Home Service Appeal
 For Salvation Army

The Salvation Army Home Servic appeal is in progress. Local peOpl, are afforded an opportunity to con tribute Co the work this institution | doing in this vicinity. The none, now being raised is not to be distrib uted far away but 1t is to be used ts help the people in the Putnam dis triet who are unfortunate.
 Those familiar with the work oi ] the Army know that with the expen diture of a few dollars it puts an un- i fortunate on his feet. 1t gets him a | job and makes him once more a res. | peetable, independent. wage-earning citizen of the community. That is the difference between formal charity and the service which the Salvation Army offers.
 Formal charity must keep giving and giving because there is no change of purpose or desire. The Salvation Army connects the beneficiary with the teachers of his faith and joins hands with them in his rehabilitation. If he has no denominations prefer ence it cares for him itself with a simple organization, a comprehensive creed that embraces worldwide Christianity. with a ceremonial as simple as that of the early Christians.
 Commended by Citizen
 q am giving this money. not for what the Salvation Army did in the war. but for what you are doing to- day in our own little town, said man to Captain Anderson last week as he handed in his contribution in response to the local home service ap- peal.
 Captain Anderson has a lot of odd things said to him in the course of days work, and he just waited. The man continued. Don't think I'm not patriotic. Don't think I'm giving the war sallies a tbrow-down; but saving the world in war time and building up America in time of peace appear to me to be one and the same job. And here's luck to the Salvation Army as long as it works at it's job the way if has been doing in our home town"
 The home service campaign is start ting very nicely. but the people of our city need to fall in line Loyalty in order to make a success of the cam paign The work of the Salvation VI Army is limited to the amount of money given by the public.
 What would happen to the young men who get stranded in a strange town or the young girl who has made a mistake in her home town, if it were not for institutions like the Salvation Army? We care for the men until they can care for themselves, and send the young woman to our mater nity hospitals, without broadcasting the results of a misled life.
 It is work like this, on which the Salvation Army makes it's local home service appeal. The work of the Sal vation Army begins where that of other organizations leaves off.
 Don't forget the Salvation Army in this effort. We must get this years quota over the top in order to com plete the work that is confronting us this coming year.
 Don't forget the Salvation Army in your will. we will spend the money in the way to benefit the community.

ANNUAL MEETING AND BANQUET MAY F
Chamber of Commerce Com- mittee Arranging Supper and
 Entertainment at Inn
Clean-Up Week Will Be Week of
 May 5th

The board of directors of the Put nam Chamber of Commerce held their regular meeting at the Putnam Inn, Monday evening. The annual meet ing of the Chamber was discussed. 1t was decided to hold the meeting at the Putnam Inn. Monday evening, May 18th, at 7.30 o'clock, standard time.
 The entertainment committee, T. H. deCoudres chairman. is at work to provide suitable entertainment for the occasion. Those who have at tended the last few annual meetings of the Chamber know that these af- fairs do not include dry speeches or statistical data. but are arranged for an evening of relaxation and enjoy ment. The tickets will soon be selling to members at S1.50. The price in- eludes the supper and the entertain ment.
 During the evening the annual busi ness will be transacted Officers for the ensuing year will be elected and reports will be read. This will con- sume but little time and the rest of the evening will be given over to lighter diversion.
 CleAn-Up Week
 Judge F. F. Russell, who has come to be known on the board as the father of Clean-Up Week, made his annual motion that such a week be observed. It was decided to observe the week of May 5th for a general tidying up of the city. Judge Rus sell was appointed a committee of one to approach the mayor and highway committee of the common council to cooperate in Clean-Up Week by al lowing the city's teams to carry off the refuse as in previous years. Full particulars of these arrangements will be announced next week.
 Two New Industries
 The Chamber is congratulatine it. self and especially the New Industries Committee for having secured two substantial new industries for Put nam during the year There is much vacant floor space remaining in Put nam which it is hoped may be grad ually filled up by going concerns. It is self evident that all such attempts take money. The Chambers only source of income is from its dues, which are not adequate to carry on the work to any considerable extent. A tentative plan is under considera- tion to raise more money to be used in procuring other new industries.

The Nash owner is as proud of the greater value of his investment as he is of its beauty and performance. He is reassured by the knowledge that higher price could not buy any better design, or finer engineer ing, or greater certainty of long life. Men who formerly paid more are now appreciating the wisdom of buying ttVo Nash models instead of one high-priced car.
 The wonderful ease of Nash steer ing, the smooth power, the great speed, 1he recnainess ofthe bodies, the rich upholsteries and appoint ments that Nash provides are the best the market affords.

LARGEST CHRISTMAS MAIL
IN HISTORY OF OFFICE

Judging from the amount of mail
handled through the White Bluffs
postoffice this year, the so-called hard
times have begun to loosen up a bit,
Or else they never really existed here.
The incoming mail was about aver
age but the cash receipts of the Of
flee show that the outgoing mail on
Monday was the largest of any single
day in the history Of the office. The
number of greeting cards, both out
going. and incoming this year was un-
usually large. In addition to being
the largest day for outgoing mail,
Monday also hit the peak for incom-
ing mail. Between $3.50 am. and noon
that day it required the services of
four people working steadily to hand
lie the two incoming and outgoing
mails. To handle the rural mail route
mail, Carrier C. G.. Osenbaugh had to
call on his substitute carrier, Mrs.
Osenbaugh, to help and by making
three trips each on Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday he was able to make
all his deliveries and collections.

Finish First
Link In North
Bank Highway
Ultimate Plans Call For
River Road From Canada
To The Coast

The Evergreen Highway, WASH
ington's great all-year-around, scenic
and commercial highway thru the
Columbia Gorge, has just been COM
pleted on the north bank of the CO.
lurnbia river and is now open to
traffic. 1t extends from Vancouver to
Stevenson, forty-seven miles, cost over
two billion dollars to build and has
been under construction in various
sections for nine years.
The new route gives Western Wash
ington fast, safe, commercial artery
to the Inland Empire and the east,
and is connected with the transconti-
mental highway on the Oregon shore
and the Columbia River Highway by
the Bridge Of the Gods which spans
the Columbia just below Stevenson
at Cascade Locks.
Completion Of this big east-west
artery was delayed for more than two
years by an unfortunate powder blast
that blew away narrow ledge of
rock that was to carry the road
around the thousand-foot-high Cape
Horn cliff about twenty miles east Of
Vancouver. With nothing to 60 on,
the engineers finally solved the prob
lem by building 478 foot concrete
bridge that literally clings to the walls
of the rocky precipice, more than
eight hundred feet above the river.
The new highway has been driven
straight thru the scenic gorge of the
Columbia and is so safe that autos
can take every curve at forty miles an
hour.
Due to it's southern exposure enRin-
GERS declare that snow blockades such
as stop traffic on the Columbia River
highway and the Snoqualmie Pass,
will never be experienced. Assurance
of open traffic lanes thru the winter
months will add considerably to traf-
fic to and from the Inland Empire
and the west coast, and it is antici-
pated will also increase traffic from
Puget Sound and Willamette valley
districts over the Pacific Highway.
Ultimate plans for the Evergreen
route call for extension along the
north bank of the Columbia to Kenne-
wick, distance of 200 miles, to con.
meet with east and west state highways
and on up the Columbia thru White
Bluffs, Vantage and Wenatchee, to
the Canadian border. When the Ever
green Highway is completed, the State
OF Washington will possess a grand
circle route that will tie in all Of the
principal sections of the state and
make it possible to drive completely
around the state and back to point OF
departure without covering any part
OF the same road twice.
