The Honor Guards met in the Red Cross room Monday even ing for their regular First Aid class and a short business meet ing. : v ' On Tuesday evening a few of the girls met again to complete the housewives that they are making for the Beaverton boys who left in the last draft. An other evening will be necessary to complete this set. An all day meeting is to be held in the near future and a new set of kits will be started then. Some of these ' will be sent to state headquar ters where they will be sent to the different; camps near. Port land. The rest will be given to the Beaverton boys as they are called.

See Mrs. Rohse at tv e local Red Cross rooms on Wednesday afternoons. Things We Would Like to See in Beaverton On another page we print a list of things that occur to the editor that we should like to see in Beaverton. The list is by no means complete. Wehave left it so purposely. We could think of many other things that would add to the completeness of living here. But we want to give you a chance. What would you like to see? What improvements would you suggest? The Times invites expressions from its readers. In freedom of discussion is often found wisdom of thought. Without it there is seldom thinking at all. In a multitude of opinions there lies for the gleaner the solu- j tion of life's problems. Let us have your counsel. Your thought ' may be the one that provides the awakening. j There is an opportunity awaiting those who claim Beaverton 1 as their home. But this opportunity is not a legacy. It is not like the rain that descendenth alike on the just and the unjust. It is rather the harvest that followeth labor, the sure fruitage that fol lows careful planting and cultivation. For vears residents of Beaverton have had a dream. They have seen thesef fertile acres covered with well-tilled crops. They have seen homes built on idle tends. They have seen the lands they have held so long turned into an income that will render their declining years free from care. That dream may be made to come true. Portland is overflow ing. Those people must go somewhere. They will come this way if we ask them. They will stay here if we make our town inviting. Prosperity is ours if we grasp it. But it is not a heritage. It will not come without the effort on our part. Are you willing to do your part? Let's wake up. Let's get a community spirit that will first put the town in such shape that visitors will be favorably impressed. But right now, let's have your idea of the things that need doingi SCHOOL OPENS SEPT. 16.

Sam, Wouldn't it be a good and patriotic thing for those of us who live close to Beaverton. to get into the Home Guard Com pany, raise the company to at least 100 men and get it federal ized. We would thus learn some thing of the arts of war. We will know the rudiments of drill and will the sooner be able to take our places ipteligently in the du ties assigned us. We will get the benefit of Captain Van An wero's militia training and Lieu, i tenant Dean's four years in the marines. We would all stand a good chftnce of going together, instead of being scattered out among the vast army of five mil lion strangers. . There are other advantages that will arise as drill proceeds and should the war be prolonged to such a time that a majority of the men of this community should be under fire, the advan tages of beine in close company nrill Vta onnaront. tn all.
