Picketing wed dings certainly does just that. THE general run of Americans, who desire above everything else to see our great industrial system made as efficient as pos sible because they know that only in that way can we have the prosperity we all want, will withhold Judgment on the new labor bill until they have had time to see it in action long enough to draw intelligent con clusions as to Its usefulness or lack of usefulness. All sensible people know that the proof of the pudding is the eating thereof. If the new labor law proves to be (as the big la bor chiefs contend only a club to beat labor's brains out, intelligent people will vote eventually for canidates to congress who are pledged to repeal it. But if it should prove to be use ful In curbing abuses that have crept Into the exercise of union power, Intelligent, thoughtful people (who, in spite of all the cynics say, hold the long-pull bal ance of power In this country) will support candidates who Ciin be depended upon to uphold the bill, amending It ONLY to re move such faults as may develop In practice. That is about the way the situa tion will work out. THERE is at least a temporarily interesting development in ,hn urni-M iimira (l-nn, Ihfl Fllllch East Indies wheio it had ap peared up to Saturday morning that the new Republic of Indone sia (representing the native pop ulations) and the Dutch colonial government were about at the point of starting to SHOOT again. At this critical moment, the United States slate department "requests" both (actions to "co operate without delay In the Im mediate formation of an interim federal government," and PROM ISES FINANCIAL AID FROM AMERICA when such a govern ment Is established. A dispatch from Hatavia ( for nler Dutch East Indies capital) says there are Indications that our state department's "request" has at least averted the beginning of Dutch military operations on Monday. What the insurgent Re public of Indonesia will do about it has not been determined as this is written. HERE, in a nutshell, is our pro posal to the belligerent fac- 11,11. ..r,..;. ,1..,..; , without delay in the formation of an interim ( temporary t govern ment representing both sides. Be gin to BUILD I'P your country instead of tearing it down. If you will do that, we will provide fi nancial aid in getting you back onto your feet." It is substantially (he proposi tion we are making to the coun tries of Western Europe. In In donesia, as in Europe, we are anxious for people to get back to work M A K I N C, THINGS, i Among other things, we get rub bcr and tin from Indonesia.) WHAT we arc trying to do is to get people ALL OVER THE WORLD to quit fighting and squabbling and throat-cutting and GO TO WORK. It is a (arseeing and statesmanlike program. K we can put it over, it will be world leadership of the sound and constructive kind to bo ex pected from America. It will cost money, naturally but good things seldom come cllfcap. OVEN-READY TURKEYS . By CHARLES V. STANTON .; Among' the many developments to ease work of the house wife is a packaged turkey completely ready to be placed in the oven, according to J. C. Leedy, former Douglas County Agricultural Agent, who visited in. Roseburg recently., Jlr. Leedy, a vice-president;, in the Norbest Turkey ; Growers Association, is manager of a processing plant at Sacramento. - The housewife who dislikes the task of plucking and draw ing a turkey, and preparing it for the oven, can now obtain a choice, siiecjiilly -.tialecjted, government j inspected, "oven ready""fowir It, needs -bill)' to7,be'stuf fed;',with the,, desired type of dressing and shoved into the oven.' ' ' ' . - It comes frozen, wrapped in cellophane, and packaged in an attractive carton. It has been killed, dressed, drawn, pressed into package form and frozen, all within a space of a comparatively few minutes from the time it was delivered by the grower to the processing plant. Naturally the cost is somewhat higher than for birds purchased through normal channels. Only premium type turkeys are selected. Any minor imperfection, particularly a break in the skin, causes rejection. Cost of preparation, packaging, freezing and stor age must be added to the retail price, but, because of the aversion of many housewives to kitchen preparation of a fowl, together with the time saved by the packaging method, the experimental plant has had little trouble in disposing of its product,-Leedy reports. The Norbest association is a subsidiary of the Northwest ern Turkey Growers Association, with which the Oregon Turkey Growers cooperative is affiliated. Processing and packaging turkeys have necessitated a great deal of experimentation, Leedy reports. A turkey is a rather ungainly fowl, and the task of getting wings and legs into a neat, compact package offered many problems. It was found through experimentation that carcasses could be sub jected to light pressure without damage to the meat. A band was devised to hold "drumsticks" tight to tho body. Wings could be folded. Thus it was made possible to fit the com pletely dressed bird, after the neck had been removed, into a comparatively small mass, slip it into a cellophane bag, pack in pasteboard carton, and give quick-freeze treatment, without in any way impairing flavor or quality. To the grower the method offers numerous advantages, chief of which is that birds may be held until fully mature. Too often, due to weather conditions, turkeys, particularly in Douglas County where the growing season is exception ally long, do not mature in time for the Thanksgiving trade. Occasionally it is not possible to market an entire flock even by Christmas or Nw Year's, if the Fall season has been unusually warm and dry. An immature bird is covered with pin feathers, and is not as fully fleshed as a mature fowl. The quick-freeze method makes it possible to hold birds until pin feathers are gone and maximum growth has been ob tained. After being frozen tho birds may bo held in storage for years if necessary. Leedy reports that turkeys kept in frozen stato for three years were found equal in quality to those freshly frozen. The Norbest cooperative to date has produced only a lim ited pack of "oven-r-.ady" turkeys. The process, however, is attracting considerable attention from independent inter ests. A largo-scale advertising campaign, it is believed, could quickly popularize this particular treatment for turkeys. Here, in our opinion, is an industry which could fit most readily into Douglas (bounty's agricultural economy. Tho large number of turkeys grown here, the exceptionally high quality of our birds, and the extra profits to bo obtained from processing could placo moro dollars of income into hands of growers and processors. Mrs. Eula Roxie Gambia Of Yoncalla Passes Mrs. Eula Roxie Gamble, GO, wife of John R. Gamble of Yon calla, died Sunday at their home after a short Illness. Sho was horn at Decatur, i'enn., Feb. 10, INKS, and was a resident of Yoncalla for the past 10 years. She was a member of the Baptist Church.
