We read in the papers and hear on the air Of killing and stealing and crime everywhere. We sigh and we say as we notice the trend, “This younger generation. Where will it all end?” But can we be sure that it’s their fault, alone; That maybe a part of it isn’t our own? Are we less guilty who place in their way Too many things that lead them astray? Too much money to spend; too much idle time; Too many movies of passion and crime; Too many books not fit to be read; Too much evil in what they hear said; Too many children encouraged to roam By too many parents who won’t stay at home. Kids don’t make the movies; they don’t write the books That paint gay pictures of gangsters and crooks. They don’t make the liquor; they don’t run the bars; They don’t make the laws and they don’t make the cars. They don’t peddle the drugs that addle the brain, That’s all done by older folks greedy for gain. Delinquent teenagers: Oh, how we condemn The sins of the nation and blame it on them. By the laws of the blameless the Savior made known Who is there among us to cast the first stone? For in so many cases . .. it’s sad, but it’s true . . . The title “delinquent” fits older folks, too. —Anonymous.

OREGON PAGE TWO SEALY BREAKS NATIONALLY ADVERTISED* $5995 PRICE Get Famous Flex Guard Quality ‘20 OFF Farm and Market Outlook Outlined The following 10 command ments of how to get along with In New Circular Published by OSU i people are borrowed from the Deseret News Press: 1. Keep skid chains on your tongue; always say less than you think. Cultivate a low, persua sive voice. How you say it often counts more than what you say. 2. Make promises sparingly and keep them faithfully, no matter what it costs you. 3. Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind and encouraging thing to or about somebody. Praise good work done, regardless of who did it. If criticism is need ed, criticize helpfully, never spite fully. 4. Be interested in others; in terested in their pursuits, their welfare, their homes and their families, Make merry with those who rejoice; with those who weep, mourn. Let everyone you meet, however humble, feel that you regard him as one of impor tance. 5. Be cheerful. Keep the cor ners of your mouth turned up. Hide your pains, worries and dis appointments under a smile. Laugh at good stories and learn to tell them. 6. Preserve an open mind on all debatable questions. Discuss, but don’t argue. It is a mark of superior minds to disagree and yet to be friendly. 7. Let your virtues, if you have any, speak for themselves, and re fuse to talk of another’s vices. Discourage gossip. Make it a rule to say nothing of another unless it is something good. 8. Be careful of another’s feel ings. Wit and humor at the other fellow’s expense are rarely worth the effort, and may hurt where least expected. 9. Pay no attention to ill-nat ured remarks about you. Simply live so that nobody will believe them. Disordered nerves and a bad digestion are a common cause of backbiting. 10. Don’t be too anxious about your dues. Do your work, be pa tient and keep your disposition sweet, forget self and you will be rewarded. State Farm Bureau Favors 6% Limit On Property Tax Lou Norris, legislative and tax director for the Orgeon Farm Bu reau recently told the Finance and Local Government sub-com mittee of the state Constitutional Revision commission the Farm Bureau favors retention of the 6 percent limitation on the property tax base in Oregon. He said at a Portland meeting that the Farm Bureau requests also that a study be made on methods of applying the limita tion to prevent the elimination from acting as an escalator clause. Norris said farmers are con cerned over the ever - increasing property tax burden and that in the absence of the 6 percent limi tation, property taxes would rise at an even more rapid rate. Comparing the effective tax rate on farm land in Oregon with neighboring states shows that Oregon’s rate in 1960 was $1.02 per $100 of full valuation, while Washington had a 60 - cent rate with 95 cents in California, ac cording to Norris. He also reminded the commit tee that farm real estate taxes in Oregon have increased from $14.8 million in 1950 to $22.1 million in 1960. He said this increase in pro perty taxes has happened at a time when farm income has been trending downward. The Farm Bureau tax specialist said the limitation has strengthen ed the hand of the lay public in the affairs of government and that it has, to a degree, caused the State of Oregon to re-examine its fiscal structure and broaden its tax system. He added that the limitation has protected the pro perty taxpayer from large expen ditures and that it does discipline the budget makers. Oregonians who wish to farm for a living “will find their ability to do so depending considerably on the effects of new technology and government programs ” So says Marion D. Thomas, agricultural economist, in the new Oregon Farm and Market Outlook circular published by Oregon State university extension agricultural economists and marketing specialists. r “Those who keep informed economist notes that “in the short and are able to adopt new run, this will hurt some who find practices quickly will find machines performing their jobs at cost; but in the longer run. their incomes increased.

' SUNDAY NIGHT Cabinet Work Cabinet Shop Nazarene Church •••••••••••••••••••••••• Predicts "Growing Pains" Speakng of the outlook for Ore gon and the Mtion in general for 1962, Thomas sees further expan sion with growing pains that ‘‘are much less critical than the pains of a static or declining economy.” Outlook for domestic growth in the coming year rests “heavi ly” on government spending, lar ger business investment and more consumer spending, Economic analysts calculate that these de mand builders could boost the nation’s gross product around 8 percent above the current level by the end of 1962. Such growth, Thomas points out, would take up most of the slack in the economy which is now largely in the form of unused industrial capacity and unem ployed or under - employed men and women. Until these capaci ties are more fully used, there should be no significant increase in the general level of domestic prices, he writes. Expects 13Va Million More Jobs A growing labor force and in creased automation, both on and off the farm, will make employ ment a problem through the 1960’s, he believes. The U. S. la bor force is expected to increase 20 percent in the decade and re quire 13t4 million more jobs. The economy provided jobs for 8 mil. lion additional workers in the 1950’s. In the employment field, he sees no increase in needs for un skilled workers and a further de crease in on-farm jobs. More pro fessional, technical, managerial, service, sales and skilled workers will be needed. Their training means an increased demand for teachers.
