BOND DINNER PLANNED
AT HIGH SCHOOL
For a twenty dollar bill, any
resident of Columbia county this
Friday night, Sept. 10, can: 1.
Aid the war effort in a very effec
tive way; 2. Help secure his own
future; 3. Get the kind of a mea)
epicures dream about; 4. Have a
front seat for some entertainment
which is guaranteed to be grade
A and easily worth the twenty
bucks by itself.
This $20 will buy admission to
the second bond dinner held in
the county and the affair is to
start at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 10
in the high school auditorium. Of
that $20, $18.76 will go to buy
a $25 (maturity value) war bond
for the purchase of the ticket,
while $1.25 will pay for the din
ner and the entertainment.

TWO RAINIER MEN GET
HERO DECORATIONS
Two Rainier men have been
awarded the Purple Heart decora
tion for gallantry in action, and
both were wounded in the en
gagements wherein their aggres
siveness and coolness in battle
brought the awards.
One is Cpl. Ralph Giger, who is
back in an African hospital after
being wounded in Sicily. The oth
er is Albert Attig, who was report
ed last week to have been wound
ed in the South Pacific.
Busy beavers who whittled away
at a 9-inch tree near Rocky Point
until the tree fell at 11:55 Wed
nesday, September 1, cut off pow
er serving St. Helens plants and
left residential users from Burl
ington to Deer Island without ser
vice for 50 minutes, Jack H.
Murton, Portland General Elec
tric Co. manager, said.
The beavers weren't content
with felling just the one tree
which carried away a 60,000 volt
high line, but are also busy on
several other trees in the vicinity,
so PGE workers intend to pay a
visit to the scene of the project
and fell the trees away from the
power circuits. Then, if the beav
ers want the trees they’re wel
come to them.

CHANGES ARE EFFECTED
IN SEVERAL OFFICES
Changes in office personnel
have been prevalent recently, res
ignations of Leona Rankin, Hen
ry Owens and Emil Mueller tak
ing effect.
Mrs. T. S. Colvin took over the
duties of postmistress on Mon
day, August 30. She succeeded
Emil Mueller, who left Clatskanie
and is now residing in Portland.
Mrs. Colvin resigned her position
as clerk on the ration board to
accept the post office duties.
Stanford Miller took over the
duties of city marshal on Septem
ber 1st. He replaces Henry Owens,
who is now on vacation and whose
resignation from the office is ef
fective September 13th. Leona
Rankin, clerk of the ration office
for Clatskanie has sent in her res
ignation to be effective as of
September 15. Inconsideration of
office hours by people has made
it impossible for her to continue
in that capacity.
The war price and rationing
board will be moved to another
location as soon as accomodations
can be found.
Mrs. Pauline Russell is a clerk
in the office and assumed duties
resigned by Mrs. Colvin.

Facing the returning congress
in the middle of September are a
score and more of problems affect
ing American industry. Chief
among these is the administration
program to get some type of com
pulsory manpower and womanpow
er legislation. For, convinced of
the inadequacy of the latest vol
untary compliance program, the
administration is expected to
press for such a program probably
in the form of a modified version
of the Austin-Wadsworth National
Service bill.
The fact that the labor draft
issue has become intertwined with
the prospective drafting of fathers
indicates that the coming ses
sion will see a bitter manpower
struggle.
As for tax legislation, congres
sional circles see it coming after
January first and then it will be
strictly a rate bill. An adminis
tration tax bill is expected for
separate consideration next year.
Renegotiation and contract ter
mination will be major topics,
grade-labeling regulations, stand
ardization, and simplification are
other issues affecting established
business practices.
There will be amendments pro
posed to the price control act elim
inating all farm price ceilings;
revision of the patent system; cre
ation of machinery for the dis
posal of surplus government ma
terials; and legislation requiring
all government agencies to file
financial reports with congress.
There will be public hearings
soon on the Hobbs Anti-Racket
eering bill which would make un
ions liable for prosecution under
the antitrust laws. A wide variety
of amendments will come from
both houses for the Smith-Connally
act.
The president has authorized the
application of specific sanctions
against employers, labor unions,
and individual workers to enforce
compliance with war labor board
orders. Under the executive order
setting up the new enforcement
policy, Director of economic Sta
bilization Fred M. Vinson is di
rected to apply the penalties after
the WLB has reported to him that
its orders have not been complied
with.
The war manpower commission
threatens employers and employ
ees who violate the new govern
ment employment stabilization pro
gram with some drastic penalties.
While employees are allowed to
accept jobs at higher pay in cer
tain cases, WMC warns that if
they take jobs at higher pay in
violaton of the new regulations,
they are subject to $1,4)00 fine,
a year in prison, or both. The
same goes for the employer who
violates the regulation.

“MISTAKES'’
OF
MOSES
The mistakes of Moses have
long been the subject of skepti
cal investigation and discussion.
But why the mistakes of Moses?
Do not other people make mis
takes? Why do not skeptics dis
cuss the mistakes of Pharoah? of
Nebuchadnezzar? of
Alexander?
of Napoleon? or of any of the
great men of past or present
times? Why is Moses singled out
for criticism? Not because Moses
claimed to be a prophet, for Mo
hammed claimed that;
Joseph
Smith, the Mormon, made that
claim; but what critic spends his
time pointing out their mistakes?
It looks as if Moses must have
been a good deal of a man, if
his “mistakes” are of so much
consequence. When you and I
have been dead three thousand
years, nobody will care a ha’pen
ny for our mistakes; and yet
we have made some huge ones.
Possibly it may be worth our
while to inquire and learn what
manner of man this Moses was,
and what were some of the “mis
takes” he made.

The position of Moses in his
tory is well defined; his name was
not unknown. He is mentioned by
Manethro, the Egyptian; by Julian
the Roman emperor; by Porphyry,
the heathen philosopher; by Long
inus, the Greek critic; by Strabo,
the ancient geographer; by Celsus
the opposer of Christianity; by
Justin and Trogus Pompeius, the
historians; by Pliny the Roman
governor and naturalist; by Tac
itus, the annalist; by Juvenal, the
poet and satirist; and Josephus
informs us that the writing of
Moses were sought and obtained
by Ptolemy
Philadelphus,
the
most learned of the Egyptian
kings (B.C. 285-248); and the
scholarly Tertullian testified some
seventeen hundred years ago,
that the writings of Moses in the
original Hebrew, with a Greek
translation were then in existence
in the royal library in the temple
of Serapis in Egypt.
What, then, were some of the
acts of this well-known man,
whose “mistakes” are counted so
very important?
THE WORK OF MOSES
nations,
and
races of his day have perisl—J,
decayed, and rolled down througn
their own vices and their 3ins,
this people with their faith in one
God, their healthful family life,
and their obedience to sanitary
law, have outlived the races that
have oppressed and conquered
them, and are today the healthi
est, purest-blooded
people on
earth, their death rate, even in
the United States of America, be
ing only about half the death
rate of the people at large. The
legislators and statesmen of an
tiquity are forgotten; their lit
erature and laws are lost in ob-
liviou; but the laws of Moses
have been translated into more
languages, read in more lands, and
have influenced more people than
all the laws of ancient monarchs
and legislators combined. Are
these some of the mistakes of
Moses?
Moses was reared in a land of
magnificent temples devoted to
base and obscene idolatries; where
the highest culture of the age
bowed in adoration before sacred
serpents, holy hawks, blessed
beetles,
consecrated
crocodiles,
and divine bulls; where men erect
ed obelisks and adored monkeys,
built pyramids and worshipped
cats! Yet. notwithstanding such an
environment, he proclaimed the
glory of one eternal God, and
led out of Egypt the one nation
which worshipped this one su
preme Creator; and who, in the
midst of the gods of Edom, Phil-
istia, Moab, Babylon and Phenicia,
have as a nation held fast the law
He gave and the truth which they
still proclaim, saying, “Hear, O
Israel: The Lord our God is one
Lord: and thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thine heart
and with all thy soul and with all
thy might.”
Doubtless the wise men of Egypt
pronounced this the great mistake
of Moses’ lifetime. But where are
the gods of Egypt and of those
nations today? They are lost in
oblivion, cast to the bats and
moles, mutilated, battered, crush
ed and buried in the ruins of
their own tenples, or gathered as
curiosities to the British Museum
and put down in a cellar because
they are unfit to be seen by day
light. If all the gods of all those
lands there is not one today wor
shipped by any mortal man; while
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob, proclaimed by Moses and
worshipped by Israel, is known in
every quarter of the earth, and
reverenced by millions of devout
worshipers.
