Hospital Service Group Organized for Work Lights and Blackouts Have you prepared your home for a Black out? If not, get busy and do it soon. Have the room you intend to use (probably the kitchen and bathroom) extra well lighted. The children will have to get their lessons there so they will need plenty of light. Have light coming from several directions to do away witli shadows. Have your aerial extended to the kitchen so your radio may be used. Have a few games handy and learn in advance to play them with the children. Have a bucket of sand anu a shovel near by and also a flashlight with two thicknessess of white paper over it. Lock the door leading from your blacked out room so you will not thoughtlessly open it and let cut a beam of light that may light the Way for a bomber. Stay at home, indoors and remain calm. See that others do the same. Oregon Gas & Electric Co Purpose Told— The purpose of the councils is to have organized efforts expended in the furnishings of needed materials in the camps and hospitals. The ac tivities of the Red Cross chapters will be coordinated so that those ac tivities could be used to the best ad vantage of the military organization within a given area. It is hoped that much duplication and needless ef fort can be avoided by making it possible for the field directors to go directly to the council chairman with requests and it will be the duty of the chairmen to see that the various chapters fulfill the requests. The council will suppy ser-vices and materials to meet particular needs at particular places. It is not necessary that the councils them selves meet all requests but that the council's should act as a clearing house, and make sure that the ar ticles are needed and are sent to the proper places. For instance, ra ther than one organizatiin in a town sending materials to a hospital al ready supplied and another organi zation sending the same thing to a hospital where it is not needed, the ''rganized effort will make it possible to see that all camps and hospitals will have available the things they need. Divisions are asked to gather in metal ash ey of Scappoose; Mrs. W. Wood trays, vases of all kind; and new of Rainier; Mrs. Royal McCaffery popular phonograph records and (.f Berkenfeld and Mrs. Art Steele needles. ■ -v < • f Clatskanie.

The needs of the various camps and hospitals will be made known from the military headquarters and then the various county councils and city councils will be asked to help furnish them with a definite place in mind where they will be used. It will do away with duplications and articles that are not wanted. Each organization in the towns will be contacted to have a repre sentative on the city councils and to aid in whatever way they be asked.

Each county council will then be broken up into city councils. In the city representatives from each frat ernal and service organization who v> ish to do their bit will form a city council. In the Barnes hospital and in the other camp hospitals, rooms could be furnished for day rooms and solariums where convalescing pa tients may go to spend the hours they are permitted from their beds. These rooms are available at the hospitals but are not furnished. This is one of the projects under taken by the council. Columbia county council has pledged to furnish one of the day rooms. Settes, tables, chairs, desks, draperies, etc., are required, To equip one of the rooms is estimated at $200. Funds will be raised in the various towns of Columbia county for this purpose. cent of the pedestrians fatalities in Oregon occur before the person on foot has taken more than' three or four steps away from the curb. Often pedestrians leave the curb a few feet from the crosswalk and thus place themselves in the path of approaching vehicles, the drivers of which are not expecting such ac tions. Before starting across, the division urged, look to the left, then to the right, then back to the left. Upon reaching the center of the street, look to the right to make sure no ears are anprr aching near enough to constitute a hazard.
