SEES OO
(By Robert Osborn)
Portland, Ore. Dec 22. Well,
well, here it is that "once year
when It is Christmas. The very at
mosphere remind me that aty sub
scription to the Journal depends ap
on an occasional waste ot space and
I make haste to keep my name oa
tbe list. Gee whlzlfc la al
most New Tears, too. Can yon beat
the way Urn flies? The first thing
you know the Ochoco project will b
all inhabited, Prineville will have a
paved street, a fire department, a big
mill and a payroll, but this isn't talk
ing Chrlatmaa. .
How do I know, how doea anyone
know it's the time of year when tin
sel, strings of popcorn, Jolly bella.
gifts and all that, is here? Pshaw 1
a glance at the daily paper will show
you.. Milea and miles of ads tell yoa
what to get for mother and sister
end dad and everybody else. ' Funny
isn't it bow the merchant think up
from a kitchen range to a thumb
tack and label it a "gift" There'
one thing certain, it takec a lot ot
advertising to get the business at
: this season.
Portland shops report
a lot of "looking" but little buying,
., It, is quite a Joy these evenings to
go window shopping. AH of tha
shops aire dressed up in their holiday
best and the goods on display are
' attractive, very, much so when you
find that prlct reductions run from
1 25 to 50 percent All Joy disappear
however,, when you try to shop on
the inside. Such Jams I sever did
see before. I do not see why people
don't rebel against promiecous giv
ing, I mean "swapping" of present
and make it only Christmas for those
who believe in Santa. (Your pock
et book no doubt tells you that it Is
Christmas, also.)
Portland theaters are all dressed
up in holiday garb. The priclpal
movie-houses have attractive stage
sets and midnight shows for Ner
Years are being advertised. There
will probably be more midnight par
ties now that Palmer has stated it 1
not unlawful Ifi have hard cider ln
the house! .
On top of everything else that la
Christmasy, including students home
for the Holidays, cards, packages,
cross shop girls and mall men, you
are, no doubt, being asked to buy
Christmas Seals. Of the latter In
dication ot the season I am the moat
certain, for I have been doing noth
ing for three months but eating,
drinking, dreaming, thinking, miles
and square miles of Christmas Seals,
as director for the sale in Oregon.
In spite of the many drives for
money and in spite of the general fi
nancial situation the sale Is going
mighty fine and indications point to
the largest sale ever, and it so, I may
have a Job after the first of the year
otherwise,,.. ... i .
Following my "Journey's" In east
ern Oregon, this summer, I started
to organize counties for the Seal
sale., i had an interesting Jaunt
1
down the Columbia to 'l Astoria, and
later I hope to have .the time to
write more about the, . t-ip, The
lower Highway is now completed,
making Astoria and the beaches
easily accessible'.'", "After making
nearby counties, my next Jump was
up the Willamette valley and Into
southern Oregon. ' i
. I had the rather doubtful pleasured
of staging over -four hundred miles
into Klamath Falls and Lakeview
and back in the coldest sort of cold -weather.
' Over in Lakeview I ran
onto Harold Charlton again and had
dinner" with him and the sheriff.
They had jus, rounded up some boot
leggers, so naturally the town took
mo for another federal agent. ' No
one offered me a drink during my
stay in town!
