Local Minister Ordained
At Rites Held at Salem
Rev. William Armstrong, pastor of
the Vernonia Assembly of God
church for the past three years, was
one of 16 licensed ministers of the
denomination to be ordained last
Friday evening at the annual dis
trict meeting held at the First As
sembly of God church at Salem. In
cluded in the 16 was T. “Texas” Tyl
er, a former actor, who, after his
conversion, became a minister.
Armstrong has been a licensed
minister in the church for nine years
during which he has served churches
at Tygh Valley, Hereford and Fossil.
During that time he has completed
correspondence courses equivalent
to a three-year seminary course in
order to qualify for ordination.

David DuBose, 21-year-old son of
Reverend L. A. DuBose, pastor of
the First Baptist church here, will
bring the message at that church
this next Sunday evening, March 14,
just prior to his departure March
20 for Tel Aviv. He lias been speak
ing at the church at the evening ser
vices for several weeks.
David is now a junior at Portland
State College and as part of his
studies he has taken two and a half
years of Hebrew under Rabbi Stamp-
fer in Portland.
He will now go to Kibutts in North
ern Galilea where he will work on
a collective farm in order to study
the people, their customs and the
language.
His reason for making this trip is
his deep interest in cultural Zionism,
in Middle East politics and the his
tory of the Holy Land and future
purposes.
He will fly from the east coast
to Tel Aviv, then go to the Tfar Gil-
adi province.
H ig h w a y B ill
Congressman Wendell Wyatt (R-
Ore.) has introduced a bill to desig
nate U. S. Highway 30 between Port
land and Astoria, which is on Inter
state Highway 80-N, as a part of the
National System of Interstate and
Defense Highways.
Wyatt said that having this approx
imately 95 miles of highway become
part of the National System of Inter
state and Defense Highways would
make it eligible for more federal
funds and that is would complete U.
S. Highway 30 to the Pacific coast.
Wyatt said that Astoria and the
highway route are strategically lo
cated from the standpoint of busi-
nes, industry, and recreation, and it
is only fitting that a better and mo
dem highway be provided for the
area involved.

IT'S YOUR LAW
Kupeet for Law Maker Democracy Live
UNCONSTITUTIONALITY
Sometimes laws enacted by the U.
S. Congress or by state legislatures
are declared “unconstitutional” by
the courts.
When a law is declared unconstitu
tional by the supreme court of a
state, in the case of state laws, or by
the supreme court of the United
States, in the case of either federal
or state laws, the law is, in effect,
nullified or wiped out.
Why are some laws declared un
constitutional?
To understand why some laws are
stricken down as unconstitutional, or
in other words, in violation of the
constitution, one must realize that
the constitution of the United States
is the supreme law of the land and
the constitution of a state is the fund
amental law for that state. The con
stitution represents the will of the
people, from whom all power springs
in our form of government, and only
the people have the right to change
the constitution.
Sometimes the members of con
gress or of a legislature enact a law
which provides for some procedure
prohibited by the constitution. In that
case, if the validity of the law is
challenged, it is the duty of the court
to declare that the law is unconstitu
tional.
When a law is held void it is not be
cause the courts have or exercise any
control over the legislative power, but
because the will of the people as ex
pressed in the constitution is para
mount to that of their elected repre
sentatives expressed in a mere law.
It is the duty of the judges under
their oaths of office to give effect to
the will of the people as expressed in
the constitution.
If new laws could ignore funda
mental concepts on which our gov
ernment is founded, a majority of
congress or of a state legislature
could radically change our form of
government simply by passing new
laws which do away with constitu
tional rights, such as freedom of
speech, freedom of the press, or free
dom of religion.

purpose the grantor might have ap
proved.
You can set up trusts to provide
for income, funds for education, an
annuity, or charitable gift. Many a
man has put property in trust to pay
his wife an income while she lived,
with the rest to go afterwards to
their children.
People use “spendthrift” trusts to
support someone who, because of
poor health, inexperience, or poor
judgement, may waste, lose or blow
the money in. The grantor can set
out in detail how payments may go
to the beneficiary.
The point is this: You can call
upon the law to do remarkable things
during your life and afterwards,
things you could not otherwise do.

out recently that only about half of
the people who need wills have them.
Many people think of wills as tying
their hands. Actually wills free them.

any need you have.
In principle, trusts are simple: As
a “grantor,” you choose and turn
your property over to a trustee. You
tell him what to do. He does it.
