ROSEBURG, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1948 fHlRTEEM Oregon Turkey Growers Face Rosy Outlook Smaller Crop, Decrease In Cold Storage Supply Mean Prop in Prices By PaUL W. HARVEY, JR. SALEM, Way 27 P Oregon turkey growers will have a good . year in 1948, thanks 1 a smaller crop and a big drop In the num ber of colu storage turkeys on hand. That's the word from Noel Ben nion, extension poultryman at Oregon State College. He said the country will have 20 per cent iewer turkeys this year, and the number of turkeys in cold storage ii. down 50 per cent from' last year. That should hold prices up. In Oregon, there has been a drop In the number of breeder hens. But Oregon will export a record number of l,00o,000 poults and more than 2,000,000 hatching eggs this year. - Bennion says the demand for . poults and hatching eggs exceeds the supply. He said many more turkeys would be grown this year ' If producers could get eggs or young birds. While the national figures are down, Oregon hatcherymen have ' turned out 25 per cent more tur key ooults than they did a year ago. One Oregon turkey hatchery man, H. J. Bonie of Canby, won ' the grand championship with his poult exhibit at the midwest egg, chick and turkey poult show. It was held at Ames, Iowa, two weeks ago.

City Manager At Cottage Grove Out; City Slays Plan COTTAGE GROVE. Ore., May 27. UP) City Manager Ben Heinz resigned here yesterday I and his tction was quickly fol lowed by seven other city em ployes and a 20-man volunteer fire department that had been ; trained unde his supervision. Mass resignation of the city em ployes, mostly effective May 31, i was the result of the prir ary elections in 'vhich the city man-i ager form of government here was voted out by a 38-vote margin. 1 he majority ol those turning in their resignations were Heinr sympathizes and were hired since Heinz came here from Port land to become city manager last ! August 14. He was the first -Aty manager, after the city charts . i was approved last summer. Later volunteer, fire fepartment members said they wov'd remain on the job until replaeei beeuuse of the fire danger to the city. Phantom, Jones To Stage New Brawl Saturday Night Professional wrestling's hot test rivalry will be renew ' at the Roseburg Armory Saturday night, when the Phantom and Rufus "Puddin" Head" Jones c sh in a return engagement. Matchmaker Don Owen an nounced here Wednesdav th ' the two colorful mat villains had been signed for the feature event of his weekly grappling how. Although there will be only one other mate!., two top-rankm- scientific matmen will vie in the one-hour, three-fall preiiminar-' Al Szasz, the little dynamic Hun garian, and Milt Olson, the styl ist from Minnesota. While Jones is not on the best of terms with the Roseburg Com mission, he virtually demanded a return meeting against the mys tery man of the mat. The burly Detroit Negro claimed he was handicapped during the last meeting when he suffered an ankle injury when his foot be came entangled In the ring ropes and that the hooded hoodlum took advantage of his position. He is confident of downing the head butting meanie when thev meet this week. The Phantom did not hesitate in signing for the return tilt, and expressed assurance that he would again flatten the Negro "flatter than one of Aunt Jemima's pancakes." An added assurance that thi match will be an all-out, bloody brawl is the fact that Owen has promised the winner a future match against Bruno Angelo, the Italian who looked good here last week in defeating Gordon Hessell. Whether or not the world junior h avyweight title will be at stake depends on action by the Califor nia Athletic Commission. Al though Angelo won the title, a $1,000,000 law suit brought against Angelo bv a fan he had beaten has held up the belt. The second meeting between the two headbutting exponents promises to be one of the most hectic skirmishes seen in the local arena in the past year and that would be something to remember, local ringbirds say. Fans are urged to make early ringside seat reservations because one of the largest crowds in months is anticipated.
