nut 8el,tr ST. JOHNS REVIEW St. Johns Ideal Place for the 1925 Pair St. Johns Ideal Place for the 1925 Fair VOLUME 17 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1921. NUMBER 19 THE COAIA1UN1TY CLUB The members of the St. Johns Community Club had a jolly ood timu at their semi-monthly meeting Tuesday evening, which was held at the Terminal Cafe teria. Despite the steady down pour of the elements, a coodly crowd turned out to enjoy the occasion. Thomas Autzen, who is an expert in looking after tho transportation facilities, lived up to his reputation, and all who aasemuied at tho bank corner were transported to the Termi nal by auto in admirable style. Manager Murray and his able corps of assistants at the Termi nal Cafeteria, although handi capped by about a 00 longshore men dropping in upon them rath or unexpectedly at five o'clock for dinner, proved their ubilitv. capability and the flexibility of tlioir resources by serving an ap petizing, satisfying and most inviting dinner to the hungry moinoera of the Club and their friends. Tho Cafeteria is a largo building and serves its purpose well, and is most ably managed by Manager Murray, whoso fine treatment of the guests was highly appreciated. After the nbundant meal had been placed where it would do the most good, President Mona ban culled the meeting to order for a short business session, and Secretary Montgomery read the minutes of tho previous meet ing. The matter of tho inc r.'as cd t'olephone rate was discussed to somo extent, and it was de cided to favor tho recall of the Public Utilities Commission. President Monahan took up tho matter of tho big 1925 Fair being located in St. Johns, and told of the wonderful and splen didly adapted site there was hero fur the big event. It was unanimously decided tint a com mittee bu appointed to bring tho merits and advantages of this location impressively and clear ly to tho nttcntion of tho nilo committee, nnd uso all other means at their command in bringing tho big ovont to St. Johns. It was decided to inaugurate a vigorous campaign for a Club membership of ono thousand, and application enrds wero pass en to eacu membor with tho sug gestion that each ono bring in at least one now membor. Deane il. Knowles was made chad man of tho membership committco. John N. Edlcfsen called atten tion to several propositions, the first being that efforts bo exert ed toward hard surfacing of a portion at least of Greeley street tho coming Bummer; that the school board be commended for securing as largo a tract as they did for high school purposes, and that they bo urged not to make tho first unit smaller than win accommodate the presen i . nign school enrollment, and larger if possible: that efforts be DUt forth in thn wnv of no curing hard aurfaco streets lead ing to the new park site. It was decided that these suggestions receive proper attention. Miss Wilma Wagner gave very pleasing reading that was highly enjoyed. I ho meeting was then turned over to Lieut. Crane, chairman of the entertainment committee. and introduced somo stunts that produced much merriment. Tho first was a potato race, with box of potatoes at each end of the lino. John N. Edlef. Ben and Thomas autzen were appointed captains, and they each selected a crow of six la dies and gentlemen. Thomas Autzen's team captured tho pnzo on a very closo margin bomo wonderful sprinting was demonstrated. In a tooth pick and potato race Miss Clara Nel son led tho field by a mile, Oflicor Roberts and P. II. EJIcf. sen staged a boxing bout that was a hummer. Each was blind oidcd and with a rone around tho waist of each and tied to a post bo that they wero about arm's length anart. Tho re suit was surely amusing. Blind man's butt was another stunt that nroduueed a lot of fun. Oflicor Hatt was presented with a prize for bravery in bringing two prominent citizens to tho meeting charged with being ab sent for a number of meetings. After a trial thoy wero fined a couplo of Bimoleons. Supcrin tendent G. A. Ross of tho Ter minal made a few interesting remarks concerning tho termi- nal and freight. Ho said the Dock Commission has 1 GO acres; that thcro wero fivo piers each low root long by 220 feet wide. covering six acres each. Whon i mo meeting adjourned ho con ducted the party through tho big pier and oxplained tho var ious doviccs and where tho var-t ious quantities t)f freight canto from, and other matters of In terest. Mr. Ross ia surely the right man In the right place. and his courtesy and the efforts Your Coal Bill will show n decided drop, if yon put in our coal. We say this localise we know the amount of heat from it far exceeds the amount of waste, ns compared with other coal. It is to your advantage to let us prove this.

Thero is something the mat ter with tho man who doesn' care for the place he lives in who doosn't come back to it with some degree of rapture nnd ro lief. Tho world citizen who boasts that all places aro aliko to him, that any place where he hangs his hat is home, misses ono of the first nnd strongest in centives to decency and duty which is tho desire to win the general esteem and good opinion of tho community in which one dwells. No reward in money compares in value with tho gold en treasure of a good repute. If a man cheats and lies and steals and bears false witness, he may buildup a great fortuno and still bo plagued at night with tho knowledge that thoso about him hold a low opinion of his worth and works. Dr. Elliott. of Harvard, has told us that it is the favorable opinion of a man's homo town that is worth earning and retaining. One of tho neighbors might be wrong: but if wo tako the summation of what many aro saying, we prob ably Bhnll arrivo at a just esti mate. Merely to livo in a place doesn't mako ono a citizen. Your heart will bo whero your work has boon put in to help forward nny good thing that is going. Of course, ono must be true to tho immediate family circlo and look well to tho roof tree and tho door yard of one's own household first of all. But that intimato indoor devotion com- mcndablo ns it is, may become a selfish sentimont that takes no thought for tho measures of pub lic welfaro in whose benefit we all share.

Philadelphia Ledger. A number of localities have been mentioned ns locations for tho big 1925 Fair, but St. Johns s the logicnl locntion. The more one studies the situation the more firmly convinced he must becomo of this patent fact. No world's Fair in tho past had a more aomirnblc location than is afforded on tho Lower Peninsu a. It is true that at present trnnsportntion fac tics are in adequate, but this would be true of nny other location mentioned ns a possible site. But this could readily bo remedied by extension of car lines nnd exten sion of hard surface streets.
