lumber loaded from its docks every month is a mighty pretty
sight to those who are crying for the materials needed in the
war effort.
The Roseburg Lumber company has been doing a quiet but
effective job one that is vital on the production front and
the management and men are to be commended for the service
they render. .
Bit by bit, the mill has grown and expanded to its present
size. Improvements have been added to provide greater ef
ficiency. The latest acquisition is a new log hoist which will
remove a minor bottleneck and speed production.
Another interesting fact concerning the mill is its lack of
serious labor trouble. In these days when strikes and labor dis
putes vex the country, the record of sustained operation of
the local plant is a credit to the workmen and the management.
And, speaking of labor disputes, we found particularly inter-!
esling a comment from a soldier now in the South Pacific in a
letter to a Roseburg friend, who brought the remarks to our
attention.
. "I was very surprised," the soldier wrote, "to hear about the
civilian attitude toward the war. They would certainly know
what war is if they ran out of bed at 3 a. m. into a slit trench
that was half full of water. And they would be glnd they got
there. 1 wonder what they would do if they wore the same
mud-soaked clothes for two months without a chance to bathe. ,
"It really burns us up to henr of strikes. If we were on
guard duly there would be neither strikes nor strikers. That, !
to our mind, is as bad as treason and should be dealt with the'
same way. What we think of John L. Lewis I wouldn't like to
say, but we all wish he was a private in this outfit. In fact, the
strikers at national defense works should be stuck in the army, !
then shipped to this God-forsaken hole. Then see what they
have to say." , - . J

DAILY DEVOTIONS
DR. CHARLES A. EDWARDS
Thre never was a time in the
history of the world when men
needed more the command,
"Look now unto heaven." Sure
ly we can drain strength
from that survey. The same
stars are there that Abram be
held; the same God is holding
them in His hollowed hand;
and the same troubled hearts
are striving to find the an
swer to many questions and
needing desperately the assur
ance of the future welfare. We
can never find the answer only
by looking toward heaven and
God. Have you ever stood in
a meadow on a summer even
ing and watched the first stars
prick their silver way through
the blue dusk? Very few there
are at first, but as one looks.
gradually they come, the
hosts beyond hosts, each one
bearing a promise. Let us go
out Into the infinite meadows
of tlie world and lift up our
faces skyward and "tell the
stars." and there dare believe
God's promise that it may be
counted unto us for righteous
ness. No time can be spent
more profitably than in look
ing upward. Abraham Lin
coln said "men are tallest on
their knees it is then they
reach the skies." A great idea
will make a little man great,
lor as a man thinketh in his
heart so is he. Let us look un
and not down. Amen.

In Canning Food

I now being produced by 4-H girls
i throughout the U. S. in a mighty
! war effort. The "bombs" are
! canned fruits, vegetables, meats
I and soups, which are being lined
i up on pantry shelves of rural
; homes for future use. They will
release not only tons of commer
cially canned products for our
armed forces, but also legions of
men, for the vitally important
job of getting foodstuffs and
weapons to the battle fronts.
To obtain proper training in
preparing these "bombs" the
club girls are participating in
the current National 4-H Can
ning Achievement activity, whose
chief objectives are to 'contribute
to the nation's 1343 wartime pro
gram of conserving vital foods,
utilizing farm products, promot
ing varied, balanced diets, and
reducing expenditures by the use
of the family food preservation
plan.
Participants with outstanding
records of achievement in this
activity will receive awards by j
mis, iuui ierr. uuau oi a glass
jar concern,, which are based on
county, state, and national levels.
The activity is being conducted,
along with other 4-H wartime
projects of production and con
servation, under the direction of
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture, state agricultural colleges,
and county extension agents.

attle "about seven out of every
ten families who have filed appli
cations (for dwelling units) have
one or more children. But when
I he majority of landlords closed
their projierties to families with
children the rejected war work
er either had to place his family

case, leave the area and seek em

Residents of a northeast district

Just as the vegetables matured,
th city sold the lots.
Then a private contractor be

The gardeners protested to
city officials, who expressed po

was legally no recourse. 1

WASHINGTON, D. C, July 10.
- Having been In continuous ses
sion since 1939, the congress
Thursday evening passed a con
currenl resolution declaring a re
cess. Unless called Into session
before that time, congress will
resume its work at 12 noon
Tuesday, September 14.
II should be noted that this re
cess Is not the end of a congres
sional session - it is not an ad
journment. When the congress
reconvenes 111 September, (unless
it is called before), it will con
tinue in the first session of the
78lh congress. The second ses
sion will begin after the first of
1911. The concurrent resolution,
which formally authorized the re
cess, was passed by both houses.
Being a concurrent resolution
and not an act of law, the signa
ture of the president Is not re
quired. Congress may be called back
Into session at any time prior to
September 14th by order of the
president of the senate and the
speaker of the house; by joint ac
tion of the majority leader of the
senate! Senator Uarkleyl and tlie
majority leader of the house
(John W. McCormack of Massa
chusetts); or hy joint action of
the minority leader of the sen
ale (Senator McNary) and the
minority leader of the house (Joe
Martin of Massachusetts).
A rumor was floating around
Washington last night that the
president was preparing a "sur
prise" for congress. There is no
hint what sort of thing this "sur
prise" may be. t suppose It is
like most other rumors - pure
guesswork.
The emergency deficiency hill,
which w ill probably he signed by
I he president is of great concern
here in Washington because I he
appropriation is principally Tor
the payment of District of Co
lumbia employes and Capitol help
including congressional secre
taries. These people will get no
pay checks until the bill is sign
ed their pay is past due now.
1 am planning to spend at least
six of tlie eight weeks of recess
in Oregon. I want to make a
trip over I lie district and spend
several days in eaeli of the seven
counties, talking to people and
getting data on problems which
may need allention here when I
get back. My oliice here will he
open all summer. My very effi
cient office staff, llaydcn Gar
her, my secretary, and his assist
ant. Miss Mareella Langdon. will
be on the job. All mail address
ed to me here will he promptly
handled and problems requiring
direct contact Here in Washington
will lie taken care of. I shall, of
course, be In constant touch with
the office hero no matter where
1 may he in the district.
This will he the last "Letter
From Washington" until congress
reconvenes.

mnkrs$l,10 nn hour. Like any other
skilit-d workman he has to have tools.
The principal "tool" in his case i9 a
portabiederrick. which puilslhc pipe
out of the wells. Without that der
rick. Mike's just another uy with
two hands.
2. So in order to use his skill.
Union first had to buy a portable der
rick that cost SJ5.000. At first glance
this may seem like a lot of money. It
takes almost exactly that much to pro-
vide the working equipment for every
employee in the Urnon Oil Company.
3. 01 course, it only takes a tf)
typewriter to put a stenographer to
work. Bui on the other hand, it takes
a J4 .000,000 mining unit to make jobs
for just 25 stilimcn. And if it weren't
for the refining unit, the stenographer
wouldn't havu anything to write
letters about.
4. So thoUnionOil stockholders
have actually invested W5.6 (in re
fineries, ships, tools, rigs, machines,
on lands, etc.) for every one of the
8.102 employees in the company.This
figure shows how drastically the ma
chine age has altered American life.
