Just Recognition For a Good Job
Oregon publishers were paid a nice compli
ment Saturday when Herbert Buermann, repre
senting the United States Treasury, delivered a
message from the Secretary of Treasury to them
for the part they played in promoting bond sales
throughout the war and since. In his presentation,
Mr. Buermann stated that Oregon's record thru
out the bond selling campaign has been outstand
ing inasmuch as this state tops the nation in E
bond sales, a record that was made possible thru
the universal cooperation of the press. He did not
say that the press alone was responsible. Far from
it. But he was directed to convey to the newspa
pers the heartfelt thanks of . the department for
the great part they played in the ulimate success
of the Allied cause.
Of particular interest to the publishers was
the compliment paid to Giles French, publisher of
the Sherman County Journal, whose county stands
at the top of the counties throughout the nation in
the matter of E bond purchases. Mr. French has
been chairman of the Sherman county war finance
committee since its organization and his work has
been outstanding. Giles sold the people of his
county on the bond buying idea and early in the
campaign Sherman county set the mark for oth
er counties to shoot at. Some of the neighboring
counties came close a few times but never quite
attained the per capita average to put them in the
lead.
This newspaper is happy to extend to Mr.
' French a word of praise for his achievement and
to wish him many more years of useful service to
his community and nation. '
Teachers Are People
Some caustic criticism has come from' differ
ent sources regarding the action of the Oregon
State Teachers' association in protesting against
extending the draft. There may have been justifi
cation for this in some circles, yet the teachers
were acting in their own right and if they have
made a mistake it hardly seems proper to unleash
the unfavorable comment that appeared in one
or two instances.
Teachers are people like the rest of us. Some
are good, some bad and some are just plain in
different. The good ones are those who have the
stamina and courage to carry on after months and
years of wrestling with discipline that should be
inculcated in the minds of the young at home; of
patient endeavor to prepare the future leaders
or their place in the home, community and nation.
The teacher must hold to ideals if the pupil is to
be greatly benefited by school, for to lose those
ideals means the sacrifice of many years of hard
work.
Lack of appreciation of the teacher's value to
the community has been the blocking stone in the
way of making the profession attractive to capable
young people. There has been too wide a spread
between the salary scales paid teachers and those
of other employment. A person working for a pri
vate enterprise stands a much better chance for
increased pay than the one whose wages come
from tax sources. Taxes may eventually be in
creased to provide a more nearly equal basis but
during the time-eating process of accomplishing
such a raise many capable teachers fall out of the
ranks to, join up with some other line.
Teachers make mistakes, yes, but are they
any different in that respect to the rest of us?
Perhaps they stepped a little out of line in pass
ing a resolution against extending the draft or
what ever it' was. No unit of our national life
suffered more at the hands of the war than did
the schools and it could be that the teachers had
in mind protection against a recurrence of that
suffering. There may have been a certain amount
of pacifism involved in the action, and once
again it can be said they were acting within their
rights as citizens. At that, it is hard to believe
that under similar circumstances we should find
the teachers shirking their duty.
In seeking to better their own condition they
are working not so much as individuals but for
the school system as a whole. We pay dear prices
for the things we want and feel we must have or
be outdone by the Joneses, and holler our heads
off when the teachers seek a little more pay in
order to dress well, travel a bit to broaden their
education in short, to live on a plane their po
sition in the community entitles them to. For af
ter all, teachers-are people.
Heppner people and visitors will miss the
pleasant smile and cheery hello of Eddie Chinn at
the Elkhorn restaurant. His friends are legion and
it is safe to say he has no enemies. That"s a nice
way to bow out of the active life of the commu
nity and he has the best wishes of every one in
his move to rest up and recover his health. Best of
luck, Eddie!

Not having been in this vale of tears "long
enough to have followed one line for 50 or more
years, one wonders what Jim Thomson's reaction
will be now that he has cut loose from the store.
Jim has held down that job long enough to classi
fy him as a landmark and the store won't be quite
the same with him out of the picture. It is to
be hoped that he has not tarried too long at the
old stand and that he will be able to enjoy some
of the fruits of his labors with no thought of
grocery orders, invoices or freight bills.
