© ■®lu'rntatt County ¿journal Moro, Oregon Friday August 5, 1955 Sixty-Seventh Year No. 40 T h ese T h in g s We N ote By Giles L French < l> Surely one of the things to be considered in trying to find someone to blame for the aotion of the 21 who did not originally return to the United States after being in Communist hands is the governmental philosophy prevail ing when they were young. A par ental government can keep youth from assuming its proper res ponsibilities. T T W N Some one is always worrying about being paid too little. That’s not so bad. I t ’s the ones who are paid too much who should worry. T T W N Pacific Coast baseball is on the rocks. We’ve thought It might do better if less news attention was given to the majors and more to the local teams. T T W N The Oregon Journal’s sesqul- centennial issue of last Sunday was full of information about Oregon, its forest, water, fields, machines, horizons, hearth and history. Oregon doesn’t seem too excited about 150 years having elapsed since I>ewis & Clark came across the mountains to find the state. Maybe they think it was here all tlx? time. T T W N This session of congress may become more memorable for what it put off than for what it did. T T W N Politics makes strange bedfel lows and strange other things, too. Here in Oregon the attorney general Is suing the state. T T W N Television wasn’t necessary; radio was enough. Radio present ed a contest between What one could hear and what one could think or read. Radio won. Even without television it had been proven that mankind would ra ther hear than think. T T W N Those who “do something for the people” too often do so in the hope the people w ill do some thing for them. T T W N “ There are three things,” she said “ about which I make no effort to lie honest, my age, the number of fish I caught, and how I vote.” T T W N Wouldn’t it lx? tough to be mar ried to a modern wife and have to eat the stuff the published recipes Involve? T T W N Do you ever think about what w ill eventually happen to a gov ernment that takes over private business and distributes tax mon ey freely. It is burning the candle at both ends, reducing the source of taxes and raising taxes higher. T T W N We had some interest in the re cent Sunday magazine feature in which McKay talked about North west power and Neuberger talked about McKay. T T W N A man who’s prejudiced on the other side is sure a pain in the neck, Eh, Wayne? T T W N Talk of aiding mental illness by means of a survey proves the necessity for it. T T W N This was found on a navy wait ing room wall. For those whose ego Is alway In bloom, those in public life and without, we re commend it. Sometime when your ego’s in bloom, Sometime when you take It for granted You’re the best qualified in the room; Sometime When you feel that your going , Would leave an unfillahle hole; Just follow these simple Instruc tion- • And see how they humble your soul. Take a bucket and fill it with water, Put your hand in it up to the wrist, Pull it out, and the hole that’s remaining Is the measure of how you’ll be missed. You can splash all you wish when you’re active. You may stir up the water galore; But stop and you’ll find that In no time It looks quite the same as before.
