Thursday, September 21, 1944 Vernonia Ea c J. Definite Purpose of Health Association Explained BIBLE MILLENNIUM . Part 2 Remarks Monday evening following the meeting of the Columbia county public health association brought out the fact that many people present were not informed as to the association’s work and pur pose. Probably the most commonly mistaken idea is that the association is not a part of the Red Cross. That error was corrected for those present by an ex planation by Mrs. Sadie Orr Dunbar, who told of the organization and its accomplishment. Tuberculosis was at one time the most destructive disease of human life but due to money derived from Christmas Seal sales and the uses to which that money has been put, tuberculosis has now dropped to seventh place, six other diseases being more de structive. Many people have purchased Christmas Seals in past years but have not known the definite purpose to which those seals are devoted. Learning that pur pose and the advancement made makes the purchase of seals a welcome duty. 1 <J Axa Save Your Waste Paper Although no move has been taken here for the col lection of waste paper which is vitally needed for production of packing cases, home owners are urged to save newspapers and magazines for a collection which will be made by J. R. Lee. Waste paper is now considered one of the vital needs for the manufacture of items such as packing cases and wrapping paper which can be used for the transport of war supplies. No collection has been made here for some time and most homes probably have a considerable supply of paper on hand that could be tied and made ready for the collection. Mr. Lee will collect the paper on his weekly house- to-house tour for the collection of garbage. Those having paper can help the war effort a lot by placing it where he can get it at those times. I Events in Oregon SCHOOLS OF CITY SHOW BIG GAINS HILLSBORO — The union high and grade schools show a substancial increase in enrollment with the opening of the new term, according to school offi- cials. Union high school has 700 stu- dents enrolled as against 670 fofr the same period in 1943. Hills- boror’s three grade schools had a total of 761 students enrolled in contrast with 732 a year ago. CANDIDATE NUMBER NIL FOREST GROVE — Voters will have to follow the example of the republican and democratic conventions this year and draft candidates. With September 18 at 5 p.m. as the final date for filling of petitions for candidates for mayor for a term of two years and three members of the council for four years, there has been no action taken to date. The city hall reports that there has not- been a single request for a petition as yet. SOLDIERS SEND FOR BALLOTS TILLAMOOK — Inquiry at the county cleyk’s office reveals the fact that to date, 232 absent voters, most of them soldiers, have written in for absent voters ballots. Envelopes are ready to send them to the soldiers in time for their return to the United States. Every day, 25 or 30 re quests come to the clerk's office through the postoffice, so the number is expected to reach 300 or more in Tillamook county. LARGE WASTE PAPER TONNAGE RETRIEVED HILLSBORO — Approximate ly 25 tons of waste paper was brought in Saturday of last week as Hillsboro's part to help re- lieve the nation’s No. 1 salvage problem, according to County Chairman W. G. Ide of Hillsboro. A special drive is planned for local business houses this week when each one will be contacted in an effort to clean up every possible source of waste paper including old newspapers, mag azines, books and cartons. Washington Snapshots Farmer and housewives are beneficiaries of early reconver sion efforts. The WPB announc es that farm machinery with a total value of $73,595,553 was produced during July. WPB also lifted restrictions which have been standardizing types of domestic cooking appliances and heating stoves. . , In a case involving a pay raise of three cents an hour for 650 employes of the Acme Rubber Co., Trenton, N.J., the majority of the WLB ruled that considera tion of the employer’s financial position “would make a nullity of the Congressional wage pol icy.” Industry members of WLB dissented. . . Apparently intent upon ridding business and industry of govern ment controls as quickly as pos sible after peace comes, the House Ways and Means Commit tee has decided tentatively to limit to one year the reconversion machinery now being set up by Congress. . . Sentiment in favor of dispos ing of surplus war property thru commercial channels instead of directly to consumers is growing stronger in Congress. The House has tentatively assented an a- mendment to the disposal bill to make it mandatory to dispose of such governement property thru commercial channels.

KID SALVAGE 14V Jeep Sawmill . . . After forty years of seeing near-miracles wrought by loggers and sawmill men in improvising various items of power production in woods and mills. I ought to be past amazement by same. But here I am, bugeyed again at the ingenuity of the timber mechanic, after a visit to a two-man saw mill that can -jjut 4000 board feet in eight hours. Generally Fritz Pearson and Paul Barlow, the owners and operators, get along on 3,000 feet per day, for they are men who expect some thing from life besides backaches and spondulicks. As a key to what I mean, the power plant of the Pearson Mill Company is a Cadillac motor, while the log carriage is con trolled through a Model T Ford transmission. You know the sleepy crawl of the usual little mill carriage. This one, you’d think it had a shotgun feed. Yet the cutting is precise lumber manufacture. The big motor has an overflow of power. Another gas engine snakes the little logs up from the pond, and yet anoth er operates a small cutoff saw. There is the cutest conveyer you ever did see, which elevates the sawdust to a bin set for fil ling fuel trucks. And yet more contrivances and gadgets. Pretty soon partners Pearson ad Barlow will have a crane for loading their lumber truck, and an edger. More fun! A jeep sawmill, and in its way as 'wonderful as the Army’s jeep. “Haywire Hill” . . . The loggin«” show was a quar- ter-mile up the canyon, centering on a mountain-side of prime second growth. The rings on the biggest sticks decked at the land ing showed an age of 68 years. Most of the round stuff was younger and smaller, with size and duality demonstrating that marketable timber can now be grown within 50 to 60 years. The humidity was pretty low, so the outfit wasn’t logging the day I was up. I hope to see it working some time. The spar tree, one of the 68-year-olds in the stand, was at least 125 feet tall. The donkey at its base was powered by a Studebaker truck motor (no advertising intended). The setting looked fit for clean ing up the whole mountain which was called—I wonder why—“Hay wire Hill.” There you have the Douglas fir lumber operation of the future. There are ten thousand like it in the Southern pine states. A Program Needed . . . The portable and other small sawmills of today are but little improved over those I chored around as a boy in the maples and oaks of southern Iowa. I’ve seen hundreds, but never one with the efficiency of the home designed and home made rig of the Pearson Mill Company—one in which gadgets reduce strong- arm labor to a trifle. Surely the industrial brains that produced the military jeep can produce a standear jeep sawmill as effi cient as Fritz Pearson’s. Logging rigs for use in second growth might be produced, too, it seems to me, at a cost that would make them available to the mass market of gypo log gers. Most of all. surveys and studies are needed in the Douglas fir region on all angles of the util ization of second growth in ac-" cordance with forestry princi ples; on the planning of such operations; on their relation to the concent-ation yard and re manufacturing plant of the times to come. The war lumber market has revived the small sawmill. It has al=o caused over-cutting in our second growth of sawtimber sizes. There are problems in the field that really need looking after righ now, aside from the plan ning for the day when supplies for the forest industries will be mainly in the second-growth forests. Dad Puts ’Em To Bed How shall we escape if we ne glect so great salvation? • Supper is on. Up you go kid dies and Dad jumps them into their chairs. After the meal, Dad puts them to bed. Now comes a pillow fight or a story or is it a romp? Whatever it is, they get fat on it. And all day long, they feast on Mother’s love without knowing how much. It was even so in the days when Christ walked among men. The big folks brought up the needfuls and the kiddies just knew that all things would be provided. Christ’s alert eye took it all in and He used it to show God as the Great Giver and that we are to open our hearts and receive of his vast plenty.

Said the grade school boy, nelt morning after he had received Christ as Savior- If there is anything in this new life, let God now take away my cigs and swearing. And Christ was there to do it. That was forty years ago and oaths and a lot more have been out to this day. THREE—But God has still more. It is your destiny out in eternity.
