National Newspaper Week
Just what is a newspaper?
This question has a great many answers, but
here aie a few we 1hink are the most important.
IT'S A PUBLIC SERVICE it serves its com
munity with news, advertising, comment and en
tertainment. It promotes civic and humanitarian
projects.
IT'S A MANUFACTURING PLANT it converts
raw materials, ink. paper, metal and power into a
finished product. It gives employment to heads
of families.
IT'S A BUSINESS it enjoys full status as a
wholesaler (of papers) and a retailer. It plays its
part in 1he civic activities of the community.
IT'S A SERVICE ESTABLISHMENT it" gives
information, advice and guidance through its
columns and through its departments. It Rives
help through its reading notices, classified col
umns and thank you items.
IT'S 100 PERCENT HOME INSTITUTION it is
for Morrow county and Oregon first, last and
always. Its payroll remains almost entirely at
home. Its taxes help support schools and govern
ment. It is a large consumer of power, fuel and
other elements supplied as far as possible, locally.
IT'S THE BULWARK OF DEMOCRACY it is
the exemplification of the American way of life.
Truly your newspaper is the voice of freedom and
the guardian of Democracy.
Journalistic Roadblock
We understand the Heppner author of "Along
Life's Highway" which appears frequently in out
neighboring daily newspaper found herself in a
situation over the weekend which completely sty
mied her journalistic efforts for a while.
It seems she closed the door of her bedroom a
little too hard the other day and found herself un
able to get out. The lock had broken.
Now such a plight for a woman who's husband
is quite handy with tools, shouldn't seem too bad
except that he didn't happen to be home, and
had it not been for a local dealer in boards, who
removed the door from its hinges, the reporting of
Heppner news might have suffered a much longer
blackout.
What a thing to happen to a journalist and
during National Newspaper Week, too.
TOP ADMINISTRATOR QUITS
The man with 1 lit toughest
state job in Oregon has had
enough.
James M. Clinton, Civil Service
Director for the past five years,
said so in a letter sent to the
chairman of the commission this
week.
The letter stated he would ter
minate his service April 1, 1951
and wished to give the commis
sion ample opportunity to re
cruit and orientate his replace
ment. He said the job was too loaded
with conflicting responsibility
and grief, that the salary is not
commensurate with the work.
"I believe," he said, "that I can
achieve greater job satisfaction
in other employment."
"The civil service system, fun
damentally, is a merit system, an
anti-politic device. Yet here in
Oregon the system is based on
legislation, which means that
every two years the policy and
procedure of the commission is
reviewed by a political body and
political sanction must be ob
tained for continuance of the
system," be declared.
"The civil service system", he
advised, "should be placed in the
sta'le constitution. Oregon never
will have a true merit system
until such a system is placed in
the constitution and an adequate
budget is assured by the con
stitution." A sound civil service law was
introduced in the Oregon legis
lature in 1915 but it was ham
strung before being passed that
session.
Consequently our civil service
directors have been futile refer
ees in the ring with a battle royel
in full tilt between state de
partment heads, "big brass" le
gislators, pressure groups, special
favor seekers and state employ
ees. STATE BONDS RETIRED
State Treasurer Sigfrid Inlan
der this week paid $3.(97,.'i.'i.'i in
principal and interest on state
bonds.
Listed retirements included
$88,500 in state highway bonds
and a first installment of $2,000,
000 in veterans' bonus bonds.
Interest payments were $121,
110 on highway bonds, $108,125
on bonus bonds,
erans' welfare
$258,412 on
oan bonds
vet -and
$22,125 on reforestation bonds.
Unander quoted the outstand
ing debt of the state, after these
payments as $Ki3,(;92,000 of
which 371,025 is outstanding in
state highway bonds, 35tl.5O0.000
in veterans' bonus bonds, $33,
000,000 in veterans' loan bonds,
$2,100,000 in reforest a I ion bonds
and $l!,7(!7.000 in higher educa
tion bonds.
PARCEL POST HIGHER
The Pacific Coast slates may
benefit as a result of the hike in
rates which went into effect Oc
tober 1.
The announcement of the rate
boost started plans to establish
branch manufacturing plants of
several nationally-known con
cerns. For some time it has been
known that representatives of a
number of broadline sales and
distributing agencies intend to
locate branch distributing points
on the coast.

From Files of the Gazette Times
October 11, 1923
Paul Aiken was elected captain
of the Heppner high school foot
hall team and Austin Smith busi
ness manager.
This section was visited by a
rather heavy thunder storm last
night, and a big shower of rain
followed. The storm lasted for
an hour or more, and from in
formation received here this fore
noon it reached the proportions of
a waterspout in several sections.

COLOR CONSCIOUS
Cities of Oregon will probably
follow the pattern of the Oregon
State Highway commission now
planning to change stop signs to
red and white color on state high
ways. The new color combination
would be a red background with
white lettering for the octagonal
shaped stop signs. They are now
yellow with black lettering.
The change has already been
made in California and has been
The first and
step in better
more thorough understanding of
present marketing agencies,
states a bulletin just released by I
the Oregon State college agricul-1
tural experiment station.
The publication, "The Portland
Union Stock Yards, A Case Study
in Livestock Marketing," is of-1
fered as a contribution to this
need for a better understanding
of what the marketing agencies
do and why, of how well they
perform these functions and of
how well producers utilize these
agencies.
E. L. Totter, retired OSC agri
cultural economist, is the author.
He writes that the Portland mar
ket is the logical and necessary
outlet for about one-third of Ore
gon's livestock and it is the major
price-making and price-naming
factor in the Pacific Northwest.
The various operations of the
Portland stockyards are ex
plained and discussed in the
publication and suggestions are
made to the stockyards and to
the producer as well.
Copies of station bulletin 53G

sion offices and the bulletin
