NEWS FORCE ON THE Bun

The mechanical force of the Sew ,
has been Handicapped, and sorl of
on the bum this week. as result al
the illness of our linotype operator,
Walter Glafckc. who has been con-
fined to his home since Friday Of
last week. The work in a news
papers mechanical department cen
ters about the linotype machine. and
when that department is non pro-
ductive. for any reason. the work
of the whole shop is impaired II
our friends see an unusual number
Of shortcomings in the paper this
week. will they please bear in mind
that the type for the paper was set
by very green and decidedly poor
linotyper. whose customary role in
the business is that of pencil push
er. and who doesn't like the pesky
linotype machine anyway.

LET'S HAVE A WHITE WAY

From the standpoint of II proper
lighting of her business district,
Durant shows up worse than any OF
her city of equal size in Oklahoma.
This is the plain unvarnished truth
told so straight that il is blunt. We
admit that some truths hurt when
spoken out loud, and we are also
sure that saying it in whisper or
hiding it altogether won't correct
the ailment.
The Frederick Leader tells of the
action of the council of that city in
spending some 100000 for Il mod
ern white way and that town Is
Just about half the size of Durant.
They are handling II by a bond issue
some way or another. hut the details
don't concern MS here. The fact
remains that Durant is one of the
very few Oklahoma cities of ten
thousand people that has not built II
white way in the business district.
Wen forestall one objection by
agreeing that the city council cant
provide the money with which to do
it, and wen he pessimistic enough
to agree that the people would not
stand for IA bond issue in small
sum for the purpose.
However, If three or four nice or
namental standards We're placed ON
each side of the street in each of the
blocks in the business district, and
the cost were prorated among the
business firms on basis of frontage
or floor space occupied. there isn't
a business in town that would get
hurt a bit. In truth the additional
advertising to he derived by tn"
business institutions thru better
lighted streets, and consequent in
crease in window shopping, would
pay the entire cost of installation in
a short while. If the business men
thru the Commercial Association
let us say. could agree on n propos
itiOn something like this,the NEWS
is sure that the city would be able
and willing to make the necessary
arrangements to have the juice tur-
ned on.

THE NEW COLLEGE BUILDING

For a long time about four or
five years probably, the Oklahoma
Presbyterian College has been in
need Of a new building to furnish
much needed dormitory and class
room facilities. A few years agp,
the satisfaction of that need was
but a dream--a hope if you please.
for the future
That dream has come true---and
those hopes have been realized
The college is out of debt. plans are
complete for the erection of that
needed building this summer. and
the institution faces the era OF ex-
pansion and growth. which years of
struggle against difficult obstacles
justly entitle the institution to real
Ice.
The building OF a college is a
more arduous task than the devel-
opement Of any private business.
