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

some degree to Portland's needy,
for there ure thousands lacking in
every instance the bare necessities
of life, and it is for those things
and these people, men, woman and
children, that your dollars go.
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

Mrs. Charles H. 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
is survived by her husband and
eight children, six of them being at
her bedside during her last Illness.
She was the mother of nine child
ren, Lewis of BakcrsGcld, Cal.,

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

mountains she loved so well.
"Dearest mother, she has left us,
And our loss we deeply feel:
But 'tis God that hath bereft us.
He can all our sorrows heal,"

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." Contributed.
