Columbia busin
FurnIunds Erodinq

PORTLAND, Nov. 11-R-Near-
ly every one of the Columbia Ba-
sins million and a half acres of
farm lands is eroding to some
extent, an agronomist said here
today.
Harold Tower, Portland, told
the Oregon Association Of soil
conservation districts, that ex.
tent of erosion varied with land
conditions, with some 100000
acres of steep and shallow
ground in poor condition" He
recommended grass planting In
such poor quality land.
Even some good wheat-produc.
ing land is suffering erosion, he
added. He suggested such prac-
tees as stubble mulch tillage,
and said it would not reduce the
yields II nitrogen fertilizer Is
used.

Will The Cow T..
Remain Confenfed?

The volume of telephone traffic be-
tween the Tri-C Cities is fat, financial set
up for the telephone companies.
The telephone companies seem to think
that Pasco Kennewick and Richland stand
erect on the business horizon of today, and
the future, too, like fat Jersey COW in
the evening, waiting to be MIXED.
MIXED how? MIXED by whom?
BY the telephone companies, through
their toll charges between the three cities.
Businessmen and average citizens live,
work and do business in all three Of our
cities. This highly concentrated area Of
business detectives and of population. As
years go by, the three cities will grow
closer and closer together.
Must we be MIXED for ever and ever,
Just because the Jersey cow stands for it
and has no choice in the matter?
Jersey cows are usually fat and gentle.
They are fed well so they will give lots Of
milk.
Tri-City telephone users are not finan-
cially fat right now. They may not feel
MIXED.
It is granted that the telephone comp
anies have spent a lot Of money here late
ly. They will spend lot more, too, if they
want to keep up with the area and its
growth. IF rates need to be raised, let's
look at the case in an intelligent manner.
Let's look at all the facts.
Certainly the telephone company Is not
In business to lose money.
But when rates are being discussed -.
$50 they will be more fair" - let's elimin-
ate the toll charges between Pasco, Kenne-
wick and Richland.
They are unfair now.
They are trade barrier now.
W. AA1A IL.
who operate them, and their public rela-
tons experts, surely must realize that if
the Jersey cow is in pain it will eventually
affect the quality and quantity Of the milk.
And gentle Jersey or not, cows in pain
sometimes kick over the milk bucket, too.
Let's keep our Jersey COW in good
health - free from pain. Let's keep her fat
and contented, freely giving Of her milk.
Let's adjust telephone rates, If neces-
sary.
BUT, let's eliminate the toll charge at
the same time, and make the adjustment
accordingly.
Let's see some action.

If Smiley Roberts is friend Of

do. don't ever let him hear you say
that good clam chowder can be
made without cream.
In New England, where Smiley
comes from, friendships have been
broken over tomatoes versus cream
in clam chowder. Experts say that
south of Boston the tomato reigns
supreme, but north Of Boston it's
cream-or else!
From where I sit, whether It
should have cream or tomatoes is
simply a matter of taste. This is

prejudices are matters of taste

of the security the company is able
to guarantee to all the people at
Playtex Park. BY increasing the al
ready large employee benefit pro-
gram, the international Latex Cor
poration is continuing to carry out
its long-established policy Of con-
stantly improving the work condi-

full vacations with pay, with many
of the factory and clerical workers
now on their overwhelmingly

been in effect since the plant open
ed at Playtex Park in 1887, as has
the free hospital care, paid-for
surgical benefits and free accident
and life insurance. In addition,
every employee receives full pay
for every legal holiday throughout
the year. Paid leaves for family
emergencies are also included in
this broad employee benefit pro-
gram. The Playtex Profit Sharing
Bonus Plan and the working condi-
tions at Playtex Park have made
the company known throughout
American industry. 1t ranks among
the finest and most modern in the
United States, with its air-condi-

surroundings making jobs in this

Christmas Message

Subject-Christmas Giving

-OnrlSLIldS GlVlHS
"And when they had opened
their treasures they presented un-
to Him gifts" Math. Pill.
Christmas is a time for giving
up!-Sins, bad habits and selfish
pleasures.
Christmas is a time for giving
n!-Surrender to Christ; Accep-
tance of Him as King.
Christmas is a time for giving
out.-Giving, not Swapping"
Giving is a part of our religion.
1t is one of the commands of the
Bible: Continue stedfastly in the
apostles doctrines of fellowship,
breaking of bread and prayer"
Fellowship is giving. We are COM
manded to clay by in store on the
first day of the week as the Lord
has prospered U.S." When man
is converted he wants to do some
thing; is anxious to give something
as an expression of gratitude. It
has been the experience of most
liberal givers that they have joy,
and prosper in material things. I
doubt very much if man has real
christianity until he gets religion
in his pocket book.

His only begotten Son; that who
soever believieth in Him shall not
perish but have everlasting life.

nave seen
The aged man, already moving
across the thin line dividing this
world from heaven, could see with
the eye of the spirit what was hid
from the eye of many a practical
man. To Simeon's mind, imbued
with the spirit of the ancient pro-
phets, the child in his arms was
center of light.
All the rays from the dim and
ancient prophecies came to focus
in this child; and from this child
again there shone out to all the
future years of man the hope OF
a better world. What the prophets
have foretold, is now to be; this
child is the hope of mankind.
They have seen a great light
THE CHRISTMAS PROPHECIES,

pie. 1t was a hope that spread be-

country, landlocked and harborless,

on to the world of vast peoples
beyond their ken.
