DON'T BE A SLACKER!
IN WAR TIME the able-bodied,
unencumbered man who devised
to dodge the draft was called a
slacker. The name was anathema
to every loyal American. The slack
er was hated, despised. Why? Be
cause it was the recognized duty of
good citizenship for every such man
to ari3e in the emergency to pro
tect the life and liberty of Ameri
cans to preserve intact American
institutions.
In war time the flower of Ameri
ca was impressed Into duty. How
gratifying it is that the slackers
were few that the seed of patriot
ism took root so abundantly.
Now another emergency is at
hand threatening the life and lib
erty of the American people, gnaw
ing at the vital organs of Ameri
can homes and institutions. It is
an emergency calling for a different
classification of soldiers. There has
been no mandatory act that these
soldiers arise to the defense of
tbeir country So far those who
fail to enlist are not given the
odious name that was applied to
the war time shirker. But the Im
plication remains. The duty of
good citizenship has not changed
since the guns of the Great War
ceased firing.
Coincident with the beginning of
the nation-wide celebration of the
200th anniversary of the birth of
the Father of His Country, Presi
dent Hoover has issued an appeal
to the American people to bring
from hiding the millions of dollars
that have been hoarded. This, in
effect, is a call to arms of the sol
diers needed in the present emer
gency from the commander in chief.
Will these soldiers arise and step
into the breech in this emergency
as did America's able-bodied youth
in war time? In what more fitting
manner could tribute be paid to the
name of Washington than for each
to be able to say when the crisis is
past: "General, you have showed
me the way, and I have done my
duty"?
The present emergency is found
ed upon economic ills, the magni
tude and ramifications of which
seem to be almost incomprehensi
ble. The whole world is stricken,
and the effect has demoralized in
dustry. Millions of men in the Uni
ted States are out of employment
Bank failures have surpassed all
former records. All of which has
caused fear to grip the hearts of
the people. Many economists say
this fear has done more to stagnate
industry and throw people out of
employment than any other single
factor. An example of what this
fear has done is cited in the case
of the New York millionaire who
went to the bank and drew out a
million dollars in gold and placed
it in a safety deposit box Thous
ands of other people have similar
ly withdrawn their money from the
channels of industry, making an es
timated total of many millions that
has been hoarded away. Undoubt
edly there are instances in Morrow
county.
President Hoover Bays that the
money so withdrawn represents
from eight to ten times its face
value in credit lost to the country.
The effect has been to curtail the
lending power of banks to the point
where they are powerless to assist
anyone, no matter how good the
security offered. All lines of in
dustry have been forced to decrease
expenditures to a minimum. As a
result more and more people have
been thrown out of employment
Unemployment in many places
has reached the point where local
agencies cannot cope with the sit
uation. Dire need threatens to rob
many good American citizens of
their very right to life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
If the hoarding of money is per
sisted in it will not be long, some
economists say, before the country
will be reduced to the basis of bar
ter.
To allay the fear of the people
and to encourage them to return
their money to the banks, or Invest
It, and to resume a normal stand
ard of living the government has
provided the Reconstruction Fin
ance Act by means of which great
er security is given all financial ln
. stltutlons. It is the aim to assist
insolvent banks to liquidate frozen
assets that they may be put on a
firm foundation, and to follow a
more liberal rediscount policy with
other banks that their lending pow
er may be strengthened Rail
roads, farmers and others will be
permitted to obtain loans direct
from the government in order to
eafeguard their investments and be
enabled to continue operations. It
is also expected to have the effect
of strengthening commodity prices.
Already the Instilling of public
confidence by this government
measure has been reflected by the
stock market and the wheat mar
ket Industrial stocks have taken
a new lease on life. Wheat has al
ready returned nearer to the point
where it will return a profit to the
producer .
has already been passed. But a
quick return to normalcy is great
ly dependent, upon the display of
patriotism by the money-hoarders.
The quick return of the millions of
hoarded dollars into the channels
of industry will speed recovery it
will speed the time when Ameri
ca's millions of unemployed men
and women will again be employed,
and, earning a competence, will
again become consumers of the
products of farm, mill and factory
on a normal basis.
That is the hope of President
Hoover. That is what he had in
mind when he discouraged direct
government relief for the jobless.
He knew that the future security
of America and the happiness of
the people depends upon affording
the opportunity for everyone to be
occupied in gainful employment
The best way to speed the day is
the problem he has been battling
and has apparently solved.
The American Legion and Lions
club of Heppner have started a
drive for the relief of local unem
ployment in line witr a nation-wide
movement which has been adopted
as part of the administration pro
gram to speed recovery and give
succor to those in need. It is hoped
that the campaign will meet with
generous response from everyone.
But all the relief that can be given
through supplying of odd jobs can
only be temporary. Permanent so
lution of the unemployment situa
tion can only be had through indus
try generally returning to a nor
mal point And that can only be
accomplished by returning hoarded
money to the channels of industry.
You may have only a hundred
dollars stuck away at home and
may believe that such a small sum
makes no difference. But a hundred
dollars means more to the credit of
Heppner than a million dollars
means to the credit of New York.
And then there may be several hun
dred other people who also have a
hundred dollars put away at home.
If all this money were in the bank
it would furnish credit amounting
to eight or ten times the amount
Wouldn't that make a difference in
business conditions?
If you are one of the persons who
keep any considerable sum of mon
ey more than is needed for your
immediate purchases at home, or
in a safety deposit box, or else
where where it is not working, you
are one of the soldiers appealed to
by the commander in chief It is
to be hoped that you will not earn
the name of slacker.
LOOKS LIKE A GOOD MOVE.
His Spirit Still Leads Us

Remove an individual from his or

scions that grow into weak citizen

THE city council has had under
consideration for some time the
matter of constructing a building
to house the council chambers, city
water office, city library and the
city fire truck. Councilman Good
man had estimated that a building
sufficient for the purpose could be
built for an amount, the interest
on which would not exceed the
amount now being paid by the city
in rentals for housing these va
rious city departments. Mr. Good
man believed it good business for
the city to have its own building
with the better accommodations to
be had therewith when no appre
ciable increase in expense would be
incurred by the having.
Other councilmen expressed a
sympathetic interest and have gone
so far as to investigate the cost of
materials and tentative plans. But
so far no definite action has been
taken.
The city has the ground on which
to build, at the corner of Willow
and Gale streets, should it desire to
do so. .
In line with the policy of the city
government of reducing expendi
tures wherever possible in order to
relieve taxpayers to the fullest ex
tent possible, it was not Mr. Good
man's idea to build elaborately, but
to build a good, fire-proof building
sufficient for the city's immediate
needs. His proposal has been fa
vorably considered by other coun
cilmen, also with the idea that the
building be so limited.
Councilmen and others who are
acquainted with the existing situa
tion recognize the need for better
housing . The present council
chambers are cramped and have
poor heating and ventilating facil
ities. It is impossible to comfort
ably accommodate more than half
a dozen visitors when a full council
it present Facilities are also lack
ing to properly care for city records.
Yet, more urgent is the need for
proper housing of the fire truck
and providing drying space for the
fire hose. At present the room oc
cupied by the truck is barely large
enough to contain it It is next to
impossible to keep the room heat
ed so that the truck may be easily
started at any time. And no fa
cilities whatever exist for properly
taking care of the hose. Consid
ering the cost of the hose alone and
the rapidity with which it deterior
ates when not properly taken care
of, it is evident that it would be
economy to provide facilities for
its proper maintenance. But still
greater economy is seen in the bet-
tre flre protection assured by the
truck and equipment always being
ready to go on a moment's notice,
as could be the case if proper quar
ters and facilities were provided.
No one need be told that every, mo
ment lost in combatting a fire is
dear, and that a delay of a few min
utes may result In the loss of sev
eral hundreds, if not thousands, of
dollars. And, too, the improvement
of fire protection facilities thus af
forded should result in lower insur
ance rates, another saving worthy
of consideration by property hold
ers.
Good argument is advanced for
pushing any building projects now.
Materials appear to be at the low
est price ebb likely to be reached.
Especially is this true of lumber, re
serve stocks of which are reported
to be at the diminishing point
When it becomes necessary to start
mill operations to replace the re
serves a price rise is almost certain
to occur. Thus it appears that the
city would make a saving by build
ing at present low price levels.
Another noteworthy slant on the
matter is presented by the argu
ment that the work provided by
building now would help relieve the
unemployment situation. A large
share of the cost of the building
would go for wages. It would be
possible to employ men now out of
employment who need work. The
money paid out for wages might
not be considered an expense when
it is probable that this money
would almost immediately be spent
in the community for living ex
penses of the wage-earners.
And when it is considered that
the indebtedness incurred for ma
terials could be readily financed,
making it possible for the city to
proceed without issuing bonds, the
project becomes all the more feas-
ble. It looks like a good move.
thetic Interest. Since the Hepp-ner-Spray
road is only a secondary
road while the Pendleton - South
road has long been on the primary
map, it is only to be expected that
hewill devote more effort toward
obtaining completion of the latter.
But his work on the commission
should help to overcome the prop
aganda that has been spread
against spending any more high
way money in eastern Oregon.

JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD
John 10:1-16.
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
Many think that here Jesus is
still addressing the group that Is
watehine the healed blind man dur
ing the aftermath of the Feast of
Tabernacles in Jerusalem in the late
fall of A. D. 29 in this unusually
graphic parable. The Good Shep
herd will bring two items to the
mind of most readers: (1) The pic
ture by Plockhurst, which bears
this title and, (2) The Shepherd
Psalm, the 23rd. It will be especial
ly valuable in connection with this
lesson to study each of the dally
Bible readings, printed in every les
son quarterly. Then there is the
picture "I am the door," the orig
inal being in Oxford, England.
The local aud ence sensed the
meaning of this parable, but it was
necessary for the Teacher to indi
cate the applications as they ap
plied to His never failing care, even
for the smallest lamb. Adequate
provision had been made for the
spiritual safety of each one who
would become His follower. As the
oriental shepherd was able to call
each one in his flock by name, so
our Lord knows each Individual
most intimately, however great may
be the world's throng. The vital
question is, will we heed His voice
and follow as trustingly as does the
sheep when called by name!
Pharisees were seeking to prevent
the teachings of Jesus becoming ef
fective. They certainly were heart
less in their treatment of the heal
ed blind man, when they denied
him the right of their sanctuary
as a place of worship. In marked
contrast to their failure Jesus an-
nounced: "I am the door of the
sheep I am the good shepherd.'
