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.

miles above London on the Black Butte Road was a victim of the recent
fl ood. Although it had been replaced by a new concrete bridge by Lane
County, the old covered one had been left for the convenience for some resi-

which was known as Rouse Bridge and built in 1938, will be replaced.

abounding in mercy.” God is
merciful—that’s His charac-
ter. He’s gracious—that means
He’s good. 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!
