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.

stunning evening frocks that bring

piano with a positive genius for rip

OUTING SITES LOCATED

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.
