appeal of the state W, C. T. U. In
its drive for $125,000 for the estab

has been made by State Chairman
John E. Wheeler, following the re

various counties of the state.
"It is my belief that this drive will
be successfully completed now that
the field workers are making their
actual solicitation of funds," said
Mr. Wheeler. “The movement is too
worthy and too urgent for the gen

neglect.”
Hood River, which had a quota of

Half of the 5000 turkeys eaten in

You ask, “Where does the Wil

of turkeys?”
To be truthful, the Willamette
valley doesn’t cut much of a figure
in turkey production. Turkeys re
