Cast-off Clothing Asked
For Unemployed Workers

Washington. president Hooyer's
organization on Unemployment Re-
lief stressed the necessity of increas-
ed effort in collecting discarded and
new clothing for the jobless in a bull
letin for national circulation.
The persistent refusal of American
business men to employ the eight
million jobless workers has not onIv
resulted in diminishing the supply of
clothing available for relief, but is
also forcing many communities that
previously have not felt the need of
supplying clothing to the unemployed
to face the problem.
A number of organizations like the
Army and the Volunteers
OF America, the bulletin points out.

ing discarded clothing, rehabilitating

MT. LAKE PARK

Perhaps Mayor and Mrs. MacClel-
Ian Clayton, who are spending the
dinter in California, where, we under
stand, the weather has not been all
sunshine, may get some consolation
from the fact that we are having a
cold snap for change. And while
the thermometer does not register
very low, yet it is some change after
seeing the snow drops in the Ben
Sincell yard and the Towering ounce
exhibited in Harned's drug store.
Well, it won't last long, and is but
a gentle reminder that there is still
a little pep left in Old Man Winter.
The writer, together; with a host of
friends, regret the passing of J. F..
Reinhardt. Somewhat retiring, yet
he had the rare quality Of making and
holding friends. He was always gen.
ial and courteous. He will be missed
in this community.
There is a strong hope that the
road leading from the bowling alley
to Deer Park will be commenced this
spring. 1t is a connection that is
badly needed and will help not only
the Park, but will be. a, great conven-
fence for those citizens having bust
ness in Oakland, especially during the
winter months when the dirt roads
are generally hard to negotiate. If
there is an opportunity to secure the
building of this short stretch of road
that opportunity ought not to be neg
1ected.
We mentioned few columns ago
that Britten Martin was having his

those who advertise blood birds
and eggs when in fact they are not en-
titled to so advertise. While a sue
cessful test means. close culling of
the flock and the disposal of birds

eases that chickens are heir to, are

Flowers Prominent in
Every Age of Mankind

The love of flowers seems to be an
innate thing, mysterious power that
has always had part in the affairs
Of men. The Greeks were fond Of
flowers, especially those having a
pleasant perfume. They used them in
all kinds of decorations and in their
religious ceremonies. The Greeks and
Romans both loved roses and used
them extensively, and Cleopatra was
most eXtravagant in her use of roses
spending huge sums of money for
them. Of all peoples it is said the
Hindu has the Slost sincere love for
flowers, having as well mystic under
standing Of flower life. He visits his
garden with reverence, talks to the
flowers, and weaves fanciful stories
around them.
Long, long before the Christian era
poets sung the praises of flowers, the
rose always occupying a prominent
place in the ceremony. Dedication to
the gods was one of the many honors
heaped upon this popular queen Of
the garden.
