"My Part In
America's Future”
The World’s Best Climate
1 > get *he best education possible.
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.

office after schools since late last
August, and stands third in her
senior class scholastic standings.
She expects to attend Oregon U.
next fall).
(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.
That would to comfort, guide, and
to raise my children to be good'
citizens.
Most important would be to try

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..
