Beguiling Outlook On Human Race
Provokes Laughter, Tears And Pity
December Menu Is Abbreviated
A provcstive and scintillating
book, "The Art of Folly." is by
Paul Taborl. in ma Doole ho n
rewriting the history of mankind
in terma of the three F's i'ad,
fashion and Folly. .
Among the foolish fads which he
presents is the dueling mania of
the so-ralird civilized countries;
. the epidemics of suicide; the tulip
- craze that ruined the Dutch econ-
mv: the lunacy of the South Sea
- Bubble and John Law's half-baked
. financial schemes. He describes
- fads in medicine, like those of
"natural magic" and "sympathe
tic cures." He examines fashions
in beards, beauty pitches, bathing,
garters and stockings: presents
portraits of some of the kings of
" fashion: holds up the mirror to the
great ladies of the world who in
spired and led the changing tastes
of the last centuries. The final sec
tion is devoted to pure folly
the folly of the wise, the idiocy of
. astrology and occultism, of Man s
constant attempt to forecast the
future and bit constant failure to
- do so.
Has Fascinating Cast
' The unforgettable portrait of Pe
ony the woman who sought life
'. with sll her being is told in "The
Red Peony," a novel by Lin Yu-
tang. She could not cry at her
- husband s funeral and people
'. talked. Later, as she sailed across
the Yangstze River, she felt a
'. deep sense of finality, of at last
being on the way to a new future;
' the closing of one chapter of her
; life and the opening of another. On
the funeral ship that was taking
her to the required 100 days of
mourning with her dead husband's
family, she luxuriated in her bliss
ful new found solitude snd read a
copy of a letter she had written
to her lover, Chin Chu. Beautiful,
intelligent, impetuous and inde
pendent, Feony is no ordinary
woman, and her life after her bus
band's death is no ordinary exist
ence. With style, grace and wit.
Dr. Lin paints sn unforgettable
picture of live and love in cnina
at the end of the I9tn century.
Pine War Nevel
"Warriors for the Working Day
by Peter Elstob is the story of
brave men whose courage includes
the ability to recognize that, for
every man, there ia a breaking
point.
These men are hardened mem
bera of the Royal Tank Corps, who
saw bloody desert battles in the
Middle East. These young "old
soldiers" were returned to England
for leave and reorganization. Many
of the most experienced men are
reassigned to stiffen newly-trained
regiments. For all, veterans and
new men, there is the prospect of
the coming invasion of Europe and
their fear of the German Tiger
tank and the dreaded "M" fright
eningly effective tank piercing
weapon. The atory of several of the
men is not that of ordinary heroics
nor is it a now-typical study of
incompetence and disillusionment
It is a vivid and honest account of
a campaign from the point of view
of the average aoldier, showing how
boys under the stress of action sua
denly become men, snd how brave
men as suddenly find that they
can t go on being brave.
Ranch Gamblings
Y WAYNI MOSHiR
Deugles County Extension Agent
The Douglas County Livestock
Association annual meeting Is Fri
day, and it is open to anyone who
is interested in attending.
There are several things on the
program that should be of Interest
to everyone. One in particular that
1 would like to recommend is the
talk by Dr. Grant Blanch of Ore
gon State University concerning
"Farm CorooraUons and Estate
Planning." This is something that
certainly concerns the farm.
Farm corporations have some
advantages over other forms of
rsnch ownershio and, consequent
ly, can offer some advantages as
far as transfer of ownership to
the farm or some tag advantages.
Of course they also have some
disadvantages of the farm corpor
ation. I think it ts a report that
everyone will get a lot out of,
and I would certainly invite you
to come.
Research Repartee)
I don't know how many folks
here in the county receive copies
of the bulletin, "Oregon's Agricul
tural Progress." This bulletin re
ports some of the research work
that ia being done at Oregon State
University and is available free
to anyone in the state who would
like to send in and request it. It
does give some very interesting
information. Many times the ar
ticles are not of concern her in
Douglas County, but it is good in
formation and oftentimes there
are articles that are of interest
here in Douglas County. This par
ticular issue the aummer-fall
issue of 1961 has two or three
articles which I think would bear
reading by most residents of
Douglas County.
A couple of the article that I
think are of great interest are
"More Money from Better Man
aged Farm Forests, "Sheep Can
Increase Douglas fir Seedling
Growth" and "Basic Research
Suggests Bark Beetle Control.
These three articles give some
very interesting information to
anyone who lives here in the Doug
las fir region. All of us here, in
some ways, benefit from the tim
ber that is grown in the country,
and learning a little bit more
about it should be of Interest to
everyone.
Article Cited
Articles that would be of spe
cial interest to people who grow
both trees and livestock would be
the article "Sheep Can Increase
Douglas fir Seedling Growth
This reports a Utile bit of research
work that was done at Oregon
State University in regards to
grazing fir plantings.
According to this study which
covered about six years, they got
about a 27 per cent increase in
the growth of Douglas fir where
they properly grazed the forage
that was produced around the un
derneath the fir trees. If we real
ly learn to manage our woodlands
we can raise some stock on them
snd utilize some of the feed that
is produced without csusing harm
to the trees. This is contrary to
much of the belief of the foresters
in the Douglas fir region. It points
up a great need for research in
trying to determine methods of
pasturing woodlanas so a minimum
of damage to the fir trees will re
sult.
Bulletin Free
There are other articles in the
magazine that would be of inter
est, 1 think, to most folks and 1
certainly would recommend your
reading it. Kemember, you can get
this magazine simply by writing
to the Bulletin Clerk, Industrial
Building, Oregon State Univer
sity, Corvallis, Oregon, and ask

NORTHWEST FOOD REVIEW
By MARTHA A. POOLTON
Consumer Marketing Agent
Written for The Associated Press
Here in the Pacific Northwest
Consumers wilt see attractive
prices on pork with the retail
price level continuing a downward
trend this week. Slight increases
may be noticed in the featured
prices for beef, however, as a
result of the current shortage of
choice grade cattle for the local
market.
Chuck cuts of beef will continue
to be good values for the consum
er, even at the slightly higher
prices. Lamb prices remain gen
erally steady along with those fur
poultry.
Among the reasonably priced
fruits available on the market are
bananas, grapefruit and Emperor
grapes. Cranberries are in good
supply right now, also.
Apples are running in the mod
erate price range with all varie
ties being ottered at similar
prices including Winesaps, red
and golden Delicious, and Rome
Beauties. There is a wide range
in price for avocados now, with
the Florida varieties available at
lower prices than the new crop
Fuertes from California. The
Fuertes are still in comparatively
short supply and prices are mod
erate. Lemons, limes and oranges are
also in the medium price range.
Except for the Florida juice or
anges, you may find oranges are
relatively high in price.
Anjou pears, pomegranates,
persimmons and all varieties of
I nuts in-thesheU are moderately
priced items, also. A few pine
apples and papayas are available
at luxury prices.
In the low price range for veg
etables consumers will still find
cabbage, carrots, celery, potatoes
and winter squash among the best
values. Hubbard squash from
Whidbey Mand is in good supply
along with Acorn squash from
Oregon.
Oregoo is also supplying our
markets with broccoli and Brus
sels sprouts which are in the me
dium price range. Cauliflower and
dry onions are generally moder
ate buys now, since much of the
supply is coming from out of state
production areas in Oregon and
California.
Some corn is coming in from
the Coachilla Valley while most
of the cucumbers are from Flori
da, currently. Late crop green
peppers, another moderate buy,
are arriving from Texas. Other
vegetables in this price group are
lettuce, radishes, green onion3,
spinach and sweet potatoes..
Tomatoes are an item to watch
price-wise. Some stores will fea
ture tomatoes at moderate prices:
however, the vine-ripened type
are scarce with production in the
Chula Vista area of California
about through. Both Florida and
Mexico tomatoes are adding to

Heavy Increase Seen
In College Enrollment
PORTLAND (AP) Total en
rollment in Oregon colleges could
reach 110.000 if the percentage of
annual increase continues. Dr.
James H. Jensen told a Portland
Chamber of Commerce forum
luncheon recently.
Jensen, president of Oregon
State University, said an Increase
from 49,000 to 83.000 can be ex
pected by 1970, based on popula
tion estimates.
He said Oregon Stat may have
to go on double shifts to get more
use from existing classrooms.
Four and five-hour courses may
have to be substituted for one and
two-hour courses. Jensen said.
Jensen said college administra
tions and faculties are trying to
make adjustments for bigger stu
dent bodies without sacrificing the
quality of the education.
"There is a real need for all
citizens to consider carefully the
problem of maintaining a hieh
standard of higher education," he
saia.
