BOYS AND SWIMMING i Swimming in the old swimming hides around Hillsboro isn’t like it Used to be for the boys of today. A few weeks ago a boy drowned in one of the holes near here. Every edition of the daily press tells of drownings. Few of the older boys, who can awim and are strong enough to ' help in a rescue, go to the nearby They are older • swimming holes. and can usually persuade "Dad" to , let them have the car and go to some of the pools a few miles away. The younger boys cannot do this and as a result go where the older and larger boys seldom go. These smaller boys are in many cases learning to swim as all boys hove to do. You can’t tell the boy to "Hang your clothes on a hickory bush, but don’t go near the water." The editor doesn’t forget the days when he used to trudge around to swim in all the different pools near Hillsboro, and is of the opinion that ‘‘boys will be boys," and that if they want to swim they will some* how manage to get away. Every assistance should be given the boys in their efforts to learn how to swim. Go with them your- self to help them whenever you can, because they can't swim if they don’t go near the water. Some ef fort should be made to have super vision, or better still a swimming tank. WORK NEEDED HERE Every few days some different idea of a short cut to the beach is proposed with much enthusiasm, and the business men of Hillsboro, Forest Grove and Beaverton are asked to participate in enthusiastic meetings. It appears to us that we have road work right here at our door that needs this enthusiasm that goes bubbling over about ever so often for the Wilson river road, the Trask river. Salmonberry, the inland loop and others. Work has been started on the new Canyon road in Multnomah county, and next year it will prob ably be straightened and widened to Beaverton. This work will make this route to Beaverton a No. 1 highway. With the heavy traffic from Forest Grove, through Hills boro, and to Portland, a wider and straighter highway is a necessity, and should have early consideration at the hands of the state highway commission. A pleasure boat turned over in Lake Michigan Thursday and many women and children were drowned. When a storm came up they rushed to one side of the boat to escape the rain and the boat Upped over with them. The accident was simi- liar to that of 13 years ago in Chi cago, when the Eastland, a pleasure boat, turned over with a loss of more than 800 lives. Coolidge, the man of few words, gave the following statement to the press Tuesday: ‘‘I do not choose to run for president in 1928." The republicans could do much worse than to select Vice-President Dawes as their standard bearer in the next presidential election, but he isn't particular about what he says and this undoubtedly does not appeal to the party leaders.
