Hoover...
(Continued front page 1)
I to have resided in Oregon. He
! lived in Newberg during his boy
hood and attended Pacific Acad
i emy, which is now George Fox
! College. Hoover also resided in
' Salem.
A Republican, Hoover was
President from 1929 to 1932. Dur
ing his term the Great Depression
set in, and he never forgave
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, his
I successor, for calling it the
I ‘‘Hoover depression.”
As the years progressed, how
ever, Hoover came to look at the
depression years with a bit more
humor.
Humor a Characteristic
Discussing depressions once, he
said: “I should be regarded as an
expert of these subjects. At
least, I was credited with having
constructed one, all by myself—
the entire world depression which
lasted in the United States from
1931 to 1941. I even had the
honor of having that depression
named after me by various poli
tical candidates.”
With the humor that was a
characteristic of Hoover after he
mellowed, he replied to praise
in this manner.
Work—Best Antidote
“Much overstatement has been
made here today and it would
take too much time to refer to
all of it. But I'll simplify it for
you by saying it's all true.”
Hoover called “work" the ‘‘best
antidote to ills and pills.”
His range of public service
i spanned directing massive relief
; operations in World War I, food
administration in the United
1 States, a term as secretary of
| commerce, and then the presi
i dency.
A boyhood friend of the former
I President said Tuesday night he
had been invited to attend Hoov
er’s funeral in New York City,
according to Associated Press.
Burt Brown Barker, vice-presi
dent emeritus of the University,
said he will leave Portland Wed
! nesday. Barker will celebrate his
91st birthday Nov. 3.
He was a Sunday school class
mate of Hoover at Salem. Barker
said he corresponded with Hoov
er through the years and often
visited the former president.
