HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1930. PAGE THREE Do People Feel Better Be cause You Passed By? I was in a doctor's office by ap pointment at live-thirty when his telephone rang. A woman's voice at the other end of the wire asked him to call at the house that eve ning. His voice betrayed his irritation, but he promised to call. Then he snapped the receiver on the hook and exploded. "There is a woman who has noth ing to do all day but gad about She might just as easily have called me this morning or early this afternoon. But, no, she has put it off and spoil ed my evening. "Nobody but a doctor has any idea of how inconsiderate people can be." On two recent trips with two dif ferent men I had an interesting op portunity to contrast their conduct toward their fellow human beings. One of them had made several million dollars in the past few years. Whenever he entered a dining car or a hotel he wanted everybody to understand that he is rich and im portant Waiters dislike him, even though he tips liberally. I some times felt embrarassed by his crit ical demands for attention. The manner of the other man is the exact reverse. You would never guess that he is a power in world industry. He never gives orders, but makes suggestions or very cour teous requests. He seems surprised that anybody should want to do him a favor. He can make a waiter or a station porter feel a new sense of self-respect merely by his smile. A noted preacher once remarked that one of the finest of all the say ings of Jesus is this: "I have com passion on the multitude." Said the preacher: "Many men can be virtuous. Many can be hon est in a hard, self-righteous way. But how many are really consider ate? How many feel instinctive re spect and sympathy? How many have compassion?" A lot of twisted standards have somehow grown up in the world. A lot of very righteous people seem to think that a man is good if he does not smoke, does not take a drink, does not do this or that. These are negative and unimport ant The real mark of a Christian and a gentleman is whether he treats other people as he would like to be treated. Whether they feel better or worse because he has passed by. ers remember words as pictures. And that is as it should be. Spelling is of importance only in connection with reading and writing, and read ing and writing are a means of ex pression designed to appeal to the eye only. SPELLING One reason why our public schools are not as good as they could and should be is that we do not pay the teacher the same respect to say nothing of salary that they do in Europe. To be a school teacher in Germany, for instance, is to achieve at once a degree of social standing equivalent to that of a physician or a lawyer. Texas set an example years ago of one way of increasing the teacher's self-respect In 1860 a "teachery" was built in Blum school district in Guadalupe County a home for the teacher. Now Texas has 1,330 of these teacher's homes, costing an average of $2,200. One teacher, H. E. Dietel, of Schumannsville, taught one school and lived in one teachery for 40 years. He became the fore most citizen of his community. The rural school without a home for the teacher or teachers is a relic of the dark ages. FRANK PARKER RADBURN Something new in town building has been accomplished in New Jer sey, twenty miles out from New York City. The town of Radburn has been planned and built with an eye first to safety in the streets. It has been laid out so that all streets in the residential district are "dead end" thoroughfares. No through traffic rushes past homes, endanger ing the lives of children. Schools playgrounds, parks and recreation centers have been so located that no child has to cross a street carrying motor traffic to get to any of thum. And there are plenty of open spaces in the midst of which dwellir.jjs have been built which house today about 600 people, where there was nothing but a farm a year ago. Radburn calls Itself "Tomorrow's Town." It is certain that new meth ods of town planning must develop to meet the new tools of civilization. MIRACLES Nothing but gas and water are needed to make artificial silk, by a new process discovered by Professor Harold Hibbert of McGlll Univer sity, Montreal. That is amazing, even to such of us as have got used to the idea of transmission of elec tric currents through space. Gas carbon dioxide, produced from coal Is invisible and, to our unaided senses, without weight Water is a fluid which takes solid form only as Ice, in our ordinary experience. But by combining the two to make a permanent, tangible solid which will take the place of rayon fibers pro duced from cotton or wood pulp, Dr. Hibbert has performed a mira cle which seems none the less mir aculous when he explains how it is done. This is another step In the pro gress of science toward the goal of producing in the factory, by swift, cheap methods, everything we need to eat, wear and use. The method, in general, is to take the short cut where Nature takes the long road about. DOLLAR Eighty-six years old, owner of a fleet of 50 great passenger and freight ships and one of the world's largest lumber enterprises, Captain Robert Dollar still runs the details of his own great business. He, start ed to work at 11, in his native Scot land, at wages of 60 cents a week. He has made every cent of his great fortune by hard work and stIU gets to his ofllce In San Francisco at 20 minutes to nine every morning. When he feels Jike it he calls up Mrs. Dollar, tells her to pack the bags for a trip, and the happy old couple start out on one of his own ships for a voyage to China or around the world. On every such trip Captain Dollar finds new op portunities for Amorlcan trade and new business for the Dollar ships. TEACHERS There Is a great revival of inter est in the old-fashioned "spelling bee." Helen Jenson, a 13-year-old girl of Council Bluffs, has just won a prize of $1,000 and the title of National Spelling Champion In a contest at Washington. Newspaper men, congressmen, women's clubs and other bodies have been con ducting spelling bees In many cities. This Is Interesting and more or less Important. Correct spelling is an accomplishment which reveals a great deal of the character of the Individual, uood spellers are per sons who concentrate on details, who have a keen eye and a pictorial memory. Few persons who learn chiefly by ear are good spellers. The "phonetic" method of teaching chil dren to read, a fad which is being abandoned in many schools, is re sponsible for much of the atrocious spelling which makes so many girls unable to earn more than a bare wage as stenographers. Good spell- FOULTRYMEN MEETING. The annual convention of Oregon poultrymen, to be held on the Ore gon State college campus July 23 and 24 is expected to draw some 400 leading poultrymen from all parts of Oregon, according to A. G. Lunn, head of the poultry husbandry de partment, who is in charge of the meetings. The Oregon State Poul trymen's association will convene on the campus at the same time. . TEACHERS TO MARRY. ! Harold R. Johnson, former prin cipal of Heppner high school, and Miss Mary Gingrich, former Mor row county teacher, will be married June 25 in Portland. During the last year, both have been teaching in the North Bend schools. yMMMMMItlllMIMIIHIMIMMMaMHMlllllMHMHMMIIIHMIUI Introspeftl MllllliHIIMMMir FIVE YEARS AGO. (From Garotte Tims cf Jan 11, 1925.) Mrs. W. O. Dix and Mrs. P. M. Gemmell are in Portland this week attending the grand chapter, Order of Eastern Star, as representatives of Ruth chapter No. 32 of Heppner. Treasurer L. W. Briggs is laid up at his home this week, suffering an attack of appendicitis. His physi cian has not yet decided whether an operatiion will be necessary. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Cohn of this city are the proud parents of a fine boy, born to them at the maternity home of Mrs. G. C. Aiken on Satur day, June 6. The young man has been named Philip William for his paternal and maternal granddad dies. A pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Bar lcw, near Heppner, Sunday, May 24, when their son, Guy L. Barlow, was united in marriage to Miss Crystal N. Roberts. TEN YEARS AGO. (From Gazette Times of Juno 10, 1920.) Howard M. James of Enterprise has been chosen to succeed D. W. Boitnott as superintendent of the Heppner public schools. So acute has become the gasoline situation that all over the country drastic steps are being taken to con serve present supplies. To that end all unnecessary use of the automo biles is being advocated to be stop ped. Beginning the first of the week in Heppner, it was not possi ble for autoists to receive more tl'an half a tank of gasoline. That is, if he has a half tank on hand, he gets none. Ex-servicemtn of Morrow county will meet in the council chambers in Heppner on Saturday evening to After the Wirst Twenty-five Thousand Miies v THE VALUE of sound design, good materials and careful craftsmanship is especially apparent in the new Ford after the first twenty-five thousand miles. Long, continuous service emphasizes its mechanical reliability and economy of operation and up-keep. ( As you drive the Ford through many months and years you will develop an increasing pride in its appearance and a growing respect for the substantial worth that has been built into it. From every standpoint in everything that goes to make a good automobile you will know that you have made a far-seeing, satisfactory purchase. Wherever you go, you hear enthusiastic praise of the car and this significant, oft-repeated phrase "I'm glad I bought a Ford." A FORD owner in New York tells of a 13,000-mile trip across the United States and back in sixty days and says "the car was extremely economical to operate, com fortable and speedy." A grateful father tells how the Triplex shatter-proof glass windshield saved his wife and children from serious injury. To test tires, a large company drove a new Ford day and night, for an average of 500 miles every twenty-four hours. It was Btill giving satisfactory service after 105,000 miles. A Ford car that had fallen into Fern an Lake was submerged for twelve days be fore being raised. After a new battery and carburetor bowl were installed, itwas driven back to Spokane under its own power. Many police departments have written of the special advantages of the Ford in crowded traffic because of its alert speed, acceleration, and ease of control. An in creasing number of fleet owners are' also purchasing the Ford because their cost figures have given conclusive proof of its economy of operation and up-keep. In addition to important triumphs in Germany, France and Italy, the Ford won six out of seven leading places in a contest in Finland, first and second in the Rafacla races in Argentina, first and second in the run from Copenhagen-to-Paris-to-Copen-hagen, three gold medals in England, first ranking in the durability test over the tortuous Amancaes road in Peru, and first place in the 1930 reliability run conducted by the Royal Automobile Club of Sweden. This contest was an exceptionally se vere test of endurance and sturdy con struction because it was held in the dead of winter and covered 600 miles of steady running over snow-covered country roads and mountainous hills.

(From Gazette Times of June 10, 1916.) The second annual picnic of the Morrow County Farmers union held last Tuesday at lone was a complete success. Fully 1000 outside people attended and the day was enjoyably and profitably spent. Local sportsmen gathered at the city council chambers last Friday evening, and with Dr. F. N. Chris tensen acting as temporary chair man, an organization which will look to the betterment of fish and game conditions in Morrow county was started. The name of the new organization is Morrow County Rod and Gun club. O. A. Devin, who has been suffer ing much of late with rheumatism, departed for McDuffee springs Tu esday and will remain there suffi cient time to get relief. Frank Turner returned to his farm home northwest of Heppner Tuesday, having completed a suc cessful shearing season. During the season the Turner and Wilcox plant sheared 45,000 head of sheep.
