So it is with con siderations of Pacific Telephone and Tele graph. Enthusiastic petitioners go blissfully forth, armed with the necessary paper for signatures, not revealing by one whit who it is behind such an idea or what it might mean should the Portland firm find it pos- sihle to move into the service area. The West Coast Telephone company is not without its faults, as anyone who uses the phone service can verify. But, with fair- minded, constructive criticism, we might nevertheless acknowledge that best results will come from working with the company in whose hands the franchise for business rests. All o f the Tualatin \alley is in u.c throes o f a vigorous development and prow*' Portland, officially and unofficially, is well aware o f this fact and only recently has compiled results o f its housing survey to reduce the truism to figures, percentages and trends. The West Coast Telephone company, in its planning and engineering for the future, has proved unable to keep up with the de mands for service that have built up. along with Till the new people who have moved in! An impatience-breeding situation it is. but on the strength of the effort 7i is making to serve local applicants, the company can not be fairly defamed for its part in the present phone situation. • There are some who believe a Portland telephone connection would result in a low er. fairer phone bill at the end o f the month, because toll charges would be eliminated. W ith higher basic cost for the local service, would the difference really I k * as significant as some might claim? Under the present setup, a phone user pays for his calls to the big city in propor tion to his calls. There is no penalty imposed upon the user who confines his calls to the local service area. Without question, a heavy user of the toll service is imposed upon severely but a more effective source to appeal for a reduction in toll rates is the l’ UC, which sets the call charge. For any community which values an ident ity other than Portland— and it might sur prise you some do— little is gained by asking for the noose on the end o f rope readied to pull you into Portland's city limits. A phone service independent o f Portland helps maintain identity apart from Portland, l/ct’s work together, with the goal in mind o f having improved, local service and build on our ow n ! TH E STORY OF E ASTE R Celebrated on Sunday is the Resurrection o f Christ from the dead. Across the face of the entire globe, with notable exceptions, throngs o f worshippers will observe Easter Sunday and by song and scripture the lesson o f the day will be re vi tali m l. The story o f Fester is one of great sig nificance. It marks, for the Christian world, a great foundation stone for religious faith, it is a dramatic victory o f Christian ity that has lost none o f its heroic stature in all o f 20 centuries. Peace and compassion and gentleness art' accepted as tenets o f the Christian faith. The miracles performed by Christ were not primarily exhibitions o f His great powers. They were manifestations o f compassion and rewards for believing. They were part o f a wider, more vital lesson than a demonstra tion o f the occult. So. at the outset, the great conflict the Son of God occasioned upon the earth seems so cruel and revolting that it seems another part o f the story o f Christianity. Yet. in truth, the betrayal, the trial and the cruci fixion o f Christ bring a realism to His so journ upon the earth that cannot he denied. Should anyone make s comparable effort to prove to Mankind the road to salvation and eternal life, in this age. he would have hea|HHl upon him all the ignominies and shame that were the lot o f Christ. And the reward Tor such enlightenment would be a comparable crown o f thorns and a nailing to tne enws. Christ was reviled in scorn and deep hat red. Few, indeed, were there to acknowledge Him and to stand with llim as He labored Iteneath the burden o f the cross, in a crowd of nightjM>er* who milled about him. leering and shouting insults upon a man they felt SUBSCRIPTION RATES Payable In Advance Wash * ( inf Y.'iu Multnomah Counties J2U0 Two Yeara - - -------- Three Y e a r » ______ _ ■■— Six months ...... . «7 5 5.00 1.50 IN OREGON One Year ___________ __ _ $2.50 O TH E R STATES One Year ........... ............. «0 0 was condemned. The climactic events that followed the Crucifixion set the doubters and detractors back upon their heels. Out o f the rock- blocked tomb Christ arose in magnificent triumph and in his subsequent visitations established the concepts o f Christianity that have persisted through the centuries that followed. By the fact o f Resurrection were confirm ed all o f Christ’s teaching. From this Victory over Death, has come the foundation o f faith which is the continuing story o f Blaster. * * * People make news. In the manifold tasks from which appears a weekly edition o f your community news paper, there are decisions that must l>e made and concepts o f service that must be follow ed. The ideals of fairness and accuracy are reid values which influence the presentation o f all articles, as far as is humanly possible. People make news. The importance o f correctly spelling a name, for instance, has paramount priority. Nothing is more personally significant than one’s name. And no one likes to have his name misspelled or misstated. People make news. In the roundup o f events presented within the format o f your weekly newspaper, there is the matter o f selection which is imposed by the amount o f space available. So, on one] week when the supply o f news exceeds the space for its publication, some stories are left out. Sometimes announcements o f ‘meet ings and social events are “ lost by the way- side" because they were received tin» late or for some other reason failed to I k * included in the type used. People make news In the matter o f news sources, every e f fort is made to determine a reliable starting point. Public records furnish a dependable source o f stories, alerting the public to trends and happenings that may well be translated to the close circle o f iK*rsonal problems. People make news. Oftentimes news breaks might possibly embarrass people whom they concern. This is a common fact, felt by most anyone in timately connected with a newspaper, one time or another. And when such news con cerns or affects those whom we consider our friends, it takes determination to treat the matter with complete fairness. People make news. In many lines o f business endeavor, where policy is not too vitally a concern o f public service, friendship may W* a protective bar rier. a sort o f cushion, which allows special treatment and favor. A newspaper, however, is not living up to its traditional position in a community if it follows this idea. People make news. Sometimes readers, who otherwise have a friendly feeling for a newspaper, lash out in blind anger when they are touched by a story that is published. Their anger is not directed to the act that was reported; rather to the person or persons who report the fact on record as entered in a column of news. People make news. Dealing with people requires tact. The fairest procedure, however, seems to In* com parable treatment to all. whether known or strangers to the person so treating the ac count. Strangers, as well as friends, have a common disaffection for unfavorable news. But the job o f reporting requires that unfa vorable news I k * printed, along with the "fa -, vorable.“ People make news. Sometimes the service o f news coverage goes even further than is first supposed. Trends have a way of becoming a pattern o f social behavior. When incidents are re ported they effect a change before they crystalize into a trend. And while a few readers shrink before the cold words that report an item unfavorable to them, perhaps Society as a whole will be benefitted. People make news. We would like nothing le tte r than to print glowing, congratulatory stories about e v e r y thing and everybody in the news. But peo ple are not always in the midst o f such events. Sometimes the hardest story to write is one that will embarrass or sadden someone, because o f w hat people have dime But we have no choice. People make news. • • * t'hdd and Youth week, beginning April 10. will feature a statewide conference on chil dren and youth to be held in the state house in Salem.
