Sprague editor of the Oregon Statesman, Salem, wrote copy for his nationally quoted daily column last week from Hawaii where he and Mrs. Sprague are sojourning. Reading this column it seems they have located a working model of a basic enigma that is slowing the pace of Christian progress to ward unanmity, the master key to universal peace. Let's have it from the former governor of Oregon who served several sessions in the United Nations assembly. "We arrived at Kona, once the home of Hawaiian royalty, in the late afternoon. At the vesper hour came the sounds of chimes from the church, playing famil PONY KICKS By Merry Stewart Mrs. Blanche Boulden was ab sent from her seventh grade classes Monday. Mrs. W. W.

It was a touching experience to hear at this dis tant point the testimony of an old faith carried with devotion to the inhabitants of those is lands over a century ago. "I observe, however, that the earliest missionaries US23) have been followed by.the same vari eties of sects as we have on the mainland. It must be difficult to explain to non-Christians why those who profess it are split into so many factions. It must seem to them like re ligious liberty going to seed." Mr. Sprague's column never better than when he travels Dosts a signal for the faith. alarmincrlv. when we recall the vears it took us to decide to vary our idolatry and put "In God We Trust" on our real idol.

McKay talks of leaving i Smith who has a record of J Washington and his job as Soc- maKing low wrong political prog nostications. The 1053 session established I ?n all time record for boosting , income and other taxes. The voting record of members of that body will be fine-combed before November. j We have seen a good many 'early starts" for legislative ses sions but never any as early as the prosent. Plans of the legis lative council committee call for I drafting all routine appropria tion bills, ready for introduction ! before the convening of the 1957 ' legislature. i i Candidates nominated by their , parties at the May 18 primary; election will have no assurance that they will not have other op ponents than those nominated Other candidates can be placed on the November ballot by the convention plan. It has seldom been resorted to, however. In 1934 Perot Zimmerman was nomi nated for governor by a conven tion held in the old Capitol. He got 8596 more votes than the Re publican candidate but the GOP strategist saw to it that there were hree other independent can didates running, who split Zim merman's vote down to where Gen. Martin, Democrat, beat out Zimmerman by 5 per cent of the total vote. Peter W. Welch will have his name on the Republican ticket in two places, for congress from the 3rd Dist., and for the Na tional Republican convention. Welch said he would nominate Douglas McKay for vice presi- retary of the Interior when his four-year term expires Jan. 20. SEND FOR JACKUN'S SEED PRICE LIST Now available.
