RED CROSS CHRISTMAS
Have we grown aa enthusiastic aa we
should over the Red Crocs campaign of
this week? If we haven't, it is time
all of us were breathing in again a lit
tie of the "Oregon First" spirit. Be
fore Saturday night cornea every man
and woman in Hood River county
should have his 1918 membership card
in the American Red Cross.
Certainly each of us can take $1
from his Christmas appropriation and
give it to the Red Cross. It will be
all the better if you make your appro
priation for the Red Cross (2, thus
getting the Red Cross magazine, which
will keep you informed of the activi
ties of the great humanitarian organiz
ation throughout the year.
The campaign of this week is na
tional. It is not confined merely to
Oregon or to Hood River county. In
every town and hamlet patriotic men
and women will be soliciting 1918
memberships. Let us of Hood River
maintain our record. It may be that
some may be found who have the heart
but not the dollar with which to pay
for a memberhsip. In such a case we
need a Hood River county Louis Simp
son to furnish the dollar. If anyone is
found who has the dollar and refuses
membership, you may record that one
aa an indiffernt wretch without a heart
or a pro-German.
In a recent report for the year the
aims of the Red Cross are broadly set
forth as aa follows :
1. To be ready to care for our sol
dies r and sailors on duty wherever and
whatever that care may be needed.
2. To shorten the war by strength
ening the morale of the allied peoples
and their armies, by alleviating their
sufferings in the period which must
elapse until the American army can
become fully effective abroad.
3. To lay the foundations for an en
during peace by extending a message
of practical relief and sympathy to the
civilian population among our allies,
carrying to them the expression of the
finest side of the American character,
But one-half of the funds that will
be collected this week will be left with
the respective individual chapters for
the puchase of supplies and local relief
work.
NEXT TUESDAY
None of ua in Hood River has ever
experienced just such a Christmas as
this will be. As we figure up we find
that approximately 300 boys of Hood
River county are in the service of their
country. I he sons or many oi our
mothers for the first time in their lives
will be absent from the home fireside
next Tuesday morning, and tears will
shine in the eyes of those mothers
when they see those empty places, but
through the mist of the tears will
gleam a light of mother pride and she
will smile as she pictures the joy that
will possess her boy when he opens the
package she has worked so fondly to
prepare and send him at his canton
ment or training camp.
We saw a little girl the other day
she could not have been more than
three years old coming from the post
office. She bore proudly in her little
hands a package. Everyone she met,
it made no difference that she had never
seen him before, she told of that pack
age. Her joy was supreme Grandma
had sent her a Christmas package, and
it was written in her own name. Those
boys at training camps are going to
experience some of that same joy next
Tuesday morning.
We know the mothers have not for'
gotten their sons, but how about the
rest of us? Good friendly letters from
us folks here at home will go far to
ward supplementing Yuletide pleasures
carried by presents from members of
the family. And those letters should
not be limited to Christmastime. We
should write them frequently good,
newsy letters, telling all about every
thing in the home town or community.
They will mean much to the boy in the
service.
There is always a silver lining to
every cloud. Aren't you glad that all
of this recent precipitation was not in
the form of snow?

Plaintiff is Arrested
J. L. Allen, formerly pastor of the
Heights Baptist church, has filed in
circuit court a suit against Mr. and
Mrs. Marshall Hill, from whom he asks
damages to the extent of $5,000, alleg
ing that the defendants because of an
tagonism to him defamed his character
and made obligatory his resignation as
pastor of the church.
The plaintiff in the case was himself
arrested yesterday by State Fire Mar
shal Harvey West, Geo. W. Stokes and
Sheriff Johnson on a charge of. arson
and lodged in the city jail. It is al
leged that Mr. Allen leased a house at
Cascade Locks, where he stored two
boxes of articles. He secured an in
surance policy for $900 at The Dalles.
The statejfire officials came here at the
instigation of Cascade Locks officials.
The house leased by the minister,
property of Mrs. Mary C Lee, as well
as the adjoining place of L. C. Day,
was destroyed by the fire.
Washout Delays Trains
The eastbound local was delayed
from 10.30 until 2.45 yesterday by a
washout at Bridal Veil. The heavy
rains have also caused numerous small
slides which cause section crews be on
the alert.
Water High at Dee
The Hood river at Dee yesterday
morning, reached the hiphest mark in
the history of the Oiwm Lumber
ComDanv plant there. Water stood
four feet deep in the boiler room of
the sawmill.
The boys in France sincerely appro
ciate letters from home, according to
Mark E. Moe, now a member of the
89th Aero Squadron in expeditionary
service.
"It seems to make a difference in
the letters we receive, writes young
Moe, "when we are over here. There's
a bit of svmDathv and a world of pa
thos in the missives that used to bring
oiilv ordinary conversation. In the re
plies that 1 have received to the first
tellers 1 aeni irom nere, everyone oi
fers to send everything that a person
could need for a hard winter. Believe
me such letters as that are appreciated
by the boys that are living all out of
tune with their natural lives.
"We would be able to send many
Christmas presents if the government
wouia allow us, ior we are pain wen
and recrularlv. but as it is compara
tively few gifts -will be sent. No
fragile articles of any kind should be
sent to us from the States, because so
many of them never reach here safely,
even though the mail system is very
efficient.
"I am working in a supply depart
ment of an air depot now and consider
myself very lucky, because it means an
inside job lor the winter
H. L. Hasbrouck has received a llet
ter from his son, H. L. Hasbrouck,
Jr., who announces his arrival at the
radio school at Goat Island. Young
Hasbrouck writes that he has been put
at work doing guard duty. He says he
likes the quarters mighty well.
Constable Olinger Monday recieved a
letter from his son, W infield S. Olin
ger, who announced that he bad enlist
ed at Reno, Nev., where he has been
residing for the past several months.
The young man, whose father was an
officer of the old Co. D, Third Oregon,
at one time the pride of Hood River,
stated that he was just leaving for a
Texas cantonment for training.
Walter Kresse writes his brother,
Hermann O. Kresse, that he has en
listed in the naval medical reserve
corps. This branch of the service is
limited to students of medical and
dental colleges. Mr. Kresse is a stu
dent of the medical school of the Uni
versity of Oregon.

TO THE PUBLIC:
It has just reached our attention that reports are be

Cross work, that certain officers and workers of the local

We desire to brand such statements as malicious
falsehoods and will state further that not one cent has
been paid in salaries or personal expenses of any sort to
anyone connected with the Hood River Chapter.
