GOVERNOR KITTELLE'S ADDRESS
TO THE CHILDREN AND CITIZENS
OF FREDERIKSTED DECEMBER %,
1921.

My dear Children, and you Fathers,
Mothers and Friends:
[ thank you very deeply, for having
asked me to come to this your Christmas
celebration, and as | see you sitting be-
fore me | see those who are to be the
future men and women of this comnu-
nifty who are going to be the successors
of all of us in being citizens of this COM
munity. And | know because of the
splendid training which you are now re-
ceiving that you are going to be better
citizens, better men, and better women,
and more useful than | have been, or
than your fathers and mothers have been.
The public school which you attend is
a branch of that great public school sys-
tenn Of the United States. 1t is the very
foundation of American Life. Ninety
percent of all the American people are
educated in the public school. and it is a
wonderful privilege, and one not grant
ed, to my knowledge, to the same extent
by any other country in the world. So
that you can see my children that it is a
"rivile0o = schools open to
you Will ,.o very latest eg nent, the
best teachers and directors, ana he most
modern and approved school books.N And
| learn from your director that yOAare
taking very good advantage of all these
privileges. and that you ale doing re-
markably we'll. | am much interested at
your progress, and now today | have
been asked to give to one of your High
Schools one of these beautiful pictures of
the National Capitol at Washington,
given to you because you have made the
record of attendance and promptness at
school. In order to make it a success in

second. The earth moves around the
sun in one year and it has never varied
one second, God has set US an example
of prOmptn s and exactness, and that
is why you 'uld be prompt at school.
You children have earned this reward.
Now my children | take great pleasur
in presenting to you this picture, and
you will send one of your members +

LUNCH CLUB GIVES
FOR NEEDY CHILDREN

Churches of the city and civic and
commercial organizations have assem-
bled fund and are caring for needy
children. A number of families, it is
reported. have been left stranded here
following the apple harvest. Several
of these, with small children. are liv-
ing in insecure shacks. Charitable men
and women are searching out the suf-
ferers and relieving their wants.
At the regular meeting of the Tues
day Lunch club DR.. H. L. Dumble,
chairman of the day. appealed to all
citizens to aid in the work of caring
for the needy children. The club
voted fund of $40 to be used in relief
work.
DR.. Dumble cited the need for citi-
zens to devise some means of raising
fund for paving 100 feet Of Cascade
avenue at the west edge of town. DIR.
Dumble cited that the city was unable
to finance paving of the short stretch,
now one Of the few stretches of the
great scenic highway between Astoria
and Mosier left unpaved.
DR.. Dumble declared that Hood Riv-
er, as matter of civic .pride, should
hasten the paving of the street. He
suggested that fund be raised by
private subscription for the work.

FROZEN BATTERIES

"One of the most common questions

local Westinghouse distributor, lis
How About my battery freezing
Freezing weather is probability
any time during the next few months
and it is quite natural for motorists to
worry. A frozen battery means broken
jars and perhaps broken plates, a
ruined battery IN fact.
A fully charged battery, however.
will not freeze unless the temperature
reaches about 60 degrees below zero.
As soon as motorists realize this fact
their Worries should cease. 1t takes
but minute for an expert to test the
battery and see whether it IS fully
charged. If it is, it won't freeze. If
it's not, in goes a service battery
while the motorist waits. He can use
that while his own is being recharged.
That a lot better than getting the old
battery frozen and having to buy a
new one.

PHONES UNINJURED.
POWER PLANTS OUT

While the dry sleet storm has caused
no damage to telephone lines of the
mid Columbia, the weather conditions
have put power plants out of commits
sion. The Pacific Power & Light Co.
reports that its two Hood River valley
plants and that at White River in
Wasco county are not running due to
the slush and debris of the streams.
The company is supplying power to
Hood River and Wasco county patrons
from the Northwestern Electric Com
pany's plant on the White Salmon riv-
er. Manager Smithson, of the tele-
phone company, states that the worst
damage sustained by his company has
been from service lines broken by
workmen throwing snow from roofs of
buildings.

The snow storm has, it is thought,

eight teams of horses are marooned in
camp on the new section being grad

DEE BRIDGE AND
DAM WASHED OUT

The storm took a heavy damage at
the plant of the Oregon Lumber Co. at
Dee. Monday morning employees found
the main bridge of the concerns log
ging lines across Hood river washed
out and the dam, utilized in generating
electric power to drive the big plant,
gone. 1t is presumed that ice and de-
bris collected against the bridge,
sweeping it out. The heavy accumu-
lation of bridge timbers and debris
then struck the dam.
The bridge and dam will be recon-
structed in time for the company to
resume the seasons run next spring,
it is said.
