OREGON
WEEKLY
INDUSTRIAL
REVIEW
served a sumptuous turkey dinner.
Pennsylvania, speaking loudly for
the Liberty Bell; Iowa and Kansas
with corn; the South for cotton and
piccaninnies; and Canada, our neigh
bor, with the maple leaf were con
spicuous among the tables; but the
best o f all were the beautiful decor
ations o f the Oregon* table with a
miniature Crater Lake set in a back
ground of living moss and Oregon
grai>e leaves.
Mrs. A. Schopen o f the Rogue
Valley Floral Co., haining from Ohio,
donated a beautiful bouquet o f red
carnation in honor o f her state which
is the state flower of Ohio.
C. E Gates presided as toastmas
ter and all present enjoyed a well-
planned program. A three-piece or
chestra, consisting o f Bliss Heine,
violinist; Sidney Hoffman, saxaphone
and Miss Eunice Parrett, pianist,
rendered splendid music. Dr. T. H.
Temple invoked the divine blessing
which was followed by toasts, read-
nigs, and musical numbers.
“ Lib
erty Bell” was read by Eleanor Pal
mer. Clarence Meeker sang for Ill
inois and Mrs. L. C. Collins sang a
group of songs for the Southern
States and led in “ Dixie” with all
singing.
The foreigners, with Mrs. Dr.
Heine as hostess, were toasted in an
able manner, in the absence o f Dr.
Clancy, by Rev. Temple who hails
from England. The following fo r
eign born were introduced: Mr. Hu
ber, Bohemia; Mrs. Samuel Bate
man, Denmark; Frank Van Dyke,
Penanz Malaysia; J. J. Buchter,
Switzerland; Alice Roberts, Panama;
and Dr. Holt, China. Other toasts
were given by E. C. Koppen, Mrs.
H. E. Robbins, Dr. Sleeter, Mrs. Ar
thur Short and Mrs. S. A. Cornwell.
The Canadian born stood up wjiile
Mesdames A. E. Leyman, W. M. Van
Scoyoc, Donald Robinson, and the
Misses Gladys Bridges, Eunice Par
rett, Ellen Williams, and Viola Diet-
rick sang “ The Maple Leaf For
ever” . Mrs. C. M. Sims gave a read
ing “ Out Where the West Begins” ,
which was a fitting tribute to the
Western states. A number of speak
ers emphasized the fact that their
native state or country was a good
place to come from.
No one tbasted California, so the
toastmaster entertained the guests
by “ roasting” her with an appropiate
poem. Following this the banquet
ers joined in singing “ Oregon Suita
Me” followed by a splendid piano
duet by Mrs. W. M. Van Scoyoc and
Mrs. Clarence Meeker and the pro
gram was concluded by all singing
“ America” .

Addressing the Insurance
Federation o f America at its annual
get-together dinner, James B. Emery
of the National Association of Manu
facturers, said:
“ Whatever could be said o f the en
trance qf government into the field
of manufacture on a commercial ba
sis, there is far less that could be ad
vanced in support o f any proposal to
make any unit, state, or national, of
the federal government an insurer,
and if one turns back to the argu
ment, it seems to me that he must go
beyond the mere suggestion that the
government ought not to compe'e
with its citizens. The issue is far
more fundamental.
It is an issue
that goes to the very roots o f the
purpose for which this government
exists, because the purpose of the
American government is political and
not economic.
“ Government competition is poli
tical suicide. It means that the gov
ernment is engaged in undermining
and destroying that which gives it
its own life and existence. ,
“ Every time you attack the struc
ture upon which the investments of
insurance are predicted, you are
threatening not merely the security
o f each individual, you are threaten
ing the security of every single busi
ness.”
