It Is Our Obligation
Many of us, perhaps, have forgotten or at
least would like to forget our obligation in meet
ing postwar governmental expenses. Keyed to a
fever pitch throughout the period of hostilities,
Tve were inclind to relax when the Japs finally
succumbed. Now we must rally our flagging spir
its and once more join in the campaign to help
Uncle Sam raise a paltry eleven billion dollars
with which to dismantle the greatest war machine
the world has ever seen and head our beloved
country back to a peacetime basis.
It is not the purpose of this column to tell you
how much of your money to invest in Victory Loan
bonds. Neither is it the function of the county war
finance committee to put the pressure on. The
object is to stir an interest in the loan and to
point out the urgent necessity for each and every
individual to do his share. If that is done it is
reasonably certain that Morrow county will go
over the top in the Victory Loan.
and will need jobs it will be the purpose of school
officials to make the law effective. If you have
not attained the age of eighteen years, or if you
have not finished high school, it would be advis
abl to enroll at once. If you don't the truant of
ficer will be looking you up.
That "Go to School" Law
There is an old saying that laws are made to
be broken. That is true enough, for no matter how
just or unjust a statute may be, someone will con
trive to break it. So it is with the new Oregon
compulsory education law. No sooner is it set up
than those effected begin figuring ways and
means of circumventing it.
However, methods of evading should not be
under consideration. Rather, the objectives
should be put forward and bring the obejctors
in line. This will involve a campaign of education
extending over a considerable period but if
successful will fully justify the effort.
Provisions are made to care for contingencies.
Families finding it necessary to remove a son or
daughter from school for the purpose of helping
where other labor is unobtainable, or where the
child is a provider, have recourse to a permit sys
tem. This provision should not be abused either by
parents or by prospective employers for to do so
will work injury upon the person of school age,
the one the law is trying to encourage to be
come a more useful citizen.
Due to demand for labor during the war little
effort was made to enforce the attendance re
quirements. Now that the boys are coming home
A Horse of Different Hue
It makes a difference who's asking whom for a
raise. It is all right to ask for more wages from
the other fellow but ridiculous to think that we or
I should have to pay more. It just can't be done
Witness the following from the Automotive
News: The same UAW-CIO which is trying to
shake down the auto industry for a thirty per cent
raise is also firing some of its organizers and cut
ting expenses. Then, too, the question of raises
for the UAW's own employes came in the other
day. The answer? "Nuts," said the union boss
es, "how do ya expect us to stay in business?"

An Addition to Oregon
Journalism
Oregon's latest journalistic enterprise,
Moore's Oregon Weekly, Volume I, No. 1, appear
ing Friday, October 12, is a valuable contribution
to the state's cultural development. Hal Moore,
owner and publisher, had in mind something dif
ferent in the way of a metropolitan weekly news
paper and his initial effort proves that he is head
ed in the right direction.
Moore's Oregon Weekly is devoted to the
cause of music, education, books, writers, art and
social problems. He has assembled a group of
writing talent on these various subjects that give
his newspaper a sense of authority, as well as
providing interesting reading material.
This newspaper joins the press of the state in
welcoming Moore's Oregon Weekly into the field
of Oregon journalism and to bespeak abundant
success for the venture.

Are you discontented with the weather? If so,
read this and weep. The thermometer stood at 72
in front of the Humphreys Drug company shortly
after one o'clock this afternoon. In Portland this
morning the temperature was 66 . . in Chicago
at about the same hour the thermometer regis
tered 37.
Aids to Builders
Found in Handbook
With the easing up of priorities
on building materials many farmers
plan to build new homes or remod
el old ones. The extension service,
anticipating such action, has pub
lished a house planning handbook
based on Maude Wilson's research
on standards for rural house plan
ning. Two of these handbooks are
available at the county agent's
office.
Included in this handbook are
illustrations of 12 house plans that
are available at the college and a
full description of each plan; vari
ations and suggestions for altera-
tions of the plans to provide vari
our interior arrangements; spacing
for working area and storage facil
ities; and suggestions for remodel
ing existing dwellings in order to
provide convenient housing.
This handbook has been' praised
by women of Morrow county and
other counties in Oregon especially
for its excellent suggestions on the
efficient use and arrangement of
storage spaces and working areas.
Interested persons are urged to
look the handbook over before
making any changes.
Word was received late last week
by relatives in Heppner that Mrs.
John Vaughn fell Thursday night
and broke both arms at the elbow.
Green Guards May
Win Nice Prizes
Some lucky Green Guards in
Morrow county can win a pot of
gold if they are ambitious, announ
ces Judge Bert Johnson, Keep Ore

county. Speak'ng of the annual
Green Guard essay and activity
contest, the chairman pointed out
that there are 38 prizes offered and
he would like to see several of
these awards won by boys and girls
in this county.
A complete list of rules and di
rections for the contest has been

PETERSON'S
Public Invited to
See New Ford Car
A rjublic showing of the first new
car in four years will be held Fri
day when the Rosewall Motor
company displays the 1946 Ford.
The model shown is a V-8 Super
DeLuxe sedan. This is one of more
than 7,000 new passenger cars the
Ford Motor company has produced
to place in the hands of dealers all
over the country for this special
showing.
According to Clarence Rosewall,
the company is now turning out
400 passenger cars and 350 trucks
daily and expects to have 75,000
cars and 50,000 trucks off the as
sembly line by Jan. 1, 1946. This
will in no wise meet the demand
for new cars but is a start towards
the output maintained prior to the
war, Rosewall stated.
"We will not take time to call
attention to the outstanding fea
tures of the new Ford," Rosewall
said. "The Super DeLuxe will be
