B. Taylor of Adams, chairman of the state USDA war board, an nounced this week. The schedule of events agreed upon by the cooperating agencies in Oregon will carry through January 12, which has been proclaimed “farm mobiliza tion day” by President Roosevelt. The Hi s president declared that foo dis no less a weapon than tanks, guns, and planes, and that its importance in creases as the power of the enemy de creases. Establishment of county production goals will be the first step in Oregon. Teams composed of representatives of the state war board, the Extension service and the state AAA office will meet with war boards and farm lead ers in each county to determine the best contributions that each county's farm plan can make to the Food-for- Fredom program.

Member THE LIGHT OF THE AGES It is now nearly 2000 years since the birth of Christ, and yet we are fiercely engaged in the great est war of all time. To what extent this fearful phys ical carnage may finally result in a spiritual uplift of the nations of the world w ill be largely determin ed by the terms of the peace. Julius Caesar fought for Sicily and control of the Mediterranean against the Carthagenians on the same bloody Tunisian fields where now the Axis and Allies contend. A few leagues to the north then arose the star of Bethlehem. Much has happened since those days. The conclusions we may draw from those events, and the logic of the years, can only be refuted by an abiding faith in the success of the teachings of the Prince of Peace. All that we can cling to is faith in man’s high ultimate destiny and the final adoption of the principles of the Great Teacher. Through the long travail of years, Christendom has grown to acceptance by the one-third of the peo ples of the .earth and is the controlling influence of the entire world. Bhuddistic rites with their de pressing effects claim the devotion of over 300,000,- 000. Mohammedism holds 200.000,000 and Shinto ism of Japan and other strange cults still supply rites and ritualisms for the rest of the human family. Confucism, which is more of a philosophy than a religion, is sound and the great leaders of China are Christian and adopting the Christian ways of life. Except for a temporary departure from God in Rus sia and the efforts of Naziism to destroy the God of the fathers of Germany, Europe is still in the land of our Christendom. England and its possessions, America, North and South, Africa and the Dutch Netherlands, Australia and the South Seas where missionaries and commerce have carried the gospel, all belong to the same family we call Christendom, and its powerful influences. During the twenty centuries Carthage was buried beneath the dust. Greece, with its magnificant cul ture, philosophy, art, architecture, literature, sculp ture and democracy faded to ruins. Rome, with its laws, literature and power became only historic rec ord. The Arabian empire was reduced to tribal bed ouins, and for 1500 years the Dark Ages enveloped the world. All that maintained the spiritual life of the people were priests and monastaries and these opened the gateways of the renaissance and the tre mendous achievements of the last 500 years. Had Paul received the call to go to Asia instead of Mace- donia, Europe and the Western World might still have been the dark continent instead of Asia. The mystery of it all is confounding, but God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform. All this is history and, as confusing as it may be, the lights of Christendom still shine as brightly as did the star over the manger. Under tht light and the lights of history and experience, we now face the greatest problem of time—that of making the peace. This will require the best wisdom and the loftiest purposes and the noblest spiritual force that can be found in all the allied nations. Let us hope that by the employment of all that is good and great in the leaders of our time a peace that is final may be attained. And this cannot be secured unless the spirit of the Prince of Peace sits at the countil table. 1943 CAMPAIGN FOR MORE WAR FOOD TO BEGIN To Wishing you all the joys and blessings of this holy Christmas season of 1942 The Temple Cafe « TURKEYS, POULTRY & EGGS Northwest Poultry & Dairy Products Co. 232 S.
