Jn a recent speech made in Holly wood to a group of motion pic ture di rectors. Will 11. I la yes. president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors or America, Inc.. put the matter of clean pictures before his audience with a clarity that must have come startling to many ears, lie told these leaders of film des tiny that ho understood and sym pathized with the many intricate problems that lay before them. and he assured them that he had no intention of laying down form ulas for what they should do. "1 simple lay before you one form ula." he said, "and thut of what you must not do. You must not offend common decency. . That'd all." There can be no doubt that Mr. Hayes struck the vital spot of (he I'J-5 picture situation whi-n he summed tip the whole question' of censorship and. film policy in this one forceiul diet m.

'l Nothing allows all of us to get into a perpetual rut sit luuch as failure to come in contact with others who have the (same interests, the same problems, and the same aspirations and visions for the furtherance of our chosen work. . In tpitc of the fact that prior to the war very few farm or ganizations functioned with regularity or efficiency, the uir iiciilturalist today usually does more to get that valuable contact that any other class of business men. He attends grange meetings, he takes part in Kami liurcau work, bo has a share in the agricultural Conference such as was en joyed in Union county last week, and he tubs elbows and talks shop with his neighlM.r and his neighbor's neighbor at (very opportunity. At least the more progressive farmer and rancher does that hero in Eastern Oregon and a big' majority of the total can be placed in that progressive class. V..

The writer is not familiar with conditiims in Oregon on th ? subject as it i.s related to buim.,sS men, but in the Mi.ldl" West It has In-en our experience to find slow, unprogiessive business men whenever and wherever we found men who Hid not take the trouble to get out of their own environ ment, .their own eiiciimsciilK'd shell, and come in contact with others of their kind who might give new ideas, new points of view, new methods, and new energy in the ac complishment of their jobs. Of course it's mure difficult and inconvenient for the average business man to get away to take iart in conventions, business conferences, etc.. wlici " he meets associates in other towns and cities, but it i.s of tremendous value. In La Grande this is recognized espe cially, wo believe, and will grow in importance as we prog rest further. Ceitainly such association with our fellows is an investment that pays vast returns both in money and in the satisfaction we get out of doing business letter and nerving more. .,. .
