COMMUNITY ASSETS AND INDUSTRIES Have you ever stopped to con sider the assets of this little com munity of ours? At this Christmas season, when our hearts should be glad and joyous and gratitude for r.ll good should be expressed by each and every one, let us just look "round us and consider those things in our community for which we should be glad. First, we have our Community Club, the aim o f which is to stimu late good will and fellowship among the various districts adjoin ing Estucada; to aid in bettering business and political conditions for our people, and to stimulate civic pride in the general conditions o f our town. Second, our churches, which act as our spiritual guides in keeping our thoughts right with God. Third, our schools, second to none, o f which we are, indeed, proud. It has taken time and mon ey to build them to their present status, but which from now on, in sures us o f the best educational conditions for our children. Fourth, some o f the industries which have and will make Estacada prosperous. Each year hundreds o f boxes o f apples are packed and ship ped to various parts of the United States, some even going farther, being shipped to England, where in the London markets they are dispos ed o f at very good prices. Hun dreds o f pounds o f prunes, both green and dried, are marketed by our farmers, for which they receive rather fancy prices. Then we have the small fruits, berries a£ differ ent varieties, which are harvested in the summer and which bring profit both to the grower and to the boys and girls who help to gather these crops. There are also a number o f peo ple here, who have become well known through the raising o f fine poultry. One sees their name men tioned frequently in poultry maga zines o f the state, which further goes to advertise our district. Then, we have fox-farming, gin seng growing; hUmbers o f acres are also being set out each year to nuts— walnuts, filberts, etc.— which shows much thrift, both fo r the present and future among our citi zens. And, last, but by no means least, the power plants o f this district Which have made our town known to hundreds o f people all over the world, and which from a financial standpoint have aided in giving numbers o f our people steady work, and good economic conditions, thus insuring them both comfort and contentment Yes, we are proud o f our com munity. Let us all do our part in furthering its betterment. EASTERN STAR ELECTS OFFICERS FOR ENSUING YEAR Eastern Star, Mountain Chapter No. 108, elected officers fo r the en suing year.
