—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.

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.

At first we were puzzled at
Phil Metachan’s notion of the

ing to maintain a regional lum
ber lobby at Washington in or

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

which represent private owner

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

provides means of bringing in pri
soners for trial or other pur
poses.
