Since the days of president
Adams, when his wife hung the
family wash in the East room
and a cow was kept in the base­
ment, the White House has been
the residence of the president.
At receptions, ice water is pour-
ed from silver pitchers on wnich

House". Now,.under the present
administration, the White House
is to become just another of dec

comrpodate the steadily increas­
ing staff of clerks . handling
White House business, and the
suggestion does not meet with
general approval.
The White House has been an
institution in Washington, D. C.
It has been the center of offic’al
dom. It has been surrounded by
stone mansions in which lived
Dolly Madison (first to serve ice
cream in the White House), the
home of Dekatur, hero of the war
with the Tripolean pirates, and
of many others who have gained
fame in American history. But
the White House itself sits in a
largf lawn, looks like a southern
mansion and is the place wnere
a president has not only his of­
fice but his home Making of
the White House an office build­
ing grates on the nerves.
In the neighborhood there is
ample room for purchasing a
site and erecting a modern office
building where the White House
staff could h e accommodate l
without encroaching on the res
idence of the highest executive.
It was «built for a home and so
remained until Coolidge fixed
the roof, and in the days of FDR
additional space was required f..r
the growing clerical staff. «The

Wheat Stocks
Rural Areas Should Keep Youth
Home, Says President Strange
Official notification ,has been
received by the War Bond Staff
that Oregon sold the most E
bonds per capita in all the dri­
ves from May 1941 to December
1945.
Oregon topped Connecticut by
$11.26, having $446.02. Washing­
ton was third kvith $433.86 and
California fourth with $409.89.
Others in order were Michigan,
Montana, New York, Iowa, Neva­
da.
Southern «states were at the
bottom Mississippi being 48th
with $140.33, led ^lightly by
South Carolina, Arkansas, North
Carolina,
Kentucky,
Georgia,
Tennessee and Alabama which
had $177.99.
•
As far as can be computed
from information in this county
Sherman countlans bought $933 4fi
in E bonds per capita. This is
three times the national average
of $313.96 and over twice the
winning figure for the state
which was $446.02.
Sherman county is officially
credited with sales of $96.81
the third drive, $104.93 in the
fourth, $87.49 in the fifth, $136 51
in the sixth, $131.44 in the sev­
enth. The victory drive resulted
in sales of $»3 99 per capita in
this county. Sales before the re­
gular drives began and between
driver were $302.29, , if local
figures are correct.
It has been difficult to find
out whether Sherman county has
the best E bond per capita re­
cord or not as some states* do not
compile figures by counties. In­
asmuch a s ’Oregon led all the
other states and Sherman county
led all of Oregon in such sales, it
is doubtful if any other county
can approach this one in financial
support of the war.
