Pogt2 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, October 27, 1949 EDITORIAL NATIONAL EOITOIIAL It's A N uisance, But What To Do Mayor Conlry Lanham and Die members of the city council are laced with an embarrassing ftuation which, far from bcinp solved, appears to be growing worbe by the day. It is with rela tion to the disposal of garbage, a matter with which the present administration and previous councils have struggled for a number of years. In the present situation it is not so much a matter of having a place for disKsal of the town's refuse; it is a matter of getting the best use out of the property owned by the ci;y for that purpose. The location of the tract is such that it is not acceptable to residents of the neighborhood and in recent years this has led to more or less friction. In all justice, no censure is due the neighbors for their dislike of the dump yard. On the other hand, the city has a right to use the property and, according to tjie opinion of attorneys present at Monday night's session of the council, the right extends to the roadway leading to the property. Closing of this roadway in recent weeks has led to friction between the city and one of the neighbors. At the same time it has handicapped garbage dis posal, causing dissatisfaction with the service and placing the garbage collector in an unfair light. It is an unpleasant situation and one which the city council would like to remedy. A canvass has been made in search of a new location but as yet nothing has been found that can be obtained for a price within the city's reach, or that could be developed satisfactorily. This means that the present site will have to be used until a suitable tract can be found. It is not possible to dispose of garbage here and there. A suitable pi ice has to be fixed and that will require some time even after a site is acquired. At the time the dump ground was put into operation no one could foresee the eventual growth of the town and the large volume of waste the tract is required to handle. It might have been possible at that time to have acquired an acre or two more which would have forestalled the present situation. As it is. the city has the ground, it has been used since the early '20's and from present indications it may have to be used several years longer before a change can be made. Nagging and placing obstructions will not solve the problem. That only leads to greater misun derstanding. Just Who's Doing Too Well? A current issue of one of the numerous maga azines coming to the editorial desk contained this paragraph: 'The labor press is publishing names of corporation officers who receive more than $75, 000 a year. The corporation executives are sens itive about it but not sensitive enough to have their salaries cut below $75,000 where they will not be exposed to the public glare." On another page is an article entitled "The Unions Own a Chunk of Washington," which re veals tne growth of the unions in recent years and their descent upon the national capital where ither they are as deeply intrenched near official circles Pnding a few days there .visiting Lexington Jockrabbits Trim Mitchell But Lose to Pilot Rock The Lexington Jackrabbits were defeated on the local field by the Pilot Rock team Friday, 24-0. In the week preceding it was a mis. take in the local paper, stating that Mitchell won from the Jack rabbits, as Lexington came home victorious. Mrs. Bert Breeding was hostess at her home Monday evening for a surprise honoring her son Floyd, on his birthday. Those attending were Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Breeding, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Darnielle and family, Mr. and Mrs. George Irvin and Pinky Wetmure.

Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bloodsworth and daughter, Mrs. Roger Campbell; were visitors n The Dalles Tuesday of this week. George Tucker of Seattle, bro- of Mrs. Arthur Hunt, is The American Way THE POISON By Dr. Alfred P. Haake as any other group, and probably wield more in fluence with the present administration. We quote: 'There was a time when labor unions rented cobwebby quarters in out-of-the-way build ings with dark halls and stairways. . . Now the rich days have come, and the unions have moved to finer quarters. Now they don't pay rent. Now they own their own swank buildings. They act as landlords, collecting rent from famous tenants who have nothing to do with the labor movement In the city -Jl V, shington the unions own a num ber of off cc buildings, assessed for local tax pur poses at more thar. million dollars. The actual market r.lue is robably 8 million ... In addition, unions hold other commercial property, concealed in the names of trustees, worth perhaps 2 million dollars. Thus the total market value of their real estate in Washington is estimated at 10 million dollars or more." No one will deny the right of the unions to own their own buildings and strengthen their position, but they should also scan the payrolls of some of their executives when turning the spotlight of Mark Rands and children spent the week-end in Portland. Both Rands are teacn ers in the Lexington school. Miss Dona Barnett, who has been on the sick list, is much im proved at present.

Mrs. Earl Warner has returned to her home in Lexington after a few weeks visit with her daughter and family, Mrs. Clarence Hayes in Corvalfis and her son Vernon and family in Portland.

USDA, Growers, Food Trade Combine To Urge Use of Country's Most Bountiful Apple Crop The United States Department of Agriculture is conducting an abundant food program on ap ples, in cooperation with apple producers and trade groups, which will reach a peak during the period between October 27 and November 5. The apple crop this year is the largest the country has seen since well before the war, and the con certed effort is to move apples through normal trade channels so that governmental price sup port buyng can be held to a mini mum. Major stress on apples Is sche duled for the October 27-Novem-ber 5 period, which includes the trade-sponsored National Apple week but the unusually large crop 132,126,000 bushels, accord lw Newtown), York Imperial, Baldwin, Northern Spy, Black Twie.

More than 20 centuries back, historians show, our an cestors were familiar with meth ods of budding and grafting fruit. It is said that Cato, in the third century B. C, knew seven differ ent apple varieties, and that Pli ny, in the first century A. D. knew 36 different kinds. The U. S. Department of Agri culture says that by the time first settlers were coming to our shores hundreds of apple varieties were (EDITOR'S NOTE: Alfred P. Haa ke, Th. D Mayor of Fark Ridge, 111., is a noted Economist, Busi. ness Consultant, Lecturer and Author.) Some of the ancients had an interesting way of killing off peo ple so as to avoid suspicion of what they were doing. Instead of one lethal dose of poison, or a dagger through the heart, or a fa tal clout over the head, they in troduced poison, drop by drop, with no immediate visible effects. but resulting finally in the death of the victim. The poison was dropped in doses so small as not to be apparent in the delectable contents of the cup from which the victim drank That is what is happening to America, once the home of the brave and the land of the free, champion of righteous causes the world over, savior of civilization and absorber of bankruptcies elsewhere in the world now slowly destroying herself with the double-forked attack on so cialistic bankruptcy abroad while undermining the foundations of freedom and private enterprise at home. No one in his right senses would accuse Harry Truman and his cohorts, the socialist-labor dictatorship of this country, of deliberately trying to destroy America. But Harry Truman's wishful in tentions and what he is actually doing, are two very different things. The poison that is being administered into the cup' of po litical promises from which Ame nca drinks is no less lethal be cause Harry does not know what he is doing. It is still poison, and it is still destroying America. The death poisons administered with kindly ignorance are just as fata as though they were administered with deliberate malice. The product and self -consecrat ed disciple of one of the most practical and corrupt and vicious political machines ever known in our country, a blindly faithful follower of the political boss who facetiously made him a United States Senator, Harry Truman has never risen to the heights which enable a man to see past his im mediate political interests, the minorities through which he can control the majorities, and the temporary benefits of legislative and political manipulation which so often cost far more than their immediate benefits. Harry Truman is only a symbol or example of the kind of leader ing to the October 11 crop report known in European countries. When Your Linoleum and Hardwood Floors are Finished with... will require emphasis on use for some time after that period, the USDA believes. Nineteen different apples var ieties are important enough in volume to warrant their own list ins in the USDA's crop reporting board Droduction tables. Some of these are important primarily in certain sections of the country the west, for example, mostly pro duces the Delicious (both the red and the golden), the Winesap, the Yellow Newtown, the Jonathan, the Gravenstein, and the baking queen called Rome Beauty. In other parts of the nation there are major production vol umes of such varieties as the Mcintosh, Styman, Albemarle Pip pin (the same as the western Yel- EASY TO APPLY . ; ; DRIES QUICKLY LAST FOR YEARS SAFE...

Meantime, the poison continues to drip into the cup the poison of something for nothing, let the government do it more and more welfare for weaker and weaker people! Under the guise of what Is call ed the "Welfare State," the pleas ant concoction that is poured Into the cup for America, carries with it the inescapable poison of grow ing governmental power and re sponsibility, the substitution of federal paternalism for individ ual self-reliance and growth. More and more, the indvidual is relieved of the responsibility and burden of his own support, which alone can keep him strong and fit to be free, and persuaded to ac cept instead theservices of gov ernment which finally waste away his powers and abilities through disuse. The final tragedy is that we pay for our own destruction. Ev-! ery dollar that the federal gov ernment gives us in one form or another, subsidies and what have you, must finally cost the tax payers two dollars or more out of future earnings. It is a bad buy to have government do wasteful. ly what we can do much more economically for ourselves. England is already learning that social medicine is costing the average family more for less efficient service. In industry after industry, production goes down as the government takes over and, if it were not for the charity of the United States, the English Socialist-Labor government would have fallen by now. We are ac tually helping to keep alive a socialist welfare government at the ultimate cost of destroying England as a nation. And, when America, having dissipated her resources and sap ped the vitality of her people, needs the kind of help we are now giving England, what coun try in all the world will do for us what we are doing for the Eng lish socialists? We are the last of the countries able to give such help, and when our turn comes to ASK HELP there will be none left to give it. Except perhaps Uncle Joe, with his sardonic grin, who can then take us into the family of slave nations worshipping the pagan bones of Karl Marx.
