Potato Quotas
Being Reduced
Prineville, Feb. 18 The mem
bers of the production and credit
administration of Crook county,
as are those of Deschutes and Jef
ferson counties, are now seeking
to apply the qualities of a Solo
mon in assigning 1950 quotas to
individual growers of potatoes.
The potato surplus problem,
which, because of the dumping of
millions of bushels of tubers
which have been purchased by the
government under the price sup
port program, and which because
of importation of Canadian pota
toes in the face of the national
wastage of the farm product has
focused public attention to the
situation, is one that is now creat
ing a major topic of conversation
in potato growing circles of cen
tral Oregon.
Generally county allotments for
1950 planting of potatoes have
been cut in all central Oregon
counties. Whereas Crook county
growers wore allotted 3700 acres
last year, this year the allotment
has been cut to 3500 acres. From
this must be subtracted 65 acres
set aside for new farmers and.
100 acres to be used in making
adjustments. The county PMA
committee is engaged in seeking
how to adjust the cut and make
an equitable distribution of cuts.
A similar situation exists in
both Jefferson and Deschutes
counties. In Jefferson county,
where the allotment was 1900
acres last year and where it has
been placed at approximately the
same figure this year, there is a
heavy demand among the new
irrigation farmers on lands of
the North Unit Irrigation district
for new acreage. A policy of set
ting aside from the national po
ktato acreage allotment, a substan
tial acreage for new reclamation
projects has been established.
The Jefferson county PMA com
mittee is seeking to" have a sub
stantial number of such acres ap
plied to the new irrigation district.
Rescued Airmen
Greet Families;
5 Still Missing
Fort Worth, Tex.. Feb. 18 mi
Nine grinning B-36 airmen
parachute survivors of their
abandoned superbomber off the
British Columbia coast putter
ed happily around their homes to
day after a dramatic return here
by air.
Their arrival aboard a four
engine C-54 transport at Carswell
air field last night carried a touch
of drama reminiscent of that
which sent them bailing out of
their crippled B-36, wherr three
of its six engines were knocked
out. i
The right outboard engine of
the C-54 was dead when it touch
ed down at 10:32 p.m. (CST) and
taxied down the ramp toward a
joyful group of wives arid rela
tives. The .engine was halted
over Albuquerque, N.M., because
of an oil leak.
Propeller Feaftiered
"We paid no attention to the
one propeller being feathered,"
said the airmen, and their waiting
wives didn't learn of the incident
until tne snip came in lor a landing.
It was a tense moment when
the ship rolled to a halt before
a battery of portable floodlights
llgntlng tne ramp to daytime bril
liance. Some 50 wives, children, rela
tives and friends pushed past
guards when a loading ramp was
put in place.
TSgt. Martin B. Stephens. 30
gunner from Houston, Tex., was
first to rush down the ramp and
into the arms of his wife, who
was told three times Wednesday
her husband was alive, and told
three times he was still missing.
Wife Greeted
v "Oh, darling. You're safe . ...
you're safe. Thank God," she
cried as she hugged .her husband.
The dark-haired, slender wife
dt Capt. Harold L. Barry, 30, pilot
of Ithe B-36, was near tears. Her
lips trembled, but she managed
a big smile as they embraced.
The happy airmen kissed and
re-kissed their wives. Then they
turned lipstick-smeared to
newsmen and photographers.
The youngest member of the
B-36 crew Corp. Richard J.
Schuler, 22, radio mechanic from
Miami, Fla. -r- was the only one
who had no one present to "greet
him.
Has Girl Friend
The tousle-haired- Schuler ad
mitted he had a girl friend in
Miami,- and. snid that "while
theres' no one here to meet me,
it's a wonderful feeling to be
back."
Stephens was asked if he was
going to keep on flying. "I sure
am," he replied.
"Oh, don't say that," his b!o"de
wife exclaimed with a weak smile.
The airmen were in good snir
its and appeared in fine physical
condition although tired as they
stood with their wives' arms
about them.
The group sobered when asked
about their five fellow crewmen
still missing on Princess Royal
island.
"We're hoping they find them,
but I'm beginning to wonder."

Players Receive
Bend Ovation
By Ila S. Grant
Generous applause and sincere
praise from a capacity audience
last night in the auditorium of
new Thompson school rewarded
Bend Community Players for the
weeks of rehearsals and set-preparation
which preceded their first
public appearance as a little thea
ter group.
the three one-act plays, well-
chosen for variety in both charac
terization and background, were
presented with finesse that would
be a credit to a professional
troupe. Sharing honors with the
cast members and directors were
the artists in various fields who
built and decorated the sets, con
structed flood lights and handled
staging details.
Al Marvin, who designed the
stage settings and supervised
their construction revealed even
more unexpected talents last
night, with an impromptu dem
onstration of an electronic color
sound device, between the first
and second plays. His number was
entitled, "Fantasy With Colored
L,ignt. '
Plays Listed
"The Valiant," piece de resis
tance of the bill, was appropriate
ly placed in the middle of the
program. It was preceded by "The
Dear Departed," an entertaining
comedy of the Gay Nineties that
kept the audience chuckling, and
followed by a sophisticated mod
ern farce, "The Stepmother," that
put the smiles back on the many
watching faces.
James Dyke, as a convicted
murderer1 in "The Valiant," gave
a gripping performance, and Bev
erly Steen, as his sister, was as
lovely to look at as she was pleas
ant to hear. Ben Hamilton receiv
ed praise for his artistic suffer
ing in the role of the priest, and
Francis Stokesberry, as the pris
on warden, also carried his part
with ease and assurance.
George Jephson Turner and
Toni Smith, as Mr. and Mrs. Jor
dan in "The Dear Departed," re
galed the audience with their in
terpretation of the calculating
visiting relatives, and Mrs. Alme
da Hoist, in the leading role,
handled her part well. Harry Davy
was excellent as the grandfather,
and Neil Head and Marilyn
Brown supported ably.
Mrs. Allen Young was in good
form in "The Stepmother," never
failing out of character as the
jaded, self-centered novelist. Mrs.
Robert Cutter was perfectly at
home on the stage, and Neil Head
made a handsome suitor. George
Jephson Turner "rolled 'em in the
aisle" with his deliberate ham
ming as the love-lorn doctor.
Directors were Grace Mary
Linn, Harry Davy and George
Jephson Turner, with Mrs. G. W.
Sugden as general manager of
the production. Mrs. Ted Shoop
was in charge of costumes. A
corps of other little theater mem
bers assisted with behind-the-scenes
details.
Worker Buried
In Sand Mass
Lomita, Calif., Feb. 18 (Ui A
GOman tfrew worked today to
reach Lester Isaac Nijwton, oo,
buried with 144 sticks of dyna
mite in an avalanche at a sand
pit.
Scant hope was held that New
ton would be found alive.
. Newton, superintendent of a
sand and gravel company which
works the pit, was buried alive
under hundreds of tons of sand
yesterday. Two others narrowly
escaped a similar fata
Buried with Newton were
bound bundles of capped dyna
mite. However, workers said the
dynamite would go off only if
lighted. They said jarring would
not cause it to explode.
An avalanche from the 300-foot
rfm of the big pit smothered
Newton as he, Carl Deal, 48, and
Eddie Hughes, 35, walked along
the floor of the pit. The men
were preparing to touch off a
dynamite charge.
. Mountain Falls
"It was like a whole mountain
falling," Dean said. "I yelled a
warning to Newton who was
about 30 feet ahead ot us, and
Hughes and I dropped the dyna
mite and ran like hell up the op
posite skle of the pit.
"Another second and I don't
think we would have made it," he
said.

Limited Sweets,
Adequate Diet
Good Teeth Aids
Oregon State College Evi
dence that the combination of an
adequate diet and a restricted use
of candy and soft drinks results
in fewer decayed teeth in chil
dren is shown in a dental study
of 163 boys and girls at the Chll-
own s arm home by two Oregon
State college school of home ec
onomics research staff members.
Results of the study are pub
lished in the December edition of
the Journal of Dental Research,
The Investigation, part of the
state-federal cooperative research
on the relationship of nutrition to
tooth decay, was conducted by Dr.
Demetrios M. Hadjimarkos and
Dr. Clara Storvick.
The investigators, both In the
O.S.C. foods and nutrition depart
ment, found that the children at
the W.C.T.U. home, three miles
north of Corvallis, had an aver
age of 4.5 decayed, missing, and
lilted teeth each. Their ages rang
ed from 6 to 16 years.
Previous investigations by Dr.
Hadjimarkos and Dr. Storvick
showed that the number of de
cayed, missing and filled teeth
for 15-year-olds lii Clatsop county
averaged 15.1, nearly double the
8.4 caries average in the same
Farm Home age group. The aver
age for Coos county 15-year-olds
was U.fa, for Deschutes 12 and
for Klamath 9.6. Similar studies
for 15-year-olds showed 6.6 in
Hagerstown, Md.; 6.5 in San Fran
Cisco and 6.9 for New York City.
Mini ies Made
In an effort to explain the wide
difference in the dental caries at
tack in Farm Home children and
those in the four Oregon coun
tics, the researchers turned to an
examination of the fluorine con
tent of the water supply and the
over all diet pattern of the Farm
Home children.
They found that the small
amount of fluorine in the water
of the Farm Home could not be
considered as a factor. After
studying the weekly allotments of
basic foods served in the eight dif
ferent cottages at the home, plus
the variety of foods available in
almost unlimited amounts from
the institution's own farm, the re
searchers concluded that the chil
dren's daily food intake constitut
ed an adequate diet.
Desserts, such as pie, cake and
pudding are Served once or twice
daily and there is no deliberate
restriction in the consumption of
refined sugars, it is pointed out,
but candy bars, carbonated bev
erages and sweets in general are
not used often as the said of those
Items is not allowed at the insti
tution. The authors concluded
that "the sheltered life of the
subjects as well as the adequacy
of their diets automatically may
have served to decrease further
the consumption of refined su
gars and sweets in general.
