Newspaper Page TextEnrene Krlkr-Gnard Hazen Calls For Labor Peace "In the coming year we'll Judge both labor and management by how well they can get along to gether, not by how good their ar guments are." This was the opinion of Ben Hazen, president of the Benjamin Franklin Savings and Loan Assn., . Portland, when he spoke Monday noon at the Osburn Hotel to Ki- wanis Club, on labor-management problems in 1947. : Labor Peace Needed "A total of 120,000,000 man-days ' were lost in 1946 through strikes alone," Hazen told his listeners. .."It's time to quit looking around to find out what each side has to say on the question. The really .! important thing is, 'Can labor and management get along?' Upon the answer to this question hangs the . success or failure of the private enterprise system as opposed to Estate control." As international chairman of the Kiwanis business standards ' committee, Hazen asked Eugene Kiwanians to give sober thought to the national Kiwanis conven tion's resolution favoring compul ..sory arbitration. Battle Expected "A real legislative battle appears to be shaping around this issue and it is one we're bound to hear a lot about," he said, "but re member, both management and labor are against it, even though employers say it may be necessary In some extreme cases. Most of the opposition has labeled it 'a .jnere extension of bureaucracy."' - Hazen reminded Kiwanians that 'most of them have much to gain ; by a well-paid laboring class, -working short hours, and he warned, "We must recognize that unions have the right to strike that is a right of citizenship and no legislation can take it away." Hazen, who is a member of the University of Oregon lecture panel, delivered an address Monday "morning before the university -dass on business public relations, Conditional Probation Won by Eugene Man Joe Sommerville, Eugene, Mon . day was sentenced to a three , year term in the state penitentiary ' at Salem, but was placed on pro bation to sheriff's deputies on condition that he repay alleged ' bad checks within 60 days from -the time he resumes work.

The post office and gro cery store is being operated by Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Sail.. The new post office will give better service to the large number of families who live across the river from Finn Rock, who were formerly served by the Vida post office which is about 12 miles distant. The store and community which has been known for many years as Finn Rock, gets its name from a large rock by the side of the road. The rock got its name, ac cording to the old timers on the river.jy the following story: "One day when 'Huckleberry Finn' was driving his mules up the road, in the days when he was freighting, he saw this large rock which had rolled down the hill and was blocking the road. This did hot bother him, -because he just unhitched his mules and hooked them on to the rock, and pulled it oft to one side, where it still sits and you can still see the chain marks on the rock." According to the "oldtimers" this story must be true because "Huckleberry Finn" told it.
