A FT E R T H E HOLIDAYS
How quickly the yl.imour of the lights, the
sparkling of the tinsel .md the greenery of
the fir fxiughs fades after the holidays. Those
who try to prolong the festive atmosphere of
the pre-Christmas days see their decorations,
their works of art which inspired exclamations
of approval and reactions of charm but two
w e e k s ago, find that Christmas decorations
near the end of the holiday season look as
forlorn and out-of-place as a summer suit in
January
The family Christmas tree, so re-
tently the center of attraction in home gather
ings, has lost many of its needles and lies
dejected in the ash heap.
But if the spirit of good will and benevo
lence that characterizes the Christmas season
could only carry over into the new year, when
resolutions calling for temperance, forbear
ance and restraint are brought into action,
how much more worth while the holiday
season would be.
THE NEW STATE TREA SU RER
One of Governor Martin’s last official acts
was the appointment ot Walter Pierson to fill
the uiiexpued term oi Rufus Holman as State
Trcasurei
W e feel that no finer man could
have been appointed to fill this office, and
we Iwlieve that Hood River County, as well
as all ol Oregon will profit by the appointment
of Pierson.
Quiet, unassuming, efficient and pleasant,
Pierson will go a long way toward being the
most popular State Treasurer Oregon has had
for many years.

Invr.Intent I , were 10 follow*
days in autumn and early winter leaves one
with something of a feeling of relief, for Mr.
Average Citizen is usually tired of holidays
by the time the New Year rolls around. How
ever, an occasional day of rest, relaxation,
diversion or recreation is a Godsend to many
a person, and there is no doubt that holidays
.ire regarded as milestones in the work of the
year.
W e w'ould like to look forward now to some
memorable occasion in late winter or early
spring for a day s rest from labor. Whether
it would be Washington s birthday, the Ides
of March
or the facetious Ground Hog s
Day is no matter. W e want a holiday some
time during the long stretch just to break up
things a little bit.

I n , warranty deed,
In reading over an item dated ten years ago
that stated Americans were ruining their
stomachs and digestive organs by indulging
in the tooth some “hot dog,’ we wrere com
pelled to line it up with a recent bit of hot
dog news.
The promoters of the Golden
Gate International Exposition have figured
that the number of hot dogs to be consumed,
if stretched out together, will reach 273 miles.
"This doctor, ten years ago, tried to take from
us the best square meal a nickel can buy, but
present day figures show that Americans
continue to eat and enjoy them. So often folks
find that what they like most is put on the
"mustn't touch shelf, but it seems that the
hot dog is still in favor, at least the carnivals,
county fairs, roadside stands, and town
"beaneries’ can attest to the fact that the
stomach of America still likes its hot dog.
Nothing seems to cheer the average fellow
when he s m trouble as much as knowing that
the other fellow is in trouble, too.
From what we have seen of gas masks, it
our belief that the Europeans may succeed
in making war look awfully silly.
