with the idea advanced in the fourth
paragraph there should be little dif-i
ference of opinion regarding the
need for and purpose of such an or
ganization. Conditions in Condon and Hepp
ner are very similar and for this
reason we herewith reproduce the
letter:
I have thought many times recent
ly about a Ladies Civic Improvement
club and . wondered how sucfh a
movement might be started. The Red
Cross was organized by the mayor
calling a mass meeting for the pur
pose of organizing. Why not follow
the same procedure and organize a
Ladies Civic Improvement club? The
ladies of the Red Cross have done
such excellent work the past two
years and showed an eagerness and
willingness in their work which prov
ed that they considered their coun
try worth fighting for, now tljat. the
war is over let the good work con
tinue and let us show our willingness
in making our country (especially
that part of it in which we live)
worth living for.
Perhaps we might persuade some
man, whom the ladies in general
think worthy of the honor, to accept
the chairmanship of such a club.
Not that there are not women in
Condon who are capable of filling
such a position very ably, for there
are many here who have the abiluy,
but for the reason that the trouble
does not lie entirely with the lead
er but mostly with the followers. The
average woman lins a large amount
of jealously in her general make-up
and when a lady chairman gets a
little prominence through her untir
ing efforts in a cause, there usually
are some who having a personal
grievance against her, will feel en
vious and will not put forth then
best efforts for the good of the club.
I will say right here that this is not
being written by a man. I am a
woman myself and am frank to con
fess I find this fault or characteristic
hard to overcocnie. Furthermore,
there is not a married woman in this
town who would not feel perfectly at
home and natural in stepping around
to the dictates of a man.
Now for the purpose of such a
club It could be decided by vote af
ter we were well organized which of
I the many movements we would wish
i to pursue, but work that Buch an cr-
ganizatlon could start in on lmnie-
j diately would be the following: Help
I to plan a reception for the boys whei.
they return to Condon; a rest room
i for mothers from the country during
' Chautauqua week; . support .the Suit
board and agiatate a big county .fair
for next fall; support the officials
In their enforcement of the prohibi
tion law. A question to be voted on
could be one of the following: Cam
paign formore nice lawns and tree
throughout the city; public library;
children's playground or a gymna
sium for both public and high school
pupils; city hall; new school house;
par; cemetery association,'' .c.
These are Just a few of the things
that could-, be accomplished and
which are really necessary. During
the war we have learned to despite
the name "slacker," but when we I
me alt Idly and will not put
forth one effort to better condlKona
for humanity in our own community
to be Called "slackers" la the only
Judgment we are entitled to have
passed upon ua. Our huibands are
making successes of their Urea by
being successful In their different
business enterprises or professional
careers and that li the reason why
fhey like to live In Condon. Hut we
their wives do not like it here. Why?
Because we are making failure of
our lives In not making our hornet
and surroundings all that they
should be. We are not helping to
create a better social atmosphere.
Our husbands say "Condon is the
'bent business town In eatem 0;i g
on. Let us wives get busy so we can
take our Htand along with them and
say "Condon Is one of the best hon
towns in pastern Oregon."
GOOD ROADS 1919 PROGRAM
Michigan Starting on Greatest Era of
Highway Construction in His
tory of State.
Michigan is going to start on the
greatest era of road building In the
state's history, declares Edward N.
Hlnes, first vice president of the De
troit Automobile club. Mr. Hlnes adds
that Michigan highway constructors
have seen the folly of their ways in
building roads too narrow and of types
not permanent They will correct this
In the future.
Every citizen, including the farmer,
business man, laboring man and the
resident of the small town, sees the
need of permanent highways, the case
being proven to them by wartime con
ditions, according to Mr. Hines. This
was brought about by the inadequate
freight and express service, the food'
situation and the general need to con
serve labor wherever feasible.
"Had the war continued," Mr. Hines
stated, "I had records of projects for
building of concrete roads In the state
that likely would have been put
through by the proper authorities in
Washington because of their war ne
cessity, there being some G5C0IX)
square yards. Other projects for con
crete roads in Michigan financed by
the Covert act whose issues were Bold
and the money not expended during the
past season, and direct tax levies
amounted to 1,347,909 square yards, a
total for the state of close to 2,000,000
square yards. All of this will be built
In 1919 and in all probability this yard
age will be doubled by the time the
road construction work begins In the
spring.
"Wayne county's concrete roads
have stood the test since the United
States entered the world conUct. The
normal traffic, plus the enormous war
haulage by army trucks over concrete
roads seven, eight, nine end ten years
old, was handled satisfactorily and
the highways held up in perfect con
dition. Eyes of the road builders
throughout the countfy have been fo
cused on Wayne county's roads and
the practical demonstration of the
value of permanent roads has been
proven here in the vicinity of Detroit
"Wayne, leader among the counties
of Michigan in mileage of improved
roads, asked for no county road tax
this year and will have to rely on the
money received from automobile H
censes. Consequently 1918 will not ap
proximate previous years' programs
because of lack of funds to push the
work to the limit We expect to get
more for a dollar in 1919, though, aa
