adter6 C' The Last By The Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick, D.D., Minister of the Riverside Church, New York City Against a grim background of tragic events a little group Of men in an upper room in Jerusalem kept the Passover nearly boo years ago. Of all that happened that night in the vast ' Roman world nothing could have seemed at the time less impor ; tant than that Last Supper. Yet, while even the Roman Empire itself has fallen, that Passover meal, a living reality still, goes on. What if again, in our lime, when the events of the world are huge and obsessing, the real ly significant factors are to be found in something that the cas- ual eye misses, or seeing thinks '. too small to count! At any rate, to us living amid thunderous events, that Last Supper says at least two things. First, that vitality is strong er than size. In the long run, a vital seed growing can split a rock. Vitality was in that upper room, and what is vital lasts, and grows, and spreads, and as Jesus said, "The Gates 1 of Hell shall not prevail against " Wnen 'n's Plane' was young, O-ige volcanoes blazed, while along the edges of the prim eval seas the first living cells appeared. , Who could have guessed that not to the vol- i canoes but to those living cells the future belonged? He who lets huge and terrible events discourage him does not know history. When they have passed away, the vital, germinal, spirit ual forces will still be going East Salem Neighborhood Club Guest at Ricket's East Salem, April 21 The members of the Neighborhood club of Garden Road met at the home of Mr. and-Mrs. Frank Ricket on Garden Road. There were 10 members and four guests present for the afternoon. The program for the afternoon was a very clever memory contest ft ranged by the hostess. Guests were Mrs. Noby Zeller, Mis. Ruth Compton and Mrs. Paul Rasmussen of Salem, and Mrs. Evangelicals to Conduct Campaign The First Evangelical church, Marion and Summer streets, is . conducting a "Home-Front-For-Christ" campaign this week. From Monday through Wed nesday special church workers . are calling upon the families of Salem with which the church has had previous contact. These homes are being in formed of the services to be held Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at the church. The hour Ql the evening services is 7:30. le "Back Home Hour Male Quartet" is to provide the spe cial music on Thursday eve ning. For the remainder of the week the church has brought back to Salem Robert Johnson, tenor soloist from Whitworth college, Spokane. The pastor, the Rev. J. Kenneth Wishart, will preach each night. His themes are: Thursday, "Fol lowing Jesus, Where?"; Friday, "The Joy of Being Remembered" and candlelight Communion ser vice; Saturday, "What Would You Do With Jesus?"; and Sun day, "The Power of God." Switch-Over Hampers American Industry Portland, April 21 VP) American industry is being dis located temporarily because of a switch-over from defensive to offensive production. So asserted Frederick C. Crawford, president of the Na tional Association of Manufac turers, in an Oregonian inter view. "It means a rebalancing of war orders, a cutting down on defensive orders, like anti-aircraft guns, and an increased peed for aircraft and ships. There will be a continuing jhortage of labor on the Pacific coast, if labor is not skillfully Utilized, while in sections of the cast many people may be out of work temporarily," he said. pmoiis fc thii quick nlM.

Everything worth while on earth started as a quiet, inconspicuous idea held by an unnoticed mi nority in some upper room. Such vital ideas make no con temporary headlines, or if noted at. all seem hopeless against their powerful foes. History, however, in the end, changes the perspective. Oaks do grow from acorns. The stone that the builders rejected does be come the head of the corner. The crystal slipper fits despised Cinderella's foot and not her proud sister's. The last do be come first, and the first last. Today, in a turbulent genera tion we need this message. The faith of that upper room has not collapsed; rather, its alterna tives, substitutes, and antagon ists have landed us in world wide catastrophe. The final word belongs to good will, to liberty, democracy, justice, de cency. Between that upper room and Easter stood the Cross, but for all that Easter Day came.

Pierce Talks On Japanese Eugene, Ore., April 21 VP)- "Alien Japanese must go back to Japan when this war is over. There is no place for them here," Walter M. Pierce, former Ore gon governor and congressman, declared here Tuesday in a talk before the Rotary club. Pierce charged that in spite of the fact that the U.S. is at war with Japan, agents ropre' senting alien Japs are extending their holdings of land In Mai. heur county and in the sugar beet lands around Ontario and Nyssa. The lands are being pur chased nominally through chil dren and corporations, but alien Japs control them, the former congressman averred. To those who propose that Japanese in the U.S. be "Amer icanized or Christian ized," Pierce said flatly "it can't be done." He also warned that at the conclusion of the war something must be done about the dual ci tizenship situation. He said the United States has done much for the Japs but in turn they have abused privileges granted them and "have tricked us." Pierce called attention to what he termed the "rabbit rate" of Japanese population in creases, and warned that a con test looms to see whether the Pacific coast will remain white or turn yellow. Twelve rubber tire factories are now operating in South America. CANDLE LIGHT COMMUNION SERVICE Thursday, 8 p.m. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Chemekeia and Winter S(s.

Come tait, with lmcr H unurcn at Marion and summer Blue Coupons Will Buy More Washington, April 21 W) Blue ration coupons will buy about twice as much frozen fruits and vegetables and can ned and dehydrated soups start ing tomorrow. Dry black-eyed peas will be ration-free. A slash in the point values of these goods was announced by the office of price administra tion to prevent warm-weather spoilage and relieve a clogging of storage space resulting from slow sales. It was the second major change in coupon costs of ra tioned fruits and vegetables, and came as the OPA was consider ing an overhaul of some of its meat points, including possible reductions on luncheon and oth er ham and an increase on beef hamburger. These meat changes, if made, probably will come at the end of the month. Fanciers of frozen foods re ceived what officials described as obvious "point bargains," primarily to clear commercial refrigerators of the remnants of last year's pack and make way for this year's. When the new crops come out, they are likely to be point-priced again at about the old levels. The one-point size of frozen fruit was cut from 13 to 6 points, one-pound package of frozen baked beans from 8 to 4 points, and the customary 12-ounce size of other frozen vegetables from a 8-10 point range to a flat rate of 4 points. The customary 10M ounce can of tomato soup was cut from 6 to 3 points and other canned soups from 6 to 4 points. For dry or dehydrated soups, the new values are only a fourth of what they started out to be when pro cessed food rationing began on March 1. The points were cut in half March 29, and again approximately- in half, effective tomorrow. The 2Vz -ounce pack age will take a single point. The south, where black-eyed peas are popular, will hail point freeing of this dry vegetable. Other varieties of dry beans, peas and lentils were unaffect ed and remain at 4 points per pound. Next month's blue coupons, which are G, H and J, may be used starting Saturday. Thus, during the last week of the month, both April and May stamps will be usable simultan eously. Great Fir Log Has Police Escort North Bend, Wash., April 21 ffl The biggest Douglas fir log ever taken out of the North Bend area by truck received a state patrol escort yesterday to a Lake Washington boom.
