HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1930. PAGE THREE SLIDE LINES This is the business record of John Smith, who is now forty-one. He started work on a newspaper, and while he was there, he pieced out his income by selling real-estate. Then he transferred into the bond business and sold insurance on the side. He is now selling wall-paper, which, according to him, is such a poor job that he has to carry sam ples of floor-wax and a patent at tachment for radiators In order to keep going. John is honest and hard-working. His complaint about the meager re turns which the business world has given him caused a friend of mine to make an investigation. It re vealed the following facts: One of the men who started on the newspaper with John Smith is now part owner of the paper and has an income of more than twenty five thousand dollars a year. Real-estate has steadily advanced in the city where John Smith played with real-estate as a side-line, and a number of real estaters, no older or smarter than John, are now very well-to-do. Both the insurance business and the bond business have prospered in John's old town, providing automo biles and comfortable homes for several men who were formerly his colleagues. As for wall-paper, I myself hap pncd to be riding with the sales FRANK PARKER 1 STOCKBRIPCE , BAKER George F. Baker celebrated his ninetieth birthday the other day. He is still the active head of the First National Bank of New York, one of the world's greatest financial institutions, in which he owns a con trolling interest. George Baker was a country boy on Cape Cod when he heard his uncle tell about lending money out at Interest. It struck the boy as a new idea that you could make your money work for you. He resolved then to go into the business of making money earn money. He has never been a speculator, a promoter or anything but a banker. Every other banker in New York looks up to him and relies upon, his judgment. He never made a speech. He says that most of the talking people do is unnecessary. But when he says "no" to a man who wants to borrow money from him it is as convincing as if he had talked for an hour. "HICKS" I went to a movie theater the other night and saw a "comedy"' which made me boil. It was a "talkie" taken direct from the vaudeville stage, and it represented the people of a country town in caricature and costumes which might have been worn forty years ago, and with manners, dia lect and habits which prevail no where In the United States today. I live a good part of the time and vote at every election in a country town of a few hundred inhabitants. It is distinctly rural, yet its people are as up-to-date in their clothes and as correct in their manners and speech as well-bred people in any city: much more so than the gen eral run of New Yorkers. Yet New York and the other cities get their impression of small towns from such movies as this one. No wonder they call village folk "hicks." Thoy forget that the men who head the business enterprises of their cities New York, Chicago, and all the rest nine times out of ten grew up In these country vil luges and have proved themselves better than city-bred folks in the competitive game of life. MOVIES According to Mr. Will H. Hays nrealdnnt of the Association of Mo tion Picture Producers, the movies are going to clean themselves up again. They are going to eliminate indecency and suggestiveness, in centives to vice and crime and about everything else that censors hnve obiected to. That is all very good as far as It mips, but it doesn t go far enough Whnt the movies need more than anything olse is some relation to rpnl life. Their real danger to the young is the false Impression they give of the way In which people of different kinds and classes act and live. Elmer Rice has written a book, "A Voyage to Purilia," in which he satirizes the movie standards of truth, morals and ethics. It Is a book which everyone concerned with the training of children ought to read and profit by HOUSING The British government propose to rebuild all of the unsanitary dwellings In the British Isles. The program will take forty years. Own ers can be compelled, under this plan, to tear down old houses and rebuild them. We rebuild everything every forty years. That is the average life of a building In America. Many dwell ings are much older than that; I manager of a wall-paper company a few days after hearing John's story. "I understand your business is a poor business," I said. "Does any body ever make a really good thing tmt of it?" Said he: "Old Adrian Meeker is the best answed to that. He worked for us as a salesman for twenty years. Hard territory his was, too. The other day he retired with one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and took his family out to Califor nia." So It seems that each of the bus inesses which John Smith tried on the side has been very good to the people who stayed with it on full time. J. C. Penney told me the other day about a young man who might have ben one of his first partners. The young man played the trom bone and was compelled to leave the store early every night because he made five dollars a week by tooting his horn in an orchestra. He is still tending store in the day time and tooting at night. Mr. Pen ney is the head of more than eight hundred stores. There are men who made for tunes by running bootblack stands, by buying junk from automobile factories, and even by contracting with a city to collect its garbage. Almost any business seems to be a good business if a man gives it all he's got. But the side-line is the slide-line. live in Winter in one that was built in New York about 100 years ago and in Summer in a farmhouse that is 144 years old. But ideas of con struction, sanitation and the util ization of space change so rapidly that most people want a new house every twenty years or so. DIET Members of Congress are eating a new diet, recommended by Dr. J. W. Calver, the physician to the House of Representatives, as being the best food for brain-workers in warm weather. One of the popular new diet dishes is served on a single plate in the House restaurant and consists of raw carrots and raw cab bage, chopped small and served in tomato jelly, rye toast, Philadelphia cream cheese, a baked apple and either tea, coffee, milk or butter milk. The tea is served with lemon and one lump of sugar, the coffee is half milk. The realization that people who take no exercise should not fill themselves with starches and meat Is becoming general. because VALUE V BUILT BY BUICK X HEPPNER GARAGE WHEN BETTER Good Future Foreseen In Frozen Pack Fruit The frozen pack method of pre serving strawberries, raspberries, loganberries and to some extent sour cherries, in small containers for domestic use offers considerable promise in the opinion of H. C. Diehl of the department of agricul ture, commenting on frozen pack experience in the Pacific northwest last year. Primary requisites of a satisfac tory pack in small containers, he says, are fully matured, clean, well graded raw material; a fruit mass covered with syrup or sweetened juice and having an attractive col or, free from fading or surface dis coloration; quick cooling and ade quate freezing; agreeable texture, flavor and aroma; absence of sur face mold, fermentation or decom position; an attractive package that is satisfactorily full when thawed and is tightly sealed. Burton Hutton, who represented the Pendleton East Oregonian in Morrow county and had headquar ters in Heppner until about two years ago, became a Royal Arch Mason, being initiated into the lodge at the grand chapter sessions in Corvallis last week.
