STANTON Only a few days ago Lloyd Stutsman, News-Review dis play advertising manager, and his crew of salesmen, were working like crazy. The Christmas advertising demand had them rushing p.round liKe ants in a damaged hill, working long hours of overtime. Now they're just as busily and frantical'y combing their list of advertisers trying to sell enough display space to make The Newt-Review look like a newspaDer. Within a tew more weeks the merchants, now too busy to even think about advertising copy, will suddenly realize that the Spring Opening dates are at hand and will start pouring the heat on Stutsman and his crew, and it will be Christmas all over again. Selling advertising is just like eating bacon, eggs and toast you can never get it to come out even. These are the days of newspaper doldrums, the .days dreaded by management and workers alike. It is the same every year When the Christmas rush is over, advertising slacks off and the newspapei business hits the skids. Merchants are busy with inventory, annual reports, tax returns, tpring buying, year-end clearances and hundreds of other tents Buyers, having spent heavily for Christmas, are purcnasing only essentials. So, for a few weeks after the start ot the year, newspaper advertising drops off. Then comes a resurgence as the spring season gets underway. The advertising salesmen, who have exhausted themselves with futile solicitation, are swamped by a rush of business. Good Year li Anticipated The year ' 1951 whs a good year for your newspaper. The News-Review can claim no large or startling profits, but it weathered a lot of trouble, overcame shortages, con tinued to lead all Oregon newspapers of its class in advertis ing and limitation gains, added to its nvrhnnioal en"' ent, extended advertising service, Increased motor delivery routes, added to and improved its news and ieature serviced, and made other advance, in the way of service to readers and advertisers. We anticipate that 10152 will continue problems result ing from newsprint, equipment, materials and personnel shortages. We still will be plagued with rising costs. But we expect business to remain at a high level. Election year normally :n a ?ood year lor industry and business. News paper services are essential in maintaining business ac tivity. I he News-Review is prepared to give those serviees. The News-Review hr.s anticipated the newspaper needs or the community. We have built a plant capable of haa dlinjr a business volume many years in advance of need. We have steHdily increased our facilities for composition and press work, more type feces for use by advertisers, im proved facilities for news handling. Teletypesettert Speed News An example of how The News-Review has anticipated community growth is found in introduction of Tcletypesetter processes in 1949. Until recently only The News-Review and our sister paper. The. Herald & News at Klamath Kails, had Telptypesetter equipment. Now, as we had antici pated, The Associated Press has set up a TTS wire serving 34 papers in the Parific Northwest. Only three Oregon members are equipped at present to handle the A.P. tape, Grants Piiss having recently purchased the necessary ma chinery. Other members are equipping their plants as rap idly as machines become available. Our readers well know that we have at all times had great confidence in the continued growth and expansion of this community. In fact, we've had critics tell us we are much too optimistic. So far we have had no reason to allow our optimism to diminish. We expect Douglas County to continue growing. We want to be able to serve the county as it grows. For that reason we intend to keep ahead of anticipated growth. Jf you think we're bragging, you're right; we are!

Someone just said that the men in the woods below Elkton "were driven out today (Friday) by deep snow and there is maybe four inches on the level on the highway." I was amazed not a flake of snow here. Oh, up on the ridges of the hills acro.ss the Elk I can see snow, but lower down, none. Many a time when 38 was our favorite drive, but not our home road, we havo noted rain on one side of the tunnel and dry as a bone on the olher. Our home is on the side of a natural bowl, for the highway comes arounn a long point or land just ociore it reaches our place.

Although we are in a kind of Irregular bowl, I can enjoy a wide expanse of sky with my little star map; and how much satisfaction there is for me in tne mists that swirl over the hills across the Elk.

The Republicans collected $679,157 and disbursed $584,473 a net gain for the year of $04,684. ' One can at least argue from those figures that the Republicans are BETTER BUSINESS MANAGERS than the Democrats and the Lord knows that in these days we need better business management in Washington. Tell me something: Do you have any faith in the federal corrupt practices act as an efficient tool in preventing the spending of too much money in political campaigns? I don't either. Toll me something else: When you hav e the feeling that some candidate is spending too much money to get the office he's gunning for, how do you feel about it? Does his over-spending influence you to vote for him? Or does it incline you to vote against him? I'm pretty sure my inclination, everything else being equal, is to vote against spender. " the too heavy I think that's the way it should be. If the idea gets around that spending too much money to get an office is a. good way to GET DEFEATED, there will be fewer candidates who will spend too much.'

If we all voted more intelligently, we would have cleaner and better government Here's a new figure I just ran into. It interests me. Oregon pays total taxes TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT of about 511 million dollars, which amounts to about $335 per person for us who live in Oregon. Oregon gets back from the fed eral government in FEDERAL GRANTS AND AIDS (which in cludes the bulk of what we loosely term boondoggling; about 54 mil lion dollars, or some $35 per per son The moral: If we're going to boondoggle we'd better DO OUR OWN BOON DOGGLING, instead of asking the federal government to do it for us. It would be cheaper. double that bore might bring the complete weapon assembly up to a weight of approximately 60 tons. But 60 ton tanks are considered by some military men as practical for battlefield use, The maximum effective range of a 240 mm howitzer Is 25,255 yards (about 14 miles), ample to get the dangerous explosion area of an atomic burst well away from friendly troop positions.

FAY AP Military Affairs Reporter WASHINGTON (AP) The artillery gun for shooting atomic shells may be fired with a conventional propelling charge like any big caliber gun. No nuclear explosive is needed to throw the missile at the target. And a mojor problem in the de sign of the weapon, a model of which was shown to the joint Con gressional committee on atomic e -crgy Friday, probably has been to hold the weight of the gun down to a point where it is practical for battlefield use. If the words used by Chairman McMahon (D-Conn.) of the com mittee were used advisedly, the new weapon appears to be a gun instead of a rocket launching de vice. He described it, in talking to reporters, as an "artillery gun" designed to handle atomic shell A weapon used tactically on a war front could not need unusual range, only enough to hit enemy tram positions, field fortifications or concentration points close be hind the lines. The huge power of an atomic explosion thus would not be required to propel the atom ic charged shell from the gun. Has Bten Tested Gen. J. I.awton Collins, Army chief of staff, said in a radio in terview last month that artillery capable of firing atomic missiles has been tested. He said that did not mean "it has been tested as an atomic weapon; it doesn't have to be." That seemed to point pretty def initely toward the idea that the model which Congressmen saw Fri day probably was not too radical in design, except perhaps for the bore and length of its tube. While the packaged size of atom ic explosives has been reduced considerably since the days of the Hiroshima atomic bomb, it is doubtful that the diameter of the package still could be fitted to standard existing weapons. Creates Bulky Gun The biggest mobile gun used by the army is the 240 millimeter howitzer. That is a bore of slightly under 10 inches. A caliber of even double that size would create a hefty weapon for easy mobility on a battlcifle, although not an Im possible weight. A 240 millimeter howitzer weighs 25,000 pounds, the carriage for moving it about 39,000 pounds. To infiltration for the past 25 years, Yet, the Department's Loyalty Board has yet to find a disloyal employee. In viev of the Alger Hiss case, and others almost as bad, It is no wonder the Loyalty Review Board is bemused by the State Department's perfect record. As a board member pointed out. oust the Reds, Board Member Hoag wrapped ; up current bewilderment over the State Department's attitude when 1 be said: "A s far as the State Department Is concerned, I don't understand board members even defend what few Reds they Uave caught.

This decision, reached after a long and honorable isrvica to the peo ple of Douglas County, will be greeted with sad reluctance by the voters, both Republican and Democrat. Roy, during his occupancy of the office, has been both courteous and efficient. As a personal friend of the clerk of many years stand ing, I can truly say as a voting Republican that he is the only Democrat I ever supported in my 43 years of voting that has jus tified my support of a Demo crat. When Roy retires from active service to Douglas County, it will be the first time in many, many years, that there has not been an Agee in some official capacity in our courthouse. As nearly as I can remember, the first was Ben Agee, who was elected sheriff. Then followed Zo pher Agee, elected countv c'rk after serving as deputy clerk. Roy then entered the service as a dep uty clerk and was later elected clerk in his won riht with such efficiency that when he presented his name to the voters, he was an easy victor in the general elec tion and time after time since has been returned to the office by popular vote. All these Agees have bean avowed Democrats and each was elected time after time to office in a county that was overwhelm ingly Republican. It seems strange that when the balance of voting power is changing more and more toward the Democratic party, the name of Agee is being retired. , It will indeed seem strange to enter the voting booth next elec tion and. when scanning the list of candidates, find the name of Agce lackine.

We've been arguing with them since the program started." At this point Garrett S. Hoag, another . Review Board member, chimed in: "That brings up a question that has been on my mind a little, and I have been accused a few timet in connection with it. I have been disturbed about the Stats Department their remark able record of never having fired anybody for loyalty . and yet we do nothing about It as far as the boarti is concerned. It seems to me we assume some responsibility when we sit back for three years and know that the country rests in a false sense of security that we are looking after there interests here when we know darn well that it is completely ineffective in one of the most important gov ernment agencies (State Depart ment) and I wonder whether we ought to say anything to anybody about it" Chairman Hiram Bingham, n the Loyalty Review Board, said he had approached Secretary of State Dean Acheson on the subject, and added: "I called his attention to the fact that his board was out of step with all other agency boards," Bingham said.
