What's in an address, 1
Sen. Rex Ellis believes there Is
good deaL i
He is a hard rock miner, but be
cause his Pendleton home stands
between two churches, be is often
called upon to double r for a
preacher. f j !
Fact is, it is his considered opin
ion that preachers are asked for
more assistance, financial and oth
erwise, than men in any other pro
fession;' . r i
The senator from Umatilla coun
ty may have got a kick out of hear
ing married couples patch tip their:
quarrels in front of himj out of
feeding! or refusing to feed those
who came4o his door, but he now
draws the, line at performing wed.
ding ceremonies. .. . ?
It all happened this way: The
bride-to-be came to the big house
between the two churches, and
she looked so young that the man
of the "manse" took it for granted
she was a high school classmate of
his daughter's. ; The suggestion
that she was there to be married
seemed a serious; sort of initiation
for a high school club, so he tried
to lighten the burden by suggest
ing that he use; a dictionary in
stead of a Bible as "more suitable
to the occasion".'
V ;
When he asked for "the papers'
and received an actual license, the
miner turned senator and did the
politic thing. The groom by this
time had arrived so both the
young : persons were put into the
Ellis car and taken across town to
the residence of a man permitted
by law to tie the knot

Served tat Navy f '
Leonard Firestone is a son of
the late. Harvey I S. Firestone;
founder and builder of the great
rubber and tire-making, concern
which bears bis name. Leonard
served a year and a half in the
navy: but when the tire situation
became acute he was put on in
active status so he could take over
the I management i of Firestone
plants in - the west. The largest
of these is the tire making factory
in Los Angeles. -!
Asked by Mayor Doughton
whether he thought there was
future for synthetic rubber, Fire
stone replied, "I have no doubt of
it" i j
With regard to price he stat
ad that synthetic rubber is now
being, produced' at lower cost than
the cartel price maintained for nat
ural I rubber. He ; said, however,
that the United States would want
to do business with Britain and
the Dutch, so that the postwar rub
ber would probably be divided be
tween natural and. synthetic.
Firestone operates rubber plan
tations la Liberia and receives i
substantial quantity of " rubber
from that source, which is con
sidered of great I value now in
blending with synthetic. His com.
pany operates three government
built synthetic rubber plants in
other parts of the country.
The tire industry will have lit
I tie difficulty with reconversion.
Firestone said. Its major product,
tires win be in continued demand.
The present tall for tires has been
so heavy, he commented, particu
larly Xor truck tires, that the. ar
my has fuTloughed' some men to
his plant to augment the supply ox
tire-makers. "
