HELENS AND VERNONIA prospers under probation. It is The St. Helens Sentinel in its issue of last week made constructive. Even though Phil not elected, his suggestion the following comment upon the failure of Vernonia to was may have merits. pass the special tax for advertising and publicity: —Oregon Voter. Umuntia “Comparisons are odious, it has been said, but we can not refrain from stating that every measure affecting the city of St. Helens, suggested by the council and sponsored by the St. Helens chamber of Commerce, was carried by a big majority, and it is our belief that the explanations of the measures as set forth in St. Helens’ papers, convinced the majority of voters that the chamber and council were working for the best interest of the city. The voters were informd, told in a straight forward way the purpose of each amendment, and even the $60,000 bond issue for the site of the Soldiers home was approved by almost a 5 to 1 vote. Correct information usually estab lishes confidence. At the general election there are usually many voters whose interests are in affairs political and with little interest in civic affairs but despite this fact St. Helens’ city election held its own, with sound business legislation and a record vote.” Comment upon the comment is unnecessary, other to state that Vernonia, too, is just as public spirited as St. Helens when the voters are fully informed upon an issue. Witness, for instance, the Washington grade school, a project defeated until Vernonia people recognized the need of a new building and its value to the community. Arrangements are being made whereby a special election upon the levy for advertising and publicity may be held practiclly without cost, and it is to be hoped that the measure can be passed in time for immediate action while the colonization committee of the chamber of com merce is inaugurating its plans. ■ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1930. THE VERNONIA EAGLE PAGE FOUR DOING ONE’S BIT Among men who are doing their bit to relieve the un employment situation are George W. Ford and J. W. Brown. Mr. Ford is remodeling an old house, making over what was a very mediocre structure into one of the neat est and most attractive modern residences in town, as an investment. By putting his money to work at this time he is providing for two or three months a payroll that other wise would be non-existent, and is materially helping to beautify Vernonia. A similar service has been performed by Mr. Brown, who rebuilt a section of his apartments and his funeral parlors destroyed by fire last spring, making the new more commodious than the old, added a concrete drive way to his garage, and improved his lawn. It is the courage and public spirit of men like these that cause Vernonia to go ahead despite the general de- presssion. HONORS AGAIN EVEN For the fourth time the foot ball teams of St. Helens high school and Scappoose high school have fought to a tie. On the surface it might seem a put-up job between these communities which have always been friendly one to the other. But such is not the case, as any one who has witnessed the games will testify, for there has always been a hard fought game and a clean one. Scappoose refuses to be licked and St. Helens has the same idea. And, after all, it might be a good thing for these two closely associated and friendly commu nities. Each has helped the other and their Interests are mutual. Perhaps these tie games will (if the pun will be excused) tie us more closely together for the common interest of this sec tion of Columbia. —St. Helens Sentinel. paper maker should be the auth ority in matters of advertising. By the same method of reason ing that we go to a doctor for advice in matters of health, we should seek out the newspaper for advice in matters of adver tising. Buyers of advertising and the various strange things sometimes classified as advertis ing, should be schooled to ac cept the newspaper as a reliable consultant in such matters. The net result, granting that all newspapers will offer profession ally sincere counsel, should be a vast saving in time and money, to say nothing of faith in hu manity. Every day come reports of sharp practices by crooks who operate in the name of adver tising. Not all are reachable by better business bureaus and oth- er agencies of control. Their activities can be restrained n smaller fields only by the ar dent cooperation of their intend ed victims and the newspaper authority. Church organizations and persons in business who do not advertise seem to be es pecially susceptible to the wiles of crooked "advertising” pro moters. And one proper sting ing doesn’t yield a cure. Recent ly for instance, several reports have come of the success of a racketeer who solicited adver tising from business houses for a church notice card, gave his church sponsors a niggardly split of the spoils and vanished with- out having the cards printed, There are menu stunts, direc- tory schemes, guides and what not to lure "advertising” money and many of them are crooked. The newspaper shop should be prepared to segregate the good from the bad and the buyer should consult his newspaper be fore submitting himself to any “advertising” inducement. —Western Publisher will be no escapes through kick- ing out bricks which was the case in the old jail which served The the county many years. cell blocks moved from the jail formerly located on the third floor of the court house have been set up on the south side of the new building and are being repainted.

What Other Editors Think At first we were puzzled at Phil Metachan’s notion of the Pacific Northwest states unit ing to maintain a regional lum ber lobby at Washington in or der to impress the nation with facts concerning our basic in dustry. The more we think it over, the more it appeals to us. The lumbermen themselves have their associations, which are ab ly agented at Washington, but which represent private owner ship of an industry but do not represent the needs of a region that is dependent on that in- the form of large, airy rooms which have however, steel doors and barred windows. Entrance to the jail is through doors at both the west and east sides of the building, and in ad dition a concrete bridge with steel railings connects it direct ly with the sheriff’s office and provides means of bringing in pri soners for trial or other pur poses. —Hillsboro Independent.
