F u lly Insured A F A D Electricity in the home, the office or the manufacturing establishment, is not a fad or a fashion subject to changing styles or to be discarded as a passing whim. It is just as much an essential commodity as any other commodity re quired in the operation of these institutions. Fashions in methods of its utilization may vary from time to time, but its usefulness and the need for it are basic. We are in the business of manufacturing, selling and distributing this commodity. It is our business to furnish a never-failing supply of kilowatt- hours and to distribute them in the most efficient manner possible. This is what constitutes servce. The best possble service at the lowest possible cost is our one aim, and we recognize that only by the accomplish ment of this aim can we discharge our obligations to the individual and the community. Just imagine how beneficial it would be if the thousands and thou sands of dollars we spend on new theories could be controlled and turned over to our successful men and women who already have built a worthy en terprise affording our group employ m ent3 If they could build their own organizations, from nothing, to suc cessful quarter-million, halt-million and million-dollar enterprises, it seems to this writer, that they and they alone should be the nucleus around which to center our new financial and in dustrial eiforts. If we have any idle dollars to ex periment with why not turn them over to those who have proven that they know how to handle and increase them? Isn’t that reasonable? Dollar Diplomacy?

But there are many, many smiles Tis said there are miles and miles of smiles. There is the glad suulc, and there is the sad smile; there is the good snulc, and there is the bad smile; there is the big smile, and there is the little smile; there is the straight smile, and there is the crooked smile. Yes, there are smiles, and smiles, and smiles. But of all the smiles, the greeter's smile is the one that has a style all its own. Some call it the “sur face" smile. It is the smile that is es pecially prepared for the purpose. It is a ''cafeteria" smile. One that is cooked, dished up, and always ready to deliver. All it requires is the cus tomer—the receiver. Yes, there are smiles and smiles, nd we see artists in the great game of smiling.

RUGS - CARPETS - OVER STUFFED FURNITURE N O T Almost weekly, certainly monthly, there comes into being a new or re vamped organization of one kind or another, all with glowing promises of being the nucleus around and within which we are to be led out of the wilderness and directed to the paths of economic, social, religious, frater nal and political freedom. They all have one thiug in common and that is to first obtain the dollars from those whom they so alluringly seek to help. • • • Our race should well know, from experience, that dollars alone, even in massing them, does not spell success. The elements of youth, new theories, spirited desires or even a degree oi militancy when added to the dollars do not necessarily insure success. Should we add to these constituent parts, however, the most necessary elements of experience, tact and judg ment, then, and only then, can we be assured of being on the road to an assured success. G.

There are nutters which liaie been developed in the study of the condi tions which need legislative action, and these are given herewith in tile hope that when your committee con siders tile prison budget you will give your earnest attention to the recom mendations: 1. The fire hazard it of the great est importance. There is no proper fire protection of any part of the prison. I’hc water supply is most inadequate and of insufficient pressure. The pumping apparatus is not properly rquii>ped. There are no sprinkling de uces in the cell blocks. As these arc of mill construction, if a fire should originate m either one, a holocaust worse than the Ohio disaster could not be avoided. The antiquated sep arate-cell padlock system of J27 cells would condemn the prisoners to cer tain death. In addition nuy wc point out the lack of any fire drill. ■— FINLEY'S Trail«* Mark Emblem I h the Tree of IMMORTAL LIFE Us* Our N*w Parking Space For Fun eral Car* at Fourth and Montgomery Street* I PUNI I Y (AON M O K I I« I \ S \ *>• •• > I’lie Oldest Negro Business In Portlnnd Is . . . .

CANNADY, Manager 2 The ventilation of the cell blocks is worse than none, and its continu ance is inhuman—even beasts arc more carefully housed. Owing to the lack of toilet facilities, the air in the upper cell tiers is intolerable. This situation is intensified by the over crowded condition of the prison. J. The hospital it such in name only—and i* most inadequate. There should be at least one attendant who is a properly accrediatcd trained nur*e. There is no attempt at segre gation of patients—the very ill from those slightly affected—the contagious from the non-contagious patients. But a short time ago a patient died of tu bcrculosis, in this so-called hospital, the day after he was pardoned. There stems to be no special treatment for patients suffering from serious condi tions, such as cancer, tuberculosis, erysipelas (now known as highly con tagious) or venereal diseases. The diet kitchen is not properly cared for and the diet of the lick receives but indif ferent attention. The fire escape is but an excuse for such and would be worse than useless as none but an able bodied person could use it. It would certainly be of no benefit for a sick or disabled person. In the women's quar ters we found no equipment for the treatment for venereal diseases. 4. Some effort should be made to install bathing equipment for the pris oners. The present arrangements arc crude and insufficient. The dusty work in the flax plant should call for fur ther attempt in this direction. In addi tion to tile foregoing may we stress the need for separation of the young first offenders—from the older type of prisoner. Our survey shows that the greater number of men arc under 30 years of age, with several 16 years of age. This is not intelligent care. There should be also some steps taken to ward psychiatric analysis of the men upon entrance to the prison. — o— I.ast but of primal importance is the need for some direction in the build ing campaign now going on. The new cell block is entirely too near the old cell blocks, shutting off, as it docs, both light and air. The real need is an entirely new plant on an entirely dif- MILLER & TRACEY Perfect Furienti Service Our Merchandise and Service Certificates Save You from 20 to 60'V CALL US IN CONFIDENCE—ANY HOUR- DAY OR NIGHT WASHINGTON STREET Between 20th and 21at llRoatiwuv 2 6 9 0 BRoadwuy 2691 ferent location. This we realize is not possible at present. But the present building program is our responsibility, and wc ask your patient and earnest attention. The prisoners are human beings who must be returned to life outside of prison walls, and our treat ment of them on the inside will de termine the type of citizens wc arc sending back to normal life.
