LEST W E FO R G ET A Visitor’s Impression A recent visitor to Portland who has a national reputation for doing big things in a business way, said :' ‘‘I have.seen your fine churches, your big hotels and well conducted | barber shops, but there is one thing which I think prevents you from 1 having other prosperous businesses like other cities have, and that is your seeming unconcern. You have among you some intelligent people, | but they seem to be concerned only about themselves. In fact, your peo ple here seem to have no group' consciousness.” And so say we. That’ll Hold Her! “If you will step outside of this church, I will whip the stuffin'* out of you 1” said Sister Fannie Cole at Texerkana, Ark., a few weeks ago when she became all ‘‘het’’ up over some remarks made by the pastor during the delivery of his sermon. The next morning in Court, the judge said “Twenty dollars. We guess that'll hold her for a while.” Wouldn’t it be a fine sig nai ap- predation for our slave parents if the U. S. Congress would give to their descendants the million and a half dollars due them from the Freedman bank failure, of recon struction days?

How many Christmas Seals have you purchased to date? Isn't U possible tor you to buy a few more between now and the 35th? They only cost a penny apiece you know. And they mean so much! In case yon never took time to realise Just how much, let ua tip you oS. It Is something you should know. The sal* ot these eeala, at this period of year, furnlahea prac tically the tola support ot the 1,400 affiliated tuberculosis associations of the United States In their war against this disease. That'« worth turning over In your mind. Isn't It? And what have theta little seals ac complished to dateT What hare those 1.400 affiliated associations accomplished with the money real- lxed from the sale of these seals? Well, here’s the answer; and 1L too, la worth more than a passing thought. In the past 15 year* th# ravages of tuberculosis has been cut nearly In half and advance figures from 4« states Indicate that the 1128 mor tality sets a new low rate. That’s the hugs public service you can assist by the purchaae of these seals. Certainly a sport fan should be anxious to help this cause. Tubcrculos's has robbed the sports world of some of its greatest j heroes. Christy Msthawson. who hslped lift baseball to a higher plane, who brought into the gams the tradi tions of college spirit, was struck from behind by this dread spectre Bo waa Hughle Jennings, one of the most beloved figures of the game. Johnny Miller, great in- fielder with Pittsburgh, Bt. Louis and Philadelphia, one of the first | of the professional ball players to enlist for aervlce In the World War, was another.
