control whatsoever by any rights
are "sovereign" that is to say,
not subject lto any control what
soever by any other nation rec
ognize no law save the primeval
law of claw and fang.
Until NATIONS become PEO
PLE -that is until they submit to
the basic laws of human decency,
as Individuals are willing to do
collective action by the nations
of the world FOR THE COM
MON GOOD will be beautiful in
principle but difficult in practice.
ON'T lose confidence in Unit
ed Nations. But don't expect
it to settle all our problems
RIGHT NOW. Making a better
world TAKES TIME time reck
oned In centuries rather than in
days.
THERE is an Interesting and
highly significant little story
in the news.
A Miss Vella Wilcox, who lives
in Hong Kong, inherited a share
of an Illinois estate. Her share
amounted to $709.t3 in U. S.
money, and a check for that
amount was sent to her. When
she cashes the check In Hong
Kong, she will gel somewhat in
excess of SEVEN MILLION HOL
LARS In Chinese money.
For a little while, she will be
richer than Croesus - In her mind.
Just looking at the words SEV
EN MILLION DOLLARS written
on a check made payable to you
gives you delusions of grandeur.
As human beings, we're built
lliat way.
IT'S the same Willi our ROOM
incomes In these days of Infla
tion. We look at our paychecks
and say gleefully to ourselves:
"Boy! This Is a wonderful world!
Why didn't somebody tell Grand
pa about all this so Dad could
have had what wo have?"
.
BUT when we go out to spend
the money well, that is an
other story. We discover then
that IN TERMS OF THINGS we
get Just about what we got back
In the days of the depression.
That Is the way it will be with
Miss Wilcox when she goes out

DEAN OF OREGON EDITORS
By CHARLES V. STANTON
Scientific and mechanical processes connected with pub
lication of a newspaper have undergone remarkable changes
during the past 50 years. But while new inventions in the
field of mechanical composition, transmission of news, pho
tography, engraving and printing have altered methods of
publication, the principles of editing have remained virtually
unchanged since the days when our newspapers were first
founded upon the constitutional guarantee of freedom of
speech. Throughout intervening years, editors of the nation
have fought to preserve that right of free expression, have
endeavored to maintain honesty and integrity in dissemina
tion of news, have given of their best to community service,
and through constructive criticism, interpretation, analysis,
praise and condemnation have essayed to preserve and pro
tect basic tenets of government and improve the welfare of
our nation and its people.
The achievement of our American Press in maintaining
nn unchanging ideal and policy of service, while implement
ing itself with every new invention to improve that service,
embraces a history of sacrifice, heroism, suffering, persecu
tion, devotion and fidelity admitting no parallel.
This saga of newspaper development during the last half
century finds perfect personification in the life of Amos
Earle Voorhies, publisher of the Grants Paxs Courier, dean
of Oregon editors, who will celebrate on Tuesday, July 1,
the culmination of 50 consecutive years as an Oregon editor
and publisher.
Born in Michigan in 1869, Voorhies became an unpaid
apprentice on his home town newspaper, following gradua
tion from high school. In those days apprentices gave their
services in exchange for learning the trade. He moved to
Oregon in 1891 and worked in Portland job shops. He was
among those thrown out of work by invention of the lino
type. With other displaced employes, he entered into publi
cation of a short-lived morning newspaper in Portland.
In 1895, he moved to Grants Pass, as foreman of the
Oregon Observer, and July 1, 1897, purchased the Grants
Puku Courier, then a struggling weekly.
The Courier, 50 years ago, was set by hand and printed
hon a hand-turned press. The
machine through use of a homemade water turbine, which
frequently failod to develop sufficient power during summer
months when irrigation lowered pressure.
Today The Courier is housed in an attractive building. It
has all of the most modern machinery and equipment needed
for publication of a daily of its size. The plant is thoroughly
efficient.
Amos Voorhies for a period of 50 years has been a com
munity builder. While keeping his own business in line with
progress, he has aggressively led tho'area he served. He has
insisted upon the highest type of newspaper publication.
Through editorial influence he has stimulated cooperation
and constructive effort. He is typical of the "country editor"
at his best. He has never sought great honor for himself. He
has never held political office. He has been self-effacing,
giving credit to others for the deeds accomplished through
his inspiration. He has worked steadfastly and earnestly for
his community, his state and his nation, and has been par
ticularly demanding in preservation of the ethics of the
Oregon press.
He is the author and donor of the Amos Voorhies award,
a trophy or merit which goes to editors distinguished for
-service to the public and the high traditions of the news
paper profession. His own name is inscribed upon the trophy,
currently held by Judge Robert Sawyer of Bend, editor of
Tim Demi HiiUrtiii, not because he made the trophy possible,
as an inspiration to editors, but because, in the opinion of
his fellow editors and publishers, his achievements merited
his position among the noted men who have given such illus
trious service to the Oregon press.
Fifty years i a long time in public service, lit many clas
sifications of work, retirement on pension is a reward after
25 or 30 years of labor. But Amos Voorhies seeks no retire
ment. Although, because of advancing years', he is not as
active in the conduct of his newspaper as in former times,
and spends more hours at his home on the banks of the
beautiful Uogue River, his heart still is open to every need
and appeal of his community. The modern facilities for pub
lication he has provided throughout many years of struggle,
remain, as firmly and aggressively as ever, readv for any
battle for the right, while the will for service is imdimmed
by years.
. Amos Voorhies deserves to wear proudly his title as Dean
of Oregon Editors.

Driyers Opposed
Any proposal of the Federal
Government to move into the
field of motor vehicle driver li
censing will he strongly opposed

which has shown steady progivss
toward uniformity under state
administration.
"Such a hill would involve the
establishment of a hw.p federal
bureaucracy with branches reach
ing into every corner of the na
tion. It would add another tax
burden to the already overbur
dened motorist and it would give
the federal government power to
deprive citizens of the nrivileee

thereby earning their living even
in inetr own immediate neigh

amended drivers' license law
which is designed to simplify the
enewai oi drivers menses as an
example of forward-looking
driver license administration at
the state level. He said the states
should he entrusted with this re
sponsibility, rather than the fed

Peaceful Human
Beings Top Heed,
Psychologist Says
By PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. C. A Ca
nadian psychologist, Dr. G. Brock
Chisholm of Ottawa, stood up
right in New York the other day
and told the American Psychi
atric Assn. that "they had just
two years ... to justify their
existence In the eyes of the world
by becoming leaders in the
planned development of a new
kind of human being who can
live at peace with himself and
bis fellow men."
This is the best idea yet. What
this world needs is a new type
of human human being. . But gee
whiz, Doc only two years to
make him in? It has taken man
kind some millions of years to
emerge this far from the jelly
fish stage. It will take no mean
miracle to metamorphose man
into a new model by 1950.
But according to Dr. Chisholm
who is incidentally no quack
hut executive secretary of the
United Nations World Health Or
ganization, or WHO it has to be
done. "Revolutionary changes in
our environment during the last
two or three years," he Rays,
"have made the past almost en
tirely irrevelanf to the future."
That's a lot of psychiatric gob-
bledygook. What it means is that
things ain't what they used to
be and you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Anyway, since world environ
ment has changed, what is need
ed is a new type human being.
To heck with this business of
trying to make over the world to
fit man. Rex Tugwcll tried that
back in 1933 and made almost no
orogress. How much simpler to
make man over to lit his world.
It is in the spirit of wanting
to be helpful that this depart
ment would like to drop in the
suggestion box a few specifica
tions for the Chisholm Project
Mankind Modification Center.
Environment Now Perils
As the doc says, man's environ
ment nas changed. What ne
needs, therefore, is to grow a
new protective mechanism to
shut out the environment.
Let's see. There's propaganda.
It's certainly part of the new en
vironment, and it's hard to tell
what's true and what's false.
What the made-over 1950 model
man needs is a snap in front of
the orifice on his ears to permit
buttoning down upper and lower
lobes.
Or else the tongue should be
made sensilive to truth and false
hood. When someone starts hand
ing the new human a line, he
should he made to stick out his
tongue, like litmus paper, to test
it. If the tongue turns blue the
ultra- modernized man would
know that what he .was saying
or hearing or reading wasn't so.
That would be that.
Then there's air conditioning.
The old model T man's cooling
system of automatic pores to
open and exude sweat is pretty
obsolete and messy. Trying to
air-condition houses and offices
changing the environment to fit
outmoded man instead ol vice
versa is no help.
What mankind needs is a new
built-in refrigerating and heating
system, circulating icewater in
summer and steam in winter,
through an auxiliary system of
veins and arteries.
Extinction Threat
With a new heart maybe hu
man beings could get rid of some
of their hereditary selfishness,
aggressiveness, pugnacity, deceit,
stupidity, laziness and general all
around low down orneryness.
Anything else? Oh yee. There's
that atom bomb that is cluttering
up the environment. Heretofore
in history mankind has had to
combat only nature including
perversities of human nature.
But now, as Dr. Chisholm points
out. "man faces extinction by the
wvapons he has created."
Well, the only way to keep out
atomic rays is to get behind six
feet of earth, two feet of concrete
and six inches of lead. It will be
up to the psychiatrists to cross
breed thick-skinned and thick
skulled man to develop a hybrid
with a protective epidermis of
this nature. If it could be done
in a couple years, a couple gen
erations or a couple centuries
any resemblance which human
kind might then bear to a corpse
- dead and buried in a lead cas
ket in a concrete vault under six
fi-ot of earch would be purely
coincidental.
Doc. It looks hopeless. You can't
change human nature.

Rules Listed for
Visitors in Forest
During Dry Season
Although the June rains have
reduced the forest fire hazard
temporarily, the summer season
of 1947 still could be dangerous,
according to Larry Mays, U. S.
Forest Service chief of fire con
trol, Portland, Oregon.
"With the early dry spring,"
said Mays, "it would take but a
few davs of hot weather and low
humidity to bring about bad
burning conditions in the forests.
Exoerlence has shown that we
can expect such periods in July
and August."
Mays announced that the usual
restrictions will be effective July
1 on all national forests of Ore
gon and Washington. The gen
eral restrictions are:
1. No smoking while traveling
except on highways:
2. Campers must have camp
fire permits for all areas except
nosted and improved camp
grounds; 3. Persons traveling by car or
horseback must carry fire fight
ing tools, including shovel, axe,
and bucket.
Mays urged that all smokers
use the ash tray when driving on
forest roads, since smokers head
the list of man caused forest
tiros. He emphasized also, for the
benefit of Fourth of July visitors,
the rule of no fireworks in na
tional forests.
"Burned timber builds no
homes," said the fire chief, -'and
the best way to keep timber from
burning is tn nmvoni f;
starting. If we will all work to-
peiner on this, we can Keep Ore
gon and Washington Green."
Mays said that most Jorost visi
tors are careful, and obey the
rules, but he asked that all forest
lovers and good woodsmen co
operate to educate and curb the
careless minority.

Vol. IX
No. 27
Published Weekly by the Douglas County Flour Mill, Makers of
UMPQUA CHIEF FLOUR and Umpqua Brand Poultry and Dairy Feeds
Make With the Sox.
UMPQUA FEEDS of all kinds
are priced way, way below any
other feeds of equal, or even
near equal quality. There arc
several logical reasons for this
fact.
Of course, the biggest reason
is that the Douglas County Flour
Mill is locally owned and oper
ated. Feed is sold direct to the
customer, and no extra profits
nor transportation has to be
added. It's like an old slogan of
years ago: "A Kalamazoo direct
to you."
Another very important rea
son for the economy of UMP
QUA FEEDS is that you can
save a dime a sack, or $2.00 a
ton by returning the empty sack
for a refill. If we had to use all
new sacks, feed would be con
siderably higher even than now.
By thoroughly cleaning and
using over again as many sacks
as you folks return to us, we can
make our price a little lower,
too. So you really make more
than the dime wc pay you back
for your used bag. You can't af
ford not to return them, for
even if wc didn't pay you for
them, your feed would still cost
somewhat less.
Sacks are still In the "hard-to-get"
list. In making our plans
with the sack manufacturers,
we have figured on you folks
returning about a given num
ber of empty sacks for rpfill. If
we don't get as many as we fig
ured, it will make us squirm to
find room for all the feed we
arc making.
Everybody predicted so much
less feed would he required this
year than for many years past,
due to drastic reduction in the
numbers of turkeys, chickens
and hogs. But wo find at the
Douglas Flour Mill that we are
making even more than we did
last year.
The reasons, wc think arc nb
vinus. Yes, very much so. t'MP
Ql"A FEEDS are producing such
outstanding results, and .the
price is so far below other feeds,
together with the fact that
prices for farm produce later is
so uncertain, that evervbody is
switching to UMPQUA FEEDS.
And that's whv we need sacks.

Price Prospects.
Due to circumstances beyond
our control, we shouldn't be a
whole lot surprised to see feed
prices go even higher. Floods in
the "corn belt" are holding back
plantings, and washing out some
corn already planted. There is
still time for another 3 billion
bushel crop, but at best, the crop
will be much below earlier esti
mates. Wheat is doing fine, but con
tinued wet weather is causing
some concern regarding possible
rust damage. The gamblers are
using these facts as a basis for
buying futures. But the Guv'
ment also wants futures, so has
to compete with the gamblers.
The USDA alloted some 53
million bushels for August ship
ment overseas, in addition to
nearly 58 million for July. And
goodness knowns how much
corn, despite the fact that farm
ers can't plant corn.
Furthermore, t h e "Wheat
Loan Rate," which automat
ically goes far towards soiling
prices, is SI. 95 for feed wheat
at Portland. That is 35c a bushel
higher than last year. And 35c
a bushel means practically 60c a
hundred to you.

We Accept Progress.
For years now, we have nag
ged you to coax your turkeys
to eat more scratch grain. We
figured it wouldn't hurt 'em, and
scratch was always cheaper. So
you could lower your production
costs.
Nowadays we have to change
our ideas quite regularly. We
find that good old UMPQUA
TURKEY GROW selling at $4.15,
good old Umpqua Scratch $4.70,
and you in the habit of forcing
the poults to eat scratch. Well,
we still want to nag you to feed
the cheapest feed that's pond.
So let those poults have all the
uivirmuA TUKKtY GKOW they
want. Maybe wheat will get
cheaper after harvest.
Chaff rom the Mill.
Haying help is still scarce.
One of our customers asked a
good customer of the local beer
parlor to come out to the
meadow.
"Whad'd'yuh pay" asked the
city slicker.
"I'll pay all you're worth,"
answered the farmer.
The city man considered a
minute then made his decision.
"I'll be durned if I'll work that
cheap."
"I suppose you think I'm a
eriect Idiot."
"Oh. shucks now, nobody's
perfect.
About Those Sacks.
Harvest is getling near. A
lot of people are saving everv
sack they can get their hand's
on to use for grain harvest. Now
that we have had such fine rains
there will be a big harvest.
But surely, you don't want to
use mash sacks for harvest.
They make too much weight
when filled with grain. Bring
in all the sacks you have. But
if you need sacks for harvest,
we can let you have all you
need, and of the kind you want.
We just beg you to bring in ail
the branded UMPQUA mash
and scratch sacks. We can let
you have a carload of just ordin
ary grain sacks for your harvest
needs.
