Thursday, June 29, 1944 4 Events in Oregon HOUSE EVERY.40 MINUTES IS RECORD TOLEDO — Army censorship restrictions on the manufacture of prefabricated houses, shipped from Toledo in sections for emer gency installations, was lifted recently, according to the Lincoln County Leader, Said to be the largest house prefabrication job of its kind in the entire country, the work is under supervision of the Prefab rication Engineering company’s Toledo division, operating tin con junction with the C. D. Johnson mill. Completed homes are being turned out at the astonishing rate of 16 each day. Each house as shipped in two, three or four sections on huge truck-trailer units, has either one, two or three-bedrooms and is completely furnished down to beds, chairs, stoves and refrigera tors. Manufactured for the army, which needs such houses in a hurry, the revolutionary method of construction is turning out a fully completed house—painted, furnished and with linoleum laid and plumbing and firing install ed—at the rate of one each 40 minutes.

' ASSOCIATION X i GwrrreRLAHP W5 W When our soldiers successfully stormed Hitler’s European fort ress and chased his Huns out of Rome, it was the beginning of the end of the Austrian house painter’s reign of terror. But for our industry, more than three years ceaselessly turn ing out the munitions and war goods of victory, it was (to para phrase Winston Churchill) “the end of the beginning.” Industry’s job for the invasion has been largely done and, al though it still has a big produc tion job ahead to keep the pipe lines filled, it has the right to ask: '“Where do wre go from here?” Severe and dangerous crises face the heme front unless the plans for reconversion from war to peacetime production move much more quickly in the next FIRST CLASS RATE WON four months than they have in BY POST OFFICE TILLAMOOK—The Tillamook the past.

THE POCKETBOOK o/ KNOWLEDGE “Go call thy husband.” “I have no husband!” “Quite right,” said Jesus “for thou hast had five husbands and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband.” So Jesus told the woman of sin, that day at the well of Sychar. The townspeople gave this woman wide berth. No one spoke as she, passed by. Yet Jesus had no rebuke for her nor for the thieves and criminals who sat at meat with Him. For Jesus came not to condemn men but to seek and to save that which is lost. Judgment comes later and to all who reject His saving work. All have sinned and all are lost and how does Christ save the lost? When manhood is gone and the will power burned out, how does He save them? Th« answer is: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” KNOW YOUR BIBLE Acts 16:31. Believe in Christ as the Sa viour who died under your sins to clear you with God. And name Him the Lord of your life. Deliver yourself over to Him. See Christ only. Trust Him ut terly. Name Him your All in All. Make Him the sum total of your life. Live by Power from on High.

Who Wants A Ranch Rona Morris W orkman Vernonia, Oregon My daughter remarked the other day. as she was fighting a stubborn bolt with a slipping __ _ wrench, that after this war no one would have the slightest dif ficulty in persuading her to go back to a woman’s work. I think she said something there. There are things about this ranching that make us long for the good old days when we did only the housework, even if that did in clude washing dishes three times a day. Two of the worst head aches on a ranch are wrenches that won’t hold and the cattle. A wrench that slips-—and just try to get a new one now—is civilization’s worst gift to man. It can come closer to destroying the last shred of sanity in a human being than anything else unless it may be a cow. A cow, by herself or with others, can drive any sane person to a state of maniacal despair. Sometimes the brutes are almost human. For instance, like some folks I have known, they have ithe con viction that the grass in a neigh bor’s field is much greener and more succulent than that in their own fields. And when a cow gets a that idea, no moral law or wire fence will hold her back. Then your neighbor gets suite wild, but because you are a woman and he is a gentleman and the habits of ygars are strong, he doesn’t come ito you with the free expression of his feelings, but tells the hired man and the neighbors. They, with true human feeling, rush to in- in form you of his mental eondi- tion, and some are often trampled in the attempt to be first with the good news. After they get through with their ver- sion of his words, you go around with blood in your eye for awhile even though you know perfectly well that you would feel and say approximately the same lurid ____ things if you were in his shoes, after awhile, when you think he has had time to cool off a bit, you stick your checkbook in your pocket, don a meek, placating ex pression, and go over to see if you can bind up his festering wound. By this time he has ... __ lost __ the first bloom of his rage and as he looks at the meek, ____ , „ ___ _ lit- gentle tie woman before' him, he smiles —and not badly either—and says it is quite all right, not to worry, it can’t be helped, etc. You knbw he is lying, and he knows that you know he is lying, and you sneak a quick look at his wife. She gives you one in return and you make a mental note to avoid being left alone with her in the future, for she conveys quite plainly that she isn’t having any gentlemanly feelings, especially where another female is concerned. After ilhat you converse briefly about the weather, and then you go home in a condition of violent dislike for anything belonging to the bovine tribe, even if it does have beefsteaks. And you resolve that you’ll write the President and have him exchange you for your marine son in the South Pacific. It seems .‘.c you it would be a _ —3 ' 'io bit of - — rest ---- and 1 relaxation to have nothing to do but shoot Japs while the marine came back here and got the ranch situation well in hand. But you decide that . probably ___ _ __ He wouldn’ . t and the marine couldn’t, so you might as well go out and fix that fence again. After all, i* if your neigh- bor does shoot your cows you won’t have to buy beef this winter, and if he takes 'more careful aim and gets you, then you won’t have to "keep on ranch- ing for the duration, So why worry? SECRET WEAPON the Navy shares tt To lubricate Uncle Sam’s sub marine Diesel engines so they run clean and smooth on long cruises, the Navy uses RPM DELO. The Navy is sharing this "secret weapon" with the home front . . . and RPM DELO is doing a great job in thousands of tractor, truck, marine and stationary Diesel engines. It’s specially com pounded to prevent sludging and gummed-up pistons — it actually cleans and frees rings stuck through use of other oils. Millions of test miles in laboratories and actual service proved that it just about DOUBLES THE TIME BE- TWEEN OVERHAULS. The Navy can’t afford to take chances with its fighting Diesels—and neither can you. Get RPM DELO and you get the all-around lubricant for all Diesels.
