. LAUDABLE ENTERPRISE
-r-' ;, Charles V. Stanton
We' had the extreme i)lea8ure over the weekend of visit
ing, the liew plant of the Myrtle Creek Mail.
, ;.$lr.,ajid Mrs, Hul Schiltz, who publish the weekly news
paper in our neighboring town should be extremely proud
of their achievement. The community should appreciate
the efforts the publishers are making to be of better service
to their area. .
The Myrtle Creek Mail now is housed in an attractive
one-story cajicrete block building of modernistic style. It
is a highly 'functional. huilding. It was erected only after
long study. Every inch ofVpace was planned for efficiency
and convenience:-- Into the plans went many inovations.
,:, llr. Schiltz, for instance, designed a makeup table which
he had manufactured in Myrtle Creek. In addition to the
usual features of the standard makeup stone, Schiltz has in
corporated sections for material, trays, etc., so that a work
man has minimum travel. . Much ingenuity is shown in use
of plywood, one of Myrtle Creeks principal products, for
guards around all exposed moving machinery. The shop ar
rangement is conducive to the most efficient production. As
an added feature, machinery and furniture, instead of bear
ing the drab colors usually found in a printing plant, have
been decorated in light tones which put life and warmth into
the well-lighted shop. '
The only incongruous feature we could observe was the
newa davenport in the editor's beautifully appointed office.
We'll' ; admit it is a swell idea, but we . doubt if
Hal.iihds time to use it. i
Confidence In Community
'0rhe fact that the Myrtle Creek publishers have invested
so heavily in new plant and equipment is indicative of their
confidence in the future of their community a confidence
we feel is not misplaced. .
Any newspaperman well knows the risk they have tak
en. Newspaper profits are not what they used to be. Wages
have gone up and up.,: Everything a newspaper buys has
advanced time and again. Production costs have soared.
Yet, advertising charges and subscription rates, from which
a newspaper derives its income, have made only moderate
advance. -Newsprint, the paper upon which a newspaper is
printed, is now being boosted in price again.
Scarcely a week goes by without news of some newspa
per somewhere being forced to suspend publication because
ol the squeeze between cost and Income. Last week, for in
stance,' the Cincinnati Enquirer, one of the nation's prom
inent newspapers, was sola to a group or employes, who
will attempt to keep it going on a co-operative basis.
In the face of such conditions it is a real inspiration to
nnd publishers willing to take the risks Mr. and Mrs. Schiltz
have assumed in expanding their business at Myrtle Creek.
Their confidence is further demonstrated by the fact that
they have purchased sufficient property to permit expansion
of their operation in future years.
Future Growth Is Assured
.--'.''
They have seen their newspaper grow rapidly, through
their own enterprise and through the boom growth of the
South TJmpnua area. This rrrnwth.
started. The vast timber resource of that section of the
cou.iuy, p,ug avaiinnmty of Industrial sites, should lead to
far bigger things in the timber industry. In prospect also
is development of the chrome deposits of the Riddle region,
where .plans for ejection of a smelter are proceeding rapid
ly, ilie South Douglas, region is rich in minerals and we
may soon see a revival of mining in that section. 1

imuuoiiuin who iiui imiy scrvea an aouncinnce or refresh

And, as might be expected, they had the hendache nor
mally experienced when anyone tries to show off. Right in
the middle of the weekly press run a tooth broke from the
drive pinion and stripped the drive mechanism. The forms
were rushed to the plant of the Coquille Valley Sentinel,
where the week's edition was run off on a similar press.

Dana and Cinser Lamb started
out on their "Quest for the Lost

tultlvely felt she needed aa they
irkvciea. uui wnen me lime crca-
by critizing me in her syndicated
column, and taking issue with
some things I wrote about the
United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organiza
tion. This was as reassuring at
it was flattering. If Mrs. Roose
velt is on the other side, it is
proof positive I must be right.
She certainly doesn't know what
she is talking about Insofar as
UNESCO is concerned. That I
will demonstrate to your com
plete satisfaction in this space In
the days to come. Right now I'll
demonstrate that she doesn't know
what she is talking about on other
subjects.
On August IS, 1948, Mrs. Roose
velt came up with this foolish
ness about Alger Hiss. She was
talking about the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities:
"I disapprove very much of the
way in which these legislative
committees work. Smearing good
people like Lauchlin Currie, Alger
Hiss, and others, is, I think, un
forgivable. Anyone knowing either
Mr. Currie or Mr. Hiss, who are
the two I happen to know fairly
well, would not need any denial
on their part to know they are
not Communists."
Hiss, as you all know, indulged
in sufficient treason during his
formative days with Mrs. Roose
velt's New Deal to sack him away
in a federal penitentiary for five
years.
Currie, White House creep with
a fondness for Communist friends,
has never answered sufficiently
the accusations by Eliiabcth Bent
ley that he also indulged in hand
ing out secrets to the Soviet
Union.
Later on, when the evident n
me second Hiss trial could not
be ignored and a jury m ,1,,.,.
Hoosevelt's peers labeled her
friend guilty, there was a slight
sum in empnasis. in fact, she
was backtracking, although she
still insisted that hpran h
doubted his guilt, the jury should
have also. She said:
It is a verv riifripnlf Mtl in
know what to think. I never once
heard Hiss say anything that
would even approve the id-a that
he was a Communist. I feel that
he may have perjured himself,
but I don t feel he ever sold anv
secret paritrs. It's a verv sad
case."
So is Mrs. Roosevelt Illc. AU;

Elisabeth Bcntley was another
subject of one of Mrs. Roosevelt's
"factual" accounts of the nation's
fight to rid itself of Soviet agents.
Her story of espionage was term
ed, on August 4, 1948, "the fan
tastic story of this evidently
neurotic lady." Miss Bently is tes
tifying now before a federal grand
jury in New York. She has testi
fied at numerous government loy
alty hearings and at court trials.
Grand jurors, court juries and
committees of Congress continue
to place great credence in her
story. So docs the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. But Mrs. Roose
velt can't face facts. She wrote:
"In the future, I should think
it might be difficult for her (Bent
ley) to find any acquaintance who
would be willing to say 'good mor
ning' and 'good evening' to her.
That might be construed as a
means to involve them in some
new and fantastic trial."
Good morning, Miss Bentley.
Agnes - Smedley and William
Remington are two others who
have been blessed with Mrs. Roo
sevelt's tears. She squeaked with
joy when the War Department
lost Its nerve and cleared Smed
ley after Gen. Douglas MacArth
ur's intelligence chief, Maj. Gen.
Willoughby, had tagged ' Smedley
as a Soviet agent.
Not a sound was heard, how
ever, when Smedley died and
her ashes and her estate to the
Chinese Communist general uo
is directing the attacks against
American troops in Korea.
Remington was convicted of ly
ing about his Communist party
affiliations. (His conviction was
reversed and he is now awaiting
another trial.) Mrs. Roosevelt de
plored the fact that any young
man foolish enough to belong to
"one or two radical organizations
in his youth" had to be fired from
the public payroll. The Communist
Party is an organization dedicated
to the overthrow of the U. S.
government by force and violence.
That's not opinion. That's fact.

him that too much power held In
too few hands too long is disastrous
to the rights of the people.
He believes that inflation, which
amounts merely to kidding our
selves about the relationships of
money and property, is a cruel
delusion. He knows that the power
to tax is the POWER TO DE
STROY, and he knows that "elim
ination of waste, duplication
and extravagance" Is the only wa;
to keep taxes reasonable.
He knows that CONCENTRA
TION of power is dangerous, es
pecially when it is concentrated at
a point remote from the masses of
the people, and he believes that if
concentration of power is to be
broken up as much of government
as is possible must be brought
back to the state houses, the court
houses and the city halls.
He knows that if the confidence
of the people is to be held by the
leaders of the people the people
must be told simply and truthfully,
without evasion, equivocation or
mental reservation, what is going
on.
That is the kind of man Ike's
speech at Abilene revealed him to
be. That is the kind of man 1 turn
we need as our leader NOW.
Reactions to his speech weren't
all favorable. What he said
brought from Representative Car
roll Reece, of Tennessee (who has
been responsible for a lot of the
things that have been wrong with
the leadership of the Republican
party) this cynical crack:
"It looks like he's pretty much
for Mother, home and heaven."
That Is all right with me. Afler
what has been going on in this
country too long, we can use a lot
more of Mother, home and heaven
without suffering any harm.

tea speeches. I grant that great
actors are great men. But actors
and1 leaders of whole peoples have
different jobs. An actor's job is to
be a perfect mirror for someone
else. By his personality, by his
voice, by his mannerisms he gives
life to what SOME OTHER MAN
has thought and said.
When the great leader of a great
people speaks, he must SPEAK
FOR HIMSELF if bis words are to
put fire and faith into his follow
ers. I just can't believe that can
be done by somebody who is mere
ly mouthing wards that have been
written by somebody else.
It Isn't my job here to tell what
Ike said. Thanks to the amazing
perfection of modern communica
tions everybody has already
heard what he said, or has resd it.
All I'm trying to do is to describe
the effect it had on me.
Its effect was to restore my
morale. It restored my morale,
I'm sure, because it restored my
faith. It is TRUE that faith can
move mountains.
To those of ns who believe in Ike
and who are FOR him because we
believe in him, his speech to the
home folks in Abilene brought no
surprise. It revealed him as just
the kind of man w thought he is.
He believes, for example, that
one party has been in power tot
long. Sound educational training
and wide experience have taught
when I say It as such.
But Mrs. Roosevelt has yet to
admit she didn't know what she
was talking about when she babb
led about Remington's innocence.
So you can buy what she has to
sell about UNESCO if you want
to. I'll take the facts as they
stand on the record.
