VACATIONS NEAR HOME

IN their desire to make
their money count for as
much as possible in war
time many people all over the
country are planning innova-
tions in their vacation pro-
grams. Instead of going as
far from home as possible,
spending twice as much as
they expected to, they are
planning to rusticate near
home, thereby securing more
real good for the price.
In Umatilla county cOnditi-
ons lend themselves to such a
line of action. We have noun
tains and streams close at
hand, free for the use of all;
we have mountain resorts
where people may find good
accommodations at moderate
prices. There is no occasion
for any one to go far away for
vacation and if in general the
policy of spending vacations
near home is observed the saw
ing all around will be heavy.

The flag represents the ira
Gitions, the hopes and ideals Of
America. To honor the flag is
to honor the principles of Am
ericanism and show loyalty to
the republic. There is an in
innate relationship between
love of country and love OF
home. tribe and humanity. A
man who will deride the flag
and its symbolism may be sus-
pected also of treason to his
home and fellow men. Place
no faith in such people; they
are misguided or something

VI urges that the first mil
lion from the six million
dollar bond issue be expended
upon the Columbia highway

Had such an appeal been
made prior to the election it is
highly probable that the Is

voted for the road bonds while
the Willamette valley voted
no. might not have felt so en-
thusiastic over the subject.
Would it be fair to eastern

generally supported and whose

lation through the legislature
to expend all the first million
in western Oregon? Assuredly
it would not and this newspa-
