t 4 Thursday, September 28, 1944 Vernonia Eagle Service Club Work Commendable f LEDGE The efforts of one organization here, the Mother’s Service Club, deserves much favorable comment for the work that its members have done since the club’s organization shortly after Vernonia and vicinity began to contribute a lot of men to the armed forces. The club was organized to give what aid it could to the servicemen by providing them with convenienc es and with aid whenever needed. The work has been carried on with a will by club members who have donated their time and much material for the work. The latest project, that of providing a fund for long-distance telephone calls, is also worthy of men tion here. Servicemen stationed at distant points in the country may call their relatives collect and the charges will be paid by the club from the fund, no charge being made to the serviceman or his relatives who are called. nurses *.

The last trains moved over the 19 mile line connecting Prineville with the main lines Sunday night, and the last a- vaileble locomotive went out of »ervice that night. Sidings in and near Prineville w<*re choked wih loaded cars by Wednesday, Manager C. W. Woodruff estimating that at least 100 cars of lumber were awaiting shipment in the meantime, the stockyards near the depot had filled up with cattle and sheep, for this is the peak period for livestock shipments, and Mr. Woodruff estimated about 35 carloads of livestock awaiting shipment. Repairs on the locomo tives were rushed, but it was not possible to resume service until nearly a week had passed. FISHERMAN AID IN BAY CHANNEL CORRECTION TILLAMOOK — A delegation of tne Tillamook Bay Fishermen was present at the last Tillamook city council meeting and regis tered a complaint regarding pol lution of bay waters, saying it vas harmful to the oyster and fish industries and requesting that something be done to elim inate 'the pollution. They also stated that the main channel in the bay is being filled up and a nevz channel is cutting directly through the oyster beds. They stated the Fisherman’s Union had raised $1000 'toward the cost of putting in a fill or jetty across the new channel which would turn the water back into the reg ular channel. They asked for fi nancial assistance from the City Council, stating that $1000 was not sufficient to do the necessary wi rk. 176 ENROLLED FIRST DAY AT HIGH SCHOOL WILLAMINA — A surprise awaited teachers at the high school Monday morning when reg- Ft rat ion figures, expeetd to be in the neighborhood of 140 pupils, soared to 176, and it is expected that a considerable number will be added after the prune harvest and other harvests are completed. Last year’s opening enrollment totaled only 143. Of the 176 en titled this year, 60 are fresh men. COUNTY FALLS SHORT OF BLOOD BANK QUOTA HILLSBORO — Washington county fell below its blood bank quota for the first time in six months, according to the report of Mrs. F. Abendroth, county chairman, only 135 pints of blood were donated Friday, five short of the minimum goal of 140 pints for the day.

Washington Snapshots Emphasizing that private en terprise must be considered our main source of postwar prosper ity, the House Economic Com mittee is advocating a sharp cut in postwar taxes for business and for individuals in the lower and middle income groups. Its recommendations include aboli tion of “double taxation” of cor porate earnings, elimination of the excess profits tax, and re examination of the capitol gains tax 'to encourage venture capital and stimulate a high level of eco nomic activity. The committee re port is regarded as a significant index to what Congress is think ing about postwar policies. . . . Washington is striving to keep industrial home front pol icies in tune with the changing war situation. Acting Chairman Krug of the WPB has announced, in effect, that industrial recon version will not be hampered by government production controls after the fall of Germany. He places the responsibility for early reconversion upon industry, ex pressing unlimited confidence in its ability to do ithe job. “That means, in substance, that our private economy has to carry the ball on the job of reconversion,” Krug declares. . . . Support of legislation to curb the powers of bureaucrats and pro vide an established procedure of court review for all actions and decisions of federal agencies and bureaus is developing in Con- gre-s. Two Senate bills and three House bills for accomplishing these reforms already are pend ing ... . Facing Forest Fire Facts. . . . The 1944 season has shown again how close we may be brought to economic catastrophe by situations of forest fire dan ger beyond all human control. In the week of Sept. 3 a long drouth and dropping humidity formed the worst fire hazard the woods of Washington and Oregon had ever know. An average of 20 new fires daily blazed up dur ing the week. The newspapers on the morning of Tuesday, Sept. 12, reported fires burning every where in the two great forest states, two large ones “out of control” and others threatening to blow up. In the critical dawn of Sept. 12, the wind could have been from the east, devastatingly dry. Instead it blew out of the west, bearing in a drizzle and fog over the Washington Coast and also hoisting the humidity in Oregon. Logger’s luck saved us from another 1933 season, when dire drouth did run on week after week, and was climaxed by the Tillamook fury. Every warden I’ve talked to on the danger says he got through it just by the skin of his teeth. It is time to look the facts of forest fire causes full in the face and to speak out honestly on what we see there. Crime and Misdemeanor .... Forest fire prevention, in real and effective sense, abides in the laws and their enforcement. Right there is the tap root of the pro blem of preventing the man- caused forest fire. This is a grim fact that has never been fully faced and looked in the eye. It is too simple and easy to con sider fire causes in terms of “cigarette flippers”, “careless campers”, and such-like, and to be content with campaigns of kind appeals to the general pub- lis to be “careful with fire.” The KEEP GREEN programs To Cross on Plank In my last hour on earth, I shall throw away all the sermons I ever preached and all the prayers I ever made and all the calls on the sick and all the helps I ever gave.

But their sponsors do not pretend that they have any effect on the sinister minority of vicious criminals and irresponsible conkheads among the people who live in the woods, or work in the woods, or find rec reation in the woods. Criminals and conkheads cause the worst fires. They cannot be touched by any sort of an appeal. Th forest arson they commit can only be reduced by the strong arm of the law with a club in its fist—by full-strength enforce ment of the forest protection laws we already have, through the cooperation of ALL law en forcement agencies, including the courts. The man who deliberately sets a forest fire is a criminal, heart, soul and hide. Under present laws it is well-nigh impossible to con vict a forest arsonist as such. Be cause public opinion still holds the setting of a forest fire to be not a crime but misdemeanor, judges, law officers and law makers commonly consider arson in the woods no crime. 1 The No. 1 Job , . . Such are the facts we need to look into and to grasp with fighting determination to root them out and work them over.

The tough, mean, miserable job we have 'to do is agitation of public opinion into a state that will force public servants to jail the forest criminals and conk heads without mercy. That is the one and only sort of fire pre vention that the worst human sources of forest fires can under stand or will obey. We did not deserve it but in grace, God did it. More of Grace. When you said yes to God and received Christ as Savior and Lord, you had a flock of sinful habits. Now, by his spirit. God and Christ come to keep house in your heart. As you yield to them, your sinful ways drop off, the Bible be comes your delight, prayer the very breath of life and you find yourself living in a new world. So we ask-What is God's grace to you? Do you merely profess Christ or do you actually posess Him? 3101 S.W. McChesney Road, Port land 1, Oregon. This space paid for by an Ore gon business man. The Forum BIBLE MILLENNIUM Part 3 In Gen. 1:2. we have a dis cription of this earth before it became an in habited planet; “And the earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” , , , At the coming of Christ the earth will be left in the same chaotic condition: “Jer.4:23-26. “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form and void; and the heavens and they had no light .... I reheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.” In our King James transla tion of the scriptures, the term “Bottomless Pit” in Rev. 20:1,3. is rendered “abyss” in the Re vised Version, the same also in the Goodspeeds and Moffats translations: and the word “deep” in Gen. 1:3. is translated “abyss” in Gcodspeeds and Mof fatts, and we know what is meant by the word “deep” as there used; it is applied to 'this earth in its chaotic state. Precisely this we believe it means in this third verse f Rev. 20 . At this time, let it be born in mind, 'the earth is a vast charnel-house of desola tion and death. The great earth quake has leveled to the earth the mightest works of man; the burning glory attending the com ing of the Son of man has borne its part jn accomplishing the gen eral desolation; the wicked have been given to the slaughter, and their bodies lie unburied, and ivnlamented, from one end of the earth to the other. Jer. 25:33. Thus is the earth made empty and waste, and turned upside down. Isa. 24:1. Rev. 6:14-17. “And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every moun tain and every island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bond man, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; an dsaid to the mountains and rocks: fall onus, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb; for the great day of his wraith is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Isa. 2:10-21. “Enter into the rock, hide thee in the dust, for the fear of the Lord, and for the glory qf his majesty. The lofty looks of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day. Fortlie day of the Lord of Hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low.............. And 'they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his Majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth; in that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, to the moles and to the bats: to go into the clefts of 'the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord and for the glory of his Majesty, when he arise th to shake terribly the earth.” Surely these are convincing scriptures that tell us of the condition of the earth at the second coming of Christ. Let us now turn our attention to 'the binding of Satan, brought to view in Rev. 20: 1-3. Notice that the removal of his power to “deceive the nations” is the thing that constitutes the binding of Satan; it is a representation in symbols, but Satan is truly bound. There is not a huuman soul on which he can bring to bear his arts of deception. He is bound in this prison house of a wrecked and desolate world, ruined by sin. The phrase “bottomless pit” means a waste or void, an abyss; and that is what this world is for a thousand years. The earth desolate and under the curse of sin, and no man left in it, that is a fit pit or prison for the holding of Satan. But after the thousand years “he must be loosed a little sea son.” Rev. 29:3. The binding was in the re moval of his power to deceive. The loosing, then, would come with the resurrection of the wick ed, giving him opportunity again to ply his arts of deception. Two texts show how these two evets - the resurrection of the wicked and the loosing of Satan - are effected at the same time. First, “the rest of the dead” ('the -wicked) lived not again un til the thousand years were fin ished.” Rev. 20:5. Second, therefore, “when the thousand years are expired, Sa tan shall be loosed out of his prison.” Verse 7. Satan is bound for a thousand years by circumstances, as you migh say: my way was complete ly hedged up; my hands were tied etc. or a combination of circumstances made it possible for you to act. Just s ohere; and why will not people grant to the Bible the same liberty of speech thait they give without question and without ridicule to their fel low-men in the common inter course of life?
