As the old timer said, "Days ain't what thcv used to be, partickerly
the Fourth of July.”
And he’s right. The only trouble with this line of reasoning is that
his nostalgic recollections are only of the better side of those pre­
vious days and not of the more grievous, sadder side.
Firecrackers are one thing he dwells on longingly. Those were the
days, he says. They certainly were, days of powder burns, of shat­
tered fingers, blasted eyes, burning houses.
That the days of old were dangerous ones can readily be seen when
one stops to think that only this week a house in Valleyview burned
because of a firecracker being tossed to the roof.
Within the city of Ashland the sale and use of firecrackers is pro­
hibited. That this is a sensible ordinance goes without saying. Yet,
the old timer sits out in the sun and tells the kids that the old days
are better days, that firecrackers ain't what they used to be. and that
the zip has gone from the Fourth of July celebration.
H e’s (ust dreaming, and like all dreams, his only tell him what he
wants to hear.
Days, in our community.
Dated this a jth day of May, 194k.

Things Are Quieter Now
Now' that the primaries are over the voters can get back to their
gardening and the politicians can begin cultivating their plans for
the November harvest.
Looks as though Doug McKay and Earl Newbry are in the state
house to stay. N o use spending many words here on the fact that
winnijng the Republican nomination is tantamount to election in
Oregon. It’s too bad, but that’s the way it is.
And Governor Dewey nosed out Harold Stassen, too bad in a
way, but neither of them are yet president, the nation’s contest is a
bit different from the Oregon contest. We liked Stassen, but felt
that his stjnd on outlawing communists was ill taken and that he

x)t was brought out very strongly last week to A. E. Powell, editor
f the Central Point American. Powell, a long time newspaperman, lost
ae race for county commissidner to L. G. "Shy” Morthland.
"I’ve been preaching that newspaper advertising pays for several
ears,” Powell said after the votes had been counted and he had been
minted out, "but it took Morthland to prove it to me.”
Pufwell pointed out that Morthland had advertised to the hilt in
very newspaper in the codnty— and he said, a mite ruefully, it cer-
ainly paid.

Perhaps he’ll recover some of that ground at the convention, looks
very doubtful, however, for more than likely neither Dewey nor
Stassen, despite all the money they spent in Oregon, will ever be
nominated this time for the presidency.
Both min would make fine executive leaders. The nation is lucky

"N ature Boy,’’ the tune th a t’s
been booming to the top of the
hit parade in recent weeks, is
said to have been w ritten by a
character who’s as as different as
the song Itself. His nam e is eden
ahbez, but around Hollywood,
he’s referred to as The Yogi.
Here Is w hat Music Business,
the disc jockey's own magazine,
has to say about this guy, eden:
•‘eden is C hrist-like in ap p ear­
ance, w earing a long beard and
dressing in a drab tan smock. He
either goes barefoot or wears
sandals. He believes in O riental
philosophy of life and spends
most of his tim e in prayer, he
says.
"He is a strict vegetarian, and
his meals are served on a m at on
the floor. T hroughout the year,
he and his wife sleep outside in
sleeping bags. He earned his livE
ing (before N ature Boy) as a fruit
picker, following seasonal crops."

For the merchant, it’s a good way to get some cheap advertising,
and it’s a good way to get some good charm school training on the

The expense of sponsoring a girl in the contest should be negligible
there are some 180 merchants in town and there are at least twice that
many good looking girls so it should be easy enough for each mer­

As for the girls, it’s a wonderful enterprise for each one who enters.
