It is necessary for me to do considerable traveling by air­ plane. If I were toi die in an air accident, would a claim be paid on. my iNSLI policy? A. Yes, as there are no re­ strictions on NSLI concerning travel. Up From Shame The great hour of the fall fes­ tival had come. It is October, Jerujpalem, in the year 32 A.D. You see Jesus rise up to tell the listening throng—If any man thirst, let him come to Me and drink. He that believeth in Me, from within him shall flow rivers of living water. So he bid them believe on Him, bring Him in, to be blessed and be a blessing. Now come on down to our day and see Chas. Crittenden, riqh man, mourning at the grave of his wife and only child, Florence. But Crittenden was blessed by faith in Christ and the blessing was to flow on to others. It took shape in a memorial to the daugh­ ter — The Florence Crittenden Homes. They were for girls who would escape the life of shame in the red light section. Only eternity can tell how many girls have been rescued, city by city, across the nation. Yes, Charlie Crittenden drank of that life-giv­ ing stream and there flowed out the blessing. But God cannot bless us while we have sin charged against us. So it is that he sent his Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ, to die for us and clear our page.—Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow. While you count your sins blotted out by the blood of Christ, are you the selfish Chris­ tian or are you the channel of blessing? S. W.

Congress soon will enact a strin­ gent law banning strikes against the government by its employes. It is embodied in a ‘rider” to the agricultural appropriations bill which is certain of enactment. Naval Military Positions Open Representative Walter Norblad (R-Ore.) announces that the first congressional district of Oregon will have in 1947 two vacancies at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapo­ lis, Maryland, and two vacancies at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, New York. On July 24, 1946, the civil ser­ vice commission will hold a pre­ liminary qualifying examination to determine the eligible candi­ dates of the first Oregon district, which embraces Benton, Clacka­ mas, Clatsop, Columbia, Lincoln, Marion, Polk, Tillamook, Washing­ ton, and Yamhill counties. Congressman Norblad stated the qualifying examination is open to all candidates within the eligible age including those who are serv­ ing with the armed forces, and that arrangements will be made for servicemen to take the exam­ ination at whatever place they are serving on July 24, 1946, whether in the United States or overseas. Candidates for admission to the Naval Academy miist be not less than 17 years of age nor more than 21 years of age on April 1, 1947, unless they have served honorably for one year in the armed forces in which event the age is increased to 23 years. Can­ didates for the military academy are eligible for admission from the day they are 17 until the day they become 22 years of age, on which latter day they are not eligible, unless they have served honorably for one year in the armed force's and then they may be 24 years of age. Candidates for both academies must be actual residents of the First Oregon Dis­ trict and must never have been married. In order to make the required arrangements, applicants must no- tify Congressman Walter Norblad, 338 House Office Building. Wash­ ington 25, D.C., in writing not later than June 30 of their desire to participate in the examination. In the case of applicants in the armed forces, preliminary noti­ fication may be sent to the con­ gressman by their parents or guardians, and should include the full name, present address, and serial number of the servicemen. • A total of 20,000.000 American men and women wear spectacles.

HCKEXI5 SEE ONLV in PAyriME,.,.. WHEN THE LIGHT FAILS, TWEV FALL ASLEEP *Bloody Murder . . . The yells are like those which rise from the lungs of a gent who has suddenly found his shirt tail is on fire. The simple cause is a powerful advertisement on the lumber supply of this green land in the June 8 issue of Amer­ icas’ greatest and oldest national weekly periodical. This paga tejls that our forest region has 14 and % million acres of saw-timber, “enough to rebuild every home in America.” It goes on to say that “great quantities are being harvested to meet the housing emergency. And more new trees are growing. Timber is a crop. America has a per­ manent lumber supply.” That is all true and fair enough. The copy forms fine promotion to the nation for the two North­ west states, and this is even more true of the forest picture that glorifies the page with appealing scenic beauty. Then, why the yells of bloody murder? It is in the fact that this mes­ sage to millions of Americans ad­ vertises lumber at a time when consumers and dealers are beg­ ging for lumber, and often in vain. To be sure, this dire short­ age is recognized and stated in the message, with emphasis on the fact that all building materi­ als are in short supply and that people are standing in line for carpenters and bricklayers. Faith in the Future . . . On this I have a letter from an old anil cherished friend who is the official representative of some two thousand, retail lumber dealers in a far part of the coun­ try. He cites their gaping lumber bins and predicts bad moments for most of them when customers, all excited by the beautiful and inspiring advertisement, call to buy some of the advertised lum­ ber. “By the time one of my dealers gets through explaining politely to a disappointed customer that he must still stand in line for lumber, he will be in a mood to protest profanely to me and to West Coast lumber manufacturers concerning their advertising at this time,” writer my friend. And now there are cries of bloody murder from some. Yet not a few dealers are cheering the bold project. And the major­ ity of retail lumber dealers are holding their peace. So strong is my faith in them and in such leaders as my old friend that I am sure that in their hearts they are for this faith-in-the-future program of the major industry 18-YEAR-OLD GIRL of Oregon and Washington—the SETS PICKING RECORD industry that draws on four-fifths GRESHAM—When it comes to of the region's land area for its picking strawberries, Miss Doro­ supply of material.

The country has never had greater need for such declarations of faith. The W’est Coast lumber industry is doing its part. NAZARENE CHAPEL The church that cares. —H. L.
