SIXTEENTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
IT ISN’T YOUR TOWN, IT’S YOU CELEBRATED AT ALVA SMITH HOME
If you want to live in the kind of a town
Like the kind o f a town you like,
You needn’ t slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You’ ll only find what you left behind,
For there’s nothing thats really new,
It’s a knock at yourself when you knock your
town.
It isn't your town it’s you!
Heal towns are not made by men afraid
Ivcst somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody shirks
You can raise a town from the dead;
And if while you make your personal stake,
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your neighbor will be what you want to see,
It isn’t your town -it’s YOU!

OREGON SONS AND DAUGHTERS
OF PIONEERS TO MEET SATURDAY I
While there has not been a great
deal said during the past few day con-
cernidg the big picnic to be given at
Seluh Springs on Saturday, July 17th,
says the Silverton Appeal, pff parations
have been steadily in progress and now
the greater part o f the details have all
been arranged
Those who have the
matter in charge inform us that suffi­
cient material has already been procur­
ed to guarantee a very successful day.
At least three brass bands, one o f
which will be from Stayton, will be on
band to furnish plenty o f music for the
day, and other features equally as in­
teresting is booked upon the program.
There seems to be a slight misunder­
standing upon the part o f some as to
who is entitled to attend this picnic.
The question has been asked, is it for
pioneers and their sons and daughters
alone. The answer is easy; everybody
is cordially invited.
The organization
o f the association o f the sons a n d
daughters o f Oregon pioneers w a s
formed merely that ample entertain­
ment might be assured. They are to
do the work and the public is to re­
ceive the benefit, and they are ail anx­
ious to see a large crowd present. It
is expected that a vast number o f
those who are eligible and have not yet
identified themselves with the associa­
tion will be present at this time and
avail themselves o f the opportunity o f
enrolling.
At the present time we are unable to
give any of the details o f the program,
but can assure all who go of being well
entertained.
