    2 The New-Reviev, Roburg,
Major Jobs
Still Facing
Legislature
Budget Balancing, Aid
To Education Await
Decisions At Salem
By PAUL W. HARVEY, Jr.
SALEM (AP) Seven jobi re
main to be done by the 10-weeka-old
Oregon Legislature, House
Speaker Robert Duncan laid to
day. The lawmaker! will have to get
nn the ball fast if they hope to
achieve their desire to wind up
the session hy mid-April.
In listing the seven tasks. Dun-
on said he is speaking only for
himself. But Duncan's thinking
appears to be the composite
thinking of most Democrats.
There has been very little ac
tion on the seven items. There has
not been much action on anything
else that's important, either.
Diuican's seven priority Items
are:
1. Balance the budget without
new taxes, if possible
2. Achieve some reorganization
of state agencies.
3. Do something to assure Ore
eon its fair share of federal cower.
4. Set up health and sanitation
standards in farm labor camps.
3. Achieve some reform of the
state's courts, especially In the
handling of juvenile cases.
8. Create an Interim committee
to study distribution of state
school funds.
7. Increase the amount of
money in the unemployment com
pensation trust Jund, posBioiy ny
making employes contribute.
The farm labor camp bill has
been passed hy the House. None
or tne other items nas oeen con
sidered by either house. .
School Aid Urged
There are two big hearings next
week. Proposals to increase Dasic
school aid to local, districts will
be considered before the Educa
tion rommitteea Monday night.
The bill to create a state Power
Commission will be discussed be
fore the House Judiciary Commit
tee Thursday afternoon.
Legislators have been deluged
with telegrams to Increase school
aid. Pearson told the Senate the
telegrams are inspired by the
Oregon Education Assn., which
wants the $105 per child per year
aid increased at least to $120.
The Democratic majority, how
ever, is committed against such
an increase because it would have
to increase taxes to do it.
Legislators also are being be
sieged with telephone calls and
telegrams against the bill to put
Oregon on daylight saving time
this year.
The campaign against the bill
is being financed by theater inter
ests. The House probably will vote
on the bill next week.

PLAIN TRUTH
By Gltn W. Lundy: Goipol Ivongelist
Our ejuest writer for today, John M. York, will complete a Uriel
of viral spiritual discussions tomorrow with "Who Aro Our Enemies?"
at 11:00 A.M. and "We Have Forsaken All For Thee" at 7:30 P.M.
"MUST fha BIBLE toy, THOU SHALT NOT?"
There ara twa baiic laws of Christian conduct found among pro
faned Chriitiani today. Almoet every protested believer claims to
ba governed by one of theie rulei. The tint that we consider It:
Wa may do ANYTHING which ie NOT aiprenly FORBIDDEN In
the scriptures. In other words, anything Is harmless and pure, so long
as the Bible does not say, "THOU SHALT NOT ". This rule,
when followed, permits the uia at mechanical initruments of music
in worship to God, tor the Bible does not say, "Thou sholt not uta
mechanical instruments of music in worship." But observe the
ABOVE RULE would permit the SUBSTITUTION of cake and lea
cream for the bread and fruit of the vine at the Lord's Supper. Yet
SINCERE CHRISTIANS would NOT QUESTION the EVIL of such
an ACT.
The other rule Is the only ona that may be CONSISTENTLY
FOLLOWED with no danger of embracing impure practices. That
rule ii, "We may da ONLY THOSE things which the BIBLE AUTHOR
IZES. This would forbid the uta of mechanical Instruments of mutie
in the 'worship, for GOD has AUTHORIZED "us to uia VOCAL
MUSIC. "Speaking to yoursalvae In psalms and hymns and spiritual
tongs, singing and making melody In your heart to tho Lord;"
(Ephetians 5:19). This, of course, alio RULES OUT tho SUB
STITUTION of caka and lea cream or anything else, for the bread
and fruit of tho vino at tha Lord's Supper. It would bo completely
impractical for God to attempt to write a "thou shalt not " in
the Bibla for every avil act. How much easier It is to specify
those THINGS that era RIGHT and leave it to SINCERE people
to be CONTENT with THOSE THINGS.
With what ere we concerned? Are wa endeavoring to perform the
will at God The Bibla clearly teaches us Hit will. Let us arise
end be about the Father's business.
You ere urged to attend services when tha Church of Christ
meats, and especially the conclusion of tha present meeting. Listen
to KYIS at 9:00 o'clock en Lord's Day morning.

a work stoppage, and not that of
the general public.
Their resolution was in the form
of a recommendation to the Ore
gon State Public Welfare Commis
sion, welfare policy making body.
Democratic leaders, along wun
thqir resolution, produced a copy
of a letter from Martin Bros, to
Jeanette Jewell, state welfare ad
ministrator, dated March 10 sug
gesting the ending of welfare bene
fits to idled workers. Copies were
sent to the County Court and Coun
ty Welfare Commission.
In the party s resolution it was
stated: "That the Democratic Par
ty of Douglas County request the
resignation of V. T. Jackson from
the County Court of Douglas Coun
ty, thereby removing himself from
the Welfare Commission; and that,
should he not resign, that the Dem
ocratic party of Douglas County
request tne Hon. marx uauieiu,
Governor of Oregon, to remove tho
said V. T. Jackson from his posi
tion for malfeasance in office."
The attack on Mrs. Baker asked
for her "immediate removal" from
office "for the reason that she has
lost the confidence and respect of
a large portion of Douglas Coun
ty residents and those unfortunates
she is employed to serve."
It said further she "followed the
Martin Bros, request ... in a
press release . . . placing the com
mission on the side of the com
pany ... by stating the number
of employes receiving public as
sistance and the amounts received
by them."
Lynch, earlier this week, dis
avowed the commission action and
stated he was not aware the mat
ter would be on the March 11 meet
ing agenda.
The Democratic executive board
resolution said the action of Jack

Budget Cuts Evoke
Ike's Denunciation
(Continued From Page One) '
$8,310,000 less than the Treasury
asked but the same amount sought
by the lax Lourt.
Passage of the bill cleared the
way for a House vote and an al
most certain floor fight next week
on an omnibus appropriation bill
which had contained Eisenhower's
loan fund request.
The bill now earmarks $2,479,-3-10,494
to finance miscellaneous
federal agencies and departments
for the remaining three months of
Hie 11)59 fiscal year.
Altogether, the Appropriations
Committee slushed the omnibus
measure by $385,614,032 of which
the loan fund rejection was the
biggest cut.
At least part of the Hind may
be restored later when the House
considers the 1900 foreign aid ap
propriation. But this would charge
the loan fund money against the
new budget which Kiscnhower is
trying lo balance.
The administration had request
ed the money be included in the
current year budget, which is al
ready heavily unbalanced.

ing of Rebeccas and the Encamp
ment ana Auxiliary 01 ine oraer.
Ledge Founders Recalled
Six prominent farmers and Rose
burg business men signed the
lodge charter that night more than
a century ago when the chapter
was founded. Some of them had
ridden day on horseback to get
to town, Jackson said in his talk.
Heading the list was Crawford
Gaddis, a local farmer whose fam
ily later established and ran a
creamery in Roseburg. The 16
acre plot called Gaddis Park which
the city has acquired on the river
between 99 and NE Stephens St.
is part of the old homestead.
"Gaddis orobably was the out
standing leader in the early days of
the lodge trom the standpoint ol
service." Jackson said. "For years
every motion considered for lodge
action was either made or sec
onded by Crawford Gaddis," the
judge continued. Several of i the
founders children and grandchil
dren still live in the Roseburg area
I. N. Choyinskie, an itinerant
merchant in the early days of the
territory, was another charter
signer. His son, Joe, later became
a prize fighter and once tougni
the fabled Bob Fitzsimmons.
Also there for the founding was
Rufus Mallory, an attorney and
school teacher, who later was elect
ed to Congress from Oregon. He
served from 1867 to 1871.
Joel Thorn, who held one of the
original donation land claims near
Canyonville, was among the char
ter signers. He rod by horse to
Roseburg with J. v.. u. vanoer
Bosch to attend the first session.
Sixth member of the charter
group was E. S. Kearney of whom
little is known today.
James F. Gazlev and John Ful-
lcrton. IOOF members from other
lodges, came to Roseburg to help
set up me cnapier. uerr. mauie,
prominent Riddle resident, is the
grandson ot Uaziey, jacKson not
ed. The new lodge took form in the
Masonic Lodge Hall which was
used by Odd Fellows for meet
ings during the first two years of
activity. Later they moved to
their own building located where
Central Junior High School now
stands.
Odd Fellows throughout the world
are known by the three links in
a chain which symbolizes the or
ganization. It now embraces 1,345,
000 members in the U.S., Can
ada, Latin America and eight coun
tries abroad.
The three chain links stand for
love, friendship and truth in the
fraternal order. The Bible is the
guide for conduct of the member
ship who pledge to stand by tne
Christian credo.
In his anniversary talk. Judge
Jackson said no one really knows
where the organization was found
ed or when. "Its origin is lost in
the haze of antiquity, although
some say the term was used in the
Roman army, and that Legion
naires of Rome had a secret way
of identifying one another which
earned for them the term Odd
FelloR."
Earliest date of a known and
recorded organization was -1745 in
Manchester, England, where the
first unity was established. An bn
glishman in America, Thomas Wil
dy, in 1819, put an ad in the news
paper, Baltimore American, say
ing he'd be glad to meet with any
brothers of the area at a certain
Baltimore tavern and coffee house
on a certain date. Five Odd Fel
lows showed up. forming the nu
cleus for the first chapter of the
nr,lnr in tliie (.nnnlv
The organization grew and
spread to other cities, and in 1840
the U. S. Sovereign Grand Lodge
was organized, seceding from the
parent order abroad.
Jackson, who has been a member
of the Roseburg lodge since 1915,
has held all the offices and be
came State Grand master for the
IOOF, said there may be other rea
sons whv members were called
Odd Fellows, besides those attri
buted to Roman soldiers.
"In early days, before hospitals,
nurses and doctors were preva
lent, members visited the sick and
often took care of them. They also
had among their duties the burial
of the dead and the education of
orohans. I suppose this would
make them seejit odd to a lot of
neonle . the iudee recalled.
He went on to name a long list
of early day members who were
among Douglas County's most
prominent citizens, many of whom
have descendants living today in
this area.
These early day members includ
ed Mortier Howe. Asher Marks,
W. R. Willis, J. R. Noah. J. S.
Fitzhugh, D. L. Watson. F. Mof
fitt, John Lenherr, Virgil and
George Conn, William Carll, J. G.
Deardorff, J. S. Van Buren. S. S.
Williams. D. C. McClallan and J.
M. Wright.
They were joined by Binger
Herman. J. It. Dixon. George M.
Brown, T. B. Kent, John Arzner,
E. Stephens and J. J. Farquar,
the judge reported.
