MRS. J. E. ROSE, Rt. 1, Troutdale, recently
announced the engagement of her daughter,
Peggy Marleen, to William F. Schilling, son of
Mr. and Mrs. V. F. Schilling, Gresham. The
couple plans to be m arried in January. Miss
Rose is a student at Corbett high school. Her
fiance attended Sandy high school and is employ
ed by Moore Dry Kiln.
Treasured memories and fam ily sentiment that Christmas
recreates every year »s one of life's greatest fOys. In the midst
of this joy, we near the usual complomt that Christmas is over-
commercialized W e hear the complaint that Christ has been
taken out cf Christmas It is sodly true some people do ignore
Him os they celebrate His birthday. These complaints seem to
get nowhere, or not very for. The reoson is clear It sums up
to PERSONAL acceptance or rejection of the meaning ond pur
pose of Christmas. This verse copied from o Christmas cord,
deals with this thought rather well.
M oy the glitter of the season
N ot obscure the holy reoson
For this happy celebration . . .
They come in haste to find the King —
Is your rush another thing?
He e«tends this invitation . . .
Come — ond find the Prince of Peoce
le t the needless turmoil cease,
Find for life a dedication.
W ith these borrowed words, we hope that those of you
who reod this, may hove the everlasting ,oy of Christmas in
your heart always

Hood-Land Reporter I
You guessed it, I am still
not ready for Christmas. We
got the tree up, and it snowed,
beautifully, and all that, but
somehow I just don’t seem to
catch up, Fte on these people
Who are all ready, and have been
since
before
Thanksgiving.
Don’t see how they can be full
of Christmas spirit when they
don’t have to rush around and
get puninieled by all the people.
But I will make it.
Gayle St-alf, my m ostcharm -
lng niece, eagerly waiting the
homecoming of her husband,
Don. He is going to be here som e
time this month, but, if you know
the service, they aren’t telling
any definite date. She doesn’t
know if it will be before C hrist
mas or after. So to be on the
safé side she purchased an a r
tificial tree. She figures
the
needles, at lea st, won’t have all
fallen off. And they can have
Christmas when Don arrives.
Then the first of the year they
take off for Germany, where
Don will be stationed forayear.
Furniture, car and all will go.
Gayle Is so excited, and so
is everyone for her.
I know there must be a lot
of news going on around this
mountain, and as long as I am
the only one writing from up
here, I would certainly appre
ciate it if people would call
me when they have some news.
No bit of news is too sm all,
and I just can’t cover the whole
place. So give me a buzz, if
you have any news. ind I will
be most happy to see it gets
into the paper.
We wish to welcome some
more newcomers to the com
munity. The Hood-Land C hris
tian church has a new m inister,
Mr. Clyde Pratt. Mr. Pratt,
his wife and infant daughter,
will occupy the residence on
the church property. They hope
to have special music each
Sunday and hope anyone who
can sing or play an Instru
ment will Join them. Now Is
certainly the time of the year
to make a new m inister most
welcom e. Drop In and visit.
Lorraine Staggs in the h os
pital and certainly hope she Is
doing OK, and is home when
you read this. This Is no time
of the year to be away from
home.
As usual I wish to take this
time and sjxice to wish all the
wonderful people on the moun
tain A Wonderful Holiday Sea
son! This is my sneaky way
of getting out of sending C hrist
mas cards locally. Always think
my list will grow sm aller each
year, and each year I meet that
many more wonderful folk, and
so the list grows and grows,
and sooooo, to save that nickel.
I cheat this way. N ever-the-
le s s , the greeting Is Just as
sin cere. May everyone’s next
year be a healthy and happy
one.

O'Brien
the beautiful and meaningful
spirit of the present holiday
season, and the forthcoming
New Year of 1968 viewed with
hope and faith In (he gtxxl in
mankind, do hereby make the
following Christmas declara
tions:
Whereas, at least 40 hours
a week I live the role of an
executive secretary to Frank
E. Day of Ketter, Day, Wall
6 Bricker, attorneys In Port
land - - a Job with p ressures,
responsibilities, challenges aid
much personal satisfaction; and
Whereas, each day. 1 spend
at least 1 1/2 hours on the
Oregon highways commuting to
and from work ( 30 m iles each
way) in my Ford Fatrlane V8-
satd car having taken me ov«r
20,000 m ilee since I got my
driver’s license on Friday, the
l'th , of January, 1967; and
Whereas, each Monday night
( with few exceptions) 1 am up
late meeting the deadline for my
weekly
newspai*r
column
“ Making the SUndy Scene” for
the Skindy Post - Including phone
ca lls to obtain information In
relation thereto; and
Whereas, in October of 1967
I became a member of “ Hap
piness is Friday” - a Portland
club with over 600 m embers,
all single people ages 21 to 35,
who gather each Friday night
( and som etim es more often)
for dances, talk, and various
social activities Including group
trips, said events drawing 300
or 400 members a night; and
Whereas, my evening hours
are filled with people dropping
in to talk, to ask assistance,
but mostly Just because they
need a listener; and through said
evening hours, many lives have
crossed my own life’s pattern
and I have experienced much,
seen much, and gained more
unierstandlng of life around me,
--be it a visit to another’s home,
a visit to a county jail, or even
Just a visit to another’s home,
Just a visit within tny apart
ment, and having been enriched
by each individual who has
turned to me for help, I only
trust that their lives, too, have
gained a little from coming
across the path of mine; and
Wheras, for some completely
unknown reason, I find that I
must take some time for a few
snatches of sleep and bits of
food in Intervals between the
afor mentioned activities; and
Whereas, I have found that
24 hours is not enough time In
a day to do the things I want
to do, like writing poetry, draw
ing portraits with pastel chalks,
reading more books, writing
letters and visiting friends;
Now, therefore, 1 express
herein the following personal
wishes this holiday season:
I wish you, for this Christ
mas and forever after, Joy,
Happy Laughter, Good Tim es,
Genuine Friends, and an abun
dance of Happiness, su ccess and
