in the danger of developing ev-

Prof. Laurence E. Morehead,

ut he is only one of an in-

Ittended the recent national

Stan Gallup is notable among
e men who lead in the Korth-
lastern Retail Lumbermen's as-

Reedsport, lumber-town jewel
jf Winchester Bay, on the Ore
Jon coast.
The Reedsport Baptist church
had Just 46 members when
young, personable and eloquent
Grayden Loree began his min
istry there in 1948. Now its
members number 143. There
have been 82 baptisms during
the Loree pastorate. On the
purely practical side of the rec
ord the church's budget has
grown handsomely, from an an
nual $5,253 to $12,475.
And the "Men at Work" flag
has been out right regularly. A
ichurch plant, but partly built in
1948. has been completed, from
inside wiring to outside paint.
a parsonage has been acquired
and touched up might be a
manse some day.
Oregon Homa Mission ...
True to the tradition of the
pioneer missionaries of Oregon,
the Rev. Loree faced up to needs
for religious programs beyond
Jiis own pastorate. So part of
I She work of the Reedsport Bap
jtist church members became the
Ustablishment of a mission en
terprise 25 miles away in the
toastal hills. Boys' work was
promoted through the open and
(active secular medium of scout
ting. I So the American Baptist Con
Ivention, after surveys of work
Irione in "Town and Country
Churches" during 1955,' gave
ne of three awards to Reeds
lort's Grayden D. Loree. A
econd winner was the Rev. Lor
nz p. Michelson, pastor of the
Japtist church at Cashmere,
Vash. The third award was to
he Rev. Roy E. Jones. First
laptist Church, Olathe, Colo.
The achievements of the three
rural church" ministers meant
nuch to Stan Gallup because
hey represent talent, thought
nd time given by church men.
t is Stan's responsibility, as
big chief of Baptist men. to per
i"iade them to give of their ab
ilities and skills, to offer heads
and hands as well as dollar
pledges to their local church
bnd to church organizations.
I He is powerfully persuasive
because Baptist men look at
him, listen and are quickly con
kinced that here is a happy
tnan, this Stan Gallup, happy in
his faith and his works.

Larga Gill Systam
"In middle age the sea squirt
settles down and attaches him
self to a rock or piling and de
velops a large gill system
through which he allows food
rich water to pass. His well
muscled tail gradually sloughs
away, and he remains a mass of
flacdidity."
Consider the remotest origins
of living things, said Morehead
in a scientific lecture. When
life could move about to get
more and better food, animal
life emerged from vegetable
life. But these newly acquired
"organs of locomotion" requir
ed bodies capable of supporting
them.

lup was mainly interested in
saving souls by rigging up new
ways to put Baptist laymen to
work on the theme of the con
vention, "I Will . Build My

Spiritual building was the
heart of the matter. But Stan
talked well and at length on
the building of new church ed
ifices in the Northeast, with
Douglas fir timbers and dim
ension basic in most of them.
And he preached with a punch
on the need for renewal of pop

New Wheal Export
Plan to Continue
Washington (U.R) The Ag
riculture Department said Friday
the wheat export program un
der the new international wheat
agreement will continue even
though, the agreement has not
been ratified by a sufficient
number of participating coun
tries. The present wheat agreement
expires July 31. A new one was
drafted several months ago and
was submitted to participating
countries for ratification.
In the expectation that the
agreement would be ratified by
Aug. 1, the department said, it
will make sales of wheat during
the remainder of June and July
for export after Aug. 1.
QUICK RAISE
Waterbury, Conn. (U.R)
Mrs. Marcia W. Ford, the new
secretary to the city's director of
administration, received a pay
increase before she was official
ly hired. Board of finance mem
bers couldn't find any salary
bracket under civil service rules
which paid S3, 000, the amount
for which Mrs. Ford was en
gaged. The board confirmed her
appointment at the salary closest
to that amount S3, 032.
Their bodies were intricate, co
ordinated muscular, nervous,
and chemical systems each de
pendent on the others. And all
depended upon use exercise.
The trouble with the soft-living
to which the American hu
man beings have now fallen heir
is that it results in a "dishar
mony" of bodily function. More
head said. "Hard muscular
work attended by a violent ex
penditure of energy" no long
er raise "bodily functions to
support higher levels of activ
ity." Emotions, however, ele
vate bodily functions.
There is nothing for the ele
vated functions to support and
"disorganization" follows.
"If this disorganization is al
lowed to continue, the over-ac
tive autonomic discharges will
predispose to circulatory and di
gestive disorders," he continued.
"Thus, the very constitutional
endowments which made man a
robust animal in the savage
state may contribute to his de
terioration and destruction in
the civilized state.
Gradual Extinction
Perhaps the climate of a
heavily populated and highly
civilized world will force the
gradual extinction of ardent and
inventive men, and encourage
the development of a race of ir
resolute stoics, but we cannot
wait for this kind of solution to
the ever growing problem. We
must now modify ourselves so
that we can exist in the envir
onment of effortless living we
have so modified."
He wasn't quite sure what
soft-living human beings should
do but he thought the answer
was in physical exercise, steam
baths, and massage. The exer
cise substitutes for the violent
physical activity of primitively
living human beings, the steam
baths give work to the body's
mechanism for regulating its
own internal temperature which
air-conditioning slows down,
and massaging restores reflexes
which have become "vegata
tive." $286,000 Burglary

Is That So?
The gravesf danger the camp
er encounters in the outdoors is
one he can't see and yet, for
his personal welfare it is the
most indispensable. That's his
drinking water.
Although sparkling clear, bub
bling out of a spring, it may be
contaminated. Besides, there is
the danger of not drinking
enough; and yet stomach-upset
can be incurred by not drinking
it carefully.
Before we untangle this maze
of seeming contradictions, let's
look at one of the most mistaken
beliefs about running water.
It has been said repeatedly
that a swift, well-aerated stream
purifies itsel within 100 yards.
Ridiculous. Only if the water
runs through beds of fine sand
- -3
is it filtered and rendered more
or less pure. But at other times
and this is in the overwhelm
ing majority of times the swift
ly running water flows over
solid rock and then even in one
mile the chemical content will
not be changed. And it can be
as contaminated as it was at the
source even if that source is
five miles upstream!
Now, to maintain the ability
to hike and carry a pack in the
outdoors it is most essential to
drink plenty of water. Army ex
periments carried out in high
altitude country and deserts dur
ing July have shown that an
average man, fully clothed and
resting between times, needs two
quarts of water daily in the
mountains; three quarts in the
coastal lowlands; and nine quarts
in Death Valley. Hence the need
for an adequate supply must be
anticipated by the camper: this
can never be taken for granted.
Where water is scarce, sav
ings can be affected. For example
a shade-giving tarpaulin can re
pay its own weight in water sav
ings in one day alone when used
for four hot midday hours. With
it, there are other water econ
omies, such as: avoid hurrying,
wear adequate clothing includ
ing a hat; and rest in the shade
during the heat of the day. Re
garding the latter, arrange your
day's trip through the canyon
in the early morning when it is
cool and full of bird songs in
stead of during the heat of the
noonday sun when it can be a
baking inferno and dehydrate
your body.
Study Trail Map
Before taking a hike Into new
country, study the trail map care
fully and plan to reach a stream
side for luni h, if you can, where
it is fairly cool and you can rest
and rinse out your mouth first
and after a time quench your
thirst' more fully. If no stream
is available, carry fresh fruit or
a small canteen of water. For
the midday snack, experienced
hikers often tote a small billy
can and make a cup of tea( us
ing plenty of quick energy-giving
sugar as a quick restorer.
It's a safe rule not to drink
too often when hiking particu
larly so with overheated young
sters who can get upset stomachs
easily from drinking cold water
quickly. Better first to rinse
the mouth, wait awhile and then
drink slowly.
But thirst can become an ob
session. To relieve a parched
tongue and throat, carry dried
prunes and eat one from time
to time, retaining the pit in the
mouth. This stimulates the flow
of saliva. I've even carried small
pebbles.
Chances Become Greater
And now for the unseen dang
er: as our great land becomes
more and more populated, the
chances of befouled water be
come greater and greater, even
in the mountainous regions. Care
less campers and resort owners
are the usual sources of contam
ination in wilder parts; in more
congested areas, cities and in
dustry. Thus, unless you are sure
of no human activity upstream,
you'll always be wise to "pur-

ways. You can use water purifi

which can be purchased in a
