FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1939 VERNONIA EAGLE, VERNONIA, OREGON P>GE FOUR easle editorials SEVEN RULES OF SAFETY— THE STAND OF BUSINESS- THE NATIONAL Association of Manu facturers recently released a statement of the stand of business on the question of war. she statement is given below for the infor- mation it may contain: American industry hates war. ___ _____ War lives. wrecks homes. War destroys Economic chaos and years of crushing de pression are its inevitable aftermath. It im perils representative democracy. Free institu tions are among its early victims. Ultimately no one can escape the ruin of war. American industry wants peace. Peace is the life blood of progress. Peace must be the national objective. Industry’s position on this matter has been stated repeatedly and there must be no misunderstajiding about it. The United States can stay out of war. Emotionalism can betray us into war. A public will to peace, coupled with wise policies and affirmative action to this end by our government will keep us out of war. A fatalistic attitude to this end by our govern ment will keep us out of war. A fatalistic at titude that war is inevitable for us is absurd. It presupposes that America cannot conduct itself intelligently to preserve peace and its own interests. Europe’s problems do affect us, but our domestic problems still must come first. If yesterday industry was the only source of prosperity and re-employment, today it is as well the keystone of preparedness and peace. Under any conditions, America must depend on a smoothly functioning, efficient industrial system. Manufacturers will not relax their ef forts to achieve and maintain sound improve ment in our domestic economy. Industry opposes profiteering—the utili zation of war psychology to boost prices for the purpose of making excessive profits. As manufacturers we recognize it to be our responsibility and moral obligation to A"'-'---------------------- V . ----- ---- conduct our business so that the prices of - X*-- the product we produce and sell are related equit ably to production costs. We pledge our energetic support to this policy. The N. A. M. calls upon all its members to exercise vigilance against any price or profit policies not justified by actual cost and anticipated cost of replacement.

Official newspaper of Vernonia, Oregon PAPER IATI ON AN AUTHORITY of the nation recently issued a set of seven fire prevention rules which, should they be religiously observed, would go a long way toward preventing un wanted fires. They have been stated as fol lows: Use electricity safely. That means that all electric wiring and equipment should be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and that repairing and instal lation should be done by an expert workman. Amateur electric work is one of fire’s best friends. Smoke in safe places only. That goes for your home, your office, the factory in which you work, for the outdoors and everywhere else. Carelessness with matches and smoking materials destroys untold millions of dollars worth of property yearly. Remember that great fires were small fires to start with. Proper building construc tion, plus good fire protection, would make it possible to prevent almost any fire from seriously spreading. Fire breeds in oily waste. Keep all such waste in closed metal containers. Carelessness and ignorance are often the cause of explosive fires. Here is a rule espec ially applicable to workmen in industry who should thoroughly understand the possible fire dangers involved in their particular jobs. In many factories and places of business special fire hazards exist which reauire un usual precaution and vigilance. Cleanliness is a great aid to fire preven tion. Keep your basement, garage, attic and closets clear of litter. All of these rules are simple and easily observed. By observing them a home or busi ness may be saved, but infinitely more im portant, a human life. THE FIRST HOME GAME FRIDAY— FRIDAY OF this week brings the Clats kanie football team here to play the Vernonia Loggers eleven for the first home game of the season. The Loggers have already played one league game, that with St. Helens but the contest was staged on the St. Helens field. The game this Friday will be played on the city park field to give Vernonia fans the opportunity of seeing the contest. A pep rally is scheduled for Thursday evening to open the season locally and ar rangements have been made for the Vernonia band to play the afternoon of the game. The Loggers need the support of Verno nia fans for the team is a representative of local endeavor in that field of sports. The support will be appreciated by the team and will aid them in victory if it is received. The greater the support the greater are chances for a winning team. Months ago this association said: “No sensible person believes that profit can come out of the wreckage of human life and economic dislocation.” The use of this crisis as an excuse either to extort unjustifiable profits or to pursue partisan political objectives is not only inde fensible and dangerous, but reprehensible morally. Nor should pleas of “emergency” be utilized as an excuse for reaching objectives which the American people would not other wise sanction. The present situation calls for agreement on common objectives, but the democratic process of consultation and criticism must never be abandoned. Otherwise, we shall be following in the footsteps of those who be lieve in government by coercion. In a world distraught by force the best way to preserve representative democracy is to practice it.
