Brookings-Harboi Pilot For What It's Worth By Clifford P. II m • The three-ring circus featuring corruption in the fair city of P o rt land has moved out of its home q u arte rs and is playing to a m uch la rg er audi< nee in our n a tio n s capital. Needless to say, as the perform ers move through their various acts and m outh th eir well practised lines, the citizens of the Thursday, March 14, 1957 Brookings, Oregon nation m ust be w ondering if the roses for w hich th e city is fam ous may not be giving off an odor far differen t from th at norm ally .xoected. C ertainly our state’s queenly city m ust be proud of the notorie ty coming its way. T here was a tim e w hen Chicago was the city of crim e and corruption. The gang sters. the hoodlum, and the rac k et eer ta m e into th eir own there; and the row dy city becam e th e Mecca for crim inals. For those who liked stories of sordid crim e. fee xvci Chicago was the city m ost quali-1 fied to keep the supply flowing. But now a new com er is chisel ing its way into the headlines and bids fair to take aw ay the spot light from the Illinois m etropolis of crim e. P ortland is prov ing to all w ho are interested th at she is not a backwoods village, dom in ated by a bunch of mossbacks who hav en ’t had a new idea in half a century.

They w ere the ones who w ere w ell aw are th at th eir home tow n w ould be just another Am erican city unless they did som ething to m ake it conspicously different. T rue, they almost got started n the wrong track once when they elected a wom an m ayor who p romised to clean up the town and then fooled them all by doing so. This erro r was speedily recti fied, how ever, and then heeding the siren call of those who fed them the propoganda th at a clean town could n ever hope to get ahead, the voters sent Dorothy packing and proceeded to make the bed in w hich they now lie. They can be rightfully proud of th eir handiw ork, for P ortland is definitely going places. Chicago— move over!
