ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG. OREGON, THURSDAY. MAY I. 1947 THIRTEEN School Masters Back Sales Tax An endorsement of the retail tale tax as an offset to the gen eral property tax was voted in a resolution passed by the Douglas County School Masters' Club this week. The county unit of the Oregon State Teachers Association was urged by the club to give "care ful consideration" to the sales tax measure to be voted on Oct. 7, in a state-wide special election. "It is felt the sales tax should be endorsed by the OSTA, and that that group should work for its passage," said Superintend ent of Schools, Paul S. Elliott.

CHARLES A. EDWARDS When Job had lost his prop erty, family and wealth, his wife advised him to "curse God and dies." He rebuked her, saying she spoke as one of the foolish (heathen) women, and bade her look back and recall the blessings of former days. How like ourselves, who pro fess to be Christian. Our mem ories are very short. When the winds of winter howl, we are apt to forget the roses that bloomed in the garden in June. We are usually serene and happy when we are well and prosperous, but when illness, sorrow, or disaster comes, we are too likely to forget the long years of good health and happiness and prosperity that God has given us in the past. It is well to light a candle and go back to review the goodness of God to us all along our pathway. On such days Job said: "God's ca"hdle shone up on my head." God does not change His love tqward His children. If our Uvea are check ered with shadow as well as sunshine, let us always remem ber that He dwells in the thick darkness just as in the light. As Lowell puts it: "Standeth God within the shadow, keep ing watch above His own." Amen. ministration due to population increases should not have to be borne by the property tax. This is not a matter of whether the sales tax is right or wrong," Elliott said. The Douglas County School Masters' Club is an organization of men teachers. Lloyd Parsons, superintendent at Yoncalla, is president. Warren Coyne, in structor at Roseburg Junior High School, serves as secretary of the club. Strawberry Picking to Be Earlier This Year SALEM, Ore., May 1. (JP oirawoerry picKing, wnicn will begin in a few days, will be two weeks earlier than any year since 1941, the last early season, a sur vey of Willamette Valley grow ers showed today. Picking of all fruit crops will begin early because of the early spring, but fruit growers said their crops will be much lighter than those of last year, because of frost and cold rains during blossoming time. Prune and cherry crops will be especially light, with many prune growers saying they won't have enough prunes to pick.

Sold and installed only by COEN LUMBER COMPANY Ask for Estimate Atomic Energy to Stay U.S. Secret, LilienthalSays By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON D. C Making a first public statement since his Senate confirmation to the chair manship of the Atomic Energy Commission, David E. Lilienthal told a closing Washington meet ing of the American Society of Newspaper Editors that the U. S. had lost its momentum in the development of atomic energy. "The U. S. is not as well off, atomically, as we were 20 months ago when the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima," said Lilienthal. Declaring that "we have lost time much of It unavoidable," LiUcr.ihal asked, "Are we to maintain and increase the head start we had on the world, or fall behind? Will we fool around and politic around, or are we to press forward In the vigorous tradition at a pioneer nation?" Answering these questions, Lili enthal's speech was in many ways a reassurance to his critics and detractors, who for over three months fought his nomination for the Atomic Energy Commis sion chairmanship. He pledged that the development of atomic energy would remain a govern ment secret. At the same time he indicated a program of fullest possible development, shared by the government and private en terprise. Dramatizing his opening re marks, Lilienthal held up a little vial of uranium which he said weighed two and a half pounds. Five years ago, he said, no one had ever seen that much of the black metal. Not because it was rare. Just because it was unim portant. Now it was the most important material in world councils. The energy in the fission of the three million billion billion 3,000.000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms in the sample he held up would, said Lilienthal, equal the energy of 2,500 tons of coal That would run the whole city of Washington for a day. New Concepts of Universe This u (leavers new concepts of the universe, said Lilienthal. bringing into being new skills, new ideas. The first problem, he said, was to sense that a pro found change had taken place in the world. He then outlined three "drastic steps" by which the Atomic Energy Commission proposed to meet these changed ' conditions and regain the u. a, margin of lost advantage in atomic age progress. I I. A major effort carried for- ward Jointly by American sci ence, industry, the armed forces i and government to make the U. S. the greatest bulwark of freedom in the whole world. "A ' strong atomic energy Industry can be as important to the United States as a strong steel, auto or chemical industry," Lili icnthal asserted. I 2. A great and sustained pro i gram of atomic energy education i "at the grass roots of every com 'munity in the land." Lilienthal disclaimed that it was the gov ernment's responsibility to carry out this program. Indirectly he tossed this problem to the press, the schools, and similar media of Information. Contrary to gen eral belief, Lilienthal declared that an understanding of the issues Involved is not over the heads of most people. 3. Development of an under standing of U. S. policy for in ternational control for atomic warfare, Lilienthal maintained. Still in Crude Stage Relative to the possible mis uses of atomic energy, Lilienthal poined out that atomic energy reserach and development, whether for peace or for war, is virtually an identical process. Only in the very final stages is there a difference between de structive and peaceful uses. The atomic bombs produced thus far represent a crude beginning com pared with what future research and development might produce. He declared that the present knowledge of atomic energy rep resented the barest beginnings. "Everything lies ahead," he said. "It should be a measure of our success that we strive to acquire new and better ways that will make today's plants obsolete." Father Divine, White Wife 'Throw' Anniversary Feast PINE BROOK, N. J., May 1. (JP Father Divine celebrated his first wedding anniversary with a seven-hour, 350-course feast for the followers of his movement Tuesday night. The Negro religious leader and his richly-dressed 23-year-old white wife, the former Edna Ritchings of Montreal, sat at a. huge table flanked by giant pink and white wedding cakes and bouquets of pink rosebuds as waitresses in white satin gowns passed out the food. Above the couple shone a noon sign with the words "God's Holy Communion Table of Palace Mis sion," Song tributes to "The Lamb and His Spotless Bride" came from a choir of 50 young girls. Father Divine poured coffee for his guests from a silver pitcher while his attractive bride smiled approval. The waitresses and waiters distributed 100 meat dishes, 60 salads, 20 beverages all non-alcoholic and dozens of platters of relishes and pickles.

The up-to-date orchardist is doing his ap ple thinning with a spray gun. John C. Snyder, extension hor ticulturist at Washington State College, says the new "blossom spray" technique to remove ex cess apples even before they have formed has proved success ful in Washington s famed apple belt. The idea saves labor and in creases production, Snyder says, if a few fundamental cautions are observed. He expects the process to become an important phase of apple production throughout the nation. Here's how it works: A chemical spray is applied while the trees are in full bloom. The spray kills the younger blos soms and leaves the older ones intact. The undamaged blossoms develop Into apples. The "thin ned" blossoms don't. The sodium salt of dintro cresol, known as elgotol, has been the most effective spray in Washington tests, Snyder says. No Good on Some Varieties The method works only with self-pollinating varieties such as Golden Delicious, Jonathon, Rome Beauty, Yellow Transpar ent and Mcintosh. Snyder does not recommend it for those va rieties which are not self-pollinating or which are affected by mil dew. The orchardist should be sure that hjs fruit set is heavy," Sny der says. "He must be sure that good pollination, subsequent fer tilization and fruit set is obtained before he uses the sprays. Nor is thinning spray recommended for weak trees. Orchards which have been getting good crops should be suitable, but those which have not are riskv." Until application techniques are perfected, Snyder recommends that the soray be applied lightly and hand-thinning utilized to fin ish the job. Increases Production Handled carefully, he says, the spray thinning method not only saves a lot of work but Increases product ion. That's because the trees don't have to use up a lot of energy de veloping excess apples which would be thinned out before thev mature. Part of that conserved vigor goes toward growing big ger, better apples. The rest goes to producing strong buds for the next year's crop. Thus, the spray I eliminates the "alternate bear ing" phenomenon which causes trees to bear well one year but not tho next. Because apples are as popular as fried chicken across the na tion, Snyder expects orchardlsts throughout the country gradual ly to turn to the spray gun to eliminate hand-thinning one of the most arduous chores in tne apple industry.
