is another viewpoint which may be taken,
and when developed, may mean the rise of a
wider business than that which is lost.
The new business is to use a portion of
the valley’s milk products, which portion
will be small, but there is the opportunity
for a wider development of that use. That
development of which we have just a small
addition now must be brought to greater
fruitfulness in the future.
be compared with the loss of the mill and
its payroll but one that, with development,
will mean the building up of business in the
valley. That concern is the ice cream manu
facturing plant and confectionery which is
to be located in the Oregon Gas and Electric
company building. Some may scoff at the
idea of there being any comparison between
the two. Those who do will be correct if they
say there is no comparison when the loss and
gain are considered at this time. But there
FESTIVAL FOR EVERYONE—
THE DATES of the week set aside for
the commemoration of music throughout the
nation has been named as May 5 to May 11
The movement is sponsored by the National
Music Week Committee of New York. The
first record of an observance was that of
Boise, Idaho, in 1919. By 1924 the decision
was to enlarge the observance into a national
affair and to invite all cities to celebrate
music week at the same time.
The full value of the week cannot be
determined but it has been the spur to the
organizing of many community choirs, chor
uses and instrumental groups and has served
as a means of discovering talent throughout
the country, especially through activities
in schools where music, as a subject, is being
given more and more consideration and justly
so. Many young people with talent have there
by been discovered so to speak and have been
started on life careers.
Vernonia again this year will be active in
commemoration of the week in that May 3rd,
Friday, has been set aside for a program
which will be devoted partially to music.
ONE CONCERN LEAVES;
ANOTHER ARRIVES—
WITHIN THE past two or three weeks
Vernonia has seen a change which, although
on a small scale, must be the eventual trans
position on a wider scale as timber resources
are exhausted.
The first account was that of the leav-
ing of the Bennett sawmill which is being

That is Vernonia’s loss and one that will

but in the past several years repeated at
tempts have arisen to the end of seeking
further curtailment especially of undertakings
which, after all, should be broadcast as in
formation to the people governed.
Oft repeated reasons expressed for the
curtailment have been that the majority of
people could have little understanding even
though they should be acquainted with facts
It would seem that those factions desir
ing publication curtailment should have the
right to judge just what information should
be revealed and just what should not. They
would be the judges. To them would belong
the right of saying “this is not good for you,
you should not read it.” “Therefore we will
forbid it to be made known.” “We will for
bid its publication for your common good.”
When any one individual or small group
is given the power to decide what is “good”
for the millions of others, to decide what the
large majority shall be permitted to know,
then the principals of democracy are violated
to a degree where there is no democracy. In
stead the condition is that of dictatorship.
Democratic principals are no more. Freedom
is no more. The right of freedom was one of
the ideals rising with democracy and one of
the ideals that must never be destroyed.
