Contest Is Written by Private Secretary to Governor, Who Sees Thrift in Community Uplift Don H. Upjohn, private secretary to Governor Olcott, fa winner of first prize In the essay-writing contest put on by the mercantile establishment of Gale it oC. All essays submitted were required to deal with the sub ject of thrift. Several of the essays will be printed In The Statesman, one appearing each day. Mr. Upjohn's letter follows: All too frequently the individual -believes that his possibilities for in vestment are limited ' to the extent ! his saving power. In his savings and what tkey may return to him be sees his ' only fortification and bulwark against poverty; and distress in old are. His living; expenses he counts ..as a; dead loss, on the investment pages" of his ledger. Immense possi bilities are open to the ordinary cit izen for reaping a return on his Hv in g costs and turning those expenses into a well-ordered investment. The community In which you re side is prosperous only insofar as its industries are prosperous. A pros perous community makes prosperous citizens. , A poverty stricken com munity loses its best citizens, and those who remain sink into distress With the community. Industry may receive its greatest impetus from tlie support of tho.se In the community where it operates. Hacked by the moral and material support of those citizens the industry reaches out and draws prosperity to itself, which is reflected In the income of every tam Hy in the community. The individ ual who gives his whole-hearted and unstinted support to the industries which surround him enriches him self even to a greater extent thau lie benefits those industries. He devel ops his community, he develops civ ic pride, he develops Immeasurable opportunities for the betterment of everyone with whom he cbmes in con tact. He becomes a citizen of the highest type andreaps a rich re ward, not financially alone, but in the general benefit of his own im mortal soHJ. If every citizen In Salem wotild dress bis family in Oregon made clothes, set bis table with Oregon made foods, and surround himself with Oregon made products in an Oregon made home, another census year would see our city's population, bank deposits and general prosperity tripled or quadrupled DANGER SIGNALS OF BAD BLOOD Pimples on the face, bunches l the neck, sallow and swarthy com plexion, sores, ulcers, mucous patch es, copper colored spots, scaly skin arreclions. constipation.

Had she known the little inci dents which ltd this certain group of Salem musicians, who have been traveling around with their instru ments under their arms, boarding street cars, riding in automobiles furnished by Big Brother Elks or. perchance walking when no convey ance is supplied to places where they have been invited to play, she might feel a little more kindly toward them and their efforts to brighten the world a little. j Had she known that this orches tra is very' young in organization having, played as a body only since September 14, 1919. she might have withheld her protest. She did not stop to tuink that it takes time to build an orchestra or symphony, especially without finan cial backing. She did not stop to think that it takes time for this cer tain little 'group of musicians to put on a concert at all of Oregon's state Institutions and numerous other places where music might be rend ered to those whose souls are long ing tor music, origbt and cheery. It was not the church who sent this orchestra on these various con cert tours. At the suggestion of their very young conductor, these young musicians took it upon them selves to give a portion of their hap py hours to others and they wish it understood that they have given of their, music unselfishly. They have not taken up any kind of subscrip tion from the public to buy instru ments. Everything they have done they have worked for themselves and that has taken time. Many or them work in offices during the day and go to school nights. It takes time to attend rehearsajs for great or chestra selections cannot be mastered at one rehearsal. , So far, however, no night has been too snowy or cold to keep this group of music lovers away, when their lit tle director called a rehearsal, or made a call for them to play for mus ic hungry souls. In . behalf of this little group of musicians the writer wishes to explain that this orchestra has played at these various institu tions upon invitation. Just after the penitentiary min strel show the director of this or chestra received an Invitation to bring her orchestra out there for a concert. Seeing how hungry the In mates, including men and women. were for music she inquired If the orchestra would be willlns to ao. ' Every big brother, every big sfsierl was willing. ' ( The writer wishes to inform this! suuragette reporter that the orches tra did not bar from hearing their concert, the four female inmates. These musicians played just as will ingly for these girls or women as they did for the men. Yea. had 'the penitentiary been half filled, or en tirely filled with the female sex. this orchestra would have played jnst the same with just as much kind thought and interest. This orchestra has made no di- iiumuu wuaisoever regarding sex. i nor com sexes are In the orchestra. Why should they when both love music and there is no sex in talent, mind or brains? It will be remembered on the day after Christmas that this orchestra gave a concert at the state hospital and were there, also, upon an Invi tation which came from a music lov ing man who has the welfare of these ifnforjunateg at heart. Had this suffragette reporter been present at this concert she would hare-seen that the orchestra was playing for women 'and glrhu who occupied one-half oftne audi torium and for men and boys who occupied the other half. These mu sicians were just as anxious that the women enjoy their music as they were that the men any boys should enjoy it. If this suffragette wishes so much to help her fallen sisters why does n't she start a big sisterhood herself and be at the head ot this organiza tion, to see that these girls have their share of entertainment and en joy some of the good things in life. If she does the orchestra will again donate its services, providing, how ever, they receive an Invitation and they are still an organization. When the orchestra, went to the State Training School they were in"--vlted there by a Hig Brother Elk. If their music helped make bettef men and boys why will not better men fnake better women and better women make better mothers and bet ter mothers make better sons and daughters? If you had known, little suffra gette reporter, would you have made such a protest, become so' disturbed and misjudged the motives, and ef forts of a little band of Salem mu rlclans?
