Kind Friends:
I wish to express my thanks
for the gift of good eats which
you sent me on Hallowe’en. It
brought back the feeling of home-
cheer and the effect of this re­
membrance has given me renew­
ed energy, which only flows from
the heart and enlightens a heart
that makes the soul a happier
one for him to fight life’s battle
with.
Yours in Hope,
O tis C. W agner .
August Longren of The Dalles,
visited his old-time friends, Mr.

The “G reatest M other” concept which was visualized In the fam ous art
poster used by the Am erican Red Cross In its second war fund cam paign
has had Its sym bolism adapted, to the Red C ross w ork of the post-war era
and will illum inate the m ain poster to be used in the Fourth Roll Call Novena»
ber 11-25. T his adaption will bear the title "Still the G reutest Mother la
the W orld.” E veryone is fam iliar with the original “The G reatest Mother la
the W orld,” the effe c tiv en ess of which has been shown In part by the faol
that it has furnished a synonym for Red CrosB that has com e to alm ost •
household term . More than any other sym bol, except the red cross Itself, tha
public has „made It the tradem ark of the American Red Cross.

“ Be it ever so humble, there’s
no place like home.“ So sang
John Howard Payne, who had no
home, in tones which have found
a ready response in the hearts of
the English speaking peoples the
world over. And this is what a
young girl discovered, whose
hard working mother foolishly
thought to make a “ lady” of her
by sending her to a fashionable
boarding school, where she learnt
only the false values of life.
While visiting with some wealthy
friends she nearly became the
victim of a social leach. Fortu­
nately she discovered her danger
in time, and returned to her
home with a truer appreciation
of its worth as well of that of the
home folks. This entertaining
and instructive film will be shown
at the Family Theatre, Saturday
night. Don’t fail to see it.
The Ladies Aid of the M. E.
Church will hold their apron and
doll sale. Saturday, November
20th, in the Odd Fellows’ room
adjoining the store of J. K. Ely.
Everything in the line of kitchen
aprons and some fancy aprons
for Christmas gifts will be on
display as well as beautiful dolls
that will make a happy Christ­
mas for the children. A busi­
ness men’s lunch will be served
at noon. O those lovely cakes,
salads, coffee, baked b**ans and
sandwiches! Everybody will be
welcome.
