Rosicrucians Celebrating New Year The vernal equinox on March 31 when the iun enters the astrono mical sign of Aries, upon Its celes tial Journey around the Zodiac marks the ancient beginning of the New Year commemorated by the Rosicruclan order, AMORC, a phil osophical fraternity. For centuries the peoples of the orient celebrated the beginning of the new year on or about March 21. when this astronomical phen omenon occurred, and which also appeared the logical time, being spring, when all nature was In a state of rebirth and awakening. The ancient Egyptians declared the advent an occasion for festivities, and partook of a symbolic feast of corn bread, salt and grape juice, representing the principle elements of man's nature, says a statement by Dora E. Nelson, district com mlssioner of the order. "The traditional history of the Rosicrucians records its establish ment during the reign of Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, 1350 B. C who is said to have Instituted the ancient ceremony and feast, which is con tlnued In commemoration in the iame ancient manner by the Rosi crucians throughout the world to day. The Imperator of the order declares annually, by proclamation, from the grand lodge of the order in San Jose, California, the exact date of the ceremony." Throughout North and South America, newly appointed officers for the local lodges and chapters of the society will be Installed fol lowing the ancient rites. 8 Candidates For Governor The number of republican can didates for governor in the primary election May 20 was raised to five today with the filing of Charles L.

Northwest Opposes Forest Transfer Washington, March 21 (JP) A week's debate on govern mental reorganization left a very definite impression on Cap ital hill that the west did not want the forest service trans ferred from the agriculture depart- ment Nowhere In the reorganization bill Is such a proposal set forth. But there appeared a deep-rooted con viction on the part of many sena tors that such a move would occur. Even with the assurance of Secre tary Ickes, head ot the Interior de partment to which some xe?r the service would be transferred, that he was not going to "seize the for est service," failed to stem the flood of protests against the language of the measure. The bill drew the fire of Senators Borah (R.-Idaho), Pltlman (D. Nev.) and Bone (D.-Wash.) and several others who vigorously sup ported a proposal by Senator Wheel er (D.-Mont.) that the measure be amended to require congressional ratification of all proposed shifts In governmental agencies. While the senators said their fears extended to many "111-advlsed" transfers, debate centered around the possibility of shifting the forest service from its present berth. Senator Borah said SO per cent of the people connected with the for est service opposed transfer of the service to the Interior department. "If we vote for this bill as it Is, wo are voting away our power to protect the forest service In case it should be transferred," he said. Senator Pope, Borah's democratic colleague, said he was not convinced that such a transfer would come to pass; that he had assurances from high officials that It was not con templated. Borah replied that private assur ances were "no protection against such a thing happening." The senate, he continued, had "ample warning" that such a shift was in the wind. "The report which waa made by the Brownlow committee recom mended the transfer," he said. "The president sent the report to con gress with his tacit approval. In ad dition to that, influential members In the administration have urged the transfer," Attends McBeth Rite. Independence Cliff McBeth, of this city went to Corvallls Friday to attend the funeral services of his brother, Sam McBeth, who passed away at the home of his son, Ira McBeth, In McTtmmondt valley on Tuesday. Pneumonia was the cause ot the unexpected death of the brother.
