Local Man's Opinion
In National Year Book
A. H. (Al) Bergstrom has received
notice from The Paebar Company,
Inc., publishers of "The Year Book
of Public Opinion," that a communi
cation of his published in the Port
land Oregonian a few months ago
has been incornorated in their vol
ume of 1937 and 1938 quotations. The j
letter to the Oregonian editor dealt
with the highway situation in the
Gooseberry section at the time of
the heavy snow in the winter of
1937, pleading for closer coopera
tion between county and state high
way officials in keeping the roads
open.
In giving Mr. Bergstrom notice of
his article's reproduction, the year
book publishers said, in part: "As
one who has voiced your opinions
through the medium of the press,
you belong to that alert and intelli
gent society which is so influential
in molding an informed public opin
ion. Keeping abreast of current
thought is a necessity to you. But
the bewildering mass of material re
lating to the contemporary scene
simply cannot be encompassed. Few
will disagree with Voltaire's obser
vation, The multiplicity of facts and
writings is become so great that
everything must soon be reduced to
extracts.' If that was Voltaire's be
lief a century and a half ago, what
would he say of the present?"

son, 155, fourth; Jack Edmondson

fifth. Mr. Belanger, county agent,
was final .judge. All persons judg-

ing had to give reasons. After judg
