Washington he was awarded O con

AT Washington, he said, he found
that the officials Of the emergency
fleet corporation are very favorable
toward the construction Of as many
wooden ships ias possible along with
those OF steel. incidentally, he said,
it is possibles that some of the best
equipped wooden yards may be asked
later to turn out small steel ships
along with those of wood 20 lo' 30 4
1T is the biggest opportunity that
Portland has ever had for develop
menti"s said Mr. Smith. f''Fhe' one
vital problem is that of housing IA
cilities.l Here is where the shipyards
must have the cooperation of prop

curtailed by lack of houses sr,His-i
Many shipyard 90 workers report
that they have been forced to move
several times from places they rented
5ecause of their inability to buy. The
owners refused to give them leases.
Some men, in fact, left town on this
account. '.
Nov is the time when yard work.
ers should be given opportunity to
take leases on houses they rent. They
cannot afford to have places sold
over their heads and that is what is
beingdone in numerous cases. s2

stand and appreciate that it is to
their own interest and that of the
community 70 house these workers

In this connection it is possible
that the company may ask for gov
ernment aid in the construction of
houses to shelter workers. This has
already been invoked in Vancouver.
The Columbia river corporation
now has three ways. When the two
new ones are completed, it will be in
position to turn out ship every IS
days. At present its average is a
ship every 80 days. ...
The company now has been award

pleted and delivered. 4

LOCAL ORGANIZATION NOT PERFECTED

The local Council of National De- fense convened in the Court House here on last Saturday pursuant to ad- journment. The meeting was called to order at the appointed hour, by the Chairman, w. T. Witt, and the com mittee of seven chosen at the previous meeting to prepare constitution and bylaws for the government of the council submitted it's report.
 After discussion it was decided to defer the matter of going into a per manent organization until later date, as it is desired to have one of the state organizers here at the meeting when permanent organization is per fected. The time of the next meeting will depend largely upon the conven- fence of the state headquarters of the council of state defense, as it is not known at this time just when state organizer will be at liberty to visit Clifton.
 At the meeting last Saturday after. noon no other business was transact ed other than receiving the commit tees report on constitution and by | laws, but this does not mean that any | of the enthusiasm was lacking among those interested in the organization ! of a local council at Clifton. Due notice of the next meeting will be guess to say that Clifton will sooI have working council of local de
 fense.

strength, for he was unassailable in what is generally the weakest point with leaders and public men, We think of Washington always as first in peace and first in war. The United States aspires today to be the first In these two; these contrasts; these paradoxes; these imperative necessities to nations greatness and permanency. Washington too kind and too gentle and too humane and too noble to have loved peace for peace sake. And he was too big and too practical and too high minded to hesitate to draw the sword when the bully crosses the deadline set by forbearance. He fought for freedom against English auto cracy His country now fights side by side with English democracy for freedom for weak CT peoples. How Washington's great heart would expand and his noble glance kindle ii he could be alive today to see Americans press forward to finish the fight he began. How deeply he would be affected to his little nation, now grown to be so large, paying Tn heaped and rounded measure the debt he owed to France Washington endured defeat and privation for eight bitter years. Despair sat at his right hand. But he fought on And he won, as they always do who fight on for the right and never give up. France sent money and men and ships to save Washington Ana today, upon the anniversary of Washington s borth, the very angels smile while we send men .and money and ships to France in order to keep burning that torch lighted by the great, unselfish and kindly hands of the Father of Ills Country. Today, pledged to death grap- pie with autocracy, observe thy natal day and honor thy memory with uplifted eyes and unblushing face. Thy republic is not de- generate Thy ideals still stand before Its eyesa Thy spirit livse on. Please God, we will pay the debt of Lafayette.
