Thursday, March 30, 1944 4 Vernonia Eagle Comments of The Week THE POCKETBOOK of KNOWLEDGE ’ TOPPS Evangelical Church An Excellent Idea Is Presented The city council heard an idea, presented at its last meeting, that the city play ground be enlarged not only to include the swimming pool with its life guard, but to include also facilities for tennis, basketball, football, volley ball, horseshoes, etc. The enlargement would uti lize the grounds, which have never been fully developed in the past, to the utmost. Now is the time when added facilities for recreation are needed more than in normal times. The proposed enlargement will serve well in two capaci ties: one , to provide enjoy ment to those who have neither the time nor gas to travel to other recreation spots; the other, to provide entertainment and instruc tion for children who will have more time during sum mer months when not in school. This latter purpose of an enlarged play ground will go far toward lessening the in creasing amount of child de linquency which has seem ingly developed with the ad vent of war. Vernonia is fortunate to have the ground space con veniently located and suffic iently large to accomodate any additions of recreation equipment that may be made. The space is great enough that several of the suggested games could be played at one time. And Ver nonia is fortunate in another respect, that an instructor, well acquainted with such work, is available for th,e summer and is willing to de vote his time thereto, rather than seek work which would probably pay him consider ably more money. It is hoped that the sug gestion can be put into prac tice to the fullest.

The escapee had given another man’s name when he registered, but he made the mistake of picking the name of a companion in the jail break. The escapee, with a companion, was not arrested, however, before he had looted collection boxes in two churches and prowled several cars. He was turned over to Mult nomah county authorities Tues day and the youth who was caught with him was turned over to Clatsop county officials. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY GIVEN ATTENTION TILLAMOOK — Under the aus pice., of the State Medical Soci ety, a meeting was held in Port land last Thursday at the YMCA building, the purpose of which was an attempt to encourage co operation between members cf the Alcoholics Anonymous and the Juvenile Delinquensy commit- tees in an attempt to curb juv enile delinquency problems in the state. It was felt that the same ideals which hold the former group to gether, and which have been of great help to them might in some manner be of the same benefit to the juvenile delinquents. Over a hundred were in attend ance, a number from Tillamook county and seven from Tillamook city.

Mass production of war material by American industry has brought down the cost of e- quipment and supplies an average of 20 per cent from the levels of two years ago, according to War Department announcements. . . . Senator O’Mahoney (D. Wyo.) who believes that peace “is much closer than most of us imagine,” has called upon industry to speed up its plans for reconversion, warning that pent-up demands for consumer goods will not be suf ficient to assure an easy transfer to peacetime economy. . . . The American farmer got 53 cents out of every consumer dol lar spent during 1943, the Dept, of Agriculture says, in estimat ing that the average working man spent $447 for food, compared to $398 in 1942.............

KIWAN1S-ROTARY From whence did the Kiwanis, Rotary and the rest of the lunch clubs come? Was it not out of the hour when Christ washed the disciples feet and set us an example of cerviee to fellowmen? By serving we grow great, for, said He- “Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your servant.” Christ was both Servant and Creator. For when the storm raged, He cried- “Peace! Be still!” and the wind and the waves o- ■beyed His will. All was quiet, for- “The sea is His and He made it.” See Ps. 95:5. So Christ came among us as Servant and Creator, as God and Man. At the end He took our sins and died under them to clear our page, that the Father might receive tis himself. No man cometh to the Father bit by me,” said He. This instant Christ stands at the door of your heart and knocks. Bid Him in and life begins for you. I can do all things through Christ who giveth ma strength, said the Apostle Paul.
