Gifts for Yanks Who Gave
There is evidence that Mr. and Mrs. John Q.
Public are troubled with short memory. During
the heat of battle we found it easy to comply with
requests for funds or gifts it was our patriotic
duty but now that the fighting is over we are
prone to sit back and say to ourselves, "We car
ried on during the war, let someone else carry on
now." That would be fine if it were not for the
fact that we, ourselves, are that "someone else."
Currently there is a request for "Gifts for the
Yanks Who Gave." You know who they are. They
are the men and women who now are hospitalized
because they spilled their blood to make home a
safe place for us to live. They are the people who
contracted disease and fever, broken limbs, sick
minds that we might live and enjoy the American
way of life. They are the people who left home
with a firm belief in the principles of democracy,
ready to give their all that the world might be a
safe haven for peoples of all countries.
The least we who gave little but our money
can do is to show our appreciation of what these
defenders of democracy gave by making Christ
mas a bit more cheerful. It matters little what
one may spend in the way of money for one of
these gift packages. The fact that you gave some
thing, that you remembered, will bring cheer and
comfort to those who cannot enjoy the holiday
festivities at home. Make your own holiday season
brighter and more satisfactory by brightening it
for others. Give to the Yanks who gave!
Our Contribution to McCaw
Morrow county people are justified in ex
pressing pride in the share taken in providing
funds and gifts for the veterans in McCaw Gen
eral hospital at Walla Walla. It is fair to assume
that no other county of equal size in the district
comprising the Blue Mountain Camp and Hospi
tal Council has quite measured up to this county
in the work done in this great cause during the
past two years. Our people have been ever
thoughtful of the veterans and in most instances
the requests for bread have been responded to
with cake.
It is gratifying to know that our generosity has
been noted and fully appreciated not only by those
carrying on the work at the hospital but by the
patients as well. They will remember Morrow
county and its people for many, many years and
perhaps recall with a bit of pleasure the efforts
of our people to brighten their lives during their
darkest hours.
Word comes that McCaw and other general
hospitals taken over by the army for the duration
are being evacuated of service men and returned
to a civilian status. Just why this js being done at
a time when there is a crying need for more hos
pitalization is one of those things the powers that
be kept to themselves. The work of the Blue
Mountain Camp and Hospital Council will be
carried on at the Veterans hospital and the Walla
Walla airbase hospital, the navy hospital at Pas
co and Madigan hospital at Fort Lewis. The call
for funds and gifts will continue to come and our
people will continue to give.
A word of appreciation is due Mrs. Ralph
Thompson, chairman, and her committee for their
unselfish devotion to this work. At times it has
seemed to them that all they did was ask for mon
ey or gifts and they would have willingly turned
the task over to. others but for one thing when
they thought of doing it they could not forget
those boys and what they had given for their
country, and then they rolled up their sleeves
once more and went to work with renewed energy.

Good Time to Visit Schools
Of all the national weeks we are asked to
observe, one of the most outstanding is American
Education week which begins Monday, Novem
ber 11 and runs throueh November 17. During
that short period an effort will be made to focus
attention upon the schools to create more interest
among the patrons and all who contribute to the
support of our educational system.
As a prelude to American Education week an
invitation has been sent to all school patrons "to
visit our school during American Education week.
We have circled the dates on the calendar. You
will enjoy seeing our school in action; you will
enjoy knowing our teachers better; you will en
joy our classes, the things we do, the way we
learn. Welcome to our school during American
Education Week. Your friends and neighbors will
be there."
In connection with this special week it is fitting
to quote President Harry Truman s special mes
sage to the patrons, students and teachers of Am.
erican schools: After the most destructive war
in human history our nation has turned once more
to the more prosaic but preferred tasks of peace
and reconstruction. Those tasks are no less stu
pendous than those of war. They require as great
a measure of intelligence and understanding and
of unselfish devotion to the common good. For the
building of these qualities in its citizens America
looks to the schools and colleges, dedicated as
they are to the development of individual com
petence, wisdom and good will.
"It is fitting, therefore, that the week of No
vember 11 to 17 has been set aside for observance
again as American Education Week. I urge that it
be an occasion this year for counseling together
on how we can improve the schools and colleges
of the nation for their essntial peace-time tasks.
Let us, as parents and citizens interested in the
welfare of our children and in the general wel
fare, visit our schools during American Education
Week, learning at first hand of school needs and
problems. And then let us resolve as individuals
and as a people progressively to develop our
schools as the basic instruments of freedom, de
mocracy, and human interest."
These are words of wisdom and coming from
the President of the United States they are
fraught with earnest meaning. Our schools have
, the greatest task in their history and require and
are entitled to more sympathetic understanding
than has been accorded them in the past. Patrons
should know more abcut school government, how
lessons are given, how teachers get along with
their classs and vice versa. This is something in
which all of us are vitally interested. In justice to
the schools and to the patrons American Educa
tion Week should be observed by every friend of
education.
Portable Bins to
Go on Auction
Block Next Week
Bargains in bins await Morrow
county buyers when 253 portable
wooden grain bins go on the block
at auction sales in Umatilla and
Morrow counties Nov. 16, 19 and 20,
Henry Baker, chairman of the
county AAA committee, announced
here today.
The Umatilla county sales will
be held at Helix on the morning
of Nov. 16, and at Myrick on the
afternoon of that day. In Morrow
county, the auctions will be at Hep
pner the morning of Nov. 19, at lone
that afternoon; at Jordan the morn
ing of Nov. 20 and at Lexington
that afternoon.
Farmers, dealers and the general
public are invited to the sales,
which will be conducted by county
AAA committees for the Commod
ity Credit corporation.. The bins
are all that remain of the 800-odd
storage structures shipped into the
Columbia basin by CCC several
years ago to help avert a grain stor
age crisis.
' Three types of bins, both erect
'ed and unerected, will be offered
'at the six sales. Baker pointed out
that in addition to being an excel
lent farm grain storage structure,
the bins can be adapted for many
other uses. They are made of first
grade lumber throughout.
