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.

There isn’t the normal amount of civic pride here. 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
