In. a recent issue of the Oregon Voter is "a report of the speech of -Fred I. Kent at ;a meeting of the Portland City Club,' lie made the startling statement that there are now ;in the; United States 1,500,000 parasitic idlers who-are en joying lUnprecedented prosperity. ' ; He was referring not to the idle rich but to hoboes who: 'float around from place to place, enjoying the 'freedom of ! an irresponsible life at the expense of tender-hearted citi zens who freely contribute 'their dimes -and quarters an4 .compliment themselves upon 'their generosity. '4 i The' iYoter goes on.- to.say: "An experienced investigator, ' Who has spent months on the road and' in the jungles, advises ' us that Kent is right. . He reports that the hobo population .'is Jiving on the fat of the land and is recruiting 'heavily jfrom the ranks of the unemployed. The hobo, lives without' jwork. The towns feed him and move him onwards. In the ; cities he panhandles on the streets and makes from '$3 to' :$10 per hour." ... .. ,; i Right here 'in La Grande we can confirm these facts with-1 : out the service ' of an ..experienced investigator. Everyone ; admits ' that there are several' hundred mien in the county i who would like. to' find jobs, men who would be glad to work - hard for a .living if they .only had the chance.. Butt we also must admit that there ari many who never did a day's work in their lives, and never intend to: thev are takinn- advantneo of the present unemployment situation.and are greedily seek ..Jng charity which should go to those who really deserve it. The Medford Mall Tribune believes there are more of these parasites than most people suppose, and says: "The situation is clearly illustrated by the story of the hard-working wife who .said she welcomed the depression, for 'before the depres sion her husband was only a bum. But now, said she proud ly, he is a, worthy member of the deserving unemployed!" - In(-La Grande hardly a day passes without similar illustrai : lions of this unhealthy condition. Strong, healthy men fro-! quently come to the office of the county nurse with pleas foi' groceries and clothing for their families; but when told they may'.earn the needed supplies by splitting wood, they find all kinds of silly execuses; or brazenly refuse to work for what they want. Just the other day a local housewife took pity on a fairlyi well 'dressed young man who knocked nt the 'back door and, in a voice which indicated that he had a bad cold, explained that..he had slept on the ground for several lights and wanted money to buy food and lodging. The woman gave him ,a duurter. A short time later she went down town and happened to see the same young man buy a ticket and go into the theatre. . The moral is evident. Charily should be placed entirely in the hands of organized relief agencies which have means of distinguishing the worthy unemployed from the para sites. When you feel a spell of generosity coming over you, contribute to county relief work, but close your purse to panhandlers. Ye are my friends, if ye do what, ever 1 command you. John 15:14, ' It is a luminous and a moving thing, to think of the Church of Ood as a river, and filling the ofltces of a river-In-the life of mankind quick enlng.'fertlllzlng, beautifying, enrich lng. - We are too apt to think of (he Church of Ood as an Institution, and an Institution Is literally something that stands, whereas the Church Is a process, something thot movce, . , There is a river the life -of God -In- the sou! of -man canalized In a eoclety of men .which has -made glad the life of -man, and you never .oan-toll -what -strange -treasures -may not be borne on Its voters. rruituasur uoyce nus saio mat it Is a part of the Christian experience that the believer has an ideal Church, beloved community, In his heart. an Ideal that Is forever crying out to him, "Create." - . Then, men and women, as tho Lord llveth, let us bend ourselves to this business of creation. . 'And that Imnlles. first of all. that wo set a term to criticism, to com. plaint. I have done my share of It and so have you. But, after all. It Is a moan and low 'business, like man criticizing his mother. .... And the place for us to begin Is in the Church. It was the Insight of genius that led the early Quakers to call themselves a Society of Friends; trial la what the Church should.be, and, alas, so little la, and Its busi ness 'is to mako the whole round earth a society of friends.

Soap wrapped In rod. white nnd blue wrapKJis will bo sold through out tho country, Taylor uld. and Tour of the ton conu oharod for each bar will be turned Into tho Ivmoomt Ir treasury. I , i eraph oho record after another. Thouuands who, have been watching the .astounding . Olympic spectacle from tho outset now mingle laughter with their cheers to greet the an nouncer's old refrain: "Creating a new Olympic and world record." Anyone Who had fortitude to keep track of it all can emerge with the statistical gem that 46 record performances have been announced In 17 track and field events for men and women. The reapomw yesterday could have beon heard In four different languages u Luigl Beccall won tho classic Olympic 1600 meters in tho Olympic Eeconl time of 3:16.3, for Italy's flmt Olympic foot-racing victory of al! time: as Mnttl Jarvlncn led the first successful Finnish thrust with an Olympic record Javoltn throw of 238 feet. -7 Inches ; as dhuhel Nambu of Japan, the world record brood Jump er, added the hop, step and Jump championship and world crown to his oredit. with a mark of 61 feet, 7 in ches; and, finely, as America's own Mimrea oaoc Diunitson scamijcrra w her second world record victory, in the 80-meter hurdles, in 11.7 seconds. Finland's first championship, how- evcr.

First and bitterest blow of all wao tho ban lshment or Poavo Nurml, Uio king of her runners, on the very eve of tho names. dcatroylng Finland s Desi. chances to win tho 10.000 mctom and marathon. Then came the youthful Iho-Ho11o's defeat Sunday by the Pol. lNh star, Jan Kusoclnskl, In the 10,000. Yeatorday the 1500 meter crown pass- on lor tne first time to an iwuiau whllo Flnland'u dorondlng champion. Hurry ljarva, finished In tho ruck along with his two compatriot, Pur Jo and Luomanon. With Nurml and Willie Hltola no longer there to carry on, Finland's 5000 meter hopes rested squarely upon young behtlnen. -best of the country's newoomers and a world record-breaker nt tho distance. Tho man they feared most for tho first time, was an Am erican. Halph Hill, of Oregon, still holder or tho national outdoor ml'.o record, Hill haa now developed sen- nationally at tho longor distance. 1U han a real "kirk and there is sun tho bright picture of how ho rai away from Lohtlnen In the MUX) meter trials Tuesday, -oven though nothing but qualifying places wore nt Yot to bo run. of course, are tho tlOOO-moter steeplechto and mnra thon, but In those events, too. tho opposition lr the Finns Is stronger than ovoi noftutagol no rtrmhthy the growing conviction that the cloak or Finnish invincibility baa been re moved. - Meanwhile tho American had their own private war to settle, between Eastman and Carr, each with a weath er eye out meanwhllo for the ollui englishman. Lieutenant Godfrey Lio nel Rampllng, built very much along nit, lines oi nie spina ly-ieggea scotch man, Eric Llddell. who won tho uiympic 4O0 -meter championship in 1024 whllo the batf-olDcs skirled. Rampllng didn't -look so Impressive In the trials yesterday, even under wraps,, and there has been nothing yet to prove he can touch the record-smashing performances of Carr ana Eastman. Despite Babe Dldrlkson'a world rec ord victory over her American rival, Evelyn Hall, In the 80 meter hurdles, the fifth day of the Olymnlc track and field championships was a , big let-down for the United States forces, which had completely dominated the previous day's program. In the men's team battle. America nicked no onlv eight points and lost one, on the de cision putting Finlay, of England, ahead of Keller. U. S. A., in the 110 meter high hurdles. 'ino revised total for tho United States, for 16 men's events in five days, with 168 point. Finland moved into second olace with 36. to Great Britain's 34, and Japan advanced to fourth position- with 38, followed by uauaan ana ireiana, w eacn. in the women s division, mean while, the American team score, in creased by 18 points In the hurdles, leaped to 51 'i, as compared with Germany's total of 15'vi in second place. summaries: Noto: Figures in brackets denote ui-Jtonce between finishers.
