Christmas trade the merchants have already en joyed, and on general reports of business trends. To some extent the latter estimate may be based upon what business the depart ment stores and similar establish ments enjoyed in September. Oddly enough, September and December, here in the Willam ette valley, pretty well balance each other from year to year, not only in the ratio of each to other years, but in actual volume of : buslness. .

G. Dubach, dean of men at OSC. Dr. Dubach's address concerned what people should do for their country. He listed several of this country's advantages and told the group that they must strive for the survival of ideals. The discussion took up many topics. Including i our neutrality, a third term for President Roose velt, mixture of ; races and the wearing ofunlforms by foreign sponsored organizations in this country. Dr. Erb told a large group 61 the boys that there were three policies the United States could follow in the present world situa tion. Isolation as one method, he said, would not be satisfactory for economic reasons. The present neutrality will be sufficient if not tampered with, he told them. In volvement, Dr. Erb stated, would be most disastrous unless we were Invaded. , Following his talk, a discussion was held on the Implications of the three. Three boys were selected at an afternoon meeting to head tem porarily the area Hi-Y council, which will receive its final forma tion at a meeting to be called soon. Don McKimmon ot Carlton, chairman.
