MAY 1«. 1935 PIKE DEPARTMENT RE-ORGANIZED A reorganization of the city fire department was inevi­ table if higher insurance rates were not to be |»aid. With a new insurance commissioner and new reports in order Spriugfield could not travel much longer on a false report on file calling for three paid fireman and 12 volunteers as a basis for the present insurance rates. Three full time [»aid men can not he afforded for fire service, so it will be necessary to use as firemen other paid city employees and night men sleeping at the fire hall. A consolidation of the city departments at the city hall build­ ing was a logical arrangement in order to have an effective department. The training of volunteers with twice a month drlls is also nec essary if we are to retain our rating, insur­ ance rates are far too high in Springfield and to have th ett mount higher would be poor business. Commercial rates are as much as three times as high as adjoining towns All major fires in late years have been complete losses. Our record is poor and it is up to us to Improve it. In tins the city government should have complete support.. We feel this support will be forthcoming just as soon as personal politics ceases to be an issue in town. SLAYING THE LUMBER GOOSE The lumber strike is reported as causing a loss to the industry of »1.000.000 a week. Who gets that loss'* It is certain that the mill operator whose plant is idle does not and it is also certain the striker whose wages have stopped does not. Four hundred car loads of shingles have come into the northwest from British Columbia since the strike began. I-arge lumber shipments are also coming in. With the box industry down the paper carton is increasing its business greatly. The market lossed during this strike will be very hard to regain. Lumber is now too high to stimulate much building and if it must go higher as a result of the strike then there will be a slacked demand and many mills will never reopen. Some operators might pay more than the minimum now but it is out of the question for them to reach <5 cents on common labor. A glance at the way they pay their taxes and meet other obligations will convince one that no surplus is being accumulated by the operators. The whole strike is futile and ill timed. Its leaders are really the enemies of organized labor. Springfield streets are in the best shape they have been in many months as a result of the SERA program which has just been brought to a close. For each dollar the city expended two dollars in labor was furnished. It is false economy not to keep up the city streets. Streets are like bad teeth; the longer they go the more it costs to fix them and eventually they have to be rebuilt. -----------«----------- If there is one person whom we dislike more than any­ one else it is the fellow who insists on living his life to suit himself but at the same time endeavors to tell us just what our conduct should -----------<---------- be. - The state is taking out fire insurance of its $400,000 liquor stock.

POINDEXTER Pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, »pringfleld, Oregon C A L IF O R N IA through on low summer roundtrips “THE WORSHIP OF A CHRISTIAN” (Matthew 6:1-18) Jesus is saying that when we let our light shine before uen by our good deeds we should not yield to the tempta- ion to show off. By so doing we not only become hypo- rites but if we seek a reward of applause we would not e satisfied with any other kind. God does not parade hlm- elf in sending rain upon just and unjust. Therefore be ot conscious of your own goodness in your charity and let o one else praise you lest you lose your pure motive of jrvice to the needy. Be a partner with God in helping men. >f all vices avoid parading your goodness in prayer. The harisee was careful to be in a public place when the hour f prayer struck. The reward which comes from that kind f praying is ruinous to you. Neither is prayer an oppor- tnity to preach something you dare not say otherwise, iuch noise and many words are no real help to you and ley do not please God. The model prayer given us by Jesus in verses 9 to 13 ortrays an attitude on the part of the worshiper. The ords our, us and we appeear instead of I, me. and mine.
