H. Brundage of the U. S. Forest service, who recently delivered the first of a series of forest fire radio alks from Portland over KEX. The Tillamook Are, which in 1933 destroyed 12 billion feet of imber and burned over 325,000 acres is the largest single fire of record, stated the forester. "How ever, the annual average loss of 200,000 acres is devastating timber land at an alarming rate." Brundage showed what this ap palling loss from fires each year Jneans to the sportsman, the recre ationist, and the lover of birds and wild life. "Thousands of acres of recreational paradise have been turned into blackened wastes of snags and flreweed," said the for est official, "repelling eastern tour ists who are willing to pay for en joyment of this beautiful country. Brundage stressed the fact that half the land of Oregon cannot grow any other crop than timber and that so long as timber lasts, roughly half the population will prosper. "The main roots of our economic tree," he stated, "are two in number agriculture and tim ber. If we burn our timber and our logged off land so that It cannot grow a second crop, one of our economic roots will eventually die and with It will die the tree branches which are the trades, pro fessions and business depending on timber payrolls. "The annual toll from fires will not be reduced," said Brundage, until you as a citizen help to cre ate a public opinion so strong that it will not be pleasant or healthy' for anybody in Oregon to be care less with Are in the woods.1 NOTICE OF SHERIFF'S SALE.

BftUCf BARTOM rirltes of "THIW4STER EXECUTIVE" Supplying a mk--wcdi maptratKM The New Testament The first books of the New Tes tament "read In churches" with the Old Testament selections, were apostolic letters, notably those of Paul, and includng generally, tho not invariably, the longer epistles of John, Peter and James. When the Gospels appeared they were immediately used in like fashon. and at once assumed a place of pri ority, not because any one in auth ority said it must be so but because they were so important and so In teresting. For a good while there was no attempt to make complete collections. Few churches had all the New Testament books and many had other, books, as the Epis tle of Clement and the Shepherd of Hemas, which were loved. When discussion began as to which books ought to be read reg ularly, there was immediate agree ment on the most important ones, the four Gospels and the larger epistles. There was a good deal of doubt about Revelation and Sec ond Peter and the two short epis tles of John, which were relatively unimportant, as was then acknow ledged and is still evident. But gradually there came to be agree ment, not by authority but by the test of general usage, and the translation, and later the printing of the Bible, finally fixed the list If any one asks whether we know absolutely that every book In the Old and New Testaments Is holy TODAY and on " FRANK PARKER ST0CKBRID6E PRAYER . . a boy's life Almost the whole population of a little New England village met in the old white-painted church one night last week to pray for the life of a little hoy. Our doctor's seven- year-old son had been five weeks in the hospital at the county seat Word had come that the specialists had given up hope. "Can't anything be done?" some one asked. "The child Is in the hands of God," was all the doctor could say. "Then let's try God," said Mr. White, the minister. Ora Dubois, at the telephone ex change, called up everybody on the farmers' lines. "Come to the church tonight, to pray for Billy Persing!" By word of mouth the call ran through the village. That night the church was crowded, and no more fervent prayers ever rose to the Throne of Grace than went up from that little country town. Next morning good news came from the hospital. The boy seemed better. Next day they said he had a chance. The third day, a decid ed improvement. Another day out of danger! . Do our New England folk still believe in the power of prayer? We hear much of the decline of the ancient faith of our fathers. It is still a living force, up here in Berkshire. FAITH today I know a surprisingly large num ber of people who tell me that they have round courage to face the eco nomic disasters that have befallen them, and peace of mind such as they have never known In prosper ous times, through a renewal of their faith in Divine Providence. Not only are the congregations lar ger in the churches of all sects, but non-sectarian groups and cults are drawing greater numbers to hear the simpler Gospel message. I saw hundreds turned away for lack of room, not long ago; at one of the triweekly religous meetings In the grand ballroom of one of New York's largest hotels. I know one woman who draws hundreds to hear her "lnsplratonal" talks on Friday afternoons. These people are seeking help to adjust their mnds and spirits to the realities of life. Many of them are succeeding, and they are the only really happy people I know. QUALITY or price? Mario Raspuzzi was cutting the hay on my lower meadow the other day, when the tongue of the mower broke off. The oak shaft had rot ted at the bolt-holes. I called up the hardware store in Great Bar rington, eight miles awav. and found they had a tongue in stock ror tnat make of machine, already bored for the bolts. When ,Maro brought back the new tongue, however, Instead of be ing oak or ash, which is better- It proved to be just a stick of Ore gon pine. "That's all they're making 'em of now," the dealer explained, when I "squawked" over the telephone. "Quality doesn't count any more only price. Farmers want cheap 8 Sets 2-S I , U b i He, if sj & m ; 5 - : i -I?!?! it s Js hi f m a a p a a a 1 s . far tfce hcav-6r4a4 wfco will fad at -me Mu naaoay fcow. above all other books, the answer Is, We do not. No one can say that Esther, which Is in the Bible, is nobler than Ecclesiasticus, which has been dropped out; certainly it is not so religious or so sweet in Its spirit No one can say that the Epistle of Jude is more inspired than the Epistle of Clement The mountain range of the Bible shades off into foot-hills, and we do not know just where the range begins or ends. But the range is there, towering magnificently above all other literature. Scholars may discuss its measurements and lim its; the. theologically minded may battle over its "Inspiration." Let them argue. What the world needs is more folk to read. We come now to the second ques tion, How were these chosen books preserved through the ages and passed down to us? Until the invention of printing, which was desired mainly that the Bible might be published, copies were made by hand, and errors in evitably crept in, no matter how scrupulous the copyists' care. Hence in making translations it became desirable to have as many of them for comparison as possible. The earliest manuscript copies that have survived to our time date from the fourth century A. D., and the story of one of them, the Sinaitic, will illustrate the vicissitudes through which they have passed. Next Week: An Important Trans lation. goods and I'm telling you, they're getting 'em! That tongue'll last you two three years, anyway." The old. one had seen 20 years of service. I've been wondering ever since, whether most of the goods we buy these days aren't in the same class as that new mower-tongue made to sell cheap and wear out quickly. YOUTH .... experience Whenever I hear someone declar ing that there is one sure way to set everything right, my first in quiry is: "How old are you?" The surer he is that he has discovered the panacea, the younger he is likely to turn out to be. As one gets older, he is not so sure that the world needs a com plete remodeling, nor that it would be the better for being "done over," even If that were possible. I am constantly being reminded of a remark of Dr. Benjamin Jow ett, the famous "Master of Balliol,'" to one of his graduating classes at Oxford. Even the youngest of you," he said, "is not infallible." POLITICS ; . . . this fall The Presidential Campaign of 1936 is already under way. The preliminary skirmishes will be at the "odd-year" elections this Fall. On the outcome of such village, town ana county elections the na tional elections may possibly hinge next year. All other things being equal, the party that has the best and most far-reaching organization stands the better chance of victory. Party organization must begin at me gass-roots.
