Repeal of the 18th amendment was on&'issue which drew many votes to Roosevelt: and the de feat of many former "dry" senators and congressmen indi cas that some form of repeal measure will be submitted to th states for ratification. The popular vote here in Oregon rri&ihe repeal of the Anderson act is another sign that thcountry is ready for a change of policy in the handling of pie liquor question. The defeats are crushing for the dries on iiioth the local and the national fronts. $ The question now shifts to this : what will the wets do xrim their victory? They have done lip.-service to "true tem peBSnce". They hve dfcried the return of the saloons. Even theydemocratic platform expresses the desire to protect dry territory.

BITS for BREAKFAST By R. J. HENDRICKS- First Congregational church: 80th anniversary of founding: S The first response to the Mace donian call of the Indiana of the westernmost west was by the Methodist missionary society In 1834, when Jason Lee and hie party came and began, Oct. 8, the erection of their first rude log cabin 10 miles below the site of Salem. Next to respond were the Amer ican Board missionaries, Rev. Samuel Parker and Dr. Marcus Whitman starting and proceeding in 182 S as far as the rendezvous of that year on Green River, near where Fort Brldger was after ward built. There Dr. Whitman turned back to seek reinforce ments and Rev. Parker came on to choose mission sites. The fol lowing year Dr. Whitman and Rev. H. H. Spalding and their brides and W. H. Gray came, and established missions at Walilatpa and Lapwal. S At that time the American Board of Foreign Missions repre sented the Congregational, Pres byterian and Dutch Reformed churches, afterwards and sine the Congregational denomination only. ? m V Followed the Catholics two years later. The Methodists were first in this field, the Oregon country of pre-pioneer and pio neer times, in the opening of ehurches, and the Congregation al lsts second in establishing Pro testant church organisations. m The oldest Oregon country church of the Congregational de nomination is at Oregon City, or ganized in 1844 by Harvey Clark, independent missionary, who also set on foot educational matters at Forest Grove, In cooperation with Grandma Tabltha Brown, and or ganized a church there these un dertakings making . the . founda tions of Pacific university.

Daily Health Talks By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. A1 f T some time or other every one of us suffers from head ache. I can think of no other minor ailment that causes so much discomfort, or is so annoying and often dim cult to cure. Some persons are susceptible to headache, while others are rarely, if ever, sufferers from it. A definite as of head s' found ia some families is known as, "mi graine," and this is believed to be hereditary. torn of some disturbance of the body. It may follow an irritation of the nerves of the face or head, or it may be caused by anemia, high blood pressure, kidney disease, sinusitis or defective eyesight. Constipation, digestive disturbances, faulty pos ture in walking or axandinc. and uterine diseases in women, are other causes of headache. It ia interesting to note that head ache was aptly described by the ancient Greeks. Headaches . were believed to be due to evil snirits within the head, and the ancients treated them by boring small holes in the skull so that the "spirits" might escape and no longer tor ment the afflicted individual. Reeurrine attacks of neadaefce can be cured only when the under lying cause is determined, but -in many instances this is difficult. All sufferers from chronic headache should consult with their physicians rather than resort to home reme dies. A complete physical examine-' tion, including urinalysis, ia advised ia every such case. The diet is important It should be simple and wholesome. Salts. peppers, spices and condiments should not be taken. Avoid all fried and greasy foods. Drink plenty of water ; Constipation Is a frequent and often neglected cause of headache. When bowel or kidney elimination is faulty, the excess of poisons ia absorbed into the system. Correc tion must be made before relief csa be expected. Headache and eye-strain can be traced to improper eye-glasses ot the lack of glasses. If younave been advised to wear glasses, do not im pair your health by refusing; . te wear them. . i . I nave often overheard persons attribute their headaches to faulty eyesight, yet I wonder how many of them wear the necessary glassea. It really ia a shame that we are so sensitive about spectacles. They are not so bad, after all. If el ciency is decreased by reason of eye-strain, are we. not foolish te spurn them? Why coatiane to have headaches If they are so simply cored? r V V-.' - ': .:: -t ins. Uonallats, settled ia the forest that was on the site of Portland. The Oregon City church at that time had only eight members. Rev, Geo. H. Atkinson, sent as a Congregational missionary i n 1847, preached the first time in Portland in 1849, in a log house used as a shingle factory. His con gregation raised 82000 and built a school house, to be at the ser vice of all denominations for re ligious services; Congregational members to preach every two weeks. When Rev. Lyman arrived, he began teaching and preaching In this school house. The town proprietors offered him a lot, and he chose it in the forest at the then end of Second street; se cured subscriptions aggregating IS 000, and began the erection of a church bunding 32 by 48. Rev. Lyman himself worked on the Duuaing, Decame sick witn over exertion, and others came to his aid and the structure was dedl cated June 15, 1851. Ten mem bers organized the First Congre gational church of Portland. In 1850, only about 50 members were in the Congregational churches of Oregon 25 at Tuala tin Plains (Forest Grove), 14 at Oregon City, 8 at Milwaukie, and 8 at Calapooya, where Rev. H. H, Spalding had organized a church, Rev. Geo. H. Atkinson visited the east in 1862 for Congregation al missionary reinforcements, and the result was the appointment ot Thomas Condon and Obed Dick inson as missionaries to Oregon. the former to St, Helens and the latter to Salem. A church had been organised In the then capital of Oregon, on July 4, 1852, the particulars of which will follow. The two missionaries arrived in Oregon in March. 1858. by the bark Trade Wind, from New York Bancroft's Oregon History says: -soon alter tne arrival of Dick inson, W. H.

"Barney wants to see you and Pidge at his house tonight," Bob Walsh told Ted. "Ill drive you dowa." "I want to tell you what I've al ready told Bob," Barney said. He was lying in bed. "It looks like I'm in for a lot of hard luck. If we are going anywhere at aU, yoo fellows will have to give everything you've got Pidge, you're captain; youH have to get the boys to gether. Ted, I've taught yon every thing I know about strategy; and Bob's going to leave things pretty much ap to you ia the pinches. And yoo help Pidge get the boys straightened out" They left with tears straggling to get out the tears which best prepare for a difficult job. It wasn't right to lay Barney low like that just when he needed his strength most Oa the train Pidge gathered Pat, Brute, Stone, SheeU, Ted and Clark together in a drawing room. "Fellows," he said. "I'm not go ing to hand yoo a lot of turkey about Barney well probably get enough of that but I figure it's up to s to forget our private affairs daring the season. "The Old Man's ia bad shape lie don't know when he'll get back to as. Bob hasn't been back here coaching long enough to step io his spot without all the help we can give him.

They looked embarrassed ;k the silence was heavy. Ted broke it "I think most of this situation has come from yoo and me. Stone. Yoo can think what yoo want about me; and when the season's over we caa start aB over again if we feel that way, but right now. here's my hand. O. K. with me, Wynne anti the season ends, anyhow."

That was New Dominion foot ball; the Blue Comet had shed its anchor and was making its danger ous way through the sky. Ted kicked the goal tied the score. In the third period, after another charge, Pidge plunged through from the four-yard line for another touchdown. After that when the line bad checked the Middy charge, Ted Wynne was a one-man defense ia the backfield. He intercepted the frantic Navy aerials; played safe on the offense and then kicked the baU into coffin corner. It's tough to score against a gams like that Back home, at the radio, Barney smiled.

" There are ot record at least three notable celebrations of -the First Congregational church, marking the lapse of time since its organization of its 21st and 50 th and Its 80th birthdays. "e The last named celebration took place on Sunday, the 16th of Oc tober, and Monday, the 17th; main events held over from the July 4th date, on account of the true time falling during the vaca tion period. Letters of Invitation were sent to many former mem bers, and to absent prior pastors. with responses from points cover ing a wide territory. An important one was from Mrs. .Edna D. Ray mond, which follows and will ex plain Itself, the date line being South San Franelsco, Cel., Octo ber 12, 1932, and the recipient Miss Oda Chapman ot Salem: S .
