OVER FAIR OKAY
FELTJNOREGON
High Officials Conflict
Many Events Cancelled
Round-up in Doubt.
Portland, June 20 UP) Of
ficials of the few Oregon fain
(till on this year's calendar
were caught today between con
flicting government viewpoints,
and most farmers allowed any
exhibition of their prized pro
ducts probably will be on pan
try shelves and In the fields.
Latest upsetting news came
from Joseph B. Eastman, de
fense transportation chief, who
suggested that all fairs be
called off for the duration.
His statement came after Sec
retary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard urged fairs be contin
ued as a morale booster.
Another consideration was the
army's earlier order banning
large crowds.
In the midst of these conflict
ing views, many Oregon fairs
and traditional summer events
have been cancelled. Others,
still hopeful, are uncertain
whether to go ahead with plans
or not.
Oregons' No. 1 event the
state fair already had been
streamlined to a state 4-H club
show and a regional Willamette
valley fair. Now, even that is
doubtful.
Also in the balance Is the fate
of Pendleton's famed round-up
which has asked the army for a
go-ahead but as yet has received
no reply.
Cancelled are the Astoria re
gatta and Salmon derby by navy
request, the Molalla buckeroo
and Klamath Fall's buckeroo
days.
However, both the Baker
radio and the St. Paul rodeo
have announced army approval.
Klamath Falls scheduled an
amateur horse show as a re
duced substitute for the regular
event but reports today were to
the effect that the horse show's
size may approach that of the
cancelled "buckeroo days.

NEARLY 100 TONS

81,423 pounds being turned in to
service stations that day to

lection figures for Saturday were
not available last night, but it
was believed certain the stock
pile would rocket to consider
ably more than 100 tons.

canvass yesterday collect
ing small, worn-out rubber ar
ticles, and reported that citizens
were responding in excellent
fashion. The drive, which is nation-wide,

f fTSTL, ''vi to know how business is . . . and what 1
Like all retailers, I get lots of calls
from manufacturers' salesmen who want
to know how business is . . . and what
they can do to make it better. When they
ask me what kind of support I need
in times like these, I go to town ..."
1.
"First of all, I tell them that they can help me most during
these war days by advertising . . . and advertising consistently
and regularly, not in (its and starts. And the advertising ought
to reach all my customers and prospects. This, of course,
means newspaper advertising."
1 tell them, too, that I Lie to tie in my ads with the manu
facturer's. This helps us both a lot . . . not only for special
sales, but for normal, day-by-day selling. Of course there' only
one place where we can work together this way . . . and that'r
the local paper. n
y "Next, I remind them that what I need is advertising that goes
to work right here in this town, and in my own neigliborhood
. . advertising that is keyed to local conditions, and tells people
that they can buy die product at my store. You can't beat the
home-town newspaper for that kind of advertising."
4,
"Finody, after giving my other reasons for wanting more
newspaper advertising support from manufacturers, I clinch
it all by pointing out that I use newspapers successfully for
mj own advertising , . . and what works so well for me is
bound to work just as well for them."
Smart man, this retailer. He knewt thai ho and the manufacturer are in business together to
tell goods to people. An J he knows that today especially, with the nation at war, manufacturers
can produce more tales for their retailers . , . and themselves ...by advertising in local newspapers.
