We had the weather jotted down at a topic lor discussion
.sometime in August when Hitler was on vacation and every
i L one was just too tired to caret much whether :the New Deal

: tions that the proposeLdate was too long away; old Jupiter
J'Pluvius has apparently gone on WPA and sat down in tho
Xshade or taken off on a flight around the world and forgot

Hinarilv those beantifnl summer
v cera tripping on the green makes Jape ireful and while the
queen and her court are saddened the cherry growers and the
forest owners smile. But May day failed to provoke rain: and
so did Mother's day and if Memorial day has no influence we
admit complete bafflement Then the only remedy will be to

old Uolonel Holer or pernaDS lei we rapidiy momuunx ua

If all these perennial remedies fail, then Oregon is in for

; forests and every timber owner will be in mortal fear all sum
mer long lest a casnal cigarette butt send a lifetime, mvest-
ment into oblivion. The farmers are already fearful that rain
or no rain, the crop prosoects for .1939 are dolefuL We had
thought some of resurrecting a shelter-belt law and asking
i our republican senators to change face and push it through
the congress but time is of the essence in this weather situa
tion and we are stymied there. It's a wry sort of optimism to
consider that if fruits and berries and the field crops are
light this summer the canners may unload their sural us in-
i ventories and the producer may get higher priced for the 1939
! yield. In that respect Mother Nature is more harsh than any
AAA plan or marketing ouota. v H . : - .

Weatherman Wells down at Portland reobrts that the drouth

has fallen since then) breads all records in his department

make some records of bis own If the matter jft issue were a
simple matter like a Euroneah war or how to provide the

4 Mother's day againl There is something significant about
that "aflrain." We have observed Mother's day the second Sun
day in May year after year. It may be that last year we wore
the red carnation. . . this year the white. Mother's day comes
year after year-smother does not remain with us forever, ex
cept in loving remembrance. - .
I" ff The chances are that to each man and woman who gives
a thought to Mother's day, it has a merited significance; their
mothers Imust have been good, wise and devoted. There have
been mothers who possessed none of these virtues except per
haps the transitory protective instinct which they shared
with the mothers of the lower
mothers probably ignore Mother's day. . Is it amiss to men
tion such things on this occasion? Is it not true, rather, that
the honor we bestow today uoon cood mothers is the greater
because virtue, wisdom and devotion are not merely the uni
yersal qualities of motherhood
sessed, independent of the fact
f Most men and women who are so fortunate as to havp
had: good mothers, remember them on Mothers day, m
thought or m deed, appropriately according to whether they
wear the white, or the red carnation. But it may be that the
whole-hearted observance of
enough in life. Children, a radio-speaking psychologist re
marked recently, do not love their parents instinctively: and
while an affection born of dependence develops early, it is
possible that at times it Is disturbed later by the necessities
of family discipline and by the human propensity to "take
for granted.
f'4 Why take for granted,
mother? It is not for her to command it Perhaps it Is the fa
thers place to explain and Emphasize the mother's devotion
and sacrifices and sometimes he may be too busy, or not suf
ficiently "close to the children
ively. The school, the Sunday
organizations dealing with young people, all may have a part
in the early development of anpreciation of mother. . . in or

Oetetay Thsmfsne which led him
to "do; Just what he has done,
even more Interesting. For. Mr.
Hoess began by considering a
specific problem and he started
his thinking process by contei
platlng not the ideal house but
the actual client for whom the
house waa ' to be built. . -
Mr. Hoess wanted to build
houses for working men.' 80 he
first of all took Into account the
economic, social, and psycholog
ical facta concerning .working
men. He toted up on the ledger
of his mind the assets and lia
bilities of working mea -as buy
ers ot nouses.
First of ail,
working man is
savings and no
whatsoever. If
he argued, a
a man wl'a no
assured income
he has savings
he is an exception. Working men
do not save - except t to pay for
something specific, i The work
ing man Is employed bj the houi
or the day or the week. He has
no annual .income. If he Is em
ployed full time Mr. Hoess was
considering workers in Gary and
Hammond, Ind. he earns from
S2S to ISO a week, on an uver
age. But he may be at any
moment employed on half time,
or part time, or not at alL
Therefore, argued : Mr. Hoess.
no worker under ' present tondl
tions and Mr. Hoess was not
arguing about the conditions, he
was Just thinking about housing
to meet the conditions there
lore, no worker can justly be
held to any rigidly fixed charges
whatsoever,, since he has no
guaranteed income - for,, even a
year ahead. .
e e e
What assets haa the worker
got? Mr. Hoess argued in his
mind. Let's not worry whether
they are the kind of assets usual
ly entered on ledgers:
Well, he has time. He has
more time than any worker haa
ever had in history. It he Is
fully employed he works in
that region a forty-hour week.
That means he has leisure. Leisure-time
activity, he ruminated,
consists in doing something you
want to do which you tren't
compelled to do.
What else has the worker got?
Usually skillful hands. He Is s
man accustomed to using his
hands, and is clever with them.
What else has he? Transpor
tation. Either he has some kind
of a . car, or his neighbors and
friends have, or there, is a bus
line near by, or other means of
collective . transportation. He
doesn't need to live shoved up
against the factory.
e e o
What does he want? Hoess
asked himself.
He does not want to be in
debt, burdened with a greater
debt than he can see the end
of. He doesn't want to mort
gage his life for thirty or forty,
years. He does went a decent
home for his children in a de
cent community. He wants to
own property. (Mr. Hoess is con
Tiacea tnat tne passion to own
property la a basic human pas
sion.! He wants that property to
bring him in something as well
as cost him something. He does
n't want to get something for
nothing, and he has no respect
for or trust in anybody who of
fers him something for nothing.
ne wants security.
y Mr. Hoess now proceeded to
meet the demands of s market
ot workmen Inside the actual
conditions ot their lives. Half
way between Gary and Hammond
he began putting up houses on

main highroad with a bus -line.
The property Is fifteen miles

plot is one acre large.
ur. moess arguee . that if a
man nas an acre of land be can
get something from It. He can
grow vegetables, small fruits,
keep chickens or rabbits. Mr,

Hoess decided. Anybody who
sells him a house costing more
la selling him a gold irlck.
8ooner or later he is going to
default and lose ala equity.
At this' price you cannot af
ford to offer a very luxurious
dwelling. But you can ffer
something better then the work
er has ever had and Mr. Hoess
is a realist. So he built "basic
houses. The 11600 house Is
firmly built - of steel siding and

experimenting to see which fs

living room, two bedrooms, a
small room for a bath, but with

toilet and an unllnLhed attic

It Is not painted nor la the
Interior decorated. It has a
small furnace and is wired for
electricity, but has no fixtures.

Mr. Hoess ' reckons that the
owner of. the house can do these
things - himself the painting,
