HONOR GUARD NOTES.
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.
The irls are all very enthu
siastic over their Bir Show
which comes off this (Friday)
eveninor. Those who saw Doug
Fairbanks in "Headin"
South" when it was shown in
Portland sav it is one of his best
films. Nearlv evervone of them
is anxious to see it again and
have purchased their tickets.
Besides the film there is a pro
pram consisting of readings,
songs and instrumental music.
J It is an evening's entertainment
that will appeal to everyone
young and old alike.
The admission prices are,
adults 25 cents and children 15
cents.
There are still some garments
for the French and Belgium chil
dren which the ladies may take
" home -and make. 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

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
