HARMONY Grand Jury Reports lo Judge Wilson on Mat ters Heard By It Centura Butinen Men for Leaving Temptation in Way of Young Law Infractor Harmony should be the one thing in everything pertaining to the pub lic. Without harmony our schools churcher, societies and business generally would be a ship without a rudder, a heating stove without fuel in a blizzard, and a disrupting in fluence along all lines. EspeciJly is it necessary to have harmony in the schools and churches. Many a rift has developed in those institutions because of factional disagreements, personal ambitions and other causes. Whole communi ties have split into factions because of personal ambitions and many church has been broken up by one or two persons showing a desire to cither rule or ruin such bodies. Chrkt said, "As ye would that others should do unto you do ye also unto them." The Savior did not im ply that one or two or three persons should rule His houses; He did not mean that one or two or three per sons' ideas were superior to all others and that they should be list ened to and catered to to the detri ment of the whole church. Instead He meant that a spirit of harmony should prevail and that His teachings should be incentive for humility in all. Mnupin has but one Protestant chuch and that has been verging up on disruption. Classes have been fostered and a feeling of antagonism set up by a dissatisfied power-: eek ing element Fortunately, however, right has prevailed and again our church haa taken on new life and promises to grow into an institution of great moral worth and to exert a real influence in matters of civic welfare. All is harmonious there and it is the firm intenion of everyone to continue in harmony and that no future chasms be allowed to cleave the feeling of brotherly love. A FREEDONM LOVING NATION The effect on American life of firearms has always been a healthly one. The love of sport and hunting, inherited from English forefathers, has made for both physical and men tal alertness. It is this phase of the American character, the love of sport and the right to protection, that has made independent and liberty-loving citi zens unfriendly to laws prohibiting the sale and use of small arms. Guns have been used for unlawful pur poses and so have automobiles, ships and mails; yet no one would think of abolishing them. The fact that criminals are well supplied with revolvers, knives, poison, hammers, ases, rope wire, dynamite and simi lar articles, iz certainly no reason for forbidding their use to law-abid-ding citizens for lawful and neces sary purposes. Quicker and more severe punishment for the wrongdoer is a better cure Crime waves have proven our many "concealed weapon" statute: useless. And yet still more stringent ones are being proposed, apparently in the interest of the criminal, by politicians who seem without know ledge of the situation. A freedom loving people will oppore them and see that the honest citizen's consti tutional right to own guns is not im paired. An optimist Is a motorist who starts out with poor brakes, no spare, a knock in the motor, and who wires 250 miles ahead for hotel reservations. If all the autos in the United States were placed end to end it would be Sunday afternoon. Gibbt Back In Town Dan Gibbs, the itinerant harness maker, has returned to his Maupin shop after a time spent in the Wren tham section. Dan may be found at his place of business, the Morris of fice shack, in case there are any who desire his cervices as doctor of ail ing harness and horse collars. ' Maupin Has 11 Dogs Marshal Dcrthick has been around collecting dog licenses the past week, to far having succeeded in enriching the town's exchequer to the amount of $21.00. There are four more owners of dogs to be collected from, then the full number of dogs in Mau pin will have been secured from the deadly aim of our peace officer. The September county grand jury has rendered a report of its activities to Judge F. W. Wilson, giving th result of deliberations, the ca es heard and making recommendations regarding jail visitors and other mat tcrs brought before it. The report follows: To Hon. F. W. Wilson, Circuit Judge: We, the Grand Jury drawn at the September, 1927, term of court, re spectfully report that we have been in session three days since convened by your order on February 7, 1928, and we have completed our invest! (ration of all matters that have come to our attention. We have examined twenty-nine witnesses and have re turned eight true bills, involving ten defendents. We are returning no not true bills. We have one special recommendation in the case of one with the district attorney. Moreover we have gone into two other investigations where we are returning neither true bills nor not true bills. The first of these other investigations involves, the workings of a gang of boys that have been committing petty larcenies around The Dalles. It developes that two of the boys hr.ve been in the reform school of this state and are now on parole therefrom. We think that that they should be returned to that in titution. We further think that it is proper for the juvenile court to take jurisdiction of the other child ren as delinquent or dependent children. In this connection we take the opportunity to make two side re marks: In the first place the boys belonging to this gang stole milk bottles, food, and po.sibly some fuel. The food was taken from one of the large manufacturing firms of The Dalles and the circumstances under which the food was kept was practi cally an invitation to the theft there of. We do not choose to name any particular business institutions, but we do think that in this particular case here was carelessness in the keeping of the food or produce, which amounted practically to an in vitation to a family in need to filch the stuff. However the second ob sevation we make is one which we feel should be given wide publicity in The Dalles. We find that it is apparently the custom for many of the storekeepers to buy milk bottles promiscuously from irresponsible kids. We could name these store keepers if we choose to do so, and we feel that such persons who make a practice of buying milk bottles from irresponsible kids are morally guilty parties to the theft of the bottles. We feel that the merchant ought to take this matter up among them selves and tee that they mutually en force a rule to the effect' that milk bottles will be purchased only from customers known to them. At this sesson we have learned that on account of the crowded con dition of the jail, pos ibly largely due to the fact that Wasco county is now temporarily taking care of the Umatilla prisoners, promiscuous visiting of prisoners is considerable of a nuisance to the authorities; and that it is not possible, when promi scuous visiting of prisoners is per mitted, to take any precautions against introduction of prohibited articles into the jail. We do not feel equal to setting out rules which we think should govern this visiting of prisoners, but we suggest and urge that the county court, in consulta tion with the sheriff, promulgate visitors' rules, such as prescribing certain days and hours when vir.its may be made, and perhapg prescrib ing some reasonable limitation on the lengths of vists. We leave this mat ter to the county court, but we strongly urge that something along that line be carried out. Also we believe that the councy court should avail itself of the man power in the councy jail by way of excavating or working arcmd the county farm, or on the roads or in public parks. We understand that we will strain !be reconvened as a grand jury dar ling May, and we request the citizens :of the county to appear before ur; at that time to present any alleged violations of the criminal law, and we ask them to call to our attention individually any matters needing in vestigation between now and then. Dated at The Daller, Oregon, this 9th day of February, 1928. Signed by C. B. Remington, Foreman, and six other members of the grand jury.

TTDn P(IDILnDY IT A STATEMENT by GENERAL MOTORS E -T is the policy of Gen eral Motors to maintain continuous improvement, in every one of its car divisions, with no interrup tion in production. This means that you enjoy the benefits of new engineering developments promptly just as soon as they have been thoroughly tested on the 1245-acrc Proving Ground. It means that you can now order the new Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Oakland, Buick, LaSalle, Cadillac, or GMC Truck, and receive immediate delivery. Behind this policy of continuous improvement is an organization so widespread and resourceful that it can make and sell quality automobiles more economically than any automobile manu facturer in the world. In the north and south it logs and mills its own lumber. In the cast it makes its own ball bearings and radiators. In the middle west it produces its own plate glass. Its plants are busy in 33 important American cities. From almost 5,000 suppliers, its materials are obtained steel by the hundreds of thousands of tons wire by the tens of thousands of miles upholstery by the acre nuts, bolts and washers by the millions. Its sales and service take place through 33,000 dealers. More than 275,000 families look directly to General Motors for their liveli hood almost a million and a half men, women and children in every community in the land. Meaning so much to so many, General Motors has felt a supreme obligation to look ahead. Are there methods by which General Motors cars can be better built to better serve? Are there new ideas which can increase the utility and pleasure and safety of motoring? Are there new materials which can add to owner satisfaction? Such are the questions that all General Motors engineers have always asked. The answers have made it possible, year after year, to offer an in creasing measure of beauty in design, modern performance, riding comfort and distinct style. Thus in every price class, from Cadillac to Chevro let, purchasers arc constantly benefiting from the General Motors policy of progress. general motors "A car for every puna and purpoie " CLIP THE COUPON Q n a D GtM;iiA, Motors (Dept.
