Here Is Mrs. Callahan's message: "My dear club worker: Greetings and my best wishes to ea-h member of your club for the coming Christ mas season. This Is to be a glad season for us all. yet we must be reminded that the people of the United States today are facing prob lems that should be met with clear thinking, cool determination and great courage. The women of the nation have been called upon to help In this time of stress and they are rising to the occasion and giving aid in many ways. They must continue this unselfish work until the present period of unrest has passed, and the disturbed social life has regained its normal calmness. "One factor that will help to sta bilize this restlessness is the awak ening of community consciousness and this can be brought about by a group of interested people. As the nation is composed of people banded together in communities, improvement in these small units will add strength to the whole structure. Close at hand In every community are problems that need attention. ' These fields of study have limitless possibilities within the borders of each community "The home Job is a big one, and with a new sense of values, its many aspects which were never before seen as they are now. Instead of being a nation of novel readers as were the people of yesterday, they today crave more nourishing food for their mental diet. Instead of reading romances they are concered about education, public health, child welfare and other vital questions. Through earnest studv and deep thinking they are try Ing to accomplish conservation of life of happiness, of civil and national integrity. "Profiting by the experience of the past they should face the new prob lems with confidence, intelligence and self control, firm In the hope that moved by the spirit of broad altruism and unfailing loyalty they shall help to balance the unrest which is now Dossessing the world. As an inde pendent body of thoughtful workers the Oregon Federation of Women's Ciubs can exert an influence on th communities of the state which wil add strength to the nation. Com munity service is the home job and it is a good place to start." Some of the Portland clubs are do ing special Christina- worii. Rotable The Dalles Sorosis club, keeping in mind the admonition of Mrs. Charles H. Castner, former state president, "nothing but service which is our unbounded duty toward our country," worked faithfully toward that end.

A plan of practical research will be followed facts gathered concerning existing conditions, discussions held as to ways and means of remedying the situation and definite recommenda tions will be made by the committees to the association as to action to be taken.

If any work of value Is to be accomplished, how ever, concerning, the insane and the Glencoe Parent-Teacher circle has an active membership and the com munity meetings are attractive fea tures. The community dancing class, which Is held every Saturday night from 30 to 9 o'clock and general dancing from 9 to 11 o'clock, has proved such a success that plans are being formed ror a new class.

General Axgopetlon Ik Kipertfd to Speak Here January 11. sfrzt? Jtyjrs.tJ'.JfS'iocJc ex. DRAIN, Or., Dec. 13. (Special.) Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Stocker celebrated their golden wedding here on November 24. They were married in Clay county, Kansas, in the year 1869. They moved to Oregon in June, 1875. Mr. Stocker was a soldier In the war of the rebellion and served nearly three years. They have two children living at this time, Mrs. Harvey Taylor and E. A. Stocker, both of Drain. They have always been held in great respect by their neighbors, and their friends are legion. They lived on their farm about three miles from Drain until about a year ago, when Mr. Stocker's failing health compelled them to move to Drain, where they are now living. Till: clubwomen of Connecticut have decided to be responsible for raising the entire quota of the state. $600,000. which will be gath ered for the relief of Armenia and Syria. Reports from those coun tries state that conditions are most appalling, and the fact that so many orphans are suffering seems to cause the heartstrings of American women to vibrate with sympathy. Many clubwomen are among those who will give generously in the Christmas of fering for Armenia General Mesrop Azgapetian. one of the greatest Armenian generals, will be in Portland January 11. to give an address.
