HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 12, 1930. PAGE THREE BRUG We Can't Fight Change When I was a small boy in the country we had a good old neigh bor named Daniel Roe, who owned a cranberry meadow. He brought the water for flooding his meadow through a deep ditch from a lake about a quarter a mile away. Half of every summer of his life he spent digging the dirt and stones which had follen into that ditch. We kids used to go over and watch him dig. There was a big stone by the side of the ditch which was shaped roughly like an arm chair. There he would eat his lunch at noon, and smoke his pipe. We called the stone Mr. Roe's chair. In fullness of time he died. His son sold the meadow, and it was abandoned. My father bought the ditch, most of which ran through our woods, and every summer we fill a little piece of it up with junk and garbage and cover it over with dirt. Last summer I walked through the woods and stopped at Mr. Roe's chair. Already the ditch is half destroyed. In five years more it will be gone. All his sweat and strain and back ache for nothing. No trace of his life work left! In a New York club I talked with an eminent architect, who said that the glorious days had vanished from his profession. The architects of Greece and Rome left monuments that are eternal. The modern archi tect has so such hope. He himself had designed three houses in New York so magnificent that he ex pected them to carry his name to future generations. All three have been torn down to make way for apartment buildings. I talked with a clergyman who had recently visited a city parish where he had labored successfully thirty years ago. That portion of the city has now become a slum. The old families have scattered to the suburbs. The church is closed "What is left," he exclaimed sad ly, "to show for all my labor?" I told him that people are left the sons and daughters of -- men and women to whom his sermons were preached. "Your hearers trained their chil dren in righteousness," I said, "and they will train their children." We can't fight change, and it is well that we can't How dull life would be if everything were per manent. How wonderful that each new generation has the fun of tak ing the world apart and putting it together again. The church may be closed, the house torn down, the ditch filled up. But Mr. Roe and the architect and the preacher each built a mon ument in the lives of the people whom he served. We can do as much; and it is all that we can do. the land between them and the sea. Old ocean beds make good farms everywhere. Holland's farms are almost entirely on reclaimed sea- bottom, and another 300,uuO acres of ocean has just been diked off and is being pumped out to add to the agricultural area. Much of Flor ida's best land has only lately been reclaimed and now a project is on foot to irrigate the Sahara desert and make it the world's garden spot WASHINGTON The National Capital is repidly becoming the most beautiful city in America, one of the most beautiful cities of the world. I first went to Washington as a boy, nearly fifty years ago, and have seen it grow from a mudhole ornamented in spots with beautiful structures and monuments, into something which now begins to resemble the har monious, stately design of the great Frenchman, Major L'Enfant, whom George Washington employed to lay out the city named after himself. Just now there is being spent in Washington on public buildings and grounds, parkways and the like, a total of $314,250,000. Washington was planned to face East and South from the Capitol and the White House, respectively. Real estate speculators of the 1790's bought up the desirable lots and held them at such high prices that the city grew north and west in stead and new fronts had to be put on the White House and the Capi tol, the back doors of which faced the city as it is now.

Giannini told a Congres sional committee the other day that branch banking would eventually supersede the present system of in dependent local banks in the United States, as it has done In Canada and largely in England. Small vil la ona he said, cannot support a bank with sufficient resources to meet the growing industrial needs of small towns. Mr. Giannini is probably right There are good-sized cities in the Untied States whose progress has been held back by lack of adequate local banking capital and by the narrow outlook of local bankers. The prejudice against "chain" own ership of any kind of business ex tends to banks as well as to stores, but as in the case of chain stores, the remedy is in the hands of the community. Independent banks, like retailers, can compete with "chain" institutions if they will ad opt the modern methods of the chains and provide themselves with sufticinet resources to make compe tition effective. CRIPPLES One of the things which we are beginning to learn is that the worst thing we can do for a person who has been disabled by disease or acci dent Is to coddle him or her, and the best thing that can be done is to train the remaining faculties to use ful work. The Veterans Bureau has finished its rehabilitation work with men who were injured in the World Wir nnH rennrts that every man who is capable of any sort of pro ductive effort is now at work some where. But the Federal Govern ment is cooperating with the states to provide the same sort of rehabil itation training for victims of In dustrial accidents and of crippling diseases like lniantne paraiysia. nnlv a few states are giving coop eration, but in those surprising re sults have been achieved. Leaving out the benefit of society by not having to support the crip ple In Idleness, there Is a definite value to the injured person in the discovery that he Is still able to earn a living. STUPIDITY nDtfv.a nfflninls in Seattle re 120 conies of a Ger man medical book, Imported by a Seattle dealer for sale to the med ical men of the Northwest. The ground for the seizure was that the contents of the book were "indeli cate." The book is a learned trea tise on biology, which word is mere ly a technical term meaning "life." Life, apparently, Is indelicate, In the eyes of the United States Cus toms. But human life only. Nobody tries to suppress books which deal with the breeding of livestock, dogs or poultry. Only when a book sug gests that the life processes of hu man beings are similar to those of other animals do well-meaning but stupid olllclals interfere. LOWDOWN Victor V. Green runs what he calls "The Most Low-Down Paper on EHrth." Its title Is the Caochella Valley Submarine and It Is publish ed at Coachella, Riverside County, California, 76 feet below sea level. Editor Green has a sense of hu- - n ia vlrlenced bv the sub title of his paper. He also has a sense of responsibility to nis tnriv Ing agricultural community, as the local news in me ouuuianuc clearly shows.-Thni-n am other vallcvg In Call fornla the bottoms of which are even farther below the level of the A SIGNIFICANT TRIBUTE to the value of l,,e new Ford is foun(1 in it9 increas" ing use by Federal, Btate and city gov-' crnments and by large industrial com panies which keep careful day-by-day cost records. In most instances, the Ford has been chosen only after exhaustive testa of every factor that contributes to good performance speed, power, safety, com fort, low cost of operation and up-keep, reliability and long life. Prominent among the companies using the Ford are the Associated Companies of the Bell System, Armour and Com pany, The Borden Company, Continental Baking Corporation, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, General Electric Com pany, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com pany, Kellogg Company, Knickerbocker Ice Company, Morton Salt Company, I'illsbury Flour Mills Company, The Procter and Gamble Company, and Swift & Company. Each of these companies uses a large number of Ford cars and trucks. The Associated Companies of the Bell System use more than eight thousand. Modern business moves at a fast pace and it needs the Ford. Daily, in count less ways and places, it helps to speed the production and delivery of the world's goods and extend the useful ser vice of men and companies. Constant, steady operation over many thousands of miles emphasizes the ad vantages of the sound design of the Ford car, its high quality of materials, and unusual accuracy in manufacturing. Beneath its graceful lines and beautiful colors there is a high degree of me chanical excellence. An example of the value built into the Ford is the use of more than twenty ball and roller bearings. They are hidden within the car and you may never see them. Yet they play an important part in satisfactory, economical performance. Their function is similar to the jewels of a fine watch. Throughout the Ford chassis, a ball or roller bearing is used at every place where it is needed to reduce friction and wear and give smooth, reliable me chanical operation. At many points, as on the transmission counter-shaft, clutch release, fan and pump shaft, and front drive shaft, these ball and roller bearings are used where less costly types of bearings might be considered adequate. Additional instances of the high quality built into the Ford are the ex tensive use of steel forgings, fully enclosed four-wheel brakes, Rustless Steel, four Houdaille double-acting hy draulic shock absorbers, aluminum pis tons, chrome silicon alloy valves, torque-lube drive, three-quarter floating rear axle, and the Triplex shatter-prooC glass windshield. The Ford policy has always been to use the best possible material for each part and then, through large proiluo tion, give it to the public at low cost. NEW LOW FOIIU PRICKS Standard Coup. ........
