Soy Trials Start
By FOSTER GILROY

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Charged by the
government with conspiracy to sup
ply Germany with secret informa-
ton about U. S. defenses, sixteen
defendants went to trial in local
Federal Court. Seventeen Of their
co-defendants have already pleaded
guilty.
Tankers Reach Russia
Vladivostok, Russia Despite ia
pans threat to take action against
u S tankers deliering oil to the Soy
lets, third oil-laden ship has made
port here in safety. The tankers are
delivering high octane gasoline
greatly needed by Russian planes in
their mass operations against Nazi
invaders.
Berlin Badly Bombed
London-In the largest bombing
operation yet carried out against
Berlin, Raj planes swept over the
German capital in waves dropping
heavy bombs of the terrific new eX-
plosive now used by the British.
Fires were started in many sections
of the city, especially around vital
railroad centers. AT the same time,
other air squadrons bombed Kiel and
the German occupied French Chan
mel ports. The damage to the lat
ter during the last six months has
rendered practically impossible Hit
ler's scheme for an invasion TO Bri-
tain.
Hitler's Debt Looms
Berlin Germany's national debt
stands now at 101- billion marks. At
the outbreak of the war, it stood at
37-billion marks, indicating a war
outlay of 64lbillion marks. The
catch is to determine just what this
means in dollars. At the end of Ger
many's last venture on world en-
slavement, it cost 100000, 900 marks
to buy slave labor, is doubled by
many economists.

Every town of any size should
have a zoning ordinance to protect
its property owners from having the
value of their property destroyed or
made less desirable through the 10
cation of an undesirable business on
the adjoining lot. In towns where
such coming laws are not in force,
property damage resulting from the
proximity of undesirable business is
common. 1T is too late to protest
after building is built, and it is
sometimes embarrassing to do so.
City governments should not subject
property owners to the possibility of
such unpleasant embarrassment that
comes from fighting and opposing
the location of a business. City
government should protect all its
citizens with a general coming ord
nance so that a property owner, be-
fore he builds his home, will know
just what kind Of a building can be
built adjacent to his property, and
the owner of given line of business
can know just where he can locate
before going to the expense of buy
ing the lot and making plans. In one
city where such a law exists the cost,
location and type of a building is
determined by three maps. The first
map shows what types of business
can be located in given parts of town,
the second map shows what type of
construction must be used, whether
fire proof or not, mad the third map
shows what the minimum cost of the
building shall be. Property owners
of this town are protected, as they
should be in every town.

Destruction Island, at the mouth
of the Hob River on the Olympia
Peninsula, received its name from
the Spanish explorer Heceta.
When the Spaniards came up the
coast in the closing years of the 18th
century, he put in at the island for
wood and water. The men sent
ashore were killed. His version is
that Indians killed the men and tore
the ships boat apart for its metal.
The Indian story handed down is
that the white men came during a
feast celebrating the time of pre-
serving the salmon for the winter.
The Indians could not sell salmon
during this religious ceremony.
When the white men took some,
after eating, they were killed. Heceta
named the island, Isla de Dolores,
which name was later changed to
Destruction Island.

Plugged watermelons caused the
massacre of DR.. and Mrs. Marcus
Whitman and eleven others near
Walla Walla in 1847.
It is theorized by some historians
that Whitman generated dislike
among the Indians because of his
system of preventing the theft of his
watermelons-he plugged the water
melons, put in a bitter medicine that
would make the Indians sick and
put the plug back.
Others believe the massacre was a
result of the Indian custom of kill
ing the doctor If the patient died,
and some Of Whitman's patients were
not cured.

10 YOU KNOW that these troubles begin,
not when your engine starts losing its high
compression, but when its high compression
becomes still higher?
Few people realize that such increased
compression causes knocking sounds - and
a sluggish engine often within the first
ten thousand miles.
So, if your engine knocks has lost
some of that ''new-car liveliness"-this may
very likely be your trouble. Carbon is re-
sponsible.

WHO, DO YOU SAY, IS THE
WONDERFUL COUNSEHOR3

Ask Isaiah, one Of the greatest pro-
phets of the old testament, what does
he see as he peeps through the tele-
scope of time? And he answers, "I
see One who is coming to unshackle
the chains of those in bondage, to lift
the cares and weights of those that are
burdened, and to make way for those
that are lost in the wilderness. He
declares Himself to be this wonderful
counsellor, mighty God, prince of peace,
and everlasting Father"
Wonderful-because He came as
man, subjected to all human frailment.
He Withheld His power and allowed
man to trample on Him, spit on Him,
mock Him and abuse Him. He came
to give His blood as a ransom because
He loved me so. nderful-because
when the flesh tempted Him to make
use of His omnipotent power, He made
Himself slave to obedience. He gave
His enemies victory over His flesh,
and when they thought that His cause
had come to an end, that His purpose
had been defeated, He rose triumphant
over soul and body to reign as the
Great Conquering King-because He
loved me so. Wonderful though He
was man He declared Himself as God
and manifested His power by walking
the seas, stilling the waves, healing
the sick, raising the dead, feeding the
hungry, clothing the naked, sheltering
the homeless, opening the eyes of the
blind, Strengthening the feet of the
lame, moving the tongues of the dumb,
loving all those that came within the
fold, and showing great compassion
and mercy on those without-because
He loved me so.
To Isaiah He was a Counsellor-long
before the heavens declared Him to be
the Messiah, Isaiah saw Him in the
temple confounding the wise and
learned. 1t was He who blessed Solo
mon with wisdom, the Great Advisor
OF all advisors, Counsellor of all coun-
sellors, whose yea and nay shall stand
throughout all eternity.
To Isaiah He also was the Mighty
God-as He declared Himself in the
words, II am the Lord thy God and

besides Me there is no other. l am
He that was in the beginning, that is
now and that shall be forever and ever.
l am He endowed with the power of
the Omnipotent, to whom Heaven
yields itself as Ny throne and earth
makes itself My footstool." He that
was wrapped in the cloud by day and
shone as fire by night, that shakes the
earth from its very foundation, that
brings mighty kings off their thrones,
that destroys wickedness in high
places, sends voice through the thun-
der, reveals anger in lightning, halls
down birthstone and fire, consumed
water by the altar, walked in the fiery
furnace without being scorched, divided
the Jordan by the raising of finger,
trod the road to Calvary, laid down
His life and then picked it up-and
now reigns as Lord of Lords.
1t is He that sees everything, every
where, at all times, hears everything,
knows everything, and abides with all
that accept Him as their personal and
loving Saviour.
To the Angels He was called EN-
manuel, for He came to save His people
from their sins. To John He was the
one whose shoes he was unworthy to
unloose. To Peter He was a Solid
Rock, the power of the Holy Ghost and
Fire. To the doctor He was the Great
Physician, healer of all diseases both
in the flesh and the spirit. To the law
yer He was the Greatest of Counsel
lors. To the philosopher He was the
possessor of wisdom far surprising
the knowledge of feeble man. To the
hypocrites He was a self-righteous
blasphemer in whose presence they
trembled and fell. To the backslider He
was that still Voice that called by day
and haunted by night To the student
He was the Teacher above all teachers.
To the Preacher, "Never came one as
He" To the motherless He was a mo-
ther that would never leave. To the
fatherless He was father that cared.
To the friendless He was the Friend
of friends. To an outcast people He
was the Leader To a forsaken coun-
try He was King above all kings.
Oh, yes-He is the Star that shines
bright in the morning. He is the Lily
that blooms in the field-that pushes
its way out through the mud and slime
and crowned itself as king of beauty.
He is Rose that grew in Sharon, the
Rock cut out of the mountain, the
wheel within a wheel. Let me intro
duce Him to you-You'll find no better
friend. Jesus my Redeemer will stay
to the bitter end. Oh, hear the Saviour
pleading, list to his mournful call. He
is the Blessed Sunlight-He is my All
in All.
