We'll wager that Little Johnny's begnining to worry about the fate of Lil Abner and whether he'll ever get to see his favorite of the comics again. Dad may be keeping up on the grain market by radio, but mom's probably beginning to slip a little in her bridge already and wondering if her last set of molars are still in style. We may not care a whoop what the political situation is in Washington, but wouldn't it be good to see if the editor has his ears knocked down yet on recent versions with which we didn't agree. For all we know the Japs may have sunk Uncle Sam's fleet, John L. Lewis may have marched on Washington with his army to force the abdication of President Roose velt, or there may have been a full bearded baby girl born to a pink es kimo at the equator. Maybe tele vision sets are being offered on the market, or Wally and the Duke have broken down and decided to accept that movie contract. Of course any such happenings would be rumored over the air in between praise for the powers of rejuvenation of "New Life" salts, but if they did wouldn't it be good to read all the details in your fa vorite daily? All joking aside, it is tough to be without the metropolitan daily news paper with its complete coverage of state, national and foreign affairs, which no other vehicle of informa tion satisfactorily supplants. The metropolitan daily is an es sential cog in the wheels of progress of modern civilization, and those conducting the destinies "of the Port land papers are entitled to credit for a high conception of the place their institutions are intended to fill. The typographers now out on strike were met more than half way when the newspaper managers offered to let the unions select the head of a board of arbitration through which differ ences could be worked out amicably without forcing the papers to sus pend publication and working hard ship on managers, employees and the public alike. By enforcing the walk-out the union councils have defied arbitra tion as an accepted method of effect ing agreements. The union councel lors are bludgeoning through a course that, if achieved, will not be achieved, because accedance to the demands would result in a contract impossible for the managers to ful fill. High wages are fine if income is compensatory. But if wages are be yond the realm of payment from revenues, then the business must nl timately fail, and with the failure comes the loss of the positions of those who are not satisfied to work for what the business is able to pay. If the union demands are just, those making the demands should welcome a fair and impartial hear ing. If they are not just, no end of bludgeoning will make them so. Be fore resumption of publication in any event, there must be an agree ment reached and the shut-down in the interim is a dead loss to every one. The skilled mechanics on the Port land newspapers have long been well treated, and by and large, were loyal and contented. From this angle the walk-out appears entirely uncalled for. We hope that differences will soon be settled amicably and that we may again soon have our morn ing paper. What to Do? AFTER going through a depres sion such as that which started in 1929 when the best laid plans and most assiduous efforts of individuals went awry there has been hesitancy on the part of the individual in mapping his own future course. A general inclination to look to Wash ington for guidance in. everything has prevailed. Such a situation is but natural, but in a democracy where individual effort is essential to progress, there must be a sensible undertaking tow ard the future on the part of the in dividual if the country is to work itself out of the maze of political uncertainty and social unrest. Government leaders recognize the need in promoting planning agen cies for every line of endeavor. There is nothing mysterious, occult or rad ical about the idea. It is just plain, common horse sense such as was used by our fathers and great grand fathers and their great great grand fathers before them who battled life's problems successfully. It is purely a matter of budgeting time and re sources toward expected accomplish ment. It is heartening that the state agricultural extension service is pro viding trained help in assisting ag riculture' of the various counties to orient itself in the national and world picture and to help point the way toward intelligent future pro duction. Naturally, it is for the farm men and women themselves to pro vide information and in the last an alysis to make individual decisions as to their course. Much individual confidence should be engendered, however, by know ing insofar as possible how time, ef forts and resources may be applied to bring the greatest returns. Such programs in every line of endeavor should be helpful in coordinating the efforts of all to bring about a more abundant life, socially and aes thetically as well as economically. Three Games on Tap; Arlington Tomorrow This week's basketball schedule provides no let up for the Heppner quintet that won over Fossil and Irrigon last Friday and Saturday, as Arlington, Mac Hi, and Hermis ton are the programmed opponents of the locals in games to be played here Friday, Saturday and the fol lowing Tuesday. Tomorrow's tilt, the first of this three game series against a trio of the toughest teams in this sector, pits Heppner with the league-leading Arlington outfit. Once victor ious over the Mustangs, the Honk ers bring to town a lanky aggrega tion of six-footers that has been going on scoring sprees in its most recent contests. In Saturday's meet, Heppner faces off with the rapidly improving Mac Hi squad from Milton-Freewater. A school of class A division, the Pioneers have always been popular here because of their sportsmanlike style of play. McLaughlin Hi sent a team to the state tournament last spring, but this year's basketball five has none of the same members on it ,as graduation took every let terman. The following Tuesday, Heppner meets Hermiston, the institution that takes on all comers regardless of size of school, and generally known as a battling bunch of bas keteers. Finalist in the district tour nament, the Bulldogs are paced by their high-scoring forward, Gerald Keller who was an all-star at the Arlington tournament. Heppner's basketball play of late is more improved than at any time this season. The greatest improve ment has been in the fighting spirit displayed in the last two victories. In some of the previous frays, the attitude of the team was one that dealt the idea that it did not care whether it won or not, but this for merly unfavorable position seems to have taken a serious change for the better. The Mustang line-up received a staggering blow with the announce ment by the Oregon High School Athletic association that La Verne Van Marter, Heppner key-man, would be ineligible for competition this semester. In the games following the one with Arlington, Coach Knox of the Mustangs will tentatively shift Doug Drake, six-foot forward, to the va cant center position and start Bill Barratt, junior reserve at Drake's forward post. Milt Morgan has the edge on the other forward spot with Coxen and Aiken favored to open as guards. All three of the coming games are set for the local gymnasium at 8 p. m., tomorrow, Saturday, and Tuesday. FFA Battlers Draw In Condon Smoker Heppner and Condon FFA battlers fought to a draw on total points at a smoker held in Condon on Wed nesday evenings of last week. In the first bout Cimmiyotte, 120 lbs., won by decision over Leland Edmondson, 114-pound local youth. Rufus Hill, 130, Heppner, fought Rex Lantis, 136, an exciting draw. Again in the 130-pound class Dick Wilkinson lost to his Condon op ponent,, Dude Edwards, on points, but showed much promise for fu ture smokers. An exhibition bout was staged by Clayton Wright and Richard Hayes, both of Heppner. Dean Gilman won decisively over Condon's Campbell, showing his us ual hard hitting ability. Howard Patton and Condon's Howard Moore brought the crowd to their feet sev eral times with a thrilling draw ex hibition. John Hayes won nicely from Condon's Bil Hardie, knocking Hardie down in the second round. ATTEND RIVER MEETING Judge Bert Johnson, C. J. D. Bau man, J. O. Turner and R. P. Kinnje were among local men attending a celebration in The Dalles yesterday in recognition of reinstatement of navigation on the Columbia river, and reception for Colonel Robins, divisional army engineer who has supervised the work at Bonneville.
