Then . . .
Gloom and doom, two words
glibly hurled about in political
campaigns are also In the lexicon
of 'he clergy. '
The Rev. Qalen Onstad, pastor
of St. Paul's Episcopal Church,
says he believes many persons of
naturally buoyant and happy de
meanor are kept out of church by
the depressing atmosphere created
by some ministers of the gospel.
"There are two methods Invoked
In some segments of religion to
day to gain parishioners with which
I am not In accord," the Jtev. Mr.
Onstad declared. "One la frighten
ing people Into church and the
other is assuring those who attend
services that all their problems,
both spiritual and material, will be
solved bv the church."
FAVORED GOOD TIME
The pastor pointed out that Christ
Himself demonstrated at the Mar
riRge Feast of Canan that he was
not opposed to people having a
good time.
"In some churches today," the
Rev. Mr. Onstad said, "it seems
the main purpose is to imbue the
people with the idea that worship
ing God is an arduous task which
can only be accomplished with
funereal countenence.
"In my years of experience as
a minister," he continued, "I have
found that true Christians are hap
py pccple who practice their re-
ligion with joy. They do not go
through life in an atmosphere of
gloom and doom."
The Rev. Mr. Onstad was born
in Dawson, Minnesota, August 17,
1906. When he was a year and a
half old. the family moved to Whao
ton, North Dakota, where his fath
er was engaged in the hardware
business.
AT SEMINARY
In 1914, the Onstads moved to
St. Paul. The future pastor attend
ed Longfellow Grammar School
and Breck Episcopal High School
in St. Paul and the University of
Minnesota. He comDleted his edu
cation at Seabury-Western Semin
ary at Evanston, Illinois, in 1933.
He was then ordained at St. Mary's
Episcopal Church In St. Paul.
In the next few years, the Rev.
Mr. Onstid served hi! church in St.
Paul, Marshall, Minnesota, and
Oakes. North Dakota.
While in North Dakota, the young
minister got what might aptly be
termed a "baptism of. fire." It was
in the darkest days of the depres
sion and manv of his parishioners
were living In tar paper shacks
Two Bandits Rob
Oakland Chapel
OAKLAND (UP) Two bandits
bound three owners with adhesive
tape and robbed the Robinson
Mortuary, 1901 Prultvale Ave., of
$554 in cash early today and es
caped under pistol fire in a hearse.
The bandits told Burt Hurst and
his wife. Velva. that they wanted
to arrange a funeral for a cousin
and asked to "look around." One
of them pulled a pistol and bound
Hursts. Harry Robinson, the other
owner, entered and he, too, was
bound.
Robinson managed to unloosen
himself, however, and fired three
shots at the hearse stolen by the
thieves. The hearse was found
abandoned later at East 18th
Street and 35th Ave., only a short
distance from the mortuary.

- But when the depression clouu3
rolled away, the Rev. Mr. Onstad
migrated to what to him in Biblical
phraseology was a land of milk
and honey Texas.
- "Texas is big In more ways than
one," he said, "We were able to
build a $300,000 church In Amarillo
in one year. Our Texas parishion
ers, it seemed, couldn't contribute
big enough and fast enough.
"Everything was on a big scale,"
he continued. "Texans want plen-

SACRAMENTO (UP) Traffic
fatalities in California are up 10.il
per cent over 1954, the California
Highway Patrol reported Saturday.
The CHP sa d provluona fig- ne.rln. .he end of its biggest year
in history, laid plans tnis week
for an even more sensational per
formance in 1956.
As nroduction '. consumer goods
held to a breath-taking pace and
Christmas spending in the na
tion's stores smashed all records,
businessmen were aiming at new
peaks of achievement in the -years
to come.
Predictions of higher sales and
prolits came from leaders in such
varied fields as petroleum, elec
tronics, retailing, chemicals, and
plastics. Ambitious programs of
expansion were stirring almost everywhere.
There was new evidence, too,
that Washington would keep the
boom rolling. The administration
unwrapped a 35-blllion-dollar de
fense budget for the upcoming fis
cal year. President Eisenhower ex
pressed confidence that the new
Congress would give an early go-
ures for the first n months of
the year showed 3058 fatalities,
an increase of 302 over the same
period of 1954.

death toll despite a speedup' in its
enforcement activities for the
same period. The CHP said It has
made 36 6 per cent more arrestr,
In 1955 than it did a year ago.
Missionary Returns
To San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) Mrs.
C. J. Weber, whose husband was
gored to death by a prize-winning
bull, is returning here with her
daughter, Nancy. 18, from Argen
tine on Dec. 2 after IS years
in Seventh-Day Adventist mis
sionary work in South America.
Mrs. Weber, formerly a dieti
cian at the Portland, Ore., Sanitar

hospitals. Her husband was direc
tor of agriculture and industrial
arts at River Plate College in

which would Immediately revive
the home-building boom.
In mapping luture strategy, busi
nessmen were placing tneir bets
on a stcadilv rising population
curve, ever widening consumer de
mand, and A sustained high level
of personal Income.
Ralph J. Cordlner, president of
General Electric Co., said sales
of the big company In 1H56 should
climb 10 to 15 per cent over this
year's level, and thai total busl
ness activity tn the nation should
be up 4 to 6 per cent.
Plans for a record l'b-btlllon-dollar
expansion program were un
veiled by President Augustus C.
Long of the Texas Co.
The auto Industry was gunning
for now records. Next year might
fall below the fantastic sales and
production totals of 1955, Industry
leaders said, "but Just watch us
go in 1957." Drastic style and en
gineering changes already on

Burnett Gives
Wool Reminder
Chairman William J. Burnett of
the Klamath County Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Committee reminds woo! growers
that under the new wool program,
producers are eligible for payments
on their shorn wool marketed nd
their lambs and yearlings sold for
slaughter.
However, the grower must apply
for the payment and the appli
cation must be supported by ac
ceptable sales documents and cer
tifications. He suggests that producers ap
plying for payments should file
their applications and supporting
document with Klamath County
ASC office ns soon after the sale
as possible in order to reduce the
risk of misplacing and difficulty
in trying to locate the documents
at a later date. The chairman in
dicates that there have been a
number of cases where these es
sential documents have been lost
or rpisplaced when this necessary
procedure was put off until later
date.
