Sends Cards to Many Friends
' By MRS. T. C. MOUNTAIN
What -are the meditations of one
approaching ' the one J hundredth
milestone? ' One wonders. But to
day, people of Aumsville who
w e r e recipients of Christmas
greetings from i Miss Bauwkje
Stonebrink, in her ninety-seventh
year, living, here with the Donker
family, knowV' With her Christ
mas cards to friends she includ

Among them' were; The 'Christ

Stabilization
Affects Feed
Feed grain supplies and prices
will be sharply affected by three
steps taken y the federal gov
ernment announced as intended
to stabilize prices and bring about
a more normal movement of sup
plies, the state AAA committee
reported this week.
Prices of oats and barley
have been Mfrosenn t the high
est prices prevailing during the -five-day
period. November 29
to ; December S, 1943. In an
nouncing this action, the OPA
said that permanent . price reg
ulations on these feeds would be
issued within SO' days. Market
prices of both grains have been
above or at parity.
The war food administration
announced an increase in the
price of feed wheat of 20 cents a
bushel, which will raise the price
to Oregon feeders to about $43 a
ton; compared with" the previous
$37 price. Orders not yet delivered
may be cancelled, as price at time
of delivery prevails. By way of
explanation, the WFA said:
"Feed wheat for some time has
been priced substantially below
other grains. This change will
help in conserving transportation
since the relatively low prices of
feed wheat made it difficult to
prevent unnecessary hauling of
feed wheat into some areas and
other feed grains out of the same
areas.
"Heretofore feed wheat has
been supplied largely from stocks
acquired by CCC under its loan
programs in earlier years; hence
forth, it will be necessary to meet
the demand for this grain for feed
from purchases made by WFA In
the United States and foreign
countries.
The maximum price of corn
has been raised nine cents a bu
shel to $1.18 at Chicago Ey the
OPA, bringing the ceiling to full
parity. The increase is not uni
form throughout the country, as
adjustments have been made in
some markets that OPA believes
will result in more normal move
ment of corn to all areas.
