"What Is Americanism?" Mrs. Ernest Rarey, national American ism chairman of the American Le glon auxiliary, defines It in this way; "Americanism is that mode of life dedicated to service to our coun try and the adherence to the stand ards and institutions belonging to that which Is American." The Americanism committee of Capital Unit consists of Mrs. E. W. Richey, chairman, Mrs. E. M. Brad ford. Mrs. Walnard Rllppa, Mrs. Irl McSherry and Mrs. A. S. Johnson. The work of this committee Includes all activities pertaining to the per petuation of American Ideals and . upholding the principles of Amerl MfWJF'W&:. .... Ultimatum Acceptance Halts Their War Service The honor of Lithuania, in event of war, would have depended upon many of these cadets, members of the Lithuania National Military school at Kau nas. Lithuania, however, grimly accepted Poland's ultimatum and averted invasion and a possible Eu ropean war. The cadets are shown during a review. Associated Press Photo. can democracy. The Americanism program is educational in character and is divided into three phases- work with the youth, the adult and the community. A thorough knowledge of the Con stitution of the United States is held to be necessary to every citi zen. Believing that many loyal and earnest citizens may be misled through lack of proper knowledge of the fundamentals of our govern ment and that for which the Con stitution stands, the American Le gion auxiliary is emphasizing the study of the Constitution. This year, since we are celebrating its 150th anniversary, the Constitution is be ing studied at each meeting. On Constitution day. Judge Ro&sman delivered a commemorative address to the auxiliary members. The auxiliary observes all patriot ic holidays in their Unit meetings, cooperates with the American Le gion and other groups in the ob servance of National Education week, and donates patriotic litera ture to schools and libraries. In conjunction with the American Le gion, speakers are furnished for public patriotic occasions. The com mittee is keeping in close contact with the naturalization classes so that assistance may be given when needed. A flag code contest, sponsored by the American Legion auxiliary, has Just been completed in the Salem grade schools. 375 flag codes were distributed and corrected by the committee. Washington school won the award, an American flag, for the third consecutive year. Through the Junior auxiliary, composed of 34 girls ranging from six and eigh teen years, the auxiliary is carrying forward many Americanism pro jects and instilling the principles of true Americanism, by combatting all the subversive elements actively at work today in the United States, such as communism, fascism and nazllsm.

March 21 (PI Old raiting tradition was cast into the discard today as police and vol unteer searchers dragged the murky waters of the Susquehanna river lor the bodies of six men believed drowued in the crash of the "last rait" against a bridge pier. One man was dead. He was W. C. Van Scoyoc, 66, of Philadelphia. Missing were Thomas Proffitt Chester, a news reel cameraman; Dr. C. F. Taylor, Burgess of Mont gomery Borough; H. C. Conner, chief pilot of the raft, of Burnslde; Harry Berrlngcr, of Tyrone; Malcolm Mac Farland, of New York, and W. W. Holly, of Bradford. Proffitt was recording the reen actment of old rafting practices when the 112-foot craft, made up of 51 huge white pine "sticks" hurled all but one of its 48 passengers Into the river. In the "old days," which a small group of elderly former rlvermen and descendants of lumbermen and raftsmen were trying to recreate by a 200-mile voyage to Harrlsburg, the death of a member of the crew never halted the voyage. Levy (Bud) Conner of Glen Campbell, builder of the raft and brother of the missing chief pilot. said the trip would be resumed af ter repairs were made today. But Coroner Dr. Thomas C. Bran. don declared the craft could not leave Its mooring place until after he completed an Investigation. The raft struck the pier head on.

GRIFFITH Portland General electric Company Electric Building Portland. Oregon Harch 16, 1938 To tb Voters of tha Proposed Northwest Oregon Bonnerllle People's TJtlllty District; ALL SAVINGS DERIVED FROM PURCHASE 0? BONNEVILLE ENERGY WILL BE PASSED ON TO OUR CUSTOMERS. The citizens of Oregon end especially those within reasonable transmission dis tance from BonneTllle desire to secure for themselves any savings that may reasonably be expected from utilization of the output of Bonneville. It should be of Interest to you what such savings may represent and how they may be best secured without loss of any advan tages the consumers now enjoy. The two principal elements of cost In producing hydro electric energy are Interest and taxes. Comparatively few men are required to operate and the plant will consume no ex pensive materials. Ordinarily, Interest must be earned upon the entire Investment in a hydro electric plant if such a plant were built by private capital. In the case of Bonne ville, the Interest rate proposed Is only Z and such Interest will be computed upon only Jll, 682 ,400 of the total present investment of $53,188,800. Not one dollar of the Federal Investment at Bonneville will be subject to taxation. The Government by allocating (42,000,000 of the present investment to navigation ana oy exempting its property from taxation will have an annual fixed charge of $2,905,380 less than would be paid If the plant were built by private capital. It Is due to figuring Interest on less than one-fourth the present investment , and entire freedom from taxation that makes possible the low cost of generating Bonneville power of which you have heard so much. lir. Ross, Administrator of the Bonneville project, has repeatedly declared that the cost of generation of electric energy is a very small fraction of the total cost of delivering the energy to the meter of the average consumer and he has said, as might be expected from any competent electrical engineer, that If the cost of generation were nothing It would mean only a few mills per kilowatt hour in the charge made to the average consumer; he correctly states that by far the greater cost is in transmission and distribution, which, In the case of the domestic customers of the Seattle municipal plant, Mr. Ross declares to be about seven times the cost of generation. This company end Its subsidiaries, Yamhill Electric Company and Molalla Electric Company, will pass on to its and their customers any and all savings that may result from the purchase of Bonneville energy. He are interested in the progressive Federal development of the navigation and power possibilities of the Columbia River to the end that our cus tomers end other potential users of Columbia River energy may be assured of a bountiful supply of permanently low cost electric energy made possible only by the prosecution of the Government's plans for Improving the navigability of the Columbia River and the development of power as incident thereto. No competent authority has given you any assurance that the formation of a publlo utility district will result in electric rates lower than tho8e you now have. In the setting up of Rural Electrification Projects throughout the country, the Federal agency in charge thereof has prescribed rates substantially higher than are now in force throughout the territory served by our company. There is no provision in the publlo utility law whereby any taxes can be Imposed upon publlo utility districts formed thereunder and this means the taxes no longer pwld by the private utilities must necessarily fall as an addl-1 tlonal burden upon the Individual taxpayers. Bear in mind that the taxable property of the private utilities is continually Increasing as service is expanded and the increasing tax contribution of the utilities steadily grows in importance, We urge you to vote NO on April 8th to preserve the advantages you now have and such additional advantages as may result from the building of Bonneville, rather than to embark upon a turbulent sea In which the only certain thing Is that your taxes will be ln creased. vry truly yours, FRANKLIN T. GRIFFITH President. H U
