County Agent James Keycs said, and started to tall slow ly. More than 500 workers started today's round of the struggle with the water level at 30 feet. Enainnrs From Fort Lewis The expected arrival of the first contingent of 550 men from the 1154th combat en gineers at Fort Lewis, Wash., promised relief for farm fam ilies who have gone sleepless four nights, Keyes said. A small group of farmers who yesterday dug a trench straight down into a weaken ing dike to plug a leak while the water pushed at the silty banks 18 feet above them would be assigned reinforcements from the soldier contingent. Keyes said. Their dangerous feat, he said, held intact one of the weakest links in the dike sys tem after the task was con sidered virtually hopeless. Maj. V. C. High, executive officer, said at Fort Lewis that the fresh troops would bring with them bulldozers to rein force the heavy equipment crews from Geiger field, Spo kane. The 350 soldiers started their 18-hour trek to the river last night. Another 100 were scheduled to leave at noon to day, and 100 more will depart Monday if they are needed. Rivtr Drop Expected Keyes said he expected the river to drop slowly, even if warm weather does not start it rising again. The steady pres sure on the crumbling banks maintains a constant threat of a breakthrough even if the water remains below the dike tops. he said. One dike on the west side of the river was reported being held in place by farmers fight ing for their land when a messenger finally reached here. The district had been isolated when two ferries washed out and no help could be sent to the weary crew there, Keyes said. The Columbia river flooded 10,000 acres of land between Vancouver and Ridgef ield. Wash., as the water level neared its predicted crest. Some cat tle were removed from islands. A mile-long stretch of road was covered by water four to six feet deep, and residents of sev eral communities below Grand Coulee dam continued placing sandbags to protect their homes. Puget Sound Lumber Raise SEATTLE, June 1 UP) Eighteen thousand Puget Sound AFL lumber workers yesterday were granted a 5 cent an hour wage increase bringing their minimum hourly pay to SI. 10. The increase is retroactive to April 1. and went to 8000 mill workers, loggers of the Puget Sound district council of the AFL-Lumber and Sawmill Work ers' union, approximately 10,000 plywood, box shook and door factory workers of the same union and the ClO-International Woodworkers of America. Pacific northwest CIO loggers and mill workers won a five cent an hour wage increase earlier this week. The lumbermen's industrial re lations committee said it would submit the new agreement to the wage stabilization board for ap proval, indicating an appeal was being prepared for a lumber price rise. The agreement ended more than 10 weeks negotiations be tween the union and the lumber men's industrial relations com mittee. Union locals still are to vote on the increase, but opera tors said they believe the union would find it acceptable. $' -" V Vmi' t. p liinmwriiifaH' ii iii hi 1 Police take to the air at Oakland.

Long since, the other sins of your life-time were settled for. Out of love for you, God sent his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to die for your sins. Crucified, dead and . buried, Christ arose from the grave, the victor over death. He arose to take up in your heart and make you rich with Himself. That Blackest Sin Is to close your heart against Him. So it is that we must turn and be lieve in our heart of hearts, that He died for our sins. The blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son, cleanseth us from all sin. Bible. Count your sins as settled for and receive Christ into your heart to make you a new man.

Yets Can Get Surplus Blanks Veterans' application blanks to purchase surplus property for their own personal use are now available in every selective board office in Oregon, Hugh E. Rosson, director of Veterans' Affairs, announced today. The new certificates, distrib uted by the war assets admin istration through state selective service headquarters, enable World War II veterans to pur chase certain materials set aside expressly for their pur chase by provisions of the re cent surplus property act amendment in congress, Rosson said. The veteran must certify that he is purchasing the property for his own personal use and not for resale, according to the act. Items set aside for personal use purchase Include a limited number of typewriters, new and used passenger cars, dental and medical equipment, trucks up to two and one-half tons. Jeeps, tractors, plows, and construc tion, mining and excavating machinery. In setting aside this equip ment by the recent act, Lt. Gen. Edmund B. Gregory, war assets administrator, warned that "all of these items are in extremely short supply. It follows that there simply will not be enough to meet veterans' demand. But what there is in surplus on the set-aside list will go to veterans and to no one else." Rosson said Oregon veterans should go to their local draft boards and apply on blue form WAA 73.
