CREATING
By CHARLES V. STANTON
One of the speakers at the recent convention of the Oregon
Newspaper Publishers Association had an exceptionally
timely anecdote.
The speaker told of the man who set up a 'hot dog' stand.
It seems that the proprietor was imbued with old-fashioned
ideas of business, coupled with an abundance of ambition
and enterprise.
He selected his 'hot dogs and buns with great care, assur
ing top quality. His service was excellent. He kept his stand
neatly painted and scrupulously clean. He flooded his neigh
borhood for miles around with roadside signs advertising
his service. He advertised in all the nearby newspapers.
. Customers flocked to his stand and, pleased by his service,
told their friends about Joe's 'hot dogs.'
Then Joe's boy came back from college, where he had been
graduated with high honors in economics.
"Dad," said the son, "there's a depression coming. Busi
ness is going into a tailspin. We must retrench.
"If we are to survive the depression we've got to cut down
on the size of our buns. We can't afford to give so much
meat. Let's not spend money on painting this year. We can
save money by not advertising."
And so the father listened to the "expert" advice from the
young graduate economist.
. His stand grew dingy. His roadside signs disappeared.
His famous 'hot dogs' became mediocre. Business began to
slump and he had to lay off help, so his service suffered.
Then his customers, who had advertised his stand by word
of mouth, began to tell their friends that Joe's place no longer
served good food.
Finally Joe had to close his business.
','Education certainly is a great thing; I wouldn't have
known there was a depression if my son hadn't been so
smart," Joe said proudly.
We are now in the midst of a long-expected readjustment.
Many lines of business are beginning to feel the pinch.
Some will listen to bad advice. Others will keep on plugging,
continuing good service, utilizing advertising to extend their
sales, maintaining customer good-will.
We have all known that a readjustment must come eventu
ally. At present there is a widespread tendency on the part
of consumers to see how far prices will drop before buying
an automobile, building a tyrnse, securing new furniture or
buying goods other than the immediate necessities of life.
It is generally agreed by observers that there Is little
danger of a severe depression, because a huge backlog of
savings in the hands of the American people is waiting to
come into circulation whenever the time ia ripe. The only
thing that can create a depression is fear, and there is no
good reason for fear.
Advertising is the most efficient weapon with which to
fight depression. Advertising stimulates buying. Buying puts
money into circulation. Depressions result only when circu
lation of money is seriously impaired.
Joe's depression was self-made. Any depression we may
experience will be self-crented.
A large corporation such as the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co.,
has much concern about the "bears" of Wall Street, but real,
live, wild bears also trouble the company's timber managers.
More than three million seedling trees were planted by
Weyerhaeuser on twelve tree farms in Oregon and Wash
ington. Considerable loss is reported because of unfavorable
weather. Fire and disease menace the plantings. Foresters
also report heavy losses because bears, coming out of winter
hibernation, find an excellent spring tonic in the cambium
layer between the wood and bark of young trees.
Group Of Republicans Gird
For Battle Against Brannan
Program For Aiding Farmers
WASHINGTON, June 24.-I.T)
A group of Republican bave
girded for a fight against even a
"trial run" for the Truman ad
ministration's new farm program.
The battle may echo in next
year's congressional campaigning
In larm areas.
A House Agriculture Subcom
mittee has approved, 6 to 3, a
ncw farm bill that would:
1. Permit Secretary of Agricul
ture Brannan to experiment on
three crops in 1H50 with his pro
posed "production payment" farm
program. Hrannan contends his
program would mean cheaper
food and assured Income for
farmers.
2. Kill the 1SII8 Aiken law,
which is scheduled to set up next
year a flexible 60 to 90 per cent
of parity price support program
for agriculture. Parity is a price
level set arbitrarily some years
ago as a standard considered fair
to both farmers and consumers.
3. Create a new parltyoffarm
Income system, as proosed by
Brannan, and support prices of
major crops at 100 per cent of
that standard. This might mean
for most crops the highest price
supports ever attempted by the
government.
Prices of crops are now sup i
ported at no er cent of the old
parity standard.
Politics Charge Mads
Hep. August II. Andresen (R.
- Minn.), a top-ranking member of
the Agriculture Committee, told
newsmen:
"This thing has been reduced
DEPRESSION
pretty much to a political mat
ter, with the Democrats trying to
put through this Brannan thing.
"We will fight it in the full com
mittee and on the floor. You will
find Republicans pretty much to
gether in the House on continu
ing the present W0 per cent pro
gram and suspending the Aiken
law so we can have time to work
out a real program."
Hrannan has indicated he would
like to try out the "production
payment" plan first on hogs, po
tatoes and wool. The subcommit
tee banned any experimenting
with wool, milk or butterfat, but
gave him a clear field otherwise.
Under the production payments
proposal, prices of perishable
crops would be permitted to drop
to wnatever the market would
pay. Then the government would
pay subsidies to farmers to make
up the difference between the
market price and the parlty of ln
come level. This Brannan con
tended, would mean cheaper food
and a fair return for farmers.
The plan has been attacked by
some farm organizations as a
"dole".

In common with other par

activity of their sons, "Uncle

than a name to us. We had a
sincere appreciation of his in
influence for good In the Scout
world. His monthly letters in
the national magazine, Boy's
Life, were such practical, Inspir

them. There was no hint of
'"preaching" In them, rather a
man-toman, homey, humorous
way of 'talking' to the reader
that no boy would ever suspect,
In his interested reading, that he
was being "told" something of
value.
I have two letters, In an old

In his characteristic paint-brush

is no clue In them as to the rea

him clippings of The Mending

something along that line, too.

Editorial Comment
From Tht Oregon Press
Russia Doesn't Want Our Reds
Salem Capital Journal
Congressman Walter Norblad,
representing the first Oregon
District, Is reported in Washing
ton dispatches to have "called the
bluff of those In this country ad
vocating Communism" by Intro
ducing a bill providing for their
free transportation to Russia and
for the automatic cancellation of
their United States citizenship.
Under the proposed legislation,
the Stale Department would pro
vide bolh the necessary passports
and transportation to anyone
making application, and upon ar
rival :n Russia both their United
States citizenship and passport
would be automatically and per
manently terminated.
Norblad Is quoted as saying:
'Those who advocate Commun
ism should be given full and free
opportunity to reside In the coun
try whose Ideals they profess to
uphold. I have often wondered
why these people didn't go to the
land of their dreams. If it has
been the lack of funds, this should
remedy their problem and give
them the chance to prove what
thev say. It has always been my
feeling that we should not only
encourage these Communists
within our country to move to
their ideal nation but that we
should facilitate their Journey."
Norblad Ignores the fact that
no Communist seems to want to
go to Russia, except to receive
personal orders from the Krem
lin, and then he usually travels
by forged passports. And Russia
does not apparently want any of
them to remain, for they all are
sent back, demoted as Earl Brow
der was after years of faithful
service to the party firing line or
marked for ditching like William
7.. Koster, having served their
purpose.
And there Is no sign that Sla
II n wants them except to use them
at home. Big BUI Haywood got a

sents evil to anyone. They are

Thank you-for your appreciation.

Commissioner."
Surely, surely, the rose so
loved by every one can never, oh
never, "represent evil" to any
one! It can cause no distress.
How could anyone be "allergic"
to anything so beautiful? Gratl
tude for the exquisite beauty of
the rose-world could be a potent
factor In proving that there are
only "materialized love and poet
ry" In the rose! All through the
kindly Quaker's writing is
Intense love of the outdoors, an
appreciation for beauty in flower
and tree, the living waters of
river and lake and sea. And es
pecially the woods!
For years I wore with pleasure
a string of rose-petal beads. I
have not seen any for years. I
wonder why. Each jet black
bead was separated from the
next with a single tiny gold bead.
As I recall, a dlshpan of rose-
petals and some salt and patience
were the only requirements. One
kept them In a box' on cotton;
always the fragrance of the rose
greeted one when the box was
opened.

Anna Louise Strong, a faithful
penman spreading her Journalis
tic poison for many years around
the world got the bum's rush
or at least she claimed she did,
but may be only a super spy for
the Soviets. Many other qf our
Ked fanatics who reached their
Utopia were never heard of again
and either faced the firing squad
or are sojourning In Arctic slave
camps.
Americans, no matter how red,
are only, like other foreigners,
useful to Russia for doing dirty
work in their native lands and re
ceive short shift when their na
tions have been Communlzed and
Russians installed in power.
Moreover, It will be difficult to
deport these Communists, legally
I or otherwise, for they all fight
j deportation and use every pos
sible effort to remain here. The
lease of Harry Bridges is a fair
example. He probably realizes
t that he would wind up in a. Si

Toastmasters,
Famiiies Picnic
At Umpqua Park
Roseburg Toastmasters, their
wives and children picnicked at
Umpqua Park Tuesday night.
With Ross Newcomb conduct
ing the meeting, a full program
followed the cafeteria style pot
luck. '
Delbert "Stub" Parker, In
charge of table topics, asked the
members to speak on pets. Phil
Harth was toastmaster, and the
speakers Included Newcomb, Dr.
S. L. De Lapp and Bob Harvie.
The Importance of tagging fish
and the further importance of
fishermen reporting catches of
tagged fish were discussed by
Newcomb. He said too 'many
sportsmen overlook this impor
tant item, but that it is worthless
to tage the fish if catches are not
reported. Only through this
method can the released fish be
traced.
"Reminiscences" was the topic
of Harvie, who related an Inter
esting accountjOf an old-time ac
quaintance. Dr. De Lapp spoke on the
topic, "Two Good Friends" our
two feet.
"You seldom consider the com
fort of these friends," he said.
"You often allow them only brief
rest and that after they have com
plained bitterly."
He explained the architectural
structure of the human foot,
which is light in weight but amaz
ingly strong, u tends itself to
many intricate movements: It
supports and balances enormous
loads. In walking, lifting and
Jumping It carries from 100 to
1,000 times its weight. It is
arched like a bridge, yet how few
other bridges can carry even
their own weight.'
"In spite of the mistreatment
and neglect, they are still your
indispensable Irlenas, he con
cluded. "Have a heart; give the
poor feet a chance." -

There IS a chance, you see, that
this prickly issue in our national

tolerance and individual fair

WHILE you're about it, you
might contrast the tolerant
proposal of this Southern woman
with what happened in St. Louis
the other day.
A new swimming pool had just
been opened In a city park. In
St. Louis, segregation has been
the custom alomst as long as
there has been a city there. But
BY LAW segregation was for

estimated crowd of between 4,000

them seriously. Feeling Is still
running high, and police forces
have been doubled to prevent new
outbreaks.
The mayor, frightened by what
happened, rescinded the non
segregation order.
LET'S put It this way:
In St. Louis, an attempt to
cure by law RIGHT NOW an an
cient evil that can be cured perma

Britain To Purchase U. S.
Lumber With ECA Funds
WASHINGTON, June 24. .T)
Rep. Mack (R.-Wash.) said
Thursday he has been advised
that American producers will get
orders for 45,000.000 to 55,000.000
board feet of lir lumber from
Great Britain.
Mack said his source was "re
liable" but that he couldn't
identify it. He told a reporter
his information Is that the Bri
tish program calls for 120,000,000
board teet of the lumber of
which 75,000,000 will come from
Canada. He said the British
found bids were lower than ex
pected and may increase their
order to l3U,uou,uuu board feet.
The British order for American
lumber. Mack said, is the result
of insistence by the ECA that
the British give American pro
ducers a chance to bid on lumber
needed by the United Kingdom.
