County 4-H Leadets, Friends

By Marguerite Gleesoa

The highest test of teaching ability is to cultivate in the young
people a desire and ability to do
do them. Dr. Lawrence Riggs. Willamette university faculty, mem-
ber, told Marion county 4-H club leaders and friends of club work
at a "get acquainted banquet" in Salem Wednesday night.
A world view is a "must" for today. Dr. Riggs said in the course

Million Sacks of
Spuds Likely to
Be Under US Loan
About one million 100-pound
sacks of Oregon's 1940 late potato
crop probably will be placed un
der commodity loan to obtain 90
per cent of parity government
price support protection, the state
Production and Market associa
tion office has estimated on the
basis of late-November applica
tions. Up to the last wek in Novem
ber, producers had applied to
county AAA committees for loans
on 700,000 hundredweight of po
tatoes. The potato loan program
closes on December 14, and if the
late loan volume is similar to that
of a year ago, then the PMA of
fice believes that the million mark
will be reached.
The December support price for
U. S. No. 1 potatoes, sacked and
loaded f.o.b. cars, is $2.30 a hun
dred in all Oregon counties ex
cept Malhuer, Union, Baker and
Wallowa, where it is 20 cents
less. The support price for U. S
No. 2 grade and U. S. No. 1 size
B is half of the No. 1 rate.
Europe Surprised

LONDON. Jan. 8-OP)-Surprise
tinged with regret was the im

today to the resignation of Secre
tary of State James F. Byrnes,
but the appointment of Gen.
George C. Marshall as his suc
cessor generally was received
with approval.
Newspapers gave smash play
to the story, and Marshall's desig
nation was endorsed unqualified
ly by a British foreign office
spokesman.
Moscow was silent, but a Soviet
controlled newspaper in Berlin
said that Marshall would work

$6 Million Fire
Razes Piers in
New Jersey
(Picture on page 1.)
WEEHAWKEN, N. J.. Jan. 8
(AV A $6,000,000 waterfront tire
raged through two piers of the
sprawling New York Central
railroad yards today, lighting .up
the Hudson river area and cast
ing the ruddy glow of an artifi
cial dawn over much of midtown
Manhattan.
One freight-laden export pier
was burned to water level and
another badly damaged. The
blaze lasted for more than five
hours before being brought un
der control by a fleet of three
New York City fireboats and 20
railroad tugboats, aided by fire
men from four New Jersey mu
nicipalities. Eleven firemen and
five railroad employes were in
jured, none seriously.
Persistent flames still flickered
In the ravaged piers more than
12 hours later and cargo flared
sporadically, producing glare and
smoke clearly visible in Manhat
tan across the Hudson river.
Fire officials said they expect
ed to battle burning creosoted
pilings for many more hours.
Heat from the blaze, fanned
by a brisk wind, was so intense
that firemen were unable for
time to get between the piers
to fight the flames.

fBaby Bikini'
SPOKANE, Jan. 8.-(P-Metal-lic
sodium, that substance famil
iar to school laboratories for its
property of going wild when plac
ed in water, will sizzle and fume
on a grand scale Friday when the
war assets administration under
takes to destroy 20,000 pounds of
it.
The Spokane regional office said
it would stage its "baby Bikini"
in the salty waters of Lake Le
nore in the Grand Coulee coun
try of central Washington.
Big drums of the stuff will be
rolled into the lake from a 100
foot cliff and blasted open by
dynamite to surrender the sodium
to the destroying action of the
water.
The WAA will bar the public
from the event because of what
it-described as a "slight possibil
ity of fire or explosion." Press
representatives will be permitted
to witness and photograph the re
sults. The WAA said that while the
sodium could have been used by
industrialists in the east, it is
necessary to destroy it because of
is too dangerous to be transport
ed by common carrier.
