REICH The Gray Ladies One of the most looked for at . fairs at the veterans hospital is the annual Christmas dance giv en by the Gray Ladies. This year it was held on Friday, December 27. The auditorium of the Recrea tion building, where the dances are usually held, was artistically decorated. A large, Beautifully trimmed Christmas tree was placed in the center of the front end of the hall. Above this tree hung a very large star made up entirely of whitobulbs. Through out the auditorium festoons of green and red paper rope were hung from wall to wall. All the decorations were done by the men at the -hospital under the 'hle direction of Miss Huldn Gjovre, the recreational direc tor. The women, dressed in lovely dinner gowns enhanced the holi day picture, as they danced against this colorful background. Though there was a smaller than usual attendance of women because of the prevalence of "flu," a good time was had by both the men and the Gray La dles and their invited guests. Casey Jone's Fireman's band provided lively music for the oc casion. Besides the modern mu sic, the orchestra also played a number of old-fashioned waltzes which the veterans always en joy. One or two Paul Jones dances helped to get everyone acquainted and put everybody into a true holiday" spirit. At nine o'clock, there was a half hour's intermission. The Gray Ladies then furnished and served refreshments. The Gray Ladies present at the dance were Mrs. Leonard Cole man, Mrs. L. W. Jnsse, Mrs. Ar thur H. Mount ford, Mrs. John M. rtaish, Mrs. E. F. Tandy, Mrs. Thomas Parkinson and Mrs. Alan I. Reich. The next meeting of the Gray Ladiess wil be held at the home of Mrs. E. F. Tandy on Friday, January 10. It will be a 7:30 dessert-supper and all members are cordially invited to attend. Mrs. Velle Broadway, chairman, will preside at the business meet ing. Production Every woman and young girl who sympathizes with the plight of the refugees In the stricken European countries and the un fortunate made homeless in Eng land, can do her bit to alleviate th suffering of those innocent men, women and children. All that is required of those of you who can sew, cut, knit or em brolder is just a little of your spare time. All the materials are furnished by the Red Cross. As it has been proven that wo men enjoy doing this sort of work most when in groups, we are trying to get as many groups to organize as possible. Any groups of women who are sin cere in their sympathy and will ing to give a little of their time can get more details about what is required of them by going down to the Red Cross sewing room, which is located .in' the basement of the South Metho dist church on the corners of East Lane and Main streets, on Wednesday any time between 10 a and 4 o'clock. Mrs. Leonard Coleman, who is the production chairman for the Douglas county chapter of the Red Cross, will be there at that time, and will re serve the sewing room for the exact time the particular group will find It convenient to meet. And in the case where groups or individuals can only do work at home, Mrs. Coleman will lurnlsh the necessary, materials and in structions to take home. Each individual worker will get a card upon which will be re corded the. type of garment she is making, the material she is responsible for, and will be given credit for the numler of hours she has worked. There is a long list of things that women can . sew or knit. Just a few things are women's and girls' dresses and skirts, lay ettess, boys' shirts, overalls and shorts, convalescent robes, hos pital pajamas, bed shirts, men's, women's and children's sweat ers, mufflers, socks, afghans, shawls, beanies and knitted suits for children under six. Every one of the garments made by the women and girls of Douglas county will have a specially wov en label sewed Into the gar ment. On that label is woven, "American Red Cross, Douglas County Chapter, Roseburg, Ore gon." If anyone has a sewing ma chine that sne can loan out to the Red Cross, It will be greatly appreciated, and will receive the very best care. Those who would like to knit but cannot, will be able to learn now, as the Red Cross will furn ish an instructress. The women and girls who like to sew will especially enjoy their work. iThe money that the gov ernment recently donated to the Red Cross was used to huy sur plus stocks from the mills. This made it possible to get evception ally fine material for a mini mum cost. The material la so levely, it will inspire good work from even the beginner. Let us see how deep the sym pathy of the women of Douglas county really goes. Let us sec how many groups can be organ ized. The sooner we get to work, the sooner we can fill our chap ter's quota. As soon as our quo ta is filled, the garments, bear ing the Roseburg, Oregon, label, will be sent directly to the Red Cross warehouse in New York v. ross warenouM.- ... w From there the garments will be put on a Ited Cross boat which is respected by all nations, ana the garments will be rushed to the needy refugees. And thai which wo have formed wltn our lingers will he keeping some man, woman ur child warm and comfortable. Don't forget. You haye a date loHOe'down at the South Metho dist church on Wednesday after noon between 10 and 4 o'clock. First Aid There had been such a large demand for first aid instruction in Roseburg and the surrounding tewns, that an instructors' course was given in December. Dr. Frank E.

Cleland, president of the California Ore gon Power company, as guest speaker, it was announced today. Mr. Cleland, whose home is at Medford, Is a member of Rotary and has served as president of ByGalbraith DAILY DEVOTIONS DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS The prophets of old were great men. They lived close to God, and thereby were able to guide Israel. One who is to tell good tidings must live above doubts and fears that dull the vision of God. If one is to be the person whom God can use to help others he must be able to see good as well as bad on every side. Isaiah saw Christ eight hundred years be fore He came to save men. In spite of the lions den, Daniel saw God, and had confidence in His power and willingness to deliver him. There is a cer tain peak in the northern part of the. Adirondacks from which summit on a clear day one may see other peaks many miles away, and the entire outline is beautiful to behold. It is also wonderful what one may see In spiritual things if one gets near to God, for we cannot act. wisely, live holy and useful lives unless we see clearly and do faithfully the will of God. St. John in exile envisioned a new heaven arid a new earth, and we may not cease our efforts until every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Je sus Christ is Lord. Amen. the Medford Rotary club. He Is reported to be a very entertain ing speaker. Snake Destroys Pests A full-grown gopher snake, on a midwest farm, is estimated to be worth $40 annually as a pest destroyer. They are valuable to farmers because of the great number of harmful rodents that go to make up their menu. POETS CORNER THE HERMIT By aldenIiarness Where mighty cedars in the breezes nod On summits of these mountain peaks I learn Not in books but In the Truth that I discern, The mental and immortal chem istry of God. When I left the, noisey city and came here, Where stillness and the hush of ages brood And the forest seems like God's infinitude, Sweet, holy peace forever ho vered near And I knew her great white wings were over all. In these deep, vast solitudes I heard the call Of eternal Spirit from afar; Then all things, not as they seem to be To mortal sense, but as they really are, Were by the laws of Truth re vealed to me, And then it also was to me re: vealed That God Is not a man up in the skies. I saw that evil, wearing a dis guise, Down through the long, long ages had concealed This fact and had made us think and live such lies As the reality of mortal life, Including sin and suffering and strife. Beyond the Adam man I clear ly see That the real and perfect and the only me . Is blrthless, ageless, sinless, deathless, free, And is controlled by force that forever give The power to rightly think and rightly live Throughout all eternity.

(AP) The Pacific slope was In for more bad weather today, with rainstorms whipping the coastal regions and heavy snow falling in the mountains. Storm warnings flew from Port San Luis, Calif., north to Capo Flattery, Wash., because of "very disturbed weather conditions" cen tering about 500 miles off the Washington coast. Gales along the coasts of north ern California, Oregon and Washington reached a velocity of more than 50 miles an hour at times yesterday when the storm struck inland. The high winds caused some damage lit the San Francisco bay region. A blizzard in the Mount Shasta area and deep snow In the Sierra marked the passage of the dis turbance into the mountain coun try. The deluge of the rain that drenched San Francisco yester day increased seasonal precipita tion to nearly three inches more than normal. It was the 18th day out of the past 23 in which San Francisco has had rain. Other California cities reported their seasonal rainfall from two to five inches above normal. A powerful gust of wind ripped the roof from a hangar at the emergency airport at Concord, in Contra Costa county. The roof fell on a near by cottage, wreck ing it. Another roof was blown from a summer cottage at Rock- away beach, south of San Fran cisco. Rainfall . caused the Southern Pacific railway line to be flooded for a quarter mile at Richmond.
