A meeting is to be held at Bar
ton Saturday afternoon a t 1:30 to
discuss the county budget, es
pecially in regard to roads and
pavement of same.
This is a move in the right dir
ection and everyone in Eastern
Clackamas county, interested in
good roads should be present.
It would be a good thing and is
certainly due this part of the
county, for the people to have
one of the county’s pavement
plants located at some point on
the P. R. L. & P. Co.’s line, and
the same put into operation on
the main highways.
Chaplain Lieut. Givens arrived
home for a short furlough Mon
day evening. He says that prob
ably ninety per cent of the men
at Camp Worden will revive their
discharge within thirty days.
This number will amount to over
2,000. Of the officers some will
be relieved immediately, others
will stay on during the reorgani
zation period, which will take
from two to six months, and the
remainder have signified their
desire to enlist in the regular ar
my. He himself will stay thro-
out the reorganization period.
The flu situation has been most
serious, seven hundred cases with
seventy deaths. Doctors, nurses
and other help were rushed to
death. He served three weeks,
twenty hours a day in the emer
gency hospital. Tho everything

be thankful that so far it has
been practically immune.
To thé American people—
One year ago 22,000,000 Amer
icans, by enrolling as members
of the Red Cross at Christmas
time, sent to the men who were
fighting our battles overseas a
stimulating message of cheer and
goodwill.

U niversity E xtension L ecture
Estacada is especially fortun
ate this week in having from the
University of Oregon, an array
of talent for dramatic readings,
lectures and violin recital. The
object of this gathering is com
munity benefit, enjoyment and
uplift. Rarely can a small com
munity secure such high class
services without great expense,
but when the local schools put
themselves in the way of co-op
erating with the state institu
tions much can be done.
When we consider that the U.
of 0. is sending four prominent
faculty members without charge
to Estacada for the sole purpose
of developing community spirit
and interest, it will be a disap
pointment if every one who is
able to do so, is not present for
the enjoyment of the occasion.

a t this M eeting.
The above association convened
at the High School building, Ore
gon City, Saturday, December
7th. Half the Estacada teachers
were in attendance. The meet
ing was enjoyable and profitable
throughout.
The meeting opened with the
singing of patriotic songs at
10:30 a. m. E. D. Resseler h£ad
of the department of education
O. A. C. then delivered an able
address on the desirability of co
operation and professional organ
ization among the teachers, be
lieving that by such means is a
teacher not only advanced pro
fessionally, but the cause of edu
cation is also given its proper
place in the vocational field.
The principal address of the
afternoon was made by H. H.
Herdman, Principal of the Wash
ington High School on "Discip
line and Morals in the High
School.” Mr. Herdman takes the
view that the development of the
sense of responsibility in the
student is a prime factor in his
moral development, and that the
real aim in such development may
be lost sight of by paying too
much attention to inconsequential
detailB.
An interval of violin music was
moat thoroughly enjoyed by all
after which the high school and
the grade teachers met separate
ly for special discussion of per
tinent problems of school work.
