Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, September 1, 1949 Page 3 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 FEEDERS At the site of the burned elevator at Heppner we have for sale WHILE IT LASTS BLOCK SALT lc Pound BROKEN SALT BLOCKS .

The fish and wildlife service will make the oats available at cost to farmers who wish to use them. o Insurance Dividend Forms Available To Eligible Vets Application forms for the spe cial G.

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.

They were accompanied by Bud Terry 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-!
