Sen. Ed Fadely
Runs Beaches
State Senator Ed Fadeley of
Eugene, Democratic Congres
sional candidate in the 4th Dis-
toict, was "in the running" in
Curry county in more ways than
one this past weekend.
Fadeley, who is entered in the
National Junior Champ Track
a n d Field Meet "Candidates
Race" in Eugene August 17, as
well as the 4th District race,
combined "roadwork" with pol
itics on Lone Ranch Beach and
in Port Crford, reeling off a ser
ies of wind sprints as part of his
training program.
Fadeley, a new member of
the Curry County Livestock As
sociation, participated in the
Curry County Fair Parade on
Saturday and helped to serve in
th e Free Lamb Barbecue on
Sunday.
On Saturday afternoon, he
toured Brookings with an en
tourage of l o v e l y volunteer
workers, shaking hands and ad
miring the beautiful southern
Oregon coast.
On his way back to Gold Beach,
the Fadeley caravan stopped at
Lone Ranch Beach, where the
candidate then ran the length
of the cove on the sand.
Fadeley considers the coast
between Port Orford and Brook
ings as magnificent as any on
the Pacific.
"I understand the need for a
road to this area" Fadeley said.
"I came in Friday from Grants
Pass via Crescent City. "
Fadeley also ran on the beach
just south of Port Orford on Sun
day, on his way back to Eugene.
The Senator plans to be in
Curry county at least once a-
gain this fall.

A delegation of Japanese beef
industry leaders took a look at
the Oregon beef industry last
week—and they liked what they
saw. The Oregon Cattlemen’ s
Association ar d the Oregon Beef
Council were assisting as hosts
to this Japanese' eef team. This
Japanese s u r v e y team w ill
spend three weeks In the United
States observing reef industry
activities.
What made the v is it doubly
significant Is the expectations
fo r Japan to Increase the levels
of Its beef imports from 42.S
m illlo r pounds in 196" to 45
m illion In 1959 and p .s s ltly 55
m illion In 19 '0.
Denji Ogawa, leader of the
five-man d e le g a t io n visiting
Oregon and other western ceef
centers, and Chairman, Japan
Meat Trade Cooperatives, said
Japan is looking to the United
States as a potential supplier of
prime and choice beef fo r "the
restaurant and carriage trade.”
Japan is also Interested in

comparable quality beef from

D e s c r ib in g the numerous
meetings which Oiogon cattle
industry leaders had w ith
visito rs during their three-day
stay in Oregon, Denny Jones,
President of the Oregon Cattle
men’ s Association, said that
e x c e p t fo r the necessity of

it was much like any gather

about the things all cattlemen

Brooks pointed to the success
which Oregon wheat growers
have had In persuading the Jap
anese consumer to accept wheat
products as an Increasing share
of their diet, and suggested that
something sim ila r could be done
In beef promotion.
Harold Kummer of Hillsboro,
Chairman of the Western States
Meat Packers Association, who
took the visitors on a tour of
Portland area packing plants,
said, "There is definitely a
market and our main problem
w ill be to get a quota. There is
no question but what our North
west meats w ill f ill their needs,
and considering the high price
they are paying fo r top grades,
we are monetarily in a posi
tion to meet the competition.”
Fred Phillips, OCA F irs t
Vice-President, said, "T h is is
a coming market that merits
a lot of exploration. With the
big airlines such as the OS’s
there is nothing to prevent us
from shipping to Japan in a

rather than frozen beef.” He
added that freight would not
be too great ar item on quality

Joe S m ith , Klamath Falls
