THE COMMUNITY CLUB
Editor Review: Thinking,
perhaps, as the chairman of the
St. Johns Community Club that
1 ought to say n few words to
the citizens of tho'lower Penin
sula in regard to the Club and
what it is doing, what it stands
for and why every man and wo
man should belong to it. It
stands for God and home and the
Peninsula. For God. the Crea
tor and Supreme Ruler of the
universe, he who controls the
destiny of nntionB, will help us
if we only trust in Him; for
home because it is the birth
place and foundation of all that
goes to make this wonderful
country of ours; for the Penin.
stila because we think it is the
granneat and most beautifully
located landscape on earth the
grandest because it has all the
formations thntrinaitrnincrnrriata
could wish for to beautify and
make what no doubt God design
ed it for, tho Garden Spot of the
Pacific coast; beautiful because
located as it is between tho two
great rivers of tho Northwest,
tho majestic Columbia and tho
peaceful and queenly Willamette,
with its high promitories, its
lakes and lagoonB oh, it must
be seen to be appreciated.
The wonderful possibilities of
this Peninsula is beyond the con
ception of man, and we know
when the 1925 Fair Committee,
appointed by the chair, can get'

The Community Chest is more
than half full, and prospects are
that tho full quota of $850,000
will bo raised, although it may
rcciuiro continued untiring ef
forts. Many who would liko to
give in a substantial manner arc
unable to, and some others who
can are not so willing. A year
ago tho chest could probably be
filled with half tho present ef
fort, but conditions aro not so
flourishing now as then. How
ever, each ono should give as
much as possible.

Comparing tho geographical
location of Portland with that
of New York wo can readily sen
that the Peninsula is to Portland
what Manhattan is to New York.
Manhattan has been called the
"Treasury" of the world, nnd
it is at this timo lcadintr the
world as a shipping point. Man
hattan is the peninsula of New
York. Let us make tho Penin
sula tho samo to Portland as
Manhattan is to New York, and
Portland tho samo to tho Pacific
as Now York is to tho Atlantic.
Economists point out that the
Pacific Coast will bo of greater
importance than the Atlantic,
inasmuch as tho developments
on tho Pacific aro just commenc
ing. There are thousands of
miles of fertile country ready to,
be tapped. Russia is the groat
base of raw material supply for
the Pacific family to traders;
Alaska has merely been touched
for its wealth. So American
trade is increasing rapidly and
China, tho sleeping giant of the
Orient, will supply tho world
with materials for tho tcxtilo
industries for many years to
come. Portland has had its
struggle for marino supremacy
on the Pacific, and its location
as a fresh water harbor, and tho
advantages of n fresh water
harbor, together with other
features, will forovormako it tho
logical world's trading point of
tho Pacific. With ovcry ship
that cntere tho majestic Colum
bia, with overy ton of freight
unloaded or loaded onto tho
ocean carriers, Portland is being
maao Known to tho world as hav-
intr one of tho host froah wntcr
harbors, as having facilities for
handling any kind of cargo that
may bo brought forth. Thoro
aro sovcral ra roads enterintr
Portland from tho richest nnri-
cultural country of the world.
bringing in tho produco from at
least five states to be shipped to
all parts of the world. We be
lieve that the Pacific Coast has
tho future that the economists
promise; we helieve that the Pa
cific Ocean trade is gaining in
its importance to the world's
trade; wobeliovo that possibili
ties of irrigation of arid lands on
the slopes of the Rockies will in
crease wealth and shipping into
tho Pacific waters; wo believo
that coast cities are gaining and
will gain in population to a
greater extent in tho next ten
years than ever before; we be
liovo that Portland, through its
geographical location ns well as
its natural advantages for a
world's port, will grow and
prosper in the next ten years.
Wo know tho west side of
Portland has reached the heighth
of development. ( Its scope of de
velopment is limited by geo
graphical obstacles, and no doubt
will for somo timo in the future
represent the retail center of
Portland. There are GOO factories
operating in Portland; over 400
of these aro located on the Pen
insula. This proves conclusive
ly that tho Peninsula Bcction of
Portland, liko Manhattan, New
York, will be tho industrial nnd
financial center. Therefore,
knowing tho PoninBiilal and the
possibilities of tho future, let us
put forth every effort to make it
tho largest and best industrial
conter nnd best shipping point
on the Pacific Const. Lot us get
a bridge on the Jower end of the
Peninsula ut once, so wo will be
nearer tho rctnil center of Port
land. Let us get together and
Brovo to Mr. Meier and Fair
oard that the lower Pcninsulu
is tho ideal placo for tho 1925
Fair. Let overybody got buBy
and boost for more industries to
locate on tho Peninsula. Lot us
get together and mnko our end
of town more beautiful; improve
and clean up tho streets and
keep them that way, so when the
visitors go home they will be
able to say that the Peninsula is
tho Best Part of Portland.
Are you a Booster? If not, get
busy nnd join and help us in our
endeavors. We meet overy Wed
nesday evening nt the Moose
Hall, St. JohnB, and earnestly
urge that everybody who is in
terested in tho future welfnro
of the Peninsula come. Respect
fully, The Fraternal Boosters of
Portland. '

Meets This, Friday, Evening
Climb a Tree on High
We sit around nt eventide.
and tranquilly we lie, nnd tell of
how our cars can climb stupen
dous hills on high. We used to
be a truthful lot before the auto
came; wo used to ween and wist
and wot that falsehood was a
shame. And when from fishing
trips returned wo stretched the
truth n yard, our conscience liko
a bonfire burned, and scorched
us pretty hard. But that was in
u timo gone by, a time that's
vague, remote; and now wo sit
around and lie. each of his old
tin boat And when wo to our
beds rcpnir, some alto snores to
springdoes Conscience, while
wo'ro lying there, make night a
Bolcnin thing? Docs alio point
out that falsehood's wrong? Slto
trios that stunt no more; we've
lied so much, we've lied so long,
that Conscience is n bore. Our
old tin cars are red with rust,
they're long since out of style,
nnd something's always euro to
buBt before they go a mile.
Wo'rc always tinkering with
tools, o'er motors broken down,
and hiring farmors with their
mules, to haul us back to town.
Rut when wo smoke our evening
pipes the fiction graft prevails,
nnd Ananias has the gripes if
ho can henr our tales. And so
we sit besido tho sen, and tran
quilly wo ho of how our nutos
climbed a treo and did the trick
on high. Walt Mason.
