worked through other drives, such as
the Red Cross and the liberty bond
campaigns, are back in the harness.
Some of the solicitors have been r
the ground so frequently that they are
acquiring an extensive personal ac

war work is assuming a sort of social
phase.

Funday in all the churches of the
United States. Every minister is re
quested to deliver a short talk on the
war savings stamps, explaining the ne
cessity for thrift and the purchase of

HEDLUND LAUDS fiV NARY
PORTLAND DEMOCRAT PAYS
TRIBUTE TO SENATOR.
HIGH
Oregon Lawmaker Held Largely Re
sponsible for Shipbuilding Ac
tivity on Coast.
"I do not believe that the people of
Oregon reajize fully the effort that
Benator McKary has made or what he
has accomplished for the continuation
of the Governments wood ship pro
gramme," said Dr. O. T. Hedlund, of
the Columbia Engineering Works, and
prominent in Democratic ranks, who
has Just returned from Washington.
The average senator evinces no
Breat interest in industrial work and
in that respect Senator McNary is an
exception. He is indefatigable and
persistent in his work before the
Shipping Board. He has taken ad
vantage of every opportunity to pre
sent to the Shipping Board the neces
;ity for building wood ships in the
Oregon district to the limit of lumber
supply and labor available, and its giv
ing his time completely to furtherance
of the Government programme for the
production of needed tonnage. It was
3argely through his efforts that 100 of
the 200 5000-ton Doherty type wood
Fhips are to be built in the Pacific
Northwest.
"Not only has Senator McNary done
his utmost, in obtaining contracts for
the, construction of Government ships
in the Pacific Northwest, but he has
ibeen untiring in his efforts to ex
pedite the building of wood ships for
private account by the shipyards of
this district."

Like a merry magnet on the banks

of pleasure-lovers yesterday to picnic
In the cool shade of the old trees, to
