MARCH 3. 1SS2 SUPER ROADS MI ST WAIT With the reduction of the engineering force and the c u t­ ting of wages it is evident that the highway departm ent ex­ pects to do little more this year than complete the existing m ad projects under construction and keep up m aintenance Few large m ajor construction projects w ill likely be started and even Portland's road to the sea will no doubt have to wait. This is no doubt good business judgement on the part of the highway commission. With shrinking revenues this is no time to float big bond issues for highway construction and especially in the face of threatened drastic reduction in tlie automobile license fees. Big jobs, anyway, are done mostly with power and give work to but few men. The smaller sections of uncompleted road will give more hand labor and also be more beneficial to the state because, for the most part, they are Jobs that connect up existing roads w here weak links now exist and prevent full use of the high­ ways. ----------------- • ----------------- CLEAN CP AND PAINT CP Front all indications the coming sum m er will be the state's biggest tourist season. It behooves every city and countryside to look its best when this big parade passes by. Both from a business standpoint and from pride we should clean up and paint up this spring. In addition to our annual spring clean up there are two things we might well do. One is to see th at all vacant lots are cleaned up at the time the rest of the town is going through the annual clean up. The other is the painting of all the store fronts on Main street. T here’s nothing that m akes a town look wide aw ake like fresh paint. It m akes a good impression on the new­ comer and it has a stim ulating effect on the resident. Civic organizations should give their support to a clean­ up and paint up campaign. ------------ <------------ We are am used at the Dem ocrats who talk free trade in one breath and the next about the sin of buying foreign goods. It is true th at we would not need a high tariff if we had an absolute boycott. But we m ust learn som ething of boycotts. One in China got her into the present war with Japan. Boycotts m ake our neighbor nations mad. ■ . 0 ----------------- We don't hear so much about Chinese bandits since the arm y has halted the Japanese advance in Shanghai. The Chinese await the Japanese advance with cold steel, which shows the confidence of plenty of m ilitary training rath er than bandit warfare. ----------------- • ----------------- Springfield seems to be the only section of Lane county not politically minded. Every other com m unity either has someone filed for county office or about to throw his hat in the ring. If Henry Ford is now willing to risk eighty million dol­ lars on the future of American business the rest of us should also put up a few nickels. ----------------- »•»-- ............ THE FORGOTTEN ANANIAS Some years ago a chicken thief com m itted a series of robberies on big estates outside New York. He got away with some very fancy stock. Finally, one of the gentlem an farm ers, whom we shall call Van Norton, hired a private detective and caught the m iscreant. Sitting in a New York club a few nights later, Van Nor­ ton received the congratulations of his neighbors. "You did a fine thing.” they said. ‘‘Now we hope you’ll send the rascal over the road for a good long stretch.” “ What do you mean, send him over the ro ad ? ” Van Nor­ ton asked. “Why, prosecute him. Send him to jail.” “ Prosecute him? I don't intend to prosecute him.” They were incredulous. "Surely you’re going to see that he is punished for all the loss and worry he has caused us.” “Just a m inute,” Van Norton responded quietly. “ Sup­ pose I do prosecute him. Suppose I get a conviction and a jail sentence. W hat will happen? Ten years from now my name will be mentioned in a gathering such as this, and somebody will say vaguely, ‘Van Norton? Van Norton? Let's see. W asn’t he mixed up in some chicken stealing busi­ ness a little while a g o ? ’ ” KATtlARINf Second Instalment F m t fr«s * Frsatk JorWys H « tt v « r r r to r n . w New Y.wk to kei aurially- H n t nwxhar, » rrtiyw xu. ««ttstiooi wwaua.

It takes 2.5 8-10 grains of coin gold to make a dollar, so the »20 goldplece, or double eagle, contains a little more than an ounce of coin gold and a little less than a troy ounce of pure gold.” If 1 were to m ention to any reader of this newspaper the nam e Judas, he would tell me immediately who Judas was. “ He was the treacherous apostle, the betrayer of his Lord.” But how many readers rem em ber this story? When the apostle Paul saw the vision by which he was converted, he was divinely guided into Damascus to the house of a faithful disciple. What was the disciple’s nam e? J udas. Another disciple was sent to Paul to m inister to his needs. What was his name? Ananias. Everybody rem em bers Judas the betrayer and Ananias the liar. Nobody rem em bers the other Judas and the other Ananias -quiet, unselfish men who aided Paul in his hour of need and helped to sta rt him on his great career. A very wise and good friend of mine had a motto. Said he: “ Every man has a right to be judged by his best.” Will some psychologist explain why it is so hard for us to rem em ber the best? And so easy to rem ember the worst?
