Mice Control Test
Unexpected Success
John Wightman's Blue mount
ain ranch was the scene last
week of what the county agent
has described as a surprisingly
successful mouse control experi
ment. Long bothered by hordes
of meadow mice, which damage
creek bottom pastures, alfalfa,
and dry land crops, as well as j could detect no activity during
'meadows, Wightman asked Coun
ty Agent Nelson Anderson to test
the effectiveness of zinc-phosphide
poisoned oats on two check
plots in his fields
Two days after the poisoned
feed was spread, no live mice
were found on the two check
plots. Wightman, who told An
derson he had been shooting mice
with a 22 caliber rifle, said he

son said he had not expected the
poison to be very successful be
cause of the wide choice of feeds
now accessible to the rodents.
Harold Dobyns, district agent
for the state fish and wildlife
service will work with Anderson

of mice control demonstrations

oals. The fish and wildlife service

The oAmerican Way
. HOW TO BEAT COMMUNISM
By Dr. Norman Vincent Peal.
(Editor's Note: Dr. Peale is min
ister of historic Marble Colleg
iate Church on Fifth Avenue.
New York City; and author of
the current best seller, "A Guide
to Confident Living.")
There was a book written re
cently called "You Can Change
the World," by James Keller. The
author has founded an organiza
tion known as the "Christophers'
it is a Catholic organization.
We need Its equivalent in the
Proestant Church, and I am all
for starting It The word "Chris
topher" means "Christ Bearer."
You join the "Christophers" and
you automatically have a job.
That job is to apply the artifices
of the Communists, except that
you do it with an honesty which
they do not employ.
A Communist, for example,
went to work In an office In New
York City. Within three weeks he
succeeded In completely disrupt
ing this office by pitting people
against each other. There was a
little stenographer in that office,
who said to herself, "I am going
to see what I can do by dissemin
ating the spirit of Christ in this
office." She started to pray and
say nice things about people.
Gradually she won one, and then
another, until after a while the
whole atmosphere of the office
changed When the Communist
tried by devious tricks to throw
the office into conflict again, he
was met with a resistance that
amazed and bewildered him.
The technique of the "Christo
pher" is to go Into a social group,
and if anyone starts talking in
an unkind manner against other
people, his duty is to inject ideas
of love and kindliness by word
and by prayer.
The "Christophers" realize that
the way to control people is to
control their ideas. If you can
control the ideas of a man you
can control the man himself.
That is exactly what the Com
munists are trying to do, to con-
Mrs. A. A. Scouten and children
motored to Portland Thursday

Mrs. John Scouten, there to take

who was returning to his home
In Beaverton after spending the
summer here with the Scoutens.
great humanitarian ideals to cov-
trol our ideas. They enunciate
er destructive and vicious pro
fcedures. They attempt to confuse
our minds so that we begin to
have doubts about God, about is
democracy, about freedom, about i
goodness and about decency. j
I wish that every reader of this EE
.column would pledge himself to ; EE
go Into every group, beginning :
with his own family, and think I EE
Jesus Christ, talk Jesus Christ, !s
pray Jesus Christ; then move into ;EE
the Labor Unions and think, talk ;
and pray Jesus Christ, then enter j EE
into every Industrial establish-! Ej
ment in the land and think, talk EE
and pray Jesus Christ; move into EE
every place In society, to destroy Ej
everything that is threatening the 1
freedom of this land, until this ! s
country is filled with the spirit EE
ot Jesus Christ. Then we will EE
drive Communism so far from i EE
these shores that we will never! EE
hear of It again. It is the only j
way to do it. It is the only way i EE
to establish a world in which we EE
can have confidence. EE
We are a great, tolerant, won- j s
derful people, but we have to put !
against the virus of the Com-! s
munists' ideas of destruction, the ' EE
health and ideas which are in
Jesus Christ.
Do not think I am trying to I EE
drag a "red herring" into this EE
article. The "red herring" busi- Ej
ness has been greatly overwork- s
ed. Communism is very weak in
the United States at the present !
time, but it can become stronger; j 5
never forget that But against it Ej
tve still have the great power of ; EE
the ideas of Christ, so that we can Ej
develop a confidence in the fu- EE
ture.
The best blueprint for confident Ej
living is to put one's problems in
the hands of God, rest them there, EE
and trust Him to give the an. EE

hold any other idea in the mind j Ej
than that you can help devejop Ej

great, free world.
