Who Should Save Paper?
Printers and publishers over the land are prac
ticing economies neyer before deemed necessary
to meet diminishing supplies of fine printing pa
pers and newsprint. Up to the present the situation
has not been serious, because of the foresighted
ness of paper manufacturers and wholesalers in
adopting a system of distribution to forestall a
Sudden depletion of stocks. But there are grow
ing signs that greater economies will have to be
effected if the printing industry is to carry on for
the duration.
The industry has met certain cuts in supplies un
complainingly. In the light of national security,
although included in the list of essential indus
tries, it is unreasonable for this public service to
expect favors at the expense of other essential
services so printers and publishers are playing
their part as members of the team rather than
stars.
It is believed that other businesses using paper
and paper goods in quantities are trying to meet
the government's demands in the matter of paper
economy. The wholesaler uses less packaging ma
terial. Many sizes of cardboard cartons have been
discontinued, envelope boxes are a little shorter
the list goes on indefinitely.
And what are these economies being effected
for? Presumably to provide ample packaging for
war materiel. It is doing that and more too. It is
providing the various bureaus with material to
clutter up the mails with a lot of non-essential
articles which not one in ten persons will take
time to read stuff that is franked and which if
90 percent of it were discontinued, there would be
less demand for increased posta rates. This of
fice received six envelopes in one mail the past
week from the treasury department in Portland.
Six copies of the same form letter and we are ,
not hesitant to admit that we were little interest
ed in the contents. If the bureau sending out those
six envelopes had to pay the prevailing rate of
postage there would have been five less parcels
in the mail. On the other hand, on Monday we re
ceived a very formal wedding announcement. The
usual inside envelope was missing. It would be
illegal to use the extra envelope in this time of ex
treme national distress, if not illegal .at least
unpatriotic, and the printer being a patriotic citi
zen, is conforming. But the bureaus can send six
copies of one form letter to the same address and
that is both legal and patriotic.
This instance is cited to show that ma,ny not
all, we hope people in government jobs feel that
all regulations set up by the government are for
the poor sucker commonly referred to as John
Citizen and not for them. In other words what
the people save the bureaus can waste.
O
We Should Be Thankful
' That title may lead the gentle reader to think
that a Thanksgiving editorial is just around the
corner, and well it might be with the day of na
tional observance just one week in the offing,
but what is in mind at the moment is another
thanksgiving observance of the blessings nature
has bestowed upon that certain portion of Mother
Earth designated on the map as Oregon. To give
all people who believe credit should be given
where it is due, an opportunity to express their
thanks, the Oregon Roadside Defense council has
asked Governor Earl Snell to proclaim the Sunday
before Thanksgiving "as a day on which all the
worshippers of God should praise the Lord for
His goodness by devoting the services in their
churches on that day to this purpose." Governor
Snell has designated November 21 as the day for
such an observance.
To quote a council statement: "In Oregon we
have a 6urfeit of natural beauty, miles upon miles
of open country, matchless forests, rushing rivers,
snowcapped mountains, and the rugged grandeur
of the seacoast. These are ours to possess and
enjoy."
Are we as mindful of the great gifts bestowed
upon us by nature? Are we sufficiently impressed
to give thanks where thanks are due? It will be
refreshing, to say nothing of enlightening, to note
the number of people willing to lay aside things
temporal for an hour to go to church and offer
thanks to the great Creator for all the glorious
beauty and natural resources with which he has
so abundantly blessed our state.
Again quoting the Council: 'God must have
loved Oregon, He made the state so beautiful.
Nor do we serve Oregon better or honor ourselves
more than when we defend and increase the beau
ty of every roadside and every scene. Great for
happiness! Great for inspiration; Great for life!
Oregon!"
O
goal was reached early this week
and it is expected the total will
exceed the amount sought.
The task of raising a fund of
$4500 for charitable purposes
was placed in the hands of B.
E. Isom of Heppner. He includ
ed in his organization a group
of people who took their job se
riously as the results of the cam
paign show. It is not an alto
gether easy assignment to con
vince many people that they
should contribute to the fund
and this fact makes the job done
by the committee the more commendable.
