Marion to Get
First School
Fund Allotment
As its first apportionment from
the "state school support fund"
derived from income and excise
tax surplus, under ; the much
controverted law enacted by the
voters in November, 1942, and
mended by the 1543 legislature,
Marion county will receive $293,
166.25 for distribution to its va
rious school districts and to the
non-high school district. -
Half of this sum; $149,083.12,
was scheduled for Immediate dis
tribution and the remainder is to
be distributed next April 15.
Inasmuch as " Marion county
school districts .special levies and
the non-high school levy in re
cent normal years have amounted
to a little more than $675,000, op
eration of this fund will mean a
saving to their taxpayers of ap
proximately 4$ per cent, less
whatever their levies have been
increased by higher costs includ
ing higher teacher salaries.
Marion county also receives as
f October 15 from the two-mill
elementary school tax fund ac
tually also derived at present
from income tax payments $54,
449.53 which Is half of its total
apportionment of $108,899.06.
Total distribution from the
state school support fund -for the
year is $5,000,000, the amount to
which it was limited by the legis
lature. From the two-mill ele-
mentary school tax the total dis
tribution is $2,041,71950.
Other Willamette valley coun
ties will receive from the school
support fund for the entire year:
Linn $173,703.03. Benton $97,
252.73, Lane $349,939.60. Polk
$98,517.54, Yamhill $133,796.92.
The apportionment is based upon
actual school attendance. .
The same counties receive for
the - year from the elementary
school stallage tax: Linn $70,342,
Benton $30,431.86. Lane $107.
181.28, Polk $33,763.16, Yamhill
$44,835.31.

Klamath Plum
May Be Grown
In East Oregon
"The possibility of introducing
the wild plum of Klamath and
Lake counties into- the higher ele
vations of Umatilla, Wallowa, Un
ion, Baker and other eastern Ore
gon counties where the climate is
too severe for common varieties
is suggested by T. McWhorter,
extension horticulturist at Oregon
State college. ;
This red wild plum is listed
as prunus - subcordata ; in official
books on plums, but up to the pres
ent time it has existed almost
entirely in the wild state with
very limited attempts at growing
it under cultivation. McWhorter,
with A. N. Roberts, instructor In
horticvlture, and C. E., Schuster,
federal, nomologist, made an In
spection tour recently through the
area where these plums occur and
reported that they show some com
mercial promise : for. development
In addition to their value for home
plantings.
An unusual feature of these
plums is that they are freestone
rather than clingstone as are prac
tically all other native wild plums.
They have foliage closely resemb
ling; the- Euronean tme rslum.
irom which most, of the domestic
varieties come, while the fruit is
somewhat oval in shape like apri
cots, v : ' rV . . -; -J. : ; -, v ' : y i .y
They-vary greatly in sire, with
some strains as large as a ' small
Italian prune. Unless completely
tipe they have an ; astringency
which gives preserves and butters
made, from them a distinctive flav
or much sought otter.
Revenues Gain
' Despite all possible handicaps,
dog racing appears to have been
a booming business in the 1943
season.; The state racing commis
sion revenues, most of which come
from this source, were more than
double; those of 1939 and more
than 50 per cent higher than those
of 1942. the apportionment an
nounced Saturday reveals.
'. The 1943 aggregate was $223,
217.58, las compared to $144,522.
92 in 1942 and $103,500.22 in 1939.
according to a tabulation released
by Seoretary of State Robert S.
FarrelL Jr.
; Inasmuch as the state collects
3 per cent of the total amount wa
gered, it appears that well over
$7,000,000 went through the pari
mutuel windows in the past year as
compared to about $4,700,000 the
previous year.
Of the amount apportioned, one
sixth or $29,417.58 went to the
state's general fund. The appor
tionment to each county was
$3127.70 as against $1197.22 in 1942
and $738.27 in 1939, the first year
the state's hacing commission law
was in operation.
I The apportionment follows:
! County fairs $112,600.08, East
ern Oregon Livestock show $5000,
Northwest Turkey show $1200,
Pendleton Roundup $5000, Pacif

lies' largest aerial blow ever de
livered in the southwest Pacific,
caught the Japanese base of Ra

Tuesday that the lead planes were

The result was that while de
stroying or damaging 117 planes

We Support The
United War Chest.
It 's Good Business
To Do So.
" ' i
:
Of course we have our sentimental side, and we are prompted to a large
- extent by purely: altruistic motives, however, there is another very compelling
reason for supporting tlie Salem Unitedar Ghest . . . it is good business
to do so " . ' -
v''- -Wi'. 'V'''-'' 'i."-,z y. 'z- yyi-.. v .iio-V"-"''5 ';--:-;i"-'-''r"'vi V-V5'."''. y'yy:"--y : ' " ''? -; -
In the first place, the United War Chest idea enables us to make our con
" tribution to charity in a businesslike - manner, " impossible under the old
method of promiscuous donations. We know that the causes supported have
been reviewed by a responsible committee of citizens. : "
' : SecohdlyWe are assured that our contribution is administered in a bus
inesslike manner and that our money docs not wind up in the tin cups of
racketeers.. 1 " ;
Our third consideration is one of safety, which we believe would be Jeo
pardized in a conimunitywhere the poor and needy were forced to shift for
themselves, and children were left to roam the streets for lack of proper rec-
reation. . l . . , . .
Fourth! Because we know it is good bus
iness to win the war, we like the United War
Chest because it supports 'the many organiza
tions looking after the morale of the boys who
are doing our fighting for us . and if you
don't think winning the war is good business,
then you are practically out of business.
