some : time Tuesday selecting

ranch.
The potatoes were accompanied
by Jars of Gem Everbearing
strawberry preserves and jelly,
made from fruit grown by Ado
phus Hayes. Mrs. Hayes made the
sweets in the home kitchen at the
ranch. The berries carry an al
lure of deep coloring and the zest
of high flavor gained from the
crisp night temperatures uni
brilliant sunshine of the Central
Oregon summer season.

athletics of Oregon State college,
was asked In letters forwarded

and ask them to compare it with
poi and confections made from
exotic fruits of aloha land.

preserves and Jelly went forward
to Corvallls last night by Pacific
Trailways bus. Roscoe Hopper, a
representative potato grower, was
present with a group to superin
tend the forwarding of the prod
ucts. The package carried a
Christmas message from- Crook
county Oregon State alumni to
the Beaver team and expressed
the hope that the flight to Hono
lulu will be pleasant and that the
return home will be highlighted
by a satisfaction gained from a
victory in the New Year game.

Living Costs Take
Drop in November
Washington. Dec. 24 l Low
er food prices forced the cost of
living down eight tenths of one
per cent last month, the labor de
partment reported today.
It was the second consecutive
month in which living costs had
fallen.
Slight declines in prices of
clothing and house furnishings
and a "substantial" slump in food
prices were "primarily respon
sible" for the overall drop in the
cost of living, the department
said.
Only rents, fuel and a few mis
cellaneous items rose in price last
month. They, showed only slight
increases.
As of Nov. 15, the department
said, living costs were 4.4 per cent
above mid-November. 1947, and
29.2 per cent higher than June,
1940, when most price controls
were scrapped.
Food prices alone fell nearly
two per cent between mid-October
and mid-November. It was
the fourth consecutive month of
lower food prices and since food
is the biggesit single item in the
family budget, the drop is enough
to offset slight increases in other
living essentials.
Americans Return Czarist
Silver to Russian Refugees'
Munich nit Russian silver
ware, evacuated from a St. Peters
burg uawnshoo during the Rus
sian revolution, has been turned
over to representatives of the
Russian emigration organization
In the U. S. zone by American
officials.
The silver, packed In 18 sealed
boxes, was the meager remnant of
about 200 boxes filled with silver
Dlates. icons, samovars, teapots
and other ware which had been
stolen from czarist castles in Pe
tersburg by the reds.
Gold and Jewels found in the
St. Petersburg imperial castles
had been shipped to Moscow by
the Soviets, while the silver was
transported to a north Russian
district.
- Taken to Yugoslavia
The White Russian commander,
Gen. Denekin, there recaptured
the sliver and brought the trans
port to Yugoslavia, where part of
the fortune was sold to support
the 5,ooo emigrants who had lied
Russia after the revolution.
Items for which certificates of
ownership could be produced have
been returned to their claimants,
officials said. As late as 1941,
jtill more than 150 boxes were
left, and when the Soviets ap-
proached Yugoslavia, 20 of the
boxes were transported to Ger
many.
Russian emigrant officials here
heard no more of the fate of the
other 130 boxes which were left
behind in Yugoslavia.
Boxes Pillaged
Since the war's end, the silver
ware had been turned over to
American authorities in Munich
for safekeeping after one of the
boxes had been pillaged and an
other disappeared.
Sergei Jourleff, ex-master of
ceremonies at the Russian czarist
court and now chairman of the
Russian emigrants committee in
the U. S. zone, estimated the value
of the remaining 18 boxes of sil-1
ver at about 300,000 marks!
(roughly, $10,000).
The silver is now with Gen. Pe-1
ter W. Glasenap, former Russian
army officer, until the proceeds
of the sale of the valuables can I
be used to support needy Russian
emigrants.
