of Pacific Luther college at Park
land, Wash., paid tribute to the
pioneers, among whom were his
parents, the late Tingelstads. Dr.
Tingelstad referred to the first
sermon, the seed of the present

Ixist Days pn DeArmond Farm
Will Be Marked by Barbecue
MONMOUTH Farmers living in the frea including Suver,
Wells and Airlie, whose homes have been absorbed into the
cantonment, Camp Adair, have for months been turning over
their land,-farm by farm, to the government to comprise the
cantonment quota of acreage.
Included among farms so turn
ed over is that of the C J, DeAr
mond family near Suver. Their
farm of several : hundred acres
has been the home of Carl De
Armond for nearly 50 years. As
a final gesture of the genial hos
pitality for which this farm home
and its owners have long been
noted, Mr. and Mrs. DeArmond
and their daughters, Immolene
and Carle'ta, will be hosts on Sun
day for a barbecue dinner to
which more than -1000 friends,
neighbors and relatives have been
invited.
The DeArmond family has
many representatives throughout
Oregon and a majority of them
follow vocations connected with
the soil. Carl DeArmond, has
farmed all his life. As a boy of
10 he was orphaned and went.to
live with his oldest brother, O.
H. DeArmond, on this same farm
near Suver, about 8 miles south
west of Monmouth. When the
brother died some years ago, Carl
continued the farm program of
diversified grain and sheep pro
duction. ;
When- the family moves this
month they will go to another
farm, purchased within the past
year, between the Oak Point and
Greenwood sections in Polk coun
ty. They are leaving a fine home
one of the handsomest farm resi
dences in Polk county, but art
adjusting their lives to the
changes required in selling their
land to the government for a
military camp.
They have planned a colorful
day of entertainment, visitini
and recreation, for and with their
many friends on Sunday, before
moving to their new home, which
is much nearer to Salem.
