BOYS AND GIRLS TO VIE IN CONTEST DEE WILL BENEFIT FROM MARKET FUND HOOD RIVER PEOPLE . LIKE “VOU AND I” A major road operation of Hood- River county will be the construction of a macadam highway north from Winans toward Odell, in order to give the orchardists of Dee Flat; district a better way to get to and from the city. The county court has agreed to expend the entire market road fund for 1925, a sum that will reach $28,000, on such an undertaking. The taew road will be put on a grade to conform to state specifications and then will be surfaced with macadam. A large delegation of Dee Flat ofchardists were present at a meeting of the court as was a representation from the Oregon Lumber Co. It was cited that the pear and apple tonnage of Dee Fiat district is increasing as rapidly each season now as any dis trict of the valley and that better highways are needed in transporting the heavy tonnage. It was unanimously declared the sentiment. of those appealing to the county court that the main trank road to Dee should extend from Tuck ers Bridge up the route of the old river road, which intersects the Die- Odeli road near the ranch place of Geo. T. Prather. Botulism Guarded Against Representatives of three state health boards went into consultat km with members of the Northwest Can nera’ association at the closing ses sion in Portland last week in a move to standardize manufacturing process es for the elimination of the danger of botulism. Discussion of precau tions. with possible legislation in Oregon, Washington and California, brought the business of tlie four-day convention at the American Can com pany to a close. Action may result in legislation pre scribing certain processes In the can ning of vegetables, with tile addition of inspectors to see that the provi sions of the law are carried out. The proposal came as the result of an in vestigation in which Dr. K. F. Meyer, of the University of California, repre sentative of the board of health of that state, wks said to have spent four years. Rapir» Threatens to Sue Ford Aaron 8apiro, counsel for several farmers’ co-operative organizations, mailed to Henry Ford last week a document preliminary to a projected LINOLEUMS n libel suit for fl,000,000 against Mr. Ford. Hood River people who were pres ent to a gratifying number Monday night to see the Moroni Olsen play ers in “You and I," presented at the Itiaito theatre under auspices of the local chapter of the Association of American University Women, were Highly pleased. “You and I,” by Philip Barry, which won a Harvard award for the excellence of oppor tunities, lived up to Its reputation Monday night. The audience was a little slow in getting started, but be- for the first act was well under way the men and women, the young folk and the old folk were reacting to the subtle humor of the rare comedy. Boon spontaneous laughs were coming from everywhere. The Moroni Olsen players, all of them, are finished actors. Their handling of the noted vehicle was faultless. Mr. Olsen himself played the part of Maitland White, a man wlio married young at a time when his greatest desire, except the one of wedding Nancy, was that of becoming a noted painter. The comedy is woven around that 20-year, undying desire to paint and the feeling on the part of Mr. White that lie ought to be a great painter instead of a business man, and then:—____ Kerplunk! The only son of Mr. and .Mrs. White gets into just aliout the same situation that caught the father and mother up In the net of life 20 years before. Veronica Duane is the girl, and Dorothy Adams, who has beauty as well as histrionic abil ity, was a mighty fine Ronnie Duane. There is just a little of pathos stirred into action by Veronica wringing a broken heart in the last art. Sumner Chase Cobb played the |iart of mod ern youth, Roderick White, the son. Janet Young was Nancy White, the wife. Byron Foulger was G. T. War ren, the btislni-ss man, “who smiled through to success" in the upbuilding of a soap concern, in which Mr. White was employed. Ix*ora Thatcher played “Etta.” the maid, whose emu lative qualities, after she had become Mr. White’s model, inspired many laughs. It would tie difficult to find a co terie of actors whose work blends better than the Moroni Olsen players. They are growing in popularity with Hood River audiences. They deserve popularity. ★ t k ★ ★ » 1; ★ ★ The Car for The Millions B with The Million Dollar Motor I >• ’.1 i ★ v - ■ ' ★ Under the Hood—the Million Dollar < *•- ★ Motor 1 I T TO GIVE YOU A BETTER MOTOR r..: X if L r- 4 = & ★ 4 ★ f* ' 4 More than a million dollars have been invested in special machinery, tools and equip* ment devoted exclusively to the production of this New Star motor.
