TO STAGE ''f'
DRIVE SATURDAY
COMMITTEES ORGANIZED
FOR QUICK WORK
Expect to Reach Quote in One
Day Drive to be Held an Sat-
urday. Everyone Should
Aid.

Charles Rnmmei;, who was elect
ed at a meeting held at the 'YMCA
last week, to head committee of
nine whose duty it gill be to de-
wise ways and means for continu-
ing the local institution in this city,
has al. arragnments made for stag
ing a drive on Saturday of this week
at which it is proposed to raise the
necessary funds to insure this excell-
ent institution operating in this city
during the coming year.
A meeting was held at the YMCA
on Tuesday evening of this week,
attended by the various members of
the committees, and the plans were
outlined for making the drive and
another meeting will he held on
Friday evening to complete final ar
rangements.
Since the time the YMCA building
was erected in this city by the du
Pont company, through the efforts
of Supt. Beers, the company has
contributed $24OO yearly toward the
support of the institution. The
company, it is understood, perferred
to turn the building into a du Pont
Club for employees only, but this
did not meet with local approval, and
the company declined longer to fur
nish the funds for the maintenance
of the institution, and at meeting
held during the past month the sit
uation was explained to local people
who were advised that unless the
people of the city devised ways and
means for furnishing funds to keep
the building open that it would be
closed to the public and opened as
du Pont club.
Those who realize the Importance
of this building as XMCA and a
community center decided that it
shall not be closed and committees
were appointed to raise funds for
this purpose. 1t is up to every citi-
zen to get behind the YMCA with
their financial support and provide a
clean place where the children of the
city can enjoy clean amusement and
heaithful athletic sports.
Since the time the YMCA building
was opened in this city it has been a
place where all public events have
been held, it has provided place
where the schools can hold their ath-
letic events, where boy and girl
scouts can meet, where agricultural
meetings have BEEN held, and where
the boys and girls can seek recrea-
ton under healthful conditions in
a clean and sanitary place.
To allow the YMCA building to
close at this time would be a cal
amity to the city of Washburn and
there is not a person in the city
who should not get back of the
movement to provide funds for its
support.
In the future the Committee of
Nine will work with the Board of
Directors in the management of the
building.

Flood Waters
Subrnerge Scio
But Are Falling

Scio, Or. Nov. 23. - Floot
waters which ragged through tn,
streets here to depth Of two ant
three feet all day Sunday have re
ceded and the streets are now com
paratively dry. The flood extends
all over the Santiam valley, ant
many families on outlying farm,
are still isolated.
The high waters began to gc
down Sunday at midnight, with
the cessation of the 4S-hour rain
which began Friday night
Thomas creek, which reached a
maximum of II feet at the bridge
between Scio and West Scio Sun
day, had receded to 1S feet to-
day and is still falling.
Scio is practically isolated from
the outside, with bridges down at
Larwood, Jordan and numerous
other places. Communication with
Albany was restored today.
Crowds of men and boys went
from house to house relieving suf-
ferers from the flood. Mud was
ON the floors of business houses to
depth Of an inch or more this
morning, where the waters had
gone down.
1t is impossible to estimate the
loss Of property, but livestock
damage is this vicinity has been
estimated at more than $4,000.
One sheep man counted IL of his
stock, all blue ribbon winners,
floating down the creek.
Information concerning the out
lying districts is still meager, but
many farmers families are
hought to be marooned in the at
les of their houses. Many farm
ers sought refuge in Scio Sunday
but the high water on the high
ways soon made it impossible to
travel.
Stores here were opened Sum
day to permit people to get pro-
with the expectation that
house to house communication
would later be impossible. No
boats sufficiently large to venture
into the stream to the relief of
stranded families were available.
