The Theatre Talks Back
I was not built merely of marble, mortar and steel;
But born with a heart, soul and purpose. like yourself:
I was the creation of a mentality on fire;
lhe product of a dreamer, with whom to dream was to do:
,i was a reality lovea into lite. .
i oner comiort to tne oppressed ana relaxation to tne tired
worker.
I make thousands of shut-ins, orphans, the blind and other
' . unfortunates from institutions happier each year.
I am a school of education and my scholarship is open to all.
1 give oenelit performances to needy chanties.
I bring you the latest news events from around the globe;
And I bring the great plays, books and stage personalities
to the cross-roads.
By careful or indifferent treatment, I make or unmake
men and corporations, both large and small.
I respond to a caress like any mother with so large a
family.- - ....... .
I express the personality of my manager, from the most
humble to the "genius," so-called.
I radiate his enthusiasm and sincerity. ' '
I am his work shop.
He can ascend to the highest pinnacle of presentation and
! I ani ready to transpose his every thoucht.
Or if lje is lacking in good taste or is of slovenly habits
and character, 1 reflect that also.
Those who encourage me to do my best, prosper in good
times ana Dad.
In war time, I contribute to the morale of nations and sell
more Liberty bonds than any other single agency.
I have a coda of honor:
To receive you as would a hostess at home; o make you
comfortable, to refresh you, and to throw about you a
mantle of protection while you are a guest in my house.
Courtesy must ever be my creed; . ' .
Hospitality my religion.
Mindful that Youth needs the association of elders to leam
wisdom, and Age needs the association of Youth to stay
young in heart, I cater to all ages, regardless of their
stage or station.
I must constantly strive to inspire children to ambition of
accomplishment and men and women to do a better
. day's work;
And, to make life sweeter, fuller and richer for ail who
pass my way.
I am proud of my profession.
Aly desire, my aim. my ambition is to rightfully sav:
I am an institution ; .
a credit to my community.
If I fail in the above, please ask for the manager.

A PLACE TO PICINC ,,.,,
From the news columns of the Observer the last few days,
it would appear that the "picnicking season" is under way in
flill force. There was the grange picnic, the Eagles picnic,
the Red & White Co. picnic, and many, many others during
the last wqek. Everyone had a larrupin' good time, whether
they swam, or played hoi-seshoes, or raced, or played ball,
or just loafed and ate.
That's one of the beauties of living in La Grande you're
v ithin easy driving distance of any number of splendid
picnic spots. You can just about take your pick, as a matter
Of fact, .although sometime you have to get there early in
the day to get the site you seek. But there are all kinds of
places a likeside spot, a broad, grassy space near the river,
n clear spring in the pines, or what have you.
. Anci, when you have no desire to go any great distance,
Kiverside park just outside of the city limits offers splendid
picnicking opportunities.

Wiley Post, flyinp over Siberia today, is ouL to do the job
that Jimmy Maltern attempted, and which nearly cost Jimmy

other airman skimming: over bleak mountains and bleaker
plains in an isolate section of the world, taking the bit in
his mouth in an effort to do something no other rmin ever
accomplished alone.
The world wished Mattern success in his venture, and
now we extend the same wishes, to Post. And if he accom
plishes a solo 'round-the-world flight, what will man's next
attempt be?
It would seem that about the only things left to be con
quered then will be the moon and stars, and some attempts
are underway for that goid too.
Sports season to some extent is going into a vacation lo

connection with his suit for divorce: "I object to being 'Ir.

from my husband
I used to think that "Toasting"
was just an advertising phrase.
Butonedaymyhusbandexplained
to me what "Toasting" is and
what it does. Where he learned
it all, I don't know, hut I began
to understand the difference in
cigarettes. Now I find myself en
joying Luckies'. mildness and
fine taste with a new respect. But
even more since I am a woman
quite sensitive to personal dain
tiness and since my cigarette
and my lips are so intimately
related, I especially appreciate the
comforting purity of "Toasting".
Naturally, with me it's always
"Luckies Please!"
