They are insig nificant in themselves, but are of high value when used in the proper way. They are ‘please’ and ‘thank you'. Their use marks a great difference in the characters of the members of the human race. They can be used by young and old and by the rich and the poor. A sincere please’ or ‘thank you’ is the mark of good upbringing and a regard for others, and they can be real day brighteners.’” $'4.00 a YEAR — 10c a Copy Santiam Bean Festival Io Get Underway Friday With Crowning of Queen The 1970 Santiam Bean Fes tival gets underway, Friday Stayton merchants are plan July 24, with the crowning of ning a side walk sale beginning a queen to reign over the at 9 a.m. The Mission Sreet week’s festivities.
