New Calender Opposed
Opposition to the proposed blank
day world calender is being very
strongly agitated in congress and
members of the S.D.A. church and
others are being asked to write
personal letters protesting this
coming move. Word of the letter
writing move was announced by
N. C. Hamer, Mist Rt., earlier
this week when he explained that
the blank day calender would
throw the Sabbath day on a
different day of the week and
would also cause trouble in re
cording important events.
Tlie letters may be written to
the Hon. Tom Connally, senate
office building, Washington, D. C.
He is chairman of the foreign re
lations committee.

Editor, Vernonia Eagle,

Dear Sir:
There have been five letters
written to the powers that now
be in the Courthouse at St.
Helens, Oregon. The information
requested was simple, so simple
and straightforward that anyone,
even anyone in the Courthouse,
could readily grasp. All that has
been forthcoming to date has been
that old “push around”, the
bureaucratic brush-off or, even
worse, the rank discourtesy of
not answering at all.
The questions consisted of (1)
why are my taxes over three times
what they were the previous year
and, (2) what yardstick is used
to evaluate the real property in
Columbia County?
No direct answer to these ques
tions has ever been received.
It is doubtful if the members
of any other county government in
the United States are so sure of
their position and so thoroughly
crass in that knowledge, that they
no longer make the slightest effort
to be civil to taxpaying citizens.
Shades of Mr. Jersey City Hague.

Can Reds Get Us?

With the God-hating Reds out

here within, shall we escape?
Scoffers within? Yes, you hear
them scoff at God’s holy name
and Christ’s. Profanity, murder,
theft, drunkenness, family break
up, adultery, gambling, crime and
all else that follows when a nation
forgets God—Them that honor me
I will honor and they that despise
me shall be lightly esteemed.
BIBLE. 1st Samial 2:30.
God bless America? How can
he? Yet he has good things for
such as turn. Now for 2000 years
God has been calling out a people
on whom to spend his love in the
ages to come. They who turn to
Christ and trust Him as dying for
their sins are the saved.
And what for you? May it be
to accept Christ as your own
Saviour and Lord. Or will you go
out lost to meet your sins at the
Judgement?
So.

Unfortunately much m's-infor-

able publicity recently regarding
the old-age assistance program in
Oregon. With the help of opin

and information furnished in re

Aaron, a west coast official of
the Social Security Board, who
was present at the May 24 monthly
meeting of the Oregon State
Public Welfare Commission, we
have been able to get nearer to
the facts than perhaps some

passed by the recent legislative

It's Here!
The Hotpoint Automatic Washer
that outwashes them all and
gives you lighter, brighter wash
days.
IT WASHES...
Hotpoint ends the lugging, tugging, bending, reaching,
lifting, wringing of old-fashioned washer methods.
Just set the dial and the Hotpoint starts washing.
There’s no work for you!
IT RINSES...
All by itself, your Hotpoint Automatic washer flushes
out the water and rinses three times, carrying away
soil and soap, leaving your clothes fresh and cleatr.
Now you can wash clothes without your hands touch
ing water.
IT DAMP DRIES...
And all by itself, your Hotpoint Automatic Washer
spins your clothes extra damp dry, then shuts itself
off and your clothes are ready for you any time you
want to take them out. A few minutes to load and
unload—that's all it takes to wash your clothes the
Hotpoint Automatic way.
Eyes Change too, Time to Time
If you have the "mañana” habit...if tomor
row is always good enough for you...don’t
expect to enjoy that "money-in-the-bank”
feeling. Why postpone the urge to save?
Open your account now and bank some
thing regularly. You won’t have to worry
about tomorrow if you do your saving today.
