The more he has been favored mentally and materially by fortune, the more he owes to hid com­ munity. In discharge of that debt he is under obli­ gation to do for the community something for which he is paid materially—but he will receive intangible compensation. The obligation we owe our commun­ ity ia not a onee-in-a-while obligation, but a con­ tinual one, one which .should he limited only by abilities and opportunities. A true sense of civic responsibility springs from recognition of th is great obligation. Individual re­ sponse to it produces the civic leadership that as­ sures continuous, well balanced community develop­ ments—a development which provides for spiritual and social needs as well as for the physical and needs of the community. To those of constructive vision we owe the building together and building up of a community —from the group who recognize and accept com­ munity responsibility we may draw our inspiration for taking our share of civic responsibility and community • service. Our own Chamber of Commerce is launching an outlined, defini to campaign,. with a goal of a prosperous, well-welded community as the goal. We must not shirk our task. Use Home Products Today thore was a slip handed to the Courier, it was short and to the point for it said, “ Grants Pass consumers will he loyal to heme interests by in­ sisting that their grocer supplies Oregon grown products when quality and price are equal to those of outside products.” That one sentence has a lot of food for thought for the people of the city and oountry. A person may feel that his imvehasea do not amount to a great deal but a hundred or a thousand such purchases do mean a lot because these form the balk of the buying power of the community. • We are decidedly unfair to home production if wo fail to specify that we want produce grown, or articles made hi Josephine eounty, the Bogue Valley or Oregon. Our first duty ia to our owu growers and manufacturers. This goes for every line of production. The grower spends the money he makes in the city or country—or should spend it here if he makes his money in tho locality. The same with the man who manufactares something. He spends his money for local labor, who in turn spend their money lrnre. It i s ' impossible to look at the matter in any dif- Statistics are said to r I iow that $560,000,(XX) fire loss was suffered in United States last year or something like $5 for each individual iu the coun­ try. At this rate Ashland was entitled, as it were, to a $30,000 loss, which we did not get by a long ways. Guess someone else must be receiving meat ef our part of thia great destruction of prop­ erty, Hit we wiH not quarrel about i t Statistics, particularly when based upon esti­ mates, are apt to say seme peculiar things. There may he conimunitire whose loss from fire will aver­ age $5 jmjt head over a period of years but they are certainly not cotamon in this section. Possibly im­ mense losses from forest fires account for this seemingly preposterous total. Our losses are plenty high enough br are our iaeuremee fates and efforts to do away with fire risks are well worth while. The chief constable of one of the British eitioR h$s eXpresned the opinion that “i f a {»edegtrian ware as careful an the average motorist, many of whom drive fart, > bat safely, there would be fewer aceidents. Walking to the common danger seems to be more prevalent than driving to the com­ mon danger.” friends are hoping that Borah w ill support th e ir n a n . Insofar as they are eonoerned, Hoover aad Borah weuM make a great national ticket. Borah might conceivably consent to such an - arrangement, despite bis refusal to run w ith Coolidge in 1914, but there may be even more- implies- tlons. Seppeee the Hoover strength at the convention, when it be­ comes apparent that Hoover can’t win in the face of eastern and ag­ rarian opposition, turns to Bor­ ah? The present dope is that neither Hoover ner Borah can win the nomination, hut if such a development should come It would bring Borah mush nearer to the nomination than he hue ev­ er been before. No close pepsonal friendship exists between Hoover aad Borah such as ie found between Lowden end Dawes, hat la some respects thslr Interests are the «ame. Hoover has a passionate desire to be president and thinks be has a chance. Borah would like to be president, too. but he bus uo illu ­ sion* which allow him to thin k that he oan get the nomination under the party’s present set-up.
