Companionship with Children
By Katherine Beebe
Too much cannot be said, concern
ing a real companionship between
parents and children. I emphasize the
"real." Those fathers and mothers
who have practiced this companion
ship through their children's unfold
ing years seem almost to hold them in
the hollow of their hands. Those for
tunate young people simply do not
want to do things which would grieve
or distress the ones they love best,
and in addition are so well equipped
with vital interest in the better and
finer aspects of life that the Jess de
sirable makes no effectual appeal. I
have seen this happen over and over
again, and one mother of five splendid
children said it was as certain as that
two and two made four. Given this
real companionship by their parents
and a mutual sharing of the best
things in home, 'books, music, art, na
ture and humanity during eighteen or
more plastic years and children are
bound to turn out well.
This sort 'of companionship is no
casual or haphazard thing.. The par
ents who realize its value and mean
to have it at any price are willing to
. play, really play with their babies, to
keep on playing with the little ones,
to give hours of time to the older
ones, and to live on such friendly
terms with their children from the
beginning that spontaneity, original
ity, muiauve ana encnusiasm are nev
er repressed . Tender love, real liv
ing sympathy with the child's point
of view, active participation in what
ever interests him, doing things to
gether, these are the precious secrets
of those parents whose children when
grown are still their dearesrtriends.
It is from the first a question of be
ing willing to pay the price. When
one sees on every hand boys and girls
whose friends and interests are all
outside of home, who seem entirely
at "liberty to choose their own occupa
tions and amusements and inclined to
select those which are not only ques
tionable but often desperately danger
ous, and contrasts them with those

Church News
The Rev. George Smith. Brown, of
Carson Heights Community ' Church,
others of whom we have been speak
ing, one is forced to conclude that
many parents have purchased self in
dulgence for themselves at a terrible
cost. "Where are their parents?
What are they thinking of?" How of
ten do we hear this said today as we
gaze upon the girls and oys' who are
on the streets, in the restaurants, at
! the shows, in the automobiles; as we
read the horrors in our daily papers,
as we listen to tales of disgrace and
disaster.
It does not matter much where they
are now. It is too late. Their great
chance is gone for good and all. But
years ago these parents were spend
ing hours upon themselves which
should have been passed in compan
ionship with their children. What
would they not give now for that
companionship and the influence
wlfich can be bought only at , that
price!
But, oh, you fathers and mothers
i of little children, don't let your oppor
tunity slip! Now is "your great
(chance! Fill the golden hours of
;your children's .early years with all
sorts of. work, play, projects, excurs
ions, reading and study together. Live
with your children. It was long ago
that Froebel cried, "Come, let us live
with our children!" and never was
his reason for so doing so clear to
our minds as in these latter days. Do
not say that you are too busy, or that
the labor of providing food and shel
ter for them prevents. Let them share
according to their years, in the fam
ily work, the family responsibilities
and even the family income. Remem
ber that companionship means partic
ipation. You can make work a frolic
or an unwelcome drudgery to them; it
is for you to choose. All depends on
the spirit in which the neecssary
things are done. Even be" thankful
that your means are restricted, for
then your problem will be a simpler
one than if you had all the money
you wish you had. Necessity is an
able assistant to any sort of teacher,
and besides it is you the children
want rather than the things you think
you would like to give them.

nual pass to the ball games, issued by
the Portland Baseball Club, Pacific
Coast League. Under a new ruling,
these passes were issued to all the
clergy of Portland.
The Finance Committee of the
Church is still busy at work in the
effort to clean up the church debt.
The fact that Mr. E. S. Collins, of
Portland, is douhling all moneys col
lected is proving a great stimulus ; ten
dollars collected automatically be
comes twenty dollars.
A very important official board
meeting was held at the church, Mon
day night, May 29, presided over by
the minister. Those present were the
Trustees, Stewards, presidents of the
various societies of the church and
the Finance committee.

THE PEOPLE'S SAY
Logan, Ore., May 14, 1922.
Editor Banner-Courier:
I think this is an opportune time
for a further discussion of our Clack
amas bonding road program and its
attempted recall by a committee of
Clackamas Pomona Grange. It would
be impossible to discuss this matter
without going into details about the
connection therewith of Harvey G.
Starkweather who seems to think he
has so successfully spread himself
over Clackamas County that he was
justified in asking democrats of the
county to endorse his action by mak
ing him thei candidate for governor.
As a democrat and a citizen of Clack
amas County, who takes seriously the
old democratic slogan of equal rights
to all and special privileges to none
I did not and will not endorse his
candidacy unless he or his supporters
can convince me that I am wrong in
ascribing wrong and narrowly selfish
motives to him and those of his com
munity who have blindly followed his
leadership.
I will begin by saying that I realize
that C. E. Spence; worthy master of
the state grange has been actuated by
an instinctive dislike for debts, pub
lic and private, such as actuated the
founders of the grange, and that I
share in that dislike but not in the
belief that it is best to yield to that
dislike under the financial system
that rules the world and will so rule
it uhtil it has still further demonstrat
ed its unsoundness. Mankind is still
being crucified on a cross of gold and
apparently has yet to learn the so
called intrinsic value of gold, his in
the limited amount so that the prin
cipal holders of it can use it as a
commodity, invoke the ancient false
law of supply and demand, play the
fool's game of the ages, gambling for
profits, profiteering, which always has
and"" always will bring sorrow to the
world until discarded. But the big
players of the game, have played in
to a position where they are willing
to make large" loans for long times at
low rates and the wise thing to do is
to take the chance and catch the big
ones with an income tax.
Now, let us read a little history.
When it was first proposed to bond
the nation and the states to get money
to loan on farm mortgages for long
times at low rates, Woodrow Wilson
was president, Oswald West was gov
ernor and C. E. Spence was master
of the state grange and through the
combination H. G. Starkweather was
sent to Europe to invesigate land loan
systems, a fact of which we are al
ways reminded in pre-primary. days.
When it was proposed to bond the
state to huild the Pacific highway,
Mr. Starkweather and his community
was very much in favor of that be
cause they thought the road would go
through their place of business. Mr.
Starkweather argued for it through
the papers and canvassed for it in
Eastern Oregon. The road was made
on the wrong side of the Willamette
to suit them but Clackamas County
Oregon City
finally paved without excessive or un
usual special taxes, contrary. to their
claim. All the granges of the state,
except those Along the highway, clam
ored against through highways and
scenic roads and demanded market
roads.
Then came the bonding plan of
building market roads for all sections
of the county, most of them leading
toward the beloved city of Portland
"where my possessions lie." The roads
were to be paid for in 16 annual pay
ments, the interest was' to be 5 per
cent, the bonds were to be sold at par
and only the labor could be contract
ed. If permanent paved roads could
be built for the money it was diffi
cult to see why it would not be good
business sense and economy to carry
it through rather than keep up the' ex
pensive habit of building macadam
one year to be mostly worn out be
fore another year, to say nothing of
the wear and tear on vehicles, the loss
of time. etc.

FOUR WAYS TO BUILD
AN AERIAL FOR RADIO
Tree-Top, Wooden or Pipe Masts,
And Windmill Methods
Described
As a guide to "beginners in getting
the best results from their radiotele
phone receiving outfits, four effective
methods of laying out and construct
ing an aerial are described in detail
by Louis S. McNamara in the June
issue of Popular Science Monthly.
"The two main points to bear in
mind at the outset," he says, "are
to make the aerial as high as possible
and as near 125 feet in length as fa
cilities will permit, -
"A tree is perhaps the most access
ible of anchorages for aerials, but to
get best results a mast should be
erected in the top of the tree in or
der to elevate the aerial above all
branches. If this is not possible, the
aerial can be swung from one of the
branches, providing the wire, is well
insulated from the tree.
Wooden and Pipe Masts
"Next to a tree a wooden mast,
made by nailing together two two by
fours to form a four by four, makes a
good aerial post. Two sections, each
20 feet long, with a three-foot splice,
wili give a mast about 30 feet high.
Such a mast should be prevented from
buckling by three guy wires attached
at or near the splice.
"But the best aerial mast of all,
the most easily erected and the most
permanent, is the pipe mast. This
can be lifted to any height, providing
the bottom section selected is large
enough and that plenty: of guys are
used.
"In making a pipe mast the height
will determine the size of the bottom
section. Ifa height of about 35 feet
is desired, start with a two-inch pipe.
At one end screw on a pipe cross and
in each of the side taps screw a plug
with a one-quarter-inch hole drilled
in its head. At the remaining open
tap put in a two to 1 -inch reducer
for the next section of pipe. The
holes in the plugs are fdr the guy
wires. -
"By thus reducing the size of the
pipe in each successive section the
aerial mast may be carried up until
the final section is three-quarters inch
in diameter. All bending strains will
be taken up by the guy wires.
"The bottom section should be em
bedded for about 18 inches in solid
concrete and the whole pipe well cov
ered with red lead to prevent rusting.
"Radio amateurs who live on farms
where windmills are used are. already
supplied with an excellent antenna
mast, 'One end of the aerial can be
fastened to' the top platform of the
mill; and the other carried to a hook
on the house near the instruments,
which completes the aerial."

It isn't gasoline that explodes in
the cylinder of your car and
makes power.
It's gas air, mixed in the car-"
buretor with gasoline to form
vapor.
Red Crown gasoline vaporizes
completely. It forms a homoge
neous mixture with 12 to 16 times
its volume of air. That mixture
explodes cleanly and powerfully,
leaving comparatively little car-'
bon residue on valves, spark
plugs and cylinder walls.
That's why you get better mileage out
of "Red Crown" and a cleaner, sweeter-running
engine.
