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.

When our soldiers successfully

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

ask: '“Where do wre go from

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

Make Him the sum total of your
life. Live by Power from on

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

that idea, no moral law or wire
fence will hold her back.
Then your neighbor gets suite

woman and he is a gentleman
and the habits of ygars are

You knbw he is lying, and he
