Sixty-Second Year No- 43 T h e se T h in g s We N ote by Giles L. French Basically the urge that mo tivates officials to consolidate government must come from an inborn conceit Federal officials want to control water and power resources because they think they* can do a better or more politically profitable . Job than local or state officials. 4 In the long run fewer ideas would go into the development under a single agency than under an ag ency manned by local, state and federal officials. And the compe tition of ideas has been a large factor in the development of this nation. TTWN .‘Oh give me a dame with an up holstered frame, A dame who is built like a pillow. To hpck with the resV— Just give me a chest* That mpves up and down like a billow.” —Tillamook County News TTWN The Spartans, doughty old Greeks who kept their civiliza tion alive for many centuries, paid particular attention to the physically and mentally fit, and in fact, were pretty rough on the w e a k . -Modern tendency is to pay most attention to the weak. wn iw m Census figures _ show that housing units in Sherman coun ty have dropped from 866 to 745 which, of course, is an error be cause many new buildings have been built in Sherman county in the last ten years and few have burned. But then, who believes g o v e rn m e n t figures anyway, TTW N Soon it will be time for the adherents of fancy time and the upholders of the standard to get together on what time it should be. That will be a happy day for the office clock. That instru ment carried two hour hands around and around for a part of the summer, a red one for the fast and a black one for the reg ular, but no one seemed to under stand so, of late, the clock has not run at all. It just stands in frustrated confusion. Visitors look at it and say “The clock isn’t running” which Is apparent most of the day. That is better than having them argue and ac cuse the clock of unfaithfulness to something. TTW N Criticism of Secretary of De fense Johnson for firing some 100,000 civilian employees is plenty but not important now. Theie’s a lot of them left. It is not so much that he fired a bunch of them but that the ones who remained did little. It is not civ ilian employees we lack in this war; it is men and equipment. Had twice the number of civilian employees been fired and the money put into tanks it would have been good policy, if if If Everything American eventu al y becomes too highly organic ed We have too many officers, vice-presidents; too few workers.
