Adverrising-A port of Our Life
The week just concluded was another in the
continuing series of "special weeks" observed or
promoted throughout the country by a host of
varied interests. The past week was, among other
things, Advertising Recognition Week.
Understandably, we might possibly be just a
trifle prejudiced in this matter, even to the point
of taking space in this column to give it a little ex
planation, for advertising is the lifeblood of this
and every other newspaper. But we wonder how
many people realize just what advertising means
to them in everyday life.
There are many who will stay automatically
that they could do without the commercials on the
radio or the beautiful, four-colored ads in maga
zines. There are just as many, too, who have said
they "never read the ads" in a newspaper.
These persons honestly and sincerely think
Ihey could do without advertising and probably
Ihey could, but we doubt that they would want
to if they stopped to think that it is one of the
best and cheapest servants they have in their
home. For example if there were no advertising
of any sort how would such a person if moving
to a new town or city know where to find a house
to rent, where to buy some light globes, who to get
to hook up her electric range, where to buy some
new work clothes for her husband or any of the
hundreds of other things she will want to know,
without starting up the street and asking in every
store. To carry it a little farther, how would she
know what kind of work clothes to buy for her
husband, had there never been any advertising
to tell her.
Maybe that's carrying the thing to an extreme
but the principle still is true in our everyday life.
The advertising you see each week in the Gazette
Times, or each day in the East Oregonian or Port
land papers, or hear over the radio, is helping you
make your life easier by telling you what you may
buy, where you can get it, and why you should buy
Whether you realize it or not, you do read the
adveiiisem'-nts that appear in this newspaper
how else did you know where and when to go to
a certain store for something you needed that was
being offered at a special price. How else did you
know that such-and-such a shop had just received
some new spring dresses that were just what you
had been looking for, or how did you know that
some other particular store carried a certain brand
of appliance you wanted in fact, how did it hap
pen that you preferred that particular brand? It
all came about because of advertising.
A vital part of every merchant's business is
advertising and he advertises to tell you what he
has that you want or need ... so that you can find
out while sitting at home reading your newspaper
instead of having to personally examine every
store's stock to find it.
Heppner and Morrow county merchants are
doing you a favor when they advertise. You'll be
doing them , and yourself, one if you will read
and carefully note what they have to offer. If
you will stop to compare, they offer the same
products and the same services that you will find
elsewhere, and in a great majority of cases at the
same prices.
Advertising is your servant. It is, whether
you may realize it or not, helping to bring you an
easier and better life.
MAY BALLOT GROWS
Gen. Douglas MacArthur was
the first to have his name for
mally entered in Oregon as a can
didate for the republican nomina
tion for president. Mr. and Mrs.
F. E. Epton, Portland, filed the
necessary iotitions Feb. 19.
The name of Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower was officially placed
on the republican presidential
primary ballot last Thursday by
State Representative Mark Hat
field secretary and William L.
Phillips president of the Oregon
Eisenhower -fur-President Com
mittee. Hatfield made the state
ment that the general's record
will be made clear to the people
of the state.
Members of the 1951 legislature

(Dem.)Madras, for the house and
senator President Paul L. Patter
son (Rep.) Hill.sboro, for the sen
ate. OREGON MOTHER NAMED
Mrs. A. C. Mclntyre, Pendleton,
was selected this week as Oregon
Mother of 1952. The announce
ment was made by Gov. Douglas
McKay following a meeting of the
Oregon Mother Committee of the
Golden Rule Foundation.
Her selection was based on ex
emplifying 1he finest attributes
as a mother, hoinemakor and citi
zen as well as her varied inter
ests on the local and state level.
DOES CRIME PAY?
The old aphorism that crime
doesn't pay was debunked by
Captain Walter Lansing, head of
the traffic safety division of the
Oregon State Police in addressing
a service club in Salem this week.
"It certainly doesn't pay in
that the criminal is almost al
ways apprehended, but when you
realize that about seven billion
dollars Is annually extracted from
legitimate channels by criminals,
I don't see how you can say it
isn't a paying proposition.
"One of the biggest businesses
of this country today is the crime
business. The only dcterement is
the certainty of punishment.
"There is no enforcing of laws
that are promulgated by 56 per
cent of the registered voters,"
Lansing said.
SALES TAX UP AGAIN
A minimum $75 a month old
age pension is provided in a pre
liminary petition for an initiative
measure filed with the secretary
of state this week.
It is a self financing measure
with a two per cent sales tax.
If the sponsors, E. E. Rowton,
Otis and Verna Schom, Toledo ob
tain 2G,2S(j signatures to complete
their petitions before July 4 the
provision will appear on the No
veniebr election ballot.
CUSTODY OF CHILDREN
In a decision handed down this
week the Oregon supreme court
for the first time recognized an
order of a probate judge of an
other state.
The high court reversed an or
der by Circuit Court Judge Arlie
G. Walker of Polk county who
had awarded custody of two boys,
9 and 11, to their father residing
in Oregon.
The mother obtained a divorce
and an order for the children from
a probate judge in Indiana. The
supreme court order was written
by Justice Walter L. Tooze. The
boys did not recognize their mo
ther when she came for them.
CAPITOL RAIDER
Oregon's Capitol was "sacked"
this week by Coos Bay Pirates.
In brilliant buccaneer costumes
they cannonaded the state house,
put state officials in irons and
ran the Jolly Roger colors up the
Capitol flagpole.
They had their own candidate
for president and are leading a
crusade to rub out petty grafters
in ofrice and establish good old
times pirateers.
Their breviloquent platform
wowed state employees:
(1) Relieve mental shortage by
removing all name plates from
official's desks and the lead out
of politician's pants.
(2) Require office holders to
pass eighth-grade examinations
and ring in and out at timeclocks.
(3) Increase morality among
politicians or increase mortality.

ADD TOPPING AND YOUR SAVORY
STEW BECOMES A MEAT PIE
Good, hot and hearty describes
the meat pie. And just how does
a meat pie vary from the old fa
vorite stew? A meat pie is sim
ply a stew with a topping.
For the finest in meat pies or
stews follow the same rule as for
standing ribs of beef or any
other roast, cook at a low tem
perature. This is, slowly simmer
the stew rather than allow it to
rapidly boil, says Reba Staggs,
meat expert.
In preparing a meat pie, brown
the meat or not as desired.. Then
completely cover with water. For
news in your meat pies consider
various seasonings. Try bay leaf,
celery seed, thyme, peppercorns,
chili powder or curry powder for
decided flavor changes. With
your choice of seasonings added,
cover the utensil closely and
cook slowly until tender.
Why make up your stew with
the same vegetables time after
time. Here's a list to consider
carrots, peas, potatoes, parsnips,
onions, celery, cauliflower, ruta
baga, lima beans, green beans,
green peppers, Brussels sprouts.
Add vegetables just long enough
before the end of cooking so
they will be cooked. For that
flavorsome gravy that's associ
ated with a stew, drain the liquid
