ONE READER TO ANOTHER
By CHARLES V. STANTON
One enjoyable feature of an editor's vacation is that he
has opportunity to read a newspaper in a normal manner
as if he were a paid subscriber.
When we are on the job we seldom actually "read" the
paper.
As we scan one of the first copies off the press cur mind
is not absorbed with the import of the news but rather with
the manner of its presentation. We read to determine w heth
er news has been prepared properly, whether it could have
been more effectively edited, whether it is given the right
sort of headlines, whether it is fully appropriate.
We have in mind the matter of make-up. We shudder at
typographical errors. We look for mechanical mistakes. We
succeed in absorbing a limited amount of information, but
our reading is neither relaxed nor thorough.
But while on vacation we read the hometown paper avidly.
We actually seek news. Although we casually observe errors,
they do not register their usual impact because, for the
time being, there is nothing we can do about them.
It is during such periods that we gain better appreciation
of the service a hometown newspaper gives its readers.
We were exceedingly happy, therefore, to read last week
of the words of commendation received by The News-Review
during the annual observance of Newspaper Week. We were
extremely grateful for the public tribute paid by the Rose
burg Elks lodge and the kind words from Mayor Albert
Flegel and officers of the lodge.
A newspaper, naturally, appreciates words of commenda-
dation. Readers of The Newt-Review have been very kind
in telling us frequently of their appreciation of the paper
and its service. H is indeed gratifying to receive a pat on
the back occasionally.

becoming more imminent with

Due to our vacation period coming during Newspaper
Week, we missed the opportunity to comment on that event.
Perhaps it is just as well, for readers might have be
come bored with such discussion.
We feel, however, that too few people actually realize
how much a newspaper gives them for so little money.
If, for instance, you were to receive a telegram contain

Here, I think, Is the answer:
WE HAVEN'T YET LEARNED
THE TRICK OF GETTING
ALONG WITH EACH OTHER.
on today's front page just one item it would cost you
considerably more than an entire month's newspaper sub
scription. Yet in today's issue of The News-Review you are
furnished with telegrams from every part of the world
messages that would cost you thousands of dollars if col
lected individually.
If you were to receive a daily letter from a friend, relat
ing the happenings that came within his limited knowledge,
the postage alone would approximate the monthly subscrip
tion price of The News-Review.
Your friend, even though he might be one of those per
sons with access to all the town gossip, couldn't begin to
furnish you the local new collected daily by a staff of
trained and experienced reporters who chronicle for you
the community's current events.
If bur advertisers had to contact you through the mails,
or with circulars to your doorstep, you would receive such
a conglomeration of material that you would soon begin to
protest The advertiser would pay many times the amount
of his newspaper space bill, and would have far less favor
able readership reaction.
The newspaper affords the advertiser an opportunity to
present to you his information, news and sales appeal in
a form attractive to you, at a time most suiting your own
convenience, and in a style you have learned through usage
to appreciate.
Much could be said about the place of the newspaper in
providing information and education and how it serves to
keep the American people among the best informed in the
world,' or how freedom of speech and the treatment of con
troversal subjects by free and open discussion contribute to
the welfare of the nation. But these are subjects with which
everyone is familiar, if he will but stop to consider them.
As a "vacation reader" we were able, during National
Newspaper Week, to gain a little better appreciation of
newspaper service, because we laid aside for a short time
the matter of editorial and mechanical detail. We feel that
the newspaper is performing a service which, while ap
preciated, often fails to receive full credit for its contri.
bution to public welfare.

Current Legal Length Of
Trout Cited To Anglers
ROSEBURG The picture of a
thrilled and happy boy holding a
salmon half as long as himself,
published in The News Review
Wednesday. Oct. 5, Is truly satis
fying. Tha't lad is well on his way
to becoming an ardent sports
man, if Indeed he is not one al
ready. The last line of the explanation
under the picture Indicated, how
ever, that someone (perhaps the
photographer! Is not tnoroughlv
versed In the angling regulations,
since reference was made to a
ten-inch salmon trout caught by
the man who accompanied the
successful salmon angler.
In the hope of clarifying the
regulations and causing all an
glers to become familiar with
them I would like to point out
that the winter angling rules for
the Umpqua drainage permit the
taking of two fish a day over 11
Inches In length, but not more
than four such fish in any seven
consecutive days In the following
named waters: main Umpqua. in
cluding tidewater: North Ump
qua. below The Narrows at Kock
creek pool; South Umpqua. be
low Jackson creek; Calainwia
and Elk creeks below Highway
!! crossing, and Mill creek.
This regulation has been Insti
gated to help salmon and steel
head anglers avoid unnecessary
waste of fish should they acci
dentally hook small fish. It was
not designed to encourage an
gling for trout during the winter
season.

HIS, he asserts, Is the basic rule
for getting along with people:
"Think, act and speak In terms
of the other person's Interests."
Then he adds:
"Another way of saying It Is
'seek what you want WITHIN
THE FRAMEWORK OF WHAT
OTHERS WANT AND THINK.'
This philosophy holds that there
need be no Irreconcilable conflict
of Interests between buyer and
seller or between employer and
employee."
THEN he puts on this cap sheaf:
YOU DON'T NECESSARILY
HAVE TO OBTAIN SOME
THING BY TAKING IT AWAY
FROM ANOTHER PERSON.
I that this philosophy Is derived
from the Golden Rule. This is the
Golden Rule: "Do ye unto others
as ye would that others shall do
unto you."
If that rule were followed by
all of us, EVERYBODY would be

Boy Scout adventuring over the
hills about forty miles from Port
Orford, Is going to come across
a mass of queer-looking stone.
Like as not he will happen to
tell his teacher about it, and the
science teacher will recall the
"Lost Meteor" and well, you
finish the pleasant thought as
you like. I'll settle for a fund
for the boy's education?
In some material recently re
ceived from Dr. J. Hugh Pruett,
the U. of O. extension astronomer
(no, I'm not taking a course in
that. Dr. Pruett makes It sound
very Interesting but stars are way
over my head . . .) I was read
ing about the Lost Meteor. It
seems that scientists have been
hunting ever since 1895 for the
meteor, of which pieces speci
mens, I mean were sent to the
east coast by Dr. John Evans.
An expedition set out to transfer
the mess of which "fully 10,000
kilograms was exposed." But be
fore they could reach their ob
jective, Dr. Evans, a government
geologist, had departed from this
present experience without leav
ing a record of the exact loca
tion. Ninety years ago Dr. Evans
said he found the meteor on a
grassy slope on a bald mountain
forty miles from Port Orford."
Of course, says Dr. Pruett,
debris may have washed down
over the site, burying it; or trees
may have covered it; on the
other hand, it may be even more
exposed. Anyhow, if you happen
to beat the Boy Scout of my fan
cy to the finding of the Lost
Meteor there will be a lot of
very pleased scientists.
