Hew Much Is a Billion?
In these days of billions, instead of millions,
how many of us really, appreciate just how much
a billion dollars is? To the average person it's an
awful lot of money.
Statisticians have figured out, however, that if
a person born at the time of Christ had been given
a billion dollars to spend at the rate of $1,000 a
day and could live until his money was gone, he
would still have about 800 years to go. By now
he would just about have finished spending his
first seven hundred million dollars!
Read that last paragraph again; then reflect so
berly on this astounding fact: During 1943 Feder
al expenditures totalled 88 billion dollars, or ap
proximately 241 million dollars every 24 hours.
Do you envy the members of the appropriations
committees in Congress who are now holding
hearings on the one hundred billion dollar federal
budget tax for the next fiscal year?
We Must Not Fail
We are in the third week of the Red Cross war
fund drive and the goal is still hidden behind a
cloud of indifference. A county that always goes
way beyond the quota on bonds can ill afford to
fall asleep at the switch when a plea comes for
outright giving to war activities and Morrow is not
really asleep just a little groggy from the rou
tine of drives.
As we enter the home stretch there should be a
quickening of the pace and a fast conclusion of the
campaign. There will be other and bigger demands
as the war progresses and we will have to face
the situation with determination and fortitude as
well as with a smile. So, let us get the current
drive over with and take a short breather before
the next funds campaign.
O
Former Governor Announces
, Entrance of Charles A. Sprague, former gover
nor of Oregon, into the race for the toga of the
latcSenator McNary lends assurance of some live
ly campaigning before the primary election. Spra
gue undeniably will be a formidable contender
since his term of office as governor gave him
many contacts that will now stand him in good
stead. If he can oyercome his reticence to "glad
hand" the voters and really let them know that he
wants the job it is likely that he will be counted
out in front in the approaching campaign. A great
many republicans still feel that he should, have
had a second term as governor, if he really want
ed it, and most of these will be ready to support
him for senator.
Old Man Winter may be on his way out but he
still has considerable punch left, or did have be
fore his effective comeback the fore part of the
week. We lost our urge to plant garden.
O '
When we learn that it requires 1,800,000 gal
lons of 100 octane gasoline for a six-hour mission
by 1,000 four-engine bombers we may appreciate
the necessity of curbing home consumption of the
"vital fluid."
