The community plan of c iurch service, with an athliation of a. 1 who subscribe to the tenets of the Christian religion no matter what may h ; the decina ot their individual de- .minaton, seems to have found favor Hood Kiver from the very time ten- t live plans were launched. A budget mmittee, with lruman Hutler, past ember of the board of trustees of the k verside ConKreKatirnal church, as its ad. decided that $:,0H) would he n eded to finance the proposed itistitu- n for the year. The members of the mmittee, taking leisure moments f.om their day's business routine, ean- issed town and valley, and without aiv (treat eitort raised it he money tie red. Many sums were given volun irilv. A philanthropic woman, of New York City, who owns an orchard j ace here, heard of the plans for the mmunity church. ru pleased was e with the outlook and oppjitunity r real Christian eervice. as she ex essed herself, that she visited E. U. anchar, one of the promoters of the vv church, and left a check for f.'OH. In name and organization the Hood 1' ver community church is of the Con em-.tional denomination. he trus es of the church, however had found experience that their religious or nifction as an Individual der.omina n was not prorei-sinK. Other Hood ver churches were expenencinir a nilar fate. Fast sprint;, when the mmunity church plan was first uni ted here, Hood River had hut two irular pastors. Five churches were tthout regular pastors. The doors of oi.e had not been opened in a twelve nonlh. The communty chunh plan was riot the result of an overnight's enthusiasm. It was K'ven weeks of aidv it y representative men and wom- l. The plan of the Cont'rec.atioiial c lurch crystalized from the general search. The iiHstor of the new church, W. II. 1 oddy, despite his comparative youth, v as called here from a successful pas- irate of a church operating alonn sun ar lines at Parkdaie. Mr. ltoddy is a r. mister of the I'reshyterian rtiurcn a id attiliatea wttn ine rresoyiery 01 that denomination. Hut his church or ganization permits him to retain such atliiation while pHstor of a churrh edi lice owned by the Congregational de nomination. The rules and regulations of both church organizations are broad, perhaps broader than most denomina tions. The purposes of the new community hurch may be expressed briefly. Any Christian, proteasing a faith in the fel lowship of the Savior, is welcome to participate in the sacrament of com uiunion at the Riverside altar. No lines will be drawn in philanthropic work. It aims to render a service that will benefit and better the entire commun " - . .. .. , . liv the inauguration 01 a Minnay evening forum the new church has al ready drawn a community wide inter e.-t. It m proposed to invite prominent men here to speak on alt sides ot vital Questions of the day. As an organiza tion the forum will remain neutral. That the people of the city may inform themselves, it is proposed to present both sides of various subjects. The following prominent men have been invited to address the forum : l)t. L. II. Penrose, president of Whitman College; President Short, of the Wash ington Federation of Labor ; W. S. Mc Clatchy, publisher of the Sacramento, Calif., "liee; Kx-Representative Pill, of Snokane: W. I). Wheelwright, of Tort- land, and Dr. Roberg, secretary of the Oretron State Board of Health. Since the new community church was launched the attendance has beer steadv. An average of 250 men and women have lieen at an services, me Sunday school classes are full. The . liberal policy has drawn out many men and women who were not formerly church eoers. Each Sunday new lace? of young men and women are noted. those who nave the organization inosi at heart declare that it is not the mere attendance of men and women that they desire, but that they will aim at an active affiliation of all those inter ested. The signing of the names of those attending the church services, it is said, will result in a personal interest that otherwise would be lacking. ':'he automobile has been declared by mi ny ministers as a deterrent to sum nu r church services. This is how Tin m: n Puller expresses himself: Tti is true that many of us have al lo 'ed the motor fever to take us away f n m divine worship in the spring and su nmer months. Hereafter, 1 wish to tc.l you, I am going to make my plane. onv from noon on Sundays. 1 am go in.: to devote the morning hour to the church. I believe that many others here feel as 1 do." But the church will probably have a hireer attendance in summer months than at any other season. The Colum bin Highway will be opened and paved the entire distance to Mood Kiver. i lie pustor here, a former Reed College man and well known in Portland, and all of his congregation will otter a warm wehoT.e to any Portlander who wishes to attend divine worship after the pleasant 70 mile morning automo bile ride over the Highway. HIGHWAY STRETCH TO BE LOCATED The definite location of the last gap in the Columbia Highway covering that 14-mile section in Wasco county between Seufert and the south of the Iieschutes river, probably will be fixed in a few days. After going over the bench route Thursday afternoon Highway Commis sioners Fiooth Bnd Burgess told the Wasco county court that this road would be ifciopted provided Wasco -J county would agree tentatively to pay the difference in cost of construction as compared with that of tie route ; along the Ctlilo canal which had U-cr. i practically chosen. I A complete survey of tie ten-h ! route has not been made, but it is roughly estimated that the co.-t of gradir g it would be between fT''. and Sloo.OW greater than the lower ..r river route. In ter.ativtly choosh.g the river route the Highway Commission had taken into consideration its econ..ii, from an engineering xint, but the dis satisfaction in Wasco county over the route is founded on the contention that j the scenic advantages of the higher i location and its adaptation to local ser-! vice would more than compensate the ' diffeienee in cost if there really was any. 1 The bench route will reuuire a coin, plete new grade. Jt reaches a tnaxi-: mum height ot atiout liw Ieet ana a maximum grade of 5 per cent. lhe lower route runs between the Celilo canal and the railroad tra k, and involves the construction of two viaducts over the railroad. The menjbers of the party w ho visit ed Wasco county last week, spent VVd- nesday night at lhe lalles. 1 hey were: Herbert Nunn, R. A. Klein, Robert Johnson, R. A. Hoolh, lvid Morrison and J. N. Rurgess. Mr. Kurgess, who recenlty succeeded .1. H. Ihompson on the State Highway Com mission, is from lendletou. FROST DAMAGE IS APPEARING HEAVIER Apples received since the recent frec.e, according to a bulletin just is sued ny the sales department of the Association, show conclusively that the loss will be greater than was apparent at first. Fruit that was on the trees or in the orchards was slightly frosted. Much of this fruit, the bulletin contin ues, came through the lreezo appar- ntly without harm, and naturallv was packed alter having been allowed to thaw out slowly. The tnly apparent damage seems to be an advancing rip ening. "Our inspectors, however, the bul tin statts, "have discovered that ap ples apparently perfect when passing over the grading table, are developing bruises where they have touched other Iruit or wheie they have been bumped in handling. Apples handled over rading machines a few days ago and which did not show a blemish, are now covered with bruises, some small, other large, according to the bumping they received or the pressure against the next apple in the box. Some speci- neus thow as many as lo bruises, and here seems to be no exceptions. Fruit from every district appears the same. 'Apples which were in the orch ards, on trees or in boxes, cannot he received m our warehouses at present. Only fruit that was picked prior to the treeze and under cover can be accept ed. The reason for this drastic rule is that our warehouses are so congested that it is impossible to segregate this fruit that has been frosted from that which was not. We cannot put the frosted and bruised fruit in with the better stock and load them together. It would he the heighth of fully to send this bruised fruit into the market at this time in order that it might go into consumption promptly, for the resaon that it would absolutely ruin Hood River's reputation as a premier fruit growing district and make initios- ibie the selling of good stuck if the good stock was held back until the bruised fruit had been sold, if the tia.le would accept the bruised fruit. "Apples that were picked and pro tected will be received as fast as ron itions will permit, but our advice is not to pack the fruit that was frosted, but to set it aside and await develop ments. Crowers who desire to pack the frested fruit may do so, but we cannot receive it now, and we would suggest that if you do pack this stock that you use plain paper. Rut remem- lier, you must make arrangements to hold such stock yourself. "Please understand that the man agement is not trying to be arbitrary, but is trying to handle the most ditli- eult situation in the best interest of all. The various trials we are meeting with this year would drive a saint to diink (if such a thing were obtain able). Car shortage, box shortage, paper shortage, labor shortage, and warehouse shortage and now the freeze. Hood River's reputation must he maintained as a fruit producing sec tion, for the future must be considered as well a the present. Cooperate as far as it lies in your power. F:very employe and every officer of the organ ization is trying to do everything pos sible to make the best out of the worst situation we have ever faced."
