Newsboys Shake Capital Journal carrier Clay Rambo
receives a congratulatory handclasp from Governor Douglas
McKay, a former newsboy. The governor told Clay that a
newspaper route was excellent preparation for later life and
said he had carried route 13 for the Oregonian as a youth in
Portland. The event marked official recognition of Newsboys'
day.
WE BOW TO NEWSBOYS
Day Dedicated to Plucky
Lads Who Bring Your Papers
They have no temples, save those where the presses roar. No
lounging places with stuffed chairs, for they have no idle hours.
They wear no uniforms, have no ritual, and stage no parades.
Yet the newspaperboys are one of the world's great fraterni
ties, their membership among the largest. Their badge is a sense
of duty a spiritual thing that
seems to stay with them through
life. For newspaper carriers may
be of any age from the 'teens on
ward. No gray-haired business
man who used to hurl papers
against the doors on a city route
has ever been known to relin
quish his membership in the
lodge.
This is National Newspaper
boys' day. To them the day is
dedicated .It is a good time to
recognize the vital part the car
rier plays in the newspaper
business and the community
life.
Are you eager for the latest
news of the day's most interest
ing story? Or maybe it's some
thing about yourself good
news we'll hope , something
you've achieved in your busi
ness, the wife's party, or the
daughter's wedding. Or it may
be the big ad from your store
that interests you. The best re
porters and ad writers couldn't
help you if it weren't for the co
operation of the boy on the bi
cycle. He is the link between the
press and the people.
Neither the hottest August
sun, nor flooded gutters, nor icy
winter streets can baffle that
boy of the early 'teens. He car
ries your paper and delivers.
Sometimes he misses, you
complain. Sure. So do you. And
so do all of us in our life jobs.
Sometimes the star halfback
fumbles, or the top pitcher has a
bad Inning. It's only decent that
all men and boys be Judged
by their averages. And it's a
good bet that the carrier's aver
age is a little higher than that of
his elders.
It's traditional that a very
large 'percentage of men who
have become successful in Am
erica got their start carrying
newspapers. That can be seen at
first hand in Salem or any other
community. Let's name a few of
them here at home.
David W. Eyre, vice president
of the United States National
bank of Portland, was once in
charge of Capital Journal car
riers. And his carriers were: Leo
Page, now assistant cashier of
the Salem branch of that bank;
E. Max (Bing) Page, now just
ice of the Oregon supreme j
court: and Dr. Floyd Utter, sue- j
cessful dentist. ;
Besides that job Dave Eyre'
. took care of the "want ad" de-,
partment and helped in the
mailing room, all for $6 a week, j
jpause of work well done he
...is recommended for the Job of
messenger for the United States
National bank of Salem and be
came its president.
"It's wonderful training to be
a newspaper boy," he says.
And here is a list picked at
random of other Capital Journ
al carriers who have gone on to
success: Dr. Waldo Mills is a
chest surgeon in Seattle. John
Lindbeck was graduated from
the naval academy at Annapolis
and is now a lieutenant com
mander in the United States
navy. Dr. Ronald S. Haines is an
orthopedic surgeon of Phoenix,
Ariz. Lt. Col. Milton Taylor,
still a young man, advanced ra
pidly in the United States army.
Dr. Arthur Fisher is a successful
Salem physician. Warren Wolfe
is now working for his master's
degree in art at the Kansas City
Art institute. He received his
BA degree at the University of
Oregon. He carried newspapers
for seven years and saved mon
ey to put him through college.
There are many others.
One of the Capital Journal's
outstanding carriers now is Clay
Rambo. Regardless of a visual
handicap Clay has carried pa
pers since April, 1944. He has
won several prizes, including
three savings bonds.
From his savings he bought a
Ford tractor and is an outstand
ing member of the Future Farm
ers of America. With the help
of I. L. Stout he farmed 40 acres
of wheat, oats, vetch, clover,
flax and sweet corn and has won
20 blue ribbons at state and
county fairs.
Capital Journal carriers are
young business men. They buy
their papers and sell them at a
just margin of profit. And, be
ing business men, they can't op
erate without capital. That s a
good thing to remember when
the carrier punches the button
on your front door.
Twenty years from now he
may be the man who loans you
money, or sells you a bill of
merchandise or edits your fav
orite newspaper.

Walter Anderson of Hubbard, shown with the new type of
solid wall construction building block which he has invented
and on which he has applied for a patent. He will start manu
facture of the material soon.
Hubbard Man Inventor of
New Kind of Building Blocks
Woodburn Walter Anderson of Hubbard has invented a new
type building block for solid wall construction of homes, cabins
and business buildings which promise a new industry for this
area.
Samples developed by Anderson were first displayed at the
Oregon State Fair and more re-
cently at the North Marion coun
ty fair at Woodburn. The sam
ples were also shown at a fair in
Yakima last week on the screen
by J. C. Anderson, coordinator
of inventions.
Anderson expects to start pro
duction soon. Walls of buildings
constructed with these blocks
consist of relatively thick tongue
and groove material in two thick
nesses, the tongue and gnove
offset in two layers in insure
tight wall construction. The
pieces are random lengths up
to 20 feet. The two walls are
nailed together at the tongues
to insure rigidity without the
necessity of studding or having
any nail heads showing.
The corners of the buildings
are put together by interlocking
cutaways on the ends of tne
lumber. Insulation sheets can
be placed between the two walls
The interior can be molded or
curved for any desired finish
The building blocks can be made
from lumber, pumice, and other
materials at a low cost. They
can also be glued for plastering.
sanded for papering or painting
and also glued for tile effect,
Anderson has applied for a
patent on the idea.
Counties Swing
To Republicans
Republican organization re
ceived concentrated attention
October 1 and 2 at a Portland
meeting of the Republican state
central committee, attended by
Mrs. Paul Ficke of Salem, mem
ber of the state executive com
mittee. State republican Chairman
Sig Unander of Portland report
ed that since the last election,
Clackamas and Linn countiej
have swung into the republican
column in voter registrations.
All 36 Oregon counties now
have active party organizations,
according to Unander's report,
with Wheeler county being the
most recently organized county
in the state.
A statewide clean-up of coun
ty registration rolls to assure
up-to-date voters' lists was urg
ed by the committee, in response
to a charge made by Leslie Ross
of Bend, Deschutes county
chiarman, who stated that 3000
voters' pamphlets were return
ed by the post office as non
deliverable in Deschutes county
at the last general election. He
urged that county clerks purge
the rolls in accordance with
;tate law, which he said requires
that after every general election
those who have not voted in the
past two elections be dropped.

mood just now so will leave thot for
" some future dote.
Tom Curry and myself went fish-

lucky stiff) ties into a 35 lb. Chinook himself so we had
q a good and enjoyable doy even tho I ran true to form
j ond got skunked. I am a little disappointed in the
g results from this ad. A lot of people tell me they enjoy
these ads ond some day will come out and eat with us
