PLAN
TO
HONOR t ossi III I l<i\ DAY
IT IS TIME TO GET BUSY
A little more than thirty days ago the Herald suggested
the serious consideration of a Community Club in this
locality; that other stations along the line in various parts of
the city of Portland have taken this step and are getting
RESULTS; why not Lents and the large district tributary
thereto? We will never secure the necessary improvements
to which this district is entitled until we awaken from our
Ripvanwinklian lethargy and ORGANIZE an a force of tax­
payers and voters and demand that to which we are entitled.
These demands must be accompanied with the necesaary
vim and vigor in order to win. Other localities in Portland,
more particularly situate near and adjoining residences of
some of “the powers that be," are getting everything de­
sired and asked for. Either, this community must continue
a« one of the sadly neglected suburbs of the city, or GET
BUSY. A live Community Club will solve the problem.
The columns of the Herald are at the command of this
community to furnish any and all publicity desired to further
this effort of vital necessity.
A LETTER OF APPRECIATION
Since the above was put in type the following letter has
been received by mail from Mr. C. S. Cable of the Cable
Realty Co., 5829 72nd St., which inspires the Herald pub­
lisher to further effort to awaken this community to the
condition of affairs and the need of a Community Club.
