RED CROSS’ COUNTY
DRIVE SAID LAGGING
M’MINNVILLE — The Re'.
Cross collections in Yamhill coun
ty were lagging badly last week
as Fund Drive Chairman Rev. C.
C. Barnes issued an appeal f r
greater effort on the part cf con
tributors and workers. Collecrions
for the 1946 fund drive on
Wednesday had totaled only
$5593.35 as compared with $15,-
439.17 on hand at the same
time in 1945.
Quota for the county "this
year has been set at $15,000, a
lower figure than those of war
years.
REGISTERED VOTE
IN STATE SLUMPS
SALEM—The total registra
tion of Oiegon voters for the
forthcoming primary election will
be approximately eight per cent
less than the previous primary it
is estimated by David O’Hara,
superintendent of elections in the
office of secretary of state.
He attributes the slump to the
closing down of war industries
and the return of war workers
to their former homes.
INSULUATION COMES
FOR FOODS UNIT
FOREST GROVE—Insulation
for the freezing room and re
frigerators at the new Hudson-
Duncan plant now under con
struction on Second avenue NE
has been inloaded.
Total of
eight carlrads of cork has been
received ready for the time it
will be used in the walls of the
freezing room.
FISH, GAME GROUP
BEING ORGANIZED
WILLAMINA—Several sports
men met in Sheridan last week
and set up an organization
known as the Tri-County Fish
and Game club that will promote
the p eservation and conserva
tion of wildlife. Th? group is
encouraging the active support of
sportsmen from the local area,
neludrng Yamhill, Polk and Til-
smcok counties.
It is the opinion of many
portsmen that far some time
onservation and preservation cf
vildlife in the region ha< beon
leglected. And it is through this
arganization that sportsmens of
the tri-county area hope to bring
abcut better fishing and hinting.
School Room Prayer
—“I make a prayer and read
the Bible each day as school
opens and out of it we have def
inite good.” So said the teacher
of the one-room country school.
Yes—they honor the Lord and
says he—"Them that honor me
I will honor and they the despise
me shall be 1 ghtly esteemed.”—
Bible.
Now turn to New Guinea in
the South Pacific where the kid
dies in the public schools are
taught to read out of the Bible
as their text book. And it was
only just yesterday that the Gos
pel came to the Island and lifted
their fathers out of cann.balism.
Step in and listen as they real
how Christ showed the love of
God for the common peapie. Yes,
the common people who forever
'lave lived inder the curse of
•ags, diseaie and superstition.
Listen as they read how Christ
nnde t ie blind to see, the lame
Io walk and raised the dead back
Io life. For God was in Christ.
God in a human body setting
forth his love for the people.
Follow on to the great day when
He bowed His holy head in death
to clear such of us as accept Him
as Lord and Savior.
And what for our kiddies in
this America of broken homes,
crimes, li st, drink, profanity? Let
them learn how God yearns to
win them also. Get them up a
bit earlier—gather them round
•—turn to Luke’s Gospel, chap.
8:21-25 and read how Christ
proved Himself the Creator by
speaking to the waves and quiet
ing them.
So do and better
days are on the way.

“The Second Chance”
It It Scriptural?
PART FIVE
No one who ever lived was
more opptsed to the teaching of
another chance for salvation
after Christ’s second coming than
our Lord Himself, and no or.e
ever condemned it mere strong
ly than He. And Christ is to
be o.r teacher and our Example.
Let us read .ome of His divine
warnings against this deception
which is naturally so popular
with the human heart. The first
is in Luke 12:45,46.—
Their conviction was strength
ened by Chester Bowles’ testi
mony before the hbuse banking
and currency committee, to say
nothing of other recent develop
ments.
“But and if that servant say
in his heart, my Lord delayeth
His coming; and shall beg n to
beat the manservants and maid
ens, and to eat and drink, and to
be drunken; the Lord of that
servant will ccme in a day when
he lroketh not f r him, and at an
hour when he is not aware, and
will cut him in sunder, and will
appoint him his portion with the
unbelievers.”
Do you notice what He says
here? He plainly states that the
servant whg is not ready for His
master to come will sha’-t the
portion of the UNBELIEVERS.
And what does the Bible say
abcut their portion? Here is the
answer in Rev. 12:8. “But the
fearf 1 and unbelieving (notice
the unbelieving) . . . shall have
their part (or port on) in the
lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second
death.” So you see that, accord
ing to the words of Christ, it is
the SECOND DEATH and n t a
SECOND CHANCE which awaits
all, both Jew and Gentile, who
are not ready when our Lord
comes again.
Jesus uses the example of the
destruction of the wicked at the
t me of the flood and cf the de
struction of the cities of Sodom
and Gomorrah as a warning to
those who will be unprepared
when the Lord comes the second
time. Speaking of the days of
Ncah, Jesus sa:d:— “They did
eat, they drank, they married
wives, they were given in mar
riage, until the day that Noah
entered the ark. and the flood
came, and DESTROYED THEM
ALL.
Likewise also as it was in the
days of Lot; they did eat, they
d:ank, they bought, they s Id,
they planted, they budded; but
the same day that Lot went out
of Sodom it rained fire and brim
stone from heaven, and DE
STROYED THEM ALL, EVEN
THUS SHALL IT BE IN THE
DAY WHEN THE SON . OF
MAN IS REVEALED. Luke
17:27-30.
Here we are told that “the
flood came, and destroyed them
all;” that “it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven, and de
stroyed them all.” Then Jesus
makes the application to the day
cf His return, saying: “Even
thus shall it be in the day when
the Son of man is revealed.”
Jesus used these examples to
teach that there will be no sec
ond chance for the wicked after
His second coming.

ARE WE PROUD?
“I’ve been reading another
book,” said thoughtful Bill Hag
gerty, the veteran fire warden,
after I’d caught him cn a rainy
afternoon. “The book tarts off
with a look at the ratio of man
to the land he lives on.
As
you know, that’s an old bug with
me. The land is our l fe. The
machine is'our death. It is for
war and has brought ill to the
land. How to team up land and
machine and work them together
in a good way, is the idea of
this gook.
“Thirty years younger, and I
could go for the idea. Put not
now, in this time.”
The old
woodsman shook his head, then
mused in quiet while he filled
his pipe. “Man has grown too
proud with his infernal ma
chines.” he went on slowly. “Man
is rearing and snorting to get
into another fight w th his jet
planes, rockets, and atom bombs,
while still in agony and bleed
ing from the last war. I hear
war talked everywhere. I Fea-
no peace. And never anything
at the bottem cf the war talk
but the* vanity of the idiot and
the ego of the maniac—that is,
the vanity and ego of machine
cra-ed men.
“Yet the land of the earth is
all we have.
The soil is our
true treasure, and the apes and
fools we are, we blow it vp,
burn it up. plow it foi me dust
storm and the flood, and ther-
wise waste the real gift cf life
on the earth.
Hate for each
other and ruin for the land. Such
is the rule of human kind all
over the world.
Why are wo
proud?
AFTER A FERN FIRE
Thoughtful Bill stared in dis
mal brooding at the splash of
rain against the windows of the
fire hall. The true trouble on
his mind, I knew, was a black
80 acres and more, the result
of the worst fern fire in his dis
trict to date.
At least 80,000
seedling Douglas first has been
burned to death with the fern.
It was just another of the land
clearing fires that ravage mil
lions of America’s forest acres
year after year. The seed trees
on the 80 had been burned too.
The good land would be black
ruin until it could be planted by
hand.
I picked up the little book that
Thoughtful Bill had been read
ing, from his desk. It was a new
one called “Tomorrow’s Trade.”
The author was Stuart Chase. I
looked over the first couple of
pages. Then I read this:
“Our small globe makes its
way through illimitable space
carrying some two billion human
beings in its shallow curtain of
atmosphere. Shallower still is the
layer of humus soil cn which all
land life depend . . . The planet’s
surface ¡3 about 1196 million
square miles. The United States
covers 3 million . . . The over
whelming mass of mankind lives
on the 25 mi Ton square milei
or so where the humus is at least
3 inches thick . . . There is not.
enough to allow recurring waves
of devastation in planetary wars,
or savage onslaughts upon irre
placeable raw materials . .
I read a bit aloud, and re
marked to the old warden that he
was probably thinking of the
fern fire as such a “savage on
slaught.”
THE GREEN HOPE
“f was thinking of more than
that,” said Thoughful
Bill.
“Trees are not an irreplaceable
raw material. They are a green
and growing hope for the earth,
should man once get scared
enough to swallow his lust to
hate and kill his own kind. That
will be a time when undreamed
of ruin will lie upon the one-
eighth of the earth's surface on
which man lives from the soil—
with people everywhere more
scared of starvation than of any
thing else.
“There will still be trees, there
will always be trees,” affirmed
Thoughtful Bill Haggerty. “And
in ruin men will yet have the
know-how to make food from
trees. Then men and machines
may stop being a team for mur
der and suicide and start being a
team for good on the earth. Even
the man-caused forest fire will
be stopped. It all might happen
in due time—say some 97 thou
sand years from now.”

RIVERVIEW
Seme congressmen are wonder
ing whether price controls and
other controls are not creating a
situation where they will be self
perpetuating. As the reimpozltion
of wartime controls—mre thar
six months after VJ day—create.1
new p’oblcms, the new problem*
themselves would seem to lead tc
Etill more controls.
Mr. Bowles’ appearance before
the committee made it clear that
the administration’s new wage
price policy is really nothing new
The only departure of conse
quence from the previous pricing
policy was that henceforth an
employer does not have to- wait
six months before he asks for a
price increase to offset a wage
inc-ease.
OPA, the testimony showed
felt that once volume produeti n
is attained, industry will make
large prefits regardless of the
fact that all cost increases are
not allowed. But many industries
and business feel differently and
this helps explain recent decline:
in production.
