Guest speak ers were Mrs. Genevieve Turnip- seed of the University of Ore gon, , and Mrs. A. F. Holmer, state president of the council. , Mrs. John Yadon was elected temporary chairman; Mrs. Bert Schultz, temporary secretary with nominating and by-laws committee made up of represent ative church women. Receiving during the after noon were Mrs. Schultz of the Christian church, Mrs. Peter Newman, Baptist church;' Mrs. A. A. Peterson, Congregational church, Mrs. R. S. Hopkins, St. Paul's Episcopal church, and Mrs. R. P.'.EUingson Sr., First Methodist ."It is hard enough to make one Christian, harder slill to make a , Christian church.'-' To make a Christian nation is a task to stagger the imagination. To make a Christian world-may seem all but impossible. ? Yet this is no less, the goal which our religion sets us, .Holmer. : "For" many years .: church women have had a tendency to be self centered in their own churches. ' Today we are spread ing out. We are becoming more and more the salt of the earth. We unite to do something about the conditions of the world," said the speaker. Mrs. Turnipseed's topic was, "Together We Build." She said, In part, "Today we sit here quietly.- complacently, constructively and securely. We have nothing to fear at the present moment We are free." She continued to stress the necessity of the union of -women needed for a greater task than ever placed, before them. . ' Both- women were enthusi astically received and their trip to -Klamath Falls sincerely ap preciated. A musical program followed- the business meeting and silver tea. Next meeting of the United Council will be held July 16 at 2 p. m. at the Methodist church at - which time election of of ficers will take place. Perhaps we have been living to a very abnormal world where sugar, tires and gasoline were too often our standard of hap piness. Dr. William Mather Lewis, president Lafayette Col lege. ' -' ' ' Waste and .Expansion ' By EARL WHITLOCK Greatly as we all regret the waste, the extravagance, the er rors, the injustices, the assinini- ties that crop up in our great war expansion, we know that many of. them are inevitable. Not of ten do we stop to real ize how tremen- dous that ex pansion is. But if you'll 'reduce ' the " problem ": to simple terms, you'll see why a '. good many mistakes just had' to 'be made. Take a man who owns a little . family flock .of, say, a dozen hens. Now, .suppose you ordered that man,' almost overnight,' to construct immediately and to operate efficiently, a poultry v 1 m 4 " 1 ' - WJTTT T IrtUT dozen hensl . - No matter how much he knew about chickens, he'd make many wrong calculations, he'd spend a lot of money un wisely, much of his construc tion would have to be altered or done over, probably three fourths of the help he'd hire would turn out to be misfits, he d lose thousands of birds un necessarily why, it would take him a couple of years to come even close to efficiency in his operations. We cannot reasonably expect to multiply our industrial out put on the astronomical scale that our alms require without making mistakes during the process. But, all things con sidered, In spite of the carps and critics, we're doing a pretty good job, thank you. Next Friday Mr. Whitlock of the Earl Whitlock Funeral !to;e will cessment sa "July Fourth." .

By BILL BONI Wide World Military Editor WASHINGTON, June 29 The civil air patrol, whose ' light planes and civilian pilots already have turned in valuable work on coastal patrol against submar ines, is leaping into another breach with all the enthusiasm that can be generated by upward of 50,000 volunteers organized in squadrons, wings and groups in all of the 48 states.. Since the army took over con trol of the nation's airlines and much of their equipment, and with the country In a stew over the air cargo problem, the CAP has instituted a courier service which, in many respects, bears the same relation to the main commercial air Toutes as does auxiliary truck service to rail road operations. But it goes even beyond that in making vital time-saving con tributions to a war program in which time is the one main es sential. Under the supervision of Gar net N. Hughes, executive officer of the New York wing, an eco nomic survey was made for Long Island war production plant which had frequent calls for small shipments of ' parts, tools and other materials, and got them by truck, motorcycle or private car. In one month 286 such trips were made covering 14,780 miles, involving 422 hours spent in transit, and costing $1700. The CAP estimated it could cut the mileage to 11,040; reduce the time-in-transit to 110 hours, and operate at less than half the previous cost. "- The. CAP: now has been entrusted with -these missions. -. . Many Possibilities There are infinite possibilities for this sort of work, including a chance of carrying air mail on now abandoned routes, and the CAP under National Command er Earle L. Johnson is looking into all of them. In. the six months of its or ganization it already has branch ed out into many fields. CAP planes have flown army officers on short hops where military planes were not available and fast transportation was neces sary. Notably in Georgia and the Carolines, CAP planes have aid ed, the u. 5. forest service in locating forest fires and taking fire-lighting officers on survey flights. This has worked out so well that the forest service recently sent a directive to its regional officers explaining the organi zation of the CAP and authoriz ing them to use its equipment, either on patrol against in cendiary saboteurs (fires in ten places In Chattahoochee national forest were listed as of in cendiary origin); detection of new fires when smoke blots out visibility from lookout towers, or transportation of fire fighters and their equipment to scenes of action. The same sort of arrangement shortly may be made with the Red Cross, which already has found the CAP a welcome aid in midwestern tornado and flood relief work. At Pryor and Pawhuska, Okla., two CAP squadrons fol lowed the trail of tornadoes to relay word to relief officials about where help was needed.

An Oregon aerial searching party under Wing Commander Capt. Leo G. Devaney by mid- morning located an army bomb er that had disappeared on a night flight. For security reasons the army and navy will release no specific information on what the CAP is accomplishing on submarine patrol. It is kown, however, that these accomplishments have been con siderable, at least in keeping the U-boats below- the surface even in the case of the pilot who, sent out on his first flight armed with a secret code in which to report any enemy periscopes, suddenly saw a sub surface dead ahead of him and blurted into his microphone, "holy smoke, a submarine!"
