SALEM (AP) - Democratic
Rational Chairman Paul M. Butler
f aid Saturday night that the Dem
ocrats will nominate a presidential
candidate who will insist that the
United States be "a first-rate,
first-place power, which is intent
on winning the race for national
survival."
Butler addressed the closing
dinner of the first Oregon Demo
cratic Convention, at which 400
delegates from 27 counties spent
two days to hammer out a plat
form for its candidates.
In his prepared address, Butler
faid the Democratic candidate
"will not pooh-pooh the idea of
Russian economic gains. He will
take the challenge seriously."
Butler continued: "Unlike Re
publicans, it will not be necessary
for us Democrats to create a new
image of our nominee and to
worry about the unhappy memory
of his blemished past.
, "It will not be necessary for our
nominee to dissociate himself from
his party or suddenly, as election
time draws near, to endorse pro
grams and policies which hereto
fore he has vigorously opposed."
The Democratic nominee, he
went on, will not be "rammed
down the throat of the delegates
by any old-guard or rear-guard
dictation."

The map of Africa, once a patch
work of colonial claims and rival
ries, underwent another one of
those quiet revolutionary changes
January 1.
The Camcroons, a one-time Ger
man colony, later a French man
date, became the seventh African
state since World War II to gain
complete independence.
At least two more are scheduled
to achieve the goal later in the
year.
No where has the postwar na
tionalism bug bitten more deeply
than on the African continent,
where pagan rites of superstition
vie for attention with ultra mod
ern cities.
AT THE END of World War 11
there were only four states on the
Dark Continent (hat could be called
independent Egypt, Liberia, Ethi
opia and South Africa.
Since the war, the growing rolls
of freedom have expanded to in
clude Morocco, Tunisia, Libya,
dnnea, GhanI, Sudan and the
Ciimeroons.
In addition, there are the 12
autonomous republics that make
up the French community with
close economic tics with France.
They are Mauritania. Senegal, Su
dan Republic, Voltaic Republic,
Ivory Coast, Dahomey, Niger.
Chad, Central African Republic,
Congo. Gabon and the Malagasy
Republic.
The British colony of Nigeria is

It was now getting late. The
thing was put together, but I don't
think anybody's four - year - old
daughter would play with it for
more than 15 minutes without hav-
ng it in pieces. My friend came
over with heavy - duty pliers
and he took it apart again and
assemlbed the nuts and saw to
the' pladement of the wheels.
The little red wagon is now hap
pily pulling a load of rocks, blocks,
toy soldiers and a cat named Pep
per. It works beautifully.
But I figure this toy company
owes me $10.9479 cents for pliers,
15 cents for oil, and $10 tfigured

NEW YORK (NEA)-Now that
the season of good will toward men
is behind us, it is fitting to tell
you about the ill will I bear toward
one toy manufacturer.
1 I do not know anybody at this
company. They may all be charm
ing people. And my ill will is not
personal; they are merely the last
straw.
These people make wagons. May
be they make other things, too,
but it was a little toy red wagon
that first brought us together.
I bought it for my four-year-old
daughter for Christmas. The lady
who sold it to me happily took my
money and said she would send it.
It came. In a flat box. And so
said to myself, looking at this
flat box, "If those lazy good-for-nothings
have sent this knocked
down, I'm going to sue."
Those lazy good-for-nothings had,
indeed, shipped the tiny little red
wagon knocked down. I opened it.
Out came the wagon, four wheels.
two axles, a handle, a bunch of
nuts and bolls and a mimeographed
sheet of directions.
Well, of course, I didn't sue. It
was three days before Christmas,
and four-year-old daughters would
not be very happy if they were
told that their Christmas present

dage for my finger.
And I am sending them a bill
for $10.94. I have been threatening
to bill somebody for making me
do their work for years. I acted,
after all, as a sub-contractor for
the company. Without me, they
wouldn't have made a wagon. This
is America and people who work
for other people get paid.
OK, you wagon company fork

and the other lazy industrialists

duct, or everybody else will start
billing you for doing your work.

Further down, the directions

New Bell System Operating Unit comes to Pacific Northwest
PACIFIC TELEPHONE-NORTHWEST
born to better serve the growing needs of
a growing land
o
vir the years we've learned that "community of interest" has a special
meaning where good telephone service is concerned. That's why so
many geographically unified areas of the country have their own
telephone companies within the Bell System. These locally managed,
separate companies, we've found, not only better understand their communities
and customers, but can be more flexible to their needs, They participate in com
munity affairs more helpfully, and enjoy closer relations with employees.
We've all watched the rapid growth of Washington, Oregon and Northern
Idaho. As they have grown, and as their horizons expand, the job of keepings
telephone service in step has pointed clearly to a separate telephone organization.
The time has come. Pacific .Telephone-Northwest is a reality; an independent
operating unit of Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company ; with its own presi
dent and a management staff whose concern will be the Pacific Northwest and
its needs.
Pacific Telephone -Northwest will be staffed, equipped, and operated within the
Bell System as a separate company as far as practicable. Most work now done for
this region at Pacific Telephone in San Francisco will be transferred gradually
to the Pacific Northwest. Walter Straley, President of the new unit, with head
quarters at Seattle, will also maintain an office in Portland.
Key members of the Pacific Northwest management team will be Ben E. Bowl
ing, Vice President and General Manager for Washington-Idaho ; and Francis
M. Mitchell, Vice President an3 General Manager for Oregon. Each has had
more than thirty years of Bell Telephone service in his area. They will work
closely with Walter Straley in initiating policy and making decisions based upon
first-hand familiarity with local situations. This is another forward step to make
your telephone a more useful servant, and the company that brings it to you a
more helpful member of our Pacific Northwest community.
