Psalm 60: liUILDKKK OF I50VS With a large group of boys already established in camp on Catherine Creek and another group getting organized for encampment at Wallowa Lake, La Grande is fortunate in possessing the close by facilities and the leadership within its midst that makes such outings for its youth possible. There is nothing like opportunity to get into the woods and gaining appreciation of natural life to help in the making of a real boy. The normal boy bends naturally to the influences of the great outdoors and with the efficient and capable leadership of such men as ilarvey Carter and Elmo Steven son of this community, a goodly percentage of the youthful character of La Grande boys is being moulded in the right direction in these summer camps. A COMMKNDAOLE UEFUSAL Patronized as they are today by a great percentage of our country's population, the "movies" can exert much influence in formation of public opinion. And it is well, particularly in these times, that film producers and theater operators of the right sort are harkening to righteous protest ol a national movement to keep tho picture screen as free of presentations of so called objectionable nature ns possible. What is objectionable material and what is not is some times a difficult task for a theater operator to decide. His basis of judgment, like a newspaper operator, must be formed largely by what the greater majority of his patrons appear to desire. No enterprise catering to the whines and likings of public entertainment and diversion can meet 100 per cent approval of its patronage for there seems to be no two in dividual tastes exactly alike and many strong opposites. Sv beyond types of entertainment as he sees them generally accepted as good or bad by his audiences, the theater oper. a tor must base his judgment and make selection of his wares upon his own good, common sense. That La Grande is today favored in its motion picture en tertainment with a goodly portion of that common sense ,in ; selection of programs that are offered is not only manifest with th better type of pictures now appearing in the local pla'yJjQusfs but particularly an instance of the past week. Approached by a film salesman, with a "hot number" par ading the lives, loves, conflicts and crimes of Dillinger and his gang that was visioned to him as having been a "sell out and a money maker" in other cities, Don Meyers, manager of tho local house turned it down and sent a bewildered sales man on his way with the remark that "we're not interested in that kind of a 'sell out' in La Grande." This newspaper, which like other publications of its kind, has had no small amount of "sell outs" to decide against in keeping its .news and advertising columns upright to what it considers the best advantage of its readers, can appreciate and realize the extent of Air. Meyers refusal, particularly in these times when "sell outs" could be of such advantage to the shrunken cash register. We believe the judgment of Mr. Meyers in this instance, worthy of most hearty commendation and attention from sober minded, clean living citizens of our community.
