Numerous Gifts Arc
Provided for Cheer of
Hospitalized Veterans
By Mrs. Ralnh Thompson
Heading the report at the Nov
ember meeting of the Blue Mt.
council was the Underwood type
writer from Elbert Cox, which was
put in condition by check from F.
W Wehmeyer. Other items were
two small Corona machines from
Mrs. Wehmeyer . and Miss Harriet
Hjager; two vases and comic books
from Miss Hager, two table tops
for wheel chairs, gift of Miss Leta
Humphreys. 20 wrapped prizes for
parties in ward 49, from Mrs. Frank
Andeison, flowers and seven vases
from Mrs. Ralph Thompson; three
bed lamps pur-chased by committee
funds and the electric phonograph
gift from the Harry Duvalls of
Lexington. These presents for our
boys in ward 49 made us feel we
had helped a little, when, as we
were leaving, the nurse told us
the boys were sad that day. Two
had been told they would never
walk agjain and since then one
more boy has heard the same
verdict. Others are paralyzed from
the waist down and they feel they
will hear the same thing. Since this
visit the boys have received $12
worth of new records of their own
selection, gift of Mrs. Ralph
Thompson.
At the council meeting last week
we took the floor lamp, gift of lone
student body, clocks and brushes
collected by Brownie .Scouts and
Troop No. 3 of Girl Scouts for the
Christmas gift making project at
McCaw; a box of gifts for ward 49
which included candy purchased
with committee funds, a book and
deck of cards, from Mrs. Frank
Turner; 12 decks of cards from the
Elks lodge. Other presents the com
mittee has received for patients at
McCaw includb check for $15 from
Lexington grange and a promise to
provide prizes for a ward, party; 16
prizes, gift of Wool Growers aux
iliary. Our thanks to dach person
and organization for all , this help
which means so much to the boys
in the hospital.
We promised the following sums:
$20 for 100 records for the boys at
Pasco who went out on carriers
in the recent naval battle; (we had
previously given these boys a doz
en harmonicas in September;) $20
towa.d pui chase- of braodcasting
system in hospital at tWa'.la Walla
base, the Home Ec club of Rhea
project; $.j0 to purchase one more
creek grange gave $10 toward this
electric phonograph and the Rhea
creek grange gave another $50 to
buy a phonograph.
Our county was told to fill 200
Christmas blags for patients in the
hospitals at Pasco, Walla Walla base
and McCaw; and this year the
council will give 450 bags to the
Veterans hospitatl. The Missionary
society of the Valby - Lutheran
church has promised 10 bags asked
as our share of the 150 needed for
the colored Wacs at Walla Walla
base. We were lasked for at least
that number for the Waves at Pas
co. We were asked for small gifts
for the men in the army and navy
who will be at sea on Christmas
day. If every group answers the
demands Vie those in the Rhea
creek grange and Eight Mile com
munity we have no fear but that we
will do our part in making the
holiday season a happy one for our
boys and girls in the armed services.

ILLIONS of American families are making post-war plans
for new or better homes.
A million new homes a year, for 10 years, is the estimate of the
construction industry's job as soon as the war ends.
And wood will be ready to go to work, for you, without delay.
The construction industry, from tree.
in the forest to carpenter on the job,
needs no retooling. It can turn, im
mediately, from the tasks of war to
the requirements of peace. At least two
million men will be employed building
homes and other structures for America.
Are your plans ready?
THE FORESTS CONSTANTLY
RENEWING THEMSELVES WILL
BE READY.
