Then shall you have life, then shall
you fulfill your destiny and not until

Some Of US think that we have a
good time when We make "a night

or worse. If you think this, you are a
down right simple fool. You are in no
position whatever to even.reaiize what
a good time is 10 understand the true
value of life. When you DO a deed
that leaves an afterthot- that you
have ruined some man, or ruined some
woman or IN anyway made fool Of
yourself-disgraced yourself you are
in no position to live and you deserve
all OF the hell that you have got COM
ing to you.
Let us follow up common every
day act. You go in a saloon and buy a
glass of beer. The minute you enter
that saloon you justify your son, your
daughter, your mother or your wife
entering that saloon and ordering a
glass of beer. You set ar example for
the world. The minute you hand your
niekle over the bar, you help to sup
port the saloon keeper, the distillers
and the breweries - they stand for,
more than anything else, debauchery,
lust and crime, and are vile. You say

you will find them vile and very vile.
We have analysed but one common

other sin or wrong act and you will
soon learn the true value of your deed.

POWER COMPANY
PLANS Big WORK

Guy W. Talbot, president of the
Pacific Power & Light Co. has an
nounced that work Will begin within a
few days on a new power plant on
Hood River, that when completed will
generate 1000 horse power. The new
project will be located on the lower
river and will be entirely seperate
from any work at present being done
by the company. Albert S. Hall, local
representative of the company when
interviewed Tuesday morning, stated
that he knew nothing more definite
than was made public in the general
announcement. However, he con-
firmed the report and stated that work
would begin on the new plant within
day or two. As to whether or not the
power will be used for a proposed
electric line in the Valley is still a
matter of rumor. The estimated cost
Of the project is half million dollars.

MANY PEOPLE AWAY
FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Many Hood River people are away
for the holidays, in the east visiting
relatives or in California enjoying the
Christmas sunshine of that region. A
great many have journeyed to nearby
points to celebrate Christmas with rel
atives and friends.
In the summer months nearly every
Hood River family entertains guests
from the east or south. Local people
visit at distant FONTS in the winter
months. Especially do the older men
and women seek the warmer cline of
California during winter time. A
score of families are there this winter.
