Som etim es these issues were stressed to the extrem e and per sonalities entered in. M onday afternoon we sat in on th e closed conference w ith J. D. R oss and his financial advisor, Isaac Com eaux. L ater we spent tw o hours a t dinner w ith them . R ecently we have spent consider able tim e w ith the P ortland C ham ber of Com m erce officials and o th e r interested parties. As a result of these conferences the Chronicle feels th a t the tim e has arrived for the citizens of C ascade Locks to present a united front. The Chronicle feels th a t problem s th a t are shortly to come before ou r com m unity are fa r too g reat to be jeopardized by petty, local differences in opinions and p erson alities. L et us all get around one table, listen and consider the other fel low ’s point of view a little bit m ore th a n w e havei in th e past, cut out th ese back alley politics and show th e world th a t C ascade Locks is ready. LEGION CHRISTM AS PARTY A letter from Ed C lark of the A m erican Legion tells us of the final plans for the F ourth A nnual A m erican Legion C hristm as p arty to be held at the Bonneville Civic A uditorium on W ednesday, Dec. 22 . In the fall of 1934 about this tim e of the year, E d dropped in to our little print shop on th e hill in C ascade Locks and asked fo r our cooperation in the pu ttin g on of a huge C hristm as p arty for the C hildren of the dam area. T h at enterp rise w as the beginning of one of the p leasan test annual oc casions th a t has occurred in the dam area and it will continue as such for years 10 come. To you, Ed, and your helpers, w e send you ou r greetings and best w ishes to the fourth ann ual A m erican legion C hristm as party. More pow er to an organization th at can create and m aintain such an ann ual institution as the C hristm as p arty . EVERY BO DY’S BU SIN ESS A m erica is beginning to realize th a t the unem ploym ent problem is A m erica's business—not ju st the business of the county, th e state and the federal governm ent. R eports have com e from an A m erican Legion m eeting in the sta te of W ashington, th at this group is m aking a study and is a d van cin g a plan of lim iting the num ber of breadw inners per fam ily and advocating other program s to re lieve the present distress. The Council for Social Action of the C ongregational C hurch recen t 1 y held a m eeting for th is district at T he Dalles, attended by Hood R iv e r m en, w here this group's pro g ram w as outlined, and Included in it w ere plans for a study of th e u n em ploym ent problem . It seem s th a t groups which exist fo r civic betterm ent, are including In th eir prog ram s unem ploym ent as a w orthw hile project. It is a THE SONGS OF CHRISTMAST1DE The Christmastide is one of song, Its notes ring everywhere They echo in the stately church: A re broadcast on the air: he carolers upon our streets Sing out the story fair: The little children's hymn of cheer Drives from us worldly care. Tis " Silent N ig h t” at Christmastide: The N o e l rings out clear, ” Come A ll Y e Faithful” bids mankind T o put away his fear: W e hear the "H erald A n g els” song O f peace, good will found here. A n d all that Christmas hymnody That tells man joy is near. ; 7 — J. Kelly Buck W W W W W W W W W H W W W W H W W W W W W W W good om en. T he “let G eorge do it” attitu de h as prevailed too m uch in the past, and th e governm ent has borne th e b ru n t of th e responsibil ity. It is to be hoped th a t th e idea spreads to o th er circles, fo r the sooner unem ploym ent problem s be com e the in terest of A m erican peo ple as a whole, the sooner the solu tions will com e about. It is a broad subject, involving m ore th an the usual num ber of w herefrom s, w hereases, w herefors and w heretos. Schools of thought on the topic are a t varian ce. One group m ain tain s lab o r-sav in g m a chinery obviously decreases em ploym ent, w hile the m odernists claim it adds to em ploym ent, for m en m ust build the lab or-sav ing m achines, production is increased, etc. Involved in th e sub ject is also length of w orking hours, d istrib u tion of w ealth, business cycles, ages of retirem ent, trends of popu lation, vocational education and re habilitation, and the self-respect of th e m an w ho loses his job. It is a social as well as an ec onom ic subject, and it ap p ears th a t civic groups, com posed of m en and w om en of integrity, sin cerity and intelligence, can do m uch to solve th e problem w hich h as becom e p a r am ount in m odern civilization. W hen the fam ily finally p er suades Dad to have his picture m ade he only hopes th a t it w on't look any funnier th an is absolutely necessary. The difference betw een gossip and dow nright scandal is w h eth er you tell it to som eone or som eone tells it to you. T he m an w ith rips in his coat and buttons off his clothes should eith er get m arried or get a divorce.
