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.

MEMPHIS 0P A wide-eyed,
terrified infant , Siamese twin,
joined head-to-head with his dead
brother, died here Saturday before
brain surgeons could try to save
his life.
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.

They did not accompany the twins
to Memphis.
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.

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."
