Despite the end of the war and of

land's programme for more homes for
the workers will go ahead at full
peed. This has been decided by the
Portland housing committee after
careful consideration of existing con
ditions, according to announcement yes
terday by Mayor Baker, leader in the
"more homes campaign.
Indications of further activities in
the wooden shipbuilding; programme
and of other Industries for the city

The recent report to the city by
Charles Cheney, hausing consultant,
who has been conducting an extensive
survey of housing; and playground
conditions here. Is believed to have
had an effect in determining; the con
tinuance of the war programme. Building-
activitiea In rortland have slack
ened in the past few years so that
from 100 to 3000 more moderately
priced homes now are needed to catch
up with the normal growth, he re
ported. These houses are to cost be-
een 1:000 awl ijoow ana to rent at i
about K5.
"The home' building organisation
was formed at the request of, and in
co-operation with, the Government,
said Mayor Baker, "and the purpose
was to provide suitable housing -for
workers engaged in war work. While
it might seem that the sudden termin
ation of the war might halt the pro
gramme, study of conditions leads to a
different conclusion.
Skip PresTvaataae Modified
The wooden shipbuilding programme
will be modified or private parties will
provide ample work for these plants,
it Is now assured. Portland Is now
short about 3000 homes and this con
dition has necessitated the occupancy
of undesirable places and has driven
large numbers of people from the city.
"If Portland fails to provide for her
workers, they will go elsewhere.
Growing Industrial establishments will
aid in continuing the present enlarged
population and it behooves the city
from every angle to go. ahead with its
housing programme.'
The housing committee co-operating
with the Government will aid builders
In making plans, engaging helpi ob
tainlng materials and obtaining loans.

I VI nounced the engagement of her
daughter. Miss Shirley Eastham,
to Lieutenant Alfred Millard. Jr.. in
fantry, U. S. A. The news Is more than
ordinarily Interesting, because both
young people are in France, the former
being a member of the first Woman's
Overseas Hospital Unit to be sent
abroad. They sailed in February and
have seen active service ever since.
At on time the hut was right behind
the front line trenches and the women
have had many thrillinar experiences.
Miss Eastham has also been on duty
in several hospitals that were bombed,
and for some time tack she has been
in the Chateau d Ognon. near Senlis.
while her fiance has been in the first-
line 'trenches with his regiment. He.
recently was severely wounded in the
arm. during an engagement, and he is
in a hospital In Paris, where Miss East
ham passed her holidays last month.
As soon as Mr. Millard recovers suf
ficiently from his wound, the young
folk will be married in Paris, and they
expect to be able to return shortly
after to this country.
Miss Eastham is one of the most
popular maids in Portland society, as
well as being one of the most interest
ing and clever. After she had com
pleted her earlier education at the Port
land Academy she attended Miss Full
er's School in Ossinglng on the Hndson,
N. T. After her graduation from that
establishment, she went abroad and en
tered school in Florence, Italy, where
she took up the study of languages.
Miss Eastham also spent some time in
Paris studying, making several trips
abroad. She has two brothers In serv
ice, Gerald and Edward, and her sister.
Miss Helen Eastham, is also a devoted
war worker.
The trlde-to-be always has devoted a
great deal of her time to study and de
velopment, and as soon as the oppor
tunity presented itself she took the I
special nurse's course at one of the hos
pitals in this city, later going to New I
Tork to take a more Intensive training I
In nursing and laboratory work. She is
the youngest member of the unit to
which she is attached, and she also is
a great favorite with the members of I
the hospital staff as well as the nurses.
Lieutenant Millard Is a son of Mr. and
Mrs. Alfred MHlard, of New Tork. He
made his home in Hood River for a
number of years,'. where he has exten
sive fruit orchards. He is a graduate
or Cornell, and during his residence in
Hood River he made frequent visits to
Portland where he was very popular
socially. He received his commission
at the training school in Plattsburg,
N. Y-. and sailed with his regiment for I
overseas in May.
The engagement has been known to I
the oiose friends of the couple, as well
as to Miss Eastham's relatives, but
owing to the regulations of the Gov
ernment concerning engagements and
marriages of nurses while in service,
the announcement was withheld until
the armistice was signed.
A happy coincidence was the arrival I
of Mr. Millard's brother In Paris at the I
same time that Miss Eastham was hav
ing her holidays, so that the trio had
many pleasant visits together. Mr. Mil- I
lard's brother, Hugh Millard, was for
merly an ambulance driver in the
American Red Cross, and also was
made Intelligence officer, stationed in
London, so that he was a"ble to secure
leave and visit his brother In Paris.

Most decidedly. Doctors have long known, and Welfare
Workers in France report that men lose their craving for alcohol
when they can get plenty of candy. Candy and alcohol, the food
expert tells us, have much in' common, but candy supplies real
energy instead of a deceptive feeling of energy. The boys havo
needed energy and will need it until their great work " over there '
is finally, done.
We can at least speak for Lowney's Chocolates. This is how
they are made and shipped. Each of the 36 pieces in the "Over
seas" box is wrapped in tinfoil an assortment made up of 2 i
different kinds of chocolates. The chocolates are then packed in
a metal box and tightly sealed against the air. This trick was
learned in the days when Lowney supplied "just right" chocolates
' to our soldiers in the Phillipines and to the United States fleet
that sailed around the world.
THAT'S what you might call the sweet' side of Uncle Sam's
war machinery. The Government orders Lowney's Chocolates
in the Overseas Package to be delivered to the Quartermaster
General. They are then sold at cost through the army canteen.
By way of answer, we quote from a letter written to Th
W. M. Lowney Company by Captain N of one of the Base
Hospitals. He writes: "Your chocolates are giving great pleasure
to many a wounded boy over here in France." He then goes on
to speak of their perfect condition "apparently as good as ths
day they were made."
No, and you won't until the last boy comes marching home
The Lowney Company's whole effort is first to supply the needs
of the Army and Navy you mothers, sisters and best girls, can
only have what's left. No, you can't have any of these "Over
seas" packages for yourself. They are exclusively for the boys
In service. For their sake, then, we feel sure you will willingly
cut down on candy just as long as the boys continue to need
it more, than you do.
