Speed Up Diecharge With the rate of discharges from the armed forces soon expected to exceed 500,000 .per month, several organizations, among them the American Red Cross, are taking steps to expand services to the vet erans to make easier the path from uniform to civilian clothes. The latest move of the Red Cross Is the enlargement of the field di rectors' staffs In hospitals and the installation of full-time paid field di rectors in veterans administration hospitals to work with Red Cross volunteers now serving in these hos pitals. Many veterans in their haste to get home often pass up the service available at hospitals and separation centers and often regret their haste, for the army and navy and other organizations have provided trained personnel to inform the veteran ot all his rights, to help him plan his future and to advise him in many fields. He should take advantage of these facilities. Question* and Answers Q. What members of an army man's family are eligible for medical care? Mrs. I.

They used to burn these lands to make good hunting grounds. The Indians would starve for the lack of ber ries and other foods that grow well In burns.” The venerable and wise Mr. Al len continued with remarks of pertinence to the coming hunting season. My good friends, Fire Wardens Harry Clark and Bill Haggerty, have reported them. “Lands were burned over to make pasture for game year after year.” Mr. Allen said, “and for Potlatch. There was no certain burning time. When blueberry and huckleberry vines were old and fruitless, they were burned. “No one can remember when the first forest fire was set in our country. We did not think to grow new trees on the burns be cause the Indians had all the old trees we could ever need. “We used dead trees for fuel and cedar trees for our boats and houses.

Let Down Thru Roof The crowd looked up to see a man let down trough the roof —down to the very feet of Jesus. The four friends who had brought this paralytic man to be cured of Jesus had found the house packed out. They then edged the man up to the roof, threw back the tiles and lowered him down. Seeing their faith, Jesus told ths man—Take up your bed and walk. The fellow raised himself up, stood and walked off. So the friends had done their part and it was Christ’s turn next. As always to such as trust Him, Christ made good. All through the Bible, it is just so. Man does all he knows and God honors his trust and acts. And we call it a miracle. Take the day when the wind ha 1 whipped up great sea and the boat with Jesus and His people began to fill. The disciples cry out to Christ. See Him rise up, stretch out his arm and command the wind and the waves to still. And they obeyed His will and were still. First, our part and then the part of Christ. OUR PART. We are to trust Christ as having died for our sins and so to have cleared us with God. Trust Him for fullness of life here and now. His part is to receive us. Whoso ever cometh unto me, I will in no wise cast out. His pledge. Christ stands at the door and knocks. Receive Him, and the new life is yours. He enters in. He becomes the Bread of Life. The well of water springing up into eternal life, the Good Shep herd. Which for you? To go on dead to God or to receive the new life in Christ for now and forever?

CHAT ’N NIBBLE WELDING AND BODY WORK THE UNIVERSAL FAVORITE “Every year when I was a boy we burned over our pasture land and Potlatches. Potlatch means to give,” the ancient Indian gentlemen told the Wardens. “A man would grow great in th? eyes of brother Indians after get ting for himself much, much food and cattle, and then holding Pot latch, He would call in the In dians from neighboring camps and there would be great feasting for days until at last the Potlatch host would again be poor and have to make a new start. But for his generosity he would be highly honored, as a chief. “Those berry, hunting lands and Potlatches soon became dense with young forests when they were no longer burned. Now that the white man has found such need for growing trees, we can never again hope to look upon the land as hunting grounds to be burned over from time to time. We Indians recognize the ' great needs of the white man This space paid for by Oregon- for growing forests because thev Washington people. If you wish a have become our needs also.
