Watch Out for the Needy
l.n Grande's Ited C't'oiw chapter ha
been miKhty busy for (several weeks.
People who are unfortunate niunt not

uloKun of the chapter. Fuel hux been
furnished, an has food and clothing,
and more will be' needed. There

In that capacity.

the Observer sincerely hope the re
sponse will be generous, for every
cent used by that organization' is
used in the right wuy.
Just lay aside n little for tho needy
and keep it ready for the call of the
institution that is working all the
timo that those who huve hard link
may keep, tho wolf from the door and
clothe their children.
La Grande does not harp much on
charity for we have a remarkable
community in that most people c:m
and do care, for themselves. Hut in
storm and in winter when there hap
pons to lw some who arc actually in
ieer, tho community must respond.
Keep in mind that no undeserving
person is served by the Ited Cross for
it has a card Index system which
keeps tab on everyono in the city
and when you give you know It is
going directly to those who need it.
Bucking Snow

order of the day and he who does not
buck the soft, while, feathery earth
covering is considered by his neigh
bors a slacker and not a good citizen.
For several days automobiles have
been rarely seen an I the old gray
mare with her sleigh bells and sleigh
has been the means of travel Those
who did not have the old mare have
walked, and vtrange ns it may seem

But walking is greatly helped li

It is an ocl.l sort of session, for
the court has not a single case in

to give an iniptession of forced and
unwelcome idleness. Th:? court voui .
like to have something to do. !
It will have, no doubt, if it slays
