lilJILD ON OUR OWN
Against tlu* clamor, the gnashing o f teeth
ami the hot things said t»r thought about
telephone service in the east end o f the Tu
alatin valley, there is little comment that
seems to have much effect.
in the relatively close-knit community of
home-owners and o f small businessmen,
there seems to I k * unbelievable heat in pn>-
posals to grab the acting telephone utility
by the scruff o f its corporation neck and
give it the full and complete heav-ho in
favor of a larger corporation operating in
nearby Portland.
1’eople have grown accustomed to lmik for
miracles, for magic touchstones which over
night will solve all problems with a mini
mum o f effort expended. 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

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
