! The-
Day's lews
By FRANK JENKINS
Text or today:
Douglas William Johnson, the
man who found the money bag on
a busy Los Angeles Street. It had
(alien out of a Brink armored
car. The driver hadn't noticed the
loss. Nobody had seen the bag
fall out.
It contained $240,000 in crisp
new greenbacks none of them
marked. The finder himself hadn't
noticed the printing on the bag,
which stated the contents. When
he did notice it, the thought ap
parently never occurred to him
that here was an unexampled op
portunity to SKIP THE COUNTRY
and live the life of Riley from
that time on.
He took immediate steps to find
the owner.
Why?
The answer is simple:
He is an HONEST man.
It was quite a story.
The radio newscasts picked it
up and made a feature of it. The
newspapers front-paged it.
J. B. Allen, ganeral manager of
Brink's Pacific division, was in
Houston (Texas) when he heard it
and shortly afterward saw it con
firmed in print. He grabbed a
plane and rushed back to L. .
Describing his emotions, he says
this morning:
"I spent a sleepless night. All
I could think of was HOW COULD;
WE FIND A WAY TO EXPRESS
OUR THANKS TO A MAN LIKE
THIS?
"What could we possibly do to
PROPERLY express our gratitude
and our respect for his integrity?"

He adds:
"I thought, of course, of giving
him a MONEY reward. But
THE TAX WOULD TAKE A
SIZEABLE PART OF IT. Besides,
he has been getting along without

As for Mr. Johnson, the finder,
he can say to himself with sin
cere conviction:
HONESTY is the best policy.
He will be right.
Question:
Who coined the phrase: Honesty I
is the best policy?
The earliest recorded user of it
was Miguel de Cervantes,- author
of Don Quixote, and creator of
Don Quixote, the ragged knight,
and Sancho Panza, his wise-cracking
squire.
He wrote back in the 16th cen
tury.
. Our own George Washington, in
his Farewell Address to his coun
trymen, picked up Cervantes' ad
vice in these words:
"I hold the maxim no less ap
plicable to public than to private:
affairs, that honesty is ALWAYS
the best policy."
He plans to enroll at the Univer
sity of Oregon in the tall as a

BONANZA-Sanlford Jones, a

annual meeting of the Langell

at the community hall here rn
day evening.
Lloyd Gift was reelected to the
board of directors for a four-year
term and Tony Kuatros of Bly;
was elected to a position vacated
by Dave Campbell.
Jones' selection was based on
his development of his ranch
property into a profitable opera
tion by improvement of his land
through conservation practices and;
by enlargement and improvement
of his sheep flock.
He has leveled most of the 739'
acres of irrigated land, installed
drainage ditches and reclaimed
soil affected by alkali through sul
