4 Thursday, January 4, 1945 Vernonia Eagle Observe Safety Patrols to Cut Danger of Accidents The year just completed has been a time of in creased traffic accidents among children from ages 5 to 14 years who have been struck while playing in or near streets. Report of the increase has been made public by the secretary of state’s office and men tions that for the first ten months of 1944 there were 29 fatalities among children in the 5-14 age group as compared to 17 for the same period of 1943, an in crease of 71. per cent. This area has been fortunate for a considerable period of time with traffic accidents involving child ren and it is hoped that such will continue to be the case. A potential point of danger here is the safety lane crossing at the Washington school, but that lane has been guarded during school hours by junior safety patrols which undoubtedly have prevented ac cidents at that place. Similar patrols at crossings near other schools in the state have been successful in preventing fatalities and have been highly commend ed by the secretary. He mentions further: “ . . .As the use of these patrols increases, I believe we will see an improvement in this situation.” It might well be added that the exercise of great er care when driving through safety lanes and on streets where children are at play will also go far towards reducing these accidents.

It is no longer I that live., but Christ liveth in me. said the Apostle Paul. Live an overcoming life The G. I. Bill of Rights . . . After the Civil War the Union Veterans took over the running of the Federal Government and the States. It had been a bloody, bitter long war, and the- men who had fought and bled were not disposed to forget their sac rifices. The years of battle had set them apart from civilians who had, for the most part, pro fited from the war. To appease the Union soldiers while the war was on, the Homestead Act was passed. Government lands were opened to entry, so that a cit izen could earn possession of 160 acres or less by occupation for five years and meeting certain other conditions. The vet erans demanded a reduction of the time required to “prove up,” and it was shortened to three years. Then came the drive for pensions. In World War I even those of us who were a year and a half in France sacrificed but lit- le. Those who went through the hell of the front line trenches had but three or four months of it. Few of us came back as a tribe apart, as the Civil War vet erans had done. We were pleased to “adjusted compensation”, aft er some years, to make up for wages lost while we were in un form. Now our civilian lawmakers in Washington have produced a so-called G. I. Bill of rights. It may be compared to the Home stead Act passed during the Civ il W’ar. That turned out to be only a drop in the bucket in comparison with what the Union veterans wanted—and got. And it is a good bet that the present G. I. act will prove to be as in sufficient. Home« for Veteran« . . . These boys of ours who have been away for so long, becoming men and hell-for-leather fighters are going to take over the run ning of the country in 194X, just as Grant and his boys took over in 1868. The certainty of this grows stronger the longer the war lasts and the bloodier it becomes. We at home should face this certainty for what it is. and plan and work according to its dictates, for all that is good in it and against all that is bad. Consider the provision for Government insurance of loans up to $2,000, to aid the veterans of this war in becoming- home owners. Every man of extended service that I’ve talked to feels that if Congress could do no bet ter than that on the home loans for veterans it should have done nothing at all. Here we are, in view of the soldier, with swollen incomes and savings, most of us certain of having more than enough for basic home financing after the war—that is, the down payment. The veteran who takes up the G. I. Bill of Rights home loan proposition will, in effect, be by power from on high. 3101 S.W. McChesney Road, Port land 1, Oregon.

What We Can Do . . . All authorities agree that, in the average American communi ty, the first business and em ployment of peace will be home ■repairs, remodeling and mod- ernizing, and then new home building, There is a real need, therefore, in every community for planning on these two jobs. That is the need that the home planners institute, originated by West Coast lumbermen and now sponsored nationally by the na tional Retail lumber dealers as sociation, was formed to meet. Close to a hundred cities have home planners institutes in -op eration. The State University is behind the program in Illinois. In Arizona labor unions are the sponsor. The HPI pattern is flex ible and may be adjusted to any community or sponsorship. Every institute has two func tions which the program requires. First, the promotion of the sale of War Bonds, earmarked for home building or remodeling aft er the war. Second, the formation of study classes and the presenta tion to them of educational lec tures on the phases of the homes. If the home loan provision in the G. I. Bill of Rights is a feeble civilian gesture on a prob lem that will certainly demand strong action, as most service men believe, then the first re medial move should be the devel opment of public information on the postwar home. This is why in every communty the home plan ners institute has real work to do right now, aside from its ser- vice in the promotion of war bond sales. At the Churches ST. MARY’S CATHOLIC Rev.

Part 1 “The literature of the centur- ies reveals that men in general have tenaciously clung to the belief that (hey possess within themselves an immortal essence that is as enduring as eternity itself. They think that regardless of how their earthly sojourn shall end—whether they be dragged down to the grave by disease, or engulfed in the sea and eaten by sharks, or devoured and digested by a raving lion, or consumed to ashes by a raging fire, or blown to bits by a bursting bomb— theirs is a ceaseless existence. Death is a familiar occurrence, a daily phenomenon. Everthing that one can do to prolong his days in this world gives him no guaranty against this implac able enemy. The Grim Reaper lies in wait for us continually, * and sooner or l*ter he will get us all, unless a miracle by Di- vine Providence should stay his hand. Death is one of the most sol- emn realities of this world, one that the most obstinate atheist cannot deny. It respects no one. The proud and jewel-bedecked millionaire in his palace and the ragged and filthy tramp on the road—both must bow to the command of this enemy of our kind. In order to know what is the state of the dead, it is necessary that we understand the nature of the living.

This creative act consisted of combftiing the breath of life from God with the dust taken from the earth. Combined by the creator, these TWO things became a living soul. The elements which compose our body come from the dust of the ground. We cannot explain how God made the first human organism. He has not revealed that secret to us in the Good Book. Moreover, we are not ca pable of understanding se ience so profound as that. The fact is, however, that we see, in another way, this phenomenon repeated before our E.ves every day. When we eat the vegetables, fruits, and grains which the earth brings forth, we assimilate the chemical elements thus taken from the dust of the ‘ ground, and these are transformed in to blood, flesh, bones, nails, hair, brains, and various parts of the body. Our wsest men cannot fully explain to us the secret of this daily conversion of soil el ements into living Nhuman sub stance. The breath of life proceeds from God Himself, ari’d is the motive power of the human or ganism. When God made the first man from the dust of the ground, He produced a perfect body. But it had no life within it, and could not move in the least degree. Thereupon the Creator took that lifeless form and breathed into its nostrils the breath of life. Then the organ ism began to live—the heart beat.ng, the blood circulating, the lungs breathing, the muscles twitching with strength, the ab dominal organs working, and the brain faculties functioning.
