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.

DAILY DEVOTIONS -
DR. 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.

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.

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.

Thin Apples With
Spray Gun Advice
Of Horticulturist
AP Newsfeatures
PULLMAN, Wash. 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.
