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

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. At a
time when books und plays are
becoming more and more embol

lacious subject matter, it is un

This cause of clean pictures Is
not being figured on from'u pure

is as m Jch a matter of good bus

gmieral thought summed up in
Mr. Hayes' pronouncement comes
the credo from one compuny to
the effect that this concern is
out to make only cleun pictures.

this, not because we think you are interested in the oppor

'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.

for these groups to get together and talk shop and that may
bo one or the reasons they rank high, but regardless of tlu
ivasons we are confident that they appreciate the value of
such contact to an increasing degree each year.
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. .,. .
