O.. twin sons, A Word To Contributors And Correspondents It is the desire of this newspaper to publish the contributions of subscribers and correspond ents, but due to the conditions under which we find we must operate it is expedient to ask that articles be curtailed. When stories of consider able length come to the desk it Is necessary to edit them to use the shears, in other words. This takes time that should be used in preparing our own copy. We may often cut things out that seem important to the contributor and this is done mainly because of a shortage of space and an effort is made to trim without losing the trend of the story. We are sorry that we cannot give space for detailed accounts of games, social functions and the like, but we are more than pleased to have reports on these affairs and want them to con tinue coming in. Make them terse give the high lights without lengthy detail. The average reader has imagination enuogh to fill in between the lines, and really prefers to do that very thing. Until such time as. we can secure, and, we hope, keep a linotype operator, it will be neces sary to keep the paper down to a size that a lim. ited staff can produce. To cover the news in gen eral, a limititation will have to be placed on con. tributed items and correspondence. 30 Years Ago Thursday, October 7, 1920 Mrs. Albert Osmin of this city died at the hospital in Ontario Sunday, Oct. 3 from apoplexy.

The oAmerican Way THE IMMORTAL LAW BOOK By George Peck At this time when the entire world is engaged in a struggle between Godless Communism and Capitalistic Christianity TENTH NATIONAL BIBLE WEEK, which is to be observed October 16-22, takes on a special significance. For the Bible is the Law Book of fredom-loving peoples. The Holy Bible is tne corner stone on which America was built. In the Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinth ians 3:17 we read: "... where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is Liberty." That is the precept on which the Founding Fathers fashioned our great Constitution, under which this nation has scal ed the heights. In the Second Epistle of Peter 2:19 is prophesied what has hap pened to the unfortunate peoples of the world, who voluntarily or involuntarily have fallen into the clutches of the monsters of the Kremlin: "While they promised them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage." In March, 1940, recognizing the need of reawakening our citizen ry to a realization of the fact that "America was founded on man's consciousness of God, man's dai ly labor and the friuts there from," a small group of laymen of all faiths founded the Lay men's National Committee. This group knew that this land of freedom could not have come in to being without a consciousness of God; that America cannot en dure if this consciousness be lost. For the past ten years the Lay men's National Committee has sponsored National Bible Week. It believes that of all the guides to a better civilization, the oldest is still the best THE BIBLE the book that inspires, comforts and challenges all who have the wis dom to turn to it. It further be lieves that if more people make Bible reading a habit, justice, un derstanding and peace will pre vail. The Committee recommends that you read your Bible daily and that you go regularly to the church of your choice. Above all. it exhorts you to leave no stone unturned in safeguarding Charles Jr. and Cliff Wentworth, both of Wichita, Kas.; live granu children, and a sister, Miss Eva Wentworth .retired Pasadena school teacher. Mr. Wentworth was a brother, in-law of L. E. Bisbce and had numerous acquaintances among the older residents of Heppner. Need 0ice Stationery?

General Omar Bradley has warned us that ''The greatest of threats from Communism is di rected to our spiritual freedom.' The subjugated peoples of Po land and the other countries Rus sia has grabbed, who have lost their freedom to worship, were they able to speak, would advise us to heed General Bradley's warning. - It is the hope of the Laymen's gotten the treasures that lie be National Committee that mill ions of Americans who have for tween the covers of the Good Book, will take It off the shtff, dust It off and browse through It during National Bible Week.
