Dairying Vital To Business, Chamber Told That dairy products should not be discriminated against in favor of cereal crops and "mechanized farming" in general was the plea Monday of Henry Hagg, leading Washington county dairyman, be fore the Salem Chamber oi com merce. Hagg Indicated that neither the present government farm program nor the proposed Brannan plan offers fair suport to dairy farm ing. He said the cost or govern ment farm programs exceeds one half billion dolalrs for wheat, corn and cotton crops, compared with 54 million dollars for butter and 68 million for eggs. Hagg. president of the Oregon Dairy Breeders and vice president of Dairy Cooperative, said the dairy farm business is not attract ing youths. He urged that busi nessmen "realize your stake in this SPRING VALLEY A dessert luncheon Is planned by the Spring Valley Sunshine club for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Harvey McLaughlin.

Storage Walls, Dividers Now In Unpainted Furniture Pieces By Mrs, Genevieve Smith Among the new ideas now be ing introduced in the great home furnishings markets to which store buyers are flocking by e cabi- iV.'v chests of Iv. ers,and I . rases that I i - Mrs. Smith the thousands, is the adapta- t (o n to un painted f u rni tur nf the idea of multiple stor- f include eai nets, chests draw ' book cases can be placed nn too of each other along a wall. This means that in a few weeks you'll have an opportunity to buy these rela tively 1 n e XDensive individual pieces, paint or finish them to suit the room needs, and add good looks along with practical storage apace. v. , .The units of any one line and -there are a number of reputable manufacturers producing these . co-ordinated units are scaled so that they are all of the same depth, usually 12 to 15 inches. The new development is that sev eral different types, such as a chest of drawers, a cupboard "' cabinet, and a book case, also are being made up in several identical heights : and widths. They can be arranged flush on the floor (no dusting underneath) or set up on legs, which are sold separately. This means that when you go into a store with the dimensions of the available -wall space jet ted down, you ' can select the pieces you need. Perhaps you want to reorganize Junior's rooms. You need to create more space for his clothes now that he's a big boy, also give him room for books and his rock collection, plus a place for the supplies he needs since he has taken up wood carving as a hobby. This might add up to a couple of chests, a book case br two, and a cup board. If there isn't room along the wall, the bookcases can be double decked ... or perhaps the chests can be placed alongside tne cases. '! If it's your own room that is crying for more storage space, Mr. and Mrs. chests may be the answer. . Another need that is cropping up is ror use in the all-in-one- area living and dining rooms to give a sense of coziness to your living room grouping of furni ture. What .the new versatility in types adds up to, is about the least expensive of permanent pieces, yet furniture that you can not only paint in pleasing colors but arrange to make the room look interesting.

Building Trade Unions Are Optimistic on '50 Prospects; Wage Agreements Unaltered By Winston H. Taylor Staff ' Writer, The Statesman - Building trades unions in Oregon are optimistic about 1950 but are all "riding along" on last year's wage agreements, F. D. Van Sweringen, executive secretary of Salem Building Trades council, re ported Monday on his return from a state conference. He led a delegation of 12 from Salem to the semi-annual meeting "it wiu taxe a detinue breax in the weather" to get construction and allied activities on the up swing, according to Van Swerin gen He said he had not heard of a building trades union that had ask ed for higher wages this year than In 1949 and that most did not plan to "open" their agreements as re gards wages but might concerning working conditions or other items. Ho said union leaders from Wash ington state reported a similar situation there. . The Salem-delegation was in strumental In the unanimous adoption by the state council of a resolution calling for . local com mittees to promote safety. The proposal was drafted by the Salem council and the state indus trial accident commission head quarters and calls for committees representing the AFL building trades and the SIAC. The pur pose, said Van Sweringen, is a concerted effort to reduce the ac cident rate in the building trades, among the highest in Oregon's vo cations. Progress is to be reported at the state council's June meeting in La Grande. The session also adopted a reso lution aimed at guaranteeing proper training for apprentices. It provides for committees to be es tablished. The meeting was attended by 105 delegates from 17 local coun cils, considered good representa tion by the local group, which ex perienced great difficulty in over coming weather conditions to reach Pendleton. tUilllN'lUIIHIIIft Actor Demoted By Marine Corps HOLLYWOOD (INS) Ma rines are reputed to be one of the toughest branches of the service, and John Wayne can vouch for that I In his film career, Wayne has played a member of every branch of the armed forces.

State in Need of More Food Processing, Governor Tells Production Credit Association By Lillie L. Madsen Farm Editor, The Statesman (Story also bn page 1) While an enormous amount of Oregon farm products goes into cans and bags and is sold across the nation's food counters each year, much more processing of Oregon's agricultural products could be done. This was the statement of Gov. Douglas McKay as he spoke be fore more than 400 persons at the annual Willamette Production Credit association luncheon Monday at the Marion hotel. Promotion of the sale of Oregon processed farm products should be one of the . big aims of the state, the governor stated.. Their sale could be pushed under Oregon, Instead of California, labels, he added, although he insisted their sale was the principal aim. ' Besides further processing and promotion of sales, the third item named bjr the governor was the proper grading of Oregon farm products. Complete and proper grading in Oregon, he indicated, had been slow in coming. He also urged the further pro cessing of lumber as well as pro motion of the flax industry, which he termed "sick." Speaking briefly was Charles A. Sprague, publisher of the Oregon Statesman.. .Music was provided through Willamette university. Loan volume of the association for the year 1949 amounted to $3,752,000, an all time high, Phil Brandt, secretary-treasurer of the association, reported. This rep resents an increase of $400,000 over last year and more than one million over the 1947 volume, he added. The association finished the yearl with 967 members. Member ownership of stock now stands at T$231,400; accumulated earnings are $167,203, an increase of $35,000. The original government loan to the association in 1934 was $250, 000. This has now been reduced to $50,000 and the board of direct ors said its membership would ask the parent association for permis sion to reduce this another $10,000 this year. Hopes of the directors were to "completely pay off the debt and be all on our own be fore we pay dividends.w This, if tilings went well, might be within the next two or three years, he reports Indicated. Less than two-tenths of one per cent loss has been taken in loans since the beginning of the Willam ette Credit Production association in 1934, Brandt pointed out. Dur ing these 16 years, $20,000,000 has been loaned, he stated. DO NT WORXr . . . Wfcef fcer Junto" feefft come early or lore makes ltfle difference. 1 thing ages vary. . Lack of Insulin Kills Germans AP Newfeture BERLIN Hundreds of diabet ics have died in the Soviet zone of Germany in the past four years for the lack of insulin, according to a prominent German physician. "Many more diabetics -are doom ed to die if the 'insulin supply in east Germany is not soon raised to an adequate standard," declared Dr. Hella Bernhard, director of west Berlin's diabetic center. Regular insulin injections are a matter of life or death for diabet ics, she said. "An average daily dosage of 40 units of insulin is re quired to keep these people alive. Dosages in the Russian zone, how ever, are now between 25 and 30 units a day." According to Dr. Bernhard, well-known authority on diabetes, the western allies have given their Berlin sectors an ample supply of insulin. She said there have been no diabetes deaths in west Berlin caused by shortage of insulin. Her chief worry at present is an allied order forbidding her to give insulin to Germans from eastern Berlin and the Soviet zone. "De spite the order I hardly let anyone of these poor people leave my clinic without at least a small dosage of insulin, which means life or death for them, she said. "Heartbreaking scenes occur in my clinic nearly every day when patients from the Russian zone re fuse to leave without at least some insulin to last them for a few days," she said. There are 8,000 diabetics in all four sectors of Berlin and more than 10,500 in the Soviet zone. All need regular insulin injections. Special Language Planned to Help Auto Mechanics PONTIAC, Mich -(INS)- The car-owning public may soon have a new vocabulary to aid mechan ics in treating hospitalized vehi cles. At present, each driver has his own special word to describe that noise he heard in the engine. But if General Motors' engi neers have their way, drivers will be able to classify car sounds as "clacks, jangles, frys, grates," and dozen others. The engineers educated a fleet of transport truck drivers, in the new vocabulary and discovered mechanics could speedily remedy the fault from a driver's written report and nothing else.
