Egg production nationally, the ' report say s, will set a new nasirtf in 1952. If the nation’s farmers raise more pullets in 1952 than they did in 19S1, larger egg sup plies will make 1953 prices even less favorable than those for the coming year. This is especially true, they add, in view of pros- | liects for more meat and uncertain business conditions. Oregon egg, poultry, and feed prires follow the national trend, the report says. By mid-Noy ember, the Oregon farm price barometer had risen to a new high level. Farm prices on the national level have also ad vanced to a point about 9 per cent above a year ago. Meanwhile, an almost identical Increase in the parity index of farm costs kept the purchasing power of farm pro ducts on a par with 12 month ago. The report says more animals are gathered around a smaller na tional feed supply, accounting for higher costs Ft'ed costs will stay above 1951 levels until a larger corn crop is product'd in the mid west . Fur farmers are among those feeling the pincers of higher costs. Peit prices are down as compared with a year ago and feed costs arc climbing. ............. .............................. rublloh«- ...... A4v»rtl«in( . Editor, rhoo»« M».

Mt v »ft Feed Costs Up; New Record Seen For Egg Supply ASSOCIATION Lighting Surprisingly Good We are making belated mention of some surprisingly I clever Christmas lighting during the holiday season. Like others perhaps we were dilatory in not driving around to make an inspection of the many decorations in this and ad joining communities. We are in accord with the lay group in that the Christ- mas season is becoming too commercialized, but believe as they do that decorations reflecting the true season, which means putting Christ back in Christmas should be encour aged. Perhaps because not enough people were encouraged to decorate is the chief reason others did not decorate or light up their homes or places of business. Last year the Chamber of Commerce inaugurated a lighting contest, which attracted interest since the winners of the contest received recognition in addition to a little finan cial reward and seemed to stimulate additional interest in a project of this sort. We hope some organization sees fit to revive the contest for the general interest it will create. There was some outstanding holiday lighting in the rural communities mentioned in a previous issue. One of, the most praiseworthy in Cottage Grove was the nativity scene portrayed in the window of Hansen Brothers. This. Christmas scene drew much comment and took a lot of time, talent and effort to make it stand out as it did. Broadening Our Readership Perhaps most of our readers have noted there is an in- creasing amount of news from our nearby rural communities. We hope to have other communities represented as time goes on. The thing that we would like to point out here is that most of us living in the South Lane-North Douglas area have common interests: otherwise we would be different from oth er localities over the nation. While the automobile has pretty well destroyed the com munity center as we knew it thirty years ago. this bad fea ture is offset by the fact that rivalries and animosities be tween communities is largely disappearing. This fact was recently evidenced in the dedication of the new Disston school gym building. So far as we could learn there was noth-1 ing but best wishes for the good fortune of the Disston gym. There was no jealousy, rivalry or animosity such as might hav^been noted in the earlier years.

These figures reflect the slump in birth rate during the depression, according to the census bureau. The bright spot of the long range picture is that there will be a substantial increase in the number of teen agers by 1960. nr u »• Bewildering Situation .. xi- „ . We believe the average American is pretty well bewil- dered at the national state of affairs. He is bewildered by the graft and corruption which has come to light in the bureau of internal revenue and the prospect of increasing taxes which is the result of our foreign commitments. We read a supposedly authoritative statement that the United States is now qr has loaned money to a total of forty-five nations. Also thkt'ione of the loans which were to be seif liquidating under the Marshall and kindred plans had been paid. In fact we are still pounng money into the hands of our first foreign bor- row^r. On top of this we will have a total of 2,000,000 men under arms soon. Most of them are to be stationed either in Europe or in Japan. If our information is correct, we will soon be aiding a billiou of the world's two billion population. The other billion comes under the sphere of Soviet Russia which has added several million to its orbit of influence without much of a Struggle and without any loans. In the meantime the United States has given war ridden nation» and China .several millions of dolla™ and we doubt if we have as many friends now, exclusive of China, which has turned against us as we did when we started pouring money into the hands of our war stricken neighbors. We do not believe that a total of a hundred and fiftv uuiuuu peopxe can cununue co aiu uie rest oi tne ounon witn- out sinking to the level of the people we are trying to help, certainly not without lowering our standard of living. Yet the present administration seems to be hellbent on reforming the world and raising its standard of living. Birth rate in Oregon, high as it is, is among the lowest of that of any state, according to recent report of U. S. Vital Statistics. As against average birth rate for all the states— 24.2 per thousand of estimated population—Oregon's birth rate was only 21.5. Only three states—New York, Connecti cut, and Massachusetts—showed a lower birth rate. Evi dently the school enrollment problem will be as great, if not greater, in most states than in Oregon—Oregon Voter. TOMBSTONE, ARIZONA, EPITAPH: “Government spending this year will total $88 billion—more than the entire national income in the boom year of 1929. Per capita cost has risen ... to $580 for this year’s spending, or 40 percent of the average per capita income of $1,435. Experience has it that when the tax take goes above 25 percent of the national income, inflation is here. Present tax bill of 40 percent places the nation well out on the inflation limb now.” "Either the state exists for the individual or the indi vidual exists for the state. In the latter case you have dic tatorship, whether you call it Communism, Fascism, or Per- onism, and how far the dictator goes depends on his own ruthlessness and the character of the people under him.” •—The Wall Street Journal.
