THANKS TO THE JOURNAL
Last week the Oregon Journal of
Portland ran editorials calling atten
tion to the students at Chemawa
who would be without gifts at Christ
mas unless kindhearted people came
to the rescue. As a result of these
editorials Girl Scouts of Portland and
the Lions Clubs of Portland and Sa
lem, as well as various individuals,
have responded generously and now
all the children will receive gifts at
the Chemawa Christmas trees. We
are indeed grateful to the Journal for
the kind deed and kind words.
A KIND DEED
We send greetings and thanks to
Mr. John S. Kunkle for the five dol
lars which he gave to the small
children's Christmas fund. Mr. Kunkle
retired as plumbing instructor here a
few years ago and now lives near
Salem. He always had a soft place
in his heart for the little ones and
still thinks of them, especially at this
time of the year.
'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse.
When out in the night
We heard a clear call,
“Hi Ho Silver!
The chimney's too small!"
ELIMINATION TOURNAMENT
Our wish for you,
Wherever you are:
The joy of the Shepherds,
The peace of Star.
