Strikes Hit Us, Too
Strikes, like lightning, hit in unexpected
places and the Gazette Times is no exception.
Occupied with our own shop worries it had not
occurred to us that the shutdowns on the Atlan
tic seaboard and elsewhere in big industrial cen
ters would unduly affect our operations. Through
out the war we were able to get supplies and parts
for the various machines, particularly the linotype,
and we looked forward to the coming of peace as a
time when we could get the equipment back in
working order. The opposite has been the rule and
the newspaper and printing is now being done un
der a considerable handicap.
A glance through the news columns will show
many letters out of line. That is because it is ne
cessary to fill out the font with letters from anoth
er font which do not line. An order was placed late
in the fall for a supply of matrices to replace worn
and injured mats and about the time the shipment
was due a letter came from the manufacturer
that due to strike conditions affecting the. Merg
enthaler Linotype company they would be unable
to fill current orders. It is embarrassing to put the
paper out in this condition but it seems all that
can be done until factories resume regular pro
duction.
ways and one of them is the fact
that most cars now in use are
four years old or older. The strain
of high speed is more telling on
the old bus now and more consid
eration should be given to its age
and period of service. Then there
is the pedestrian hazard. That is
quite a factor in highway acci
dents. Speed too great on curves
passing in the face of approach
ing traffic and one of the worst
practices, driving after drinking.
These all contributed to the worst
February traffic record in Oregon
history, with 35 persons killed.
Newspapers appreciate the interest of readers
in sending in news items. It has been pointed out
that the surest way of getting your story in the pa
per is o bring it in, or telephone or mail it. Many
of our readers do this and their contributions add
materially to the nws content of the paper. If you
know a good story or a newsy item, form the habit
of giving it to your local newspaper.
Why All the Hurry?
When one drives out on the highways nowa
days the reminder comes of those 35-mile- an-hour
signs posted by the roadside during the war and
wonders why they were not continued with a mod
ification of the speed limits posted thereon. Of
course, it is not hinted here that the 35 miles speed
limit succeeded in holding the cars down to that
speed, but the signs were a reminder that we at
Home had a duty to perform in the way of con
serving gasoline and rubber.
Now that we are privileged to enjoy a post
war normalcy everybody seems to be in a whale
of a hurry to get somewhere and consequently
traffic fatalities are on the increase. There are
things to be considered when driving on the high
