partment store of Portland has been
appointed general campaign manager
in the “Build Oregon” expansion pro­
gram and Oregon Poster Stamp drive
of the Oregon State Chamber of Com­

“BUILD OREGON" MEANS
JUST WHAT IT SAYS
An unusually interesting meeting
of the Ladles Auxiliary to the Farm
Bureau was held at the club house.
Columbia park, February 7.
The
January meeting was postponed be­
cause of cold weather. The business
meeting consumed a great portion of
time because besides the regular
business, Mrs. Outwits gave a detail­
ed description of her trip to Salem
and Corvallis where she combined
business and pleasure in her travels.
She investigated plans for a com­
munity cannery and after her talk,
which was very instructive, the pres­
ident called on each member present
for opinions of the plans, etc. There
seemed to be a favorable feeling as
to the plan of going ahead and in
connection with the laundry secure
suitable quarters for both.
The social hour was one of real
pleasure under the management of
Mrs. Shannon, Mrs. Lilly and Mrs.
Christley. The latter gave a short
talk on art. Mrs. Smith won first
prize in the drawing contest and
Mrs. Snell first and Mrs. Buell con­
solation prizes in the guessing con­
test.
Substantial refreshments were
served. The next regular meeting
will be held February 21 with Mrs.
Klk as leader assisted by Mrs. Buell
and Mrs. Harr. The subject Is home
