County Sheriff
Investigating
Bad Checks
Marion County Sheriff Denver
Young is investigating a series of
had check passing which has oc
curred in this and neighboring
counties during the holiday sea
son, he reported Wednesday.
Young said merchants should
be watchful for the name Walter
E. Glover which has appeared on
several worthless checks. Two
checks made payable to Glover
and signed with the forged names
of Iris White and Harold White
were passed December 20 at two
Salem banks.
The checks were for $78 and
$80. Mr. and Mrs. White, whose
names were forged on them, are
farmers in the Stayton bean area.
Another worthless check made
payable to Glover turned up re
cently at s Salem department
store, city police reported.
Two bad checks made payable
to Albert W. Mahan were passed
at separate stores in Stayton by
two women Monday, Sheriff
Young reported. One check was
signed with the name W. N. Fin
ley and the other by R. L. Bailey.
These names, Young said, are
probably fictitious.
Other checks made payable to
Mahan were cashed recently in
Polk and Benton counties, the
sheriff revealed.
Speaker Tells
Significance of
Tittle Things'
The way you live makes a dif
ference," Dr. Ray C. McCall, head
of the University of Oregon speech
department, told members of
Salem Rotary club and their
guests Wednesday at the Marion
hotel.
"Life is something made out of
the circumstances at hand, and it
is our responsibility to rise above
the average by ourselves."
"The smallest event may be of
the greatest significance in shap
ing the life of ourselves or those
around us," the speaker said, not
ing that the successful athletic
manager who was interested in
aviation by Eddie Rickenbacker
became the navy pilot who flew
the plane which rescued Ricken
backer years later.
Other examples of "small
things" which had great effect on
later events as cited by the speak
er included that of the radio op
erator on the SS California who
had put aside his headset a short
time before the Titanic's radio
call for help was sent out, there
by missing the chance to save 1917
lives.
Another example was that ; of
the guard in President Lincoln's
box at Ford theatre who left his
post for s better view of the stage
and whose place was taken by
John Wilkes Booth who shot the
president.
The meeting was the annual
"son and daughter" meeting of the
club and was marked by a large
attendance of young folk. Kenneth
Allen of Newberg, one of the
guests, sang two solos accomp
anied at the piano by Ruth Bed
ford, club pianist.
Farm Prices
Lowest Since
February 1947
WASHINGTON, Dec.
Farm prices in mid-December
averaged the lowest since Febru
ary, 1947, the agriculture depart
ment reported today.
The department's all-commodity
index dropped three points from
November to December. The de
cline resulted largely from lower
prices for eggs, meat animals, cot
ton, and cotton seed. The decline
more than offset price increases
for oranges, rice, turkeys and
truck crops.
The Index now stands at 268 per
cent of the August 1909-July 1914
base period. This is 13 per cent or
39 points below the record high
of 307, reached in January, 1948.
The parity index, representing
prices paid by farmers, including
interest and taxes, remained un
changed at 247 per cent of its
1910-14 average. This is only 1.6
?er cent below the high reached in
anuary 1948. Declines in rural
living costs, mainly lower food
prices, offset increased prices for
feed.
The parity ratio dropped one
point to 109. This compares prices
received by farmers for things they
sell to prices they pay for things
they buy.
The ratio ended tho year IS
points below the 122 reported in
January and 24 points below the
record high of 133 in October,
1948.
The average prices received by
farmers and parity prices, res
pectively, for major commodities
on December IS included:
Wheat, per bushel, $2X5 and
$2.18; rye, per bushel, $1.47 snd
$1.78. '
Corn, per bushel, . $1.23 snd
$1.59; oats, per bushel, 70.5 and
