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.

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.

uncommon ability, was arrested to
day for having written letters to

O Dell's letters, police and secret
service men charged, contained
threats and demands for money.
