DON PETERSON, Publisher
To the Editor:
In recent months I have worked
for a number of weekly newspapers
in Oregon and have observed many
others. 1 wish to state that, in com­
parison with them, the Enterprise to­
day ranks right up there with the
best weekly newspapers in the state.
It is consistently newsy, and is ty­
pographically far superior to the av­
erage country weekly.
As former publisher, I’m glad to
acknowledge the many improvements
made in the Enterprise since you be­
gan running it.
Very truly yours,
Charles Wolverton

‘THE PAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES HAS NO FRIENDS.
-—George Putnam
"Lest We Forget”
We are approaching an important national election at a time when
world affairs seem of paramount importance. I he rapid and dramatic course
of events in Korea commands our daily interest and attention. Beyond Korea,
our deepest aspirations and hopes are for the attainment of security and
peace in the world.
But we cannot ignore the real domestic issues that are at stake in
the November election. In fact, we cannot separate the domestic from
the international issues even if we attempt to do so. Our hopes for
security and peace are inextricably bound up with our efforts to preserve
a strong and stable economy in our own country.
For the past seventeen years we have had national administrations
which have believed that the power and authority of the people, operating
through their government, can and should be used to “promote the common
welfare”.
Under Presidents Roosevelt and Truman the powers of government
have been used in the interest of farmers, workers, businessmen and con­
sumers. Our natural resources have been developed and conserved through
programs of reclamation, reforestation, soil conservation, and the public
development of hydro-electric power.
Our human resources have been protected by increased governmental
activity in the fields of education, health and housing by the adoption of the
Social Security system.
Farmers have been assured of reasonable prices, and workers have won
the right of collective bargaining.
All of these measures have helped us to achieve the greatest and
most widely distributed prosperity and the most stable democratically ruled
economy that the world has ever known.
Some have watched this progress with misgivings and alarm. We have
been warned of the danger of bankruptcy and against trends of socialism,
communism, statism and bureaucratic domination. Yet our schools, our
churches, our individual freedoms, have never been more secure than they
are now.
One of the things that is at stake in this election is whether we shall
continue to go forward along this well-charted road of progress or whether
we shall become afraid and turn back.
We had a sample of retrogression during the 80th Congress, and the
verdict of the voters in 1918 was emphatic in favor of going forward again
along the course that the people of America have overwhelmingly chosen and
approved. We cannot afford another experiment with reaction.

'Israel Revisited' Meaningful
Answer to What Nation Is Like

J. W. GOIN
The lumber industry has recently
perfected a new soil improver, ten­
tatively called FERSOLIN, which is
essentially sawdust, treated by simple
chemical means. Preliminary tests of
the soil improver on vegetable plants
indicate higher rates of seed germi­

NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN TO COME TO THE \ ID

When this writer learned to type he literally wrote that sentence hun­
dreds of (lines.
IS NOW THE TIME? Hundreds of our young men have gone to the
aid uf their country, some have fought and died in far off lands. Hundreds
more will be drafted into the armed forces so they too can learn to kill.
Today we face a unique periml in our history, never before except in time
of actual conflict have we mobilized our resources for war. Why the change?
Never before have we as a Nation feared anyone or anything. We
fear the unknown. We hear rumors that another Nation has thousands of
airplanes, tanks, guns and untold millions of soldiers. No longer are we
sure that we can allow another to strike the first blow and then go on to
win. Even now we hear men in high public esteem saying: "Strike now,
we are better prepared than they". Yes, today, we are afraid. But as the
late Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, "We have nothing to fear but fear itself’’.
BROADWAY AND MAIN STREET
Yes, now is the time for al) good men to come to the aid of their
country—to make this, our country, the strongest Nation in the world.
Let men hope, talk, work, and pray for peace.
Our national security is the guarantee of our safety, our freedom, and
our democratic form of government. Our domestic life, our economic life,
our religious life, and indeed every activity, interest, or plan that we may
have, is insecure or lost if our national security is impaired, It must be ------------------------------------ By BILLY ROSE-------------------------------------

You Can't Build
A Better Mousetrap!
“They’re not the best-looking
boarders a man ever had." Hack
Turner said one day, “and they’ve
got awful tempers. But I’ve found
it pays to have ’em around.
Hack was talking about a fam­
ily of barn owls, nesting in his silo
this year. Some folks believe those
little white-faced screechers kill
chickens—and ought to be shot on
sight. But Hack disagrees.
“Up at State University they’ve
studied barn owls for years —and
never known one to eat a chicken.
On the other hand, a daddy owl
will clean up around 300 mice a
month. Farmers that kill barn
owls are throwing away the best
mousetraps known to man ! ”
From where I sit, when someone
shows a prejudice against any
group of animals or humans — it’s
usually just based on misunder­
standing. For instance, some folks
are plumb intolerant about those of
us who enjoy an occasional quiet
glass of beer. Get to really know us
and you're liable to And we're
pretty good birds at that!
