We believe that we shall find that the resource* are many, the poaslbllltlea are many, and that all we need is the courage to go ahead and make plana and then push them forward to realization. Timber Is our principal resource. Water power la here at hand. Kail road and highway» to serve In distribution. The demand for lumber product» la great and especially plywood, and coanpoeitlon hardboards used for Inside finishing. These composition hard boards would use much of the waste timber, such as »labs and rotten timber not suitable for graded lumber or plywood. We are Informed that there la available many million» of feet of such waste timber located on every tract of timber holdings and millyards. Then there 1» the potential furniture manufacturing business with many s|»-cles of timber grown here in thia canyon. We believe It would be practical and feasible to manufacture such article» as furniture and wood toy» right here at home. Wouldn't It be better to make more year-around jobs available by Inviting Industry into our canyon anil encouraging steady |«ayrolla than to have only part-time employment and huge piles of waste materials to be biirmil and forever lost to humanity? The Bridge and the River By JAMES SMITH Did you cross the Mill City bridge Sunday night ? If you did |»erhaps you heard the conversation we did. The river was murmuring along, and the bridge was feeling the throb of hurrying humans hunians afoot and a-car. The bridge wan griping as all things human gripe sooner or later. "All day long the cars have been rushing by. Where did all the people come from? Where are they going? Can't they let me get a moment's peace. My beams are weary and I have such a tough week ahead of me. Those logging trucks will wear me out again tomorrow. Why, oh why, was I ever built? Will I ever rest again?” The river which hail known no rest for many ages past just murmured along keeping Its turbulent thoughts to Itself fighting Its never ending battle with the channels. Finally It could stand the whining of the bridge no longer. "You've got complaints, you say," it shrieked above the din of a car load of young people. “Let me tell you something. I've been rolling down this way for thousands of year» anil you haven't seen 50. I’m always moving and I'm never quiet. My Insides rumble and I crash against the rocks. Millions of fish have lived and iflisl along my watery course. I’ve been a home and a highway, you are a mere link. Be thankful you're alive. You won’t last more than a couple hundred year». But 1'11 be here still carrying my burden to the sea. So keep quiet will you, fellow?” The startled bridge who believed the river couldn't speak, just stood there silent like from that moment. The crescent moon crawled over the hills and mused at both of them. "Earthbound creature»," It said, “Look at me. All these millions of years I've moved in silence across the sky. But I am not indestructible. I'm old enough to know that everything changes in time. Change Is the order of the universe, only truth never changes." Ho the river, the bridge and the moon with their philosophies argued the night away as human thinkers slept.
