THE CITY COMMISSION
Changes in the personnel of Bend's city administration
leave us with a feeling of admiration for the outgoing mayor,
Fred S. Simpson and with feeling of gratification that Bend
should have available for new membership .on the commission
a young business man .with the high ideals and undoubted
abilities of Louis H. Helphrey.
It seems unlikely that these statements should require
explanation, but whether or no it is certainly not amiss to
point out that Fred Simpson had been three times elected to
the commission, that he could have gone on being elected as
often as he chose to run, that his was a fine type of civic-
mindedness which prompted him to withdraw from public
life when he reached the conclusion that another could better
carry on.
It is equally in keeping to call attention to the record of
the man who succeeds Fred Simpson on the commission, al
though not in the mayor's chair. For the greater part of the
past decade, Louis Helphrey successfully managed one of
Bend's more Important industrial and distributing businesses.
He entered the army, reached the rank of major, was given
assignments of especial importance in his overseas service. A
medical discharge is of fairly recent date.
Twice elected to the commission, A. T. (Andy) Niebergall,
who takes over the duties of mayor, must run again this fall
if he wishes to continue to serve. Whether he wishes or not,
we feel confident that the people of bend will wish him to do
so. Unassuming, methodical, hard-working, he does the same
sort of job for the city that he would expect an employe to do
for him. That means that it must be well done.
As has been mentioned in the news, not only the new
mayor and the new commissioner, but also the man who, until
yesterday was the junior member of the commission, must.
Ptand for election this fall. Loyde S. Blakley is that former
junior member. Like Helphrey, he is an appointee. Like Hel
phrey, he has an excellent business background and that
background is of the industry which has been the busic in
Bend's development. It will be well for Bend if Loyde Blakley,
as has generally been expected, will also stand for election
ond it will be still better if all three now on the commission
are continued in public service. J

Salute to a Jxtdy
By Victoria Wolf

HBA Mrdea, la
The Democratic convention yesterday afternoon booed
Mrs. Fred Nooney, of Florida, when she nominated Senator
Harry F. Byrd, of Virginia, for the presidency. Chairman
Jackson chided the convention for its ungentlemanly conduct
but the observers recalled how Byrd's colleague, Carter Glass,
was booed at the 1940 convention and decided that so long as
the new deal boo-sters were in charge this was what could be
expected. Obviously, F.D.R. will have no other head rising out
of the crowd.

' Keynoter Kerr built up a big demonstration Wednesday
night at Chicago when he asked whether there should be dis
carded as "tired old men" Admiral Nimitz, 69, Admiral Hal
sey, 64, General MacArthur, 66 and General Marshall, 64.
Then came the punch line about the 62-year-old commander-in-chief.
It was big stuf f but the orator forgot to mention the
illnesses his 62-year-old boss has recently beeh through
against none for the war leaders he named.
It is not true that those eggs that spoiled on the cars at
Yakima had been intended for use on the Mississippi, the
Texas and the Virginia delegations at Chicago yesterday but
Kot sidetracked on the way. The sewer superintendent was
not in action this time.

Today's guest star will be a
citizen named Thomas Jefferson
who, some years ago, wrote let
ters saying he would like to retire
from public life and go back to his
farm. Any similarity to any other
letter written by a living prcsi-"
dent, saying that he would like to
retire from public life and go back
to his country estate is, of course,
purely coincidental.

Church of Germantown:

1 am going to Virginia. I have
at length become able to fix that
to the beginning of the new year.
I am then to be liberated from
the hated occupations of politics
and to remain in the bosom of my
family, my farm and my books. I
have my house to build (that is,
remodeling of Monticello), my
fields to farm, and to watch for
the happiness of those who labor
for mine. I have one daughter
married to a man of science,
sense, virtue and competence;
in whom indeed I have nothing
more to wish. They live with me.
If the other (Maria) shall be as
fortunate, in due process of time
I shall imagine myself as blessed
as the most blessed of the pat
riarchs." a a a

"Having had the honor of com

of Secretary of State at the end
of the month of September, you
were pleased, for particular rea

daily more and more irresistible, i

presidency. Adams won, 71 to 68
votes in the electoral college, so
