LOCAL TALENT.
Last Tuesday evening a Chautau
qua was given under the auspices of
the Parent-Teacher Association at n
local theater. All of the entertain
ment was by simon-pure local tal
ent. The house was filled to ca
pacity, with the "standing room on
ly" sign out shortly after the doors
opened. And the whole perform
ance, from the initial number by
the Alfalfa Song Birds, to the fi
nale, was a success.
Now Vale is what is know to tho
blase city slicker as a small town,
so that when one stops and figures
that to produce a cast of seventy
people, all of whom display the tal
ent they did at the Chautauqua per
formance the other night, there must
be considerable .real ability slong
that line right here in our own home
community.
This same result will be found in
almost any branch of endeavor one
can mention. We have, among our
own neighbors, capable men and
women who have the energy, talent,
and skill that is equal and even
surpasses that of many of those
from the outside larger centers, who
have made a name, perhaps, known
to more throughout the country.
So let us get behind our home
town people, for they are our friends
and if we patronize their enter
prises, rather than belittle their
efforts, we will soon have a larg
er and stronger community peopled
with better and broader citizens.
THE TOURIST PARK.
Winter has given away to spring
and the( roads are opening up all
over the country so that the tour
ist will soon begin to travel thru
Vale again. At present the auto
camp ground reserved for those
who care to make their own lodg
ing during their stay here, is more
or less overgrown with weeds, the
water is disconnected and in gen
eral Its appearance cannot be cal
culated to leave the impression one
would wish with those compelled to
use it.
There has been talk of install
ing modern conviences in the park,
such as electric plates, housing fa
cilities, etc., and then making an
admission charge sufficient to cov
er their upkeep. Others have sug
gested merely cleaning up the park,
connecting the water, and making
no charge at all for its use, and
some advocate variations between
the two. ,
As to which method should be
adopted is a question for the City
Council, after duly considering all
of the proposed plans, taking in the
matter of finance, advertising, trade,
vagrancy, sanitation and the other
problems arising from tho operation
of a municipal camp ground. But
some plan should be adopted, and ar
rangements made to carry it into
effect in the vedy near future, or
Vale will not be ready to handle the
tourist .when he does arrive.
If Vole has no money to put in the
most modern of parks, then such
conveniences are , of course out of
the question, and one must be sat
isfied with the simpler plan that of
merely cleaning up the place and
connecting the city water. This can
be done by volunteer help if neces
sary, setting a day aside and invit
ing the citizens to gathes there with
necessary rake, hoe, o mattock,
and in a few hours the thing will
be completed and ready for the early
arrivals.
If Vale has the necessary funds,
and fcthe Counci thinks it advisable
then plans should be immediately
made for for the installation of such
improvements as are needed, a price
determined for the admission charge,
and some one put in to oversee its
collection.
Whatever is to be done, should be
determined soon, so that Vale will
be ready for the tourist" upon his ar
rival this year.

this anti-Catholic backing. But
there are too many people in East

a man's religion, believing it to be
his own business, for the anti-Sin-

popularity it is doubtful whether

Ku Klux Fight Sinnott
Anti-Catholic feeling is behind the
opposition to the re-ebjetion of Con
gressman N. J. Sinnott in tho Sec
ond Congressional District, the East
ern district. As a congressman
Sinnott has made rood in a mannei
that is peculiarly satisfactory to
his constituents, and besides that, he
has attained a standing in Congress
that has caused him to be discussed
extensively as of cabinet caliber.
The only criticism against Sinnott is
that he is, or is supposed to be, a
Catholic. So the Ku Klux Klnn
and all the old-time anti-Catholic
organizers are busy. James H.

Ethel Long Newman Writes of
Life in Armenia, Where She
Manages Great Orphanage.
Some vivid pictures of life In Rus
sian Armenia, where gaunt famine
stalks In the wake of devastating war,
are given by Mrs. Samuel Newman,
formerly Miss Ethel Long, graduate
of Oregon Agricultural College, class
of 1920, In letters to friends In Oregon.
Mrs. Newman and her husband, the
latter a graduate of the Idaho Agri
cultural College, were married In Port
land last spring, and pon after left
for Armenia to join the staff of Near
East Relief workers In charge of Ivm

where an extensive agricultural recon

by the Near Efiat Relief organisation.

When the Newmans arrived t Jsjehv ; (g)

la this lot last spring, but because Of (g)
malnutrition and sickness, 600 of them
died during tho summer, so the Soviet bC
officials had only 400 left to turn over O
to us. Enough have been brought
down from tho over-crowded orphan-

Mrs. Newman, "but we are working
