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.

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.

PROCRES
How times have changed! How food distribution has progressed ! Only
thirty years ago autos were not allowed on main streets and the food store
was the "haven for jimcracks of a thousand varieties." But, today we
have modern cars, conveniently located stores with ample parking space
and, best of all, thoroughly up-to-the-minute food stores with the freshest
of fresh foods, the most courteous and expert food merchants and econom
ical prices that plainly spell STEPS OF PROGRESS!
