nd Weat Salem arc, for all prac
tical purposes, already on com
munity in explaining the advant
age of a merger between the two
cities at a Junior ChamLer of
Commerce luncheon In the Marioo
hoetl Tuesday noon.
Musgrave backed his opinion by
citing that West Salem is depen
dent on Salem now for hospitals,
theatres and fire protection.
"West Salem does not even ap
pear on most maps," Musgrave
Mid, noting that the post office
does not recognize the distinction
between Salem and West Salem.
The mayor, who has been a re

years, said the principle opposition
to the merger came from "old
timers" in West Salem and paid
Wtt Salem city employes. He
pointed to members of the Junior
Chamber of Commerce as young
men who were backing the merger
movement.
Musgrave also pointed out that
the tax rat of Salem and Wast
Salem is virtually equal.

Sen. Chase to
Head Farm
Labor Council
Tha i new state agricultural ad
visory council Tuesday elected
State Sen. Truman Chase of Eu
gene chairman and began atudy of
Oregon farm labor needs which
now are to be cared for through
more than 80 state employment
service offices.
Predictions of pesk seasonal
farm worker demands of some 65,
000 over Oregon were accompan
ied by assurances from employ
ment service representatives that
farm labor placement would be
carried out by 32 full-time, 30
itinerant and 20 to 30 seasonal of
fices in areas requiring mifrant
and domestic farm laborers.
Earl R. Lovell, director of the
state employment service, was el
ected secretary of the council.
Estimates of workers needed
from th opening of the sugar beet
thinning and lettuce harvest in
the Ontario district in early May
until : the last apples,' nuts and
peara have been gathered in late
November were placed before the
council by Joe Wilson, farm place
ment director.
Th establishment of separata
offices for farm labor, even in
communities with full-time em
ployment offices, to meet peak
needs, came in for considerable
discussion but not recommenda
tion wss made, pending further
investigation. Criticism was voi
ced by some members of the coun
cil that farm labor could not be
supplied adequately in some offi
ces where heavy industrial place
ments are mdae.
To solve this problem and other
local emergencies It was urged
that; local advisory committees be
organized.
Farm labor camps and housing
are still required in Oregon, but
financing must be left to the grow
ers. Chairman Chase declared.
Other members of the advisory
council attending the meeting were
H. H. Chindgren, Molalla; J. J.
Fisher, Gresham; H. G. Hohwies
ner. Portland; D. F. Kennedy, In
dependence; R. K. Norris, Med
f ord ; Henry Simon, Klamath Falls,
and E. C. Kiegler, Hood River. Th
next meeting will be held la
March.

Idaho Oregon
Agree on Milk
Label Rulings
Several proposals for more uni
form handling of milk in the Oregon-Idaho
border territory were
agreed to at a recent conference
of state department of agriculture
officials and public health offi
cials of the two states, O. K.
Beals, chief of the Oregon divi
sion of foods and dairies, reported
on his return here Saturday.
The group decided that milk
produced and bottled in Idaho
may be distributed in Oregon pro
viding it is labeled Grade A.
While Idaho producers selling in
Oregon will not need an Oregon
license, Idaho distributors must
have an Oregon Grade A pas
teurization plant license to dis
tribute milk in this state.
In cases where Idaho milk pro
ducers ship directly to Oregon
distributors such producers will
be licensed and inspected by Ore
gon. The officials agreed to Joint
border inspection and also dis
cussed desirable means of coordi
nating the grading of factory milk
as it concerns the states of Ore
