Foresters Attend OSC Short Course
Corvallis - Three foresters
from southern Oregon com
pleted a special short course
in forest variable plot cruis
ing Friday at Oregon State
college.
Participating were Albert
J. Boris, Timber Products
company, and Howard W.

Some 65 foresters from

standing timber. Developed

adoption, according to the
college.

Message
By
THE MOST REV.
JOHN WRIGHT
Roman Catholic Bishop
of Pittsburgh
(Written for UPI)
Most people would accept
everything about Christ and
His teachings e x c e p t the
cross. The cross remains pre
cisely what St. Paul pro
claimed it to be, a stumbling
block over which they fall
who would find Christ ap
pealing, consoling, inspiring,
anything else one wishes
except for the cross.
Indeed, most would prob
ably find even the cross
magnificent if Christ had lim
ited its necessity to Himself.
But he did not. He made it
the condition of the sincere
following of His teaching that
each would take up his own
cross in imitation of the cru
cified Son of Man.
St. Paul gloried that he
might share any part of the
redemptive sufferings of
Christ. He understood that
only they can share the glory
of God who have shared the
cross of His Son.
This is unintelligible to the
undisciplined and the selfish,
even those who call them
selves Christians and who
profess to seek the truth that
religion offers. Whatever in
Christ is comfortable and
consistent with their purposes
is gladly accepted; out of this
they cheerfully fashion a
"faith by which to live." But
the hard sayings" of the
ijospei; the stern require
ments of the Commandments;
the contradiction and renun
ciation which come with the
cross these are repugnant to
mere nature and are speedily
rejected.
Then comes Lent and with
Lent the reminder that the
way of perfection, on what
ever level is never cut to our
preferences and smoothed for
our ease. It is always the way
of the cross, of austerity and
voluntary penances which
give us some title to the joy
of which Easter is the prom
ise, livery now and again na
tions must learn this lesson
as well as individuals. Ours
is such a time in history. Lent
was never more opportune in
its lessons of the necessity
and the uses of the cross.
Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
SENATOR BARRY GOLDWATER tells of a political scan
dal that's about to break in a certain very large state.
"Somebody," he claims, "has stolen next year's election re
turns." The Senator also
points out that President
Kennedy's new cabinet
has a distinction no pre
vious cabinet could boast.
It's the only one that can
play Yale.
A few generally over
looked observations by fa
mous men resurrected by
Bill Blair:
"I don't mind lying, but
I hate Inaccuracy" Samuel
Butler.
"What is written without
effort is in general read
without pleasure" Samuel Johnson.
. "A fanatic is a man who can't change his mind and won't
change the subject" Winston Churchill.
"The secret of being boring is to say everytliiiig" Voltaire.
A Yale playboy boasts that his girl has everything but he's
hoping to get some of it back.

Candy Suggested To
Replace Coffee Break
Santa Barbara, Calif. - IUPD - There's a plot afoot to re
place the coffee break by a candy break.
Businessman Russell D. Albers said today coffee breaks
are costing American business too much money.
"Nothing against coffee, mind you," said Albers. "But lt
just doesn't have the energy wallop of a piece of candy and
it is tremendously time consuming.
"Look," he said. "A top executive earns about 40 to 50
cents a minute. So a 10-minute coffee break twice a day is
costing his company between $8 and $10 a day or around
$2,000 a year.
"Multiply that by a few thousand executives and you are
up in the millions of dollars."
What Alberts foresees is a conversion to top executives tn
candy breaks and "then we're going to get going on a junior
executive candy break, he said.
"From there It's just a short hop to lining up secretaries,
clerks, timekeepers, office boys and finally the entire produc
tion staff," he said.
Asked if he was serious, Albers smilingly said he cer
tainly was. And then he revealed who he is, the president
of a Los Angeles candy firm.
Mrs. T. F.-We need more
money, but 1 hesitate to take
a job and neglect Howard.
Howard F.-She needn t wor
ry. 1 can take care of myseu
better than she thinks.
Mrs. T. F.-I was widowed
a few months ago, and we are
in desperate financial straits.
My husband left no insurance,
no savings, and many debts.
Although we owned our home
outright, I'll have to sell it to
meet obligations.
To provide living expenses
for myself and Howard, our
14-year-old son, I must either
seek employment or go on
relief. Embarrassing as it
would be, I'm inclined to do
the latter. Then I can devote
myself to providing poor How
ard with the best possible
home.
He's a gifted, promising
boy, and the loss of our home
on top of the loss of his father
could be a shattering experi
ence for him. I feel he should
t least have his mother
around to comfort and reas
sure him as much as possible.
.
Howard F.-I think my moth
er s plan is terrible. 1 can
understand her selling our
home, what with all the bills
and taxes and fuel costs. But
we don't really have to go on
relief.
Mom says she wants to take
care of me, know where I am
and how I feel. Well, she
knows exactly where I am
from 9 to 4 every day. Right
on Riggs ave., in school. And
feel fine there. She can
easily get a part-time job.
She's a crackerjack bookkcep-
and used to work in a tax
office.
And what's wrong with my
getting working papers? Then
I can make some money on
Saturdays and after school. I
know Mom's thinking of my
studies and hobbies and all.
But I'm a good student. And
things will get better.
Meanwhile, I wish she'd try
it my way.
bumps in the road ahead. If
his mother rushes to smooth
(hem, how will he ever flex
his own problem-solving mus
cles? A reasonable amount of
stress, say the experts, is not
only desirable but necessary
for optimum health. For full
development, a heart needs a
hill to climb. The best pearls,
say the breeders, come from
the most "irritated" oysters.
Mrs. F. need not fear any
long-range detriment to How
ard if she lakes a job.
Temporarily, of course,
Howard may have to forego
a part in the class play or
a private research project lor
the science class. But witn
the reinforced self-confidence
that will come with licking
the present threat, he'll catch
up fast.
In a recent study of gitted
children, Dr. Victor H. Goert
zel came up with findings to

The Council: "Into each
life." said Longfellow, "some
rain must fall." Yet, in her
solicitude for her fatherless
son, Mrs. F. wants to be the
tarpaulin that "shields" him
from something essential. The
problems ahead may provide
just the right challenge for
the full flowering of How
ard's talents.
We concur with Howard.
While we hold no brief for
avoidable suffering, we find
value in a few surmountable
the spur that propels a child
into real accomplishment.
Mrs. F. must not lose sight
of the many compensations
in Howard's life, not the least
of which is the example of a
proud, go-getting mother.
To sum up, Mrs. F.'s trou
bles may turn out-if handled
in brave teamwork-to have
helped Howard more than the
lack of any trouble could do.
Besides, no mother can assure
a lack of trouble, no matter
her resources. Together, this
mother and son can pack a
real punch.
