The Importance of work being

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

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."
Sales management magazine

Pineapple Put On
Rail Car; Truck
Leaves With Load
THE DALLES. Ore.. 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.

Truman Urges
Get-Together To
Settle Strikes
WASHINGTON, Oct.
President Truman suggested
Thursday that labor and manage
ment get together and settle the
coal and steel strikes in the In
terest of themselves and the
country.
The president told a news con
ference he had ho present plans
for seizure of elthr industries and
he still hones that mediation will
be successful.
The sooner employers and em
ployes come to a conclusion and
go back to work, he said, the
better It will be for the country
and themselves.
The twin strikes bv Fhilip Mur
ray's CIO Steelworkei s and John
L. Lewis' United Mini-workers
have idled about a million men
for almost three week-s.
Mr. Truman was asked what he
would do if mediation efforts by
conciliation director Cyrus Ching
ran to onng about settlement.
He replied he would cross that
bridge when he comes to it.
Mr. Truman said in response
to another question that he still
plans to ask Congress for repeal
of the Taft-Hartley act.
The 81st Congress thus far has
refused to wipe out the 1947 labor
law which Mr. Truman pledged
to repeal.
UTILITIES NEED RAIN
TACOMA Maybe you like
these crisp cold mornings, but
the Northwest Utilities confer
ence committee think we should
be having some rain,
"The power situation In the
Northwest today Is in delicate
balance." the committee said.
"Lack of rain may demand sharp
curtailment in the use of electric
ity around the clock."
Even If the upper Columbia
River area gets a normal amount
of rain, the committee warned,
the winter's power problems will
be, at best, a tight squeak.
