The Good Old Davs
Editor, Sam Pitner, of the CARROLLTON CONSERVATIVE,
says he has a hankering to write abook someday about the times
before World War II. "It seems to me," he editorialized re
cently, "that the end of the war was the end of an era in our
country. Life has never been quite the same.
“I remember in high school wanting a jobso bad that I offered
to work in the local grocery store for almost nothing. I got
the job -- and a salary yet. Fifteen bucks a week from 6 a.m.
to 7 p.m. daily and until 10 p.m. on Saturdays. Man, did we
work!
There were no benefits, no Thursday afternoons off,
no coffee breaks, just work.
But I banked the whole fifteen
bucks while living with mv folks. It was sort of a status symbol
in those days to have a good job and be a little independent.
"When my Dad built his home during those depression years,
the best labor could be obtained for $1.25 a day. He went to
Louisiana to get the kind of wood he wanted for that house, and
there was lots of joking about it at the time. But that timber
is as good today as it was then.
"Then the war came. They were tragic years, but we were
held together by a great common bond and by a loving concern
for our neighbors and friends. After the war, there was no
going back to the old days, and it has never been the same and
never will be.
People are different, attitudes are different,
goals and values have changed.’’
Of course, wr,at happened was that during -- and after--
W’orld War II we all got "rich’’; at least, there has been a lot
more money around, even if it goes in one pocket and out the
other.
In the days Sam Pitner speaks of, money was hard to
find, if you found a little, you had a lot, and it didn’t slide through
your fingers like it does now. And Sam isn’t the only fellow
to wonder out loud if all that extra money we have floating
around these days has really made us any happier!

Reverend Bob’s Gduinii
It was at a special evangelis
tic service at The Methodist
Church that LIFE really began
for Francis Foster. She marks
the winter of 1930 as the time
that God inspired her to give
her life to the service of her
God.
Shortly after committing her
life to Christ, Francis entered
Westmont College inCalifornia.
Several years after finishing
school she began a ‘round the
world" missionary tour. On this
trip she travelled throughout
India singing in the native dia
lects of India and preaching the
Good News of Jesus Christ.
After her‘roundthe world’mis
sionary trip she returned to Ja
pan and spent two and a half
years of ministry in that coun
try.
Since then she has spent ano
ther two and a half years of
ministry of work in Japan. But
her heart was actually in India
and so after her two and a half
years of work in Japan she went
to northern India where she
preached and opened new chur
ches. She worked among the na
tional workers of this country
for a year and a half. But to her
regret the government of India
suddenly terminated the stay of
foreign missionaires and she
along with many others had to
leave India. She left India and
went into Pakistan where she
spent several years of success
ful ministry. Francis has given
about twelve years of her life
to Foreign Missionary work and
has also worked in many pla
ces here in the United States
starting Sunday Schools, con
ducting Vacation Bible Schools,
working in Bible Colleges, ful
filling that inspired call of 1930
to give her life in the service
of her God.
Service to God was not a
new idea to The Foster Fa
mily or to Francis. Her pa
rents, Mr. and Mrs. W .W. Fos
ter dedicated their life to the
service of their God when they
were married. They have been
active members of the Metho
dist Church in Nyssa since
1912.
They raised their fa
mily with the idea that all peo
ple should put their service to
God first in their lives. The
Fosters have one other daugh
ter Grace W ilson who has been
a missionary in Alaska. She with
her husband, Charles Wilson,
still live in Alaska where they
are active in summer youth
camps. Their sen, Chuck Wil
son, will enter college this
fall to prepare for the ministry.
Tom Foster, the son of W. W.
Foster and a brother of F ran-
cis,
has
been a Methodist
minister for fifteen years. All
the other sons and daughters
are active in their churches.
The list of Fosters who are
giving their life in service to
their God is long and will go on
forever.
Francis is now waiting for
a visa to return to Pakistan.

Editor, the Journal:
(This is a copy of a let
ter to Supt. W.L. Me Partland)
Dear Mr. Me Partland
I was invited to attend a
recent overnight two-day field
trip conducted in the Unity, Ore
gon area by the 6th grade tea
chers and students. I honestly
questioned the value of such a
trip, and in my own mind did
not anticipate anything more
than a two day "rat race’’ with
105 kids.
I found that I was completely
wrong.
It was quite evident
that much prior planning and
study had gone into preparing
for the trip. I am certain the
students gained much know
ledge about an important part
of Eastern Oregon. They were
well behaved and I was proud
of how they conducted them
selves.
The
Forest Service per
sonnel, 6th grade teachers, and
all of the students deserve
praise for their efforts to make
the trip a success.
I would
not hesitate to recommend a
similiar trip for next years’
6th graders.
Sincerely,
Houston Wilson
