Thursday, Dec. 21, 1939 Heppner Gazette Times, Heppner, Oregon Page Nine : - AT 'j&THE ' ; Washington, D.C., Dec. 21 Affairs of state will be shelved next Mon day and the President of the United States will be just Franklin D. Roosevelt, citizen, and papa to a large family. He likes to refer to himself as "papa" and that is what all his children call him. For hours Mr. Roosevelt will be nestled in an arm chair in front of a blazing fireplace (fireplaces are in every room in the White House relic of the original heating system), read ing aloud Dickens' "Christmas Car ol." This has been his practice for years. There are three decorated Christ mas trees (one in famed East Room where the murdered Lincoln lay in state and Alice Roosevelt was mar ried), and at each window of the mansion facing Pennsylvania aven ue, the side tourists stand to take snapshots, garlands and wreaths are hung. The White House, in brief, is decorated as millions of other American homes are, no more, no less. There is a cheerfulness about the scene. Every employe at the President's house received a personal present. The gifts were purchased by Mrs. Roosevelt. The buying is simplified, for the First Lady merely orders a couple dozen of these and those until she has enough. Into the man sion troop all hands and the cook (literally). From the gardeners who mow the lawn and rake the leaves, to the broad-shouldered fellows as signed by the secret service as pres idential bodyguards; from the scul lery maids in the electrified kitchen to the weather-beaten policemen who patrol the grounds, to each and all Mr. Roosevelt gives a hand clasp and a gift possibly three handker chiefs in a fancy box. This scene, the president and first lady distributing presents, is remind ful of commencement exercises at school, with the principal handing out diplomas. In the waiting line, in addition to the staff and servants, are their families the wives and children. It is a big moment and the gifts are treasured as souvenirs. Years from now they will have his toric value, will be museum pieces. For the youngsters there is candy; for the grown-ups pieces of cake. Christmas Eve the grandchildren hang their stockings over the fire place in the Presidents bedroom; awaken him Christmas morning with their shouts as they rush pell-mell to see what Santa Claus has brought them. It is one morning when, as he breakfasts in bed, the President does not have officials there to make ronnrts in discuss domestic and foreign developments. Mr. Roosevelt gets as much kick, pleasure and joy out of Christmas as do his noisy flock of grandchildren. And the 124,000 government em ployes (they had $15,000,000 to spend last Saturday payroll is about a million dollars a day in the District of Columbia) their Christmas starts Saturday noon and they punch the clock next Tuesday morning. To all intents, government stops, is on dead center, with no one at any of the great, sprawling federal build ings except the uniform guards SHIP The Dalles Freight- Line, Inc.

Farm Security Administration ex pects to assist in settling reclama tion projects in Washington and Oregon it has, it claims, settled 500 families from the drouth area on the Vale-Owyhee project and as many more families in other part of Ore gon. FSA is looking forward to lo cating farm families on the Grand Coulee project when water is avail able and on the Roza section of Yakima and later on the Deschutes project. The farm family labor camps now in Oregon are expected to provide for 50,000 such families during the life of the facilities, on the theory that two families will use the same facilities each vear. Cost of the Oregon facilities $360,000. Practic ally the same arrangement is plan ned for the state of Washington. Of 10,987 drouth families in Ore gon only 4000 have been able to establish themselves without help, according to FSA. Few advocates of rural electrifica tion or creation of public utility dis tricts in the Pacific Northwest have any idea of the amount of power required to operate the appliances most common in homes. Depart ment of labor (not Federal Power Commission nor REA) has just is sued a bulletin on the subject. Ac cording to this government docu ment, here are the estimaed number of kilowatt-hours required annual ly for eight electric appliances: Flatirons 80; vaccuum cleaners 24; washing machines 30; toasters 30; radios 100; refrigerators 420; iron ing machines 125; ranges 1200 k.w.h. They add up to 2000 k.w.h. for a year. Here is how one hand washes another.

It was in 1914 that the passage of the Smith-Lever law establishing the extension service resulted in the launching of the 4-H club program. H. C. Seymour, who, for more than 23 of those 25 years, has been head of club work in Oregon, sketched the growth of the movement in this state and reported that last' year more than 26,000 projects were car ried on by more than 20,000 differ ent Oregon boys and girls. Mrs. Buena Maris, extension spe cialist in family relationships, called attention to the great value of 4-H club work in family life and per sonality development of youth. She said that the 4-H program improves family relationships by making pos sible relationships by making pos- which brings family approval at an age when too little of this is the rule. She said that the whole pro gram tends to give young people those satisfactions of accomplish ment, new experiences and recogni tion which are so important at that age. Chancellor F. M. Hunter, in an address to the entire conference, lauded the 4-H slub program and said that its ideals of development of the head, heart, hand and health coincide with the best objectives of American education. Crop conditions are satisfactory, in the opinion of Mike Fitzpatrick, who was in Heppner Tuesday.
