COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL January 7, 2015 5A Cottage Grove Retrospective A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 60 years ago Jan. 9, 1975 Soviets will visit the Weyerhaeuser Glu-lam Beam Plant in Cottage Grove and later that day, Mr. Tarver said they will depart for Portland. Also on the last day, Jan. 23, the Soviets will be guests at a Weyer- haeuser Company luncheon at the Village Green, according to com- pany offi cials. Mr. Traver said the trade mission is planning stops in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. The group will arrive in the Pacifi c Northwest on Jan. 14 and the Washington Trade Fair will coordinate the Soviet’s two-week swing through the three- state area. The original invitation to visit the Pacifi c Northwest was extended to the Russians in the fall of 1973 by Washington State, Mr. Traver said, and the invitation was repeated in May 1974 when an Oregon trade mission visited the Soviet Union. The Soviets’ visit is sponsored by the Pacifi c Northwest Regional Commission, a federally-funded economic development agency headed by the governors of Wash- ington, Idaho and Oregon. The commission mission’s export-pro- motion activities are carried out through the Pacifi c Northwest In- ternational Trade Council. Commenting further, Mr. Traver said the Soviets want to see the machinery in operation. He said Russians to arrive on Jan. 20 The Russians are coming! That was the word on Tuesday from State offi cials as they con- fi rmed that a high-level Soviet trade mission will use Cottage Grove as its base of operations for a three- day visit of area wood-products plants. According to Howard P. Traver, manager for international trade with the state’s department of economic development, the seven member Soviet trade mission and state of- fi cials will arrive in Cottage Grove on the evening of Jan. 20 and stay at the Village Green. “It is fi rm, as fi rm as it can be,” Mr. Tarver said. “The only thing that would change would be if they suddenly cancelled the trip or if we got two feet of snow dropped in the valley.” Mr. Traver said the mission will be headed by V.F. Zaretsky, deputy minister of the USSR timber and woodworking industry, and will in- clude fi ve timber-industry admin- istrators and plant directors and an interpreter. On the morning of Jan. 23, the indications are such that, if the equipment proves compatible with Soviet needs, they might be “inter- ested” in obtaining the machinery from northwest fi rms. According to Mr. Traver, the Russians’ fi rm itinerary will have the trade mission visiting area in- dustries on the following schedule: — On the morning of Jan. 21, they will visit the Roseburg Lum- ber Company chip mill in Goshen. During the afternoon, the trade mission will tour Pope and Talbot’s new mill in Oakridge. — The morning of Jan. 22 calls for a visit to Roseburg Lumber Company’s plywood plant in Dil- lard. — The afternoon plans are for the Soviets to tour an automated stud mill in Roseburg owned by Sun Studs, Inc. — On the morning of Jan. 23, the group will visit the local Wey- erhaeuser plant. Mr. Traver said the Soviet gov- ernment is paying for the mission’s transportation to the northwest, the Pacifi c Northwest trade council has set aside money for transportation and housing while the group is in the northwest and various partici- pating fi rms will host the delega- tion during their two-week visit.

He will nev- er approve of sin in your life, but He always loves you and wants to work with you to make progress in living a holy life in Christ.

And God is slow to anger. People who don’t know the true character of God—who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger—can never have a close, personal, in- timate relationship with Him. It grieves me to think there are so many who live in the darkness of constantly feeling guilty and condemned when God is long- ing to have relationship with them. The truth is God created us to have relationship with us. He wants to love us and take care of us, and He wants us to love Him. That’s where our walk with Christ has to start. We need to be obedient to God and do the good works He has for us to do, but fi rst we need to understand and believe He loves us. Then we can have a relationship with Him and live by faith in Him with the power of the Holy Spirit in us, giving us the ability to live the way God is calling us to live. I’m so grateful God opened my eyes to the truth! He has taught me to believe by faith that He is pleased with me, not because I do everything right, but because I believe in Him and trust Him. And this is just as true for you as it is for me. If you struggle with feeling that God is disappointed in you or angry because you don’t do everything right, I want to en- courage you to take hold of this truth today and believe it: God is not mad at you!
