The Forum Mr. Marvin Ilamholz, Vernonia, Oregon Dear Editor: An open letter to parents of grade school pupils living in Mist, As I was driving through Mist last week a dozen youngsters brought me to a dead stop and then tried to climb on the truck as I again started, They con- sidered it a fine joke, By the time I arrived at the store I realized how serious the situation could have been if I had no good brakes or had been heavily loaded, or the highway slippery or if I drank, and too much at that. So I stopped again and went in to case the situation. I was practically thrown out on my ear because he said that it was none of his business, the case was well known, and nothing could be done about it anyway. The school principal said that the children had been told and told and told. I expressed my sym pathy for her position of political soueeze between irresponsible par ents and pampered Johnnies and Marys and quickly took my leave, because, after all it was not my business either. I agree with the Boys Town maximum that all boys are good. Lack of training and vigilance is going to cause stark tragedy which will then be too late. A well organized school Safety Patrol will quickly eliminate this highway hazard. Then grab some thrifty young farmer and his wife to head a 4-H club, or Boy Scouts or any other youth organization that will build citizenship into these fine youngsters so solidly that they will never ever think of such dangerous tactics.

CHARLES A. PLUMSTEAD Timber Rt., Box 56 Vernonia, Oregon War. End When? SPORT FOR SATAN—Man is hard at it to end wars yet he is helpless, being led on by Satan, says the Bible and it teaches that the whole world lies in the arms of the Evil One. Satan was a murderer from the beginning, de- clared Jesus—BIBLE. It is Sa- tan’s nature to stir up wars and see the sons of men kill one an- other. So come wars. WARS END WHEN? — Jesus said there would be wars and ru mors of war and sure enough, wars have run these 2000 years since Christ. This is not the age of peace In this present age, God is calling out a people from all rations to be his riches—a people of God, on whom he is to spend his love in the ages to come. U ith the roll-call of the redeemed filled out, Christ is to return, throw Satan into the pit, with wars out and peace in. At the end of the thousand years, Christ is to call up the lost dead for judgement. CALLING YOU—God paid high to win you for the roll-call. He gave His Son to die for your sins. Believe God’s word, that by Christ death for your sins they are can celled out and God makes you his own. Then come what may, look utterly to Christ to see thru. Live here and now by power from on high. S. W. McChesney Rd.,, Portland- This space paid for by a G. I. in Japan.

ATLEY SEZ Howdy Folks: We’ve read an article about the wonders of face-lifting by plastic surgery. Face-lifting may be all right for the women, but if a man is at all patient, his will grow right up through his hair. Of course, the earliest known method of face-lifting was with a rope. Some men have such a long face, the barber should charge them for a double shave. But you can be assured of reasonable charges when you bring your car to CHAPMAN’S for SERVICE and MARFAK LUBRICATION.
