IT PROBABLE
Unanimity Blocked by De
sire of Some Towns to
Celebrate July 4
At the Gervais session of the
Marion County Community feder
ation meeting, the fore part of
this week, the matter of a county
pienfc was presented. No definite
action was taken, however, be
cause it was felt that If the picnic
were to be held, as proponed, for
July4, it ought to be unanimous
and without excluding any com
munity that wanted to celebrate
the Fouyh in the old firecracker
way.
Wood burn may celebrate, and
Salem may even enter the race for
a crowd. If a celebration is not
heldjiere. it is proposed that Will
son park and any other municipay
utilities be opened for the county
use, Salem not to be understood
as offering a celebration, but as
offering eiiial rights and responsi
bilities to everybody. This plan
ma 'be followed if Salem and
Woodburn decide to give up the
idea of a special celebration. Ar
rangements will soon be made
and announced if the- federation
approves of this date for a gen
eral picnic.
Salem Heights is to entertain
the next meet ng of the federation
June 14. A full program to intej
est the near-city dwellers as well
as the uenulne townsmen who han
ker for the joys of the country.
j nd whose desires and financial
hold'ng lap over in so intricate a
manner, is beint: prepared. The
Sa!em Heights people have always
been especially Interested in com
munity affairs. and have been
leaders in public meeting that get
their people together for the gen.
eral good, so a rousing meeting is
expected.
' Miss Ethel Fletcher, for the
past year president of the Re
btkah assembly of Oregon, was
Jionored at tfirecent state con
vention of the Odd Fellows and
Kebekahs at Albany when she
was chosen to represent the state
at the national association of Re
bekah assemblies which meets in
Toronto in September.
This is one of the highest hon
ors that can be conferred upon a
member of the order and mem
bers of the lodge feel that Miss
Fletcher is fully entitled to it
because of her untiring efforts
for the good of the lodge during
her presidency.

REGON has announced to all the world
that it has set the stage for a World's Ex
position in 1925.
In order to bring into full! view the
magnitude of such an undertaking, it is
necessary for every resident of this fair
state to realize that such an event can only be as
great and brilliant as its men and women ordain.
Let it, then, be the mission, the inspiration, the thought
of the people of Oregon to point with enthusiastic
pride toward the development of the higfiest intel
lectual achievement that lies within their power. Let
the wealth, refinement and industrial; strength of the
state be poured forth in abundant anray for the world
to behold and enjoy as the spirit of the great West.
Let the people of this great state combine their ef
forts and march as one great army toward the goal the
Atlantic-Pacific Highways and Electrical Exposition
wishes to attain with the same spirit that prompted the
pioneers who blazed the trail of our first civilization.
Let us emulate as one mighty force what God has
wrought in the big, free and open-hearted West, and
where the hand of man has transplanted the new Gar
den of Eden. f
Let us from this hour on proclaim the hame and
fame of the new wonderland that lies west of the
Rockies, and let us consider ourselves, individually
and collectively, bound to the performance of our duty
as citizens to make the Exposition of 1925 one worthy
of the name, triumphant to the end.
To justify our position; to acquaint the world with
our intent; to understand the full meaning of our posi
tion as hosts, let us in unison display this message:
