Fuel Investigator Says
He'd Cut His Own Wood-
SEATTLE, Aug. 17. (AP)
Brig. Con. Brleu Disque, who as
a colonel in the last war directed
the army's logging of airplane
spruce in Washington and Ore
gon, studied another wood prob
lem in the Pacific northwest to
daythe shortage of winter fuel.
"If I were living In this coun
try," he said, "I wouldn't freeze
next winter. I'd go out and get
my own wood.
"The northwest's fuel problem
won't be sotltod In Washington,
D. C. The people here have to
settle it."
But the shortage of wood, and
coal and oil, too, for that matter,
can and will bo averted, he said.
Estimates show . Washington
and Oregon will have to have a
million tons more coal, however.
than local mines can produce. Get
ting it here will be a problem.
And if oil deliveries are shut off,
another 81(;,000 tons of coal will
Im1 needed in Seattle alone.
When he completes a survey of
the fuel shortage In the two
stales, Gen. Disque will name a
coordinator to work out priori
lies. Riddle

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHAS. A. EDWARDS '
Do you remember the an
cient -ftory of Theseus and
Ariadne In classic mythology?
Theseus had to go down
through a dark labyrinth,
sword in hand, to do battle
with a horrible man-eating
monster. Before he went
Ariadne tied a silken thread
about his ankle, and told him
that whenever he felt a pull on
that thread he might know
that she was thinking of him.
Theseus went through that ter
rifying combat upheld by con
stant reminders that Ariadne
was with him In thought and
heart. Our silken thread Is our
Christian faith. It brings us
constant reminders that when,
as followers of Christ we have
to face any terrifying exjieri
ence, we are upheld by the
presence and love of One Who
understands. The psalmist ask
ed, "Whither shall I go from
Thy spirit or whither shall I
flee from Thy presence." You
may go through the darkest
hours, but God is there. You
may take the wings of the
morning, and dwell In the ut
termost parts of the sea, but
even there God will lead you
and bear you up. The same
God who kept those who have
gone before will keep those of
us Uxn the earth today. The
tragedies and sorrows of the
world break His heart as thoy
break our hearts. "We know
not where the Islands lift their
fronded palms in air, we only
know we cannot get beyond
His loving care." Amen.
