Tabulation of Production Goals
By Farmers Shows Defense Aims
DALLAS Swinging into line behind America's total de
fense effort, Polk county farmers have pledged their share of
the increased production of milk, eggs, pork, beef and other
foods needed for 1942, R .D. Pence, chairman of the Polk county
USDA agricultural defense board,
announced.
Tabulation of individual farm
plans for 1942 that were signed
by 1030 farmers and ranchers of
this county during an intensive
four-week farm sign-up campaign
revealed that nearly all of the
production goals set for this coun
ty will be equalled or exceeded,
the chairman disclosed.
Indicative of the the manner in
which county farmers are adjust
ing their production to conform
with- production goals established
for this county is as follows:
Milk production. 1941, 34,534,
, 733, 1942, 38,127,062; cows milked,
1941, 5979, 1942, 6903; brood sows,
1941, "SO, 1942, 1197; hogs mar
keted and slaughtered, 1941, 8342,
1942, 12,000; eggs, 1941, 544,454,
1942.. 691,400.
'This Is the first time that fig
ures have ever been assembled on
county argicultural production for
coming year." Pence pointed
out. The county reports have been
forwarded to the state defense
board, where they will be added
into state totals and sent to the
secretary of agriculture.
"The national totals will give
the secretary a complete picture
Of the nation's 1942 food supply,'
the chairman said. "He will be
able to determine in advance how
much food we will be able to
send to Britain and how much we
can set aside for reserves, after
supplying the greatly expanded
needs of. our own people, of
course."
Recognizing that farming in a
war emergency presents its prob
lems, the county defense board is
proceeding with plans for assit
ing fanners with such difficulties
as machinery shortages, labor
scarcities and priorities. Cam
paigns underway now include ma
chinery repair and farm scrap iron
collection drives.

Catholics to
Delay Masses
Due Blackout
PORTLAND", Dec. ll-(yP)-Con-forming
to blackout regulations,
Archbishop Edward D. Howard of
the archdiocese of Portland in
Oregon Thursday ordered changes
in the time all Catholic churches
conduct masses.
No masses will be held by Port
land priests before 8 a.m., either
daily or Sunday. The time on
which Sunday masses may be
held was extended to 12:15 p.m.,
providing they are high masses;
that diocesan "church music reg
ulations" be adhered to, and that
a sermon be preached.
Parishes outside Portland were
advised to adhere strictly to local
regulations.
Chapels in residences and re
ligious communities were exempt
ed "provided arrangements be
made that will prevent any light
being seen from the outside of the
building."
UAL to Keep
Ships Moving
United Air Lines will maintain
approximately normal flight
schedules during the war emer
gency to meet the nation's need
for rapid transportation, Station
Manager Oliver Judd announced
Thursday.
All scheduled eastbound trips
from the Pacific northwest are
being flown. Normal operations
are being maintained on the Pa
cific coast route with the excep
tion of the overnight California
flights which have been suspend
ed when military authorities or
dered radio ranges silenced along
witn commercial radio stations.
Extra day flights are being made
in lieu of the night runs.
"No flights will be made unless
conditions are up to United Air
Lines' operating standards," Judd
said.
Knopf Asks
Fair Play
For Nisei
An appeal against "misguided
zeal" in connection with Japanese
persons, made by Pres. Carl S.
Knopf of Willamette university,
will appear this morning in the
Willamette Collegian, student
newspaper.
In part, Dr; Knopf's statement
reads:
"Willamette university with its
fine traditions of Christian ideals
can contribute in a very practical
way to Americanism in this time
of hysteria. People of Japanese
parentage can easily Jecome vic
tims of misguided zeal.
"Willamette students of Japan
ese parentage should not be re
strained from receiving their ed
ucation. . . Nothing would be as
unAmerican as to deny fellow
American citizens the rights and
privileges which citizenship en
tails. To make daily life of a
nisei (second generation Japan
ese) dangerous or miserable
solves no problem and can be
cruelly unjust to some of the most
loyal supporters. These Nisei are
true Americans, loyal, intelligent,
fine. Let us keep the torch of
freedom and human brotherhood
burning."

On Food Goals
CORVALLIS, Dec. U-(JP)-Claude
F. Wickard, agriculture
secretary, telegraphed the Oregon
agricultural defense board Thurs
day that a survey of national food
production goals for next year
was underway.
"As America enters a state of
war we are well supplied with
reserves of food, feed and fiber,"
he said.
He urged all public agricul
tural agencies to give every as
sistance to the 6,500,000 farm
families who must continue pro
duction of necessary foods in
quantities needed.
Wickard also urged redoubling
of efforts in the farm machinery
repair program to insure adequate
mechanical equipment to handle
next year's crops.

MacDowell Club Bucks 'Dark'
To Present Fall Music Concert
-
By MAXINE BUREN
Although competition of war and blackouts was strong,
members of the Salem MacDowell club presented the fall concert
at the Salem high school aduitorium Thursday- night, before s
very small, but appreciative group of listeners.
The program, beginning with 'To Music" by Schubert, with
William Bush, baritone, as soloist,
continued with "Behold, the Gold
en Sun Up-soaring by Mozart,
and "No, There is no Bearing
with These Spiteful Neighbors,"
by Brahms, were all well suited
to the group of women's voices.
The second group included Bur
leigh's "De Gospel Train" and
"Grizzly, Grumpy Granny" a Bel
gian folksong, both arranged by
Deems Taylor.
Gail Ferguson, a contralto new
to Salem, was enthusiastically re
ceived in her group which in
cluded "Ombrai Mai Fu" from.
"Xerxes" by Handel, "Visions" by
Sjoberg, and "At the Well," by
Hageman. Miss Ferguson has had
considerable training, which
shows in the control of her voice,
and her excellent volume, both
necessary to a soloist appearing in
last night's large, partially empty
auditorium.
The sextette, composed of June
Lockwood, Margaret Thompson,
Lois Steinke, Marion Bretz,
Gretchen Reinhart and Gail Fer
guson, sang a group of three num
bers "Come Unto Me" by Tchai
kowski, "Peter Piper" by Bridge
and "I Heard a Forest Praying"
by DeRose. Being no respector of
vocalists, the nearby train blew a
loud and long blast, fortunately
just as the soloists sang liltingly
of Peter's pickles.
The encore by this group was
perhaps their best, "Put on Your
Old Gray Bonnet.
The club's final group was "Oh
Lovely Nighf by Abt, "The Old
Family Clock," Grant - Schaefer
and "America" by Bloch, the lat
ter repeated as an encore.
Bernard Barron is the very able
conductor for the chorus, Jean

There is no reason for Oregon
citizens purchasing excess quan
titles of food, because of present
war conditions, Governor Charles
A. Sprague declared in a state
ment issued here Thursday.
"It has come to my attention
that some of our -citizens have
started to purchase excess quan
tities of food, evidently in the
belief that we may face shortages
now or at some time in the fu
ture," Governor Sprague's state
ment read.
"There b absolately no rea
son for such a coarse sf action.
Our country has the greatest
food supply and the greatest
production In Its history. The
government will see that this
production Is maintained, or
even increased if necessary.
