OREGON FARMERS^ NEED SLAUGHTER TAG Farm 'ers need slau g h ter tags, sta te s Ken P riest, extension ag ent, according to news received from the O regon's C attlem en 's As sociation. U nder th e new m eat d ealers’ licenses act all persons who sell or tran sp o rt a farm -k ill ed anim al need a free bona fide producers tag. T h ere are a v a il able frem th e departm ent offices in Salem or P o rtlan d or from your livestock brand inspectors and rip . M illionaire, and Pink Q u a rt et. Mrs. B rady brought sample? slips w ith blossoms of these new v a r ieties plus some of the old re g u la r standbys, th a t w ere put on display for the m em bers to see. All the- m em bers and visitors welcomed Mrs. Brady's ta lk on fuchsias as th ?y are one of th • good growing flowers of this com m unity, and ft ey were all very much in terested in the sample's of some of th e new varieties. Most of those sam ples w ere brought from Mrs. B rady's garden in P o rt land. and som e w ere brought from Mr. Will C rissey’s garden here in Brookings, who also is an ack nowledged authority on fuchsia;. X some sheriffs. The departm ent says locker p lan t o perators and m eat dealers cannot legally accept farm -killed carcasses coming in w ithout these tags. T he bona fide producer tag should also lie on the carcasses which the farm ers move over the public roads to th eir own lockers. w om an m ayor to do the cleaning.

I suppose it is only n a tu ra l th a t we who liv«? in the sm aller tow ns of Oregon should desire to look w ith pride on o u r 'arg e m ajor city Portland. It is equally nor? mal I imagine for us to become som ew hat d istrau g h t when satro city conducts itself in such a m an ner as to lead us to susptx't th at its only claim to being a m etro p olis is its population. We w ere m uch encouraged a couple of y ears back when a m ove m ent was sia rie d to bring about the construction of a recreation a re a which would lift the city out of the hibernation it had enjoyed for more th a n a q u a rte r of a cen tu ry . We w ere equally pleased wh’ i a highly efficient propo- ganda cam paign brought citizen approval for th e w orthw hile e n ter- prize. But then som ething happened. ; W ith millions of dollars involved, w ith he backers of various sites [xiunding th'.'ir respective drum s, the city governm ent, in order to avoid w hat might bo a d isastro u s !

E x p erts from far aw ay places m ade supposedly scientific evaluations of pro|Mised sites, the sjiecial com m ittee each day postponed having to m ake the fateful decision; and ■ all this tim e, th e city governm ent, safe in its bomb shelter of shifted I responsibility, w atched the fire works. Then w ith pressure from the public and th e press calling for I a halt to the dilly-dallying, the s |" c ia l com m ittee, w ith fingers ero ed, released its decision D elta P ark nd w ith th e ink barely dry on the press announcem ent of the decision, the city govern m ent announced th a t it would op pose the site selected.
