Occupancy Of USO Viewed At meeting scheduled for t p. m., Saturday, the USO op rations committee will make decision concerning a request from the Commercial Mainte nance company that it be al lowed to use the second floor of thb building leased by the USO at 11th and Walnut. Ben Trippett of Commercial Maintenance recently purchased the building but until the ex piration of the USO's lease, the approval of the operations committee is necessary before Commercial Maintenance can move into the second floor. If the action is passed by the committee, a recommendation will be made to the national USO, who will make the final decision. Here for the meeting will be Maj. Henry H. Koerner, re ' cional supervisor of the Salva tion Army USO, and Mrs. Clara Alcroft, regional executive of the national USO. Other business to be taken up at the nn;eting will be the selection of five new members to serve on the committee. Hal A. Yetman, director of the local USO, explained that formerly the five positions were held by an officer representing the army men stationed at Camp .Tulelake, two officers from the naval air station, and two from the Marine Barracks. Since there is uncertainty about the future of these mili tary installations, according to Yetman,, the committee will fill the vacancies from the ci vilian population.

Flu Most Prevalent Disease In Oregon '' PORTLAND, Jan. 16 (JP) In fluenza was the most prevalent disease in Oregon last week, with 219 cases, the state board of health reported today.

Dav slews (Continued tronV'Page One) to the Pacific, and by our Mon roe Doctrine we staked out our claim to a sphere of influence including the entire Western Hemisphere. At the drop of a hat, we'd have FOUGHT ANY BODY who tried to stop us. Our motto then was plainly: . "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." We too struck terror to the world's thrones and the old ways of life. . . THIS is the historical moral: Neither we nor the French RUINED THE WORLD. Instead our systems of democratic gov ernment and rights of the in dividual BETTERED THE WORLD immensely. If vou will read your history thoughtfully, you will find in its pages much reason to hope that we shall be able to get along peacefully and profitably with a Russia that lias only barely emerged from serfdom and is filled with the - historic fervor of LIBERATED peoples. We and the French calmed down greatly after our post revolutionary upsurge of nation alism. It is probable that Rus sia will do likewise.

Joe and Anne Earley Proprietor! New Pine Creek Although the weather was not too favorable and many grangers stayed home around their farm fires, still there was a fair turnout at the East Side grange meeting held last Satur day evening with nearly every newly elected officer being pres ent, as well as nearly all the re tiring officers and others. The new officers are an enthusiastic bunch and an ambitious program for the coming year was out lined. Prodded by the drive and forcefulness of big, six-foot Lute Miller, newly elected master, surely a year of accom plishment lies ahead for the local organization. The matter of either enlarging the present lodge room or build ing on a sizable kitchen was thoroughly discussed and action upon the matter will no doubt be taken in the near future when materials and workmen are available and a program for fi nancing the undertaking has been worked out. The need for a grange park, fully equipped with swimming pool, playground apparatus, tables, camp stoves, ball dia mond, and ample beautification development was expounded and with the site up the canyon of some 30 acres already picked out and available, it is expected that action on this project will be taken some time during the year. A youth program was also talked up and something in the way of special educational and amusement facilities will be worked out for the young folks i of the grange which group : is rapidly growing. A March of. Dimes ball .is scheduled for this Saturday eve ning, January 12, at the grange hall with the public cordially in vited to attend. Each grange lady is to bring sandwiches and a salad of some kind. Tickets for the dance will be 60 cents and a well-rounded plate lunch will be 50 cents. Music will be provided by the East grange or-1 chestra.
