A prominent business man in Eugene who attended the recent Chamber of Commerce dinner in Albany remarked to the editor of the Democrat Saturday that Albany is a tine city, conditions seem to be prosperous here, that the Chamber of Commerce is composed of a fine, live body of men, but that there seems to be something lacking. He analyzed the situation and pointed out the fact that we need a little more "punch". Not the grape juice kind nor beverage that set heads to going in former days, but an ample dose of that quality which, in modern slank is termed "pep." Criticizing in a kindly manner, he told of how, during the speech-making one member after another got up and left the room until at the end there were but a few local men left with the visitors. This fact struck him that there must be a decided lack of interest in Albany's best civic or ganization. In many towns no member would be permitted to do such a thing unless there were good reasons, and surely there were not sufficient reasons for so many leaving the tables. Albany is losing every day because its Chamber of Commerce does not arise to meet the demands of the times. The officers are not to be criticized, but the fault lies with the entire community. Thete are a few who would like to instill a little more ginger into the affairs of the city and mate things hum faster. The trouble lies in the fact that not enough get the same spirit at the same time. There is so much to be done that it behooves every busi ness and professional man and farmer to get behind the Chamber of Commerce and boost for his home city with all his might. Let's get behind the new officers and help them put over something really worth while this year. AN OPTIMISTIC MEETING It was a live crowd that gatered at the Chamber of Com merce in Eugene Saturday evening when that organization was host to the visiting editors and their wives who were at tending the conference at the university. The Eugene peo ple proved themselves admirabl hosts and made the visit ors feel at home. The good ladies of the city served a splendid chicken dinner in the comodious rooms of the or ganization and the speeches which followed proved that all the joy has not been taken out of such pastime as a result of the 18yi amendment. I here was a note of optimism in every talk and the occasion was thoroughly enjoyed. o PANIC AND PRECAUTION With numerous cases of influenza, or whatever it might be termed going the rounds these days some people are prone to become panicky while others go about their every day business and think little of it. We are inclined to be lieve that the latter course is the wisest, for the disease sectm to strike where it will and has teen known to break out where least expected. Among the northern Indians of Alaska and Canada, for instance. Perhaps the best preventative is in keeping regular habits, eating and sleeping correctly and probably using a good antiseptic mouth wash daily, not to mention brushing the teeth. Exercise and plenty of fresh air are included. Per haps overcrowded halls are to be avoided; but during the last year when other cities closed down New York staid open ?nd hd a smaller percentage of cases than any city in the country. A contemporary suggests that the daily flushing cf the streets might serve to take the place of rain and keep the atmosphere in more wholesome condition down town. In any event, we see no reason for becomng excited about it at present. TODAY'S EVENTS .Monday, February 'J3, l'.i'JO Centenary of the birth of William Makepeace Thayer, New EiiKtaud author.
