Greater Clackamas Union
Of Clubs Holds Meeting
On Saturday evening at the Esta
cada pavillion in beautiful Estacada
park some two hundred and fifty
und three hundred members and
friends of the Greater Clackamas
Union o f Clubs met and enjoyed a
dinner and meeting long to be re
membered.
The setting was ideal, for tho,
the day had been unusuully warm,
in the large open air pavillion every-
one was comfortable which made it
possible for them to enter into the
meeting happy, enthusiastic and in
terested.
[
The first number on the program
|
was the most tempting dinner
[
served by Mr. Moore of The Esta
j
cada, assisted by a corps of efficient
helpers and was thoroughly enjoyed.
The meeting proper was opened
j by Mr. Schrock, vice-president, and
in a pleasing jovial manner intro
duced several speakers w h o s e
speeches were short, concise and to
the point, and thus proved interest
ing to their listeners.
M.r H. C. Stephens, mayor o f Es
tacada, welcomed the visitors in a
fine manner and Mr. Lindas o f Or
egon City responded most gracious
ly.
Among the other speakers called
upon during the evening were Mr.
Taylor of Molalla who is always a
big booster for our county, Mr.
Chindgren o f Colton whose talk was
filled with many witticisms which
were greatly enjoyed and by Mr.
Holt, County Agent, who gave many
helpful hints along the line of agri
culture and markets.
Prof. Gary of West Linn gave a
short address depicting the fin
points o f interest in Clackamau
county and the possibilities of oui
county by further advertising and
development of the organization
then took charge of the meeting and
introduced Mr. David Horner, the
director of the Estacada choral so
ciety, and the society itself who
sang two numbers and wei'e indeed
well received. Mrs. Harold Horner
was the accompanist for these num
bers.
Mr, Chindgren pointed out the
fact that Estacada and vicinity
should be very proud of the mu
sical talent in evidence here and
the appreciation o f better music in
any community was a wonderful
item among its people.
The Estacada band rendered sev
eral numbers during the dinner, also
played several numbers on the street
prior to the meeting which seemed
to pep the crowd up to the highest
degree. The public is ever grateful
to the band for its services.
A committee was appointed from
the organization to wait upon the
county court with a resolution per
taining to Market roau No. 35,
adopted at this meeting.
The county fair board invited this
powerful organization to meet at the
County la ir grounds on Friday,
Sept. 24, for a big booster meeting
and the organization gladly accepted
the invitation.
Mr. Ames, the “ Father” ot this
Union o f Clubs was called upon tor
a talk in which he was asked to re
view the work of the organization
and the History ot same for the year
which he kindly and efficiently did.
He especially emphasized the -fact
that we must ever make these meet
ings non-poiiticai if they were to
prove successful and he was assured
that the officers in charge were put
ting forth every effort to keep pol
itics out and would do so in the fu
ture.
A rising vote of thanks was given
the Estacada Community club and
Mr. Bob Cooke, I'rcsident, for their
efforts in maxing this meeting such
a grand success and for the splend
id hospitality displayed.
The audience sang the Oregon
Booster song, "Oregon Suits Me,”
i to the tune of Battl, Hymn o f the
Republic in a most spirited manner.
Representatives were p r e s e n t
from Canby, Molalla, Colton, Ore
¡ gon City, Gladstone, Milwaukie, Oak
Grove, Carver, Oak Lawn, Spring-
water and numerous other communi
ties of the county.
it was a big day for Estacada and
we will have many more such fine
big meetings if we all boost together
and work in unison on the various
projects and propositions possible in
our community.
