Hutchinson, pastor of the Upper Valley- United church, of Park dale. and Jacob D. Allen, former Cal ifornia, pubHclIy man who for a num her tff~ years was in charge of pub licity work for Hunnel magasbie. Mr. Hutchinson urged that visitors here in the future should not think they iiad beheld Hood River untjl tbegr had made a trip to the Upper Valley, lie characterised a view of the Lower Valley like a mere stepping onto tin- front poi'-h to see a beautiful man sion. Mr. Hutchinson paid a tribute to the apple bloom, which wns nsire like a thing of beauty. He declared he could look on the sweetly ix-rfumed blossoms and see the promise of the harvest. “I can see new comforts for the htime, new automobiles, college de- green and honeym<xms honey niotms in these blooms.

His ad- dress was an nppeal to his hearers to be of service to their community by individual enteriM-ise and coo|>era- Uon. He quoted ex-President Wilson. “The Htrength of America lies In well organized communities,” and ex-Pres- irtent Harding, “I care not what posi tion. a man may mous-ntarUy find himself in. you can measure his stan dard of usefulness to America by the services he has rendered to kis com munity.” In justification of such or ganisations as chambers of coaunerce. “Americanisni.” said Mr. AJIen. “Is the doing of the front and back porch jobs of our own home towns.
