declared J. C. Penney, founder
sod chalrmau-of-tlie board of the
J. C. Penney company, before the
members of the National Chain
store association fo Chicago
Tuesday at their annual conven
tion. Tie also stated that the success
ful retail merchant ot the future
would be a leader ia community
affairs, serving as a community
minded eitizea. In his talk, a
copy of which was sent to J. W.
Chambers, manager of the store
here. Mr. Penney said:
"The country is familiar, with
the nature of 4he attacks which
have been made against the cit
izenship of chain store units and
chain store managers. In general,
it is familiar with the type of
men who incite 'these attacks. The
country at large is becoming In
creasingly convinced that the ma
jority of the attacks hate back
of them the desire of some Indi
vidual to capitallie on passiois
and prejudice to his own person
al financial advantage.
"If any good whatever has
arisen from the various local sit
uations, it will be found in the
awakening of a rising interest in
tha communities where agitation
has been going on, in chain stores
In general and !n an awakening,
on the part of the chain stores,
to the fact that they must assert
the part they 2re playing in com
munity affairs. .
Store Managers
In C ivic Activities
"In our organization, we have
kept close track of the activities
of our store managers in local af
fairs. "Results of a recent investiga
tion show that, onUof .1336 man
agers, who feceStted question
naires, 1307 were active members
of local organizations, maintain
ing 5030 memberships. Five hun
dred seventy-two store associates
were also member? of local bus
iness and civic clubs. Nine hun
dred thirty-three managers were
on committees or held office in
the clubs to which they belonged.
"It is characteristic of the
American people that they are
keenly sensitive to local activi
ties. We are a race of joiners and
we are community-minded.
"Rotary, Kiwani?, Lions, Com
munity Chest, Chamber ot Com
merce, these are a'.l far more than
words In the minus of the Ameri
can people. Thfy stand for na
tional traits which cannot be dis
counted. "The duties of citizenship do
not impose any financial or social
hardship upon the store man
agers, nor upon the store person
nel. "Because a man conducts bis
business in a mariner to insure Its
financial success does not make
him a business outcast in his
community. Every community 13
fully aware of the fact that one
of the most danperous men in its
midst Is the n:zn who is not
equipped to run a business and
who still insists ujon trying. The
losses sustained by retail organ
izations which fail are spread
over the entire community.
"On the other hnnd, the man
who insists that he must run his
business purely 's a mechanical,
money-making machine, entirely
without regard Xot the fact that
he Is accepteffMJCJt. part of the
community, is. amf-probably Jus
tifiably so. likely to be looked
npon with suspicion by the com
auinity. "The community wants bus
iness organizations that are suffi-
tiently well financed to Insure
permanent payrolls, rents paid,
nd bills paid. Tl.ey want organ
izations that are sufficiently well
organized to insure added service
facilities to the people in Its in
corporated limits.
' If the chain stores do as they
are reputed to do, open up a
wider trading area because of na
tional recognition of their impor
tance, then the local merchant
can be shown how he can benefit
directly from tbefr operations in
hi community.

Impressions of Tourists
Outlined by Dean Hewitt
In W. U. Chapel Address
Were you ever abroad? How
did you go Were you a tourist or
a traveler? There Is a difference.
At least, that la what Roy R.
Hewitt, dean or the Willamette
law school says. Dean Hewitt ad
dressed Willamette students In
chapel Tuesday on this subject.
Professor Hewitt made a voy
age this summer. His trip was
across to New York, down the
west coast of South America via
the Panama Canal, across the
Andes mountains on a cog rail
way, and up the east coast to
New York, and return. It was
rather interesting, asserts the in
structor. One of the most Interesting
part3 of the trip was the observa
tion of some of his fellow voy
agers. One cand hardly call them
travelers, for some of them are
ouristK.
Tourists, says the returned tra
veler, are those who bounce in
and announce, "Well, here I am!
See me!" One never forgets their
presence; a tourist doesn't let one
forget him. One thing that is sad
about the tourist: he doesn't 6ee
much, and there are plenty of
reasons why.
The most disgusting type of
tourist Is the prodigal son of the
wealthy family. Spoiled, indulged
in, plenty of money, much liquor
and a general good time these
are his characteristics. He leaves
a bad impression wherever he
goes; foreigners get tha wrong
attitude about this country be
cause of his.actions.
Equally a nuisance is the young
widow of an old man. Those per
sons usually saw their chance to

make money and a few years af
ter their marriage, they are left,
widows, but with lots ot money
to travel.
Then, there are the "gold dig
gers." Their best hunting grounds
are in Sooth America where
young college graduate engineers
and railroad men go to make
their , oportnnities. These poor
young fellows are so glad to see
a girl from home that they in
dulge heavily In the entertain
ment of their guests. When the
young women come home, they
tell what fools they met, and all
agree with them.
The" junk buying tourist! Dean
Hewitt expressed his opinion of
them quite firmly. They buy
trinkets and are so busy doing so
that they see none of the beau
ties or historical spots of the
world. When they come home,
their spoils of war are brought
out of the moth balls and they
say, "I bought this in that quaint
Valparaiso; and this in dear, gay
Paree." A chance to show they've
traveled: one never knows It
from their conversation or culture.
One who knows what he is go
ing to see is the "guide bo-ok"
tourist. He has read much of
what he views and as he sees
things, he checks them off with a
lead pencil. In the future. If ask
ed if he saw a certain attraction,
he refers to his guide book. If It
is checked, then he saw it. There
is no mental impression.
Some are "note-book" tourists.
They are so busy taking notes.
they see nothing. If their note
book is lost overboard, the trip
is a total loss.
Two types that are classes by
themselves are the foolish ques
tion artist and the dumb tourist
Every party of traveler has at
least one of each along pity the
party that has them both rolled
up into one individual.
As for the dumb one one
woman went ashore in Chile and
when she returned, the sea was
quite rough. The boats don't
dock on the Chilean coast, but
are anchored some distance from
land. Hence, the sailors had
drawn the bottom of the Jacob'a
ladder up farther from the water
in order that It would not be
smashed on the side ot the vessel.
The woman was dismayed be
cause the tide had gone out and
left the boat stranded on the
beach.
Mest of the people who go
abroad are really travelers.

and 1 well-informed before ne
even buys his ticket. He under
