LA GRANDE'S DEVELOPMENT ENCOURAGING (Continued from Pago One) Chats With Parents THE TYRANT By Alk-o Judson Penlo ' Tommy had learned in Infancy the technique which made him the tyrant of the household. At five he still used It effectively. Whenever he was frustrated or required to do something against his wishes, he would begin a pecu liar heaving, spasmodic cryinR which his famlty had long learned to recognlzo as a prelude to "his spells.' Usually the sound of that par ticular cry was enough to brins them to terms. If they held ut against him, ho would mutter be tween his crying, "Oh. I'm going to bo sick. I'm going to be sick." Jf even this failed, he would pro ceed to vomit then and there. Cer tainly If Tommy could not get what he wanted he knew how to revenge himself and be. at the same time, the center of solicitous attention. It was not until a new and stony hearted nurse entered Tommy's life that he was cured. She never i capitulated either to his warnings or his threats. She simply lfd hi mto the bath room, gave him a basin and closed the door. He had his "spell in solitude and the entire incident was i never a.vcurj. After the third lime he never did It again. Children aro not slow to learn those tricks which will bring their elders to term. Such habits as vomiting and broaih-holding have pThaixi begun unconsciously as a flistress rc?ponse to frustration, but one a child finds that through them he can gain his ends, they readily he-como a habit and aw purposefully used by him. The only way of dealing with such behaWor is to see that the child achieves nothing by It. not even the questionable goal of be ing the center of angry or dis tressed attention. former narrow confines of Wash ington to Jefferson and Third street to Greenwood, plus a block across the track on Fir street (much of which was sparsely set tled with business structures, Into a more compact section with build ings going onto the other side of Washington and Jefferson avenues, reaching down Adams avenue to Second and nearly to Spruce streets, up Depot past Washington and up Fourth nnd Fir to the Washington avenuo Intersections. Many of the blocks formerly con sidered in tho business section only had two or three business build ings but these same areas now are well built up. with more expansion duo in tho near future. ; The general result has been the 1 upbuilding of La Grnnde in a com mercial, industrial and educational way far beyond any other city in this section of tho Northwest. In tho bufines section, besides buildings mentioned above In this article, tho following structures have been erected since 1925: the G. H. Currey building, tho Melville building. Lottos building, Fred Spaeth building, Montgomery Ward & Co. building, 1 C. Smith annex, the Hutchinson building for us as a garage, the Ilohnenkamp ware house on Jefferson, a number of new service stations, the Grande Rondo apartments on Third and Wftnhfnrlnn t ha ttv KiHi 4r.rr .. tho Second street viaduct, the Grande Rondo hospital annex, the ' handsome new Eastern Oregon Light & Power company office building and tho sub-station on Cove avenue and others. In this samo period a large number of fine residence buildings, costing In ag gregate several hundred thousand dollars, were erected throughout the residential sections. Rcndy For Growth The improvement of tho water system nnd tho installation of the sewage disposal plant were two of tho largest . municipal projects In nis period, construction of both supervised by City Manager W. C. ! Crews nnd the commissioners. The J ater system included two deep or- I testa n wells, with an enormous' capacity, a pump house and reser- j oir at tho Second street diaduct; reservoir in Old Town to collect the Inflow from the Beaver creek pipeline, and an nutomatic rser- ! voir depth recording device which 1 was installed this year. Besides this many miles of new main, rang ing from four-inch extensions to the 18-Inch pipe laid down Second street from the Old Town reservoir to the now reservoir, were put In. The sewage disposal plant, which may bo seen to one's left leaving La Grande to the east on tho Old Oregon Trail highway. Is one of the finest In any city In th0 country of comparable size, nnd is capable of handling the needs of a com munity much larger than La Grande. , Many delegations from North western cities have visited Ia Grade, expressly to view the muni cipal systems, nnd In some case, similar systems have been installed as a result. Also tho city b.iilding was re modeled and repaired, and aditlon- al storm sewers were laid on the 1 north side of the track, to, carry I storm water from new macadam streets. During the first part of the last five" years, a considerable amount of graveling of streets on the ifbrth side was done, and throughout the entire period, side wnlk construction has been very active with many miles of ncT walk built In the north side and In Old Town, Connordale and trlbu-1 tary to the Normal school. Little j pavement has been done In recent years, with the exception of an oc casional block or two. However, a j large amount of pavement was laid ! during the period between 1920 and 1925. New diiuvltra '. During this same period church es of the city made marker ad- . vances, with several new buildings being erected, Includling the I- l ' S. Second Wafd chapel, the beau- i tlful new St. Peter's church, the i L. D. S. HecPatlonal hall, th. ' Church of God and the Kirst Pres. byterian church. During the same : period many of the other churches, j already equipped with splendid ; buildings, spent considerably sums In remodeling and renovations. Both exteriors and Interiors were modernised and made more altrac- i live and convenient. j In general, tho entire community showed progress in Muldlng. In ! business, in payrolls, educationally. ' In population, industrially and many oihPr angles, and from pres ent indications, the advancement will continue during future years.
