n I pi f " fhs OREGON STATESMAN, Calera, Oregon, Jriday Elornis-, Ss?tcnbcr 18, Private R Urged by F. R. "31 obilization for Human Needs" Hears Federal Aid Redaction Hint , -WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-(ff)- Sounding a keynote for America's ' "1936 mobilization for hum a a needs," President Roosevelt ealfl todT that "returning; prosperity heightens the obligation! of erery individual to aid the distressed In his community. Before an assembly of commun ity -cheat leaders planning their annual fund-raising effort, he added that "the cooperation siren by the federal government In social welfare activities extends rather than contracts the respon sibility of private activities for local relief.'? Gerald Swope, president of the General Electric company and chairman of the mobilization, later announced the president had ' suggested a 10 per cent Increase in community chest . goals this year. " ; The mobilization will begin No- vember 6, after the presidential election. Need rrlvato Work Sentiment for continued private welfare work pervaded the con ference, which Mr. Roosevelt ad d ressed from the south portico of the White House. From the lawn below this White House "back poTch," women delegates went to the ex ' ecu tire mansion's state dining room, where they adopted a reso lution stating the "voluntary and u nof f iclal" welfare agencies should be carried on. Mrs. Roosevelt, who had ex- nected to receive the women and to participate in the conferences, -vas confined to her, room by what the president described as "a slight touch of. flu." He expressed regret that she could not be at his side, and then he read his prepared speechr " , "Returning prosperity,'. he ,aid. "means that you have a rUht to expect greater assistance Tor your splendid work in every " community." "Returning prosperity means, however, that a vast amount of important work which all of us had to defer during the depres sion years, can and must be taken up anew." In Better Position "As I told you In former years, when human distress reaches the' point that government assistance is necessary, government up to the . limit of its local, its state and its federal resources must and does act. "Happily, -private organizations are now In a better position to accomplish greater things than for many years past. Increase in prosperity . heightens the obliga tion of every individual to aid in the relief of distress in his or her community." Mr. Roosevelt asserted the na- j tional income soon will.be double what It was at the low point of the depression, and that confi dence had returned to all "except a small minority who Beek to profit from the preaching fear." of Huge Plans Here Saturday, Sunday The largest all-metal Ford tri motor airplane ever built will be at the Salem airport Saturday and Sunday, it was announced yesterday by W L.

Lower Gas Rates For Certain Uses Refrigeration and Water Heating Cost v Reduced -Company Announces Reduced gas rates -for auto matic water heating and refrig eration were announced here yes terday by Lelf Bergsvik, Willam ette valley district manager for Portland Gas A Coke company. Gas cooking customers are also offered' a new j combination rate, which is supplementary to ' the company's existing low rates for combined cooking, water heating and house heating service he said. Promotional, in character, the new rates will mean substantial saving to customers immediately affected and will open the way to large additional savings, to those who take' advantage of the offer, said Mr. Bergsvik. ' "The new schedules make gas la every way the most economical fuel for automatic water, heat ing. Mr. Bergsvik stated. "This holds true whether a gas auto matic water' heater is' the only appliance used or whether the customer has also a gas range, gas furnace, gas refrigerator or other gas appliances, ., "Calculations, under the , new rates show that a customer, now using only a gas automatic water heater can use on the average 40 per cent more -gas for the same money he has been paying." Added Cost Slight The sew, combination schedule makes it possible for a gas auto matic water heating customer to add . gas for cooking and refrig eration at a small monthly cost, according to Mr. Bergsvik. Cus tomers having only a gas refrig erator also will get their gas on the new rates. Two new types of rates cover ing the services affected have been filed with the Oregon public utilities commissioner and the Washington department ot public works. They became effective yesterday. :- One of the new schedules offers reduced operating costs to customers using gas for automatic water heating or. refrigeration, or both, on a year-around basis. In the Willamette valley district this rate is $1.05 for the first 1000 cubic feet used per month and 85 cents per 1000 for excess use. Radiantfires and other incidental space heating equipment may also be served on this schedule where a gas automatic water heater or gas refrigerator is in use. For year- around automatic water heating or refrigeration in combination with cooking, cus tomers in the Willamette valley area are offered the first 1800 cubic feet of gas used in a month for 3. The next 2700 cubic feet per month is 90 cents a thousand and excess use is at 80 cents a thousand. Problem Is Gentle's Topic : Courses of study are merely guides, and teachers must use their ' own resources in finding material which will strike a re sponsive chord in the pupil's mind, Thomas H. Gentle, for many years connected with the Oregon Normal school, told mem bers of the Salem Lions club at their luncheon Thursday. The "born" teacher knows how to reach the pupil's interest, and the others must learn this secret or pupils will become soured on school work. Prof. Gentle said. The school system has become a "museum" of courses because little has ever been dropped from the course of study since there are always objections, while at the same time new currieular material is readily adopted.
