SHORT
Douglas County is only about one-half the distance to its
goal of $228,000 in the Opportunity Savings Bond Drive
which started May 16 and will continue through June.
H. 0. Pargeter, county chairman, is urging community
workers to greater effort during the closing period of the
campaign, stating that committee activity has not been
aggressive to date.
The situation in Douglas
Oregon generally, as the report covering purchases through
June 4 listed sales totalling
the assigned quota of $9,790,000.
Indications are that the
purpose, that of stimulating
payroll deductions.
It is the purpose of the current drive to appeal principally
to wage earners to set up a program of systematic savings
by buying bonds regularly through the payroll plan. In
Douglas County, however, and in Oregon generally, it is
apparent sales so far have been largely to the employer
group and the so-called "white
All bond purchases, of course, are to be commended, no
matter who the buyer may be,
protection to the individual
; savings on the part of the employee group.
Employers and white-collar workers usually have a sav
ings program, but too few workers for day wages, even
though superior to white-collar workers in average income
under present day conditions, have established methods for
systematic savings.
We were told recently by one of the state's leading bankers
that a national study of savings accounts indicated that, with
but few exceptions, people having savings accounts today
were saving systematically prior to the late war ; that com
paratively few people, including those who held high-paying
jobs during the war period, had continued additions to
reserve funds.
It must, of course, be taken into consideration that the
standard of living for the average wage earner has advanced
considerably during recent years. Due to better rate of
pay, and despite higher living costs, he can afford a better
home, a better automobile, more labor-saving devices in the
home, more entertainment, better clothing, etc. Acquisition'
of these things, plus improved living standards, all com
mendable, account for disposition of much of the gain in
income.
But no family can afford to. put everything into advance
ment in living standards and exclude entirely a systematic
savings program.
Many families, it is true, accumulated a reserve fund
during war years when they bought bonds for patriotic
reasons. Some are holding these bonds for emergency pur
poses, timers have some definite plan in mind lor tneir
use when prices are more suitable. Statistics show, however,
that the payroll savings system is being used by too few
people.
Here in Douglas County .we
operative in buying bonds through the payroll plan. No
industry has more ups and downs than the timber industry
on which we principally depend for local economy. It has
periods of high employment and
fluctuating with weather, markets, availability of transpor-
tation equipment, etc. Perhaps no worker is less secure in
the matter of continuous employment than the timber
worker.
It is entirely within the worker's power, however, to give
himself greater security if, during his period of employment,
he makes provision for days when he will be temporarily out
of work. No better plan exists to obtain this insurance
than the payroll savings program.
There is still time to bring Douglas County bond sales up
to the assigned quota and it is to be hoped- the goal will be
reached and in line with the purpose of the current cam
paign.
Man Still Lives After Two
BALTIMORE, June 14. WP

Heart was torn here Saturday.

The man, James W. Staneck,

This is the story of what fol

Castaena:
Stanek, a printer, was given
the customary preoperative phy
sical checkup and his heart and
lungs were reported in normal
condition.
He was given a commonly
used anesthetic and shortly after
wards his breathing stopped, as
did his heartbeat.
Dr. Castagna made an Incision
In the chest and began gently
massaging the heart.
"According to all the rules,"
the doctor said, "this man was
dead."
Twenty minutes after the heart
stopped it began to respond un
der the massage. Then, Just as
signs of life returned, they be
gan to disappear.
Nurses and doctors started fil

250 Persons At Picnic
TOPEKA, Kas., June 14.-4n
An estimated 250 persons were
treated for food poisoning last
night following a company pic

The victims, arriving by ambu

emergency treatment at the hos

lin's "Whistle"!
Looking wishfully at my book-
friends, hoping for an idea that
would Interest the Eighth Grad
ers who had invited me to speak
at their graduation, I was sud
denly asked by a tiny red volume:
"What about the whistle, the one
Benjamin Franklin paid too
much for?" The very thing.
That learned gentleman had, at
the age of 73, when he was our
envoy to France, gone back to
his childhood for the story. So
he must have thought It Import
ant?!' Maybe the1 Curtln School
students might, too.
After telling about the time
when, as a boy of seven, he "paid
too much for a whistle," Franklin
goes on to tell about adults who
also pay too much for whatever
the whistle happens to be at the
moment. I could tell of a lad who
skipped everything he could in
high school to devote himself the
better to baseball ... he certain
ly paid too much for that whistle!

Security Not Fitting Substitute For
Self-Reliance, Herbert Hoover Says
By DEWITT MACKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
That was a bold and challenging speech which former President
Herbert Hoover made at Ohio Wesleyan University during the week
end, when he took a vigorous dig at the brand of "new era" thinking
which substitutes security for self-reliance. It's likely to bring him
a good deal of mall, pro and con.
Certainly the topic la timely,
for there are few corners of the
world where it isn't being dis
cussed and In many cases experi
mented witn. liven Jonn isun,
who through the generations has
stood for solid conservatism, now
is up to his neck in Socialism.
Hoover said that while "secur
ity" eliminates the risks of life,
it "also kills the joy that lies in
competition, In individual ad
venture, new undertakings and
new achievements. These contain
moral and Intellectual impulses
more vital than even profits, for
from them alone comes national
progress."
This is from a man whose life
is a romance of American suc
cess. He was orphaned at 10 and
was self-supporting by 15. He
rose to the top as a mining-
engineer, working in many parts
of the world. Fame came to him
for his relief administration work
in Europe during World War
one, and finally he was elected
to the presidency. Previously he
had served eight years as secre
tary oi commerce.
And it is recorded that Hoover
gave every dollar from his public
salaries to help the needy. But
let's get back to that speech.
no substitute For Profit
At all times in history there
have been many who sought es
cape into 'security' from self
reliance," said the ex-president.
And, if you will look over the
workings of these newest eras
throughout the world, you may
note that the judgment of the
Lord on Adam has not been en
tirely reversed, even by the
Supreme Court of the United
States.
'Moreover, governments have
not been able to fix the wages
of sin. Nor have they found a
substitute for profit . and other
personal stimulants."
Do you remember what the
Lord said to Adam? It went like
this:
Because thou has hearkened
unto the voice of thy wife, and
has eaten of the tree, of which
I commanded thee, saying, thou
shalt not eat of it: cursed is the
ground for thy sake; in sorrow
shalt thou eat of it all the days
of thy life;
"Thorns also and thistles shall
it bring forth to thee; and thou
shalt eat the herb of the field;
"In the sweat of thy face shalt
tnou eat oread, till thou return
unto the ground; for out of it
wast thou taken: for dust thou
art, and unto dust shalt thou re
turn." The United States hasn't em
braced all the new era Ideas, said
Mr. Hoover, adding:
"The reactionary notion of
equal opportunity with the right
of everyone to go as far as his
ambitions and abilities will take
him, provided Jie does not tres
pass on others,1 still holds in the
American dream."
Does it still hold In the dreams

of other "capitalistic" nations?
Well, Britain for one is making
a great experiment in socialism.
She has had some four years
of Socialism, going far in nation
alization and even daring to
socialize medicine. Another gen
eral election is due to be held by
July of next year, and then the
people will pass the verdict on
the question of security versus
self-reliance, as Mr. Hoover
phrases it.
That verdict will be by a na
tion which achieved its greatness
through "competition, in individ
ual adventure, new undertakings
and new achievements."
