Lions Club Told
Benefits of Ads
'Sparkplugs of Our
Standard of Living'
Eugene Lions were told Wed
nesday that advertising is the
"fire in the belly" of American
business,
George Griffis, director of the
Pacific National Advertising
Agency's Portland office, was
speaker at the group's weekly
meeting in the Eugene Hotel.
By "fire in the belly" he said he
meant a spirit of rebellion against
sales markets as they are. "This
spirit," he declared, "is the spark
plug of a system that has brought
the world's highest standard of
living to America."
"Advertising," he said, "tells a
manufacturer's story fast and ef
ficiently and makes mass produc
tion possible."
The man in the woods who
builds a better mousetrap and
waits for the world to beat a path
to his door will have to ask $1
for each mousetrap from the few
who find his place, Griffis said by
way of illustration.
But, he added, the man who ad
vertises his mousetrap will be able
to sell it for 25 cents, allowing 1
cent of that for advertising, be
cause of the big demand he will
have for his product.
Of the 65 million persons in the
U.S. who are gainfully employed,
Griffis said that only 35 million
are engaged in jobs which would
still exist in our economy was cut
back to the bare essentials of pro
viding only minimum food, cloth.
ing and shelter. The rest of the
jobs, he declared, are the result
of advertising "which creates an
ever widening circle of wants and
gives us the money and leisure to
fill them."

Russian Threat
Seen in Alaska
WASHINGTON (IP) Rep.
Dorn (D-SC) believes that Russia
has enough large air bases and
heavy troop concentrations close
to Alaska to enable them to land
100,000 troops on Kiska in the
Aleutian Islands.
In a House speech Thursday,
Dorn said he was told while in
Alaska last year that 20 Russian
planes were seen in one forma
tion in sight of U. S. Territory in
Alaska.
Tf Pnccla eoirrorl nna airtialA In!
Alaska, he said, Minneapolis, Chi,
cago, Detroit and the industrial
midwest would immediately be
open to atomic attack by the Reds
The closest common boundary
between Russia and the United
States, he said, is in the Bering
Sea off the coast of Alaska, and
"we must make Alaska impreg
nable to attack."
Dorn said a Soviet attack on
Alaska would immediately require
the rushing of large numbers of
United States troops and most of
our Air Force to that territory,
"any you would lose Europe and
the Far East simultaneously."
He said there is no doubt in his
mind that if Japan could land 5,
000 men on Kiska, as it did in the
last war, Russia could land 100,-000.

Taking of Land
WALLA WALLA OP) Judge
Sam M. Driver ruled Thursday
that the government's taking of
land for the McNary Dam project
on the Columbia River is not "ar
bitrary" nor "capricious."
The federal judge held that all
property being purchased for the
lake area is necessary. He ruled
against a property owner who
challenged the government action.
He declared that if he ruled
against the government "I would
soon be designing the entire Mc
Nary project.
"The records show the govern
ment is taking only 8000 acres of
land in addition to the 38,000 acre
reservoir area, and this property
is necessary to protect the govern
ment from future possible damage
actions."
