TO Be TAKEN SERIOUSLY

During the past several weeks num-
erous Hood River citizens have been
appointed on various committees, the
most important of which have been
those connected with the local chapter
of the National American Red Cross
and the Agricultural Council for Ma
tional Defense.
Appointments to these committees
should be taken most seriously. Don't
take it that you have been appointed
to an honorary position. If you feel
this way about it, get out and let
somebody who is earnest and willing
take charge. Accepting these appoint
ments means that you are also accept
ing some very serious work.
Work on these committees should be
most willing duty to all of us who
are not able to go to the front, who
are not privileged to recruit and thrill
our friends and companions by sights
of us in uniforms. Through the Red
Cross and the National Defense Coun-
ell we are enabled to do our bit. We
should accept the work in all serious
ness and do our utmost, not for our
personal advancement. but for our
country. This work should be carried
on in utter unselfishness.
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1917-05-10
THE BOYS ANSWER The CALL

Although the United States Marine
Corps made the announcement on April
2S that they had reached their then
authorized war strength of II, 400 men,
the Necessary men were secured two
weeks before that time, and were un-
der training.
Two brothers who were anxious to
be first to fight" were enlisted on
Friday, April l3. They were Robert z.
and Thomas B. Necessary, sons of Mrs.
Sallie Necessary, of Red Rock, Texas.
The response of red-blooded Ameri-
cans to their country's call for addi-
tional marines has been particularly
gratifying" said Major General Geo.
Barnett, Commandant of the Marine
Corps, "and we anticipate no difficulty
In securing the l2,6OO more which are
likely to be authorized any day, and
for which recruiting has already been
started"
We have witnessed with our own
eyes how the boys from Hood River
and all Oregon, especially the boys Of
the small town communities, have re-
sponded with dispatch to their coun.
try's call.

OREGON WOMEN FOR
GOOD ROADS BONDS

Assurance that the women of this
state favor good roads was given at
the statewide rally in Portland by
Mrs. Charles H. Castner, Of Hood
River, President Of the Oregon FEEDER.
alton of Women's Clubs She said
IF there is one form of legislation
that the women of this State are in.
terested in more than any other, out.
side of the home and schools, 1t Is
good roads, and particularly do they
wish this for the rural women, for to
whom can good roads mean more than
to the women on the farm. 1t would
tend to lessen that great isolation
the great factor in driving the boys
and girls to the city.
"The women of my organization,
composed of 1873 clubs, and nearly 15,-
600 women In this state, are interested
In good roads, as was shown by a reso-
luton unanimously passed for good
roads at the last annual meeting held
at Seaside"
The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1917-05-10
THE LURE OF The ROAD

As springtime advances and real
warm days prevail, the lure of the
open road is drawing scores of motor
lists thorough the Hood River valley
over the Columbia Highway. Some
complaint is heard among the motor
lists on the condition OF the Highway
between this city and Cascade Locks.
The east extension of the route be-
tween this city and The Dalles is in
fair shape. local authorities having
made extensive improvements in the
Mosier hill grade.
The Highway, with the Columbia
canynosides covered with Towering lich-
ems, every dell presenting its array of
delicately tinted pink wild currant
blooms, dogwood and syringa blossoms
and the old gold blooms of Oregon
grape, now has an irresistible charm.
The condition of the road itself is
the only influence that jars the note of
harmony that sings in the soul of the
traveller.
Doesn't this make you want to see
that s6, 900, 900 road bonding act car
ried next June A?
