The unabated enthusiasm displayed
by Salem hostesses in holding more or
less continuous open house this week,
thus affording delightful opportuni-
ties for the generosity Of their friends
to find vent in contributions to the
S. O., S. treasury, will only wane,
when the necessarily limited accom-
modations of the gift box will put a
ban on further donations. The size Of
this box win be determined upon the
expected receipt of a letter by Mrs.
Chauncey Bishop, member of the s.
o. S. committee, from the war trade
board in Seattle, granting permit
to send large box to Franco, and
stating the regulation size.
When this information is received,
the packing of the box will begin,
probably about the middle of next
week. The steadily accumulated con
tents of the box are being displayed
in the windows of the Salem Wooden
Mills store on North Commercial street
So varied and significant is the col
lection of articles, that they speak for
themselves by pictured suggestion to
the eve of the needs which they will
fill. and the dull moments they will
enliven, when carrying warm remcm'
brances of the old home days at Salem
to the boys in France. Knitted appar-
ell, chocolates, pipes, hemmed dish
cloths, phonograph records and other
odd bits of cheer are being gathered
for the box. The Salem high school
pupils have sent in ninety pounds Of
chocolate and the girls of Willamette
university have advanced a check of
Sl5 with which to buy things
The regular meeting of the Memo
