John Cox of Dallas, Ore., felt that while the defenses of Company B, 160th In fantry Regiment were adequate, they lacked the artistic touch. So he placed a quarter-pound charge of TNT in the bottom of an empty grapefruit can and filled it with napalm. Placing it in a strategic location, he wired it so he could detonate it from a concealed position. "All I have to do is wait for the Reds to come," said Cox, "and then give them the juice." YAMHILL SOLDIER IN KOREA . McMINNVILLE Sgt. John H. Jackman, son of Mr. arfd Mrs. Charles Jackman, 1405 N.E. Kirbs St., is serving with the 7th Infant ry Division on the west - central front in North Korea. Sgt.

Although light is often thought of as including only visible rays, there are invisible rays such as ultra-violet and infra-red which act in the same manner as light and are often called light. since in the States in late August Mr. and Mrs. Paul Cammack (Phyllis Macy) are to fly in Au gust from La Paz, Bolivia, after 4J2 years' work. Mrs. Trachsel and Cammack are daughter and son of Mrs. Mary Cammack, Salem, Route 9, Box 446, in the Rosedale district. She said it is doubtful if the Trach sels will get to visit Salem on this furlough, since they are to do deputation work for missions in the Eastern U. S. and will reside in that area in order to place their three girls in school. This may be at Anderson, Ind., headquarters of the National Holiness Mission arv Society which they represent. The Paul Cammacks, however, expect to be in the Willamette Valley during the year, with their four children Since 1948 he has been manager of a 3,000-acre mis sion farm near Lake Titicaca in the Bolivian uplands, and both have taught in the Bible school for Indians since going to Bolivia in 1947. Willamette Graduates All four of the adults are Wil lamette University graduates. The Trachsels began mission work in the early 1930s, when he went to China. She followed two years later. She and the oldest daughter came home in 1941, but World War II brought internment in China for Trachsel until 1943, when he was returned here, where his wife was serving as pastor of South Salem Friends Church. After the war, Trachsel went back to China in 1946, and she in 1947, but the spread of Commun ist control sent them in 1949 to South India. There he has been superintendent of the Kolar mis sion. Visit to Africa The furlough journey home In cludes passing through Africa to visit the society's various mission fields and do preaching. This is only the third of the six long trips out and back that the couple has had together, according to re cent letters from Mrs. Trachsel to her mother. The letters also note the following incidents from the travels: At Mom'jasa, Kenya, they saw the colonial governor review troops. "The African troops look ed very gay in their red fez caps and wide red belts; a band play ed, and the troops and some sail ors went through maneuvers." In Tsavo National Park, a game preserve, they saw gazelles, hippo potamuses and even a rhinoceros next to the road "The problem was how to get by him his old horn in his snout sulely looked wicked and he did too. He sud denly squared off and looked like he was going to charge." But the car sped by and the rhino missed. They had a similar ex perience with some elephants, but didn't get 1o see any lions. The missionaries spent a short time in Nairobi, Kenya, where Queen Elizabeth of Britain (then princess) was when her father died. Mrs. Trachsel said they were disturbed by Africa's segregation between Europeans and non-Europeans after working in the "free countries" of China and India. Fertile Farms In this area of Kenya, she wrote, the farms all have 1,000 acres or more, are quite fertile and rain is heavy somewhat like the Wil lamette Valley. Nearly all farmers have trucks and tractors. At Cheptenye, where Trachsel was doing some preaching "Our usual routine is to start out in the car about 10 a.m., with baby buggy, lunch, public address and folding chairs. After we arrive at the mud and thatch school house where the meeting is to be held, the head preacher does some preaching and announcing" over the P.A., so that the people will hear all over the valley. By 11:30 enough people have come so that we can start meeting." After sing ing and preaching the head preacher gives the altar call. A second meeting starts about 2 p.m., but there is none at night because of the wild animals. "The thing we notice most are the women that come dressed in their hides and skins with big stretched ears and beaded work hanging from the lobes and big rigs of beads around the necX and metal things on their arms weighting them down. All heads are close-cropped. The women do all the work in the fields and all go barefooted." Mill Operators, Loggers Urged Fire Control Loggers and mill operators are being sent a special appeal by Keep Oregon Green Association to make every effort possible to prevent fires in the forested areas. Operators were advised that fire conditions are becoming more hazardous. Records indicate fires have been caused this season by the following defects in operating equipment: 1. Faulty spark arrestors on ex hausts. 2. Smoking while working on the job. 4. Refueling power chain saws in dangerous locations. 4. Dynamiting tops out of spar trees during closed season. 5.

SQ0p)p)Dy (2Kn)S ?IF(2)Im) Did you know that the Pacific Coast states Washington, Oregon and California produce only 40To of the nation's lumber? And that 41 comes from the southern states? There art more than 53,000 tawmills in America, plus many thousands of producers of building materials that can be substituted for lumber. This is what makes the building supplies industry such a higliJy competitive one. Some 6,000 lumber wholesalers and 26,000 retail lumber dealers seek lumber supplies for their customers at the lowest possible prices. It is this competitive buying based on supply and demand that determines lumber prices. The market is so widespread and the distribution system so complex, that no single producer or group of producers can control prices. It is up To the Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, producing only 2.6 of the nation's lumber, to win customers by manufacturing needed quality products at competitive prices and by giving good service, so that w can keep our mills operating continuously.
