CENTENNIAL ADVERTISING
By Charles V. Stanton
Oregon's centennial celebration thin year is receiving"
widespread publicity and advertisini?. The outlook is that
we will entertain great thronus of visitors. Each commun
ity, it seems to me, has an exceptional opportunity to play
host. Anion those best situated for this purpose is Doug
las County. DoiiR-la County's Fairgrounds are located ad
joining the Pacific Highway. Every visitor who drives
Highway 99 will see Douglas County's invitation, provided
we have something with which to stop the people who go
through.
That people will be going through is indicated by the
advertising program now in progress.
Roseburg, of course, is headquarters for the old wagon
train that is expected to be one of the centennial features.
It will start from Independence, Mo., and will follow the
old Oregon Trail as closely as possible.
Another of the unusual advertising features is to be
found in the March issue of Holiday magazine.
The advertisement, sponsored by the Oregon Travel and
Information Department, cuvers three full pages. One page
is descriptive of the centennial and the state as a whole,
with attention to many of the outstanding entertainments,
the other is a fold-out, two-page illustrated invitation, with
pictures of many Oregon scenes.
An exceptionally fine piece of publicity is found in the
current issue of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Co.'s
monthly magazine.
It sketches the history of Oregon, tells of pioneer pat
terns, and contains a number of pictures dealing with Ore
gon industries and personalities.
Altogether, Oregon's centennial promises to be a great
event. Douglas County is particularly well situated to take
advantage of this event, now being widely exploited by dis
tinctive advertising. The county will have one of the big
gest and best displays at the centennial in Portland, but
we need something here at home to back it up.
THE PEOPLE CAN DO IT
" The City of Roseburg has entered upon a strict auster
ity program. In fact, I fear we are cutting back so far
that the cost, in the long run, will be expensive. There is
such a thing as too much austerity, I fear.
. On the other hand, Roseburg's do-it-yourself campaign
should prove something to those people who believe big gov
ernment is necessary,
All over the country today the trend seems to be to
dump more and more business into the hands of big gov
ernment. We want government, at all levels, to do things
for us.
But Roseburg has reached the point it can't do a lot of
things it has done in past years.
One example is the park fund. Surely we'll have some
money for parks and recreation, but it won't be nearly as
much money as we once had.
But we find the Umpqua Lions Club ready to take hold
and do some work that needs doing. Other groups have
volunteered labor. A plan is afoot whereby each service
club will assume one or more volunteer tasks.
If we can do these things for ourselves, why should we
have to dig up good money for taxes?
The City of Drain built a living war memorial, a city
hall, put in a sewer system and is engaged in a street dec
orating job. All of those projects cost a minimum of mon
ey. Labor was donated.
But the people of Drain could have waited for the city
government to do those things for them. But they didn't!
Here in Roseburg we can and will do without things unless
we shake a leg and do things for ourselves. If we can
do things, the question arises, why should government do
the things for us we are able to do for ourselves?

Editorial Comment
THB OTHER SIDI
Bend Bulletin
In an editorial titled "Call for
Fair Play" The Oregonian recently
implied that the governor's office
is involved in the recent firing of
Cecil Edwards as chief steward of
the Oregon Racing Commission.
This may be so, of course. But,
given the same set of facta that
were available to the Portland dai
ly, it Is easy to come up with com
pletely different answers.
The original charge that Gover
nor Hatfield was instrumental in
his removal was made by Ed
wards. Yet Edwards was fired by the
State Racing Commission, not by
the governor. And only one of the
five members of the present com
mission was appointed by the pres
ent governor. It's hard to imsgine
the other four being so gutless and
so dominated by a new governor
who did not appoint them that they
fired their chief employe merely
because ha and the governor don't
get along.
There is stlU another side to ths
story.
Edwards probably is as well
known in the state as a lobbyist
for horse and dog raring Interests
as he is as chief steward of the
Raring Commission.
For a few months each year he
Is hlredsby the Racing Commission
to oversee the same horse and dog
owners. Then for a few other
months each year or two he is paid
by the same horse and dog inter
ests he supervises.
No one, so far as we know, has
questioned Edward's ability to
wear two hats successfully, or his
Integrity. Attorney General opin
ions have held this dual practice
to he legal in the past.
Undoubtedly, without court de
termination, it is legal.
But it seems to be darned poor
public policy. It would be like
having a man prepare your income
tax returna in the evening and
work In the daytime for the Inter
nal Revenue Service, auditing those
same returns. This would be a good
deal for you, but darned poor for
the rest of the taxpayers.

Lenten
Devotions
Text: Mark ?: 30-50
This chapter begins with the ac
count of the transfiguration which
three of the disciples witnessed.
Coming down the mountain the
Lord spoke concerning his death
and resurrection. When they re
joined the other disciples the Lord
demonstrated his power over evil
in the healing of a child.
As they continued on their way
he again talked to them concern
ing his betrayal and victory over
death. "But they understood not
that saying and were afraid to
ask." One wonders why. Was it
because they were ashamed of
their ignorance, or were they
afraid because of the awesomeness
of eternity?
It is easy to believe that carnal
pride was the main reason be
cause they failed to see the pur
pose of these unusual experiences
and disputed among themselves
who should be the greatest. Plac
ing a child In their midst, the Lord
taught that spiritual greatness is
in sincerity and simplicity like that
of a child who without worldy am
bition or lust for power accepts
the "thus saith the Lord" with
complete trust and obedience.
Great is the woe that shall come
upon anyone who would do or say
nything to destroy a child's faith
in V:ius the Christ.
Denominationalism Is a natural
consequence of Christian activity
in the many and various places
where Christ has been preached
since the great commission. Church
loyalty is necessary for organized
effort and financial support of evan
gelization at home and abroad.
Sectarianism Is quite another thing.
No group has a corner on the gos
pel. God's plan for redemption an
tedates any church organization
now existent.
The lord's solemn warning is
directed at the need for discipline
and self control, as evidence that
we choose to serve Him. Deliber
ate exercise of our will to lay
aside every weight and the sin
that doth so easily beset us will
help us to avoid the tragedy of be
ing savorless salt that has the ap
pearance of salt but lacks season
ing and preserving qualities.
Jesus said, "Ye are the salt of
the earth." "Have salt in your
selves, and have peace one with
another.

Life Made Too Easy
For New Generation
NEW YORK (AP) Socrates,
reputed the wisest man of anti
quity, was given a Hemlock cup
for corrupting the youth of Athens.
Yet all he did was ask them
questions designed to help them
think for themselves.
In every period of history some
one is accused of leading the
young folks astray by giving them
false ideas. Who today should be
handed the lethal cup of hemlock?
Who is spoiling the present
younger generation? That is, if
we go along with the always pop
ular generalization that the cur
rent crop of youngsters is the
brattiest, the most irresponsible
bunch of smart alecs ever to sor
row and sully a hopeful time.
If anything is spoiling the
younger generation today it is the
generation that preceded it our
own. If anything is setting them
a bad example, it is us. If they
are lax, it is because we have
been lax with them.
Parents Draw Blame
The biggest culprits are prob
ably middle-class parents, by far
the largest class in America. The
poor don't have the money to
spoil their young; the rich, by and
large, can afford to but usually
don't. Children born to wealth
generally learn its value young.
It's the self-made man who
started from nothing and strug

Recently we dined at the home
of such a man. During the meal
he reminisced about how much
tougher life was when he was a
boy.
"Yeah, popsy." jeered his 18-year-old
son. "Tell us again how
you used to have to swim three
miles each way to school every
day."
Later, when we were alone, the
father remarked rather wryly on
his son s lack of appreciation.
Son Gets Allowances
"I had to quit college after two
years to help qut my family," he
said. "But my son has never had
to work a day in his life. I give
him a good allowance, he has his
own car. I couldn't afford to join
a fraternity. He belongs to the
best one on his campus.
"But with aU his advantages,
he isn't paying any attention to
his studies. I'm afraid he's going
to flunk out. And that'll break his
mother's heart."
Asked why he didn't make his
son earn at least part of his way.
he said: "Well, 1 want life for
him to be easier than it was for
me. I think I missed a lot by
having to work too hard, too
young."
Isn't the biggest sin most middle-class
parents are visiting on
their children today the sin of try
ing to make life too easy for

Saulnier said the economic re
covery was faster than expected
due to the resilience of the econ
omy and governmental policies.
He said that the government had
not moved in with massive pub
lic works programs or large tax
reductions.
He said the recovery movement
started eight months ago and that
since then overall production has
entirely recovered the 15 per cent
drop incurred during the reces
sion. Four-fifth of the recession's
unemployed are back at work, he
said.
He said that Income, which
dipped 1 per cent during the re
cession period, "is back at a rec
ord high level and rising."
Because' consumer prices nave
held stable for the past eight or
nine months, the Increase in in
come has meant a real increase
in buying power, he added.

That's throwing cold water on the
West's contention that the way to
unification is through free elec

on the side of free elections.
When he was asked if Macmil

a useful purpose, Eisenhower re
sponded: "Now, when you come
down to the possibility that there
may have been some lessening of
this rigidity ... in the Soviet atti
tude, that we can't tell untU

Although Khrushchev has insist
ed that only a summit meeting
can solve anything. Eisenhower
said the opposite.
"What I keep deploring Is this
idea of talking about summit
meetings when you cannot see any
possibility of a constructive step
coming out of it," he said.

to pass a bill boosting unemploy
