ASKS CAMPAIGN TO STIMULATE DAIRY PRODUCTS Pointing out that the supply of dairy products has been increasing rapidly during the past few months wliile consumption has decreased to a large extent, Sidney Miller, of Woodburn. president of the Oregon Dairymen's association, in an ad dress before the Salem chamber of commerce Monday urged concerted action of the herd owners and busi ness men of the state in an educa tional program which would result in placing milk and its products more frequently upon tlie tables of the families of the nation. Miller pointed out that while business interests of the state were demanding that Russian lumber be excluded from competition with the Oregon brand, no concerted effort has been hade toward protecting the dairymen from Importations of copra. He showed, however, that w h i le there were 147 .000 tons of copra delivered at the Port of Port land during 1930, but 22.000 tons had been brought into the same port during the first nine months of 1931. "I would Impress upon the people the value of dairy products to the human family." Miller declared In asking for action upon a campaign of education. "I would not belittle the efforts toward placing the facts before the school children, but I believe the parents are the ones to educate. Statistics show that but 77 per cent of the men and but 72 per cent of the women drink milk. Max Gehlhar, state director of agriculture, in Introducing the speaker, outlined the workings of the Oregon Dairy Council, a newly formed organization having for its purpose the Increase of consump tion of dairy products. NEW IDEAS IN ILLUMINATION Entries continue to come in for the Christmas outdoor illumination contest sponsored for the fifth time by the Salem Ad club. New ideas in displays have been carefully worked out to catch tk approval of Xhe Judges when they make their rounds Wednesday night. The contest provides one of the most enjoable features of the holt day season in Salem. Thousands of people follow the Ad club trail to see the ideas worked out by con testants. As one Salemite who is proud of the appearance of his home said, the Christmas lights bloom around home at this season when no other plants grow. A survey of the dealers handling the weatherproof outdoor illumin ation units shows prices are lower than ever before, making it easy to glorify every home In keeping with holiday spirit. Those who have not yet entered their name so that the judges may appraise their work should mail their entry not later than Monday to the Salem Ad club, post o thee box Doorstops of painted yellow duck lings, wooden and paper toys, thread holders, and many other articles are on sale at the Lincoln school second grade room where the children are sponsoring a toy sale. A decorated booth, with shelves and counter, is used for the salesroom. Two small merchants, Wayne Lundy and Rob ert Blake, are the merchants in charge. The other children in the second grade have assisted both in making the toys and in decorating the room and the booth. The sale started Monday and will continue until Wednesday afternoon or until all articles are disposed of. All Sunday school basketball league players have been asked to be present at the Y. M. C.

Children at Leslie school have an astoundingly large pile of gifts at the loot of the Christmas tree in the main haH of their school build ing.

The stepfather was Herbert Bow en, 39.

It is pretty hard to draw a line of demarcation between a profes sional performance and a home- talent production such as that to be given by the united artists of the Elks and tlie American Legion, as sisted by some talent that is not af filiated with eltlier organization. As a matter of fact the big show has been trained to the point of practi cal perfection, and this, together with the fact that some of the per formers and directors have had professional experience, will make the performance an entertainment feature of the first class. Final dress rehearsal was held Sunday. It went off like clock work with everybody clicking, and the entire cast is on its toes and rar ing to go when the curtain goes up at 8:15 o'clock Monday night. A lot of Ingenuity has gone into the assembling of the scenery and the highest degree possible in stage effects, it is believed, has been at tained. with nothing left out that would add to the elaborateness necessary to put the show acrocs as it has to be done for the satisfac tion of a critical audience. The performance will be In two parts, and It is estimated that two nours. perhaps a little more, will be necessary for the presentation. A special feature will be contributed by the Barbara Barnes school of the Dance. Lyman McDonald, who has performed with credit in other shows in Salem, will again serve as interlocutor. The sale of tickets has been rea sonably satisfactory it was reported Monday. Tlie proceeds are to be dl vided equally between the Elks and the American legion for their Christmas charity funds.

SET HEARING ON COLUMBIA FOR JANUARY Washington jPi A hearing be fore the war department engineers hi January on their proposed re port against Immediate action on the Columbia river development and basic projects, was asked Mon day by Senator Dill of Washington. We are anxious, he said, to ex pedite consideration and aclion on this subject as much as possible." In a letter to the department concerning the Columbia basin project Senator Dill said: "In your statement regarding this report you say there is no certainly that suffi cient power could be sold to pay for this project and assist in pro viding water for irrigation purposes. It is mv view that the report of the district engineer is based upon the theory that the project should not be begun until the necessary contracts for the sale of sufficient power with sufficient profits have been entered into by prospective purcnasers oi power. "We believe an oral hearing will show we are Justified in asking that this report be approved and sent to congress now so we can pass legislation based upon that theory. "Building of this project Is of most vital concern to the north west. People of the northwest need this development badly. It will supply employment; it will quicken ousincss prospects of every kind there; it will give work and new hope to great numbers of people in the northwest who are suffering so severely from the effects of this de- pression by providing for a vast : supply of cheap hydro-elBrtrtc power and by opening up new pos sibilities for manufacturing as well as a future production of agricul tural products that will not compete with general agriculture production of the country." Representative Robert R. Butler of Oretfon said he wanted to study the report thoroughly before com menting.
