PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY, QUADRUPLE BOTH
POPULATION AND PROSPERITY, SAYS UPJOHN
Prize-Winning Letter In Gale & Co. 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

pression that her unfortunate sis
ters have been neglected by some of
the musicale, big brotherhood and'
charitable organizations of this city.
- The members of a certain orches
tra who have been playing. for a lo
cal church, think she was a little
hasty in making such protests re
garding the apparent neglect of her
fallen sisters.

and ascertained why some of these
organizations were at the peniten
tiary, the state hospital, the state
training school for boys, she would
not have been quite so rash In pass
ing judgment.
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?
