So it was that he began to help himself from the com pany till. Then he was found out, arrested, tried and named guitly sent to the pen and his sin was out in the open.

Your lusts, unholy loves, spites, hidden habits, hates, grudges and godless plans may bq secret just now but they will all come up on Judgment Day when you must give account to God. Now face about and see God with outstretched arms, yearn ing to possess you and make you rich forever as the son of his love. But he must see you cleared of all sin.

The National Association of Home Builders says that a survey of 23 states shows that 92 per cent of the veterans’ houses start ed since January 15 "are either at a standstill or seriously de layed.” The reason given is that the government has failed to as sure an adequate steady flow of building materiales. For Want of a Nail This accusation is supported in one instance by the recent an nouncement that the war assets administration and the national housing authoirty are releasing 12 million pounds of nails from army and navy stockpiles. According to the two govern ment agencies, this hitherto un tapped source of a vital material is enough for construction of 30,000 houses — provided other scarce materials are available. What some people here are wondering is why it took the WAA and the NHA months to discover and release this stockpile of nails . . . and what other crit ical materials vital to building still are buried in government warehouses. CxSTVi) THE FIRST -’*2$'/ S' PATENT FOR fl DISHWASHER x WAS APPLIED FOR t-ro— IN THE CALIFORNIA GOLD RUSH The Outdoor Writer« . . . If you are interested in working up a fine state of confusion for yourself an easy wav to do it is to start figuring on the term, “out door writers.” You mar ponder first on the question, “Are there two broad divisions among the tribe of inkslingers; that is, in door writers and outdoor writ ers?” And then: “Is an outdoor writer one who does his writing outdoors, rain or shine, or what?” Keen it up and you'll end mum bling the old song, “Who takes care of the caretaker’s daughter while the caretaker’s busy taking care ? ” To get down to business, there are some 700 members in th» Outdoor Writers Association of America. They are newspaper, magazine and book writers who rather up stories on hunting, fishing, and conservation and write them as their main busi ness in life. The famous novelist, Louis Bromfield, is an outdoor writer in his work today, with soil con servation his chief interest. Every sizeable daily newspaper has an outdoor editor who is a specialist in knowledge of soil, woods, wa ters and wild life, and who can also sling words. No writing group is mnre sig nificant to the future of the Pa cific Northwest. The Good Land . . . The outdoor writers form the main channels of information be tween the public and the tourist and outdoor recreation industry. No one questions that an enorm ous boom is in the making for this industry—if we don’t get atom-bombed into oblivion. That prospect is something to make the forest-land owner and the farm-land owner tremble. For them the tourist and the vaca tionist so often means destruction of property. There are many signs that an age-old instinct for the life of the good land, the soil and the things of the soil of Mother Earth, is (in rising tide among the people of the towns. Among our think ers the idea of Thomas Jefferson on the abiding virtues of life on the soil and his fears of indus trialism are gaining new respect. Thus the driving urge of so many to get back to the good land, to take to the woods, to drift with time on a quiet lake. Lumbermen are facing that prospect as an inexorable fact. Farmers are coming to it. How can they all make the best of this rising problem of urbanites escap the way or dark the day. look ut ing to the land ?
