.THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Page Ten. Willamette Road To Be Fixed The old road on the north bank of the Willamette river above Lowell will be Improved to a con' slderable extent this spring, ac cording to P. M. Morse, county engineer. The county court has re. ceived a petition, largely signed, asking that the entire road be graveled. The Improvements asked for may not be granted entirely but the road is expected to be greatly improved. The county's bulldozer has been taken from Lorane to a slide on the Sweets creek road on the opposite side of the Siuslaw river from Mapleton to clear a landslide that has blocked the roadway. H. M, Peterson's bulldozer has been rent ed to clear the North Fork road of the big slide that has blocked traffic for several days. The county engineer said Mon day that the recent heavy rains and high water have not greatly damag ed the roads further than the damage done by slides, but general repair work will have to start soon where minor washouts have occurred.

Published Every Monday By The ELECTRIC CLEANERS '210 Willamette Phone 300 Mr. McCornack Is Kiwanis Speaker Some of the factors back of the growth of the Eugene Fruit Growers association within the past 30 years to become one of the largest concerns of its kind in the northwest, about the larg est vegetable packing plant in this section, and the largest green bean packing concern In the world, were told by E. A. ft!c Cornack, secretary-manager of the company, in a talk for the Ki wanis club, Monday noon. The association during the past three years has increased its pack from 529,000 cases to 1,200,000 cases in 1937, he told the club. The country, its climate and soil; the fine people; something good from the "adversity" of high freight rates over 3000 miles to markets in that quality has become obligatory; the ability to maintain standardized production in quantity; and the fact the plant was "born right" were listed as causes contributing to the suc cess of the association. In ex planation of some of these points, Mr. McCornack pointed out that with such distances to ship pro ducts, the finest quality is ab solutely necessary in order to sell those products In competi tion with those produced in cen ters closer to the markets. The foresight and sound business principles of the founder of the association have been outstand ing factors in the company's growth, Mr. McCornack pointed out, mentioning the fact that three of the original founders are still officers of the associa tion after 30 years service, Mahlon H. Harlow, F. B. Chase and J. Beebe. Such an Industry Is filled with economic triumphs and economic tragedies, too, the speaker com mented; going on to explain how unforeseen conditions in economic problems and marketing problems loom suddenly to create quick readjustments, as do changes in social and living conditions. As il lustration, he mentioned the dried fruit industry's collapse, largely because of changes in Dunn P.-Tf A. Gives Benefit Dinner and Program The benefit dinner and pro gram of the Dunn P.-T. A. was held recently at the schoolhouse. Dick Neely and Bobbie Black gave an impersonation of two boys at a movie; Joyce Coffey, accompanied by Edith Paris, danced an Irish jig; Mrs. W. E. Coffey gave sev eral readings; Sam Seely and Richard Busey, accompanied by Eleanor Seely, tap-danced; and Mrs. Walter Bealrsto, accompanied by Miss Dorothy Davis, sang. Injunction Sought By Oil Companies (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) M'Quin Fined for. Drunken Driving Feral McQuin of Eugene was fined $150 and sentenced to the county jail for 30 days by Jus tice of the Peace John Bryson Monday on a charge of driving a car while intoxicated. The jail sentence was suspended and his driver's license was automatically suspended tor a year. H. K. McKee, arrested Friday night at a local dance hall on a charge of disorderly conduct, was fined $50 and Lawrence Spores and G. E. Pickelsimer, charged with the same offense at the same dance hall, will come up later. habits and living conditions. It used to be the homemaker would' put on a pot of dried prunes in the afternoon for the next day's breakfast. Gas and electric meters, however, have brought about a situation where the home maker calls up the grocer and orders fruit juice that can be served quickly without long period of preparation. The great problem back of such an industry as the local plant is to see to it that the goods are sold at . prices which will re turn an adequate living for the growers, Mr. McCornack, con cluded. Rex C. Stinchcomb was wel comed as a new member. There will be no luncheon next Monday noon, a ladies' night dinner to be given instead for the Kiwanis anniversary. in which they would have to give change in silver or nickel. There were indications that the oil workers themselves might face curtailed wages, instead of the in creased pay they had fought for, because of a government an nouncement that it might be nec essary to reduce production due to difficulty in marketing oil prod ucts abroad. Ambassador Daniels, at a press conference, indicated the com panies must resort to Mexican law at least as the first step in their fight to regain their rich proper ties. He said he had heard of no proposal for international arbitra tion. Daniels emphasized his re gret at the seizure order.
