Hut the current proposal, which
is supported by Admiral Byrd, Is
advanced on a double basis, pro
lection of whaling rights and se
curing our claims to that part of
the Antarctic, already explored by
Americans, Including Byrd, IClli
worth and perhaps othors. .
The idea has been mulled over
hy varlotis government, agencies
for several months but it was given
an especial lilip when Germany re-
ently laid claim to a whaling tract
right in the heart of territory long
laimed by Isorweuluns. The state
department geographer, Samuel VV.
Hoggs, told us thai the claim was
close to the border line but didn't
(pilte penetrate the western hemis

navy down there to drive them out. ,

Hut ait these things are only the

tion. Admiral Byrd's trips cost close

are to make the government Job

WASHINGTON, June 12. (AP)
The bureau of agricultural eco
nomies refuses to assume resion
sibility for Oregon's butter trou
bles. When Senator Rufus Holman
wrote Secretary Wallace dairymen
were blaming the bureau for ''cer
tain activities, the result of which
has been a lowering of quality of
Oregon butter by a full point to a
1)1 score when such butter Is ship
ped outside the state, the secre
tary replied:
The problem of some of the Ore
gon creameries apparently results
more directly fiuui the local condi
tions surrounding the production,
purchase, and grading of cream
used in tl.e manufacture of butter
and the application and enforce
ment of the Oregon milk, cream
and butter grading law, rather than
from the grading of Oregon butter
by the federal bureau of agricul
tural economics."
In another portion of bis memor
andum, Wallace said:
"While there has been some de
crease in the percentage of butter
receiving a grade of 92 score or
higher, we are of the opinion that
the protest is due more to a fear of
the effect of the proposed lowering
of the percentage of 92 score but
ter that has been graded by our
Portland office."

DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
There Is a story of a young
sculptor, the son of a sculptor,
who worked earnestly on a sta
tue but could not seem to make
It right. As he left it every eve
ning, he found, as he felt over
It. that It was marred, here and
there with rough places, ugly
Hues, little defects that he seem
Ingly could not correct. But
strange to say. every morning
the defects were gone. During
the night the father, a master of
the art, would slip into the
studio and correct it all In the
space of a few hours work. One
day the young sculptor discover
ed the truth and he cried. "The
master has touched this." So it
Is with us, God smooths off the
rough and rugged edges and
softly with a deft hand works
out the rough places, wipes out
the ugly lines 1n our lives, and
a man is suddenly transformed.
And we say the Master has
touched him. Hear Father, Thou
art the Sculptor of our lives.
Mold us and fashion us after
Thy mind, that our lives may be
beautiful to behold, for Jesus
sake. Amen.

indicating the Shoestring ranch up
on which we stood. "It was prac

been very busy indeed rebuilding
the house and erecting various
smaller structures.
"Tho barn which my neighbors
are helping me with today has been
badly needed for tho storage of hay,
as well as to afford shelter for the
livestock. 1 still have a tremend
ous amount of work to do before
1 am ready to call It done."

the slashing, burning and grubbing
