Old Remedies Still Hold Good (A Worthwhile Editorial Selected by the National Editorial Association) In the stress of these depressed times many folks have almost lost their heads in seeking some method by which we can come back out on the plane of nor­ mal times. Freak methods, isms, panaceas, legisla­ tion and all that sort of thing a?e just so much de­ lay in the path of prosperity. The old remedies still hold good and it is not by hitting on something new but by getting back to the old. the sound and funda­ mental principles upon which America was founded, that we are going to work out our future. Hard work, sacrifice, honesty, privation, saving, management and the principles of the Christian re­ ligion are the rules for success which our forefathers used to conquer a wilderness and lay the foundation for the greatest nation in the world today. Prosperity brought with it the dreams of short cuts to fame and fortune. America chased he bubble until it burst and now most of us are sitting down trying to think of some short cut or scheme to get back in prosperi­ ty’s road again. We need rather to get back sound common sense. The world has changed but the principles upon which civilization was founded have not changed. The unequalities under which we are now chafing are the result of our disobeying the fundamental principles listed above. Instead of further fooling ourselves by following some of the many who are proposing unsound ideas about the return of pros­ perity, let’s get back to the old remedies. They will still hold good, if we but apply them.—News, Lenoir City, Tennessee. Safety First Number of serious accidents occurring on the highways make it imperative that every possible pre­ caution be taken to prevent loss of life and injuries. Five cars were smashed up within a week’s time near Earl Hobbs place on the highway west of Hills­ boro, all because the cars were too close together. The Tualatin valley highway is too narrow for safe driving and since the non-skid surface has been laid, it is almost impossible to tell where the pavement and the gravel shoulder join. It would seem ex­ pedient to have a white line painted down the cen­ ter of the pavement as a safety measure in order that automobile drivers at night might have a bet­ ter knowledge of the road. The terrible accident of last Friday night is just an example of the ever present danger of motoring. Drivers should have some thought for the other fel­ low and realize that his fellow motorists have some rights on the road. Two important functions at the county fair are sponsored by Hillsboro organizations—the Rotary club and the Business and Professional Women’s club. Rotarians sponsor the “Mutt’ dog show and the expressions on the faces of the boys and girls should more than repay the members for all they put into it. Women in the Business and Professional club put in considerable work in putting on the twin and triplet contest and deserve much credit. Although, at times, one feels that work of this kind is without benefit, the Argus cannot help but feel that these two organizations are sponsoring events that mean much to making the county fair in Hillsboro a suc­ cessful community event. After reading the letter published in last week’s paper about children taking milk bottles that right­ fully belonged to the milk distributor and selling them at stores, one of our subscribers told us that they not only took empty bottles, but would steal fresh milk after delivered on porches, use the milk and sell the bottles. These are acts that should be investigated by parents. If children are actually in need of milk, there are many kind-hearted citizens who would be glad to buy milk for them, rather than have them develop into thieves. These practices should be reported to the parents, and if not stop­ ped, then reported to the proper authorities, for it is a deplorable thing to have juveniles starting on the road which leads to the “Big House.’’ Increased use of Hillsboro made products means more money in the community with which to buy products of the farm, to buy goods from the local merchants and to patronize local professional and service men. Remember that bread and pastries are made here, that laundry and cleaning work is avail­ able from local firms, that printing of quality can be secured as reasonable here as any place, that milk is condensed here and that Forest Grove butter made from the milk of Washington county cows is sold in local stores. Value of irrigation was seen on the recent tour by farmers and business men. They saw where loss or “just getting by” was turned into profit through the use of water. Products produced on irrigated lands by local farmers are evidence of the value of irriga­ tion. Oregon has plenty of rain during the fall, win­ ter and spring months, but there are long months without rain and irrigation will relieve some of the hazards. Weil’s are to be congratulated on 18 years of service in the community. In that time they have built up one of the outstanding suburban depart­ ment stores in the state, a credit to the county. They have done much to increase the trading area of Hills­ boro. Action of the county court in taking over the work as purchasing agent of the county is to be commended as a step for business efficiency in coun­ ty affairs. Centralized buying should result in econ­ omies that will be appreciated in the future. Mrs. M. A. Powell, 1845, celebrated her birthday at her home here todaj.
