Ladies Aid Holds Session
The Ladies Aid of the Carson
Heights Church held an all day
session at the Church Wednesday,
sewing for the suffering Armenians.
Mrs. C. B. Simmons of Portland, has
been named chairman of the Bundle
day campaign committee, who'se pur-J
pose is to collect spare clothing. The
committee is composed of Mrs. Hugh
McGuire, Mrs. C. E. Dant, Mrs. Lee
Davenport, Mrs. A. E. Richards and
Mrs. Bertha Bowery. The shipment
last eyar amounted to over 1000 tons
of spare clothing gathered from dif
ferent cities
ONE DUTY OF FIRE
DEPARTMENT IS TO
- REDUCE HAZARDS
And just as this city was content
edly settling down to the enjoyment
of the Buyers' Carnival there comes
the unwelcome and startling cry of
danger The cause of this rude shock
to our self-satisfaction is the existence
of tremendous fire hazards.
The fire department is authority
for the statement that the careless
ness of citizens in this regard is as
tounding if not criminal: that there
is general disregard for the laws and
ordinances on this important matter.
Ashes are emptied into wodden
boxes and barrels and left standing
in contact with wooden partitions or
against wooden buildings; old papers
and rags are left to form spontaneous
combustion in wooden or paper boxes
or in corners a genuine fire menace.
Cigarettes are carelessly thrown
away even from upper windows
threatening the setting on fire of the
awnings below, etc., etc. etc.
There is a law requiring all ashes,
rags and combustible material to be
kept in metal containers. There are
fines provided as penalties.
The fire department officers an
nounce that they will henecforth en
force the laws against fire hazards.
And this is their imperative duty.
They ought to be punched if they
shirk THEIR duty. And every other
citizen ought just as surely to do HIS
duty in matters of fire prevention.

After approximately five years of
active service extending over Clacka
mas county and including participa
tion in war work the local chapter of
Red Cross will close its office room
in the Masonic building this week
Saturday. The reason for closing is
lack of funds with which' to carry on
the work.
During the World struggle this or
ganization ranked high among the
chapters of the national organization.
t did effective work in preparation of
hospital supplies, soldier aid and phil
antropic work of the various essential
kinds. And since the armistice was
declared it has rendered effective ser
vice to the families of retruned sol
diers who through injuries or for oth
er reasons have been in need.. In
every effort to promote the health
and well-being of the community this
local branch has been aggressive.
Miss Cis Barclay Pratt has directed
as secretary the work of the local
branch during the past three years.
Conscientious and faithful in the dis
charge of every duty connected with
the chapter she rendered splendid ser
vice bringing aid and comfort to the
needy and afflicted everywhere with
in the range of service. And to her
"Well done," is the least of praise
well merited.
Guardianship Asked
Mrs. Helen E. Wilcox has filed a
petition with the county court asking
to be appointed guardian of the per
son and estate of her son, Cyrus Neal
Wilcox, nosvean inmate of the asylum

of Sessions
The 29th annual gathering of the
Willamette Valley Chautauqua Asso
ciation at the historic and scenic
Gladstone Chautauqua Park will as
semble July 1st this year and continue
its session to and including July 13th.
Following the established policy of
the organization to keep up a steady
and substantial growth every effort is
being made by the management to
make this year's program an improve
ment on any previous year. The pro
gram has .l5een tentatively arranged
and with the exception of a few min
or details is thoroughly complete. In
addition to the forum hours and pro
grams in the big auditorium schedul
ed there will be a daily afternoon sym
posium at which many of the best
read' and best known Oregon people
will gather to discuss the various sub
jects in which their lives are dedi
cated. Authors, educators , ministers
and msuicians ail find their place on
the program. Each morning from 10
to 11 will be reserved for the Bible
Hour, the officers feel that the Bible
Hour is the heart of the Chautauqua
idea. It is not definitely determined
who will be the leader of this hour
but he will be a minister of great
force and wide reputation.
The daily base ball games, which
have come to be relied upon as the
variety which makes the association a
success, are to be scheduled with par
ticular interest toward arranging ev
en contests. Mr. Beattie, the secre
tary, is ready to accept applications
from the managers of any amateur
teams in Clackamas or Multnomah
Counties. Several have already signi
fied their desire to play on the Chau
tauqua diamond, and the ' indications
are that the National game will not
want for players or fans this jyear.
The children will be taken' care of
in the way of Junior Chautauqua
which provides . games, sports and a
great pageant for their interest. The
athletics for the older children tind .
grown persons who care to participate
will be directed by a competent gym
nasium expert and classes for the var
ious ages have been arranged.
