TWO NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG, OREGON WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1948 Turkeys Up Must Be to Standards To Capture Prizes By JEROME SHELDON Most popular attraction at the Northwestern Turkey bhow fills week are the long Judging tables, where awards are placed on the classes of birds as they are brought from the cages by the high school boys assisting In the show. The birds must conform to cer tain standards. They are Judged for their symmetry, health and vigor, the condition of their legs, wings, heads and necks, and of course their broad, deep breasts. As many as 40 birds are Judged at a time. The high school boys, mem bers of the Future Farmers of America, hold the birds, side by side, while the judge moves up those which show quality, and sends back to their cages others which cannot place. The final selection of the top awards Is hard. The Judge feels the birds' feath ers, tests the firmness of their ilcsh, puts the prospective cham pions In a nearby coop where they can strut back and forth. When the decision Is made, the Judge H. P. Griffin of Sonoma, Calif. takes up a microphone ti explain his reasons for his se lection. Although a number of varieties of turkeys are on exhibit In the Northwestern Turkey Show, the principal breed Is the bronze tne Droad breasted bronze, which has been developed In the last 20 years largely through the efforts of this, one of the oldest and best turkey shows In the Industry. Easterner 'Impressed' An Interested spectator at the turkey show Tuesday was H. H. Kauffman, poultry extension spe cialist at Pennsylvania State Col lege, who came here from the The Weather U. 8.

"I can't help but be Impressed," he remarked, "by the broad breasted conformation of the birds on display and by the in terest of the people taking part In keeping the show moving. The arrangement with the FFA to as sist can mean a lot to the Judge." Of the dressed turkey display, Kauffman commented that the birds are arranged to be pleasing to the housewife, and "after all, It's the consumer who counts with turkey producers." Of his own state, Kauffman explained that Pennsylvania Is the largest turkey producing state east of the Mississippi. One and a half million birds are grown there each year, with a "very large number dressed right on the farm and sold directly to the consumer." He said that turkey producers In the East have developed to a higher degree the local turkey markets selling to the people of their own communities than the Industry generally has on the West Coast. Here, a large per centage of the birds are shipped to oiner parts oi tne country. S. P. Strike Threat Draws Mediation Move (Continued from Page One) signed William F. Mitchell to the case. He Is due here Friday. Truman Could Step In In Washington, President D. V. Robertson of the Union would not comment on the prospects of reaching an agreement before Dec. 15. "We've got our date set," he said. "If they (the employers) want to settle It between now and then, it's up to them." Union officials here said that under the law the only remain ing provision for a delay In the strike would be for President Truman to name a .fact-finding board. This board would be elven 30 days to hear the case and 30 more in which to report to the president, buch a board could only make recommendations.

Other Side Presented Mayor Flegel Initiated the forum by offering to West Rose burgers police and zoning protec tion and a "greater diversity of Industries." "Do you want a hide factory next to your home?" Mayor Flegel asked, In illustrat ing the benefits to be derived by zoning out objectionable bus inesses from residential areas. "Roseburg has the lowest tax rate in the state outside of Yon- calla," Johnson said, in picturing to the negative side the fallacy of a mgn tax Dugaooo neia Dy many West Roseburg residents, snoum mev come Into the r v.

A West Coast Lumberman's Association spokesman, who de clined to be named, said today 80 percent of the state's mills would close, laying off 20,000 to 25,000 worners, n a tnreatcned strike occurs. He said the bulk of the mills lack storage facilities and the lumoer marketing situation does not warrant maintaining produc tion In the face of any such ship ping halt.

Melvin, Former Head Of YA Hospital Dies Word has been received of the death late last week of Dr. George ra. meivin at uuitport, Miss., where he had recently retired from the Veterans Administra tion alter approximately 30 years of service. Dr. Melvin served as manager of the local Veterans Adminis tration hospital from April. 1942. uansieiruiK 10 jaCKSOn, Miss., in April, 1948. The deceased was born in Mis sissippi, attended the University of Virginia, and received his medical education at Tulane Uni versity and interned in a New York City hospital. Prior to the first World War he was in pri vate practice in Mississippi and during the war served as a medi cal officer in the Army in the psychiatric service.

Remedying of Power Shortage is Ordered (Continued from Page One) other utilities in Washington, Oregon and Northern Idaho, a more definite . curtailment pro gram. The state departments have no Jurisdiction over the Bonneville Power Administration or such public systems as City Light at Seattle and Tacoma, but they have promised to Join In. The utilities were also directed to "continue to cooperate" with all other Northwest utilities in such load curtailment programs as have already been started, such as "load molding," the shift ing of certain power demands to off-peak periods, and advertising appeals to their customers. Newspaper Job Topic Of Editor Stanton's Talk (Continued from Page One) each department's work. He likened the editor of a newspaper to the prewar situa tion in Japan, when every time something auDeareri In n mm. the government didn't like, the editor was Jailed. It eventually came to the point where an edi tor was hired only as the man to spend the time in Jail. On a newsDaoer usnallv ha said, the editor Is merely a figure head, to entertain and meet peo ple, hear complaints, and "go to jail." Employes' Tasks Told He described the city editor the editor's right hand man, as the one who does most of the work a sort of "buck sergeant" .--peaK. ine news depart ment Is made up of the tele graph editor, and reporters under the city editor. On a large paper he said, there may be a head for each department, such as sports radio, society, features, pictures and so on, with men under these heads, but on a small paper each man is responsible for several Jobs. He described the setup for wire news, offered by such news agencies as the Associated Press, United Press and International News Service. The Associated Press, from which the News Review receives its wire service, has seven chief bureaus. Local service comes from the Seattle bureau, with a break in the ser vice for state news out of the Portland bureau. Also, he said, each of the 35 newspapers served in Oregon, Washington and a part of Idaho may break in with news of their own, typed out on a key board on the teletype machine. Local news, when deemed of sufficient importance, may be re edited and sent on to the Seattle office, or, if of greater impor tance, be released to the nation al trunk line. Handling Of News In explaining how the front page is filled in, he said each j day the press service files a i budget of coming top stories as the most important happen-1 ings of the last 24 hours. These stories follow durin? the dav on the wire, with new leads sent out when more important infor mation is obtained, and with art. I ditions to the story as details are learned. These are all put to gether and edited for use in the ; newspaper. lop .tones are "dummied for the front page, and the remainder oi tne iront page is filled up with short "filler" stories, picked to fit a given space. The use of "leads" and "slugs," thin pieces of metal, are used, he said to "Justify" or space out the columns to make them tight. In the aft ernoon, advance stories and fea ture materials for the next day's use usuany come on the wire. When the pages are put to gether, he said, a mat is "Yolled" and a cylinder "cast" from the mat. The cylinder Is then tooled and placed on the press for print ing of the paper. a newspaper, he said, has Its own language, unfamiliar to many on the outside. When a printer says, "Throw that pie in the hell box." he merelv means to put the metal which has been used Into a pot to be menea jor re-use. Announcement was made by Dave Carroll of the Christmas party scheduled for next Tues day night at Riversdale Grange at 6:30. This will be a "big" affair, he said, and a large crowd Is expected. The final board of directors meeting of the year was called by President ' M. M. "Red" Nel son for Wednesday night, at a place to be announced to the directors. w ) Barbie Wants a Home for Christmas!
