An Important Decision!
ft *
The members of the chamber of commerce are
faced with a real responsibility this weeksinceitw'
be their decision which will determine the future ot
the organization in Ashland—in other words, whether
it will continue as an active community-building tout
or revert to an expensive information bureau.
Since the loss of registration fees of out-of-state
cars, the chamber has been operating with a consider
able monthly deficit even though working upon a dras
tically reduced budget. So after much study, the board
of directors has placed the decision in the hands ot the i
members upon whose support the success of any plan
depends.
.
. . i
In view of the proposed military and commercial
expansion in this area it is hoped that the member I
ship will be unanimously in favor of continuing an
active organization which will be capable of pa\ ing
real dividends in the way of community improvement.
It is true that much of the chamber of commerce
work falls upon members themselves, but success is
largely due to the leadership and research of the of
fice. So considering value received it is difficult to
see any economy in reducing the present set-up to a
second-rate information bureau whose contribution to
civic betterment would be the enlightenment of tour
ists as to the height of Mt. Ashland or whether or not
Crater Lake is as blue as advertised.

Why No Daylight Saving?
With public interest turned to conservation by the
just completed aluminum drive, it might be an oppor
tune time to appeal for public support to a painless yet
important contribution to national defense—saving
davlizht which in turn would mean a big saving in
daylight
electrical energy.
While there is no real shortage of electricity in
most sections of the country to date, the prospects
have appeared serious enough for President Roosevelt
to recommend that congress give him authority to
proclaim daylight saving time either regionally or
nationally for part or all the year.
Although it has become a national habit to waste
several hours of morning daylight there seems to be
no sound reason for opposing daylight saving time,
particularly if it were established throughout the
country which would avoid the confusion of changing
timetables and conflict between rural and city clocks.
Daylight saving has proved its workability in many
cities and states for more than 20 years and seems by
far the most agreeable means of conserving resources
yet suggested.

Miner Subscribers Not Included!
The Yreka Journal resurrected an old timer recent
ly that bears repeating:
A certain subscriber got mad at the editor, and
stopped his paper.
Next week he sold his wheat (this was before the
AAA) at four cents below published market price;
then some of his farm was sold for taxes because he
didn’t read the sheriff’s sale; he lost $10 betting on a
horse ten days after the race was won by another nag;
he was arrested and fined $25 for fishing in a Stream
the newspaper had reported closed; he was blacklisted
for not going to church on Sunday because he didn’t
know what day was Sunday and finally he paid $300
for some forged notes that the newspaper had warned
everybody against.
Well, sir, this fellow hired a big colored boy with
a foot like a derrick to kick him all the way to the
newspaper office, where he paid up four years sub
scription in advance, and made the editor sign an
agreement to knock him down and rob him if he ever
stopped his paper again.
REMEMBER WHEN
—iron statuary decorated the yards of the town's leading
ciitizens? Sometimes a deer with head held high. Or Diana
with drawn bow, or e. huge dog. On the curb stood the figure
of a negro boy holding a ring to which to tie the horses.
Show places, those yards were. Remember?

PAYING TOO MUCH TO EAT
Yet there is hardly a farm on
tvhich a good-sized kitchen garden
could not be planted, and hardly
a farm on which there is not
•nough time wasted to take care
if that garden. And with mod-
arn farm machinery to do most ot
the work, spare time for garden
ing is still more available.
A thrifty farmer can raise on
his own place just about every-
i thing needed to provide a health-
I ful and adequate year-round diet,
except sugar, salt, coffee, tea and
I perhaps fresh fruits during the
winter.
And a thrifty farmer's wife can
I preserve enough fruits and vege-
I 1 tables to last a family through a
long winter.
In the old days, before so many
new-fangled ideas became popu
lar, we who lived in towns used
to look upon a farm dinner as just
I
, about tops in plenty of good thing*
to eat. They didn't buy many of
the good things they gave us. They
I
raised their own fruits and vege
tables, and they killed and cured
their own meats. They were actu
ally prodigal with fried chickens
and luscious country ham and
sausage. They baked their own
bread and pies, and what pies they
were!
We've lost a good deal since the
arrival of the can opener and the
cellophane-wrapped package. The
stores sell us fine foods, clean,
Í well-selected and well-preserved.
But they cost money, beepuse to
buy them we have to pay a good
many profits and expense items
that are not in the picture when
equally good things to eat can be
produced right where they arc
eaten—on the family farm.
If you are one of thé farmers
who think a garden is too much
work, why not get together with
a few neighbors, and each raise
enough of a few fruits and vege
tables for the group.
Then let other members of the
group raise a different selection,
and share with you and with each
other these money-saving garden
crops.
Sounds like a very simple idea,
but it’s a very practical one that
too many farmers have been over
looking as a means of conserving
the cash that is sometimes so hard
to accumulate.
A leading farm journal recent
ly printed some very interesting
and very significant figures. It
made the statement—and backed
it by evidence—that out of every
dollar farmers
spend for con
sumer goods, 41
cents is spent for
food.
Consumer
goods of. course
means things
that are used up
—food, clothing,
drugs, toilet
preparat ions,
household sup
Kyes
plies and the like.
We all look upon the farm as
the place where food is raised. Of
course we do not expect any sin
gle farm to produce every kind of
food its people might like to eat,
but it does seem that a well-run
family farm should be able to
feed its operator and his family
on a well-rounded diet, without
the need of buying 41 per cent of
its food in the market.
Perhaps this figure points to a
bad habit that too many Amer
ican farmers have acquired—the
habit of growing only a single
crop, or a few crops, and depend
ing upon others for the diversifica
tion that means healthy living and
profits.
These one-crop farmers are al
ways at the mercy of the market
for their specialty. They are very
likely to be in the position of
selling their own crop at a low
price, and being compelled to buy
what they need at a high price.
At the very time they are asking
for economic changes that will
bring them more cash, they are
actually wasting some of the cash
they have, by spending it for food • Among those attending the
they could raise.
