T.I HOOD RIVER GLACIER PROUD OF SILVER GUP VICTORY m Best Oregon Weekly, According to Judges in College Contest, Built on Idea of Serving People, Editor Declares. TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 2G, 1921 x. h i H i II n VVTF a BY JOE D. THOMPSON. Editor Hood River Glacier. HOOD RIVER, Or.. June 25. (Spe cial.) Honors come so seldom to those whose lives are devoted to weekly newspaper work that we know our fellow craftsmen will pardon our ex pression of pride in the award made last week at Corvallis, when as a feature of farmers' week at the Ore gon Agricultural college. Judges awarded first place to the Hood River Glacier from a standpoint of rural community service. We feel that the people of Hood River should be elated, and more especially so, since the towns only other news paper, the Hood River News, was awarded the second place, running the Glacier, according: to the judges; almost a tie race. Newspapers, big or little, of the smallest country fown or the biggest metropolis, must show aggressiveness and initiative to de velop. but they also most assuredly are in a measure a reflection of the demands of the citizenry of the com munities in which they exist. The month of brides and roses hap pens also to be the birth month of the Glacier. This newspaper, the oia est business institution of the Hood River valley, with the exception of the Mt. Hood hotel, came into being In June 32 years ago. The paper has made a steady growth since its first issue was turned out on an old hand cress. The paper was founded by George T. Prather, now a rancher of the Summit district. The late Jonn H. Cradlebaugh, one of Oregon's most gifted writers, was Its editor until 1894. when he sold the paper to s. Blythe, Civil war veteran and dean of northwestern printers. The latter sold the paper in 1904 to its present owner, A. D. Moe. ink for tne iirst copy of the pioneer newspaper was spread over the old press by D. E. Rand, now a local merchant, who for two years was printers devil ana general assistant in the original of fice. Victory Caunra Thrill News of our Corvallis victory nat urally makes our 32d birth our proud est and happiest. The standard of Oregon's rural press is recognized as hplnrr unusuallv high. It Is heart ening to have the efforts of weeks. years and months thus rewarded. It is a stimulus to urge us on to an even better record. While we believe we can say with out being guilty of immodesty that the decision of the Corvallis Judges resulted to a large extent from our own efforts, the Hood River com munity should accept the victory in a great measure as its own. The general community spirit of progress is always a spur to Initiative on the part of the newspaper. The mer chants of Hood River, too. should feel themselves responsible in a de gree for the award. Hood River mer chants aid weekly in making possible a newspaper of merit by their liberal use of advertising space. In few communities, even metropolitan, have merchants learned the value of ad vertising as have those of Hood River. The columns of their display each week tell a story of progres sive merchants. We consider our victory at Cor vallis the result of years of striv of Mr. Blythe, although ownership of the publication passed completely in 1904, remains n Inspiration. ; Sliver Cap Citizen' Trophy. We expect to receive our silver cup soon. We have invited the peo- pie oi hood .reiver to come in and join us in admiring It. We will possess It merely as custodian. We have asked the people of the city and valley to think of the cup or look upon it as their own, for it belongs to Hood River. The Glacier aims to make further progress. We do not, however, ex pect to participate in anything sen sational. This would not be in keep ing with our Dast record. We Drefer to be conservative, but to fight when I else we aim that it be for construc tive purposes. We never .intend to inflict wanton scars or to tear down. From week to week we divide our space proportionate to nterit and de mands nf rhp nuhlirv nmnnir all nf thp I activities of the county, including ! religious, civic ana business, ana faithfully make record of them all; to stimulate honest endeavor in all fields and thus bring about rural community co-operation and growth We notice that a criticism attached to us because of advertisements on our front page. Despite the fact that this has been a characteristic mark of the Glacier, we know those front page advertisements must offend the j eyes of other newspapers, lor tne reason that they are no longer the fashion. But the Glacier to its cus tomary readers would be like Mount Hood without Cooper's Spur, were the front page advertisements elimi nated. Some newspapers that pre sent a handsome front page make us think of the type of man who spends his all on a flashy suit of cl.thes, but who wears a dickle and no un derclothes. Advertisement Feature Page. We do not mean to imply a sole justification for our front page ad vertisements simply because we are following a custom long established. The front page aaveriising copy nu advantages and benefits for the j mutual good of us and our adver-, j sers. We try to apportion equally live and interesting reading matter and advertisements of each page. If we did not carry advertising on the front page, we would necessarily have to add two additional pages to the paper or fill some inside pages almost exclusively with advertising copy. By utilizing a, set portion of the front page each week we equal ise the advantage of advertisers dj- avinz all of their messages to pros pective purchasers closely aligned to reading matter. The Glacier is a local newspaper. purely. We do not try to settle na- j flnnal or international affairs. Our i scope is limited to Hood River ana things that touch on Hood River me. We have frequently been asked this uestion bv men and women, who by the mere asking show an inexperl- nce in newspaper work: Why aon i on start a daily?"
