STANTON We wonder how many people who support a Columbia Valley authority project would accept the same type of management for their own businesses. Would Joe Doakes, as the owner of the Doakea Hard ware company, permit the mayor of the town to appoint three political henchmen to run his store, knowing lull well that the three men would be selected for their political value to the mayor rather than their ability to run a hard ware store? Sounds silly, doesn't it? Yet, isn't that exactly what we propose to do under CVA? Several Oregon cities have changed from council to man ager form of government in recent years. Kath city, before making the change, was extremely careful to safeguard representative government. Ordinances delegating authority to city managers preserve policy making in the hands of councils or commissions and contain provisions whereby managers may be removed from their positions with the least possible fuss whenever such action is justified. How many cities would have a manager if the law pro vided that the manager was to be appointed by the governor of the state, who also would appoint the council or com missioners? The governor, we could be sure, would pay off political debts by such appointments. His appointees would be named because of their service to the governor or the political party rather than for their ability in city administration. Who Would Manage CVA? No individual would permit his business to be man In the Day's News (Continued from Cage Onel OX'S. It's too grim. So let's get over on the lighter lide. r 'mm l by VuJuutt S. Martini "Tick's" Tips On Veterans Hospital By L. J. "Tick" Malarkey Last Monday in the hustle and hurry to get things packed (or a cruiae down stream there simply wasn't time to get really ac quainted wiU. tho two Red Cross girls who were with us that day. Called the News-Review and told Warren Mack that the "top brass" were among us and that in "Pri vate M's" opinion a picture (or tho paper would be a fine idea. "O. K." said Warren. So Milton "Micky" Hard with his camera, got on the balls of his feet and by this "pecking" no doubt five lovely ladiea have smiled at our readers from the sheets of this paper. Just briefly did your Old Reporter get to bat the breeze be cause Barbara Phinney and Alice frail were being double timed throughout every department of Roseburi VA hospital. Marion W arson who has aucceeded Mary ana Peterson was doing the honors with the helD of everv department head. Barbara Phinney ia with the Red Cross stationed in Washington, D. C. Alice Prall works directly under Barbara's supervision out of the San Krancisco office. Veterans hos pitals is their field and speciality. Official titles this writer doesn't worry over. All he knows is what he saw in short the girl from Washington and the girl from San Francisco have what it takes. They know their way around; they have been at their profession for quite a spell. They understand the many problems of a disabled veteran. They get along fine with em. Please pardon the personal refer ence, ln a scrap book at home are the letters received from each of our three sons while they were overseas in this last Big Parade and Argument. From son Donald, while he was in England before the luist Airborne dropped into Normandy, is a letter. A auote fol lows : "Dad. I don't know what we would do without the Red Cross over here. They do everything lor us." The date of this letter is just before Christmas 1943. Sounds that this may be malarkey because of the fact that there is a membershiD drive, on. The quotes are just as Donald wrote them they are gos pel truth. THAT'S MY ANSWIR' MUNCIE, Ind.-i.W When Sher iff W.

School consolidations are difficult to obtain because even in school districts the people want control in their own hands. Yet we find many people beating the drums today in favor of a river valley administration, dictatorially con trolled by a three-man board to be appointed by the President. Who would the President appoint? We may be sure that appointments would reward party henchmen for their good and faithful service.

(The italics are ours.) Nowhere does the act require that a director shall have any knowledge of business, conservation, engineering, eco nomics, political science, or any other subject. The prin cipal qualification is that he subscribe to the socialistic, or communistic, purpose of the CVA act. Good Business Judgment Required The Pacific Northwest is an empire within Itself. Its natural resources contain potential wealth virtually un equalled in the world. Development of these resources de mands the utmost business acumen and judgment.
