They Are Looking Ahead
Next to winning the war, the. thing of most con
cern to the people of the United States is winning
the peace. While the country at large is directing
an allout effort toward clearing the world of
gangsterism and outlawry, not a few of our best
thinkers are giving attention to those forces that
may contrive to undo much that our armed forces
will have accomplished ere the Nazis and Japs
are crushed. The time our thinkers are devoting
to post-war problems is not being spent on the
commercial aspect so much as upon the moral at
titude of the people when the rush and drive of
war is over. It is their contention, and one seem
ingly well supported by evidence on all sides, that
unprecedented prosperity creates a disregard for
the proprieties, a disregard for law, and worst of
all, an alarming spread of juvenile delinquency.
Some of these factors were discussed the past
week-end at the Oregon Newspaper Publishers as
sociation convention in Eugene. Three men promi
nent in national affairs discussed the country's po
sition from a wartime standpoint and what we will
be faced with when hostilities cease. One of the
speakers was Frank Lonergan, Grand Exalted Ru
ler of the B. P. O. E of the Uniled States, whose
subject was "What Newspapers Are Doing About
Juvenile Delinquency." He stated that juvenile
delinquency, a major threat to the moral fibre of
the nation, is a special project of the Elks and he
urged a continuance of the splendid program being
carried out by the nation's newspapers in an ef
fort to remedy the situation which be described as
dreadful.
Walter Wanger, outstanding motion picture pro
ducer of Hollywood addressed the group on "Post
War. Is Now." He pled for a relurn to those prin
ciples set out by the Constitution, not particularly
in a political sense but for future stability in our
home and business life.
"America's Opportunity" was the subject han
dled masterfully by Senator Harold H. Burton of
Ohio. He asked for a better understanding be
tween nations, dwelt at some length on national
conditions that will have to be changed and con
cluded with the firm conviction that if America
isjo hold its rightful position as the leader among
nations we will have to reaffirm our belief in the
fatherhood of God and the fellowship of man.
To some, these thoughts presented to the news
paper people may . have the sound of preaching,
but such was not the case. They are the express
ed thoughts of busy men ,who are enough con
cerned about the future to take time out to study
some of the ills from which we are suffering and
'.o offer solutions as they see them. There is hope
for the future when men of this type, high in the
ranks of their chosen fields, speak for a better
world.

Waste Paper Shortage
Few of us realize the importance of waste paper
salvage in the war effort how much depends up
on saving and turning in this vital material. Most
of us are too busy these days to give more than
passing attention to matters outside of our routine
duties and it requires constant hammering at the
public ear to keep at least part of the "extra cur-
ricular" duties activated by the war in mind, to
say nothing of getting them done. Be that as it
may, the demand for waste paper and other sal
vage materials has not lessened as the war pro
presses. If anything, they have increased, while at
the same time production at home has dropped off
due to manpower shortage. It is up to th public
to maintain the supply so far as possible through
salvage.
No announced plans regarding gathering of
salvaged paper locally have been made known, but
it might be well to save this material in the home,
in business houses and elsewhere pending ar
fangement.t for local depots to receive it. There is
little likelihood that a pick-up campaign can or
will be scheduled during the, summer months.
School children figure largely in the paper drives
and most of them have jobs for the summer. In
the meantime we can get ready for the next drive
by bundling and packaging our waste paper and
storing it for convenient pick-up when the time
arrives.

APPRECIATES RESPONSE
England
19 May 1944
Just ai hurried V-mail to ask a
favor of you, and one which I
know you'll be glad to accomplish
for me.
Today I received "hot off the
press," an April 20th issue of your
Gazette Times which stated that
Morrow county contributed in the
neighborhood of $5900.00 to the
American Red Cross drive. If my
inemory sarves me correctly this is
at least one dollar for every man,
woman and child1 composing Mor
row county's normcfl peace-time
population, which at the present
time is no doubt considerably re
duced due to the war. I'm sure I
speak for every American soldier
over seas when I say "Thanks a f
Million." Donations to the Red I
Cross to maintain clubs, mobile
canteens, nursing ' service and food
for the prisoners of war are the
most worthy I know. We truly ap
preciate being remembered.
My best to everyone. I'm fine, as
usual and doing O. K.
Respectfully

More Encouraging
Reports from bond headquarters indicate that
the campaign to raise $356,000 in this county for
the Fifth War Loan is progressing satisfactorily.
The first week's sales amounted to almost one
third of the amount asked for and certainly the
top rung of the ladder is not so far distant.
One might be permitted expression of the thot
that the rains of the past few days and the con
tinued cool weather have been contributing fac
tors in the bond buying. Grain growers are not
pessimistic over their prospects, numbers of them
confidently looking forward to 30 bushels or bet
ter per acre. If yields of this quantity are realized
Morrow county will remain in the column of high
producing areas, capable of maintaining the ex
cellent record estabished in the early days of the
and carried on throughout.
