We are having a few new cases of influenza since the ban has been lifted and we are anxious to keep such control of it that it may not become, necessary to close our schools. If the people of the community will cooperate with the teachers and doctor we hope this will be possible. So we would ask again that you allow no child to attend school who complains of any illness, it makes no difference if it may seem to be only a slight cold. It is best to play "Safety First" for the good of the school rather than have the credit of exposing so many others. Often children will not tell you when they are feeling ill but the teachers are going to observe all children and ask them to return home if they appear to be not so well. If your child is requested to return home for a few hours and it should de velop later to be a false alarm please remember that the mis take is made with the very best of intentions and for the good of the com unity. m In homes where influenza ex ists it would be safest to keep all children from that house out of school until such time as the dis ease seems no longer contagious, that is we shall sav 4 or 5 days after everyone in the house has recovered. Children who have had the influenza and after re covering seem to have rather a severe cough should not attend school until the cough is better. Secretions from the mouth and lung passages are infectious. In homes where influenza exists and even if no children from that ' home get the influenza it is bet ter to fumigaie before children Want a -turkey for Christmas? If you want a fine turkey .one of the milk-fed kind for your Christmas dinner, go down ,to George Thyng's confectionery and learn about the big fat tur key gobbler which Mrs. Donald son gave to the Red Cross and which you may have for 25 cents if you guess right. j HIGH SCHOOL NOTES. - The debating league met in , Room 2 Monday for the purpose ;of organizing a society in this 'school. Miss Florence Snider, president, Miss Edna Hocken as secretarv and treasurer com .bined, Mr. Jonas was chosen as general manager. We hope that 'they can show us some renl pep in debating. Miss J. Leiser having been ill with the "flu", is in dancer of 'losing her position as teacher j because of the many new teach ers sprinpring up during her ab sence. Among them, Georfe Thompson, Edna Hocken, Tbel ma Pegg, and many others too numerous to mention. The Domestic Art C'as is working on bed bags for the Red i Cross. A new system of orating has been formed by which those de serving are excused from the last sfr'dy period from 3:25 to 4:00. The system is considered those who pet out at 3 :25. It consists of giving slips to the students who ret their lessons perfect during the Ax. Even those dear TYesbie's havo ttip ffpr. Take Notice ! A Radio Club has been formed at Beaverton High School bv a number of boys interested in this work. Theofficers are: Ar thur Nygant. president; Geo. Thompson, vice president and Austin Delk chief electrician. They will soon be experimenting and sending messages. The General Science class has proved quite an attraction as shown by the way the "Fresh ie's" are clamoring for admit tance. The- Freshie's are planning on giving the upper classmen the long promised party real soon. The High School student body fwill give an entertainment soon ,for the benefit of the student body treasury. A notice of the date will be given later.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (California) College Bees eet Warm Winter Home. Plenty of room, stores, and protection from unfavorable weather, is the slogan that has been applied to the record bee colonies at the Oregon Agricul tural College, bv A. L. Lovett, entomologist. The colonies that laid un a large honey surplus have been snuglv and safely parked away for the winter. "Some method of protection against the extremes of temper ature of Eastern Oregon and the excessive moisture of Western Oresron is essential," declares Professor Lovett. "Single colonies mav be wran- ,ped with old newspapers and covered with roofinc paper or simile material. Colonies may be packed in groups of four or more stands surrounded bv a laro-e frame filled with sawdust and covered with a waterproof lid" The exact te of nrotectfon defends iroon the system of lo cating the colonies follower! Vv the individual bee-keeper, points out Professor Lovett.' Sutrsres tions on solving the wintering nroblems are contained in a cir cular which may be had by writ ing to the College.

PROVED SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY Voluntary Basis of Food Saving Showed Heart of America Beat True tor Freedom. To the voluntary service and aacrt Uce of the American people mast be attributed the continued health, strength and morale of the Allied ar mies and the civil populace. Upon this spirit of service and sae riflce will depend Europe's fate in the months to come. In the past year we have carried out an export program, the magnitude of which la almost be yond comprehension. But with tho new demands that have come, with the liberation of nations freed from German oppression, our exports must be almost doubled. Instead of 11,820, 000 tons, we must ship twenty million tons of food to Europe In the coming year as much as can be pushed through our ports. If the Allies had not been fed by America, It would have been Impos sible for them to maintain their de fense against Germany. Meeting this world need on a purely voluntary basis, the American people have conclusively proved that democ racy Is a success ana that in time of need It will rise to Its own defense. If there were no other accomplish ment to Its credit the very fact that it has shown the strength of democracy has In itself more than Justified the existence of the Food Administration in the eyes of the world. Less than four months after the United States declared war the United States Food Administrator expressed his determination to meet America's food problem on a basis of voluntary action and reiterated his confidence thut awakened democracy would prove Irresistible. 1 "Many thinking Americans," said Mr. Hoover, "and the, whole world have been watching anxiously the last four months In the fear that demo cratic America could not organize to meet autocratic Germany. Germany has been confident that It could not be done. Contrary proof is immediately at our door, and our people have al ready demonstrated their ability to mobilize, organize, endure and prepare voluntarily and efficiently in many ai rections and upon the mere word of Inspiration aside from the remarkable assemblage of our Army and finances." The history of the Food Administra tion has clearly shown that the trust of those who put their faith In democ racy has not been misplaced.
