NATIONAL EDITORIAL PUBLISHERS ^ASSOCIATION “THE RAPER THAT HAS NO ENEMIES IIAS NO FRIENDS." — George Putnam Plans, Sweat, and Co-operation Said of us at the Canyon-wide dinner on September 12, 1950, was this, “You have a perfect climate, rich soil, power, timber and possibly minerals. You can do anything you wish if you are willing to pay the price. M hen 1 say ‘price’, I do not have in mind ‘money’. I am thinking of plans, sweat, and co-operation.” Those “plans, sweat, and co-operation” are here. Committeemen from chamber of commerce groups and active representatives of civic bodies all up and down the Canyon are moving towards and meeting together in regard to a Santiam Canyon association. These men are promoting the general welfare of the North Santiam Canyon when they form a central organiza tion with an eye towards developing and working out a successful sales cam paign for our entire area. It is rather generally recognized that this canyon's citizens have been doing a bit of crying about this, that, and another thing. Citizens cried about having no hospital in the Canyon. Some men came along selling a hospital. The Canyon citizens bought it—Santiam Memorial Hospital. Events have an irritating and disheartening way of occurring in a manner at outs with each of our desires. When some event goes amiss (compared to individual plan for its happening), the urge is quite strong that a cry burst from the lips. Never one so lonely is he or she who sees another or others doing well that which was once his or her own happy dream. Who is the peculiar character who does not want new- year-‘round pay rolls in the Canyon? Look to the left and right for such a person—he or she can not be found! Each citizen cries alone—Boo! Hoo! We have no big payrolls! No community spirit! Boo! Hoo! With the same token Santiam Memorial Hospital was bought—purchase of fat year- round payrolls for this Canyon is possible. Industry awaits good Canyon salesmen—those who know and have confidence in their product. Most of those same men who made possible a Canyon hospital now have taken on the selling job of getting purchasers for the many worthwhile products of the North Santiam Canyon—timber, minerals, farm products, grass seeds, power, and fantastic recreational opportunities. As these men formed themselves into a hospital association, so do they now go about forming a Santiam Canyon association. Again these men go through the labor pains of giving birth to a new era for the North Santiam Canyon, because they have caught the powerful vision of the world of tomorrow. Soon one can watch baby robins in their nests. When mamma robin comes with a beak full of food, her babies crane their pipestem necks upwards and stretch wide open' their mouths. Each baby robin vents its hunger cry. Which baby gets the most worms? Of course, it is the one which holds open its mouth the longest and cries the loudest. The Canyon is but one hungry baby robin in the state of Oregon. A Santiam Canyon association can raise a pretty loud noise for the Canyon's citizens. Announcing . . .

Dear Mr. Rose: There’s an old German couple in our neighborhood named Otto and Lena Brenner, and something happened to them not long ago which you might want to mention in your column. Otto has been a gateman at one of the local breweries for longer "It ain’t that,” said Otto. “This than most of us can remember, and is the first time my old lady has ever since he got married in 1910 let me cash my pay check and I'll he’s been turning his pay check over never hear the end of it if I don't to his wife who cashes it at the have the money when she gets back. grocer’s and gives I gave a panhandler a quarter be him a couple of dol fore I came in and that's when the lars off the top for bills must have fallen out of my spending money. pocket.” • • • About 30 cents of this goes for WELL, PRACTICALLY every smoking tobacco body in Stegmeyer’s went out to and the rest for look for Otto's money, but there was beer at Stegmeyer’s no sign of it so he finally went Social Club, a sa home, plenty worried about how loon where Otto Lena was going to take it. drops in regularly Billy Hose later there was a knock for a little talk with the boys.
