The greater part of the meet

school building costs and the
needs of the districts in the
county. A chart showing that ad
dltlonal funds In the amount of
$2,(H1,000 are needed now to
build neces-.iury additional class
rooms, was distributed to per
sons at the meeting.
Elliott also distributed a chart
showing comparison between the
birthrate and enrollment figures
In the Itoseburg district for the
past IS years. The birthrate has
ascended rapidly In the past four
years and enrollments likewise
have shown an accelerated in
crease. "It is our belief," Elliott reaj
from the bulletin prepared for
the legislators, "that by im.reas
ing the Basic School Support levy
substantially, and setting aside
two million dollars annually of
this levy during the next iiien
nlum for construction aid to dis
tressed districts which are bond
ed to the limit, the school prob
lem would be met as far as the
state Is concerned."

FIR MISTLETOE? Considered by woodsmen as a rarity of na
ture is the above pictured growth on a Douglas fir tree branch.
Found by John F. Wellpot on his farm in the Melrose district,
the growth was brought to the real estate office of Leonard Ri
ley, who posed for the picture on the left, Riley reported he had
talked to several loggers and none had ever seen such a growth.
One of them suggested it might be what is referred to as fir
mistletoe, which is known to exist but is considered very rare.

Farm Price Support
Favored by Truman
(Continued from Page One)
price iupport program for corn,
wheat, and other grain.
Vital Question Raised
Of special interest to farmers,
was Mr. Truman's call for stand
by authority to put price ceilings
on scarce commodities. Much of
the public criticism of prices has
been aimed at food prices. This
raises the question whether the
administration still thinks ceil
ings should be set on farm prod
ucts. Agriculture officials told a re
porter they doubt Mr. Truman
would put any foods under ceil
ings al this time. Many farm
products have declined in price
since he last called for price
control authority. Furthermore,
they said, ceilings on higher
priced foods such as meats
might tend to discourage pro
duction and prolong shortages.
Food Stamp May Come
Also of particular Interest fb
farmers was Mr. Truman's re
quest for legislation aimed at
expanding food consumption by
low Income groups. He did not
spell out this request, hut the
administration has In the past
given much thought to a government-subsidized
food stamp
program which would be used to
help the poor buy more food.
Such a plan would provide
farmers with a larger market
and hence lessen chances of de
pressed prices and crop sur
pluses. Mr. Truman also renewed a
request for legislation giving the
Agriculture Department greater
authority to control speculation
In the farm commodity markets.
In 1917, when farm prices were
advancing sharply and specu
lative activity reached a record
peak, the president lashed out at
speculators.

passage, but brought a cleavage
that cost him four southern
states.
"I stand squarely behind those
proposals," he said.
Asserting "the heart of our
foreign policy is peace," the presi
dent requested that the hands of
the country's diplomats and of the
United Nations be strengthened
by passage of a universal training
law. He said its enactment "is es
sential to the security of the
United States."
Until a system of world security
Is established "upon which we can
safely rely," he said, "we cannot
escape the burden of creating and
maintaining armed forces suffi
cient to deter aggression."
Mr. Truman said "the state of
the union is good," but that pros
perity is threatened "at a number
of critical points in the economy."
He proposed his antl-J(nfl,atjon jjro
gram to put him in a position to
take effective action "at these dan
ger spots."
The president recommended a
minimum wage of at least 75
cents nn hour (It is now 40 cents),
a million new low-rent public
housing units over the next seven
years, expanded social security
coverage and other social meas
ures, and declared;
"We have rejected the discred
ited theory that the fortunes of
the nation should be In the hands
of the privileged few. We have
abandoned the 'trickle-down con
cept of national prosperity. In
stead, we believe that our eco
nomic system should rest on a
democratic foundation and that
wealth should be created for the
benefit of all.
"The recent election shows that
the American people are in favor
of this kind of societv and want
to go on improving it."
At the same time, the chief
executive said the government
"must work with Industry" as well
as with labor and the farmers "to
keep our industry running at full
speed."
Under the type of policies he
wants continued, he said, "our pri
vate enterprise system has
reached new heights of produc
tion." In support of his tax recommen
dations, the president said "It is
essential not only that the federal
budget be balanced, but also that
I here be a substantial surplus to
reduce Inflationary pressures, and
permit a sizable reduction In the
national debt, which now stands
at $252,000,000,000."
He did not specify the nature of
the "additional corporate taxes."
he wants imposed or how much
of the four billion he would raise
by this levy.
