Some growth ami progress will have to he admitted, notwithstanding sonic may find it hard to take. Since we have admittedly made some progress and since some changes have occurred, the wise thing to do would be to do some planning. This would be for the benefit of all and not a few. Ami this brings us to the thought that a little boosting for more civic spirit and a planned development would not be amiss. Quite a few are hopeful that much good can he aeeom- nlLshed and that we can go nh-ad. The clock can not he turned back ami we can not stand still. The local thing is to work nml plan ami hop«1 for the things w e’d like to see happen.

Twenty-four or five years ago W orld W ar No. 1 was fought to marie the world sale for democracy and to end wars. Today are facing the same situation because in that period the world has made no progress toward establishing amicable relations among its peo ples. this despite the scientific and educational progress we have made. Some things we do under the stress of tiiuts as was done in the last war when innocent people were persecuted, seems foolish now. ns it will seem foolish to the next geination. Such asinine stunts as was pulled in Oklahoma <’ity will make us blush tw enty years from now. And if the rising senti ment for war continues, we may do other things even mor, asinine. even to accusing our neighbors of lack of patriotism, it they don’t do and see things as we do. , Y tk wt- may feel justly proud that we have achieved much material progress since the last war and ashamed that we have learned little or nothing about getting along together. But how can we hope for peace until we learn our lesson ’ Dictatorships are built not on hope, but on hate. D • • * A new set cd trailer scales which makes possible frequent weighing of animals raised by 4-H club mem bers has been given to the clubs of the central Willamette valley by the WUlamette Valley Production Credit association of Salem.

J. F. Finneran, agent, said here Tuesday, s ta rtin g about Sep tember 15th. The company has contemplated the building pro gram fo r several months, but owing to the changes anticipated in the highway, did not decide un t i l recently to proceed w ith the erection o f .the building. The present equipment and buildings m aintained by the com pany on the p roperty w ill be re moved to make room fo r the new unit, which w ill cost in the neigh borhood of $9,000. A ll o f the p roperty at the intersection o f the tw o streets w ill be paved and a modem service station w ith a lub rica tion u n it and accessories erected. Bids were opened fo r the construction o f the building Aug ust 29th, but o fficials here had not heard up to Tuesday a fte r noon w hat co ntractor was suc cessful. James Rodman, who has a real estate office in the Standard O il building on 9th street, said Tues day he planned to erect an office building at the corner o f 7th and Main. Plans fo r the office build ing, however, had not been com pleted a t the tim e the announce ment was made. W H IP P IN G B O Y Drop a tear for the oil business. E very time a demagogue wants to explain a war in simple and inflammatory terms, he blames it on an oil eompany; every- time some agency of govern ment wants more income, it says. “ Add another cent on oil. Ami when Thurman Arnold, the trust-busting assistant attor ney-general of the United States, has a dull moment, he starts something new against oil concerns. And whereas we havc.no delusions concerning the dealers in black gold, well knowing th^ir sometimes questionable record, the Thurman Arnold ease, since it involves advertising, brings out our accumulation of irritation. i Mr. Arnold recently addressed a detailed questionnaire to th aoil people, asking about advertising in particular. He did not stage his purpose, only sent out the paperfc, Ills record, how ever, leads those who have studied the matter to suspect that h e 'is attempting on the one hand to discredit advertising in general and that on the oher hand he is .•specially pleased to have his investigations directed against the merchants of gaso line and lubricants. He has since disclaimed any attempt to prove advertising an economic waste. and now asserts his only prfoeeupation is with the anti-trust laws. We tuck that dis claimer away for future reference. Meanwhile, on this matter of whether or not advertising is an economic waste, let us insert the following in the record book: America is expected to win the present war. either direct ly or indirectly, through its capacity for mass production, ami the mass production system was made possible by advertising. As to whether advertising has been misused in the oil busi ness; we call attention to certain facts presented in the current Editor and Publisher by Dr. L. D. H. Weld, former professor of business administration at Y a le ; The oil companies spend tre mendous sums in the laboratories in an effort to gain advantage over one another, ami when they make some advance they spend reasonably to let the public know. Meanwhile, the cut-rate out fits. free of research costs, keep the prices down by selling from underneath. As a consequence of this competition. the vital octane rating of gasoline has increased from 52 in 1920 to 75 in 1940— a tremendous increase in efficiency. In the same years, the average price of gasoline (not including taxes) has gone down from 28% cents to 12% cents a gallon. In the face ot that it would he a hit difficult to go before a ju ry of sane men with the thesis that advertising has been an economic waste. .________________________— Portland (Ore.) Oregonian.
