ANOTHER GOOD
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM—
WE HAD a fine Christmas program in
spite of the fact that some of the children
and teachers were almost ill with colds and
that one of the leading characters, the Santa
Claus in the operetta, “Christmas Bazaar”,
was unable at the last minute to appear be
cause of illness.
As usual the Christmas tree for the oc
casion of the community Christmas celebra
tion was lovely. Some time we’re going to
find out how the committee for decorating the
tree does such a perfect job. (We always for-
get to ask until the night of the gathering.)
OUR NEW YEAR

MEASURES FOR CONTROLLING
INFLUENZA
REPORTS FROM various parts of the
state show that influenza is increasing, but
has not reached the epidemic proportions
which are prevalent at the present time in
the states of Washington and California. In
fluenza is commonly confused in people’s
minds with the common cold; but it is typic
ally a mort serious infection. The fever is
usually higher and lasts longer, and there is
a marked feeling of weakness; there is apt
to be pain in the back and limbs.
The general measures recommended by
the Oregon State Board of Health in con
trolling outbreaks of influenza are given as
follows:
1. All cases should be promptly reported.
2. All persons suffering with the influ
enza should stay at home and go to bed.
3. Crowds of all kinds should be avoided.
4. Avoid over-heated rooms and offices.
5. Keep away from persons having colds
or other symptoms of respiratory infection.
6. Wash hands before eating.
7. Sterilize all eating and drinking uten
sils.
*
8. Maintain bodily organs by outdoor
exercise.
9. Avoid fatigue and secure sufficient
sleep.
10. Do not indulge in self-diagnosis or
self-treatment. Consult a doctor.
The responsibility in the control of in
fluenza rests after all chiefly with the people
themselves.

spective. Cou begin to forget that
there are millions of farmers in tlhis
country, tilling millions if acres of
land. You forget all the miners and
the lumbermen and fishermen, and
everybody else hard at work produc
ing the national wealth of this coun
try. In shont, you get in the same
frame of mind as a lot of politic
ians.
Your Washington reporter toux a
few days off last week and left the
nation’s capital in order to talk and
listen to a lot of people who be
long to a very important segment
of our national economy. To be
exact, that group was the manufac
turers, and they were meeting in
New York City lasit week at the
Congress of American Industry. It
was the 45th Annual event of its
kind, and when you consider the
importance of industry in the pres
ent scheme of things, in the light
of our national defense effort that
meeting takes on an added measure
of importance.
The theme of the Congress of
Américain Industry this year was
“Total Preparedness for America’s
Future.” To it came industrial lead
ers from every part of the country,
and from every type of business,
large and small. They listened to a
galaxy of distinguished speakers, a
program such as has seldom been
gathered "nder one roof, and they
had a rare opportunity for discus
sion concerning the opportunitie«
and the responsibilities of industry
in the present weld and domestic
picture.
It should be encouraging for Am
ericans to hear at a time like this,
with the world in its present chaotic
and inflammable state, that these
industrialists showed the seriousness
cf their intention by the very
quality of these gatherings. Aside
from talking to them as individuals,
and learning how seriously they
took their role as the men who must
build the armaments to make this
country strong, I could not but be
impressed by the way in which they
followed the speeches at this great
meeting.
Perhaps that was only natural, of
course, for ft the Congress of Am
erican Industry this year were
gathered top-notch authorities from
nearly every field of national life.
The National Association of Manu
facturers, which sponsors these
meetings, had constructed its pro
grim with the very definite inten
tion of “Total Preparedness for
America’s Future” on the part of
all the industrialists who attended.
