FAITH DEMONSTRATED '.'..',..' An event of particular significance occurred in Union last Monday afternoon the ground breaking ceremony which marks the beginning of actual work on the new $17,000 church building which wili house the congregation of the Latter Day Saints in that section of 'the county. The new church will be a avaluable addition to the town of .Union, from the standpoint of material value as well as ser vice rendered the community. Fine church buildings are a distinct asset to any town. They raise the value of other property and make the community a more desirable pne in ; which to live, thus attracting new residents rpf . the higher type. ' There are many people today who do not contribute to the i support of any church, financially or otherwise, but who are nevertheless taking advantage of the benfits that the churches afford their towns and cities. Those people would ( riot think of living in a community without churches, for such a community is alway3 considered mentally and morally degraded, and a most undesirable place in which to raise children. But the citizens of Union have demonstrated that they do appreciate the value of churches and their influence. The Union commercial club, composed of Union's most progrcs " sio. citizens, purchased the land on which the new building j will stand, and turned over the deed to the congregation without obligation of any kind. This new church building will be constructed of .concrete and stone, and will be a truly beautiful edifice that will give long years of service. The commodious auditorium will pro vide for many community gatherings which will doubtless be held there, and a most welcome feature will be the pipe organ for which thu contract provides. This will be Union's first pipe organ, and the only one in the county putside -of the larger La Grande churches. "-. The project would be highly desirable at ,any time, but deserves special commendation right now, since the expendi ture of $17,000 for materials and labor will stimulate con siderable business activity during the coming year. The undertaking is a fine demonstration of faith on the pa it of members of the church and the citizens of Union. g L TS H . TAKING OUR CHANCES 1 he New Jersey gentleman who has asked President Hoover to make the local school authorities 'emit bothering him" seems to be moved by an impulse that 'come? now and then to every parent. This, chap, as you may remember, refuses; to send his children to school, lie .explains that on their'way to school they might be hit by automobiles, or bitten by dogs; or they might fall in with wayward youngsters who would persuade them to play hookey. Failing that, attendance at school might well expose them; to measles, chickenpox, whooping cough or what-not. (Consequently, siuce the way of a school child is encom passed about with so many perils, the New Jersey man has decided that itho only safe thing is to keep his children at ihojiie all the time. Probably there is not a parent in the land who has not, at one time or another, felt n little bit like doing the same thing. For, after all, this man is at least partly right. Going ito school does involve risks. All of the horrible possibilities that this man foresaw really exist, and some of them really ihappen to children in every town in the land. Unfortunately, however, that is the way this world is put together. Every path is beset with perils. The mere process of growing up, school or no school, is a dangerous business. Nowhere on earth is there such a thing as perfect safety. From birth to (loath we move through unpredictable .chances, any one of which may strike us down at any mo ,mcnt. But we have to ntnke the host of it. Wo have to take our chances and trust to luck, to grow caso-hardenod so that we can accept partial security in place of the real thing; and this is especially true if we are going to move upward in any way and take part in the race's long and toilsome climb toward the 'peaks. It would be nice if we .could wrap our children in cotton wool and protect them from all accidents. But it simply isn't possible. The desire for perfect safety, is one desire that can never be gratified. By Herbert riummer WABHinwoN-senntor Huey p.

To abolish the normal school at Monmouth, establish a teachers' col lege at Eugene, merge the state uni versity and Mat college Into one In stitution on the.

For years tho underworld has been grow ing, spreading its tcnaoles through tho groat cities of our land, corrupt ing our public officials, imposing its toll on society. Bolder and bolder these criminals have grown, murdering rival gang-' stcrs. hl-Jncklng liquor cargoes, con-' trolling elections, while a careless public has stood Idly by. So flagrant has this underworld domination be come that only the United States government has the power to "Bend gang chieftains to prison and then' on legal subterfuges such as Income tax evasion. : The depression ended huge profits In the liquor "racket," and gangsters turned .to kidnaping. Many wealthy men hove paid ransom within the last several years, to obtain freedom for themselves or loved ones. ' Stilt tho public was not arousod.
