Appeals from various angles will
reach even the most casual Portland
citizen during the community chest
campaign, which starts January 30.
Posters, newspaper advertising, news
storks and tnotion-nicture films will
be used, and songs and bands will
make the appeal musical. Practically
all the senses will be attacked, it
might even be added, more or less
waggishly, that the sense of touch,
too. will not be entirely unemployed.
The publicity committee has been
entrusted with a big task. Theirs is
the Job of making all Portland real
ize the need that exists to care for
the unfortunates of the city, who de
pend upon the chest as children do
upon their own parents.
'horough organization Is under
ay by the committee, so that these
ePults may be attained. Bureaus
have been created, each of which will
iaidle a different means of pub
licity. These general heads are win

Th.e theaters' bureau will arrange

bureau is arranging newspaper pub
licity. Perhaps most active of all is the
feature bureau that is planning
stunts of different kinds, some of
them surprises that are not to be re
vealed until the campaign days come.
Out of this bureau came the win
ning slogan for the drive, which is
"Sure we'll help!" The official but

the words, "I have helped."

LIBRARY TRAINING GIVEN
Class for Junior Assistants to Ilc
gin February 20.
During the absence of Miss Kthel
Sawyer, director of the training class
of the public library, a new class will
be formed for the training of junior
assistants. This class, which Is un
der the direction of Miss Constance
Kwing, is to begin February 20. and
will continue for 12 weeks.
The course Is designed to meet the
need of the library for clerical assist
ants and will Include lessons In cata
loging, classification, alphabeting,
bibliography, registration and loans,
and other technical subjects. Appli
cants for this class must have had at
least a high school education and
should be between 20 and 30 years
of age.
A competitive examination for ap
plicants will be held February 1. This
examination includes questions on
general history, literature and cur
rent events. All applications should
be made in person at the public II
biary. FIGHTS ON CARS ARE FEW
Only IB During Year, According to
City Railway Statistician.
Portland citizens are the most law
abiding and peaceable persons in the
world, so declare the operating offi
cials of the Portland Railway, Light
& Power company and they are ready
to back up the statement with hard
boiled facts and figures.
Now comes the pugilistic statis
tician of the big trolley corporation
and remarks that there were a total
of only 19 fights registered on all
the cars operated by the company dur
ing 1921. And the company keeps
about 430 cars going 365 days in the
year and during 1921 the company
hauled 95.049.267 passengers, so there
was only one fight for every 6,000,000
persons carried on the cars.
The records show that these
"fights" consisted of anything from
slapping each other on the wrist to
coats-and-vest s-of f-and-tos-t he-mark,
and now and then slight bruises.

City Offi.lul Says Only One Other
Municipality in Country Has
Finer System of Parks.
Ten thousand automobiles will
visit Portland's auto camp during the
coming year, was the prediction of
S. C Pier, city commissioner, in an
address at the luncheon of the Rotary
club at the Benson hotel yesterday
noon.
Mr. Pier said that during: the sea
son just closed 6686 automobiles, car
rying 23,000 persons, visited the camp
ground. This, he declared, was close
to the total of 7500 cars which visited
the auto camp at Los Angeles, noted
as a city for tourists.
The speaker said there was only
one other auto camp in the United
States that could compare with the
one at Portland, that no city in the
country was so splendidly equipped
with playgrounds and parks.
In touching upon proposed park
improvement he said that it was
hoped to be able in the ru'iir future
to move the zoo from Washington
park to some other location. He ex
pressed the belief that the zoo de
tracted from the attractiveness of the
park.
It was announced that surplus
funds obtained by the club for its
Christmas activities were being de
voted to a solarium at the govern
ment hospital for ex-soldiers.
Harry Kwing, chairman of the boys'
work committee, was chairman of the
day.
