VOLLME XVII CENTRAL POINT. OREGON » ERSEL DEE LEWIS PASSES TO REWARD B y the Editor FATHER S VOICE Father’s Day, as many might as sume, was not conceived in the egot ism of a man, but was originated by a woman. To Mrs. John Bruce Dodd belongs the honor of emancipating Pad from his confines by creating an annual Father’s Day. which we cele brate fnfnt'y in the month of June. Years and years ago, when I Was jest a little lad, - An’ after school hours used to work Around the farm with Dad: An' when the sun was settin’ low When eventide was come, Then I’d get klnda anxious-like About the journey home. An' Dad, he used to lead the way, An’ once a while turn ’round an’ say, So cheerin -like, so tender: “Come, Come, my son, you’re nearly home!’’ That allers used to help me some, An' so I followed Father home. I'm old an' gray an' feeble xnow, An' tremble at the knee. But life seems jest the same today As then It seemed to me. For I am still so wearied out, When i eventide is come, An' still get kinder unxlous-like About the journey home. Father leads the way, An' still my i An’ once i a while I hear him say, So cheerin'-like, so tender: •'Come. Come, my son, you’re nearly home!" An', same as then, that helps me some. An' so I'm followin' Father home. —Origin Unknown. We wonder how many of our readers remember that tomorrow is election day? On that day the citi zens of Oregon have the priceless privilege of deciding for themselves whether or not they want to adopt certain propositions put up to them by the recent legislature. And at least one of those propositions is mighty Important, too. That is th" question regarding the state building program. It is a shameful thing that our great elate has so long neglected the wards under ftbr care. It is a shame that every one of our state institutions is so badly overcrowded. Take the Boy»’ School at Woodburn, for instance. That institution is so badly overcrowded that the state board of control recently sent notice to the various county Judges of the state that no more boys may be sent up there until conditions are better. What shall be done with such delin quent lads? ♦ ♦ ♦ Or take the Fairview Home for the feeble-minded. . There are some 200 mure patients In that Institution right now than the buildings were de signed to care for. And every coun ty has a long waiting list of those who should be receiving care up there right now. And the same con dition exists in every one of the state institutions. It's time the people of Oregon woke up and did something about it. We urge every voter to go to the polls tomorrow. Friday, June 22, and vote “yes" on the state building proposition. ♦ ♦ ♦ The second matter on the ballot is a tax on cigaretes—the money to be used for the support of the public schools of the state. Oregon stands far behind most of the states of the union in the amount of state sup port for schools, compared with the amount raised each year by direct tax on the real property in each dis trict. However worthy the object may be, we fear too many voters will take the view that cigaretes are too scarce and hard to get for them to add anything more to the cost there of. So far as this writer is concern ed we have a feeling that if the legis lature of two years ago had not made so generous a Christmas present to the hundreds of foreign corporations paying Income tax iri this state, but had used the surplus which was ac- lumlatlng in the income tax fund to cut the local school levies, they wold have accomplished the same re- suit without having to resort to > a cigarette tax. ENLISTS IN Till. NAW— Brant M. Culbertson, son of .Mr. and Mrs. Samuel E. Cull»ertson and Theron C. Gorden both have recently enlisted in the navy and are waltlre boot training. Tommy and Sis, They Can’t Miss Through his profits as a junior street salesman of a Kansas news paper, nine-year-old Tommy Jovalis is the proud possessor of a 8100 and a S50 War Bond. But he doesn’t own them alone. He asked the man at the post office to make them out in his name with h s tw.,-vcar-old sis ter. Frances, as co-owner. He pre sented them to her on their joint birthday last month. Tommy has been "in business” since la«t July. Every afternoon after sihool, he plies his wares—up and down Kansas Avenue in Topeka. “It was his own idea to save his money.” according to his father. "As soon as h- started, he b gan bringing his money home to hi» mo.her, anj asked her to save it for him. lie wanted to put it into War Bunds. lie wanted to do something for his America.” Asked what he intended to use the bonds for. Tommy replied. “Some day I want to go to college, and I want Frances io go, too," CITY THIS WEEK Aiting under the provisions of a law passed l»y the legislature this year. Secretary of State Robert S. Farrell recently announced that an official census of this city would be undertaken Immediately, City Re corder Tex was asked to secure at least^ix enumerators to take the count. Yesterday Mr. R. F. Lefor, repre sentative of the secretary of state's office arrived in the city and made plans with Mr. Tex for the count to start today. Six enumerators have been appointed, consisting of the following: Della Tex, supervisor; Alta Kelly. Dora Jones. C. II. Mosher, John C. Jones and Rev. W. A. Par- sons. A school for the enumerators was held so that all would understand their duties, All expense of the census will be paid by the state. The reason for taking this census is as follows: Under the laws of Ore gon all cities within the state receive an apportionment of the money re ceived from the sale of liquor and also from the tax on gasoline. At the present time this amounts to »2.07 per capita for all residents living within the city, based on the latest federal census, (in this case, the 1940 ■ensus.j Due to the fact that so mans- communities in the state have had abnormal Increases in popula- tlon since 1 940. the legislature felt that using the 1940 figure as a basis wa- unfair to these communities, so nassed an act providing that any in corporated city of town In the state of not over 2000 population might request the secretary of state to make a special count and that this new figure would be used in making future allotments. Just how many new residents have come into this city since the 1940 ■ensus w.iw* taken ts» of course not Known, but most estimates place the figure at from 3oO to 400. which would give the city about 1200 to 1 300 population. Whatever the exact figure, it is certain that the new I count will bring a very appreciable sum of money into the city treasure.
