Jensen, representing the Ore gon Trail Area council, listed four factors that "make for a better society." These include the home, church, school and youth. Compared With Iron par The Importance of work being done by scouters in respect to development of youth was lauded by Jensen. .He compared scouters with a bar of Iron, depicted in one of Robert Ripley's cartoons. "In Its raw state, a bar of Iron H worth $5. That same bar of iron made Into horseshoes is worth $10.50. Marie into needles, it has a value of $3,275. and if it is turned into balance springs for watches, it becomes worth $250, 000. "The same is true of any ma terial. Its value Is not determin ed by what's in it, but by what service that material performs. "What service do you per form?" Jensen asked. The work of scouting is done on a slim budget, according to Jen sen. He pointed out that only one cent of every $71.45 of buying power goes Into scouting In Doug las county. Jensen said that according to figures from Sales Management magazine, if the Oregon Trail council had one and one-half cent of each $71.42, "it would mor than realize its 1950 budget."

Oct. 21 OP) Hawaiian pineapple was put aboard a rail car here Thursday and a truckload of it already was enroute to a California cannery, in resumption of a riot -halted move. The truck shipment, a surprise, left for San Jose late Wednesday afternoon the first success met by Islcway. Ltd., in getting its pineapple delivered over opposi tion of CIO Longshoremen. The pineapple 11 tons of It In the truck and 49 tons going Into the rail car had been unloaded from a barge carrying 2,700 tons before 200 Longshoremen storm ed the riverfront terminal lat month and put a halt to the un loading. Whether the rail car would be moved by trainmen past a long shore picket was problematical. There were no pickets when the truck loaded and left. W. E. Mackey, longshore sec retary at Portland, expressed confidence that trainmen would observe the picket line. Thev did last month when the shipment attempt was bv truck. Then four trucks were damaged and two drivers hospitalized. A lone picket, Jack Keenan of Portland, lounged at the entrance to the port terminal this morn ing, reading a newspaper. He said another picket would be at the spur track leading to the ter minal by the time the boxcar was loaded. The hour for that was uncertain. The loading was going slowly with only three men on the job. No police were In evidence al though Gov. Douglas McKay yes terday ordered 14 state patrol men here and said others would be available if needed.
