This county has shown considerable growth in recent years and many new settlers are constantly be ing attracted here. It is very appropriate that such a wel coming program should be given and par ticularly at the beginning of this year's fair, which gives promise of being out standing. Our hope is that a large repre sentation of newcomers is present and that the opportunity for meeting and making new friends is fully utilized. With Finis L. Brown of Laurel as gen eral chairman the affair should truly be a "Newcomers’ Jamboree” and an eve ning of good fun the lot of everyone, new comers and oldtimers. alike. The Argus joins in extending a hand of welcome and wishing for these newcom ers a happy, healthy and prosperous life in the Tualatin valley. With business already overburdened with the social security tax. Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau is advocating in creasing social security taxes for what he says is double purpose of preventing infla tion during the emergency and cushioning readjustments later. This tax is a great burden on many kinds of business that are actually losing instead of benefiting from defense program expenditures. Wouldn’t it be logical to give some thought to reductions or relief in some of these non-essentials and which have noth ing to do with the defense program in stead of socking small business even hard er? We think so. Furthermore many’ of these businesses that would be hit are of the type that for the most part have been steady employers and have not caused de mands on the social security funds. What's Holding Us Backr Vote of Rotarians on needed public pro jects further substantiates the general p^i- lic demand for a swimming pool. With such a propelling desire what’s holding us back? Down in Astoria a pool is being constructed through volunteer work. The following story in the Astoria As- torian-Budget tells how Astorians are go ing after a pool: A floor was added to the Tapiola park swim ming pool and footings for the showers and dressing room were laid Sunday as 60 volunteer workmen poured 92 yards of concrete The pool proper is now complete except for plumbing and some finishing work and the next step will be to complete this work and pour the walls and floor for the building and deck over with concrete the space between the building and the pool. The volunteers began to show up at the site at 4:30 in the morning and at 5 o'clock the concrete pouring began. Concrete finishers from Tongue point took over after the floor was poured. The workers were fed a swell breakfast consist ing of waffles, bacon and eggs, toast and coffee. Food was eaten again between 11 and 12 o'clock and light lunch was served at 4 in the afternoon. Wives of the volunteers and other interested ladies prepared and served the food. B. E. Mating, Inc., is taking a forward step with provision for parking space for the cars of employes. This action will be appreciated by workers and all interested in seeing the traffic situation handled in the most satisfactory manner. Wheeler and Lindbergh find few friends here—says heading over front door bal lot box story. The same sentiment would doubtless hold true in most every section of the United States.
