.A spick and span as Spotless Town.
Of ancient and demure renown,
Wat Portland when the laat tin ean
Was trundied off by the garbage man.
The future voter of Portland set
tled down yesterday to their third
day's task to turn Portland into a
veritable "Spotless Town."
Laurelhurst and central east Port
land bore the brunt of the scourins
and sweeping, the cutting and the
burning the spading and the rak
ing, the washing and the pollening,
the cleaning and the painting. And so
thorough a Job was done that the
proverbial new pin would have felt
itself dull and rusted as compared
iih the spickness and the spanness
of the heart of east Portland.
Not a firehouse had less than 50
Boy Scouts as the mainstay of the
clean-up forces, and one had as many
lou. remaps the fact that wiuis
Brockway, chief scout executive, was
himself on the job as Rotary clctb
chairman was responsible for the
strength of the Scouts. Be that as it
may, the Scouts added yet another to
Uielr list of patriotic achievements.
School Yonnfrnters Dismissed.
ft was Bast Side Business men's
club and Portland Rotary club day. It
was just as thoroughly fire stations

completely Buckman. Kern, Etna,
Hawthorne - Buckman, Laurelhurst,
Stephens, Sunnyside, Glencoe, Hos-
ford, Hudson, Montavilla, Mount Ta
bor, Richmond and South Mount Ta
bor school day.
When dismissed right after recess,
the youngsters took the field, armed
cap-a-pio with brooms, shovels, rakes
and hoes.
The hearts of the youngsters were
gladdened by the donation of 60 Hip
podrome theater tickets by William
Ely of the Hippodrome. For the bal
ance of the week Mr. Kly has donated
another 100 tickets; C. S. Jensen of
Jensen & Von Herberg has donated
100 tickets to the Peoples theater;
Larry Keating, 60 tickets to see Dil
lon and King at the Lyric; G. T.
Woodlaw, 60 tickets for the Circle,
and John A. Johnson, 50 tickets for
Pantages.
Forty thousand dodgers will be dis
tributed by the fire stations of Port
land, annoucing junk prices for Sat
urday's junk sale, but Miss Helen
Whitney of the American Red Cross
shop was to the forefront with an
earnest appeal that the Red Cross
shop be not forgotten.
"We can use old furniture, old pa
pers and magazines, old pictures, clean
rags, old clothes and anything else
that is salable." said Miss Whitney.
"and every donation means help for
a wounded soldier or his family."
Truck Mill Call.
The Red Cross truck will call on
receipt of any telephone call. Miss
Whitney said.
The street-cleaning department can
only remove great plies of rubbish
from vacant lots, etc. It cannot and
will not remove sacks full of cans and
other rubbish deposited by home own
ers in front of their homes. These
must be put with the garbage for the
garbage man, announced t red O.
Krockman, general chairman, after a
conference with Alex Donaldson of
the street-cleaning dopartnient, who
confessed his force was swamped.
The fire department had counted
on 60 actual fires as a result of the
clean-up, but has not had to put out a
single one yet.

TO meet the needs of war a great
American merchant fleet was
created; wp spent $3,000,000,000
for 10,000,000 tons of shipping.
For the first time in half a century
the American flag is back upon the
sea.. Shall we keep it there? .
. These ships are now owned by the
United States Government. It is agreed
that they should be sold to private
American owners.
But the United States should not
sell its ships until the conditions under
which they are to be operated are
determined.
- '
These conditions will only be known
when shipping legislation now under
'consideration becomes a law... This
law will affect ship values as
well as settle our future on the sea.
. If our ships arc sold in advance of Con
gressional action the Government must,
accept less than it would receive after
Congress adopts a progressive policy.
Bargain prices to present purchasers
would give them unearned profit if new
laws make American ships more valuable
than they are at present.
Pending legislation declares that our
policy is "to do whatever may be
necessary. to develop and encourage"
our merchant marine.
American ships cost more to build
and to. operate than do foreign ones.
Congress is planning to overcome these
disadvantages.
Until this is done, it. is evident that
the ships we now have should not be
dispersed to face competitive con
ditions which, prior to the war, resulted
in the decline of our merchant marine
to insignificance.
