EVERYDAY
RELIGION
SOMEBODY COMING
BY Rev. Robert w. Turner


At Christmas Time, there is al
ways an air of expectation. 1t is
not different from the expectancy
we experience at other times of
the year, but it is more intense.
Some say, Eyes, the children are
looking forward to Santa Claus!"
That is true and yet how often we
forget that even Santa Claus
wouldn't be coming if Christ had
not been born of Mary on the First
Christmas. Those who have been
in nom Christian lands know that
Christmas Day is like every other
day where the Glad Tidings have
never reached; buying and selling
go on as usual, but it is for the
purpose of getting personal needs
and not for givingl They only give
to others who. know that they have
received from God a Gift so ire
mendous in meaning that it would
shatter their lives should they fail
to share it with strangers, friends,
relatives, neighbors and enemies
alike.

Neither snow nor hail nor sleet
nor fear of frostbite can keep the
ladies from playing bridge. Eleven
pairs of galoshes lined up in a
porch on Main Street on Friday
afternoon testified to that. They
also testified that there is abso-
lutely no truth to statement ]
read recently: "a woman of forty
might as well resign herself to a
life of semi-invalidism." That was
written fifty years ago, but / don't
believe it was true then any more
than it is today. If the ladies will
forgive me, I'll venture to say
that most of those who risked the
icy streets on Friday are over for

AS further proof, saw one
woman shoveling snow from long
expanse of sidewalk and a number
of others out trudging through the
drifts just for the heck of it. Of
course, some women never get to
be forty, so they don't count. The
woman who wrote that silly state

been one of those who had the time
to enjoy poor health; but she

There is a strong possibility, of
course, that many women under
forty are feeling much older than
their years right now. AS this is

CHRISTMAS, 1858

Said he whose birth we celebrate
This nineteen hundred fifty-eight,
"If man would know peace like
the dove,
Above all else, love Love.
Then others love and self the same,
And brotherhood world-wid e
proclaim"
Who loves self the same as others
Counts mankind as friends and
brothers,
Uses strength to raise the weak.
No more than average does he
seek.
So shall we not this very Yule
Begin to live the Golden Rule,
Follow Christ more than in name
And get for friend and self the
same?
If we do this, all wars will cease,
Abundance grow and man know
peace.

largest plurality ever recorded IN the

is a tribute to one of the most re-

is generally recognized as the out
standing leader in the fields of edu-

margin in Lake County is nearly
double what it was in 1856 when
Paradise was not an issue. In Sanders

2 to 1. In 1853 when Paradise was

In Mineral County his majority was
a little over 2 to 1 in 1856; almost
four to 1 this year.

Drawdowl1 AT
Hungry Horse
Now Underway

HUNGRY HORSE - Annual fall
and winter drawdown of Hungry
Horse Reservoir started today (Nov.
14), according to E. L. Gochnaeur,
project superintendent.
DrawdoWn will continue until the
spring flood control program goes
into effect, said Gochnauer. Winter
snowfall and spring run-off will de-
termine when the drawdown for the
winter season ends.
The 34-mile-long lake has been
full since June 20 storing 3,468, 900
acre feet of water.
For the past six summers. Hungry
Horse Reservoir has been full dur
ing the months of July, August and
usually through September, October
and November.
Pattern of operation at Hungry
Horse is to store the spring flood,
while downstream dams on the Co.
lumbia system have ample water re-
serve from the flow of tributaries
that are not damned.
During these months Hungry Horse
produces little power, and local in
dustry is supplied "Grand Coulee"
power through the Bonneville Power
Administration grid. Then in fall and
winter months after downstream res
ervoirs are depleted, Hungry Horse
power output and water discharge is
stepped up. This area becomes a
power and also a water exporter.
For every kilowatt developed at Hun
cry Horse there are eight kilowatts
of downstream benefit. Hungry Horse
stored water is used to turn turbines
at Kerr, Cabinet Gorge, Albeni Falls,
Grand Coulee and to the sea.
Immediate large-scale benefit as a
result of Hungry Horse to the Flat
1ead is the Anaconda Aluminium Co.
,wo miles east of Columbia Falls with
so employees.
Through the Bonneville grid. Mon
ana receives about twice as much
power as is the Hungry Horse output.
This recognizes the downstream bene-
its from Hungry Horse water
Hungry Horse has four II $50 kilo-
watt generators that shortly will be
perating at overload producing more

Hoosiers Warned
Control of Co-ops
IS Now ar Stake

Hoosier farmers were warned last
month that lone day they may awake
and find their rural electric service
controlled by those who 20 years ago
didn't think rural people worthy of
electric service at all"
September's HOOSIER FARMER
reported that this could happen 'un-
less farmers remain level-headed and
fight ulder-to-shoulder" against
the recent attempt by the state Public
Service Commission to control REA
loan application procedures.
Early this year the Indiana PSC
began adding "red-tape" to the loan
application process in that state. The
commission is operating under an
old ruling in Kosciusko county circuit
court that defined rural electric CO.
ops as public utilities.
The article points out that financial
of rural electrics by a
state body is Unnecessary. Rural
electric co-ops are different from
utilities in that they are owned 100
percent by their patrons. In effect,
the article states, "they are co-ops

Tremendous interest has been en-
gendered in the West by a propose
in Congress to establish a nationa
wilderness preservation system. Sena
tor James E. Murray, chairman of th'
Interior and Insular Affairs Commit
tee, is holding four western regiona
hearings on the proposal this month
in Bend, Oregon; San Francisco, Sal
Lake City and Albuquerque.
Recreationists and some business
groups which benefit from the trade
of tourists, as well as fishermen and
hunters are vigorously supporting
the proposal. Commercial interests,
including mining, livestock, oil and
timber industries, are equally vigor-
ously opposed to it.
The National Wilderness Preserva-
tion Act which is before Congress
would set aside for preservation in
their natural state a total of 55 mil
lion acres in various areas which are
already closed to exploitation, for
they are in the national parks or have
been designated as a wilderness type
area by executive order of the Forest
Service. A few tracts are in estab-
lished wildlife refugees. The act au-
thorizes designation as wilderness of
Indian lands where the Indians agree
to it. While the act does not change
the present use of the land areas in
volved. it does make it much more
difficult for them ever to be reopened
to commercial exploitation in the fu-
ture.
AS the law now stands, the director
of the Forest Service can, on his own
say-so. Withdraw forest area from
wild, "primitive", or "roadless"
designation and permit mining, tim
bering, or grazing. Under the pro-
posed act this could only be done
after public hearings, if demanded,
and after notice of the proposed
change had been before Congress for
I2O days of continuous session.
Commercial interests opposing
the legislation contend that exist
ing law gives adequate protection
to the areas; that the existing agen-
cy directors will not reopen the
lands to commercial exploitation
unless there is real need to do so.
AREAS INCLUDED

DECISIVE FACTOR IN COUNTY
COMMISSIONER CONTEST

'It was the Paradise Dam issue
that won the County Commission race
in Sanders County. Jack Harwood, a
director of the Paradise Committee,
appeared for Paradise in Missoula,
ran without support of his wife's
folks, the Diehls, owners and opera
tors of a big sawmill in Plains, a
well-to-do family opposed to Paradise.
"DaIe Shook, not publicly COM

ey in the county, was his opponent.

Pletely drowned out by Paradise
Dam. Harwood campaigned in Dix
on in favor of Paradise, and won
by two to one. That put him in as
commissioner.
"All other county candidates in
Sanders supporting Paradise Dam won
easily. Not single candidate oppos-
ing Paradise won in Sanders County.
"a study of the returns shows that
in all three towns which will be flood
ed out, Dixon, Perma and Paradise,
and Gill were the winners.
Calculating the above, we find
that seven candidates running in
1853 appeared at the Missoula hear
ing in opposition to Paradise, seven
in support. Of the seven appearing
in person or letter against it, only
two were elected. Of the seven ap-
