HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 25, 1931. PAGE THREE THE THREE D'S There have been many serious conferences in this year of tough business, and recently I attended one of them. The problem was whether a cer tain industry, which was encounter ing difficulties, could be kept going. Three men spoke; their remarks were about as follows: First Man: Conditions are much worse than anybody is willing to admit Car loadings are off; steel production is flat; the automobile industry is on its back; every bus iness barometer points down. You can argue that the country has faced the same situation before and has come through. But this Is dif ferent. Now America is a world power, dependent on world mar kets. Wherever you look in the world you see nothing tut trouble. I think that any enterpiise which is losing money ought to be stopped. We are not justified in taking chances. Second Man: I wouldn't go as far as the first speaker. Things are undeniably bad and may get worse, but I do not think we are justified in assuming that the world is going busted. What we need is plenty of time to get all the facts and talk them over and be sure we are right. I suggest we appoint a committee, and then we can meet again in a couple of weeks and have another conference. Third Man: I disagree with ev erything that has been said. This depression isn't different from a hundred others that have preceded it. Always people lose hope just when the turn is about to come. Always it is argued that "conditions this time are different" I do not see that we shall gain anything by appointing committees or delaying action. What we need is not more facts but more guts. I am in favor of going to work right now to pull this business through. Men divide themselves into differ ent classifications which are called by various names. There are the optimists who are consistently hopeful and the pessimists who al ways fear the worst. There are what the psychologists term "Introverts," those whose eyes are turned inward, the brooders, the hypocondriacs, the mystics; and the "extraverts," whose vision is out ward and forward. , In good days it Is not so easy to distinguish, but these past few months have been a testing time. They have divided all men into three great groups: The Defeatists who say condi tions are different; it can't be done. The Debaters who say, let us ap point a commission and adjourn un til another time. The Doers who say, let us pick out the toughest problem and hit it first. Each of us falls Into one or the other of these groups. In which one are you? MEAT Meat packers are making a great to-do over the advice of the U. S. Public Health Service that people should eat less meat in Summer. The packers have sent a protest to the Government, saying that Eski mos live on meat the year around and do not suffer from it This is an interesting example of the way in which commercial inter ests try to influence Governmental affairs. The public health is a sec ondary consideration with the pack ers; they are concerned with selling more meat Americans are the largest meat eaters in the world. Also we have the highest rate of deaths from heart disease and hardening of the arteries. I asked an eminent heart specialist the other day whether there was any connection between these two facts. His reply was that meat is a highly concentrated source of muscular energy which should be used sparingly by every body who does not regularly do a great deal of heavy physical work or exercise. "Eat what you like, but all in moderation," was his advice, which sounds like good common sense. GAMBLING A colored man In Boston won $150,000 in a gambling pool on the British Derby. Thousands of other Americans won large sums and the city newspapers have printed col umns about their winnings, which will make It easier for the sellers of chances on these events to rope In more suckers next year. Lotter ies and other forms of gambling are Illegal In most of the United StnteB, but it Is questionable wheth- er they do any more harm than un limited speculation in stocks or grain. The desire to get something for nothing is inherent in human nature. Mankind has always gam bled and always will. Nevada has recently legalized gambling and is licensing gambling establishments. A curious result of this Is that a great gambling cen ter will be set up close to the Gov ernment's "model city" at the Boul der Dam, on a twenty-acre strip which the authorities overlooked in acquiring land for the town site. Prohibition laws, it is said, will be strictly enforced, but it is easy to foretell where a considerable part of the wages paid to workers on the big dam will go. DIESEL Walter Lees and Frederick Bros sy recently flew their airplane over Jacksonville Beach for 84 hours and 33 minutes without refueling. The engine that made It possible for them to stay so long in the air is the latest application to aviation of the invention of the late Rudolf Diesel, an engine which uses crude oil instead of gasoline, and ignites its fuel by the heat of compressed air and so needs no electrical ig nition system. Diesel engines today drive half of the world's ships, at a third of the operating cost of steam-engines. Building them light enough to fly with is a problem which engineers are beginning to overcome. The new Navy Zeppelins being built at Akron will have Diesel en gines. So will most of the airplanes and airships of the near future. Fif ty years from now some other kind of engine may supplant the Diesels In turn. TELEVISION So many miracles have been per formed by science in the past few years that we are ready to believe that anything is possible. That ex plains why the public has been so easily "sold" on the idea that be- Aspirin BEWARE OF IMITATIONS nntf for th name Baver and the the nackaee as pictured alxive when you buy Aspirin.

Scientific experimenters in this field are not so confident The tech nical problems to be overcome are the most difficult they have ever en countered. Leaders in radio devel opment are hopeful but not certain. H. P. Davis, "father of broadcast ing," Lee De Forest, inventor of the radio tube, Harold A. La Fount, of the Federal Radio Commission, Ray H. Manson, president of the Institute of Radio Engineers, and several others have' recently stated that it will be years before broad cast television will be commercially practical, if at all. Today a small picture in motion can be sent by radio, or better by wire, over apparatus which costs about $100,000 at each end of the line. That is, the best that has been done so far. Thousands of clever engineers are working on the prob lem of improving and cheapening television, but few are willing to promise anything very definite. PROGRESS New York was the last city in America to abandon the old-fashioned horse-drawn street-cars, the last of which ran up to a couple of years ago. But it is the first large city to abolish the steam locomo tive. All passenger trains entering New York city from any direction have been drawn by electric locomotives for several years. Steam engines are still used for hauling freight trains on the West side of Manhat tan Island, and in parts of Brook lyn, as well as on Staten Island, where the Baltimore & Ohio has its port terminals. But the last steam locomotive is to be taken off Man hattan Island this summer. It is exactly 100 years Jince the first steam-drawn passenger train ran on a railroad in America. There were railroads, with horses to draw the cars, for a hundred years before that. There will still be railroads a hundred years from now, but the method of running trains may be something we of today do not dream of, any more than our great-grandfathers dreamed of electric motors. Perhaps the air-propellers driven by Diesel-type engines will putt the fast freight from New York to Frisco in a day on high elevated tracks in 2031. Perhaps some means of propulsion by rockets will be used. All we can be sure of is that the speed will be greater.

Our opinion is that the thing peo ple of Oregon are most Interested in, is not which town gets the vet erans hospital, but will Oregon get it Family fights over matters of this kind are not helpful and they may finally disgust the government to the extent that the hospital will go to another state. Selfish Inter ests should be put aside In matter of this kind. However, if Western Oregon can't settle this matter there are many towns in Eastern Oregon in a receptive mood. Mr. and Mrs. L. Van Marter mo tored to Ritter springs Saturday, returning Sunday by way of Spray. . Fossil and Condon. The longer route home was necessitated by heavy rains which were reported to have made the mountain dirt roads impassable. George Cook and mother depart ed for The Dalles the first of the week. Mrs. Cook will make her home with her son there for a time. James Higgins, Lena stockman, was doing business in the city Saturday. Government experts find that the average family wastes $60 worth of food a year wastes it because this food spoils before it can be used! Just think of the dabs of sour milk and cream, the spoiled fruits and vegetables, the scraps of meat and leftovers you now have to throw into the garbage can every week! $60 worth every year! A General Electric refrigerator can save you that $60 by keeping all your food fresh, wholesome fit for use. And with a G.E. you can buy practically all your food on Satur days when price are lower. Your G.E. keeps them fresh and de licious throughout the week. All these savings in a year's time will total $120 and more. It's real economy to own a General Electric refrigerator. Have one now.
