SURE WE'RE BRAGGING
Bv CHARLES V. 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!

Tell me something:
Do you have any faith in the

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

Or does it incline you to vote

Conventional Charge Fires
Gun Shooting Atomic Shells
N By ELTON C. 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,

Agee's Retirement
Met With Reluctance
REEDSPORT I note by in
article in The News-Review that
Roy Agce has declared he ' will
neither seek nomination or elec
tion for the office of county clerk
of Douglas County at the next
primary and general elections.
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.
