fairly recently to supply a larger volume of what is term-j
ed business news. We find columns from expert writers! Personally, I'm not enamored of
dealing with economic subjects of the day. More stress 'al
is placed upon business and industry as factors of daily ready HAVE,
living. Newspaper readers are kept informed on financial in that event, It merely raises
trends, Industrial output and many other such items
New Department Started
To bring the same idea down to the local level and to
give a more complete picture of what is transpiring in
the business and industrial field of the area, The News-Review
today is introducing a new department.
This new department will be known as the Business
News Department. It will be edited by Leroy Inman, a vet
eran of The News-Tlcvieio editorial staff.
We have been doing a little experimenting with this de
partment for the last couple of weeks. It has been blue
printed and planned for many months.
A few of our observant readers have caught us ex
perimenting with the idea and have asked what we were
doing. Today's edition will give the answer. It is, of
course,, only a start. It will be enlarged and improved as
time goes on.
It has been our effort in the past to cover the business
and industrial field as a part of our regular news service.
We have succeeded to some extent in that purpose. It is
our feeling, however, that the business and industrial field
affects everyone. We all must buy. We should know our
merchants. We should know what we produce. We should
be informed concerning efforts made to serve our needs.
The work of reporting effectively what transpires in a
business way up and down the street is more of a task than
can be properly handled by a general reporter, we believe.
He has too many projects under consideration.
Full Time Assigned
As a means of providing a more thorough and com
plete coverage of the business field, we have assigned a
full-time, experienced reporter to that task.
He is under definite instructions that we don't want
propaganda and handouts. He has been specifically told
that his department is not to be used for publicity and free
advertising. At the same time, it is our opinion that a
great deal of business and industrial news has escaped our
news department and that more thorough coverage is justi
fied. Frankly, we don't know how the new department will
work out. We feel it is. particularly necessary during this
centennial year, when many visitors will be in and through
our county. These people will be striving to learn more
about us. One way we can tell them is to provide them
with the economic news of our area. News, we feel, is about
people. We believe we can best tell the news by telling
what people are doing, where they are going, what they
think, what they contribute.
Our Business News Department will be a regular feature
of our Saturday paper henceforth. It also will contribute
from day-to-day to the general news report.
We expect it to be a big and important department.
That's why we have started it. Readership will tell.
If our readers like it, we hope you will tell us about it.
If you don't like it, again, we want to know.
Our merchants, too, would like to know if you read
about them in the newspaper. Why not tell them?

BIG SECRET
Eugene Register-Guard
What did the Willamette Valley
District Council of the Lumber and
Sawmill Workers gain by making a
big secret out of their meeting
Tuesday with Gov. Mark Hatfield?
Why did Governor Hatfield talk
to such a group in secret.'
Would it not have been polite for
the council to have told the gov
ernor that the group did not want
his speech made public? The gov
ernor's office had notified the press
of his appearance here, feeling
that the governor had something
important to say not just to the
union boys, but to the public, too.
The governor and his staff were
needlessly embarrassed when they
learned that he was supposed to
whisper his comments to just the
90 members at the meeting.
After the meeting, the governor
did tell the press what he said
and what he wanted the press to
know that he'd trailed along with
the union and agreed to sign the
anli-picketing bill. He also said
again that he opposes a sales tax.
The governor would have looked
stronger if he'd insisted that the
press hear it from him as the
union representatives heard it.
What would old Ironpants Martin
have done? He'd have walked out,
that's what.
Governor Hatfield would have
looked better if he had sounded
off right then making it plain
that never again does he intend
to travel 150 miles to permit a
group to treat as a big secret the
governor's public views on an im
portant public issue.
AN ENDLESS SPIRAL

These new-fangled credit Ideas
can be deadly traps.
Over and over the merchants of
fer sales on credit and over and
over the consumer gets himself
tied up on some easy-pay plan.
The idea is fine for those who are
unable to make an outright pur
chase of some needed item, but
it can lead to difficulties.
Many times the consumer loses
sight of the number of monthly
payments for which he has sign
ed, and soon has more obligations
to meet than his income will allow.
It would appear that the same
procedure is taking place in gov
ernmental spending. So many
things are deemed necessary by
different pressure groups, and soon
the money to pay for those things
exceeds the income. Money is bor

Devotions
TEXT: John 11:1-1.
We have a compassionate Lord!
fn this text Jesus is told that Laz
arus, the brother of the Mary who
had anointed Jesus with oil was
sick. His concern for Lazarus was
deep and so he left the town in
which he was staying and began
the journey to Bethany. Before he
arrived Jesus knew that Lazarus
had died and when Jesus arrived
and stood before the tomb he wept
hot tears of compassion.
Someone has said, "Never morn
ing wore to evening but some
heart did break." When ours
breaks, what then? When heart
ache and tragedy strike in our
home, what do we do? When
storms coma our way, is there
some line in the sea of life which
we can grasp and cling to?
What do we do in the face of
suffering? The answer to this
question concerns every one of us.
since all of us experience it at
times. Should we reach with bit
terness toward the world and to
ward God? Should we allow such
experiences to break our spirits
and crush us into utter dejection?
When sickness or death or some
other problem arises in our life we
can remember the example in John
11:1-16 and feel reassured that the
Lord will stand by our side just
as he stood beside the family of
Lazarus.
In the National Art Gallery there
is a marvelous picture. Christ
hangs upon the cross in a dense
darkness; and at first that is all
one sees. But, as one peers into the
background, gradually there stands
out another form, God's form; and
other hands supporting Christ,
(iod s hands; and another face,
God't face, more full of agony
even than our Savior's own. The
presence, the sufficiency, the sym
pathy of God, these things grow
very real and very sure and very
wonderful.
There is a gospel chorus which

Page Quits After
Negro Sign-Ups
WASHINGTON (AP) - An 18-year-old
Virginian who was hired
recently as a House page hoy has
pulled out of the Capitol page
school because three Negro youths
attend it.
The boy, Ludson Hudgins of
Blackstone, Va., quit the school
Wednesday, two days after enroll
ing. He said he didn't know the
school had Negroes when he came
to Washington.
Two of the Negro youths are
employed at the Supreme Court;
the third is a messenger for five
House members.
Hudgimi said he will continue on
his job manning a House gallery
door through this session of Con
gress, and make up missed stud
ies in summer school.
The association, which was or
ganized to work for a big Hells
Canyon Dam on the Snake River,
will prepare testimony at its meet
ing for the hearing.
"We feel that the 308 Report
is vpry acceptable in some re

The retail price now is 15 3 a
