that if liberal Republican party

would muster an actual rather

Today--dawn brightt-he clouds
will break away-the sun shine
white at noon. The lightning of
the passing night is but a dream
the thunder's roll a memory.
Today-man goes forth to do
his part in life-facing the prob

off that which needs be done,
unless he is very craven in his
heart.
Today-his life is not his own.
He is the keeper of it. Whether
he invests it or wraps it in a nap
kin and lays it away in some
good, safe place is his own choice.
Today is his to live-to do-to
lay another stone upon the struc-

throw the time away and meet
the evening with no good thing

Action is life! Inertia. just not
doing, only another name for
death. To arouse inert ambitions
into action is a Transforming
miracle. a miracle which can, and
will, change a life filled with dis
appointment and failure into a life
overlooking with happiness and
success.
Today, to leave men careless,
hopes crushed, insensible to their
greater destiny, is to leave them
only half alive, like leaving men

are the only forces that can do
it. They are forces which, above

Portland a few days ago-Wed-

Portland Council of Churches,
through its department of race

which discriminate against nom

building as "deplorable disgrace
to the city" DR.. Palmquist said
that efficiency of the tuberculosis

of the structure are being cut by

In addition he said because of
cramped quarters. mothers taking
their infants and young children
to the child health clinic ON the
fourth floor are obliged to mingle
with prostitutes and other visitors
to the yenereal disease clinic.
He said that while separate
quarters are maintained for these
two health department operations,
visitors to both must use a COM
mon corridor to reach either one
and as result frequently wind
up i'm the wrong department"
Although all possible precau-
lions are taken by Health Depart

ion. is an abominable state of af-

enough that it behooves the PEG
