HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 18, 1930. PAGE THREE BRUCrrBv When's the Time to Quit? I rode downtown In a taxlcab, and looked at the picture of the driver on the license card which is issued by the police. Where had I seen a face like that? Suddenly I knew. An acquaint ance of mine looks enough like that taxi driver to be his twin. If the whole truth be blurted out, I doubt if there is a very wide dif ference in itelligence between that taxi driver and my acquaintance. Neither has much education. Neith er is well read. Neither can be ac cused of profound thought. How is It, then, that one is on the front seat of a cab and the other rides in the back seat of a limousine? Luck? Undoubtedly there is a lot of luck in every successful car eer. But I think my acquaintance has at least one quality which the taxi driver lacks. He stuck to his game through some pretty lean, tough years when there was every reason to be discouraged and quit. The dividing line between success and failure is Just a hairline in thousands of cases. One single de cision may make all the difference. A young man has just been pro moted into the vice-presidency of a corporation, and given a stock par ticipation that will make him many times a millionaire. He told me that he started in a branch office of the company as an accountant. Before long he had made himself master of one certain phase of the company's affairs. He looked around him and above him, and was discouraged. Every where his way seemed to be blocked by men who had been there longer, but were young enough so that they would be active for many years. One night he definitely decided to look for something else. The next day an officer of the company vis ited his branch, and a violent dis cussion ensued. The officer upheld one side of the question, my young friend the other. And my young friend knew his facts; he was right. The argument ended by the offi cer asking him to come down to New York "for a few weeks." He has been there ever since. If he had resigned the preceding evening, my young friend would have missed his one great chance. Hanging over the door of the lab oratory of a great automobile com pany is this sentence: "No one ever would have crossed the ocean if he could have got off In the storm." I am not writing this piece to try to make any man contented with a poor Job. There are plenty of instances where men have made their everlasting fortunes by mak ing a fresh start. But more often, I think, the battle is won Just by sitting tight.

( FRANK PARKER 1 FLIES Motoring through Connecticut the other day I stopped for a bite in a good-sized town. To my am azement the principal restaurant of the place was swarming with flies,, which were crawling unre strained over the food. I did not eat there. The danger of flies seems not yet to have penetrated everywhere. It has been said by someone that it takes three generations for any new fact to filter down through all levels of intelligence to the lowest It is less than forty years since the dis covery was made that flies are the chief carriers of typhoid fever. In the big cities and in most pro gressive small towns, public health authorities now compel the covering of garbage and other filth in which flies breed. The automobile has done a great deal, practically eliminat ing the horse stable, once the flies' chief breeding ground. In the gen eral clean-up of Europe since the war long steps have been taken, un til there is at least one town in It aly, Monteoatini, which boasts that it has not a single fly! HELIOPHOBES Are you a heliophile or a helio phobe? Everybody is one or the other. Heliophiles love the sunshine and thrive under exposure to sun light Heliophobes are the unfor tunate blondes who do not tan but burn and blister and sometimes be come seriously ill in the effort to acquire the golden-brown skins of the more fortunate heliophiles. A skin specialist in a New York hospital estimates that more than 200,000 working days are lost in that city every year from illness due to abouf foods from SSf&t "I learned almut foods" from Mrs. Kennedy next door. I noticed that every morning she started out with a shopping basket, but It wasn't until I ate one of her delightful dinners that I learned why. Now I go with her and we both buy our foods from the "West's Favorite Food Stores" because we grt the best quality and price when we make our own personal selection.

These heliophobe suffer ers are usually of the blonde North European and Scandinavian type, coming from a stock bred for count less generations in the high alti tudes where sunlight is scanty and indirect The perfect heliophile, on the other hand, usually has a strain of Mediterranean blood, Italian, Greek, Spanish or Semitic. DREAMS "One must have some daring if one is to live one's dreams," said Captain Wolfang Von Gronau as he landed his flying boat in New York harbor after flying over from Ger many by way of Iceland, Greenland and Labrador. This pioneer of a new trans-Atlantic air route dared to try to realize a dream which he had had for years. All have dreams of things we would like to do; few of us have the daring to attempt to make the dreams come true. "Many loved truth, and lavished Life's best oil Amid the dust oflooks to find her," So wrote James Russell Lowell in his great Commemoration Ode.

BLAKELY Manager the poet saw the truth clearly: "They love her best who to them selves are true And what they dare to dream of, dare to do." BANKING One of the things which is certain to change greatly in the course of the next few years is the banking business in the smaller communi ties. The small local bank has not fa cilities, in most Instances, to take care of the legitimate business needs of its community. Some sys tem which will distribute credit equally oer the whole nation at all seasons will be worked out In Congress, where the final ans wer will be given, the contest is between "chain" banking and branch banking, with branch bank ing in the lead. One member of Congress has sug gested that branch banks on wheels armored cars may eventually travel between banking centers and the smallest villages, transacting banking business for an hour or two on certain days of the week in each community. Something like that may come about CHANEY The death of Lon Chaney is a genuine loss to the world. He was an entertainer of the first order, alike in his proper person, in which he appeared in "Tell It to the Mar ines," and in the marvelous dis guises and contorted make-ups which he used in other films. Chaney s career was a demonstra tion of the American belief that op portunity awaits every boy or girl who is able to seize-it His youth ful handicaps were tremendous. His parents were deaf-mutes, his father a barber on small wages. Whatever he was to accomplish he had to do for himself. He strug gled for years on the stage and won his first great success in pictures when he was nearly forty. But he brought to pictures a knowledge of stagecraft and the art of acting, learned by years of poorly paid ap prenticeship. No man or woman ever became a great artist in any field without such a background of uninteresting drudgery.
