Occasionally one encounters a Model "T" or other car of like vintage on the road. The moat striking feature of such old cars is their sniallness, short whet'l base and narrow width of ssats. . Yet in their day such cars were stan dard. Now comes Ford with its announce ment of the Falcon, hailed as a "small" car to meet the competition of foreign makes. In its pictures the Falcon looks much like a standard car. Kut it is two feet shorter and three quarters of a ton lighter than a standard model. Chrysler and General Motors will also have" simi lar "small" models ready this fall. These cars may be small by today's standards,- but they will be probably bigger in several respects than the stan- ' dard cars of 30 years ago. The question in the minds ot the manufacturers is whether automobile users will be satis fied with the reduced dimensions. After all, it was consumer demand, wasn't it,, that resulted in the gradual lengthening, widening and lowering of passenger car models? Partly so, probably, but to what extent was it a forced demand, brought about by the necessity to produce a new looking model each year to stimulate new car sales? The big three, we would say, will be surprised at how well their new "shorter, narrower" models sell in comparison with ones that are ever "longer, wider and lowef." . ' " ,.; The Fair Board Has .A Bum Idea The Oregon Statesman at Salem re ports the State Fair Board is consider ing moving the State Fair ahead so it will close on Labor Day. This might be a good idea for the stati show and Salem, but it's a bum one for ' the 36 counties of the atate and their own fairs, and for many exhibitors. The State Fair generally is considered the peak by many exhibitors. This is particularly true iii' the 4-1 1 and FFA , classifications, where the county fairs do a terrific job of cuttinir down the number of exhibits so they can be hand led at Salem. If the state show is moved up, many if not most county shows still will be going on. Exhibitors will have to take their choices of shows, to the detriment, probably, of the county fairs. Unless, of course, the state board fig ures the move will force the county fairs to change dates to conform to the Ktate group's policy. Why Some Lands Go Communistic Many harassed taxpayers wonder why- President Eisenhower feels he must ask for more foreign aid than djd President Truman, despite all the 1952 Republican attacks upon Democratic "tlolmloney." A few statistics make the reasons ob vious. In the free world, some 1.3 billion people live in under-developed countries and only 5."0 million in developed coun tries, , from statistics compiled and re leased to prens media recently by Oregon Sen. Richard Neuberger. The backward countries are in the grip of dire poverty. This makes them prime fodder for Communism. For example: Per capita wealth in de veloped countries is $1,400 as compared to $120 in under-developed lands; there aro 1,000. nules of road per 1,000 square miles in developed countries ; only 75 miles in poor countries. t Life expectancy is 67 years in some Western countries to only 36 years for the under-developed regions; literacy fate is 95 per cent) for developed lands to $ per cent for the other region, and electrical power 2,200 KW'II to 80 KWH for developed and under-developed areas, respectively. .,! Whole System, Not Just Jake, On Trjal As was to be expected, there lias been considerable discussion of the state board's decision to grant parole to Jake Pinson. i For Pinson during his lifetime has been an honest-to-goodness bad guy. It was only about 12 years ago he com mitted the supreme crime of killing a state policeman who was trying to stop him from committing robbery. During his firt five years in the peni tentiary, he attempted escape three times. Sentenced to life in prison, he has served only 12 years. With Pinson's record prior to prison, and his record early during his prison career, one would suspect he would stay mere Tor many years. ., ' t Hut such is not the case, and he is to be released soon. The parole board and prison officials have decided, he, has changed, and will be a good parole risk. We hope they're r'Kht.i Release, kon parole of a convict of Jake's past re cord is a gamble for the whole parole system. If Jake understands this and acts accordingly, the decision will have Ix'en correct. If he doesn't the whole system will suffer damage. There's no place like home for dogs! 1'uti't let yours roan).
