COMMUNITY CLUB
ENJOYS FINE PROGRAM
The monthly meeting of the
Eastern Clackamas Community
Club lsst Friday night, proved
one of the best so far enjoyed.
A more varied program than us
ual had been drawn up, which
made the time pass quickly and
pleasantly.
President Stephens called it to
order and spoke, as also did J.
W. Reed, on the recent develop
ments in road matters. It is
stated that the engineers have
agreed to start at this end with
the paving and lay it just as
fast as the base is ready.
Musical numbers interspersed
the speaking; a duett was play
ed by Leta Possen and Thelma
Hay who showed marked pro
ficiency for their age and receiv
ed much deserved applause.
Two special speakers had been
secured by President Stephens
through the good offices of the
Portland Commercial Club sec
retary. These were Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Phillips of ¡Portland
who are doing organizing work
among the lumbermen, repre
senting the L. L. L. L. Mr.
Phillips asked what was the
government going to do for the
farmer and returned soldier?
Henry Ford might go broke and
no one would suffer in particular
but if the farmers failed what
would become of us? He out
lined what the British and Ger
man governments are doing in
housing the returned soldiers and
settling them on a piece of land,
suggesting that something of the
sort be attempted here.
The girls glee club entertained
the audience with a number re
ceiving a deserved encore. Mrs.
Phillips in her talk spoke on
Americanism, its standard of
morals as applied to business and
religion. Miss Nova Smith fol
lowed with a pianoforte selection
which showed she has consider
able musical talent.
W. C.
Schuppel of Portland was called
upon for a few remarks and re
sponded with a brief talk on com
munity cooperation and the need

‘ “The past year has been very
good in the real estate depart
ment of our office,” says S. E.
Wooster, Sr. member of the firm
of S. E. Wooster & Son.
“ We have negotiated a great
many sales in the year of 1919
and from all appearance 1920
will bring something of a boom
in reel estate in this community,
with the road work that is now
laid out to do, and the buitding
that is contemplated for the
coming year, it should be a hum
mer. One of the great problems
that confronts us at this time, is
how to get houses for people to
live in, as all the houses that are
habitable are occupied, and we
are turning people away daily,
not having houses to rent.”

The Prayer Heard
Around the World
With “ the prayer around the
world” the Now Year will be
ushered in. In a t h o u s a n d
t» agues it will be spoken at
Watch-Night services in near
and distant places; in the great
cities of the western world no
less than in distant villages on
eastern hills. It will be heani
by the kneeling woman in a New'
York pew, by the bare-foot I go-
rot headhunter, by Chinese con
verts with bowed heads, by Hin
du women listening reverently
w ith their arms folded crosswise
on their breasts, by Persian,
Japanese, Syrian, Russ, indeed
by all the peoples of the world.
From New York, its starting
point, the prayer has been sent
around the world by the Inter
church World Movement of
North America, a movement to
bring about Protestant coopera
tion.
This prayer is the first ever to
be sent around the world, tne
f.rst ever to be translated into a
thousand languages and spoken
simultaneously in countless pla
ces. With one voice, though in
many tongues, it calls for “ the
elevation of justice and of broth
erhood” and appeals for the
hastening of that “ Kingdom
where justice, mercy and love
shall rule the hearts and hands
of men.”
