SAYS PASTOR OF PURE WATER Government Now Passing Out Near $2,000000 Monthly In 21 States 8 States Wait Approval. Br Kathan Robert Hn Aasoelsted Pleu Stuff Writer WASHINGTON, March 24, yP) oelal security board figures showed today the new deal'a system of old ags pensions for the needy la rapldl7 spreading through the nation. The federal government la now passing out about 3,000,000 a month for grants to almost a quarter of a million people In 21 states and the District of Columbia. Plans for ex tending the pensions to eight addi tional states await board approval. These figures Indicate that as soon as) all states have come into the sys tem, the government will be appro priating more than H 00 ,000,000 an nuallymatched by equal state funds tor penalona to more than 1,000.000 people over 86 years of age. Federal offletala expressed hope It will go far towarda earing for the estimated 1. (00,000 needy unemploysbles. Gives Clear Picture Today's figures, prepared aa a baala for next year's budget estimates, gave the first clear picture of the opera tions of the federal-state old age pen sion systems, one of the three major features of the social security law en acted at the last session. It showed the cost of ths plan run ning close to the estimates submitted to congress by the experts when the law waa under debate, and far Deiow anm nnnffreMlonal estlmatea. The figures available to the board on the sire of pensions petng pain ay the states Indies ted the pensions were tunning from 10 to 30 a month, with an average of 17.60, or some what lower than bad been forecast by the sxperts. Average To Grow This average probably will be raised, however, when the big Industrial states come Into the plan. New York, which has psld the highest state pen alona In the past, has not yet quail fled. Hera Is the present status of the program: Plana have been approved In 21 atates and the Wstrlot of Columbia, covering 233,918 persons, with a monthly outlay of 13,028,402, half contributed by the federal govern ment. Plana are pending approval for eight statea covering an estimated 281 ,700 Individuals, at a monthly cost of 84.736.430, half to be paid by the government. If the other IB states average about the same as those now approved or pending, the ploture for the entire country will be: Total pensioners 1,082,000. Oost per month 818,718,000, hslf Mid by federal government. Ooet per year 8224.867.OO0, half Mid by federal government. Monthly pension average 817.80. Board officials believe these aver ages will be raised somewhat by the additional statea. because those still ewtslds the system Include New York, Pennsylvania, and California, Oregon Approved plans which have been approved an In Alabama, Connecticut, Dele wan, District of Columbia, Idaho, Iowa, Mains, Msrylsnd Michigan, Mis sissippi. Missouri. Nebraska. New Hampshire. New Mexico. North Dako ta, Oregon, Rhode Mend, Utsh, Ver mont, Wsahlngton, Wisconsin snd Wyoming. States which have plans pending an Oolorsdo, Florida, Illinois, Kan ass. Massachusetts. Minnesota,. Mon tana, and Ohio. Virtually all of the ststee where plans hsve been approved have 880 a month aa the maximum monthly pensions, but they sre based upon the degree of need and In most states average far below that figure. Under the law the federal government will pay up to 816 a month If It Is mstch d by the state. Ixperts testifying before congres sional committee when ths program was under consideration credited the old age grant system would cover 1. 048.000 persona In 1:'7 at a cost to tbe federal government of 8131.800. 000.

Weatnerford. Church of the Nasar- ene paator-wangelist, spoke on "The Cross Unravels the Mystery of God Wrath and Mercy." "Christ," aald the pastor, "taught the unfolding mystery of His blood when he said Matt. 26 :38, This la my blood of the New Testament, which la shed for many for the re mission of sin.' The teaching of the New Testament throughout is that man In his natural state Is a sin ner, alienated from God. and that the work of Christ la to reconclll ate God and man. In 2nd Cor. 6:19 we take these words: 'God waa in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself.' 'The wrath and mercy of God seem to be lrreconcll table attributes. On the other hand Justice would seem to be the Infliction of the penalty while on the other hand mercy would remit the penalty. But the Cross of Christ Is the meeting place and harmonising center of the Lawa of God, which would otherwise seem lrreconcl liable. The Cross of Christ Is the fundamental focus In the fulfilling of God's law. Read Rom. 3:31-28. The Grace of God la the ma terial fact that lies back of tbe cross. The blood la the tangible evi dence, and the Irrefutable fact of the love of God for a lost world. The nail-pierced hands and the bleeding heart of Jesua removes all doubt as to God 'a forgiving grace, 'and become the faith ground of assurance for our forgiveness. "All sinning today la a recrimin ation and a recruclflxlon of Christ. A refusal to confess Christ morally means an Identification with that crowd who cried 'Away with Him.' 'The Invitation of the Cross to day Is an Incomparable, though si lent eloquence that opens to us a door, lighted with the Immortal glow of heaven. It la the voice of God, opening to us the gate of a glorious eternity. It is the Cross that turns our boldest speech Into silence, as we weep there In peni tence for the hand of mercy to lift us out of our sins." Dr. Dafoe Chooses Quints Costumes LONDON, Ont.. March 24.

Bill Barnum, Medford high school graduate and former editor of the Crater, school year book, who la now attending dental college In Portland, addressed the following communica tion to the Oregon Journal. The let ter, emphasizing the value of pure water such as la available In this city, was printed March 20 on the edi torial page. Barnum la the son of Mrs. E. N. Eldrldge of this city. The letter Is reproduced here: Pure Water's Paramount Place (This Point Stressed In Comment on an Editorial of the Journal on Car- vallts' System; Other Oregon Cities Likewise Fortunate). PORTLAND, March 17. To the Edi tor of the Journal I would like to comment on your recent editorial en titled "Its Wonderful Water 8upply." I would like to extend my congratu lations to CorvallU on Its new mu nicipal water system. The new mod ern water system of the college city Is something the cltlrns should be proud to own. Oregon la Indeed for tunate In having good water systems throughout the state. Medford at one time experienced practically the same condition as Corvallls. A num ber of years ago. before over 30 miles of pipe had been laid from a moun stream or spring', Medford citizens had to boll their water before using It. Now, Medford, too has one of the very best water supplies on the coast. It Is commonly known as "Medford's million dollar water." it Is a mu nicipal system, the same as Corvallls. Although It la not so new as that of Corvallls, Medford Is probably just as proud of Its system as Corvallls Is of Its system. Water la the most Important thing the human being requires. It Is the most Imperative of all the Individual wants of man. Clean, pure, cold spring water, aa these two cities now have It. is a big asset to any city. Tourists remember cities for their good water supply. While It Is Im portant to a city as a whole, It Is most Important to everyday life. A i city the size of Medford or Corvallls i la Indeed fortunate In having a fine I water system. W. L. Barnum. LAWNMOWERS sharpened. We call for and deliver. 33 N. Fir St. SIMS BROS Phone 361.
