James Brinks Is
Douglas County's
Bee Inspector
With fund appropriated by the
last legislature now available to
inspect honeybees for the pur
pose of eliminating disease, par
ticularly American foulbrood,
James Brinks ot Oakland has
been appointed bee inspector lor
Douglas county. He is an ex
perienced beekeeper and will cov
er his territory as fast as time
and. weather conditions permit.
A. Burr Black, state supervisor
of apiary Inspection for the Ore
gon department of agriculture,
says thftt because Inspection was
held up this season until appropri
ated funds became available, bee
disease has become serious n
some localities..
He urges that beekeepers give
the local Inspector full coopera
tion In. locating outbreaks of di
sease so the situation may be
cleaned up for the protection of
other bees In the area. There are
no fees for inspection. However,
the bees must be registered with
the state. Owners of bees not
registered are subject to penal
ties outlined In the Oregon api
ary law, which the apiary in
spector Is charged with enforc
ing. Officials feel that with the
active cooperation of beekeepers
edthe diseases of bees will be re
duced to the point no bees may
be kept without much danger of
losing them from foulbrood.
They jtresa the fact that bees
are needed In this area to pol
linlze the cherries and melons
and that this phase of the bee
industry is even more important
financially to the district than
the honey produced.

Two other editors have been

Five of the men were reached
for comment last night One ac

the weekly press," three said
they were not associated with a
newspaper when they took -tate
lobs, and the other declared he
saw nothing wrong with taking
a state job.
The Journal explained It made
an Investigation at the suggestion
of the American Society of News
Daoer Editors. The ASNE recent

newspapermen by the state ol Illinois.
The Atlanta daily listed the ap

Citizens Pay Off
Debts When Rain
Fails On July 29
WAYNESBURO, Pa., Aug. 1.
!P) Waynesburg's citizens rue
fully hung up their umbrellas
Saturday and started paying off
bets they made that It would
rain as usual on July 29.
It almost always rains In
Wayensburg on July 29. But Fri
day, for the sixth time In 72 years,
there was nary a drop of mois
ture. Everyone waited for It all day
long. And no one waited for a rain
cloud more eagerly than Attor
ney John M. Daily, official "rain
maker" for this little western
Pennsylvania community of 8,-500.
Daily has a traditional bet with
Vince Johnson, Pittsburgh (Post
Gazette) newspaper columnist
that when the 29th day of July
rolls around, there'll be rain in
Waynesburg.
Daily lost his hat to Johnson
for the second straight year, but
Rainmaker Daily didn't give up
through the whole sunny day.
At nightfall he even talked the
city council Into ordering day
light saving time suspended for
an hour at midnight. That gave
him 25 hours to save his hat and
the old Waynesburg tradition.
But It wasn't enough.
I m dog tired and discourag
ed," said Daily.
"People have been kidding me
a lot why I ve had phone calls
from all over the country.
Daily had plenty ot support
during his fruitless ratn vigil.
Some 3,000 persons crowded bor

Daily called tne rainless aay
a temporary bad break." "Sure,"
he said. "I'll take all comers next
year we'll have a downpour."
Coal Representatives
From Japan Visit U. S.
SEATTLE, Aug. 1. CP) Six
representatives of Japan's coal
mining industry were here on the
last phase of their two-month tour
of United States mines.
8hey will fly to Tokyo Tuesday
after visiting mammoth Grand
Coulee dam and its power-generating
facilities, Mount Rainier
and a Washington state coal mine.
A spokesman said they were
travel-weary but felt the tour l.as
been a profitable one. The acting
mayor and a group of business
men met them at the airport
gram until congress can assure
itself that western Europe has
evolved a detailed plan for mili
tary coordination, cooperation
and unit.
Marshall said he does not be
lieve there will be any difficulty
getting the benefitting nations to
cooperate. He said he thinks "the
formal conclusions ' for coopera
ion have been reached already.

Maragon testified that he once
went to tne war Assets aamin
istration office in New York with
two men who wanted to buy sur
plus machinery for use abroad,
and had asked his advice as to
how to go about it.
He said they purchased $30.

they later became dissatisfied
with the transaction and sold the
machinery at a $10,000 loss.
Maragon swore he never re

Maragon told the subcommit
