JUVENILES AND THE COMMISSION
The news of Wednesday night's city commission meeting
and of the time taken there in discussing the enforcement of
laws relating to juveniles leaves us both discouraged and en
couraged. We think that our feeling is shared by a large
majority of the people of Bend. It is discouraging to learn
that after all that happened a year ago and all that then was
promised regarding the enforcement of city ordinances there
has been a lapse and a return to the very conditions so seri
ously complained of at that time. It is eacouragiiiK to learti
that the city commission seems moved to take positive action
in the matter and the fact that it took grand jury criticism
to promote commission action can be forgotten.
Our news story says that there was heated debate at the
meeting over the question. What, we wonder, was there to
debate. The ordinances are on the books. The public be
lieves in them or there would -be a demand for their repeal.
The question of enforcement does not call for debate. A
fertile mind can doubtless think of reasons why this or that
may be difficult but. after all, enforcement is enforcement,
and that is all there is to it
We agree that juveniles may enter so-called pool rooms
for many a harmless purpose. The ordinance, however, con
templates protection against harm that may be in these places
of resort. Those particular city officials charged with the
enforcement of the law should enforce it or propose its repeal
and give good reasons for the proposal.. The same is true as
to the curfew ordinance.
Let it be noted that the juvenile problem is not, however,
to be answered by enforcing a series of "Thou shalt nots."
There must be a positive program including healthy recrea
tion opportunity and that is something that needs the thought
or others besides the city commission. .

ME. TOO '
It was to be expected that Secretary Stimson would back
up the president's proposal for a national service law. It is
surprising, however, that he sWbuld wait until the president
spoke before urging publicly, before committees of congress
and elsewhere, that industrial unrest at home threatened to
undermine the morale of the fighting forces. The fact has
been patent for months. '-Trainees ' have reported it when
thejt.visited at home before taking ship for tfie fighting front.
Letters from overseas have told what the boys out there were
Baying. News correspondents have given prominence to the
feeling in their dispatches. ;
With the passage of time fuller implications of the presi
dent's proposal have been realized and now there, is general
agreement that what Mr. Roosevelt sought was to place on
congress the apparent blame for failing to deal with indus
trial strikes that slowed down war industry. In the three
years that he has hesitated to recommend a national service
law he has also failed to deal with striking labor vigorously
and effectively. He has temporized, compromised and paci-
iiea. me cmcKen ot nesitation has been approaching its
roosting place of blame in the Roosevelt office and now the
master politician tries to drive the bird down to the other end
of Pennsylvania avenue.
Secretary Stimson, of course, must now follow the White
House lead. It is unfortunate, however, that regardless of
politics he did not strike on behalf of soldier morale months
ago. His present "Me too,'' argument is both belated and
unbecoming. .'..'
Congratulations to the school children of Lanine. Thev
have accepted the challenge of the paper salvage campaign
and already collected over a ton of paper as their initial con
tribution in the drive. As to this campaign it must be
remembered that it is continuing. It's from now on. It is not
enough to bring in your old magazines. You must save paper
day in and day out.
Others Say .
BY DIRECTIVE
(AstorUn Budget)
Congress has been given, by the
constitution, sole power to make
all laws necessary and proper for
the raisins of an army. See Ar
ticle 1; Section 8, paragraphs IB
and 12. preferably in that order.
Congress has decreed, by law,
that pre-Pearl Harbor fathers
shall be placed ot the bottom of
the list of selective service ellgt
Dies. Thin, says President Roose
velt, who signe4 that law, Is
nothing but a "pious wish," with
out binding fotcc.
Congress also decreed, wisely
or foolishly but legally, that Paul
McNutt should be divorced from
the administration of the draft.
President Roosevelt, whose sig
nature approved this decree also,
says he Is going to take advant
age of another law to continue
McNutt's participation In the se
lective service setup.
Ain't we got fun?
The Story: When Dr. Gideon
Planish, editor of Rural Adult Ed
ucation anr former Dean of Kin
niklnlck College, learns that the
present executives of the Heskett
Rural School Foundation are not
cashing in sufficiently on the
Foundation funds, he sees infinite
possibilities. He is offered and
accepts the position of Managing
Secretary.

ft must not be thought that Dr.
Planish .did nothing at all as
managing secretary of the Hes
kett Foundation. He took part in
conferences, almost weekly con
ferences, promoted by colleges,
libraries, municipal forums, state
educational associations, and he
unflinchingly told these confer
ences that rural educ-itlon was a
fine idea. He sat op. committees,
and if the sitting was not actual
and physical, at )ust he had his
name on the rosters of commit
tees, scores of them. He benevol
ently allowed students to use the
pedagogical library which Miss
Nlmrock had collected, and he
supervised the publication of
three pr.mphlets prepared by uni
versity instructors who had con
cluded, after examining all the
figures issued by the state gov
ernments, that teachers could be
better paid and better heated.
This was called Research.
He was fond of these pamph-'
lets, because whenever his ac
counts looked a little confused, he
could always put down "printing
ana promotion as an item oi ex
pense. It was Indeed chiefly as a lit
erary man that Dr. Planish mark
edly Improved upon Miss Nlm
rock. He gave no larger financial
grants for school garden contests,
but he increased fourfold the
number of letters of advice sent
out monthly to rural educators:
advice on whether blackboards
should be greenboards or blue
boards, advise on reading poetry,
advice on the established code for
school Janitors. He sat dictating
oracles all day long, stopping only
to steal his Information from the
publications of Columbia Univer
sity, the Carnegie Foundation and
the Association lor Adult t-duca
tion.
was as yet merely in his prophetic
vision. Not for some time yet
would Organl-cd Philanthropy
rank eighth among the major in
dustries of the United States. But
already Dr. Planish could foresee
a wedding of generosity and effi
ciency which would make the
Crusades look like a bonus march,
and perceive that it was going to
be valuable for a scholar with a
wi!e and child to be stationed
close to this waxing flood of gold,
a a a
Despite Frlsby's doubting, Dr.
Planish prepared a new letter of
solicitation for the H.R.S.F.
Dear Friend of Education:
This letter isn't for you. We
know from our huge files that you
are sound on the subject of rural
education; you realize that unless
our country schools are just as
.well staffed and supplied as Hie
snootiest city private school, there
is no hope lor our neiovea Amer
ica In its race against world an
archy. But you have a friend who be
licves just as you and I do, but
doesn't know about the HES
KETT RURAL SCHOOL FOUN
DATION. He doesn't realize that
It he will take a mere $10.00 a
year from his cigar money, he can
make that sum do $1000 worth of
imperative national good and
make him a proud contributing
Member of the H.R.S.F.
He'll get all our publications
free, with the privilege of attend
ing our Conferences and hearing
the biggest men of tho nation ex
plain the solution of all rural
problems. And you, dear Defender
of Education, will be doing the
greatest good to the country by
telephoning to that Unknown
Friend of Ours and giving him
our address and greetings.
We can't locate your friend

kick through, the cost of the cam'
paign Is covered."
To the gratification of the Doc
tor's love for beautiful letters, 1.37
per cent of his prospects did
"kick through," and showed their
devotion to education by taking
out Foundation memberships.
Even Mr. Frisby was impressed.
Dr. Planish had been truly or
dained as a priest of Scientific
Philanthropy.
And as for the pamphlet Our
Secret Shame which was sent out
to prospects that was Bernar

cover on it.
(To Be Continued)
cutback had been ordered because
the army had all the engines and
parts for training pUnes that It
would need for the duration of
the war. There was no need for
military secrecy in this. This, in
fact, was bad news for Germany
and Japan. It could have been
broadcast to the axis, without re
vealing a single production figure,
just to let the super-races know
that ail this American productive
capacity that had been going into
training planes could now be con
centrated in the production of
combat planes.
This thing that nappenea at
Thompson Products is going to be
repeated thousands of times in
greater and less degree, all over
the country, in the next few years.
In the Detroit area alone, the end
of the war will mean layoffs for
perhaps half of the million and
a quarter workers now in war
production.
Right now, the manpower re
conversion problem provides no
great difficulty. There is still a
shortage of workers in nearly
every industry. Over-all employ
ment is still climbing. An optimis
tic view is that it will reach a
peak about mid-summer, then
carry along at an even level .till
the end of the war. Then watch
for the drop. It can be a nose
dive and crash, or a parachute
descent with a happy landing.
Such spotty unemployment as
now develops from cutbacks is
causing no great maladjustment
Working wives who took war jobs
out of patriotism are going back
to their families, old men back
to their rocking chairs, youngsters
back to their schools and liking
it. There are other Jobs for most
of those who want them and need
them. The obvious need is to plan
and to manage the job shifts so
there will be a minimum of un
employment That reguires a tre
mendous amount of Intricate doing.

Edson
By Peter Edson
(NEA Staff Corraapondcnt)
Telling the people the whole
truth and nothing but the truth
about the cancellation of war con
tracts, cutbacks and reconversion
to civilian indus
try Is going to be
twice as neces
sary as telling
them the facts
about the war.
Necessity for
maintaining mil
itary secrecy Is
a perfectly sound
reason for not
revealing where
all the war
plants are and how much of what
each is making. But in the re
adjustments to peace time pro
duction, there can be no excuse
for failing to explain to the pub
lic in the greatest detail why
every shift in employment and
production Is made. And if such
explanations are not made the
misunderstandings will be multi
plied into a post-war confusion
that will be far worse than any
thing developing in wartime.

As a literary man. Dr. Planish
alio composed the Hoskett Foun
dation's, first aggressive series of
fund-soliciting letters. Mr. frisby
Insisted that the Foundation had
enough funds so that it was not
worth the bother "trf circularize a
lot of fourfluxhcrs that you could
n't pry a sawbuck loose from with
dynirmitp," but Dr. Plani.sh saw it
more professionally, with the eye
of vision and of the Future.
The Biblical virtue of philan
thropy was In this era 'turning
Into something far nobler thun
the Impulsive handing out of a
quarter. It was no longer emotion
and friendliness, but Social Engi
neering, Planned -Giving, with a
purpose and a technique; It was
Big Business. Dr. Plamsh saw
that today the Good Samaritan
would not do anything so silly and
unsanitary as to pick up a man
who had 'fallen among hit-run
drivers. According to every rule
of First Aid, thP silly suburbanite
mlsht have killed the poor fellnw
by moving him. Today, the Sa
maritan would telephone to the
nearest hospital and say, 'Take
care of him. and when I come
again, I shall Increase my sub
script Ion to your nationwide chain
ot hospitals, now headed by that
great Organization Executive, lr.

Kltto thought It a rather shocking On its face, this situation
letter, and Mr. Frisby thought it
funny. But. in the technical term,
It "pulled." With the passion for
exactitude and flapping charts
which is part of the New Scien
tific Philanthropy, Dr. Planish
calculated that it cost ten cents to
send out the letter, including sta
tionery, postage, mimeographing,
filling In, the booklet, overhead,
and purchasing lists of persons
known to have been philanthropic
which were rather coarsely
known as "sucker lists," and
which were sold commercially,
like fly-paper. As the professional
saviors put It, "If one per cent of
the prospects on the sucker list
sounds completely cockeyed. Why,
at- this stage of the war, should
there be any cutbacks ln airplane
engines? With aircraft produc-:
tion goals I t 1944 set far above
production in 1943, why should
there be any layoffs and reduc
tions In hours in any aircraft
plant in the country"? To the
employes In the Thompson plants
affected by this cutback, the sit
uation undoubtedly did not make
sense, and If they were told no
more than was in the company's
announcement. It no doubt caused
a lot of needless worry.
