A well-rounded education gives glimpses into all problems we u. cume up against in life. I t t live that a woman should have a good education with an aim toward something that she is es pecially adapted for. This qualifi cation would be of value if some thing should happen to her hus band and she would have to care for t he children herself. She would then have the education and enough experience to go out and get hersell a well-paying job. As I see it. I should give com fort and confidence to my hus band, and to raise my children to be good citizens. They should have the same chance at a goixi education that I had. They should be given a good home life and lots of love. Many children lack enough home life, and thus end up in a reformatory. My children should be taught to appreciate the country that they live in. They should learn the meaning of democracy and the ideas of America. Also, that America stands for freedom. How PAGE FlVt many people would love to have all the freedoms today I My children, who will be the Americans oi tomorrow, should be raised to have no race dis crimination. This is one thing that may start w’ars. The next war would be, most likely, the last one. It would end all wars. They should be strong in body, have high ideals, and strength in their own convictions. I believe, therefore, that my part in America’s future, is to try to do all these things, and to laise my family in the American way, for these things are the things that America stands for. These make her the light an i strength of the world. If everyone would do these things, America would become an even better place' in which to live, through the betterment of the human race that makes up the heart of her.

(Editor's Note: This essay, re cently adjudged first in the V. F W. Essay contest, nun written by Betti Goldizen, on the topic, “My Part in America's Future). My part in America’s future would be, in my estimation, to be ready for whatever may come, without surprise or unreadiness for whatever does come. Who knows what the future may bring? Communism? Socialized medicine? The Atomic Bomb? As I know very little of these or of what the future may bring, I believe that I should prepare myself to the best of my ability.

Real LEONARD Eestate Service Boi ¿11 South end of town Brookings, Oregon PORTT,A ND -The annual inCux of summer tourists will pour about $92,000,000 into Oregon cash registers this year, a survey of the latest seasonal trends by the Interna tional Geneva Association, world-wide hotel employees or- ganization, discloses. The $92,000,000 forecast would place the 1919 tourist- trade dollar volume at about the same level as a year ago, V. A. McNeil, manager of the Portland Chamber of Commerce tourist center, said. In 1947, vacation ists spent $107,000,000 in the state. Hotel and food prices are largely unchanged in Oregon this year, Frank A. Ludwig, I.G.A. executive said. However, visitors will find some lower prices for quality liquors in the state, according to L. Lee Krost, State Stores division manager for the Gibson Distilling Com pany, who said his concern’s Gibson’s Selected 8 whiskey is now selling for $3.60 per four- fifths quart compared with $3.85 formerly. Hotels may lower prices if ac commodations are not entirely filled, McNeil predicted. This year tourists will tend to spend more carefully, he said, but at lue same time Oi egun business I is certain to be cushioned by the state’s 50 per cent increase in population since 1940 and the large number of friends and relatives of Oregonians who will be visiting here. • R. S. Kidder, tourist manager for the Oregon State Motor as sociation, estimates 10 to 15 per cent more tourists will travel in the Beaver State in 1949 but that each tourist will spend less on his vacation trip. Transportation costs in the state will be the same as last year, except for a one-cent-per-gallon increase in gasoline taxes and reduced fares for “coach service” on Northwest Airlines planes. Luggage and sporting goods prices are 20 per cent lower in terms of improved quality, Charles Snell, manager of Meier and Franks department store, reported..
