Cottage Grove has one ot the best skiing grounds in the state within an easy hour’s drive over good roads as well as some of the most scenic recreational grounds, but until recently no sort of effort has been made to make these possibilities ae- oessible. As has been pointed out in these columns b lore, we might have a good road up to the summit of the l»ol t»niss. if indivi duals and groups of individuals would evidence sufficient in terest in these recreational possibilities to ask for a little aid in road building. There aren’t many things in life handed out on a silver platter and roads are not an exception to this rule. Right now the Bohemia ski club faces a handicap on ac count of the fact that there is no all-weather road into this region. We have been told by government officials that if the public here would evidence more interest in the Bohemia section that road iiwprovenieufs would be possible. Except for a little noise made by thc'Chamber of Commerce about a year ago. noth ing more has been heard on the subject. If individuals and groups of individuals, not as members of arp’ organization, but as citizens, would contact the CCt organ isation, we feel sure that improvements over the road from Disston on would be forthcoming within the next few months. NO “ PR IC E PR O B L EM ." In some influential circle«, the belief is gaining ground that government price-fixing will be one of the inevitable emergency steps of the near future. This belief is based on the theory that only through stern governmental action can dangerous price in flation be avoided as the defense program strains our produc tive resources. Time may prove that contention, but it does seem as if the advocates of Federal price-fixing are premature. AVe have been living on an officially-proclaimed *’ limitcd emergency basis for a year, and in a world in which the normal peace-time econ omy has been dislocated. Act there has been no ‘ ‘ price, prob lem .” To the contrary, advances in the general cost of living in dexes have been extremely small. And of late, the commodity cost graphs have been tending slightly downward. Here’s a predicament tor yon: F S. N araoka. publisher ot weekly Japanese Times a t Fresno.

A L e c tu re on Christian Science Entitled Christian Science: The Science of Government by Gavin W . Allan, C. S. B. of Toronto, Ontario, C anada others. The larger the household, the greater the number of mental ities through which self ma)- en deavor to assert itself, and self has quite a family. Here are some of them: fear, jealousy, hatred, self-importance, self - righteous ness, self-justification, s e lf- w ill- trouble makers every one. I f these qualities were always recognized as impersonal errors they would deceive no one, and would have little opportunity to cause trouble, but if. on the other hand, we allow ourselves to per sonalize these evil tendencies, to admit that one member of the fam ily is governed by this one, and another by that, and then be cause of this permit ourselves to deal unfairly w ith, or dislike the person, we shall allow evil to gain a foothold which may not be quickly dislodged. Frequent ly we may find it help ful to consider what it was that enabled Jesus to help others so effectually. Whether the belief to be overcome was sicknses, sin. or death, our Master proved that it could lie done immediately. What equipped him to do this? Was it not that be entertained a "cor rect view" ot what man really is? Our textbook answers this ques tion in a sentence. This is it: "Jesus beheld in Science the per fect man. who appeared to him where sinning m ortal man appears to mortals. In this perfect man the Saviour saw God's own like ness. and this correct view of man healed the sick" (Science and Health, p. 476). I f "this correct view of man” enabled Jesus to help others, how important that we should endeavor through Chris- ian Science to acquire “ this cor rect view.” Nation. The interest of the individual should extend to an even wider circle the nation. There govern ment is all to frequently in flu enced by politicians in their p a rti san activities. Politics as defined by the dic tionary is. "The science and a rt of government.” It is therefore some thing in which each of us should be so vita lly interested that he would do his utmost to elect as his representatives those who have the highest concept of govern ment. The a rt of government should be peculiarly the field of action of the Christian Scientist, for is he not learning that God alone govirns, and that the Sci ence which deals w ith God's gov ernment of man and the universe is the only science of government ? When the inhabitants of a coun try are completely subject to God's government, their politics w ill be scientific. An enlightened citizenship is the need of the hour. Individual liberties are under constant and subtle attack, and alertness is re quired to safeguard popular gov ernment, and civil and religious freedom. Autocracies may be su perficially efficient.

Lytle of the animal division of the state department of agriculture, whose answers in each Instance was "no” . A farmer In one section of the state was reported to be docking the tails of his cows, leaving them about a foot long. Presumably the tails were a nuisance at m ilking time. Dr. Lytle pointed out that there is a law which makes it illegal to m utilate animals. A ja il sentence andor fine up to $100 is the legal penalty. This same law exempts, however, the dehorning of cattle or the docking of horses or sheep as practiced by stockmen.
