UTILITY STARTS WORK
TO COST $65,000
SEASIDE — Construction pro­
jects which will cost a total of
*t least $65,000 have been start­
ed here by the Pacific Power &
Ught company with the object
of improving service already of­
fered and to reach out to new
customers. The major part of the
project consists of the recon­
struction of the sub-station at a
cost of $45,000.
A new line will improve volt­
age throughout the area as it is
ef considerably larger wire than
the present line. It will also per­
mit the servicing of areas which
might be cut off by storms or
ether causes. It will also make
possible a larger power load in
the area involved.
The line is being “worked hot”
■«which means that the wire is
carrying 2300 volts at all times
while linemen are installing it.
POOL PLANS '
NOVE AHEAD
FOREST GROVE — Selection
ef a construction engineer to
«iraw plans for a city swimming
pool is the next step in the pro­
ject, Mrs. Jack Cate, chairman
■of the park board, said last week.
Half of the $1000 from the
federal government to assist in
making the plans has been re­
ceived. The other half of the
allocated fund is to be obtained
and plans drawn.
When plans are completed, it
will come before the voters in
a bond election.
RAILWAY MAY BE
OPERATING SOON
PRINEVILLE — The City of
Prineville Railway, cut by high
water during the night of De­
cember 28, will be back in oper­
ation soon. -
The flood waters from McKay
creek took out 345ft of the road­
bed, and the railway management
is rushing work on a pile trestle
to take the place of the fill
which was washed out.
Bloody Skull Dance
Around this pyramid of human
skulls, all bloody, dances the
chief of the tribe. He wears a
belt of human heads, also bloody,
and dances, prances, and cir­
cles, as is the way of the head
hunters in this part of Africa.
Then steps up the English M.D.,
Sir Alexandre Clark, to speak
nine words into the chief’s ear
—God had a Son who died for
your sins.” That was all and
the affair went on.
A bit later the chief came to
Dr. Clark to demand—“Tell me
more about God’s Son who died
for my sins.” Dr. Clark says he
spent many moons teaching the
chief who at ilength asked for
baptism. This was refused and
the man went away, to return
later saying he had been back
where he used to hunt heads and
now he went to win souls. He
showed his necklace with many
knots and said that each knot
stood for a soul won. And he
had two of the converts with
him. So the chief came into bap­
tism and that part of Africa
into peace. And it all began with
the nine power words—“God
had a Son who died for your
■ins.”
When your heart grows heavy
repeat them over and over—“God
had a Son who died for my
sins." Over and over until you
can say—“I came to Jesus as I
was. weary and worn and sad.
I found in Him a resting place
and He has made me glad.”

On the Job Training
Veterans’ administration officials
say there is a decided trend among
veterans who are taking advantage
of the provisions of the educational
features of the G.I. bill to get away
from college and university study
in favor of on-the-job training for
various trades. This trend was also
noticeable following World War I.
As of December 1 there were
103,526 veterans taking on-the-job
training or enrolled in colleges and
universities and officials point out
that if the heavy enrollment con­
tinues,
many
schools
will
be
swamped with applications by the
time the fall terms open in 1946.
Disabled veterans are also taking
advantage of Public Law No. 16 and
as of December 1 there were 35,353
in training — 24,126 in schools and
11,227 on-the-job trainees.
The veterans’ administration has
also announced that there are more
than 87,000 veterans, an all-time
peak, receiving hospital treatment
and domiciliary care and with a
tremendous increase hospital facili­
ties are taxed to capacity.
Questions and Answers
Q.—My husband, who has been in
the army for 28 months, who spent

—Navy wife, Thayer, Mo.
A.—The navy allows 10 points for
dependency, regardless of the num­
ber of children. On January 1, 1946,
the navy point score dropped to 36
points for enlisted men and 43 for
officers. The navy announced fur­
ther one point cuts to go into effect
January 15 and February 2.
Q.—My husband will have been
In the army three years the 26th

doctor says he is unable to work.
Is there any way you can help get
a pension?—Wife, Jamison, Ala.

Footnote on a Hero . . .
The passing of General Patton
has brought forth a regiment of
stories about him. He had great
attraction for men of his breed.
Here is a tale of a Patton man
I knew in the short log country,
after the first World War.
Matt Caimody was a machine
gunner in Major Patton’s tank
battalion in that w-ar. Not unt l
after the Armistice was a tank
from home, an American-made
machine, delivered to the out­
fit. It was put to a test, in which
Carmody machine-gunned it from
stem to stern, from tracks to
turret top. No one in the out­
fit had a doubt but what the
tank from home would shed ev­
ery bullet, showing up the Frog
and Limey tanks terrifically.
But the bullets went through
that tank as though it were a
cheesebox. The morale of the
battalion dropped to zero. No
one cared what might happen in
conquered Germany. All swore
to “get” the owner of the com­
pany that made the tank when
they were home, and that would
be the end of the war for them
all. But Matt Carmody alone
carried through, with Patton’s
personal blessing.
Revenge with Fire . . .
The jeb Carmody did on the
tank-making big shot was simple
but smart. By some means he
got into the man’s office. Then,
after saying who he was and
why he was present, he broke a
flask of coal oil on the mag­
nate’s back and with one mo­
tion struck a match to it. Before
the blaz? was put out the vic­
tim’s coat tail and shirt tail
were burned to glory and all the
hide in the vicinity of those gar­
ments was fried nigh on to a
crisp. In the excitement Carmody
walked out. lie came back scot-
free to the
Western
woods,
where he’d been born and bred.
The law was never turned loose
on him.
The story didn’t get into the
news, but all the returned men of
the tank battalion were given a
full report, and I heard it fr<.m
one of them. He said all were
more than
satisfied,
knowing
what a f retrap a cheesebex tank
wc Id have been in actual bat-
t’e, and so thinking it was won­
derful justice for the man res­
ponsible to have had his shirt
tail and environs set on fire.
Every story, of course, ended
with an account of how pleased
Patton was with Carmody’s re­
venge.
Tall Tale. . . .
Matt Carmody barely inched
above five feet, even in boots,
and he was as little in proportion
across the shoulder and around
the neck. Coming down the street
in a pine town he looked like
a boy, but big and tough men
mad? way for him. By reputation
Carmody always packed sticks of
h.e. on him, and blasting caps
to boot, and his temper was
mean.
From such items, fact or fan-
cv, tall tales had grown about
h’m. One was that he had been
seen to peel a stick of dynamite
and eat it—raw—like a banana.
A bigger and better one was
about how Carmody was once
shanghaied into firing a legging
lokey.
He went peaceably to
work, all right, but primed his
jaws with percussion caps and

spit one into the f rebox every
time he heaved in pine knots As
this tale went on, the lokey
leaped in a convulsion with ev-
e y shot. One snapped the ca-
boos? off on a trestle curve. Then
drawbars were pulled all along
the log train. At the end of
the run Carmody spit all the
caps he had left into the firebox,
and the lokey made one final
leap clean over the roundhouse.
From this Carmody got an ad­
ded title — “The Man Who
Goosed a Locomotive.” There
were other stories. All formed
an example of how the Paul
Bunyan fables must have begun
in the pineries of the Lake
States.
