Life .
in its living
A good man died last Sunday. The
world had never heard of him. The
newspapers never printed his pic
ture. He lived simply, in a small
town; thriftily, on a small income.
But thousands of officers of the
United States Army knew him as a
friend and wise counselor when
they were young cadets at West
Point, where he was one of the
minor members of the academic
staff.
He was content to work hard, to
serve his church and his communi
ty, to live without vices or bad hab
its, and get his satisfactions in life
through lending a helping hand to
others. I cannot escape the feeling
that hsi sixty years on earth left
humanity somehow better than it
was. I shall never lose the scar his
passing has left, but I shall always
be proud to have had such a man
as my brother.
Boom . . . due in building
The next big boom will be a build
ing boom. I think it has already
begun, in spots, and if I am any
good at reading the signs of the
times, we'll be putting up new
houses and rebuilding old ones all
over the United States by next
Spring.
Driving around the country roads
near my farm, in one day recently
I counted seven new houses and five
barns that were under construe'
tion, all of them in one township of
less than 2,000 inhabitants. And I
noticed the same day a report in a
New York newspaper that building
materials were leading all other
commodities in increased sales.
We have to rebuild the whole
country every forty years. We are
away behind our normal building
program. When we start in earn
est to take up the slack, that indus
try alone, with all the other indus
tries that contribute to it, will as
sure prosperity for several years.
Fires . . in hard times
I had to renew the three-year Are
insurance policy on my house and
barns the other day. My policies
are in a mutual company operating
mostly in one county. I found that
the usual dividend returnable to
policy-holders had been cut to a
quarter of what it used to be.
"Hard times," the insurance ag
ent explained. "Always more fire
losses in hard times."
I began to wonder whether the
worst effect of hard times is not the
loss of moral fibre, more than the
loss of money. I don't know that
any of the fires in our town the past
two years was anything but an ac
cident, but I feel pretty sure that
some people whom everybody, in
cluding themselves, have always be
lieved to be honest, have found it
beyond them to resist temptation
under stresS.
Artist . . . neighbor Dan
People drive from miles around
to see the gardens of my neighbor,
Daniele Roviaro. Daniele learned
gardening in his native Italy. He
was chief gardener of a large es
tate for many years. Now, in his
old age, he has made the acre of
land around his little cottage into
one of the most beautiful and pro
ductive flower and vegetable gar
dens I have ever seen. He has laid
out his hillside plot into interesting
designs and has built odd-shaped
islands in the clear brook at the
bottom of the hill, producing an
effect as attractive as the terraced
mountain-side farms of his native
land.
In the winter Daniele devotes
himself to wood-carving. A sculp
tured Madonna carved from a block
of sugar maple won a place in the
county Art Exhibition last Sum
mer. He carves native woods into
interesting canes and other shapes,
and prizes a letter from President
Roosevelt thanking him for a cane
he sent him.
I think Daniele Roviaro is the
only perfect example I have known
of a contented man.
Scott . . . and his hands
When I was a boy the United
States Army was pretty busy fight
ing Indians. I remember when the
Custer Massacre was news, and Sit
ting Bull and other famous chiefs,
including Geronimo, the Apache
were giving Uncle Sam plenty of
trouoie.
What reminded me of that was
seeing a piece In the paper about
ueneral Hugh Scott He was a
young lieutenant when he was out
West with the Indian fighters, but
unlike some Army men, he tried to
understand the Indians and get
ineir point or view. So, among oth
er inings, He learned the sign lan
guage which was common to all the
Indians of the Great Plains. The
Apaches named Scott "Man-Who-Can-Talk-With-His-Hands."
Scott retired from the Army in
1919, and celebrated his 80th birth
day last month. But In the past
three years he has been putting on
paper, in picture and description,
the ancient sign language of the
vanishing Indians, and now he is at
work making them into motion pic
tures.
A useful, busy and interesting
young man or eighty!
According to the reports of the
census takers, the women at th
seaside this summer were but In a
bare majority.
Report Indicates KOAC j
Best Educational Radio
That the state-owned radio sta
tion, KOAC, is now the first rank
ing station in the United States in
point of time devoted to education
al and non-commercial programs,
and in scope of the educational field
covered, is shown by the annual re
port of the station for 1932-33 re
cently submitted by W. L. Kadder
ly, manager of the station.
Though the station is located at
Oregon State college, it drew its
program material this last year
from all of the institutions in the
system, from six other colleges or
universities, from four federal de
partments, eleven departments of
the state government and 35 public
or semi-public institutions or or
ganizations.
Analysis of the time devoted to
various classes of programs given
in the report shows that 55 per cent
of the time was devoted to educa
tional broadcasts. Music took up
40.5 per cent of the time, athletic
contests accounted for 1 per cent,
religious broadcasts 1 per cent.
and other miscellaneous programs
such as debates, convocations and
dramatics 2 per cent.
The farm hours accounted for 19
of the 55 per cent of time in edu
cational broadcasts and homemak
er hours for 14 per cent. The re
mainder was divided over the whole
field of human interest
Reports from listeners show that
the Willamette valley inculing Port
land have most of KOAC's audi
ence, followed by southern Oregon,
the coast region, central Oregon,
Blue mountain region, and Colum
bia basin in that order. In the
Willamette valley, Marion, Lane
and Linn counties lead in total re'
sponse.
The extent to which KOAC is rec
ognized nationally as a factor in
radio education is shown in the re
port in accounts of the visit to Or
egon of Eugene J. Coltrane, special
representative of the National Com
mittee on Education by radio. He
said the station is unique as a non
commercial station having unlim
ited time and a most desirable fre
quency, and predicted that it will
become increasingly important as
a factor in educational extension in
this state.

thing that the cock suffers when
he cracks open an ancient egg.

THE STORM BREAKS
When Jesus failed to perform any
miracles in Nazareth, the storm
broke. All the pent-up envy of the
little town for one who has dared
to outgrow it, gathered itself into a
roar. They surged forward hurry
ing him through the main street to
the edge of a preoipice where they
would have thrown him over. But
the wrath which had been sufficient
to conceive his destruction grew
suddenly impotent when he turned
and faced them. They shrank back,
and before they could reform their
purpose he had passed through the
midst of them and was on his way.
In his ears sounded the buzz of
malicious comment, but he was too
heart-sick to look back. From
henceforth Capernaum became "his
own oity." Nazareth, the home of
his youth, the dwelling place of his
boyhood friends and neighbors, had
given its verdict
He had come unto his own, and
Famous British Train
Will Visit Portland
- The Royal Scot express, famous
ace train of the London Midland
and Scottish railway, which has
been one of the most popular ex
hibits at the Century of Progress
exposition in Chicago, will make a
post-exposition tour of the West
and will be on display in Portland,
Wednesday, October 25, according
to announcement just made.
The train will arrive in Portland
from San Francisco Wednesday
morning and will be open for free
inspection by the general public at
Northwest Hoyt and Northwest
Eighth avenue, one block west of
Broadway, from 10:00 a. m. until
9:00 p. m.
The train will be comprised of a
locomotive and tendere, third class
brake carriage, third class vestibule
car, electric kitchen car, first class
vestibule car, first class lounge car,
third class sleeping car, first class
sleeping car and first class corri
dor brake carriage. This will be
standard equipment as used daily
by the Royal Scot in her 400 mile
dash each way daily between Lon
day, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
More than 2,000,000 visitors have
inspected the train since it was
first thrown open to visitors at
Montreal on May 1. After being
landed by boat in Montreal the
train traveled 3181 miles under its
own steam to Chicago for the ex
position. A post-exposition tour of
8,562 miles through the mid-west,
Pacific coast and Canada was ar
ranged after thousands of requests
had been received from the west.
The tour will end at Montreal No
vember 12, when the train will be
dismantled for shipment home.
Daily schedule of the Royal Scot
in England requires that the train
shall cover the 401 miles between
London and Glasgow in 475 minutes.
PRINCIPALS' MEET SLATED.
The Oregon High School Princi
pals' conference will hold its fifth
annual meeting in Salem on Octo
ber 20 and 21. This meeting con
venes every year in the House of
Representatives for two days, when
problems of all kinds relative to the
high schools of the state are dis
cussed. Originally begun in 1929 by State
Superintendent C. A. Howard as a
means of discussing high school
problems, it has developed into the
most Important conference of sec
ondary school men that takes place
during the entire year, and the high
regard in which it is held is attest
ed by the fact that over fifty per
cent of the high school principals
of the state attend. Important con
tributions to secondary education
in the shape of scientific studies of
high school problems have been
made by committees under the di
rection oX this association.
Officers are elected annually from
the high school principals and hold
their positions for one year, during
which time they direct the activities
of the association. This year Rex
Putnam, superintendent of the Al
bany schools, Is president of the as
sociation, and as such he has had
an active part in forming the pro
gram and assisting in the general
management of the affairs of the
association for the past year. Sev
eral important committees have
been at work during the entire past
year upon various features of the
work of the principals' association,
and the program promises to be one
of unusual interest and value.
Edward F. Bloom, superintendent
of the Heppner schools, will attend
the conference this year.
In 1931 the cost of government
was $107.37 per capita, or 28 per
cent of the Income of the American
people.

The brothers of Jesus had been
witnesses of his defeat, and were
left behind by him to bear the Ig
nominy of it How the sardonic
laughter must have rung in their
ears! These home town sneers were
bad enough, but the reports that
came back from other towns threw
the simple unimaginative family in
to a panic.
It was said that he made seditious
speeches; that he claimed to have a
special relationship to God; that he
utterly disregarded the code of the
Pharisees and denounced them op
enly before the crowds. Such con
duct could mean only one thing. He
would get himself into jail, and his
relatives with him.
Hence the members of his family
who should have been his best help
ers spent their energy in the effort
to get him to go farther away from
home.
"For even his brethren did not
believe in him."
He was teaching one day in Cap
ernaum to a crowd that hung spell
bound on his words, when suddenly
an Interruption occurred. A mes
senger pushed through the audience
to tell him that his mother and
brothers were outside and insisted
on speaking to him right away. A
quick look of pain shot across his
fine face. He knew why they had
come. They had made up their
minds that he was just a little bit
out of his head, and they were de-
termined to shut him up in an asy
lum before his extravagances
NOTICE OF HEARING ON NON-HIGH SCHOOL
DISTRICT BUDGET
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Budget Committee of the Non-high

NEW DEAL" ON HALLOWE'EN,
Mr. Editor:
Now that the Hallowe'en time is
almost here, I'd like to make a
suggestion. Just a pleasant change
fromthe old order of things: In
stead of getting up the morning af
ter the fun and housewives finding
their clothes lines cut in shreds and
their windows all "tallowed" and
other damages causing unneces
sary expense to repair, why not
leave something helpful at the
houses.
The Hallowe'en ghosts may walk
abroad, same as ever, but when you
ring doorbells, leave baskets of food
where such may be needed; or flow
ers. And even a little note of cheer
and hope. Something that will
cause the "victims" to bless instead
of wanting to "cuss" you.
This has been a depressing year,
and children are always open to
suggestions of older ones in whom
they believe. So why not make the
helpful suggestion for Hallowe'en
fun, instead of repeating the old
tales of "what I did when I was a
youngster,' 'on Hallowe'en night?
AN OLD-TIMER.
We believe this is an excellent
suggestion. If we could fix it so
only kindly, benevolent spirits are
abroad on the eve of All Hallows
Day, it would be a real and worth
while achievement

ies, the first one being "The Trail
of the Bear." "Cougar Pass" is

New Oregon Book Issued
By Portland Publishers
Portland. With the nublication
the first of the month of "Cougar
Pass" the boys and girls have a
real outaoor story of thrills and
adventure in the Cascade moun
tains. While the cougar dominates
the story, the author ingeniously
introduces various incidents relative
to other wild creatures found in the
West and proves her ability to
write interestingly.
The author is Mrs. Elizabeth
Lambert Wood, daughter of an
Oregon pioneer, Joseph Hamilton
Lambert, who originated and prop
agated the Lambert cherry. Mrs.
Wood knows the Oregon country
as rew, eitner men or women, know
it She has traveled by wagon and
horseback over its mountains, has
lived in the sagebrush sections and
has enjoyed many months along the
coast. Her first book, "Silver House
of Klone Chuck," displays her
knowledge of the coast country,
while her two books of the West
ern Wilderness Series describe the
Cascade mountains and the animals
that are found there.
"Cougar Pass" takes its title from
the adventures of three boys who
go hunting in the Cascades and are
pursued by a cougar. How they
outwit the cunning cougar and their
many adventures is combined in
this delightful wilderness story.
The salesman with a speech Im
pediment finds it hard to sell goods,
which Is true of the business that
suffers the speech impediment
known as failure to advertise.
