HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1933. PAGE THREE Ambition . . . Serge had it When I hear farmers talking as if they were all headed for the poorhouse I flhlnk of mv neighbor, Serge Katorsky. Serge came over from Russia Just before the war, because he had five children and wanted to give them a ahance. He had about three hundred dollars to start with. He bought a couple of hundred acres of cheap mountain land about five miles from my farm, and start ed to work. He repaired the tumble-down old house, and in these twenty years has so Improved it that it is the most comfortable farm-house I have ever seen. There are eleven children now, seven of them through high school, two through college, three of the girls finishing up in the State Normal School. And what marks those Katorsky kids do get in school! Serge started with some scrub cows but has bred up his dairy herd until it's one of the best in the dis trict. They grow or raise practic ally all they eat, and they certainly live well. Serge Katorsky had the two es sentials for successful living, in dustry and ambition. With those a man can get almost anywhere. Colors . . . have a care If you take your automobile with you on your tour of the world, be sure the color is one that won't of fend the people of any particular nation. In Finland they don't per mit cars or anything else to be painted red. Red is the color of Communism, and the Finns are scary about their communistic neighbors next door in Russia. One American got into trouble in Java with a light cream-colored car. White and cream are mourn ing colors in the Dutch East In dies, and are permitted only on hearses. A yellow car is an of fense in China, for the same rea son. You don't want to take a green car to either England or India. In England there is a popular super stition that green is an unlucky color. Books and plays have been written about girls who wore green stockings, with the result they nev er could get a man to marry them! And in India green is reserved for the use of pious Mohammedans who have made the pilgrimage to' Mecca and so are entitled to wear the green turban. Better play safe if you're really going and take a plain black or dark blue car with you on your world tour. First two more My friend Joe Kane has written a book to tell who was the first to do or make many things in com mon use. It's an interesting book, called "Famous First Facts," but I ran across a couple of "firsts" the other day that Joe hasn't got In his book. The first white bread was made by an English miller, Huge Pad dlngton, because a nobleman in his town wanted bread to match his white table-linen! That was news to me when Frank Romer told me. And the first paved street in America was in down-town New York. It is named, appropriately, Stone Street A Dutch brewer's wife in 1648 got tired of having her husband's drays mired in the mud, so she had her servants lay cobble-stones the whole length of the street. Bunk grain alcohol Interesting, if not important! We heard a lot, last year, about a scheme to convert surplus grain into alcohol. The idea was to save the farmer by requiring every gal lon of gasoline to be mixed with a certain portion of grain alcohol. The fuel research committee of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce comes along now and punctures, the balloon. The gasoline-alcohol mixture, it finds, while it enables the motor to accelerate faster, makes starting harder, ab sorbs moisture from the air, cor rodes engine and fuel pipe lines and costs much more than straight gas oline. Besides, alcohol of higher quality can be produced from pe troleum more cheaply than the poorer quality obtainable from grain. Some day motors doubtless will be run by alcohol, but they will be built for alcohol use alone and used only where and when the gasoline supply has given out. Steam inexpensive Driving through a Northern in dustrial city with an engineer friend I saw a curious piece of construction under way. It looked just as If a huge steam engine were being built out of doors. "That's just what it is," my friend told me. "That's the newest idea in large steam plant3 for generat ing electric power. What sense is there in putting up an expensive building just to house a steam en gine? It's cheaper to protect the equipment with asbestos, against cold weather, and put Just enough of a roof over it to keep the snow off. Then, when you have to en large the plant, you don't have to tear out a heavy brick wall and build an expensive extension. Be sides, nobody ever yet found a way to keep a boiler-room clean enough to guard against dust explosions without hiring a lot of extra help." That sounded reasonable. It also interested me when the engineer told me that the new type of mer cury boilers, like the one I saw, could generate steam so cheaply that they can produce electrical energy at far less cost that the cheapest waterpower.

Our postofflce was Ella, six or eight miles west of Wells Springs. The first school we attended was at the head of Juniner cam In a very small cabin. Although I was a smau cnna, as l remember, It couldn't have been more than 8x10 feet, without a floor. Our seats were logs split In two, with peg legs, no oesKs. uur teacher was Mr. Fernel, a nice old gentleman, whose school bell was "Ct YobI" Wo carried pencils two or three inches icng wnicn ne passed around for us to use, and collected them again. We afterwards had a new school house just on the hill west of the Mills place, where the artesian well now is. There were quite a few Indians at that time. We had several In dian scares. One time the whole neiehbohood fled west of miia office (probably down Willow creek) ana neia a tort there; were gone three days, as we heard the TnHinna were on the warpath and were go ing iu cross me Columbia at Uma tilla. Later they often camped at Wells Serines. One iims fothor. ,was hauling water from there when an naian roae up and exclaimed, "Hiu! Indians murder vnn" An father looked up there came fifty in a band about a quarter of a mile away. He put a little water in each barrel and tried to appear calm, until he was over the hill out of sight. Our neighbors were the Von Cleves, Millses, Kanes. Mr. Chat man lived at Wells Springs. There was a large family of the Millses. Ethel, the oldest e-irl car Cusic. Besides those children there were the Bramble hnva rh.r. ley, Walter and their brother; Char ley and Ed Lieuallen, Rosa Deos. Also I remember the names of Lute and faadie Handy near the post offlce.

While in the middle west he Jour neyed on to Chicago and took In the world's fair.

BENTON, Minister. Bible School . 9:45 A lit. 11 o'clock 7:00 P, M. Morning WorshlD Kninr nrt Junior C. V. Evening Worship ". 8:00 o'clock: Church Night Thursday at &;00 P- . Live In the Open "For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and hid that shall not be known." Matt. 10-26. How many things are said and done in secret that we should not dare say or do openly. And they are the real key notes of character. What we do and say before men, in the open, does not count, against this secret living, this secret say ing and doing. And yet God sees and knows ev ery hidden act, and hears every carefully whispered word. All this life behind the scenes of publicity is most surely recorded In eternity. And some day the Book of Record ing is to be opened, to our glory or to our shame. What a vast difference it would make If this TRUTH were to be come a predominant truth in our lives; and if we were to keep it ever before us. No hidden life, but always in the open. Kings and queens and other noted folks have little or no pri vacy. Well, God has made His followers Kings and Queens by Di vine right, to live royal lives; and a royal life neither needs or wants privacy. A royal life belongs to the world. Let us, by the grace of God, live the lives that can be LIVED IN THE OPEN, respected by all men, approved of God. For the coming Lord's Day the sermon topics are: For the morn ing service, "Asleep;" and for the evening service, "How to Believe." If you have not a Church home we invite you to come and worship with us. Here you will find a live, interesting Bible school with a class for YOU; here you will find plain, simple worship in the Church services with the preaching of the Gospel untempered with any of the tenets of men.
