Single Coey 10 cents. For A Better Understanding Gazette Times German Edition This week's Gazette Times will look quite strange to most of our readers. Also, it will pro bably sound a little strange, at least a little dif ferent, from the kind of newspaper we usually publish. It does so for a reason. The Gazette Times is privileged to have on its staff for this week, Juergen Dobberke, a Berlin, Germany newspaperman who is in this country as an exchange student to learn something of Amer ica and the American way of life. He is here to learn, and it should be that we should learn from him something of the German way of life. During his short stay in Morrow county he has spoken of his country on three occasions pos sibly a hundred or so people could hear him and it is the feeling of this paper that all of our readers should have the opportunity to get some, even though small, understanding of how he would handle news stories and "makeup" a paper in his country. That is why this issue of the Ga zette Times looks and sounds strange. He has written a few of the stories and he has guided us in the style we have used in making up the front page and the stories we have chosen to put on that page. It has been done approximately as it would be done on his paper in Berlin, Der Tag. The purpose of the State Department's excharjge program is to promote and develop a better under standing between nations and it is only logical that newspapermen who play a part in telling the people of each country what is going on in their own country, and in the rest of the world, should be included in such a program. Juergen Dobberke is in Heppner for five days to learn how we live in a small town and how a smalltown paper is pub lished. We feel that we, too, should try to learn a little about his way of life and of the things he considers of prime Importance. One way to do that is to let him guide us in what we say, and how we say it, in this week's Gazette Times. The stories that are played up this week as far as pos sible, are similar to the type of stories that would be played up in Germany with one exception. That exception is, in most cases "Foreign Office", of world news takes the top spot on page one of Berlin palters. An American weekly paper norm- From files of the Gazette Times March 20, 1924 A barn on the Krebs Bros, ranch at Cecil was destroyed by fire on Tuesday evening, the fire origi nated from the branch line local. Paul Webb, who is here from Walla Walla, states that he will again take charge of the big Webb stock ranch in this county, and later on rehabilitate the same. ally does not cover such news so we took what would probably be second choice in Germany, '"feature" or "human interest" stories for our top stories. Logically those stories should be written for us by Dobberke, as they have been. The style of this week's page one headlines and the way th epaper is made up is in keeping with German style too, yet to us the most important thing we have learned from him, and we hope our readers may realize from his stories, is the great amount of knowledge of America that he has ab sorbed in only six months . . . knowledge that he will take back to his country that he and his peo ple may have a better understanding of the Amer ican oeonle. Dobberke has lived with the publishers of the Gazette Times during this week and it has given us an unmatched opportunity to learn from him much about Germany, its people and its prob lems that we did not know. Not every one here can live with him for a time, as we have, and to try to give to the rest of our neighbors a bit of that opportunity we have tried to let our paper do it for us this week. To those who are not fami liar with the German language, the meaning in some of the phrases in his stories may be a little vague, yet if they are read carefully, most read ers will find what we feel is a very deep under standing of America an understanding that we who live here are too close to see or to realize. If the government's exchange program is to be effective, we in America must get from Dobberke, and the others who come here under the program's sponsorship, a better understanding of what he and his people must face in their day-by-day life, what is the uppermost in their minds, how living is in a city that is divided by the Iron Curtain. If Dobberke's few stories can give us just a little better insight into Germany, a country that has for many years been a problem not only to the world, but also to itself, there is hope that eventu ally solutions can be found to the problems which confront the governments and the peoples of all the world. Without a mutual understanding among' all peoples, there can be no solutions. Juergen Dob berke's visit here, and our efforts through this paper today are but a small step toward a better understanding among peoples of the wonu . . and we think it is a step in the right direction When we all "know", maybe then can there be peace.

I should, accordingly, like to call it to the attention of the readers of your newspaper. 'iTie Forest Highways Appro priations Act, which is of major importance to us in the Pacific Northwest, contained ten million dollars this year rather than the fifteen million dollars which we felt necessary to maintain these roads. Making increases by am endment during legislative con sideration and debate is very unusual. Often tried, it rarely succeeds. However, your freshman Con gressman, Sam Coon, offered the necessary amendment, presented his case and despite spirited op position, it was carried. The feel ing of the House toward Sam is probably expressed by John J. Ilooney. a Brooklyn Democrat, who led the opposition and who certainly is not known for his in terest in our forest highways. As the Congressional Record shows, Kooney slated that any Republi can who wants to opwse Sam's bill would be faced with a real problem. "It all emantes," he said, "from the geniality of the eentlcman from Oregon. There are very few members of the ma jority side who would care to vote against the amendment of the genial and distinguished gentle man from Oregon." Kooney expresses in words bet ter than I can just how highly Sam is thought of by his collea gues an all important factor in accomplishment here. While it is true that the others of us from the Pacific Northwest worked with him to sustain his nmondment. the fact remains that he was a leader of the suc cessful fight and it is to him that we doff our Congressional hats.
