MEMBER OF OREGON NEWSPAPER PUBLISHERS ASSN. BE GENEROUS Harold Bowerman and his loyal band of Red Cross solicitors started the difficult and time-consuming task of collecting badly needed Red Cross funds Monday. The continuance of the County blood bank and other vital Red Cross services depend entirely on the cur rent campaign for funds. Help your neighbor and friend, the Red Cross solicitor, by cheerfully donating on the first call. Their time is valuable and your dollars are need ed, so be generous! V AI .LEY HOUSE-CLE A NIN'G With the approach of the main tourist season and the trickle of out- of-state cars increasing daily, busi nessmen and home property owners should be sprucing up store and home liiildings and lots. Although no official clean-up and paint-up week has been declared, the revenue Cave Junction derives from the tourist trade makes a clean and presentable town a good investment. The Illinois Valley Garden club is constantly striving to improve the ap pearance of the surrounding country side. Decorator’s Supply, Illinois Valley Hardware and Cave Building Sup plies and probably other local mer chants would be glad to aid owners of business and residential buildings in selecting and financing a few cans of bright, new paint.

MOUNTING COSTS Newspaper publishers are always reticent to raise subscription rates but like everyone else, get hungry when the cupboard gets bare. Although the 50-cent rate increase announced in this week’s news is re grettable, it is necessary in these days of spiraling costs and the Truman dollar. Every businessman can recall the days of yesteryear when prices’ at least sounded sensible. For instance before Pearl Harbor roll newsprint delivered in New York brought $50 a ton. That same ton now brings $116, with another hike of $10 expected any day, having already been announced by Canadian newsprint manufactur ers. For the Illinois Valley News that same ton, cut to size and delivered, handily exceeds $200 per ton. Like wise the Oregon printer once worth possibly $1.20 an hour now receives upwards of $2.80 an hour. But people are becoming some what accusomed to paying more and more and even more for staple com modities such as their community newspaper. There is one easy way out for the economy-minded subscriber, how ever. During the 5-week grace period readers can subscribe or renew tor as many years in advance as desired—at the old rates.
