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

recent Far West Turkey Show at
Turlock, Calif., where he served
as a Judge.
"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.

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

Industries." "Do you want a hide
factory next to your home?"
Mayor Flegel asked, In illustrat

zoning out objectionable bus
inesses from residential areas.
"Roseburg has the lowest tax
rate in the state outside of Yon-

Railroad Paralysis Would
Cripple Lumber Industry
PORTLAND, Dec. 8. Ut
Lumbering and allied forest In
dustries in Western Oregon would
be crippled by any tie-up of South
ern Pacific trains.
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.

where he had recently retired

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

Following war service, Dr. Mel
vin served as medical officer or

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.
