VERNONIA EAGLE. VERNONIA^OREGON
“No man stands so straight as
when he stoops to help a boy.”
With so many millions of men
out of work, it is such an easy
matter to become careless and
pay no attention to boys. Men are
doubly busy with the affairs of
business and trying to figure out
how they can live up to their
codes. Worrying details occupy
one’s mind. Yet, all about us, are
boys who need help—the help
that domes from encouraging
words, a helping hand, a little
boost. All these helpful things
take just a minute of any man’s
time—and yet the mean so much
to a boy.
It does not take long for a
boy to grow and develop into a
man. It may be that what we
say today will have a big influ
ence on what kind of a man he
will be. Are we doing the thing
that will help the boy? Just
a cordial word of greeting in the
morning as the boy is on his way
to school will frequently give the
lad just the needed encourage
ment for that particular day. Do
we do that? Can we truthfully
say that we have been the means
and channel by which a boy gets
his inspiration to do better things.
There is so much we can do in

And that’s why the tobaccos in
Chesterfield are carefully balanced
one against the other . . . not too
much of one — not too little of
another.
We take the right amounts of
the right kinds of four types of
tobacco — Bright, Burley, Mary
land and Turkish.
It is this balancing of tobaccos
that makes Chesterfields milder
and makes them taste better.
