THE POCKETBOOK OF KNOWLEDGE
Christ created man, angels,
archangels, the world and the uni

says the Bible. And He is not
only Creator but also Redeemer.
For in the fulness of time, you
see Him strip off His glory nnd
step down out of heaven to take
human birth and grow up to
manhood as the Son of Man. He
gave sight to the blind and
raised the dead back to life and
by a miracle. He proved Him
self to be none other than God
tho Creator.
But He was also Redeemer. Sin
less. He took our sins and died
under them to free us. Christ
died for our sins, the Bible puts
it God gav? the anguish in His
heart, and He suffered the pains
of hell for us and God was satis
fied. Jesu; paid it all.
So Christ did His part. He is

to clear us. Now our part. We
are to answer to such love and

More on Timber Hoarding . .
The Pravda Boys on
Potomac have been, unloosing
some high howls of protest against
recent exposures of Big G timber
hoarding in the Douglas fir re
gion.
Now comes Robert Ormond
Case, one of the few Pacific
Northwest free-lance writers who
enjoy regular contributions to
magazines which millions read,
with an atomic bomb exposure
of such timber hoarding by the
bureaucracy.
This is in a Saturday Evening
Post article entitled “Why You
Can’t Buy a House.” It speaks
to the baffled and confused vet
eran who is seeking vainly to
build that dream home of the war
years.
Some may think the article ex
cessively polite to the Forest
Service, but Bog Case» is an old
logger, and old loggers are ever
paragons to courtesy. It takes
such Harvard men as Carl Crow
and Herb Cox to throw the verbal
spitoons at the Prava Boys o'
the Potomac.
The facts that Case presents
are devastating, and the present
ation is all the more persuasive
for being politely stated.
The Hoard of Green Gold . . .
There are 218 billion board
feet of sawtimber in the National
Forests of the Douglas fir region.
A lot of it is rotting on its roots,
wasting away.
Large sawmills
have closed down during the
past year for lack of logs. More
will close if some of the timber
hoards in the National Forests
are not opened. They were estab
lished in the first place, as “For
est Reserves' for precisely that
purpose—to be fed in to maintain
the timber supply of sawmills as
private supplies were depleted.
Since 1933 there has been a lot
of dirty work at the crossroads
on this proposition. More stories
than you can shake a stick at
have been going the rounds about
lumbermen through totalitarian
control of the commercial timber
reserves of the Douglas fir re
gion. ■
The wealth represented by the
218 billion feet of sawtimber in
the National Forests is wealth
only because there are railroads,
shipping lines, logging companies,
sawmills, systems of lumber sales
and distribution throughout the
country, with many other elements
of private investment and private
enterprise within the forest indus
tries.
Private risk capital and enter
prise have allowed the govern
ment to charge prices for stump-
age which in some cases have
been so high that foresters call
it profiteering.
Last year, despite urgent war
needs, the cut on the National
Forests was about a third of the
amount that foresters of high au
thority judge the allowable cut
to be. And even this is based
on an ethereal theory of some
thing called sustained yield.
Censorship I> Here . . .
Now let me hasten to declare
that Bob Gase has not told all of
the things I have told and he has
left undisturbed the legion of the
Big G forestry as a monument to
verdant virtue. Had he not done
so the Pravda Boys on the Po
tomac would have bombarded his
editor with many protests and not
a few veiled threats. This has
happened with other Northwest
writers who have ventured to
write a few facts of life about
the rule of Big G on our West
ern lands.
There is already enough censor
ship in effect on the Federal do
main to show clearly that the free
press would be one of the first
victims of nationalism in this
country.
It is later than we
think, as people u ed to say.

RIVERVIEW — Mr. and Mrs.
Oscar Steele returned Tuesday
from a vacation in the mid-west.
They were in ten states and two
Canadian provinces. They made
a short stop at Coronation, Can
ada, Mrs. Steele’s girlhood home,
and another at Austin, Minn., and
motored through Yellowstone park
on the return trip. Grain crops
in Alberta were five or six inches
high while in Kansas they found
harvesting and threshing of the
1946 crop at its peak, with wheat
being poured into huge piles in
the open fields. Crossing Iowa,
they saw hundreds of beautiful
farms in full production which
was a marvel to both of them,

Mrs. Glen Hawkins and sons,
drove to Trenholm Wednesday to

Serafin.
Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Bell and

Bell home.
Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jacobs and
daughters and Elmer Buelow of
Clatskanie came over Sunday on
a cherry gathering expedition and
dined with Mr. and Mrs. Riley
Hall.
Our sick list this week has the
following names: Mrs. Margaret
Bell, L. L. Wells, George Davis
and Arthur Armstrong. Young
Davis had an accident at the
swimming pool Saturday, took
cold and is suffering with throat
trouble while Mr. Armstrong was
