DeMartin Signer
Of "Argument"
PORTLAND M. L. DeMartin,
Curry county stockman, is one
cf the several Oregon taxpayers
who signed an argument in the
1950 Oregon Voters’ pamphlet
to sustain the public welfare act
( f the 1919 legislature which re­
peals the defunct and inopera­
tive 1918 Dunne pension measure.
Mr. DeMartin’s position is that
Oregon should vote 308X yes to
uphold the 1949 legislature’s act
through which aged persons in
Oregon are now receiving more
aid per month than the Dunne
pension tried to promise through
its unworkable provisions.
The voters’ pamphlet argument
was sponsored by the Public Wel­
fare
Education Committee, a
citizen’s group headed by Judd
Greenman, Vernonia lumberman,
who was chairman of Oregon’s
first welfare or relief commit­
tee. Other signers of the argu­
ment with Mr. DeMartin were:
Victor Boehl, Grants Pass
dairyman and Grange leader.
William Wood, Depoe Bay Mo­
tor Court operatotr.
Herbert Chandler, Baker coun­
ty stockman.
Morris E. Wilson,

Port Orford Boy Scout Relates Thrills
Experienced At Valley Forge Jamboree
Thunder Storm
Ends Dry Spell
what 14-year-old Boy Scout Rich-
aid Thomas said when he was
interviewed about the national
jamboree, at Valley Forge, Pa.
Then he went on to tell of
the many exciting activities he
took part in and the places he
stopped and the scenery he saw
on the way.
On the train leaving Eugene
were 420 boys from Oregon and
northern Caifornia. Richard said
the highlight of the trip back
east was an all-day bus tour of
Yellowstone National Park. The
scouts also stopped at St. Louis
to see the Forest Park Zoo, and
spent two days at Washington,
D. C., where they toured the
city and met Senator Wayne
Morse.
At Valley Forge they camped
in true scouting tradition in pup
tents in well-organized camping
sections. Most of the time they
did their own cooking, staying in
camp until noon each day.
