EUGENE, O’®- o o o ML LENTS STATION, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1920 Subscription, $1.00 a Year OREGON SCENERY ATTRACTS TOURISTS! The annual hrgira to the mountains und the sea coast Is In progress. No country on earth has mors attractions than the forest sections of Oregon in both the Cascade and Coast ranges. Wherever automobile roads are avail able, thousands of auto parties are going into tile mountain reaches of the grand Cascade region. Brawling river, tumbling cascades, snow-capped mountain peaks, flower carpeted meadows and valleys, deep, almost Inaccessable canyons, and everywhere giant firs and pines form a picture at once attractive and compelling, ('ruck trout streams abound, and sylvan lakes challenge the sportsman und camper to investigate their beau ties at close range. The Oregonian has a choice of many places to'go on un outing. Western Oregon with Its reaches of coast line and winding rivers; the waterfalls und other beauty spots of the western stope of the Cascades; and the central and eastern parts of the state from sky-line to the sagebrush plains—all appeal to tho home as well as to the eastern tourist. During July and August, thousands from outside state (Kiinta will be out enjoying the above attractions, and to the thousand from outside state points will be a Ided the long distance louring cars from al most every state in the union. In fact, Oregon and its wonderful scenery is being advertised everywhere, and those who come to view our scenic and other attractions, are pretty sure to repeat the trip at intervals dur ing a lifetime. LENTS PLAYGROUND DIREC TOR WAS IN THE WAR ZONE Miss Aline Norrn, is the woman di rector at the l«e>nUs playground this season. Miss Noren is a graduate of Washington High school, and also a graduate of the Oregon University. She taught last winter in Washington High, und has ever taken a strong in terest in school athletics, wrich no doubt explains her present position. “In order to be successful in this work,” said Mias Noren to a Herald reporter one day this week, “one must first have a natural liking for the little folks, who are later to become the men and women of the land, and here, we hope to aid in laying the foundation for their future healthful ness. The study of children is inter esting to me, and one soon learns to make pretty good guesses as to the vocations the little ones may later follow in life. As children, they have not yet I -amed to act a part, and the character of the little ones shows in their faces, manners and actions. Careful home training is always ap parent, and vice versa. These park playgrounds afford good, healthful recreation, and lend to make children happy and contented. A swimming pool would be a fine thing for the park playground, and in time it will come.” Miss. Noren spent eight months in France during the late war with Ger many, it nd was engaged in canteen and recreational work, including en tertainments, shows, etc., fro the American soldiers. Most of the time was spent at Benaneon, France, Miss Noren returning home last Septem ber. Mr. K uhsc II Myers is filling the position of male instructor, and has had experience in this line of work. The instructors have arranged for track meets at the park for which prizes will be awarded for the great est uthletic skill shown by the boys and girls. The boys and girls will be divided into classes under and over 12 years*of ago. Last Friday, Mr. Fowler, who is in the park employ, took a party of 16 Lenta boys and two from Mt. Scott on a hike to Steiger’s Pool, on Johnson creek, one and a half miles from Lepta eastward.
