ASfeve' ond AaNcy Chmspms StonyK (By Wets Sullivan ' THE STORY SO FAB: Steve and Nancy are at the North Pole ready to build a toy-making machine with Santa Clans. Chapter 7 OTEVE and Nancy . and Santa i3 Claus went through the tun sel that led to the biggest work shop. Two years before, when they had paid Santa a visit,; a circus had been in that workshop, helping Santa to build toys. But Santa said this year the circus was spending the winter in Florida, where it was warm, and now the elves were making all the toys. Piled in the middle of the work shop floor was an immense mound of stuff with the roller- coaster slicking up highest of all. And standing all around the room were elves with screwdrivers, hammers and pairs of pliers in their hands. Before starting to work, Steve and Nancy said hello" to all the elves. They even remembered some of their names. "All right, we've got a lot of work to do," Santa said, clapping his hands. "Here Fidget, you grab hold of this piece of lumber here, and Scratch, you take the other end. Now you two over there lay down your boards and start nail lng the floor together. Wnile they are doing that, Teasle and Thump can start hauling -some ' of the heavy machinery over here so we will have it ready. It certainly was easy to see why Santa was boss at the North Pole and it was easy to see, too, how the elves got so much work done, for the machine started going to gether so fast it seemed like magic. Huge Machine Before long the elves were test ing out some of the wheels to see if they were ready to run. The machine was of tremendous size. Steve and Nancy, who were busy nailing the floorboards at the bottom, were afraid that he elves working way at the top of the machine would fall and hurt themselves. Pausing from their work for a moment, Steve and Nancy stepped back to look at the machine. It was going to be the most magni ficent thing they had ever seen, they could tell that even now. There were chutes for the toys to come tumbling out of and belts for them to ride along on and big things that stuck was up in the air like arms and wheels all over the place with chains running be tween them. The children were so amazed watching the machine being put together that they forgot to work. The most interesting part of the whole thing was Santa Claus who was busy pulling on a wrench with one hand and pointing with the other, and shouting out orders all the while. "Pass three of those thing-a-ma-jigs up here and fasten them on the end . of this lever. Make them swing free and easy now. And Tumbletoes, run that what's- it through the center of that hole and don't let it touch the sides. It has to have room to move back and forth. Now, I want those what-jama-call-its to bounce up and down on their springs. If they don't go up high enough to touch that other gadget, put bigger springs under them. Where is that rattle? I hear a rattle someplace. Coffee cup, see if you can find that rattle." -Job Nearly Complete Before too long, Steve and Nancy could see that the elves were nearing the end of their job. They stopped hoisting new parts to the top of the machine, and the elves at the bottom were busy with oil cans, oiling all the wheels and pulleys and bearings. A fast- drying blue paint had been ap plied to the floor and the toy- making machine looked both be autiful and powerful. Nancy decided to measure it. It was 37 steps from end of It to the other, and 27 steps across it, and It was higher than her two story house in Salem. Nancy was so pleased that she went over to hug old Tinker, Santa's favorite helper, and tell him how glad she was. But when she put her arms around him she heard him sigh, and she noticed a teardrop in his eye. "Why, what's the matter, Tink er," Nancy said. "Isn't it wonder ful that the machine is finished?'' Elves All Unhappy "Yes, it is," Tinker said, starr ing to cry. "Oh, I can't fool you, Miss Nancy. I would like to be happy about this new machine, but I just can't. I've been making toys here for so many years, that I just cry every tjme I think about a toy-making machine taking my place. All the rest of the elves are unhappy too, but they can't bear to tell Santa Claus because he likes the toy-making machine so." Before Nancy and Tinker had a chance to talk any more, they heard Santa calling, "It's all ready. Everybody stand back. I'm going to pull the switch that starts the toy-making machine. Steve, you plug in the motor." "All right,' 'said Steve. "Where do I plug it in?" "Where?" said Santa, "What do you mean where?" Then there was a long silence. Finally Santa gulped and said, "Oh, my good' ness. I forgot that we don't have anywheres near enough electricity in our little power plant up here at the North Pole to run a big thing like this. Where on earth will we get enough electricity to run the toy-making machine?" TOMORROW: The polar bears again. Turkey Raisers Urged to Plan For Next Year By LXLLEE L. MADSEN Farm Editor, The Statesman With the bulk of the 1952 turkey crop now sent to market, it is a good time fpr growers to examine tneir years operation and plan for the next season's production, E. L. Harriman, editor of the Ore gon Egg Producers monthly or gan, reports. The number of turkeys raised in Oregon in 1952 totaled an estim ated 2,134,000 birds or four per cent less than the 1952 production of 2,223,000 turkeys. This reduc tion in turkey numbers is primar ily a reaction to high production costs and low turkey prices, Bar riman continues. The fact that production will be reduced still further next year Indicates that the cost-price situation has not improved and may have even be come worse. The great bulk of Oregon pro duction must be marketed in other areas of the country in competi tion with the turkeys raised in other exporting areas. High pro duction costs combined with the cost of transporting the birds over long distances to market, puts uregon producers in a most un favorable position. Harriman be lieves. Turkey production reached a peak level in Oregon in 1945, when 3,105,00 birds were raised. Pro duction then declined to a low of 1,508,000 birds in 1948. While the production increased in each of the three following years, the rate of increase did not equal the up ward trend nationally. This fact, combined with the 4 per cent de cline in 1952 turkey production as compared to a 13 per cent Increase in national production, in the opinion of Harriman, would ap pear to indicate that the turkey industry In Oregon is in a process of stabilization. The turkey grower who contem plates remaining in the business of raising turkeys should give care ful thought to the efficiency of his operations. The level at which production in Oregon will be sta bilized will be determined by the number of turkeys that could be raised in competition with other major turkey producing areas, Harriman points out. Such compe tition always has the result of forcing the high cost, inefficient growers from the competition pic ture. According to a cost-production study by Oregon State College, feed accounts for 68 per cent of the total cost per bird, sst of poults is figured at 14 per cent with labor cost at 9 per cent, as were also the combined costs of buildings, equipment and miscel laneous expenses.

John Edward Flowers died in an operating room while a team of surgeons clustered around prepar ing for the enormously complex separation operation. That was 9 hours after his brain- to-brain twin. John L.. died in a Greenwood, Miss, hospital Satur day morning. Cause of death was unknown. When John L. suddenly perished early Saturday, Greenwood phy sicians knew only drastic surgery similar to that undergone re cently by Chicago s Brodie twins could save John Edward. The twins, one with eyes closed in death, the other crying lustily, were placed in the back seat of a highway patrol car. Two nurses accompanied -them on the 145-mile race to Memphis. It was the first time the Flowers twins had left the Greenwood-Leflore Hospital, where they were born to Maybelle Flowers, a Ne gress, by Cesarean operation, ear ly last August. The parents. Roosevelt and May belle Flowers, live in Kilmichael, about 40 miles from Greenwood 100th Bombing Trip Means Ticket Home WITH L fi. FIFTH AIR FORCE, Korea OR The crowd around the shack included ground crew- men. mechanics, administrative workers and pilots. "Here they come," a six-stripe sergeant said, finger pointing sky ward. Three Thunder jets whipped across the landing strip, the scream of their jets trailing like a note of remembered music. Three pilots elbowed their way to the 58th fighter-bomber wing shack, amid an outburst of con gratulations and back-slapping at having completed their 100th mis sions. That s a ticket home. "This was an easy mission," said Lt. G. M. Rowan, Seattle. "The group leader took us right in and we got full coverage of the target." "We went In Just soutn or won- san, said L.I. cnaries . jriaaings III of Vida, Ore., "There was no flak and the target was easy to find." Giddings said he would like to stay in Korea. "I've got 100 mis sions in F-S4s, and I'd like to fly Sabre jets for a while." Lt. P. S. Cleland Jr., Rabway, N. J., wearing a cap bearing his nickname 'Red Rpg' said, "We hit that supply area with all our bombs. Nothing fell outside the target area. After I dropped my bombs, all I could think about was the ride home. The trip back seemed lots shorter than the one gomg north. Like Giddings, Celand would like tour in F-86s.

No separation attempt had been planned for the twins before John L.'s death. Dr. Fred M. Sandifer of Greenwood said they were con sidered too young. The twins were joined extensive ly at the top of the head. When lying on their backs, John Ed ward's face was to the right. John L.'s to the left. John Edward clung tenaciously to life as the patrol car sped to Memphis. He appeared strong and lusty when taken to the hospital's oper ating -room. He weakened, for no apparent reason, shortly after and died despite attempts to keep his heart beating. Dr. Richard L. DeSaussure, a brain specialist, said apparently the twins had separate brains, but little if anything else was known. An autopsy was riot ordered. U.S. Striving For Iran Oil Settlement Br J. M. ROBERTS, JR. AP News Analyst The United States is , going ahead, despite British pessimism, with efforts to effect some sort of settlement of the Iranian oil prob lem. Britain is standing on her right to compensation under Iran's na tionalization edict and refuses to permit sale of stored oil until it is agreed upon. Iran has never agreed on a basis of settlement but wants to go ahead and sell the oil anyway. Both Britain and the United States agree that compensation is essen tial, as affecting the whole set-up of Western oil leases in the Middle East. During the recent discussions of the subject by Secretaries Eden and Acheson the State Department sent over by Paul Nitze, one of its top planners, a suggestion for sale of the oil through an international pool of oil companies, thus giving the Iranian government some mon ey and at the same time avoiding turning the handling back to the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. This business of doing whatever is done without seeming to restore any sort of British control la the great problem. Iran is determined to keep the British out And that sentiment comes close to extending to all Western interests. Dr. Karim Sanjabi, distinguished lawyer who handled the Iranian case when lt was before the World Court at The Hague, recently made a rather startling speech in Par liament saying the Moslem world was preparing to resist a new Western "crusade" of subjugation. Such thinking colors every move that the Mossadegh government can make. Despite reports that Acheson and Eden themselves had not been able to agree on next steps, the U. S. is expected to present in Tehran soon its new proposals for getting around the enmity toward Anglo Iranian by putting the company in the role of customer, not manager.

They are just as anxious as the Americans to preserve stability in Iran, lest the country be opened toj a Communist coup. And both are equally anxious that no compromise shall prove to be an opening for more rows of the same kind in the other oil lands. Textbook 'Poison' Extraction Sought PARIS (JP) - A committee of French and German professors has agreed to try to extract the poison fangs out of the school his tory taught to students of the two countries. The aim is to teach un derstanding "between the two na tions, not bitterness. An outline of the plan was given in an article written by Edouard Bruley, president of the French Society of professors of history and geography. Already, he points out, French school texts have cut out stories of German "frightfulness" in Belgium and France during World War I. "The day when a climate of mu tual understanding between the two countries is created." Prof. Bruley states, "the reasons for dis cord in Europe should disappear."
