OREGON OFFICIALS OPPOSE
COLUMBIA VAL. AUTHORITY

Led by Governor Douglas Mckay

Charles Murphy, assistant to Presi-
position to Columbia Valley
Authority for this region. Murphy
is in the Northwest to confer with

dents proposed eva bill.
There is very little support for
the Authority idea in this region
people want to develop the area
through the medium of the already
existing agencies which have agreed
upon and are working out a CO.
ordinated plan.
Mayor Lee stated that the de-
velopment of the Columbia is pro-
crossing as rapidly as funds are be-
ing made available by Congress,
and that she saw no need for the
Authority.
Among other citizens protesting
eva was Dan Pearson, Hood River
farmer. representing the Oregon
Farm Bureau. He said that mem
bers of his organization lived in
the re0iOn that would be affected
by a eva and I'VE don't want it.
We are satisfied with the existing
agencies"
Murphy asked if anyone had
specific suggestions for the eva
bill being drafted by him The
groups emphatic response was that
they had no suggestions, since they

aides left by special chartered

For centuries the Christian
Church has set aside the six weeks
before Easter as a period of special
preparation Beginning with Ash
Wednesday and continuing through
Good Friday, it has observed what
tradition has called a closed sea
SON
But why observe Lent? Why a
special period Of preparation? That
all depends upon what significance
we attach to the Great Christian
festivals of Good Friday and Easter.
The Christian religion is built
upon the rock bottom fact of
Christ's atonement for sin. It
teaches that on Good Friday, some
1900 years ago, the Son of God
gave His life in payment for the
sins of all mankind AS a result of
this substitution Of the Innocent for
the guilty, the sins of the entire
human race have been atoned.
The Bible is very clear on this
point. Christ suffered for our
sins" it says, the Just for the un-
Just" And 1.-THE blood of Jesus
Christ, Gods Son, cleanseth US from
all sin"
This tremendous fact, namely the
substitutionary death of Christ, |
which is the very heart of the Chris
tan Gospel, is to be made the sub
ject of special contemplation during
the Lenten season. In private de-
votions, in family readings, and in
special church services Christians II
are to intensity their meditation
upon the tremendous price of their
If you have not yet come to know II
Christ as your personal Redeemer, II
set aside this Lenten season to III
study His Gospel offer of heaven
and eternal life Resolve to attend
)ut special Lenten services every
Wednesday evening and on Good
friday at 7:30 p. m. Come thou /
With us and we will do thee good"
