GILROY, D. D. In pastoral countries, when water is 'scarce and flocks are large, wells and watering places , are of the utmost importance in the maintenance of life and prosperity.' The stories of strife over such places by rival herd men in the Bible are but a part of the historic records of such strife in many lands and at many times. Water has assumed in the rec ords of the past much the place of importance and rivalry that oil assumes in the rivalry of nations today. Great and worthy honor was attached to the digger of wells, and to those who kept them clean and open. The well at Sychar, where Jesus met and conversed with the woman of Samaria, was known as "Jacob's Well," though Jacob had been dead for many generations. Among Abraham's great achievements as a civilzcr and nation builder was his digging of wells. In spite of his mag nanimous attitude and his peace loving nature, however, he had trouble over the -wells, and when ne made a compact with Abi- mciech, he complained to that king because his servants had "violently taken away" a well that Abraham had dug. Abime loch professed ignorance of the matter, and the ndju.stmrnl of their dispute was signalized by naming the well "Bccrsheba" or "the well of the nath." But the trouble was not end ed. Abraham, it must he rcmem bfcd, though he loved peace, and was billing to make much sacrifice of his Forsonal interest to secure it, was a vigorous war rior when forced to fight. When, in the war of the Kings (Gene sis. Chapter 14, his kinsman, Lot, Slid his family, and his pos sess i!-. had been earrird off in an iisjauH nsj Sodmi, Abiaham organized .his' men, pursued and signally defeated the ageresior, recovering the captives and the loot. The victory may have had its reprisals, and may have ac counted for those who could not defeat Abraham in the field tak ing their reeng? by filling up the wells that he hid dug. In any case, these wills hod been filled up in the troubled tunes, and First Presbyterian Sixth and Washington' Rev. Mark A. Talney, pastor. Sunday school 9:45 a. m.

' among the best things recorded concerning Isaac is that he dug again the wells of Abraham that the Philistines had stopped tip. This wasn't enough, however, for new strife arose between Isaac's herdmen and those of the herdmen of Gerar, where Isaac had settled. But Isaac had inher ited Abraham'3 conciliatory na ture and his persistency. When the herdmen fought over one well, Isaac called it Esek, mean ing Contention; when they fought over another, he called it Sitnah, mcanjng Hatred; but when he dug anoihcr well, for which there was no strife, he called it Rehoboth, meaning Room, "for now," he said, "the Lord hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land." There is a parable in all this for those of us who live today. God has really made room for us, all, is we choose to live in peace and fruitfulness. Appease ment in our lime has been ac companied with disregard for right and justice, and the results have been disastrous; but this should not blind us to the gen eral fact and law that good will bcgels good will. There is wis dom still in the magnanimity of Abraham, and in the nolicv and j method of Isaac. His persistent wen-oigging won out over his well-destroying enemies. Water Tank Moved At Meacham To Save Train Time Moving of a water tank at Meacham to make poriible 10 minute watering of freight trains, instead of the 30 minutes pre viously requiied, is now being carried out. C. E. Metsken, water service foreman of the bridge and building department of the Union Pacific railroad, announced to day. Piping has lietin rearranged to move the tank one-hall mile ea."t, in order that trains may be wa tered at both ends, thereby cut ting the time !0 minutes. Cost of moving the 65,000 gallon tank is estimated at illu.UOO, and should be completed the last part of this month.

Troop Returns From Mill Creek Canyon The return to La Grande of members of the Girl Scout troop sponsored by the Catholic church ended the camping trip which started Wednesday morning at Birnic's cabin up Mill canyon. A series of activities were con ducted for the nine girls who made the trip, including a wiener roast over a campf ire;, hikes, group singing, dancing and games. Contributing to the joyousness of the occasion was the old-fashioned organ in the cabin, which fur nished music and accompaniment for the singing.. In charge of the girls was Mr3. B. Davin, new troop leader, and her daughter, Sharon Davin, and Janet Leffel. The girls were taken to the camping site in cars, but hiked home today.

Social Security Cards Used For Cashing Checks Ocasional complaints, w h ic h tend to become more numerous at the harvest season, that social security account number cards are improperly used as identifica tion for check-cashing purposes, today led Vernon A. Welo, man ager of the La Grande office of the' social security board, to is sue the following cautionary statement: t "T h c social security account number card is not intended to serve as identification for check cashing purposes, and should not be accepted as such. "A social security card is issued to any person who applies for it. It is issued for one. purpose, and only one. That is to identify a social security account on which the wage record of the possessor may be posted as credit toward old-age and survivors insurance benefits. The account number is used with the person's name to identify his social security ac count, because many people have the same name but no two can have the same number."

New Picture Has Cary Grant Doing New Kind of Role When a Cary Grant picture Is announced for local presentation it has always been something that moviegoers have cheered about. Their happy "hurrahs" are once again in order since Columbia's "Once Upon a Time," starring Cary and featuring Janet Blair, is to play Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at the Liberty theater, and all the more so since advance reports say that this is Cary's grandest, is different, is some thing new under the Hollywood sun. It certainly! sounds different. According to word from preview audiences, the plot revolves around the discovery and promo tion of a caterpillar which is sup posed to dance' to the tune of "Yes Sir, That's My Baby." A bit of genuine young Amer icana! That's the latest March of Time "Teen-age Girls," opening Sunday at the Liberty theater, the story of what our teen-age youngsters are thinking and do ing! Prepared with the assistance of a special tcenage advisory board, it shows what the teen age girl likes in music and read ing matter, in clothes, in games and hobbies! Boiled pork and beer was a favorite breakfast of Anne Bo leyn, one of the wives of Henry VIII.

But many have already decided to channel a little or all of their wasta paper funds into a new cause . . . added comforts for our returning wounded.
