TIMBER—All trains, bu£ the daily local freight, have been pulled off because of the logging camps be ing closed due to snow and high water. The Christmas pregram put on by the teachers and pupils of the grade school, was very much enjoy ed by a large attendance last Wed nesday night at the gym. ilj. and Mrs. William Harkson and son, Billy, Mr. and Mrs. Slim Laycock and Helene Marshall of Portland were dinner guests Christ mas day of Mr. and Mrs. John Dunn and family. Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Christenson and Jimmy of Forest Grove were last week visitors of Mrs. Christ enson’s sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Dunn. Mrs. Ethel Gallinger and son, Bobby, of Portland were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Percy McCampbell tories, etc., have a census taken by letter carriers. About 40 per cent of the farms of the two northwest states are electrified and the remaining 60 per cent depend on kerosene for their illuntina.ion. A farmer, to obtain kerosene, which is rationed, must travel to his local board and strug gle with a questionnaire and try to answer questions which are all but unanswerable; such as how many gallons of kerosene were used in December, 1941, and the square feet o:f the dwelling illuminated. Farmers usually go to a store and buy a can of kerosene and keep no record of the amount used. As for knowing the number of square feet in a farmhouse, it never oc curred to them to find out. • • * Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard now knows that unless re lief is extended the farmers there will be a heaVy decrease in food production next year (the vital year in this war), but as yet his department has not taken a bold stand to demand farm labor from the labor pool. The military says it is not concerned with the farm help problem, but is insistent upon ob taining all the food it requires. However, when the manpower sit uation is straightened out the farms will have their quota. That much is certain. a ì Ì King’s Clatskanie CHURCHES PLAN NEW YEAR’S OBSERVANCE The Church Council of Clatskan ie is arranging for special services on New Year’s day at the Metho dist church. The hour is set for 11 a.m. Both Rev. John Hosford and Rowan A. O’Brien will have a part in the services and the com bined choirs of the two churches will render special music. Rainier RAINIER SCHOOLS CLOSE FOR VACATIONS Rainier schools closed on Wed nesday, December 23 for the Christ mas vacation, which will continue until January 4. Both the grade and high schools held afternoon Christmas programs on Wednesday. see Oregon lawmakers will have a tough job ahead of them in January They must find new sources of rev enue to overcome the loss of gaso line tax money; something new to tax or an increase in existing rates. The returns from the gasoline tax have been dropping and will para chute downward under rationing. Revenue will also drop from re ceipts from licensing automobiles and trucks, but buses will' hold their own as they will be the backbone of interurban transportation. Mem bers of the ways and means com mittee will have a headache throughout the session trying to devise revenue to meet state ex penses. • • • To convince OPA and other ag encies that tbe population of Ore gon has increased (officials are still going by the 1940 census) it has been suggested that air raid wardens in every block report on everyone living in their unit.
