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.
WILBANKS—MERRILL
A pretty wedding was solemnized
in Lenta last Sunday when Miss
Emma Willbanks was united in mar­
riage with Wm. Merrill of Hood River.
The ceremony occurred on July 4th,
1920, at 5 p. m., at the residence of
the bride’s mother, Mrs. T. H. Will­
banks at 6403 90th street, Rev. F. R.
Sibley of the I«enta M. E church of­
ficiating. The bride is well known in
Epworth league work in I^nts, and
the groom is an office man in rail­
road work in Hood River, where the
newly wedded couple will for the
present reside. Mr. and Mrs. Mer­
rill left for Hood River Sunday night.
