10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford", Oregon, Wednesday, April 2, 1938 Christ peot With Friends Editor's note: This is the third of six Easter meditauons in wnicn nmminrnt clerEvmen discuss the events of-each day In the final week of Jesus Christ's earthy min istry. Today's author is the rector of St. John's Episcopal church, Bethesda, Md. By THE REV. DR. WILLIAM F. CREIGHTON Written for the United Press In the midst of the most eventful week of Christ's life among men, this week of rap id action, comes Wednesday. And it comes with the strange dramatic effect that we expe rience in unexpected silence. Christ appears on this day not to have gone into the city but to have spent its hours quietly with His friends and disciples in Bethany. The tri umphal entry and the cleans ing of the temple are behind Him. The last supper and the arrest and crucifixion lie ahead. Few of us would question the real value of Christian faith in dealing with the dra matic crises of our lives. It may be much more important Grange Notes Upper Rogue Grange A farewell party, a potluck dinner, was given Saturday, March 29, by Upper Grange and its Home Economics club in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Herb Carlton, with the Home Eco nomics club in charge. The Carltons, long-time residents of the Prospect-Trail area, are moving to Ashland. Members of Upper Rogue Grange and their families were invited. Special guests were Pomona Master and Mrs. Robert Bitterling of Eagle Point, and families of the Carltons' son and daughters, the Jack Carltons of Trail; the Leland Netherlands of Medf ord and the Claude Gar retts of Ashland. Following the dinner, the Carltons were presented with a gift on behalf of the Grange and the Home Economics club. Music for dancing was furnished by Steven and Rob ert Hoag and Don Gillespie, and games were played in the dining hall. The Carltons have been members of Upper Rogue Grange for many years; Carl ton has held various offices including that of master for several terms; Mrs. Carlton has served as lecturer, one of the Graces and in other of fices. Both, also, have been officers of Jackson County Pomona, with Brother Carl ton having served as Pomona Master for four terms. Next meeting of Upper Rogue Grange will be held Thursday evening, April 3. Upper Applegate Grange The Upper Applegate Grange held its meeting March 28 with Overseer Pearl Byrne presiding. Master Men no Bachmann and Mrs. Bach mann were absent. Mr. and Mrs. Poe and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Perl, members of the Phoenix Grange, were visitors. Mrs. Alice D. Hib bard was voted to become a member. Chaplain Mildred Redhead said that she ha1 received a call from William DeShazzo who is home for a brief stay to attend his business here. He said Mrs. DeShazzo is some improved from injuries she re ceived in an auto accident last January. She is still in the Merced hospital and it has been necessary to keep day and night nurses for her. De Shazzo feels encouraged in the fact t'-'it Mrs. De Shazzo rouses occasionally from a coma to recognize members of the family. He hopes that soon they will be able to move her to Los Angeles. Her ad dress is: General hospital, Merced. Calif. DeShazzo asked that his thanks and appreciation for the many cards and letters be extended to friends here, as it is impossible for him to answer all of them at this time. HEC Chairman Edna Saw yer announced that the club will sponsor a plastic party at the Grange hall, May 6, and that the public is invited. Mrs. Sawyer announced that the food committee for next meeting will be Mrs. Metta Buck and Mrs. Viola Findley, and Clarence Buck and Ed Findley. Secretary Irene uly slated that all grange due. had been collected for 1958. There will be grange dance April 12. Th. public is invited. Edmund Ramsej reported on the meeting of the Jersey Cattle club, of which he is a member, and pointed out that since the dairy industry con tributes a major part of Jack- Lflkely Inloyrs for us to realize God's pres ence, His being, in the un eventful, unrecorded, days of our lives. More Important It may be more important because there are many more of them and they lie for all of us somewhere between the high moments. Ordinary days come in between birth and death, between decision and consequency. What happens on those common days affirms or denies what went before, and shapes the events to come. This day, then, can say much to us because of its set ting and because of its quiet, because it speaks to us more of being than of doing. It re minds us that God acts not only in great world-shaking events but also on ordinary days. Here are all persons on a common day (what I do last Wednesday?) affirming or de nying all that has gone be fore, and preparing for all that is to come. Mostly in Bethany To find Christ on such a day simply "being, in Betha ny" is helpful because most of our days are of this sort. They are spent where we are, with our friends, doing the same things we always do and it is on such days that our be ing, the manner of our living, the way in which we. meet our friends, confirms or de nies what has been and shapes what is to be. Christ may have been tempted on this day knowing what lay ahead. Certainly He prayed and thought, and sure ly His love flowed from life to life as He talked and ate and planned with His friends. He went on from Wednes day to the mighty acts of the days to follow. Men ever since have stood in thankful won der beneath the cross. But the cross is related to His being on Wednesday, as all the great days of life arerelated to the uneventful days. In or dinary meetings and common tasks our real being consists and' it is them that His love may most surely be lived. Denationalization Demanded in France Paris (IB Private industry demanded today that the gov ernment denationalize some of the industries which had been paralyzed by a 24-hour general strike. Tuesday's strike by nearly one million government em ployees effectively bottled up the nation's rail system, halt ed bus lines and crippled air service. The 24-hour walkout was a warning of more labor trouble to come unless the government bows to union de mands for a 20 per cent pay raise. son county's economic liveli hood, it is surprising that it does not receive more public ity. Mrs. Poe, who is district HEC chairman covering six counties in the state, and rep resenting 64 .granges, present ed the National Certificate of Merit to Mrs. Edna Sawyer, for the Upper Applegate grange, as an award for com pletion of HEC projects as outlined by the National Grange. The certificate, the only one awarded in Jackson county, is signed by the National Grange Master, Herschel D. Newsome, and National Economics Chair man, Alta Peck, and merited by this grange through efforts of Mrs. Sawyer in efficiently executing her duties as HEC chairman. The attendance "kitty" was won by Verna Culy and Eliza beth Nostrand was drawn as the membership "jackpo t" winner. Since Mrs. Nostrand was not present, the jackpot remains for next meeting. Mrs. Frank Pearl showed colored slides of the Tourna ment of Roses parade, the Mis sion of Capistrano, Disney Land and Marine Land. -jmm www Explorer Scouts Thought Drowned In Lock of Dam Parker, Ariz. (IP) Search ers watched today for the ! bodies of three California Ex plorer Scouts presumed drowned when they were sucked through the lock in Squaw Dam a mile north of here. o The three, members of Troop 216 from Alhambra, Calif., were still clinging to their overturned boat when the swirling waters rushing through the dam pulled them through the lock. . They were identified as Ed ward Roger Barrett Jr., 17, Gary Cushing, 18, and Wil liam Bowles, 17. Fourth Swam Ashore A fourth scout, Frank Smith, 16, also of Alhambra, chose to swim ashore when their craft capsized and drift ed past the warning cable stretched 500 yards above the dam. The others decided to stay with the boat and were caught in the undertow creat ed by the water as it plunged 15 feet into the 100-foot deep pool below the dam. The group, sponsored by. Alhambra's Fremont Youth Center, was on an Easter va cation outing. Edward Roger Barrett Sr., father of one of the victims, was the scout master. "Three of my friends just went through the dam." young Smith told a sheriffs deputy after reaching shore Searchers put out in small boats but found no trace of the missing youths. Their boat was crushed when it passed through the lock. Unander Proposes Access Road Fund Springfield (IP) State Treasurer Sig Unander, a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor of Oregon, says he has a self liquidating plan that could bring as much as $150 million to Oregon for the construction of access roads in national forests. Unander proposed the es tablishment of a federal en tity in corporate form under direction of the secretary of agriculture to be known as the National Forest Self Liquidating Conserva tion fund. The Corporation would issue its revenue bonds to the secretary of the treasury for sale on the open market. The interest rate would be established by the secretary of the treasury. The access road system would be con structed with funds from the sale of the bonds and the bonds would be retired throul charges for use of the roads. Unander said he will sub mit the plan to Oregon's con gressional delegation for study. Birmingham Bus Drivers Walk Out Birmingham, Ala. (IP) The South's second major transit strike in less than a week paralyzed Birming ham's city bus system at mid night Monday. Members of the Amalga mated Street Car Union voted 369-14 to walk out unless the bus company met its demand for a wage hike of 23 cents an hour. The transit firm made a final offer, just before the deadline, of six cents an hour immediatley and a four-cent hike next year. Mayor James W. Morgan met with both sides in an effort to bring about a compromise, but was unsuccessful. COPTER ON INSTRUMENTS Ft. Rucker, Ala.

The classes then made numerous tests with the hydrogen sul fide. A cheerful touch for the home economics room is the addition of new curtains.

Each article Is a summary ot an actual report The Family Council does not give advice; It merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. Carolyn S. She should make him suffer. Betty M. I know when I'm licked. . Carolyn S. I am trying to stop my sister from taking a disastrous step. Several months ago, after a marriage of six years, she learned that her husband had been having an affair with an other woman. When she con fronted him he readily admit ted it and said he wanted a divorce. My sister is heartbroken and is ready to go ahead and do as he asks. I say she is crazy. This thing may pass off as suddenly as it happened. Her husband is infatuated, and I don't think he realizes what he is doing. In any case, why make it easy for him? She should make him suffer as he has made her suffer. Betty M. It won't make me suffer any less to make my husband suffer more. He has hurt me and the two children so much already I almost wish I'd never see him again. As for its being infatuation, I doubt it. I have seen this woman and she happens to be a real beauty. She is several years younger than I am and has money besides. In short, my husband has everything to gain. Why would he ever come back tp me? I'm trying to be realistic for my sake and the children's sakes. I know when I'm lick ed and I don't see any sense torturing myself fighting a losing battle. The Council Betty is hurt and her feeling of despair is understandable, but she is al lowing her emotions to cloud her best judgment at this time. She is wrong in believing that all is krt because the other woman is rich, young and beautiful. She knows nothing about the other wom an's personality and probab ly little about her relationship with her husband. Betty has resources which she underestimates. A six year marriage and two young children are no small items. Over the years she and her husband must have developed many strong, meaningful ties. Her love for her husband and children should be the spur to quicken her desire to put up a fight. It is true that the battle could be a losing one, but surely it is worth fighting. There should be no haste in such an important matter. The time might come when Betty and her husband would regret hasty action. We don't think there is much point in Betty's focus ing her interest on trying to make her husband suffer. As long as she does this, she would be living a miserable, vengeful existence which would leave her with little de sire or energy for building a happier life for herself. But we do think that Betty ought to take plenty of time to put up a positive fight for her home. She can't be licked until she has fought. (Copyright 1958, General Features Corp.)
