This last session of congress
^pproprated $33,166,346,163 to
run the government in the fiscal
year which began July 1.
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.

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.

No man having taught them bet-

the Bible, they perish. Romans

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

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

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

“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?
In (6) the chief forester says,
“The American people must be
conservation conscious . .
