limmu Inline' Tmilar Prormitntoel JIIIIIIIJ efVIIIIJ llUllbl I I WVIfJIIUI V7 Near-Disaster For Glendale Area By G. B. FOX It looked for a while like a hlcak Christmas eve for kiddies of ; the Glendale area last Friday. ' Glendale's Community Christmas ! tree was down broken off, in j fact. i l It seemed like another of those 1 imexDlainable "Who-dunnits," un til C. E. (Jimmy) Johns stepped forward and confessed. Somehow the tree had leaned under the weight of it's heavy power cable during the night, and the next morning the unexpected happened. Jimmy was driving his empty log ging truck past the tree, as he had done for several days previously without mishap. The reach of his trailer, riding high atop the tractor unit snugged the tree's sagging power line and disaster. Hist Pays Off The Glendale Christmas Com mittee, however, wasn't about to see kiddies disappointed, trouble or not. They went into a huddle with the City Maintenance Depart ment and came out ready for ac tion. A truck was rushed out of the forest under the command of Bill Blomme for a substitute, while Don and helpers removed the broken tree and stump. Back came Bill with truck ind tree, and while Bob Jones buckled on his trusty spurs. Don and his crew aid ed by Jimmy and his crew set up the shimmering substitute. Lp went the lights in jig time, and in the nick of time the tree was ready for it's starring role. At 7:30 it awaited the arrival of Santa. Tooley Becomes Santa Homer Tooley played host to the Glendale area kiddies in the guise of St. Nick, who was busy else-, where, and delighted 412 young guests. The tree and treats were made possible by the Glendale Kire De partment, several merchants and fraternal orders. Music played dur ing the program was sponsored by the Glendale Ministerial Associa tion. Chairman Don Blakely gave particular praise to the role played ! be "Dutch" and Mickie Bartles in I raising funds for the tree. Blake ly also expressed appreciation to other individuals and groups who ; helped to inane the tree a rousing. 1 though nerve-wraeKing success.

PAYCHECKS for many people this month in the county come from the Oregon State Employment office.

J. Trouilt. Portland, chair man of the organization blamed Oregon's Congressional Delega tion for "Oregon being short changed when it comes to spend ing the defense dollar."

Charles McNary died in 1914. I Troudt said that California has i 26 large naval facilities, Washing - ton has eight, ajid "Oregon has only one little ftuirth-raie estab- lishment Tongue Point." He added that Oregon "not only I has to keep wliat little we have now, but it's urgent that we get ! more. We are being riiscriminat ! ed against. We don't even get an opportunity to bid competitively." Hatfieid said he hopes that Tongue Point can be used by the Army, Navy or Air Force, or as a missile facility. Troudt said the slate's news papers are not educating the people about the importance of getting new industry.
