ASHLAND D A IL Y T ID IN G S O U T
History Repeats Itself
At a peace conference in York, England, the
other day a delegate named S ir Hugh Trenchard
told his colleagues that he was in favor o f entirely
obliterating all aviation 'both civil and m ilitary,
because of the harm that m ight be done by flying.
H istory repeats itself.
Old John Gutenberg should have been there to
put his cards on the table and explain that 500
y e a n ago he listened to a similar argum ent Old
John m ight point ca t if he coal'd that to d a y there
are hundreds of thousands o f printing p r e sse s.in
daily operation, newsboys with heavy armloads of
newspapers crying their wares on thousands of
street com ers, that since his time and because o f the
idea bom of his brain thousands o f tremendous
printed libraries have been built up, and hundreds
o f thousands of books, pamphlets and m agazines
are printed every hour.
This B ritisher’s argument fo r the abolishment
of aviation would have been a twice-told tale indeed
to sturdy old John. It would have carried him hack
in amusing memory to that day when he had finished
his first printing press after years o f labor, and
when the “ good voices” spoke to him and argued
him into gnashing it with a hammer “ because
o f the harm that m ight be done by printing,” by
so widely dissem inating to everybody both the
truths and the falsehoods o f the falsehoods o f the

world.
,
John would remember, however, th at although
he did smash his printing press w ith his hammer,
his idea was more malleable, and could not be
broken. The pointing press was bom in his mind
and his imagination, and of his efforts, and once
bora would live forever in spite of hammers, how- ■
ever destructively directed.
•
John could tell this English pacifist a good many
things. He could tell him that m en’s ideas are
immortal and cannot die, and he could assure him
that men w ill be flyin g 500 years from now, or
5000 years from now, just a s there is and w ill be
printing in spite o f the “ good vo ices.”
Aviation, like printing, is here to stay, for good
or eviL E ither one m ay be good or bad, or both,
as they are directed. Printing has been sometimes
bad, perhaps, because it proved w ings for false
hood, but it also proved w ings for truth, and truth
Burely needed w ings when John Gutenberg made
his first printing press.
The program w ith aviation is not whether to
keep it, bnt how to use it well.

Tell The World About It!
Twenty-three dead, many more injured, great
property loss — that is the story o f the Arkansas
tornado. The northern part of the state Was swept
by a devasting storm. A path o f death and destruc
tion was leveled by the twister.
There is nothing particularly new about this.
Tornadoes and cyclones are freipient through that
section o f the United States. To the inhabitants
one cyclone, more or less* is bnt a passing event in
their lives. They know they have them and there
fore they are expected.
It has always been difficult to understand why
people prefer to live in the shadow <rf constant
danger. For centuries Vesuvine has been a live and
active volcano and during all of those centuries, up to
the present time, people havo lived mi its sides.
Probably it is because they do not know there
are other sections o f the country where cyclones
and tornadoes are unknown, and if they knew that
such sections existed ,' they might decide to move
out of the danger sone in which they Jive.
While Arkansas was experiencing a tornado,
Oregbn was enjoying mild fall weather, rain falling
at intervals in the valleys and snow in the moun
tains, storing away m oisture for use during an
other year when bounteoas crops w ill be grown and
harvested.
There are no cyclones or tornadoes in Oregon,
but nobody w ill ever know about it unless we find
some way o f telling them.
Southern Oregon’s climatic news should lie per
sistently broadcasted.
