Entrance: The Branch Bank 1I7ITH the enactment of the Glass-Steagall bill by con T f gress, branch banking has come to Oregon. The 1933 legislature paved the way when it allowed branching bank ing contingent upon federal permissive legislation. Already the major Portland banks have turned their affiliates into branches and Pendleton, The Dalles and other Oregon communities without banks are making overtures to the Portland institutions to set up shop in these needy towns. . The changeover from group to branch banking is not difficult. The president becomes a manager with similar functions. The capital is merged with that of the parent bank. A depositor and a debtor are owed or owe the entire bank system rather than a link in a chain, the difference being of little practical moment for in the late, unpleasant years a parent bank had to support the liabilities of its child else the entire system crumpled. A principal reason the Portland banks are being im portuned to establish branches is that these need not re qnire extra capital. To that extent growth is made easy for the larger institutions- which have weathered the storm for reestablishment of locally owned banks is now extreme ly difficult. Proportionately less capital is placed behind the depositor's account than if a new, independently capitalized institution were organized in the town served. In time will come local demand for a home-owned bank and some of these will be formed for we surmise that com munities will think rightly or wrongly, that they are being made the tail to Portland's kite. The entire banking situa tion is in flux. One reads that the new banks are to be strictly commercial with only self-liquidating paper accepted for loans. Yet every banker knows that there is not enough of this paper available to make banking profitable. If the rest of the funds are to be invested in bonds who can assure the banker be he branch or independent operator that 1929-1932 will not recur? Bond depreciation fully as much as freezing of local loans brought the downfall of the coun try banker. The remaining outlet for investment is govern ment securities with bankers as a class opposed to further interference of government in business and opposed to in creased public indebtedness. Branch banking is here and will stay, an inevitable de velopment of the group system of banking. It is no cureall for banking ills as the number and size of group banks which have failed clearly indicates. Presumably banking will parallel mercantile developments ; the independent and the chain will both continue, and grow and thrive. Each will learn from and suffer by the experience of the other. "They Saved the Union THE fife and drummers are in town today, a handful of men from yesteryear. They were a proud group which played on the street corners as the encampment began. Some of their grandchildren's children wondered a bit about the meaning of all this and why old men wore blue coats and shiny buttons. Thank heaven there are some persons how soon so many forget who do know why these men are assembled, why the flags are out, why hats come off, why there's a tug in the throat and. moisture in the eyes as this remnant of '61 goes by. These observant souls are of the company "who will never forget what they did here." For it is the high, untarnished honor of the Grand Army of the Republic to have shared in the preservation of the union. It is a larger, stronger union than the one Ed ward Everett Hale so touchingly portrayed in his "Man Without a Country," a more glorious republic than Web ster envisioned in his stirring reply to Hayne. It is vaster federation of commonwealths than moved Abraham Lin coln to stand firm in the doctrine that the United States of America was an indispensible federation from which no ingle state could succeed, no section become independent, except by force. The freedom of the slaves, as historians have said again and again, was incidental ; a motivating cause for the war but not the prime cause just as emancipation was a wartime emergency, not an immediate objective of the con flict. Who can travel the length and breadth of America to- uajr milium, pnue aim maurvsgi vinjj mai mere were sturdy souls in '61, willing to die that a greater nation might be reborn? We fancy the south is quietly pleased today that the union survived. in me classic ureeK memorial erected in Washington, there is chiseled in the Vermont crranite! "Tn this tomnio as in the hearts of the nation for whom he saved the union,' the memory of Abraham Lincoln is enshrined forever." A jmrtion oi tms xriDute is ior eacn -wearer ot the blue for they, too, saved the union. Merrily We Trudge Along THE majority of voters in the 98 districts without high schools in the county have decided the taxpayers for next year are not to furnish bus transportation for boys and girls who want to attend high school. Tuition payment wilt remain mandatory; if the student utilizes it he must walk, ride his pony or use dad's car. It may be the bicycle revival will have a hand in keeping some ambitious youths in school. Insofar as rural education through transportation was paid for by the non-high school districts, the problem was theirs and the rule of the majority is to operate. If it de velops that any sizeable number of rural students are stay ing at home because they cannot avail themselves of free tuition at the nearest school, we predict the transportation &?Wfl ,bfeV5Sed.at a subseKnt election.

Iji " " "J IIS, Dr. Copeland jjukimu xtiti summer monuta food easily spoils and becomes con. laminated with germs. One of the bad food infections is caused by the "clostridiuiB to tal I n u m." the name of a dan reroua germ. It causes a disease called "botul Ism". X am glad to say that this disease Is not aa trequenUy en countered as It was la former times. Botulism was especially com. man when little was known about proper refrigera tion, the sterili zation of food and Its proper canning-, as watt as the preservation of meats, vegetables and other food products. It Is more freqnenUy found In home canning, than in the commercial preparations. Serious outbreaks of botulism hare been traced to imper fect home canning of ripe olives, string beans, asparagus, corn and -apricots. This disease never occurs when food la fresh, clean and served im mediately after cooking-. Many per. sons are misled by the belief that boning destroys all germs and dan gerous spores. This is -only partly true. Food, too, hat has been boiled but allowed to remain exposed. Is easily re -contaminated. Keep Food Iced aael Covered Such infection can be prevented by always keeping clean, fresh food on tee and properly covered. Bear In mind that during- warm weather such roods as milk, vegetables, and meats, readily and quickly spoil if allowed to remain exposed to the air. I advise all housewives to avoid purchasing meat from the butcher who allows his meat to remain on his block Instead of hanging it on a hook in a cold chamber. Do not pur chase any foodstuffs that are not properly protected from files, dust and germs. Modern methods of canning assure the housewife of a safe and staple food during the summer and winter months. The canned product Is scien tifically prepared and free from con taminated germs and bacteria. There Is one danger that I would like to warn against. When yoa open a sealed can, serve the contents immediately. . If you do not Intend using- the entire quantity, empty the balance Into a glass or china dish and place it on the Ice. This will protect against spoiling- and con tamination. Many cases of food poi soning are caused by overlooking this simple precaution. Many housewives prefer home canned products. This Is safe, of course, if adequate measures are taken for proper canning. Only use fresh and clean foods. The Jars and containers must be carefulry sterU ixed before usms;. They must be boiled at a temperature high enough to destroy all germs, and sealed air tight to prevent spoiling-. All this advice Is not needed by the experienced home keeper. She knows exactly how to proceed and the products of her kitchen are safe and delicious. Answer to Health Queries S.
