Newspaper Page TextST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 18 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1922. NUMBER 12 H,,w'H-fo.Jf,, The Community Chest With but few days remaining be fore the grand salute signifying tlte opening of general operations for the Couinmnty chest it is well for all to give serine thought to this worthy uud mammoth effort, spon sored and labored in by Portland's thousands of public spirited and charitably inclined citizens. Kacli year our city lias borne its burdens of contributions uncomplainingly, giving generously and treating per haps lightly the disposition made of the funds so collected. Drives, tags and various systems of accumulat ing charity money have been ciowdcd into the mouths until many worthy causes have become the object of censure instead of sympathy. with the ever increasing nccu and funds inadequate to meet the situation the matter at last lias at- traded the attention of persons who have made a deep study ot tins se rious problem confronting the pub lic, and by degrees plans have been formulated until last year Portland put on its first grand attempt to create a community fund stttlicicnt in every way to meet the charity demands in a business like manner and relieve the public from contin uous and numerous drive activities by donating once and for nil the re quired funds necessary to take care of the city's need for the year. With much to learn, with many obstacles and handicaps to over come, the results obtained in 1921 were gratifying in every way. With the week beginning Monday, jnnu ary 30tb, with broader experience, a better organization and thousands of workers, it is hoped to accom plish much greater results than ever before for this worthy cause. The issuer the necessity for gener osity and concerted effort uiou the part of Portland citizens to respond to this movement is of great import and is a problem which cannot be thrust aside, but must be met squarely. Some perhaps arc unin formed oi the true purpose of the Community chest, its real accom plishments uud the disbursement of money contributed. The daily pa pers and other sources of informa tion are giving columns of matter at the present time and further in formation is available from Com munity chest headquarters. No details arc thctc but what are for the public or for publication. And so during that week when .you arc. approached by a kindly disposed solicitor consider it is a privilege that you as one can contribute in ROGERS II Stillgoesonandnuii Stillgoesonandmustcontinuetillweraisethecash H0U&E EA' WOOL WEylTER& &JT&, OVERCOATS Were $3.50, Sale Price $2.45 COATS OR VESTS A M m Were $2.85, Sale Price $2.35 $10 SO $12 SO $14 W $1fi A Were $1,951 Sale Price $li45 Were $4.50, Sale Price $2.95 IU,JU A.OU, 1 4.33, Men's Mix Wool Boss of the Road Stripe Men's Dress SWEATER e(MTS OVERALLS r a a sl 0 at s Were $3.50, Sale Price $2,65 Very Special, Per Pair $1,25 $6.50, $7.50, $8.50, $9.50 V C "fE R0tTo A T ft &T T TS ' B0YS" mT&- B0YS" OVERCOATS Were $1.95, Sale Price $1.45 Values 50c to $1.00 $Q OC M QC flft Were $1.25, Sale Price T.95c Choice 35c, 3 for $1.00 O.OV, Vl.VD, O.UU mews real Q M A P Q $3.85, $4,35, $4.95, Values to $7.50 LEATHER DRESS I ti Am really sacrificing them to raise the CASH Prove it for yourself.

The Community chest idea is be coming a National affair, for many cities have already or are at the present time putting it into effect. IJest of all due to having a Com munity fund availublc is the fact tint by applying this money to charitable purposes iti a judicious manner, and with' the efforts of painstaking and highly trained welfare workers, thousands who previously were objects of charity, have been placed in a position to help themselves, thus relieving the city from giving further assistance. The St. Johns precinct has been thoroughly organized, with the aid ot a number of public spirited rest .dents, and Mr. J. N. Kdlefscn is the colonel Iti charge, having as his Immediate staff of assistants Lieu tenant Colonel R. K. Hurd, Cap tains D. H. Knowles, Rev. W. li, Kloster, John Nocc, Alex. S, bcales, A. R.

As community we on the Peninsula. especially in St. Johns and vicinity, uoiu an enviable record in respond iug to ail movements for civic ben cfit or worthy enterprise where charity is concerned. Let us then once again answer the call, and with u personal and community feeling of pride and generosity con tribute for humanity's sake to this noble appeal. Reported.

Wagner Mrs. Sarah Emma Shaver was born July 3rd, 1850, lu Steuben county, New York, coining to Michigan with her parents in 1856, locating in Gratiot county. She was united iu marriage to Charles II. Wagner, July Otli. 1871. They lived in St. Louis a few years, then moved to their farm in Kmerson township, where they lived till April 1908, when they moved to St. Johns, Oregou. After residing one year tliere tncy settled on a farm nj Rainier, Oregon, where they lived till December, 1920, when failing health caused them to move to Portland, where she passed away January 17th, 1922, aged 71 years, 6 months uud 14 days.

She had been in poor health witth diabctis for several years, but her last illness was of three weeks duration. In the last days of her illness she often spoke of being impatient to be on the way to meet her Savior and the loved oties on the other shore. She was conscious until the last; picked out her songs and the minister, and asked to be laid away iu the dress she wore on her golden wed ding duy. It was 11 great comfort to the husband and six children who stood around her bedside to sec the faith and trust she had iu her Savior, and the hope of meeting over there. She was a true wife and a tender mother. She was laid to rest in Rose City cemetery from which can be seen the snow capped mountains she loved so well.

Know What You Are It will surely pay for us to de vote a little time occasionally to wards getting acquainted with our individual selves. Let us take ac count cf our own qualities and strike a balance by placing our good points iu the column of our assets, and marking down our bad ones as liabilities. How valuable this accounting will be depends mainly on our ability to be honest with ourselves, and to acknowledge to ourselves the truth in regard to Inilt titntlttna ntttlttlfrM ntr1 it.ttti- iiiuii u uiuniuij unit tin.- tious. False modesty must be laid aside, as well as vanity and con ceit. Because so many people err on the side of understanding them selves and make the mistake of placing too high an estimate on their abilities, many bright minds never attain recognition, merely from a lack of confidence in them selves. How often do we see such demonstrated when some ag gressive, conceited Individual, with a low grade of intelli gence, through nis or Her own strong belief in the infallabllity of their opinion, is liable to sway some mind whose ideas and judgment are infinitely superior; as when the breath of scandal harbors over us, many arc ready to accept the charge as a proof of guilt. While evil minds render out judgment. We should know ourselves for what we really arc, and after wc have made an honest judgment of our own ability submitting to let t lie otltcr poor creature rest in peace to bo his own judge, and to do what wc can to improve the weak spots. Then, and not until then, wc may prove ourselves, to our own satisfaction just what we really nre. This is the true road to self rcrpect, as we arc taught not to judge lest wc be judged. When the weak uud weary stumble and fall, wc should with pleasure be willing to again place them on their feet: speak to them with words of kindness and exert every effort to withhold words of criticism and con demnation. Let's watch our step. Wc can teach 110 graudcr lesson than that of friendship, uud as wc reap the golden fruit of gratitude produced therefrom, then wc would be prepared to hear the welcome plaudit, "Well done, my true and faithful scrvaut."
