Club 'dies'
at the age
of 45
IIKPPNKR RK, GAZETTE-TIMES. Ttianday, October II, l7
, The Cecil Friendship hat
r disbanded after 45 years for
lack of membership, accor
ding to Mrs. George Griffith,
president.
The women's social club
was started in 1928 by Mrs.
Bert Warren, now deceased.
Since money was scarce at
that time, the rule of the club
was that every lady attending
the meetings must wear a
cotton house dress. Anyone
who came "dressed up" was
subject to a fine.
The main purpose of the
club was to provide a monthly
get together of friends and
neighbors of the Cecil area.
Each member was remem
bered in some wsy on her
birthday. Sometimes it was a
pot holder or a handkerchief
shower, other times a gift
from a secret pal.
The Cecil Hall served as the
meeting place for 'he numer
ous potluck suppers the group
sponsored. The suppers were
followed by card playing or
dancing.
Once a year a picnic was
held during the summer
months. This last summer was
no exception. The picnic was
held in July at Hat Rock, and
everyone who had ever lived
in Cecil area was invited to
attend. Mrs. Griffith reported
a very good attendance and
that several had traveled
several miles to attend the
event.
Things began to change as
the smaller farms were sold
and people began to leave. The
club that once boasted 22
members finally wirunk to
four active members. At the
September meeting it was
decided to discontinue the
monthly meetings.
Active members at the
conclusion were Mrs. George
Griffith. Mrs. Dick Patton.
Mrs. Grover Curtiss and Mrs.
Henry R. Krebs. Surviving
charter members are Mrs.
Henry W. Krebs, Arlington;
Mrs. John Krebs, Arlington;
and Mrs. George Krebs,
Portland.
HOWARD PETTYJOHN'S
INVITE THEIR FRIENDS

Friends and relatives of Mr.

to bring no gifts.

"Never underestimate the
power of woman" they say.
Make that plural and we bring
down the price of meat, or
anything else we decide to
concentrate on. So concen
trate! Make a game of eating,
dressing and living as easily
and inexpensively as possible.
Under present conditions we
may not be able to reduce the
price of gasoline, but we
certainly can cut our car trips
to a minimum by making one
cover as many chores as
practicable.
However, we all know that
it's not much fun to continue
being practical without an
occasional fline. If we are
careful about meal planning
we can add a few frills, such
as mushrooms or sliced water
chestnuts to vegetables, or
capers to a salad. And if we
sew our own clothes we can go
a little wild on accessories
with a clear conscience.
The crispness of Fall in
spires the most excitement for
clothes planners. This year, in
spite of the continued popu
larity of knits and synthetics,
tweeds are in high favor and.

of course, wool is still the
greatest.
A jacket, skirt and pants of
the same tweed makes
smart Fall outfit, in more
ways than one. You get more
from one piece of material
than from the same yardage
in two or three pieces, because
you can use every inch. About
four yards will make this out
fit for the average figure.
Here is a good system for
such a project: Set up four
card tables with a blanket and
sheet on top. After steam
pressing your wool (even if it
is preshrunk ) lay it out on the
tables nice and straight.
Familiarize yourself with
the pattern pieces. Separate
those for linings and interfac
ings from those of the main
garment. With this much
material you can improve on
the pattern chart, so experi
ment until you are sure of
getting all pieces on the
proper grain of the fabric.
Then pin and proceed to cut.
Movie Guide
Check you measurements
with those on the pattern
envelope. You may need to
add a little at waist, hip or
bustline or take a tuck to
narrow the shoulders. The
pattern will indicate where to
lengthen or shorten.
To a black and white tweed
ensemble, add a white jersey
shirt or turtleneck sweater, a
couple of interesting chains or
ropes of beads, a crocheted or
wrapped turban. If you are
lucky enough to have in
storage a silver or red fox fur
(complete with head and tail
you are in luck, as they are
very big again, worn with
either a suit or pantsuit.
Do be careful in the selection
of shoes. The awkward, clun
ky ones are not bad with
slacks, but make feet look
bigger with skirts.
Mr. and Mrs. Marion Pal
mer and Mr. and Mrs. Harold

after four tornadoes had set
down. There was extensive
damage observed. Fields
were under water, and many
farmers did not have their
crop harvested.
As result of the storm, the
Oregon travelers experienced
aome difficulty in finding
motel rooms. They were glad
to leave that particular area
the following morning the
rains continued.

interest on the return trip to
Oregon, auch as the Little

weather most of their trip, and
had no trouble obtaining
gasoline.

Conservation and Curtailment
of Energy Encouraged by
Columbia Dasln Electric Co-op
Savings Through Insulation
The single most important factor in reducing the amount of energy needed to
heat your home is proper insulation. It is the most money saving, energy
conserving measure a home-owner can take.
Insulation saves you money every day of the heating season-as much as 50
per cent of the heating bill. Insulation retards the rate of heat escaping from
your house in winter or entering in summer. You enjoy a more comfortable
house at a substantial fuel saving. These savings can pay for the insulation
job within a few years. Above ceiling insulation gives greatest results for the
dollar spent. Contractors have skills and equipment to insulate any home,
old or new.
Storm sash, double glass and even temporary plastic covers can cut heat
losses from windows. Weather stripping on outside doors and windows will
minimize the infiltration of cold outside air.
Additional insulation tips:
Weatherstrip attic door. A 'j-inch crack under the door can lose
about $5 worth of heat each winter.
Storm windows, plastic covers or double glassing, will stop
moisture from condensing on inside of glass.
Close fireplace damper to prevent heat flow up the chimney when
fireplace is not in use (caution, only after all fire is completely out).
Cover ground in unhealed crawl space with plastic sheet vapor
barrier to reduce moisture evaporation. Crawl space ventilation
may be materially reduced during cold, windy weather if this
ground moisture is eliminated, thus warmer floors. Some cross
ventilation should be provided.

How much does it cost
to care for an empty hospital bed?
It costs about S30.000 jxt bed
to build a hospital in Oregon. But
that's just the beginning. Many
leople and a vast amount of
expensive equipment must be
available day and night in case
someone needs the bed. So main
taining or caring for a bed,
whether it's emptv or occupied,
costs S29.000ayear.
That's why it's important that
there aren't too many beds or too
few beds in any community.
Too many beds raise the cost of
health care unnecessarily. Too few
beds can be disastrous. To prev ent
either jssibility. voluntary Health
Planning Associations in Oregon
guide the planning for adequate
health facilities, services, and man
power throughout the state.
In addition, they help coordi
nate emergency services. They
look into health problems caused
by the environment. They help
eliminate duplication of expensive
facilities and equipment. Thev
look to see if hospitals, mental
health care sen-ices, public health
clinics, and treatment centers are
adequate. They plan for health
care just as people in the com
munity plan for schools-highways
urban development.
These organizations are set up
throughout the state. There is one
State Comprehensive Health
Planning Authority. And there are
14 local Comprehensive Health
Planning Associations which are
dependent upon local financing
in order to obtain matching
federal funds.
Although the Comprehensive
Health Planning Associations are
staffed by professionals, con
sumers now have a voice in health
planning in Oregon. In fact, 51
percent of the members of the
boards must be non-professionals.
These people, along with pro
fessionals, meet to review health
care needs in Oregon.
How does Blue Cross of
Oregon fit into this?
We feel that Comprehensiv e
Health Planning is the most
effectiv e way to assure qualitv care
and contain rising health care
costs. So our staff members serve
on Comprehensive Health Plan
ning boards and committees. And
we help these organizations
financially.
We know that this investment
will pay off for all the people we
serve. After all. we can't honestly
say we care for people unless we do
even-thing we can to help them.
If you'd like to learn more
about planning for health care in
Oregon, just contact your local
Comprehensive Health Planning
Association or write to Blue Cross
of Oregon for information.
