This means, in the opinion of some experienced legislators, that country w 11 incur a substan- deficit for the 17th consecu- year. Estimates of the deficit as high as $12 billion. The $33 billion figure, of course, is not entirely complete. Addi tional funds will have to be ap propriated under terminal leave legislation for benefit of enlisted men in the armed services. The president has requested an appro priation of $2.7 billion for this purpose. Also, deficiencies may anise next winter. Strong Effort Pledged While the $33 billion total was the official estimate of the house appropriations committee, Repub lican members insist that the to tal should be about $39 billion, if appropriations and other qommit- ments are added in. The administration is commit ted to a strong effort to balance the budget in the fiscal year which ends next June 30. This would be possible if expenditures should run far less than the appropria tions and if tax receipts should rise to new high levels. Appropriations for the army to tal more than $7 billion, while those for the navy total more than $4 billion, And the rising cost of veterans’ benefits makes a sizeable figure in the uppro- priation totals. • Glass is rapidly becoming more versatile. Today glass has lost its fragilty. It can be sawed, bent, twisted, knotted, nailed or woven, It can be made lighter than aluminum or heavier than iron, The future promises in- elude such diversified products as fireproof cloth, non-breakable ta bleware, plumbing and many other products of glass fiber combined with plastics. PICKING OF LATE HOPS START HILLSBORO—Picking of late county hops was underway early this week in several yards and will run for approximately three weeks. Demand for pickers is high. Price for picking is four cents per pound generally. Harvest of beans is past the peak but will probably continue through September. Growers are still in need of pickers to finish the work. Peach picking is virtually at a peak in the Elbertas and picking of most of the Hales will be un derway in a few days. Prune picking is scheduled to start in the county shortly after Labor day and run through the rest of September. NEW CANNERY IN OPERATION ON BEANS M’MINNVILLE—Oregon Foods, Inc., latest of McMinnville’s grow ing industries to begin operation recently started the first of 30,- 000 cases of locally-grown beans through the cannery for process ing. Installation of equipment was completed August 12, and the beans going into the big new aluminum - sheathed warehouse this week represent the plant’s first pack. ¡The cannery is now employing 50 women and 20 men. This num ber will probably be slightly in creased during prune canning, it was said. A maximum of around 100 workers will be em ployed in subsequent seasons when the plant is in full producton. 67 FOREST FIRES LISTED IN WEEK OF STORMS PRINEVILLE—-Sixty-seven forest fires, six of them man-caused and the rest the result of electric storms, have been reported in the Ochocho national forest during the past week, bringing the sea son’s total to 84 fires, All but one of the fires were checked within an area of an acre or less, The one that got away was a smoker’s fire which spread over two and one-half acres. FAIR ADMISSIONS SET ALL-TIME HIGH GRESHAM—When the gates closed on the 40th( annual Mult nomah county fair, an all-time record crowd of approximately 135,500 persons had passed through the gates. it was esti- mated. God Wink at Sin? Do the heathen who never heart! of God perish, Ilf they sin? No man having taught them bet- ter, must they perish? Yes, says the Bible, they perish. Romans 2:12. And what does the word PERISH mean as the, Bible ’ uses it? Look over at that lot filled with wrecked cars and you will know. Those cars are wrecks and no longer fit for the road. They are cars even yet, but no longer fit. PERISHED, not fit, the Bi ble would call them. PERISHED, no longer fit. Just so mankind has perished. Sin has wrecked us and we are no longer fit for the high calling God had for us. God gave us free choice and we turned to sin and it wrecked us. We know bet ter than to sin for on the heart of every child born, God engraves his law of right and wrong. Also he gives us the inner voice that tells us to do the right and he gives us reason that tells us that we sin Romans 2:13—BIBLE. You need not perish, wants to give you new birth, blot ting out your sins. The miracle of the new birth is in effect when your heart lays hold on Cfir st. our Lord, as God the Saviour who died for your sins. Believe— press ahead—look utterly to Christ—prove the new life. “Wilderness Boss It pa'ns me to draw a critical bead on anything written by my good friend, Dick Neuberger, but this is one time I have to do it. Dick wields tremendous power through the space his abil.'ces command in national magazines of great circulation. He has an un flinching faith in the federal bu reaucracy as a constructive force for the common good of us folks. On this we differ. I distruct Big Government just as the followers of Andrew Jackson distrusted the Big Bank and for precisely the same reasons. So much for that Now to the p’int. In a magazine that has a circulation of ten million or more Dick has an article that glori fies the U.S. forest .service and Chief Lyle Watts in just about the same term that my grand father used to glorify the Primi tive Baptist church and its found er (according to grandpa), St. Paul. That is fine, I love Lyle Watts myself. To see him is to love him —tall, lean man with silver hair and heart of hold that he is. Yet —he is the next-to-absolute boss, with hardly a check or balance for most of the authority he ex erts, of 228,643,015 acres of Na tional Forests, including the Alas kan. The chief forester admits this himself, in Dfck’s article. “Makes you feel good all over,” he is quoted on himself, “to know your country trusts you with ail this.” It doesn’t make me feel good. Too much authority there for one man. Dabs of Clay . . . Dick Neuberger is justly recog nized by the editors of first-chop magazines as an accurate journal ist. And so, with all his sym pathies, he reports the dabs of clay of the man we idolize. So he prints the Watts program of six points “to perpetuate the na tion’s forests, which provide 3,- 750,000 jobs . . . »> The first three points state that forests should be selectively logged and/or sufficient trees must be spared for reseeding and that forest-fire protection must be bettered. We are for that, just as Coolidge's minister was against sin. Then (4) “Young timber must not be cut.” What No pulp?
