Get Out Your Bayonet
A Guest Editorial by Ronald Callvert,
Associate Editor, The Oregortian
Oregon's quota in the third war loan is 104 mil
lion dollars, whose fulfillment requires an average
subscription of $150 from every employed
Oregonian. -
The national quota of the first war loan was
over subscribed four million dollars; the second
was oversubscribed five, billion... "We did it be
fore and we can do it again." And in the second'
war loan, Oregon-prepared promotion material
was widely used. The campaign in this state at
tained national recognition. Special awards were
made to men who created some of the material.
We place our confidence in the success of the
drive in Oregon. The money is here. And more
than in either preceding drive has the public con--sciousness
been aroused of the sacrifices made by
the men and women in the armed services, with
which anything we give up at home in luxury or
desires, or anything we surrender in even normal
comfort if that were called for which it is not
bears no comparison.
In the present drive Oregon material is empha
sizing "invasion"; its pictorial symbol is the fixed
bayonet, accompanied by such slogans as "Every
bond helps open the way to Berlin" the victor
ious conclusion of the war. As indeed it does.
Get out your bayonet.
O
The Big Push Is On
Just when the long-expected European invasion
is about to begin, word comes that the folks back
home have grown lethargic about providing the
funds for the sinews of war. This lethargy has not
been in evidence among the larger purchasers of
bonds. They have come forth handsomely. Rather
it is seen mostly in the apathetic attitude of the
smaller buyers. This shoud not be. Every one of
us should invest what we can. To do less is to shirk
our patriotic duty.
Figures have not been tabulated locally, but es
timates have been quoted that in Morrow county
there are 2,000 prospective bond purchasers. In
the present campaign less than 300 of these 2,000
prospects have laid the money on the line. That
is too small a percentage. If we are to uphold the
well earned reputation of Morrow county as a
leader in war support we will have to move fast
the next few days.
Remember this: if we slow down on the home
front we can't expect the boys out there to main
tain their speed, much less increase it in the forth
coming drive to Berlin.
O
A Good Start
A recent New York Times story from Chicago
says that Chester Bowles, acting administrator of
the OPA, said in an interview that merchants
should be protected against "needless meddling,
snooping and gestapo methods." That is good news
to hundreds of thousands of merchants who have
been doing their level best to help carry out the
complicated and multitudinous OPA rulings. The
American people do not like snoopers and
persecutors.
Merchants and consumers alike know that the
OPA must be supported. Anything Mr. Bowles can
do to simplify OPA methods and conduct its op
erations along truly American lines of fair play,
will gain public approval and cooperation.
Mr. Bowles would have to spend a week in.
a grocery store to find out what the local mer
chant is up against in trying to comply with OPA
regulations. . It is almost a safe bet that. neither
Mr. Bowles nor any of his official family would
attempt to road or comply with the blanks and
forms with which the average merchant is bom
barded by the OPA, without consulting a lawyer
and the small merchant has no iawyer.
An outstanding food store authority says more
than 7,800 pages, averaging at least 2,000 words
each, must be comprehended and complied with
by food retailers. How many OPA officials, with
no customers clamoring to be waited on,xor ration,
stamps to sort, could read, much less comprehend,
such an overwhelming array of regulations and
red tape?
Surely there is some way to simplify, rather
than complicate OPA-practices, in the interest of
the producers, the merchants, and the consumers,
thinks the Industrial News Review.

Joe Marsh
At Jeb Crowell's the other day,
we were havin' a glass of beer
or two and talkin' about the
kind of world there'd be when
Peace came.
"Hear they'll have trans-Atlan-tic
airplanes flyin' regular as
taxi service," says Ed Carey.
"Yep," says Will Frost, "and
television and plastic cars and
air-conditioned homes and
super-duper highways."
Finally, Doc Mitchell chimes
in. "You know," he says, "we're
talkin' about the future In terms
of luxuries-like air-conditioned
houses and television.
"Bat what realiy will shape to
morrow's world is what goes on
in men's ow n hearts . . . like tol
erance and understanding."
And from where I sit, Doc's
right. Whether it's tolerance of
another's politics or respect for
a neighbor's right to enjoy a.
glass of beer occasionally, toler
ance is a mighty good founda
tion for a peacetime world.
