MR.. AND MRS. ]. REED HONOR VISITORS
AVERITABLE GARDEN OF FLOWERS

Fraternal Hall is fast becoming
a mecca for Portland's exclusive
social functions. The most bril-
liant of this season, or any sea-
son in Portland to our knowledge
was the party given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph Reed. 1915 S. Z. 49th

ment Mrs. CLARA Graham, of De-
troit, sister OF Mr.. Reed. Mrs,
Irene Webb. also from Detroit,
and Mrs. Alice Fowlka. Columbus,
Ca, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ].
W. Ingersoll.
The spacious hall with its soft
lights against imposing murals,
took on the appearance of a veri-
table flower garden when the sea-
sons choicest blossoms formed a
picturesque setting, harmonizing
with varied colors in dress and
headgear worn by fashionably at
tired ladies.
On each of the numerous tables
forming double rows which flank
ed the center of the spacious crys-
tal-like floor were floral center
pieces of pervilllon lilies and del
phenium. Party favors with
unique inscriptions (place cards.
napkins monogrammed. Ruth and
joel added to the effectiveness
in table decorations.
A sterling group of entertainers
gave a magnificent performance
which thrilled the $50 or more
guests.
Edward Harris, nationally
known comedian. vaudevillian and
master of ceremonies for the oc-
casion, was ably assisted by his
wife, Bressie, a forme ractress.

He smiled soul-weary smile
and said: 81 know what you mean

Every heart has its own noun

we live. fe feel that happiness
lies on the other side of the
range, that had our ways been
laid in other places, We would
have done so much, we would have
gone so far
We condemn those who live on
the other side for not making the
most of their great opportunities
We forget that they in turn con-
denim us for not realizing how
fair our own pathways are. In
tolerance breeds on both sides of
the mountain, whether 1t be a
physical one or a mountain built
of our own prejudices and ignor-
ance.

Against Defense Unification

General A. A. Vandergrift, commanding Of
ficer of the Marine Corps, has joined Secre-
tary of the Navy Forrestal and Admiral King
in opposing a single defense force. A lump
ing of all armed forces, he told the Senate
Military Affairs Committee, into a single
agency would set up an undemocratic mill
tary hierarchy which soon would destroy close
congressional controls.
Il ask the proponents of this measure" he
said 'to remember that $50 a month was
not the consideration that led men to die in
storming Two Jima, to crash in flames over
Tokyo or to lie forever in some nameless
sea. .. The logical, the inevitable result OF
unification is to paint out these brilliant and
distinctive colorings with a heavy drab coat
Of anonymous bureaucratic gray"
His position is strong. The record of the
Marine Corps is too magnificent. not only
from Guadalcanal to Two lima and Okinawa,
but from the first days of its organization,
for any member, certainly for its commander,
to submit quietly to its fusion with any or.
ganization.
But what strikes home is that General Van.
dergrift has as fine gift of eloquence as Of
fighting.

LONG-DRAWN CRUSADE.

=, oookish visitor poking about our library
me other day found a bound volume of the
outlook for 1922. He opened it and before him
was an article discussing governmental reor-
ganlzation and a reform of Congress.
How long this has been going on, we did
not pretend to know. 1t is our guess that in the
administration of John Adams, which imme-
dlately followed that of the first President,
tnere was probably some proposal for reor-
ganlzatlon. The subject is still alive, and there

Equal Educational Chance

National Education Week, now in progress,
finds the teachers of North Carolina, and hope
fully of all other states, focusing their atten-
ton and effort upon congressional action which
would offer all children of the nation an equal
educational opportunity, at least as Tar as the
public school system can take them.
Senator Hoey put the case plainly and sue
cinctly before the House Education Committee
during hearings some months ago on the
Ramspeck bill providing federal aid to make
this possible. Mr.. Hoey cited that North Caro-
lima forty-five years ago started program
which embodies the principle recommended
for the national government.
At that time the state legislature appro-
priated 100000 to supplement funds in coun-
ties with sparce population and incomes too
low to provide adequate school facilities. BY
1929 the state appropriation had grown to S..
600, 600. Of the hundred counties in North
Carolina, this fund was largely distributed
among sixty-seven, the remaining thirty-three
having sufficient public wealth to support their
own facilities, and received little or none of
the money.
"In 1884, Senator Hoey testified, ''the state
assumed the burden of full support of six
months school term for every school in the
state, and in 1888 assumed full support of the
entire public school system. The counties now
have the option OF supplementing the base sup
port in such manner and to such an extent
as they may elect.
1t is his thought that the nation ought to
follow this system of equalization, and certain
ly there can be no quarrel with his viewpoint,
especially as the twopoint policy set forth in
the bill would give teachers needed increase
in salaries and provide adequate facilities in
all states with insufficient wealth to maintain
their own.
Representative Graham A. Barden of New
Bern, chairman of the House Education Com
n1ittee has arranged for action on bill pro-
viding $3O00O0OOO annually for aid to the
schools for November 20.
Although Education Week will have passed
by then the state teachers have a splendid
opportunity to promote favor for the bill while
it is under way by addressing their members
of Congress in behalf of it. steady stream
of letters and kilograms to them will certainly
offer definite evidence where the teachers
stand.

reached an all-time high of r..
