He Speaks for Others, Too
Apparently the John Day Valley Ranger was
late last week for down in the right hand corner
of page one is a note from the editor which has
a familiar ring. Under the, heading "If Paper Is
Late Here's Why," Editor Glen Chandler un
burden's himself of some of the woes that make
the life of a country journalist interesting if not
cheerful. "At ' this writing, its three o'clock in
the morning; ye editor is having plenty of grief
and is wondering how he will get out this issue. It
may be a day late; it may be two days late, and
a good many items will have to be omitted. The
reason: our Linotype has gone "haywire" this
week and we're having a heck of a time trying to
keep it running. Under normal conditions, we
would have little trouble in getting replacement
parts and skilled machinists to make the necessary
repairs ... but now . . . well, we hope our sub
scribers know what we're up against . . and will
bear with us.
It might be added that in addition to linotype
troubles, the editor put off writing his editorial
column until the last thing; people kept coming
in with news items long after the deadline; the
fire went out and the news ink was stiff and
sticky, and to boot, the metal in the casting box
ran cold and the cuts had to be cast over. All this
and more too contributed to the Gazette Times'
failure to make the mail last week, which accounts
for the even and genial disposition of the editor
about three o'clock Friday mornings.

It Is Everybody's War
We are well into the third year of the war and
the end is not yet in sight. Already huge sums
colossal sums, we might say have been subscrib
ed by the people and still the call comes for more
money, vastly more. And this time, in the Fourth
War Loan campaign, it is up to the people, not
just a few investors, but the people en masse, to
buy bonds as they never bought before. This has
been fixed by the directors of the war loan drive
on the basis of previous drives which show that
not as many people have bought bonds as should
have. Consequently, here in Morrow county we
find a quota of approximately $10-000 more in
"E" bonds than in the third campaign, when har
vest money was plentiful and also when our
graingrowers and stockmen shouldered the burden
and boosted a quota of $368,700 to more than
$524,000.
In this war financing an oversubscription of a
i bond issue is not credited to a previous or a suc
ceeding issue. It may readily be understood that
many of those who invested heavily in the fall
will not be in position to assume responsibility
for the major portion of the present loan. They
will do their share, but not in the proportion of
the tihrd campaign. That leaves it up to the
smaller buyers, Mr. and Mrs. John Citizen and
all the little Citizens to strain the family budgets
and empty the piggy banks for all they can scrape
up. Your Uncle Samuel needs the money to buy
more bombs, build more airplanes and battle
wagons and transports, to provide more food and
clothing and all the countless other expenditures
necessitated by the prosecution of the war. There1
is scarecely one of us not affected in a direct way
by this titanic struggle none but who have rela
tives either close or distant at the front or on the
way there and we can't let these brave lads and
lassies down.
Before you plan too much on what you are
going to buy with your money, stop and figure
. how much you will invest in your government
first.
O
They Should Finish School
A few weeks ago this column called attention to
a growing tendency of high school youths to quit
school for a life roaming the country. It was
pointed out that the tendency had not been appar
ent in Morrow county and the hope was expressed
that our schools would not be faced with this
problem. It appears that the "fever" has hit this
area and is causing school authorities some
concern. .
In a matter of this kind, advice seems out of
order. Appeal is the proper step and that is the
thought in mind at this time. To those boys, and
possibly girls, who have the urge to leave school
now, especially those who have but a short time
to go to finish their high school work, permit the
suggestion that you remain and get your diplomas.
There is one time and one time only to get that
prized and vauabe piece of paper and that is with
the rest of the class with which you have climbed
the ladder grade by grade. If you let that oppor
tunity pass it may never come to you again and in
later years you will reproach yourself for having
been shortsighted in your youth.
There may be a desire on the part of 17-18 year
old boys to get into the service. That is under
standable. The boys know they will be drawn an
due time and feel that they have a better chance
to select the type of service they want. To those
boys it may be pointed out that they will have a
better chance for advancement in the type of ser
vice they want if they have their high school
diplomas. They will be better prepared for a
type of training that calls for more schooling, and
that is an opportunity which they can ill afford to
overlook.
If quitting school to roam awhile, consider the
difficulties involved transportation, housing,

A Bit of Pre-Wor America
A bit of pre-war America is to be found at the
basketball games. American youth, deprived of
much that characterized life before Pearl Harbor,
still clings to school traditions and this is made
clear at the gymnasium when rival teams are
competing for district honors as in the case of the
Big Wheat League games being played in Hepp
ner and elsewhere in the district.
It is worthwhile to join the young people in an
evening of excitement and uncertainty. Their
noise is the natural outlet for youthful exuberance
and a little of that exuberance is quite frequently
exhibited by adult followers of the game. The
troubles of the world are left behind for an hour
or two, although we are ever mindful of the great'
struggle taking place on many fronts and on the
seas, and there is a measure of pride in backing
the home team, especially when it is winning.
The young folks are entitled to commendation
for carrying on in the face of difficulties-If older
ears find the cheering and the band a little dis
turbing just bear in mind that it is not as disturb
ing as bursting bombs and not nearly so devas
tating. It's the young people's ,show and a good
one. They are entitled to support from patrons
and the general public.

Speaking of weather oldtimers say this sec
tion is getting back to normal. But don't get to
thinking spring has come. It. is a safe guess that
there will be some weather yet. The current
brand is pleasant after a long siege of fog and
frost, but farmers and stockmen would like to see
some moisture. Most of them feel that the bumper
yield years have passed, although a reason
able amount of moisture in the spring and early
summer will make a fair crop this year. The boom
days have been easy to take and it is hoped that
Mothier Nature will continue with her blessings
and keep these old Morrow county hills flowering
in golden grain and verdant grass.
o
California gets credit for the unusual but once
in a long time something of that nature happens
in Oregon. A grass fire in mid-January in Mor
row county, for instance.
