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

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

the seeds are produced), to increase
the supply of winter legume seeds

of conservation payments for carry

Oregon received 1,216,141 pounds of
seed for replanting; Washington 76,

4-H Program Lauded
At Anniversary Meet
General acclaim for the accom
plishments of the 4-H club program
in Oregon and the United States
was given at the annual conference
of agricultural and home economics
workers at Oregon State college,
where the 4-H club silver anniver
sary was observed.
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.
