THE TRUTH WILL
YES, IT COULD BE SILENCED!
Ashland residents who have been brought bolt up­
right in bed by the sudden screaming of the fire de­
partment s siren will be glad to learn that some day
mat motor driven hell-box atop the Pioneer building
might become unnecessary.
The siren—which will blow your hat oft at JU
yards—is used to call volunteer firemen. When and
if the fire company is provided with new quarters
with sleeping accommodations for a half dozen or so
volunteers, blowing of the siren will be unnecessary,
according to Chief Clint Baughman.
Not only would larger quarters eliminate the ear­
drum stinging blasts, but also would give the city
better fire protection and result in lowered insurance
rates. Too, silencing the siren might do away with
those dangerous automobile parades which answer the
alarm at break-neck speed.
So next time the thing scares the daylights out of
you and ruins a night’s slumber, say a little prayer
for a new fire hall.

THE LAZY PEOPLE TRAVEL!
Some things tax a reasonable person’s patience be­
yond endurance. Such is the case with the recent influx
of assorted panhandlers, moochers, sodden transients
and gadget-peddlers which has descended on southern
Oregon like Mormon crickets in a truck garden.
What makes the migration most irritating, how­
ever, is its coincidence with reports from upstate that
pickers have not been found for ripening berry crops.
Where growers need 150 pickers, 15 are available.
Yet day after day dozens of able-bodied, husky men
and women interrupt local business with extended
palms and mumbled hard-luck stories. Jobs are im­
possible to find, they say, and always they’re in the
final stages of acute malnutrition.
Produce ripening and rotting on the ground for
lack of labor in one part of the state, panhandlers
thick in another. Is it any wonder that an harrassed
people become short-tempered with the legion of
gimme-guys who always manage to be where work
isn’t?

THE WISH COLORS THEIR REASONING!
When beef is to be chawed, there seems to be noth­
ing quite so much to the liking of politicians as Ar­
gentine beef.
Protest has been loud and widespread since Presi­
dent Roosevelt ordered a navy purchase of a few
thousand pounds of South American corned beef.
Judged from the volume and pitiful tone of the im­
mediate protestations, one might be led to believe
that the American beef market had been sabotaged.
Louder plaint would not have resulted if the adminis­
tration had forbid fertility on the American range.
Doubtless the President knew well the opportunity

LX3R some time the treasury de­
partment has had the problem
of buying the world's output of
gold on its hands. Lately another
foreign exchange headache has
cropped up. According to the Fed­
eral Reserve Bulletin, United
States currency is commanding a
premium in the high tension cen­
ters across the Atlantic.
Inability to predict the future
value of some countries’ money
has caused the harrassed holders
thereof to flock to the good old US
dollar for security. Gold and prec­
ious stones would serve the same
purpose but for hiding use nothing­
can beat a United States bill and
it is worth face value wherever
it is.
Consequently, people who may
have to take it on the lam in a
hurry or who want to send money
out of their own country are buy­
ing large denomination govern­
ment bills and the heavy demand
has caused all shipping records for
our currency to fall.
Most of the cash goes to Am­
sterdam, which is in the center of
the troubled area and a world !
money market besides. There, they |
say, a thousand dollar US bill
brings a premium of seven per
cent and there is even a market
for future delivery. You make a
small payment down for delivery
at a stated price some months or
weeks later and the seller war­
rants that you can get it at that
price then upon payment of the
balance.
