NATION AL EDITORIAL Al II VI Framework Thors., June I, IM* MIMHI V AND THEN THERE’S THAT DIFEEKEM E OF OPINION In discussing the problem of where to park cars we find there is quite a difference of opinion as to the best method to use to keep convenient places open for the bosy shopper. There are those who of course will still argue that nt don t have a parking problem. There is only one conclusion we can arrive at when we hear an argument of this sort and this is to the effect that those who are prone to put up an argument of this sort are still living back in the days of the horse and buggy or perhaps in the days of the tiept ession. The argument that there is no problem connected with parking even in Cottage Grove is held by a very small per centage of the people. The remainder realized earlier that the parking can be serious; in fact is getting serious, but the best solution is where we cannot agree. We would like to make a suggestion to the city council that this organization avail itself of the services of a trattic survey, which we believe can be had through the League of Oregon Cities. The present plan of permitting no parking on certain sides of certain streets and of limiting off street parking in certain areas to an hour isn t solving the problem, it’s merely postponing the solution. There must be some merit in adopting the one way grid system; at least several cities are trying the system out and so far as we know would not trade it for the old method. The one way grid is designed to do two things, to speed traffic and to provide more space to 1 We would not go so far as to suggest that the one way- grid system would ease the traffic worries here, but we would say that from what we know of it, the system might work in a’ limited way. However we are not a traffic engineer. We do know, however that the present system isn t working too well and the one big advantage the smaller trading cen ters have is to offer easy shopping facilities to the people of its trade territory. Ol'T IN THE COLD WORLD Several thousand high school graduates have attended their list school session and are facing the prospect of tak*ug their places in the world. Within a short time the ranks of the new citizens will be swelled still further when additional thousands of college students will be on their own. Old, but sage advice has been repeated so often that it has practically- lost its meaning. „ . . . , The true test as to whether your training and education means, anything to you will come in your attempt to adjust yourself to your new surroundings. If your training won t assist you in adjusting yourself to your new found place in life, ithas not meant much. l%ere is just one thing that makes us suspicious that a lot of the modem training has missed its mark. It is the fact that seemingly the more students who acquire “'Sher learning the more tinged our political beliefs become and the more chances we take in flirting with ideas foreign to our political foundation. At least the only logical conclusion we have been able to draw is that today a college education is becoming more common and at the same time we are ha\ ing to endure more isms and less security so far as peace is con cerned than at any time during our national existence. Today’s graduates can have a great stake in the future by aiding'to restore the faith we’ve lived under for the last 150 years as a nation. NATION'S BUSINESS CHIEFS MEET Jt.

This defect is not secret so far as we know as several people have volunteered to express their opinion in affirmative and this criticism has been rather general during our stay here. We can’t be proud of its lack, but we can do something about it if we want to. The lack of pride whether personal or civic is due largely to selfishness and perhaps to civic laziness. To some it may be too much trouble and represent too much efforVIn this respect it’s akin to some of our other problems, demltpferis , x . , . .

CIVIC PRIDE IS SOMETHING WE CAN STAND MORE OF O’FALLON., PROGRESS: “When the Pilgrims broke loose from England and came to New England’s rocky shore«, they came for the avowed purpose of getting away from taxes. For many, many years the American people did quite well in that respect, the tax load, in proportion to the advantages enjoyed, being lower than in other countries. In recent years, however, the situation really has changed and cause® one to wonder what those hardy Pilgrims would say if they were back here today.” Grove Plywood Plant Finished <15,000,000 <25,011,145 75,771,122 <47,000,000 58,761,145 HO.7J9.977 Balance < 8,258.855 existed which private builders could not meet.
