THE .MORNING OREG ONTAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1920 15 515,1 NEEDED FOR fM STOCKINGS' The Oregonian Aids Public Welfare Bureau Work. DONATIONS ARE WANTED Kelief Committee Is Organized and Will Help Poor Families Be fore and After Christmas. Public welfare bureau needs $16,000 this month to help needy families. The Oregonian will receive contributions for this Telief work starting today. All money received will be acknowledged daily in The Oregonian and turned over to the public wel fare bureau. Make checks pay able to The Oregonian. The "winter stockings" of all the needy families of Portland, instead of just the Christmas stockings; will be filled this season if the good cit izens of Portland will aid the Pub lic Welfare bureau in its work of re lief. The relief committee of the bureau, formed yesterday at a meeting of more 50 welfare workers of the city, will center its efforts on the helping of needy families for the winter months before and after Christmas. This committee of 15 is successor to the Santa Claus club, which for the past four years has cared for the poor at Christmas time. The committee will need J15.000 to carry on the work in December. The Public Welfare bureau has ap pealed to everyone for help, whether his contribution may be large or small. The Oregonian will act as agent of the bureau in collecting the money, which will be sent directly to the bureau. As the contributions come in, they will be acknowledged daily in the columns of The Oregon ian. Fundi Needed at Once. Funds are needed at once to help the poor and the bureau hopes that contributions will be sent in promptly, eo that the money may be used to help pressing cases which need Im mediate attention. q The money sent for the relief fund will form a Christmas gift to the needy, but the benefits will be dis tributed throughout the winter months as well as In the holiday eeason. The Public Welfare bureau has at present 300 families under its care, including at least 600 children. Due to increasing unemployment for un skilled laborers, it is thought that the demands for relief will grow. By Christmas the bureau expects to be caring for at least 500 families. A total of 1200 families was cared for last year, with as many as 400 families in one month. A. R. Gep hart, general secretary, states that the number will be much larger this year. Money Used for Needy. During the winter " months last year $3000 was raised to carry, -on relief work by letters sent all over the city. This money was used in caring for 564 families, whose needs were called to the attention of the bureau. The appeal for the $15,000 will be continued until Christmas time. Every cent of the money raised for this relief fund will be used directly in caring for those who for various reasons need help. No money for expenses of any sort will be taken from this special fund. Any added expenses will be cared for from the general fund of the bureau. Families Personally Ylnited. An families . receiving attention are personally visited by representa tives of the bureau. This assures the givers that every person receiv ing help actually needs it. "Children of the poor always suffer from lack of clothing and lack of sufficient food in the winter months," said Mr. Gephart yester day. "That is the reason we are emphasizing caring for the families not only during the Christmas sea son, but before and after that time. Many adults, particularly those who are sick, suffer also during the winter season." Mrs. George B. Guthrie, member of the board of directors of the bureau, will be the chairman of the special relief committee. Assisting her will be two delegates from each , of the seven districts in which the city has been divided. At the Theaters. Pantages. THE clevere-t turn on the new bill .-vt Pantages is the "Chody, Dot and Midge" trio. Chodys last name is Jennings, Dot's last name is Bostwlck and Midge's family cognomen is Mor rison. Dot and Midge are unusually good looking girls, contrasts, of blonde and brunette, and they, wear stunning evening frocks that bring out and enhance their physical charms. One of the maids plays the piano with a positive genius for rip ples and syncopated runs, and the other maid decorates the scene and sings prettily.

OUTING SITES LOCATED in EXCELLENT AREAS FOtTXIr Oji MOUXT HOOD LOOP. Foresters Making Tentative Survey Report Good Summer "Home Locations Available. Three accessible summer home site areas have been found on the Mount Hood loop road by a party of forest service men, who have just returned to Portland after a two weeks' trip over the road. The foresters made a survey of the country to locate the best possible recreational centers. The areas located are in Upper St'll creek basin, at Little Zigzag and Lady creek. The basin area is near Summit meadows, about two miles above Government camp. Little Zigzag is two miles west of Govern ment camp and Lady creek is one and a half miles west of Twin Bridges. All the areas are large and are pro vided with pure water. The streams are small, so that they will not .be dangerous to children. No detailed surveys were made, for the trip was more in the nature of a recounnaissance. The foresters found that it is possible to reach the sum mer home sites over the old Barlow road, which is being replaced by the Mount Hood loop. Three good auto camp sites were noted at Twin Bridges, Toll Gate and near Summit meadows. The area surveyed for summer home sites was from Summit ranger sta tion to Zigzag ranger station, at the west entrance of the Oregon .Na tional forest. A. G. Jackson ' and W. J. Paeth journeyed over the four-mile stretch of the old Oregon trail from Laurel hill to Camp creek valley about. two miles below Twin Bridges. The trail followed the top of the ridge, be cause the pioneers had to be on the lookout for Indians. The trail is now overgrown and has probably not been used as a horseback trail for 30 vears. Trees eight and ten inches In diameter were round) in the center of the old trail. The trail may be opxned later as a horse trail to be used by summer campers and tourists who wish to get a good view of the surrounding coun try. Those in the forest service party in addition to Mr. Jackson and Mr. Paeth were: W. M. H. Woodward, G. A. Terry, John Calverley and R. E Smith. GERBER HOME IS BURNED ALAMEDA RESIDENTS TO ASK MORE FIRE PROTECTION. Occupant or House "VVakes Just in Time to Tie Sheets Together and Save His Family. Residents of the Alameda district have declared they will petition the city council for more adequate fire protection as the result of a disas trous fire which totally destroyed the home of Joseph R. Gerber, 871 Hamb let avenue, at an early hour yester day morning. When Mr. Gerber was aroused at about 2 o'clock in the morning, with the flames leaping from the basement to the upper part of the house, he was forced to tie two sheets together in order that his wife and 6-year-old son Francis might climb down in safety. After Mrs. Gerber had reached the ground she procured a ladder, which Mr. Gerber and a Japanese servant, Ben Kamaori, used in making their escape from the burning, building. Mr. Gerber then took the ladder to the side of the house and rescued a nephew, Ora, aged 11, who was asleep on the sleeping porch. The house and contents were a to tal loss, with damage of about $10, 000. Both the house and furnishings were practically fully covered by in surance. The fire started from the furnace in the basement. WANTS EXCEED MILLION POMM UNITY CHEST BUDGET TO APPEAR SOOX. Tentative Estimates Already Sub mitted Total Huge Sam and Others Will Follow.
