Heved that this can be done so that
actual construction work can be com
inclined early in tho spring.
The importance of keeping the
road open to travel during the months
of July, August, Kept umber and
October so as not to interfere with
the Crater Lake travel was impressed
upon the" forestry men by the local
speakers, and sutisiactory assurances
were made that a most earnest ef
fort would bo made to so direct Hit
contracting work that those sections
where construction work would
necessarily block traffic, could be
worked out during the. earlier or later
months of next season.
At tho October meeting of the

And, whereas, In most communities ;

And, whereas, it has not been the

Gifts That Endure
A gift has a body nnl a spirit How lnnr? does the spirit of the gift last in tha
mind of the one who has renoivod it. Does it help any if the hody of thte gift
i
lasts. Does it make any difference, whether the gift is useless or useful.
Of course it depends on tho person who gives and the one who receives. .Some,
people do not appreciate useful gifts. But there is also a Society for tlit Pre
vention of Useless Gifts. AVhen in doubt give a gift that is useful, it wilL help
bless the one to whom it in given whether or not you arc blessed in return.
A Universal Gift
There is a gift for every son and daughter and father and mother which no- one
thought of giving ten years ago, and which some stupid people would ntjver
dream of giving. It seems too material and tinpoetical.
But a convenience outlet is n real gift. For father a base plug in his favonitc
corner, and a lanip to go with it. For mother a convenience outlet for !hcr
sewing machine, and a motor to run it. For the boy and girl couvenieticc
outlets in their own rooms. Birthdays and Christmnsses may last tlhe
year round.
